Legend of Tomorrow

The Spurs attacked, and Johnson and Duncan played a pick-and-roll in the middle, attracting Guo Xu to pursue him and then passed the ball to Duncan.

Duncan challenged O'Neal one-on-one from a high position. After probing, he succeeded in a mid-range shot. O'Neal stretched out his hand towards Duncan from two steps away. Unless he released his inner strength and made a strong and regretful play, it would not interfere. 26 to 12.

Whenever his opponent scores a goal like this, Kobe will show an impatient expression, disgusted with O'Neal's lazy defense. In Guo Xu's previous life, future Lakers players would not be able to defend well, and Kobe, as the boss, could yell at them. Now he couldn't yell at the team boss, so he could only keep his dissatisfaction in his heart.

From a paranoid perspective, O'Neal's behavior is unforgivable, but Kobe can't change O'Neal's character.

In O'Neal's view, the team can relax appropriately if it is too far ahead. There is no need to go all out in the regular season. If the team goes all out to lead for too many three quarters and gets off work, his playing time will be shortened and he will not be able to get good data. Staying on the court and being lazy will consume almost the same amount of energy, and he can fully enjoy the fun of playing basketball.

When the Lakers attacked, Guo Xu stretched out three fingers to signal O'Neal and decided to challenge with the ball from the outside.

He discovered that as long as he relies on screens to get rid of Johnson, Rose will be very active in guarding him, and Johnson will also chase and defend against double teams.

This is already star treatment. The opponent's purpose is to limit his scoring and cut off the pick-and-roll passing route, so that he cannot easily pass the ball to O'Neal who is cutting in the air. He passed the ball to his teammates, and when the ball reached O'Neal after the transfer, the Spurs could rely on rotating defense.

As long as O'Neal doesn't come to cover and stands in the low post to attract, how can the Spurs double-team Guo Xu? If the wing comes to double-team, he will have an opportunity to pass the ball. This is the play style of Curry at the peak of his previous life.

Guo Xu made correct adjustments according to the opponent's defensive system, and Jackson was very satisfied with it. If Guo Xu continues to play pick-and-rolls to find double teams, it will be more retarded. Zen Master likes to watch players adjust themselves on the court, which is a kind of test (lazy).

The Spurs players also automatically adjusted, with Rose guarding Grant, Duncan guarding O'Neal, Fox pulled Elliott to the baseline, and Anderson was closest to Guo Xu, but Kobe must not be left empty.

Guo Xu and other teammates pulled away, lowered their center of gravity and dribbled the ball to his right hand. He lightly touched his right shoulder and quickly changed direction to the left. After attracting Johnson to move laterally, he dribbled the ball behind his left hand to his right hand and moved laterally to catch his right foot. Step back and shoot a three-pointer from the middle.

This is the technique used by Guo Xu as the head coach at Polis. It is simple and effective. When combined with breakthroughs, it can create shooting space against defenders with average defense and insiders who switch defenses. In his previous life, Little Assassin Isiah Thomas, who also joined the NBA at the end of the second round, was known as the strongest 175cm on the planet by combining direction changes and step-back jumpers.

Johnson has never been a player known for his defense. At nearly 36 years old, he is now a black hole on the defensive end and cannot jump up. Guo Xu was only slightly disturbed and hit his fourth three-pointer!

29 to 12, personal 16th point.

All the fans applauded and cheered together, and Megan Fox also turned into a fan girl and participated in the shouting.

Even Jackson didn't expect Guo Xu to burst out with such great energy. He is an old-school coach who will ask his players to mainly take shots from mid-range and close to the basket, but he also did not order Guo Xu to reduce his three-point shots. Once the three-pointers are taken, the scoring efficiency is super high and the point difference is very fast. It got bigger.

Popovich frowned even more tightly. The pick-and-roll defense worked well, but what if Guo Xu directly held the ball in a one-on-one challenge? He could see that Johnson couldn't guard him. Even if the two faced off when they were young, it was Johnson who suffered because he was not good at shooting.

