Legend of Tomorrow

In Guo Xu's previous life, people often said that Kobe didn't trust his teammates. In fact, he would still trust them. It depends on who his teammates are.

Kobe often dueled with Guo Xu in the team, and he knew how much Guo Xu's defensive ability had improved. Iverson didn't play pick-and-roll, so he didn't consider assisting defense at all and just followed Snow. In this case, it is very difficult for Snow, who already lacks shooting range, to score.

The 76ers players tried to grab the offensive rebound, but Grant and O'Neal blocked it left and right. They couldn't even jump. They could only watch O'Neal easily tiptoe and grab the ball with one hand.

When the Lakers attacked, Guo Xu played a pick-and-roll in the middle and passed to O'Neal on the left. O'Neal turned around in the corner and took a step with the ball frame. He first took the ball with his left hand and took a small step to the right, and then made a sharp change to the left to pass the ball to the baseline. The jump shot missed due to interference from Mutombo.

Although the ball did not go in, O'Neal attracted two defenders in the low post. Grant grabbed the offensive rebound in the middle. The second attack missed due to interference from Teilon. Mutombo grabbed the backcourt rebound. The 76ers struggled. The defense was down for one round.

When the 76ers attacked, Iverson singled out Guo Xu, forced a breakthrough and turned around to shoot. Under interference, he finally hit a mid-range shot. 24 to 5.

Guo Xu immediately responded, not with a strong hit, but with an assist.

He played a pick-and-roll with Grant in the middle and rushed to the left. Fox slid down the baseline and relied on O'Neal to cover without the ball and ran to the left corner, preparing to form a triangle on this side. McGee was slow to pursue after being blocked, and Mutombo did not switch out of the penalty area.

Guo Xu saw the opportunity and passed it to Fox, who aimed for a three-pointer from the bottom corner and hit another one!

27 to 5, Guo Xu’s third assist.

The biggest weakness of the iron barrel formation and pseudo-zone defense is the two bottom corners. It is too difficult for players to switch defenses or rotate.

When the 76ers attacked, Iverson became more and more impatient and wanted to return the favor. He ran from the left to catch the ball and shot a three-point jumper. He relied on the screen to get out of the space. Guo Xu had no time to jump to interfere, but the ball bounced out of the frame.

Even if no one is defending, Iverson's long-range shot is not accurate. It is purely a gamble on touch. This is the same situation as when Guo Xu came to the Lakers. Shooting based on feel is not enough. Guo Xu didn't practice mid-range shooting at that time, and his mid-range shooting percentage in the test was not as high as three-pointers.

Nothing but familiarity.

Next, the Lakers steadily controlled the situation.

Iverson played very actively. He worked hard to break through and took shots at every opportunity. He even rushed to grab an offensive rebound and scored a team-high 8 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist in the first quarter.

However, he only made 4 of 13 shots, which was extremely inefficient.

Guo Xu scored 8 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, making 3 of 4 field goals and 2 of 3 three-pointers.

Other players O'Neal had 9 points and 5 rebounds, Fox had 10 points and 4 rebounds, and Grant had 4 points and 2 rebounds. Kobe scored the fewest points among the starters, taking only two shots. He was horribly selfless, scoring 2 points and 3 assists.

The Lakers blossomed more, leading 33-13 by 20 points in the first quarter.

Everyone feels that the outcome of both sides has been decided, and the focus of this game has changed from who can win? It became How many points can the Lakers beat their opponents?

The 76ers can't open up the offensive end at all, and fake fans can see this.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Iverson had a clear advantage in one-on-one against Fisher. He attracted double teams and could assist his teammates. In order to restrict him, the Lakers asked Brian Shaw to replace Fisher in the first quarter, and then let Kobe be the main defender. Iverson's mismatch performance against Kobe was also good.

The Lakers' defensive tone is to defend Iverson throughout the court and try to prevent him from catching the ball. Now Guo Xu has completed this task by himself. The two are racing on the court with little difference in speed.

