Chapter 687 [Choose! What kind of all-star are you? 】

The Suns adjusted their lineup and sent two defenders to fight for the offense, and let 196cm Laga Bale serve as a small forward, and 211cm Valejo leads four smalls.

This is a targeted adjustment. Bowen is easy to defend and lacks the ability to hold the ball. Blake is enough to defend himself. It doesn't matter if he is 10cm short. Bale's defense is better than Josh Howard's, and he tried it in the regular season.

The Spurs also made adjustments. The big man Rasu Nestrovic was substitute. His movement speed was very slow. He couldn't form a double tower defense pick-and-roll with Duncan. Horry is 36 years old and has better movement than him. His shooting range is beyond the three-point line.

Rasu had 51 games in the regular season, but it was just a fake. He averaged only 19 minutes per game, scoring 4.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, 0.4 assists and 1.1 blocks. The management no longer had any expectations for him, and summer would definitely trade it out.

Duncan won the jump shot, and the Spurs attacked first.

Guo Xu retreated into the three-point line and let Parker take a step, preventing breakthroughs but not shooting.

Duncan and Parker played pick-and-roll in the middle, and the other three opened up space. This is the key tactic of the Spurs this season, and Popovich knew the benefits of three players who could shoot three points together.

When he encountered the pick-and-roll, Guo Xu immediately retreated and bypassed Duncan, taking advantage of his physical coordination, and quickly moved across to block Parker's breakthrough route. Parker protected the ball and passed it to Duncan who was cutting, and Valejo stepped forward to defend.

Duncan leaned against Valaijo and took the ball with his back, then flicked and turned to the left and jumped to the ball, avoiding the blocking ball and making an effort. 0 to 2.

Guo Xu pricked Valaijo twice on the sidelines and said loudly: "Anderson, you're good at defending."

Valaijo completed the task as long as he pushed Duncan away from the basket. Duncan only had high offensive efficiency at low posts and at the basket, had the ability to shoot mid-range but no dominant power, and had always had a shooting percentage of about 40%, and did not take many shots.

When the Suns attacked, Blake dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Guo Xu adopted an off-ball style and ran from the left bottom corner to the right, and Valejo had no ball cover at the bottom line.

When Bale saw Guo Xu running, he immediately gave up his low angle and ran 70 degrees to the right, forming a triangular offensive position.

This is a big killer that belongs to the Suns, and all teams are annoyed because double-teaming Guo Xu is prone to vacant of low-post inside players or Bale who is online. If he doesn't double-team, he can catch the ball and play singles, and sometimes he can catch the ball and shoot directly.

Valaijo successfully blocked Parker, and Guo Xu received a pass from Blake on the right side, but Duncan did not switch to defense.

The Horry Spurs will have one flaw, that is, their defense against the penalty area.

When he was in the Lakers, Horry was not bad in defense, and he was even excellent with his experience. Now he is really not good at defending the penalty area. He is 206cm tall, in order to maintain mobility and lose weight to 103 kilograms, he suffers in the fight. He is not good at 206cm tall and is not easy to interfere with shooting, speed and bounce are all falling.

The Spurs hoped for Parker's speed of defense, but this was the Suns' home court. The referee could not have called Valejo to cover a foul as soon as he came up. The Brazilian actor's football quotient was very high, and he perfectly grasped the scale and blocked Parker steadily.

Guo Xu easily received the ball from the bottom corner on the right, made a three-pointer, and the ball was hollowed into the net. 3 to 2.

The Spurs played pick-and-roll, but Guo Xu still chose to bypass the screen from the inside to chase and defend. Parker made a quick stop and jump shot from the three-point line this time. Guo Xu could not block the block, but the ball was off and Haslem won the rebound.

When Duncan stood outside, no one in the Spurs grabbed the frontcourt rebound, but it only ensured the speed of returning to defense. This is an important reason why the Spurs made Horry. They were waiting for opportunities on the outside, and they retreated quickly and the joint defense was in place.

In the Suns position battle, the tactics just now were fought again, and Blake protected the ball and organized Guo Xu to run, but he still went from left to right.