When guarding Johnson, Guo Xu mainly defends breakthroughs, keeping two steps away and letting him shoot casually from the outside. This makes it difficult for Johnson to use his breakthrough skills. Johnson, on the other hand, cannot defend like this. Guo Xu's shooting is more of a threat than his breakthrough.

The Spurs need someone to step up and score to stabilize the situation.

After several passes, there was no open space. Duncan singled out O'Neal in the low post and turned around and made a throw. 29 to 14.

When the Lakers attacked, Guo Xu dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Johnson chose to press closely this time, but Guo Xu pushed him with his back and lost his center of gravity. By the time he stabilized, his opponent had already turned around and broke through.

Guo Xu shot a three-pointer from the right, but Johnson was unable to catch up and block the shot. Fortunately, Guo Xu was not accurate every time, and the ball missed the basket.

This was only Guo Xu's first time hitting the iron. Many spectators stood up and were ready to cheer, thinking that he would score no matter what shot he made.

The Spurs attacked, and Johnson wanted to return one.

He is a famous veteran with high prestige and a leader in the locker room. The No. 6 jersey is destined to be retired by the Spurs in the future. How can he bear it when a rookie scores consecutive points in front of him?

He held the ball in isolation against Guo Xu, used his skillful technique to continuously dribble the ball, then changed direction and entered the three-point line, and made a sudden stop jump shot.

Johnson avoided the block, but this kind of long-range mid-range shot is the least efficient way to score. One step further away is a three-pointer, and the shooting rate is far inferior to that of a layup. Guo Xu deliberately forced him to take a shot in this area, although it only slightly interfered with the defense. It also worked.

Grant grabbed the rebound and passed it to Kobe. Kobe was a little moved and ran back and forth for many rounds before finally touching the basketball.

Kobe dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Just as he was about to single out Anderson, he felt a sharp gaze coming from the low post... O'Neal squeezed Duncan for position, and he also wanted to return the favor.

If Kobe was 11 years later, even if the bone spurs in his feet pierced his sneakers, he would have to shoot the ball himself. But now, Kobe is a selfless second-in-command. He has never taken more than 20 shots in a season in his career. He immediately realized that he cannot be as independent as Jason Guo!

Kobe lobbed to O'Neal, who was asking for the ball in the low post. O'Neal just squeezed Duncan with his back and attracted a double-team from Elliott. He passed the ball to the outside and Fox made a three-pointer from the bottom corner.

Fox is the team's last choice for offense, and is the true king of return runs. He hasn't touched the ball for a long time, and he hasn't been able to seize open opportunities.

During the Spurs position battle, Rose drew Grant away from the penalty area. Johnson and Duncan blocked the ball and split the ball. Duncan feinted with the ball in the middle and broke through, causing O'Neal to foul and made one of two free throws. 29 to 15.

Grant grabbed the rebound and passed it to Guo Xu. Rose and Johnson suddenly double-teamed him in the frontcourt. The other Lakers players didn't pay attention and ran towards the frontcourt.

This is the Spurs' routine. Suddenly, the opponent's point guard is caught off guard. Guo Xu dribbles the ball horizontally to avoid Johnson. Rose rushes up and stabs the basketball away with his right hand. Johnson picked up the ball and passed it to Rose, who scored with a one-handed dunk. 29 to 17.

Guo Xu added a turnover statistic. Facing the strong Ross, he couldn't do anything even if he was under the basket.

Guo Xu dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Johnson got close to him again, and Kobe ran to the right to get the ball. He protected the ball with his back and glanced at Kobe without passing it. He bumped into Johnson with his back. He turned to the right with the ball in his right hand, passed Johnson in one step, and stopped in front of the three-point line in the middle to grab a shot.

His movements were very coherent, but Johnson was knocked back a small step and failed to follow the turn. The arc of the ball was very high, the shot was straight enough, and it hit the net!

32 to 17, Guo Xu scored his 19th point and made 5 of 6 three-pointers.

When returning to defense, he raised his arms in the General celebration of his previous life, which has now become a trademark of him, and the atmosphere in Staples Arena was completely detonated.

Guo Xu is in great form today, is the little general considered a goal?
