Legend of Tomorrow

On the evening of June 6, the 2001 NBA Finals kicked off.

Zen Master Phil Jackson is really a different kind of coach. Even in the finals, he didn't say anything particularly encouraging. He just said, You are all elites. We will win without a doubt.

Guo Xu complained in his heart, KFC is the most suitable position for millions of elites. Isn't that too hasty of you?

In fact, Jackson has a way to boost morale, but he just doesn't use his words. He wore the 2000 Lakers championship ring today, telling young people in this way that if you play hard, you will have a ring soon.

When the players came out, Guo Xu became the team's third-to-last player and received warm applause. When he scored 6,710 points, all the veterans in the team recognized him as the team's third leader and a very reliable teammate.

Iverson came on the scene, and the Lakers home fans also gave him warm applause. Everyone felt that this was a respectable opponent.

Today's Staples Center is packed with stars, including many singers and movie stars in the front row.

After Guo Xu appeared on the stage, he greeted many people. In addition to his family and friends, he also had conversations with Jack Nicholson, Britney Spears, Stallone, Cameron Diaz, etc. God's man.

The world covers nearly 200 countries and regions, and the finals are broadcast live in more than 40 languages, including China cctv5.

Zhang Lili said: Viewers, the anticipated showdown is about to begin. Guo Xu will face Iverson again. I hope they can join forces to give a wonderful game.

Xu Jicheng said: The inside star showdown between O'Neal and Mutombo is also a highlight. The two are old rivals. MVP faces the best defensive player. I think Mutombo must be under a lot of defensive pressure today. In the All-Star Game It was very difficult for him to defend O'Neal alone.

This statement exalts Mutombo. Not only is it difficult, he can't guard it at all.

Mutombo is characterized by his height and long arms, superb blocking skills, and outstanding ability to interfere with shots, block shots, and rebound. However, no matter how rich his defensive experience is, he currently weighs only 111 kilograms and does not have enough strength to resist. Live O'Neill.

Zhang Lili said: The 76ers' offense mainly relies on Iverson. Today is also a test for Guo Xu. His performance on the defensive end can directly determine the outcome of the game.

Guo Xu hit consecutive three-pointers during the warm-up and felt good during shooting practice in the morning. After he has practiced shooting to this level, as long as he finds the rhythm correctly and knows whether it is there as soon as he takes the shot, the habit becomes natural.

After searching for a while, I felt like

The starters from both sides stood on the court.

Five Lakers: Guo Xu, Kobe, Fox, Grant, O'Neal.

76ers five players: Iverson, McGee, Jumaine Jones, Te'lon Hill, Mutombo.

Snow continued to be responsible for leading the substitutes. He was injured and could not play for too long.

Commentators from major radio stations analyze the lineup and most believe that the 76ers only have an advantage at the point guard position. The two teams are evenly matched at the 4th position, and the Lakers have the advantage in other positions. The 76ers want to win a championship unless a miracle happens.

O'Neal won the jump ball and the game was on.

Kobe received the ball and moved it to the frontcourt. Guo Xu first went to the right corner and then ran up the line at full speed. O'Neal pulled out from the low post to help him block Iverson. This type of side off-ball screen combination is used by the Lakers several times in every game, and it has been tried and true. As long as the opponent's inside defense is not resolute enough, Guo Xu will get a chance to make a shot.

Can the 35-year-old Mutombo get up soon? The answer is yes, light weight means fast speed, which is very obvious in the first few rounds.

The way Mutombo maintains his condition is very similar to that of future Duncan, that is, by losing weight. When he was young, he weighed around 120 kilograms, but now he cannot keep up with the pace of the game and is prone to injuries. In Guo Xu's previous life, after Yao Ming was injured and reimbursed in 2008, the 42-year-old Uncle Mu was still able to start for the Rockets and help the team win 22 consecutive games. He is so awesome.

