Legend of Tomorrow

Iverson saw Guo Xu blocking his way after falling to the ground, and immediately had an idea.

If I look down at him and step across his legs, will I give him a blow and make him look like a hero? No, this is more like a regicide, proudly returning to his own territory.

As a result, as soon as Iverson raised one leg, he saw Guo Xu on the ground exerting force on his back, standing up with his hands on the ground and doing a beautiful back handspring. His right foot almost kicked Iverson in the face, which shocked him. He jumped.

It was so dangerous, but luckily I walked a little slower. Iverson thought.

Guo Xu also shouted in his heart, It's so dangerous. He almost played out the most classic story of Lu Yuanwai. Fortunately, he reacted quickly.

When the Lakers attacked, Guo Xu first passed the ball to Kobe in the middle. He stood at 50 degrees on the right side and suddenly cut inside. O'Neal took a step outside the corner to block Iverson. Guo Xu got rid of the ball and passed Mutombo with speed, and scored with a basket on the right side. 2 to 2.

Except for power forwards like Kevin Garnett and Rasheed Wallace who are lighter in weight and have super athletic ability, big men are generally afraid of defenders cutting because they turn too slowly and must have good movement skills. Only the sense of distance can keep up with the speed of the defender.

Mutombo is 218cm tall, and his straight-line acceleration is okay. After losing weight, his lateral speed is also acceptable. Once the defender gets rid of him and turns around to pursue him, he will definitely not be able to catch up.

Guo Xu has read Aimi's comments on the Internet, but he will still look for pick-and-rolls to pursue simple goals, because it would be too stupid not to do so, and he can't even pass this level in his mind.

Let the people who hate him on the Internet say whatever they want. Even if he defeats Iverson in a one-on-one, the people who hate him can still say: If you have the ability, you can shoot against double teams. What is your ability in one-on-one?

The 76ers attacked, Iverson and Mutombo played a pick-and-roll, O'Neal switched defenses and Guo Xu double-teamed, Mutombo was left open, Grant also tightened his defense, and a siege formed in front of the free throw line.

Iverson distributed the ball, and Teilon provided McGee with an off-ball screen to block Fisher. McGee caught the ball and made a mid-range shot. 2 to 4.

The Lakers attacked and repeated the routine just now. Guo Xu relied on a screen to get rid of Iverson to catch the ball. When he was about to meet Mutombo in the corner, he turned with a long stride, passed the passer and entered the basket, and scored with his left hand. . 4 to 4.

Zhang Lijia shouted: Beautiful, Guo Xu beat Mutombo twice in the opening game. He still dared to play against the best defensive player. He didn't have stage fright at all.

Xu Jicheng said: The boos from Philadelphia fans are useless. He really has a big heart and is born for big scenes.

The 76ers players, who were encouraged at home, also performed well.

Jumaine Jones relied on a screen to run without the ball to get rid of Kobe, and received a pass from McGee in the bottom corner and hit a three-pointer. He finally had some effect, although the way he scored was a three-pointer that the coach didn't like. 4 to 7.

Kobe was unhappy when he saw the rookie's shot. He received a pass from Guo Xu on the right, faced Zhu Mainin's step and made a three-pointer in return. 7 to 7, Guo Xu had an assist.

Iverson attacked and challenged Guo Xu to dribble under his crotch and change direction to make a jump shot. He avoided the block and hit the iron, but O'Neal grabbed the rebound.

Iverson always has a way to create mobile opportunities. Even if Guo Xu can keep up with his speed, he can only interfere as much as possible. It is difficult to block shots. If he shoots accurately, it will be really amazing.

It's a pity that his shooting has never been stable. Often when playing against the guard he is playing against, he feels that he can't guard him, and even wants to die from being beaten by him. When I look at the technical statistics after the game, holy shit, it turns out that I So well defended? !

There was back and forth between the two sides. Iverson also worked very hard when guarding Guo Xu, preventing him from easily getting a shot. Guo Xu hit a three-pointer. He doesn't have to shoot, he catches the ball and distributes it, assists Kobe and O'Neal to score, and before he knows it, he has three assists.

