Chapter 769 [You have the ability to kill me]

When the Suns players left the court, they all smiled and slapped the substitutes to celebrate. Haslem handed Guo Xu a drink, but no one handed him a towel.

Barkley noticed this and smiled: "The difference between the two sides is not big, but Jason played very easily today. He won't even sweat in his playing style."

Kenny Smith said: "Jason plays with rhythm alone, Parker still can't gain the upper hand. As soon as he appears today, the atmosphere of the Suns is different, and the players are all brave enough to fight."

On the side of CCTV5, Zhang Heli also talked about the changes in the atmosphere in the Suns. The core of the game is not clear, and it is not surprising to lose to the Spurs. It is okay when playing with a tailwind. Once you are at a disadvantage, the Suns players don’t know who to hand the ball to, and they all have weaknesses.

The suspension ended, the Sun changed to another person, Anthony Parker came on, and Roy rested.

Anthony has average physical fitness and comprehensive skills. His current three-point shooting percentage is 42.2%. Today, Guo Xu holds a lot of balls, and Roy runs back most of the time on the court. His performance on the defensive end is just average, not as good as Ariza. Ariza has unstable three-pointers, and the person who is most suitable to play is Anthony.

The Spurs also changed their individuals, Bowen rested, and veteran Finley, who has the ability to play with the ball, appeared.

The game continued, and now Guo Xu could only go to the main defense of Parker. He and Bale had the same strategy, and he took two steps far, preventing breakthroughs but not shooting. In this case, the teammates were not good for Parker to cover, and the defender was too far away.

Parker has not practiced three-pointers in recent years. It doesn’t matter if he enters the playoffs, but it’s embarrassing to enter the playoffs. No one in his previous life thought that Parker, who had four champions, was a superstar because he wanted to play without the Spurs’ system.

Guo Xu kept his distance and tried his best to interfere with Parker, and no one helped him with defense.

After Finley came on the court, the Suns could not easily shrink and double-team near the penalty area. This year's playoffs, Finley's three-point shooting percentage exceeded 40%, and was mainly responsible for receiving and shooting three-pointers. Ginobili and Granger can also shoot three-pointers, and they shot a lot. Parker scored two points, even a 50% shooting percentage was better than the opponent's shooting on the outside.

Parker made a quick stop and jump shot from the three-point line. Guo Xu did not jump. He took the step forward and only had a slight interference. The ball popped up again. Skaya grabbed Duncan and Marion grabbed the backcourt rebound.

Guo Xu can imagine how upset he is from Parker's expression. His shooting opportunity is the best for the Spurs, and not shooting will hurt morale. He is a pick-and-roll weapon. Breakthrough can make slow-moving insiders cry and cry, but it is difficult to play against teams like the Suns that do not use traditional insiders.

In the Suns position battle, Guo Xu protected the ball and gave his teammates a secret code. Si gave Anthony no cover from the side, and the latter ran from the bottom corner on the left to 70 degrees. Granger defended on that side. After observing the situation, Guo Xu passed the ball to Marion, who was running to 70 degrees on the right.

Duncan did not defend himself, waiting for Sir and Marion to cut in the penalty area, and interfering with the shooting by rotation from the side.

Marion received the ball and scored an open position, making a jump shot three-pointer. 96 to 88.

Marion was in a very brave state today, playing the advantage of running and jumping on the offensive end, and his shooting percentage was also very high. Yesterday's training coaching team asked him to practice more shooting, and the team needed his performance. If he had free space, he wouldn't be able to make a total shot.

The Spurs attacked, Parker forced a breakthrough and rushed into the inside, and relied on the impact to squeeze out Guo Xu's layup. Marion slapped out with a big hat, and the ball was picked up by Anthony.

The Suns immediately launched a counterattack, Parker rushed too hard and flew out of the baseline, and Guo Xu was empty. He received the ball and advanced to the frontcourt to form a three-for-two, Sir S on the left and Bale on the right.