After receiving the ball, Parker chased and defended it, and it was a little slower. Guo Xu took the ball to the bottom corner and his fake action was very realistic. Then he dribbled the ball and took a step to the left, took a step horizontally with his left foot, and made a 50-degree jump shot and three-pointer.

Parker was directly pulled apart by two steps, and Bowen let go of Bale to make up for defense and Guo Xu made another three-pointer. 6-2.

The home fans cheered together. Guo Xu was in a very brave state today and could score high points, which is what they most want to see.

The commentator of CCTV5 also had similar expectations. Zhang Heli said: "After entering the playoffs this year, Guo Xu has not scored more than 50. I hope he can get a high score in this game."

Xu Jicheng smiled and said, "If the Spurs kept asking Parker to defend alone, I would feel it would be easy to get 50 points. The move to step down and jump shot will be difficult to defend."

Guo Xu's step-removing technique has been the main practice during the cycle, and he has mastered his skills. He takes most of his moves with the ball. He can get rid of defense with speed, and his coherence is second only to the "double step-removing" of step-removing. His step will be slightly slower, but it is completely in line with the rules.

The Spurs attacked, Parker broke through and was caught up by Guo Xu again, and he could not make a familiar misplaced attack.

He has a very high success rate for breaking through the big guy by speed dislocation, and he can make a layup when he breaks in. However, Guo Xu's success rate bypassing the screen is also very high, and he can always keep the center of gravity and quickly chase and defend. Years of parkour and dance training have made Guo Xu's physical coordination league first.

Parker failed to pass it to Duncan. "Stone Buddha" hit Valaijo on the right back and turned around and took action. Under interference, Guo Xiu retreated and picked up the rebound, turned around and rushed to the front court to launch a fast attack.

Parker quickly returned to defense and did not dare to retreat too far, for fear that he would score three points.

Guo Xu rushed into the three-point line in one breath on the left, and dribbled the ball behind his left hand to his right hand. Parker also stopped and followed. Guo Xu held the ball with his right hand and changed direction to Parker and followed again. However, it was not over. Guo Xu pulled the ball and took a big step and turned to the middle, jumped with both feet in the face, got rid of Parker and attracted Duncan to make up for defense.

He turned halfway through the air, passed the ball behind his left hand, and gave it to the right baseline from Duncan. Valaijo took the ball and jumped up, and dunked the ball with both hands. 8 to 2.

Zhang Heli shouted: "Beautiful, this will definitely be selected as the top five footballs today, Guo Xu can play it casually."

Xu Jicheng said: "This is why he can win the regular season MVP for four consecutive times. It is impossible to defend against a single defense, and the technical connection is too good."

After criticizing Bowen, Guo Xu dared to jump. He didn't believe his opponents and dared to step on the ground, and Bowen was also led away by Bell.

He knows Valaijo's habits better. This inside teammate has a characteristic, which lacks range and does not run around. Haslem is on the left, and he usually stays on the right side, and only reaches the high position when pick-and-roll.

The Spurs attacked, and Parker passed the ball to Ginobili.

Bale defended closely, and Ginobili's snake-shaped breakthrough failed to start, so he was distributed to Horry.

Haslem defended, he was shorter than Horry, who could not have broken through with the ball, and was passed by Parker who was close behind him.

Parker still couldn't get rid of Guo Xu, and the face frame changed direction and turned around and was followed. The throwing shot was missed by Guo Xu. Valaijo stuck Duncan and drove the ball out, without taking the rebound, and Haslem grabbed the rebound.

Guo Xu received the ball in the first half, but the Spurs still didn't double-team.

Payton can double-team Guo Xu on the perimeter when he appears, and Blake and him can't work together. Blake can also catch the ball and throw three-pointers. Although he doesn't shoot as much as Guo Xu, his shooting percentage is over 40%, which is very accurate.

Guo Xu made an action one meter outside the three-point line, dribbled the ball under his crotch to his left hand, took the left foot and took a step back to face Parker's three-pointer.

Parker retreated a little and then moved forward without covering it. He was relieved when he seriously interfered with the ball and missed it. He was relieved to defend to this level if the opponent could score a goal, it would be very shocking. Guo Xu was best at doing this.

The Spurs attacked, Guo Xu let Parker go further, with two steps, and used his light to observe the side cover. It was difficult for a big man to block the opportunity at this distance.
