Legend of Tomorrow

When the Lakers attacked, Waiters and Thompson defended the pick-and-roll and double-teamed Guo Xu on the outside, leaving Horford empty. Guo Xu took advantage of the situation to distribute the ball. Horford had an open opportunity on the outside but did not shoot and passed it to Durant on the right.

Durant took a step and passed the ball to Guo Xu, who ran to the right corner. Adams completely blocked Waiters in the corner. His body cover quality is very high.

At this time, something magical happened. Westbrook did not switch defense to defend Guo Xu, but huddled near the penalty area and waited to grab the rebound, allowing Waiters to pursue the defense. Guo Xu easily made a three-pointer from the bottom corner and hit the net empty-handedly. 6 to 3.

The Thunder attacked, and Guo Xu let Wei Shao go two meters away. Wei Shao was not polite. He made a three-pointer from the middle and hit the ball without anyone defending him. Wei Shao relies entirely on his wind to shoot three-pointers, and he can score a lot when his hands are hot. His shooting percentage is almost the same when there is interference in front of him and when there is no interference in front of him.

In the regular season, his three-point shooting percentage and number of hits hit career highs. He averaged 34.3% shooting and 2.5 goals per game, which is about as accurate as it gets. His career three-point shooting percentage is 30.8%, which is not as good as Kobe.

Guo Xu wants to challenge the high-scoring record in the playoffs. The biggest headache is how to help the Thunder hold on to the score. Others in the Thunder rarely take shots, and Wei Shao's offensive efficiency is not high.

Adams grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed it to Guo Xu. Wei Shao immediately rushed forward to steal the ball like a gamble. Guo Xu didn't take the ball. He flicked the ball with his left hand and turned around for a fast break, allowing Wei Shao to miss.

If the star doesn't directly take the ball and tease it, the referee will not call a double-luck violation. Guo Xu developed this move into a unique skill. When counterattacking, he often uses the ball to pass the ball and uses his speed to surpass others.

Many people did not dare to press Guo Xu because of this. Wei Shao was bolder and not afraid of losing his position.

Guo Xu didn't dunk even when he was free. He stopped in front of the right three-point line to shoot a three-pointer and hit another one. 9 to 3.

Yu Jia said: Guo Xu is on full fire today. Those who say that Wei Shao's personal ability can compete with him should just go to sleep. One is unable to guard and the other is unwilling to guard. There is a Curry difference between the two. .”

Zhang Lili smiled and said: Guo Xu is still not guarding, I will put you two meters away and see how Wei Shao hits the ball...it's another zombie shot. If you dare to shoot, you won't score!

In his first two seasons in the league, Wei Shao's shooting ability was extremely poor, and he could leave the outside at will. The opponent's coach restricts him and always sticks to the inside, making it difficult for him to break through. In order to change, Wei Shao worked hard to practice long-range shooting. The action is not very beautiful, but fans say it is very practical.

As the name suggests, he definitely moves like a zombie. When Wei Shao's jump shot is accompanied by the zombie shot in the commentator's mouth, fans will instantly feel that the picture in front of them is indeed exactly the same as what the commentator said. starter

When he takes off, his body is upright, and even when he shoots, he holds the ball up with both hands. He looks very stiff, which makes people want to put a sign on his head... No matter how hard he works with this shooting posture, he can't stand it. From the extraordinary difference to the ordinary difference.

Many people may wonder why Wei Shao can still become the scoring champion when his shooting is so bad?

The answer is that most of his points come from counterattacks and forced breakthroughs. He averages 24 shots per game and averages 10.4 free throws per game. His style of play is actually not like Kobe, more like the answer.

As soon as the Lakers scored, the players could quickly get into position defensively. Guo Xu retreated so deep that Wei Shao couldn't force a breakthrough.

In the Lakers' position battle, Guo Xu was double-teamed from the outside and passed the ball first. He ran to the right and had no chance to catch the ball. He slid down the baseline and ran to the left. Adams blocked Waiters with a ball-free screen.

Waiters is 193cm tall and weighs 102kg. As a shooting guard, he is short and strong in confrontation. His somewhat round body is destined to not be very good at chasing and defending.

Guo Xu caught the ball in the left corner and Thompson defended it. After Guo Xu feinted, he took a step inside the three-point line and easily hit a 45-degree emergency stop jumper. 11 to 3.