Iverson used pick-and-rolls or double-teamed Lakers players in the low post, which not only restricted Iverson, but also guarded Snow and McGee. These two have certain offensive abilities with the ball, but it depends on who the opponent is. They obviously suffered a disadvantage against the Lakers' defensive experts.

In the second quarter, Brown sent four starters. Iverson, McGee, Tai Long, and Mutombo didn't rest. Only Laga Bell came on the bench.

Brown sent the biggest magic weapon he has ever coached, and success or failure depends on this. The name of this magic weapon is The Main Force of Death. There are only six or seven people in the team who rotate, and the others are responsible for shouting 666 on the sidelines. This is how they broke out in the Eastern Conference.

In a sense, this is an amazing metaphysics, but it is a pity that Brown has hair and his metaphysical skills are not yet mastered.

On the Lakers' side, Guo Xu and Kobe didn't take a break and continued to play as substitutes. The other three were Fisher, Horry, and Grant.

Grant rested for 4 minutes in the first quarter and now plays center, responsible for defense and rebound protection, while Fisher comes up to add a shooting point.

Zen Master Jackson knows that O'Neal is heavy, so he can rest for a while and be more efficient in the second half. At this time, the Lakers can also disrupt the opponent's defense by changing the offensive rhythm. They played this way in every game in the playoffs and started trying it in the regular season.

Jackson was relatively conservative and did not let George play as a guest at the 4th position, which would be faster. He also didn't use Ryan Bowen. Bowen is suitable for defensive shooting big men. The 76ers don't have this kind of forward for him to use his strengths.

After the game started, the 76ers were still slowly grinding out positions, but the Lakers turned into a fast whirlwind. As long as the opponent didn't score, they grabbed rebounds and immediately launched a quick counterattack.

As soon as the Lakers defender started running, the 76ers' inside line couldn't defend in position, and a 3v3 situation easily occurred in the backcourt.

Guo Xu advanced quickly, but Mutombo had already taken the ball without returning to the penalty area many times. Kobe began to show his strength and scored consecutive singles against Laga Bell. The gap in this position was too big.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Kobe Bryant lost to the Suns in the playoffs in 2006 and 2007, but his statistics were very good each time, and his shooting percentage was higher than in the regular season. It is not difficult for Kobe to single out Bell, even though Bell was selected to the All-Defensive Team in 2007.

The most famous story between the two was when Bell became angry and used the Choke Kung Fu on Kobe Bryant in the playoffs. This move failed to escape the referees and cameramen, nor did he blame it on Gusu Murongfu. Suspended for one game.

Now Bell is a rookie who entered the NBA without the draft and only played 5 games in the regular season. He is a fringe player who is two years older than Kobe. He is appreciated by Brown because of his good defensive attitude. He is easy to handle in positional battles. He has teammates to help defend him in the defensive system. When he counterattacks, he only defends Kobe Bryant.

Kobe had an obvious advantage, so Guo Xu took fewer shots to assist, and they cooperated very well.

4 minutes later, Larry Brown made an adjustment error and replaced Teilon with Matt Geiger who had two fouls.

Geiger, who is 213cm tall, averaged 13.5 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game in his peak season. He became a recognized hunk in the league because he broke O'Neal's thumb. Unfortunately, that was in the past. Now Geiger has become chubby due to two injuries. His weight has reached 120 kilograms, his speed is very slow, and his iron-blooded defense has long ceased to exist.

Geiger only played 35 games in the regular season this season due to injury, and his offensive and defensive statistics have seriously declined. How can a person like this who can only play center play with Mutombo?

But Larry Brown doesn't believe in young people, so he wants to play Twin Towers. It is estimated that if he is asked to coach the Chinese national team, he would also dare to let Yao Ming and Battelle play together in the Twin Towers.

Guo Xu relied on off-ball coverage to run, catch the ball and shoot, and made 2 of 3 three-pointers, widening the point difference to 30 points.

Brown realized that playing like this was not going to work, so he replaced Geiger and replaced Jumaine as a guest at the 4th position. It was too late.