Iverson succeeded in the mid-range shot at 5 minutes and 56 seconds, and the score was 14 to 15. The 76ers had a good offense today and led by 1 point at the halfway point.

Guo Xu began to show off his power. He took the ball to the frontcourt and took a look at Kobe. Instead of passing the ball and running around to find opportunities as usual, he suddenly retreated towards Iverson and hit a three-pointer under interference. 17 to 15.

The 76ers' position battle passed several times. McGee singled out Fisher and missed the shot. O'Neal grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to start a fast break. Kobe attacked with the ball, but was interfered by Jumaine and missed. Grant grabbed the offensive rebound. The ball was passed to Guo Xu from the outside.

Guo Xu raised the ball with both hands at a 50-degree angle on the right side and feinted, shaking Iverson up. Then he retreated to his favorite 70-degree jumper three-pointer and hit the net hollowly. 20 to 15, personal 10th point.

Then Guo Xu kept running, consuming Iverson's energy. Iverson followed him and passed to O'Neal and Kobe, waiting for the next opportunity, and he played with ease.

At one and a half minutes, Guo Xu got another good scoring opportunity. Iverson broke into the penalty area and missed a layup due to interference from the big man. O'Neal grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to launch a counterattack. Kobe scored the ball and Guo Xu sprinted away in a straight line. Mutombo dunked the basketball with both hands on a single fast break, his 12th point.

In the Lakers' last attack in the first quarter, Guo Xu accurately timed the one-on-one. After changing direction and making an emergency stop, he did not take action immediately. This caused Iverson to shake up and jump forward, causing a foul. He pushed the ball to the basket with one hand. He was in great condition, the ball hit the target, and the referee whistled 2+1.

This kind of obvious foul caused by shaking, whether it is the star whistle or the home whistle, the referee cannot turn a blind eye.

Guo Xu made an additional free throw and scored 15 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists in a single quarter, beating Iverson who had 8 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist. The Lakers lead 33 to 25.

In the second quarter, Guo Xu and O'Neal took a break, and Zen Master asked Kobe and Fisher to partner on the outside. This was done to maximize the offensive power of the two outside players.

However, Kobe and Fisher didn't feel very good. They kept hitting the iron, and the 76ers took the opportunity to go ahead by 1 point. Philadelphia fans were very happy, and the atmosphere at home became more and more enthusiastic.

Trailing 0 to 2, the 76ers will not surrender. Not abandoning and not giving up is their spirit. They want to attack the enemy's defense like soldiers.

Within 5 minutes, Jackson replaced O'Neal and Guo Xu, immediately stabilizing the situation.

Guo Xu and O'Neal played a pick-and-roll, focusing on misplaced breakthroughs and supplemented by outside shooting. They quickly hit a 15-4 wave, widening the point difference to 10 points.

Guo Xu made 3 of 4 shots in the second quarter, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and scored 7 points and 2 assists. He had 22 points and 5 assists in the half. His statistics were the same as when he played the whole game. O'Neal scored 6 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. His assist statistics were not bad either, with 12 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks. He seemed to be aiming for a triple-double again.

The Lakers lead 65 to 55. At halftime, many experts predicted that the 76ers might not be able to withstand the game in the second half. Mutombo was not good at guarding pick-and-rolls, and he was running out of energy.

It's no wonder Mutombo has strength. He averaged 42 minutes per game in the playoffs and played two tiebreakers in the Eastern Conference. This was his 21st playoff game. He has to guard O'Neal and guards in pick-and-roll situations. On the offensive end, he also has to share Iverson's offensive pressure. The team has the heaviest task.

Other teams mainly train newcomers, while the 76ers train veterans. Larry Brown wants to train the veterans to have a second spring.

The 76ers are so different. It is too difficult for an uncle to be used as a savior and an iron man. The worst thing is that Uncle Mu is not yet the core, and the evaluation he received for breaking his legs may be a hindrance to the single core...