Waiters didn't catch up, he went around to defend Adams. Based on his experience in the regular season, he felt that Guo Xu would definitely pass the ball to the center to misplace the ball, but Guo Xu made the shot himself in singles.

When the Thunder attacked, Guo Xu didn't even retreat so aggressively this time. He moved directly behind Wei Shao and started to defend from behind, even though Wei Shao was not good at step-back jump shots.

Wei Shao broke through with the ball and dunked the basketball with one hand. The Lakers players stared at their respective players and did not give him a chance to assist, watching him score easily. 11 to 5.

This defensive strategy was unheard of in NBA history, and Westbrook was a little confused. In this case, how should he show his comprehensive triple-double?

When the Lakers attacked, Adams covered Guo Xu in the midfield. Guo Xu took the ball and changed direction as soon as he came out of the center circle and shot a three-pointer. He avoided Taj Gibson's block and the ball missed.

Wei Shao grabbed the rebound and launched a quick counterattack. Guo Xu walked back to defend, with his head facing his own half without even looking at Wei Shao. Wei Shao easily entered the penalty area, and everyone in the Lakers ignored him. Even Durant followed Grant and did not cover up, watching him score another one-handed dunk. 11 to 7.

Zhang Lili sighed: The Lakers didn't guard Wei Shao at all today. They let him score at will. Anyway, Guo Xu will score more in a while.

Yu Jia said: This is because I am afraid that the score will open up and it is appropriate to let two players go. Today, Durant is watching the excitement and the ball is given to Guo Xu.

Guo Xu passed the ball first, then slipped through the baseline and ran to the right corner. Durant had the opportunity to challenge Grant, so he transferred the ball to Guo Xu and stood at 70 degrees on the right side, ready to catch the ball and shoot.

Adams blocked Waiters, but Wei Shao did not save the three-pointer. Instead, he huddled in the penalty area with center Adams and prepared to grab the rebound. It was a mess.

On the defensive end, he simply regards himself as an inside man, and his first priority is to protect backcourt rebounds. He was focused on grabbing rebounds with Adams and wanted to prove his physical fitness and comprehensive skills.

Although the opponent was a head taller and thicker than him; although the opponent was the King of the Sea and he was just a turtle, he was not afraid at all.

But how can there be rebounds in this kind of offense? Guo Xu knew the speed of Waiters' pursuit and knew that he could not cover him, so he caught the ball and shot quickly without pressure.

His rhythm was perfect, he was completely unfazed by slight interference, and the ball hit the net empty.

14 to 7, Guo Xu took over the Lakers' opening scoring, having already hit four three-pointers. starter

The fans applauded vigorously, the two star point guards scored soaring points, and everyone else was a supporting role. This game was very enjoyable to watch.

Guo Xu took a walk and returned to defend, and Wei Shao once again gave up shooting three-pointers and relied on his super physical fitness to start driving to the basket. This time Adams made up the defense and Wei Shao passed the ball to TT Thompson.

Thompson missed the shot when he was open on the left. He took a step into the penalty area and his throw was interfered by Adams who turned around and missed the basket. Thompson has yet to develop his shooting skills after six seasons in the league. He is worse than the Warriors' Draymond Green. In the parallel world, Green mocked him because of this, making him laugh at the same time.

Adams dialed the ball out, Horford grabbed the rebound and immediately passed the ball long-distance. Guo Xu had already run into the Thunder's penalty area. After Wei Shao broke through and scored the ball, he was not eager to return to defense, and actively rushed to grab the offensive rebound but failed.

Waiters was facing off against Booker on the offensive end, and was far away from Guo Xu, missing him completely.

Guo Xu easily dunked the basketball with both hands and scored. 16 to 7.

Thunder coach Donovan finally requested a timeout. He was afraid that Guo Xu would score 30+ points in a single quarter and had to emphasize defense.

The Thunder's defense this season is scummy, conceding an average of 109.4 points per game. Their ability to make the playoffs is directly related to the referees' help.

They definitely couldn't guard against Guo Xu. The main problem is Westbrook. With such a point guard who is obsessed with grabbing rebounds and not guarding point guards, the Thunder's perimeter loopholes cannot be made up at all.

How to prevent counterattack? The speed of others is far behind Guo Xu...