But now, Mutombo sees the Lakers playing screens and cooperating, and it is difficult to make a choice. What if he switches to guard Guo Xu and O'Neal makes an air cut? The reason why the Lakers' pick-and-roll is so powerful is because the 29-year-old O'Neal is also very fast.

O'Neal has made many fast-break dunks this season, as well as the performance of crossing over and breaking through while facing the frame with the ball. Don't believe it, he is this kind of freak.

As soon as Mutombo hesitated, the change of defense was slow. Guo Xu caught the ball at 70 degrees from the right and shot a three-point jumper. Iverson bypassed the screen and failed to catch up. The ball drew a beautiful arc and hit the net! 3 to 0.

When returning to defense, Guo Xu, Kobe and O'Neal all clapped their hands.

Zhang Lijia smiled and said: The Kobe Casserole combination, named after Chinese fans, completed a beautiful three-man combination in the opening game. O'Neal came out to cover and Guo Xu moved. It was difficult for all teams to defend.

If Fisher is running, most point guards can catch up by bypassing the screen. But it is difficult to catch up with Guo Xu. Not only does he run fast, but he also shoots fast. With the whole set of movements, he can resist shooting better than others. Cannon's Fisher was more than a second faster.

Xu Jicheng said: It depends on whether the 76ers can return the favor. If they can't guard the Lakers, they must be more efficient on the offensive end.

Iverson waited for his teammates to pull away, crossed the middle and changed directions to break through. The first time he changed to the right and Guo Xu followed. The second time he made the same move to the right, and Guo Xu followed up again and got close to him. Iverson protected the ball with his back, turned to the left with a slight sway of his shoulder, and was entangled by Guo Xu again.

Guo Xu's defensive moves were very clean. He didn't reach out to steal, but just followed closely. The referee held the whistle in his mouth and observed carefully without blowing.

Iverson forced a turn to receive a step-back jumper. Guo Xu's prediction was accurate, he jumped up to close his eyes, and the ball bounced out of the frame. Fox grabbed the defensive rebound.

Guo Xu was ecstatic after he defended a ball. Sure enough, after his movement speed and reaction speed improved, Iverson would no longer be able to get rid of him easily. If the defender wanted to break through, he would have to use a fake move to stagger him, and Iverson's tricks Not as much as Kobe.

In his previous life, Tyronn Lue was even touted as Iverson's terminator. Many people have guarded Iverson in this year's playoffs. In the regular season, Guo Xu's defensive failure was not only due to lack of physical fitness but also lack of experience. Now his The anti-face frame breakthrough technology is a miracle!

He is the transformed Carp King, who turns into a dragon when faced with a storm!

When returning to defense, Iverson felt a turmoil in his heart. A master can tell the opponent's level in one matchup.

How can this be? How did his speed change so fast? Are you taking stimulants? !

Before the start of the finals, Iverson and his teammates watched some videos of the Lakers' previous games. Guo Xu defeated all the point guards in the first three rounds. Players of similar size to him had difficulty guarding his shots, while players taller than him had a hard time guarding him from shooting. His speed is not as fast as his, and it is easy for him to change direction and pass him one on one.

After watching the video, Iverson felt that he could do it, and believed that the point guards in the Western Conference were not strong enough. He is full of confidence, and his impression of Guo Xu remains on the game on January 2. At that time, he broke through easily, and Guo Xu's reaction was always a little slow.

Today, he clearly felt that Guo Xu's sensitivity was almost the same as his own.

Guo Xu slowly controlled the ball to the frontcourt. Instead of directly challenging Iverson, he played a pick-and-roll with Grant in the middle and went to the left.

Iverson's pursuit was in place this time, and Guo Xu had no chance to shoot, but half a second to pass the ball was enough.

He hit the ground and passed to O'Neal who was asking for the ball in the low post on the left, forming a triangle with Grant. Fox and Kobe opened up space on the right side, and it was time to test Mutombo.