Guo Xu attracted Duncan to make up for defense and led it to Duncan. While moving, he turned his head and looked at Bell running towards the bottom corner on the right.

He calculated the best move and quickly closed the ball, and used his left hand to go around the back and passed the ball to the right back.

At the same time, he turned slightly, stretched out his right elbow back, and made a stretching movement similar to that of a stretching movement. He bounced the ball to the left with his elbow and gave it to Xiao Si.

In the time loop, he practiced this move specifically for the performance. His entire pass was completed very smoothly, and he moved towards Duncan to attract the defense and Sir, leaving Duncan no longer pounced on Sir.

Xiao Si, who followed up, took the ball and jumped up with one-handed windmill dunk.

98 to 88, Guo Xu had the 21st assist.

Xiao Si was excited to play. After dunking, he hit hard with Guo Xu and returned to defense. He felt that this goal would definitely become a classic in the future and was repeatedly mentioned by fans.

The commentators from all over the country who broadcast the game were also excited. Zhang Heli said: "In the critical game, in the last quarter of the heat, Guo Xu actually passed the ball with his elbow to assist Xiao Si. It was like a chocolate possession. This goal is definitely the best today."

Yu Jia said: "I have never seen Guo Xu beat him so fancy before. After being injured, he let go."

Zhang Heli smiled and said, "When he is healthy, he doesn't need to pass fancy balls, and he plays singles directly. Sometimes he drives the ball to double-team and breaks in, and he can pass the ball at will. Today, his ability to attract double-teams has become worse, and his playing is more beautiful."

The Spurs attacked, Duncan caught the ball at a low post and singled out against Sir Jersey, turned around and shot and returned a 98-90.

When the Suns attacked, Guo Xu and Xiao Si played pick-and-roll in the first half again. Granger changed defense and quickly blocked Guo Xu. Guo Xu changed direction to the middle, and Granger reacted quickly. He pulled the ball up, turned around and jumped gently, and passed the ball behind his head to the right.

The ball was passed from Granger's head, and the ball was very fast. Granger didn't react and turned his head and saw Marion running to the outside of the three-point line on the right.

He did not hesitate at all, and jumped into another shot before Duncan defended.

101 to 90, Guo Xu had the 22nd assist.

Duncan, who had few expressions on the court, began to frown. The coach arranged for him not to prevent him from going out of the three-point line and defending the penalty area, but now the Suns are shooting crazy from the outside.

The Spurs' defensive strategy has always been "preventing breakthroughs but not shooting". The inside defense is mainly single defense and assisted defense. The wing players often shrink, and they cannot do this when facing the Suns Spurs.

Guo Xu is a real person who has no dead ends in shooting. Even if there is injury, it will not affect the shooting. In addition, players on the Suns have a range, so the Spurs cannot close the formation too tightly. It is not the Spurs' normal strategy to expand the inside line. Duncan will invest a lot of energy and may be fouled.

As the only axis in the inside, if Duncan gets into foul trouble, the Spurs will basically lose.

Popovich is relatively stubborn on the defensive end and always has the attitude of "If you have the ability, you will throw me to death", and is often thrown to death by teams with stars on the outside.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Popovich was forced to request a timeout again. Tactical adjustments were of little use. The Spurs' biggest weakness now is that Parker's mentality collapsed.

When Guo Xu became the shortest MVP in NBA history, all point guards wanted to defeat him to prove their strength. The person who wanted to defeat Guo Xu the most was Nash. In 2004, Nash went to the east and the goal became a breakthrough in the east. At this time, the person who was always pulled out to compare with Guo Xu became Parker.

Guo Xu can make a long three-pointer and send out 20+ assists, but Parker is unsure of shooting at two steps outside the three-point line, and the mid-range shooting is not accurate. With such a comparison between the two, how can fans have a good impression of Parker?

Parker's speed can prevent Guo Xu from breaking through, but he cannot prevent him from passing the ball. Not only does he want to win, but he also wants to be more beautiful than Guo Xu. The team's score is behind. His playing rhythm is in chaos, and he is eager to perform.
