Legend of Tomorrow

Adelman adjusted the lineup, replaced Divac and replaced Keon Clark, which enhanced the mobility inside.

This is a timely adjustment. The Suns have too much inside speed advantage and cannot guard against it without substitutions. Clark is 211cm tall, has a wingspan of 226cm, and weighs 100 kilograms. He is a player with poor confrontation, amazing speed and jumping, and is good at blocking shots.

With the Raptors last season's outstanding performance of 11.3 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.5 blocks, the Kings gave Clark a two-year, $10 million contract. However, Clark, who is naturally lazy, has declined a lot this year and has lived a carefree life. He was a heavy drinker during his school days and would even give himself two glasses of wine in the players' lounge.

The Suns made no substitutions and continued to focus on counterattacks, supplemented by positional battles and pick-and-rolls.

Jackson passed the ball to Peja, who took a three-threat stance on the right, took a step back and made an emergency jump shot, avoiding Marion's block and scoring the ball. 13 to 8.

When the Suns attacked, Guo Xu played a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire in the middle and broke through from the left. The Kings players immediately felt uncomfortable because the left side was the weak side and the wing players could not help double-team.

Guo Xu had previously averaged 24 points per game despite being frequently double-teamed by his opponents. He just relied on dribbling to the weak side to open up a distance and get a one-on-one opportunity. As long as the opponent double-teams, the teammate responsible for the pick-and-roll in the middle will have an obvious gap. . In the past, the Suns were still able to pick up misses from the two inside baskets, and the opponent could not double-team Guo Xu all the time.

Weber changed defense, Guo Xu dribbled the ball toward the baseline, made an emergency stop at the right time, and changed the direction of the ball with his left hand facing the frame to 45 degrees. Jackson caught up, and Guo Xu pulled the ball between the two and passed it to the middle.

Stoudemire rushed up, caught the ball and made another Strike Huashan move. Weber turned around and couldn't defend in time, and Clark didn't make up the defense. It's not that they didn't work hard, but that this thing really couldn't be blocked.

When it comes to comparing action and creativity in a dunk contest, Stoudemire is not as good as Vince Carter and Jason Richardson. But he is the same type as the future Little Emperor James. He is particularly good at dunking in actual combat and integrates dunking into the game environment. Not to mention the Kings' insiders, Duncan and Garnett couldn't do anything about his move.

15 to 8, Guo Xu’s sixth assist.

The Kings players are a little crazy, especially Webber. He is the league's top star power forward. Today, the rookie he faced continued dunks. How can he bear this?

Weber took a step with the ball frame in the middle, Stoudemire kept his distance, Weber took a step again, Stoudemire swayed and raised his center of gravity, Weber immediately broke through with the ball and scored a layup. 15 to 10.

Nene failed to make up for the defense in time, and lacked awareness of assisting defense when he first entered the league. Clark has no range to miss;

But no one told Nene this, so he wouldn't do it. His English is poor, and when he looks at his opponent's information, he gets a headache just by looking at the English on the paper.

When the Suns attacked, Guo Xu played a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire again in the middle, holding the ball and walking to the left. Weber blocked it for a while and then returned to his position to defend Stoudemire who was cutting in the air. It was impossible for Stoudemire to catch the ball easily.

Guo Xu opened up the space on the left side at a 45-degree angle. He dribbled under his crotch and redirected his left hand to the right. With a low center of gravity, he hit the ball even lower. He used his speed to get past Jackson who was chasing him. He made an emergency stop jumper from the corner and made a solid hit. A two-pointer.

Jackson's pursuit was inertial and he couldn't keep up with Guo Xu's change of direction. His speed was already at a disadvantage.

17 to 10, Guo Xu scored the first two points.

Horvath explained: The Suns scored all five points. If Guo Xu was not double-teamed, he would have had a chance in singles. The Suns' offense was so beautiful today.

Woodson said: I think of the Lakers last season. Their offense was unstoppable and they averaged close to 120 points per game. This is directly related to Guo Xu. As soon as he left the Lakers' No. 1 position, it was over and he never saw sharp breakthroughs again. And a perfect pick-and-roll.

The unlucky Fisher once again took advantage of the situation. Whenever a Lakers game is broadcast live now, the commentator will definitely take advantage of Fisher.

What kind of experience is this? Dozens of countries, dozens of languages, and hundreds of television stations around the world have compared Fisher and Guo Xu in all aspects, and have come to the unanimous conclusion that Fisher is a loser who can only catch and shoot, and even more so. Don't move the substitute.

When the Kings attacked, Jackson brought the ball to the frontcourt and was passed by Guo Xu. His teammates almost made a mistake after passing the ball twice.

After the substitution, the Kings players were not able to share the ball so smoothly. Clark's organizational ability was far inferior to the ghost hand Divac who averaged 3.5 assists per game. Clark singled out Nene and turned around to hook, but missed due to interference.

Nene is 211CM tall and has a wingspan of 224CM, and his hook hand can still interfere. He is stronger than Clark, and his body leans sharply when resisting the opponent's hook.

As soon as he entered the league, Nene showed his defensive talent, and his defensive performance was better than Stoudemire.

In Guo Xu's previous life, what many fans didn't know was that Nene's defensive ability was actually better than Camby's. The latter only had a few statistics and was not active in switching defenses. He only wanted to grab rebounds. His single defense was often beaten, and he could only help block shots. Can.

The year Camby won the Defensive Player of the Year, the Nuggets' defensive efficiency ranked among the bottom three in the league. The other two teams were the Suns and Warriors.

The reporters in charge of the selection ignored this and gave Camby the award after looking at his beautiful data of 11.7 rebounds and 3.3 blocks per game. In fact, Camby was completely destroyed by Duncan in the playoffs.

Later, Camby left, the Nuggets traded for Billups, and the center became the comeback Nene. Then, the Nuggets' defensive efficiency went from the bottom three to 14th in the league. However, Nene has never been labeled a defensive player. In the playoffs Nuggets VS Lakers, Nene and Martin successfully restricted the Lakers inside in many games. If it weren't for Ariza's several key steals, the Nuggets would have gone further.

Marion grabbed the rebound, and the three Suns quickly went down. Guo Xu advanced to the frontcourt. Seeing that Stoudemire was being followed, he didn't pass the ball in a hurry. He dribbled the ball toward Jackson. When he was about to collide, he slapped the ball with his left hand and passed it to his right hand. A drastic change of direction in the middle was successful.

Jackson is a player who tends to play the 2 position, much like David Wesley. He is very strong. Although he is at a disadvantage at the 2nd position with his height of 185cm, he can entangle his opponent very well. It is more difficult to defend the 1st position.

He faced Guo Xu too many times in the past two years, 4 games in the regular season, and again in the playoffs. He was shadowed, and he felt a little panicked when he saw Guo Xu.

Christie let go of Joe Johnson to cover up the defense. Guo Xu made an emergency stop while running and passed the ball from behind with his left hand to the right corner.

Joe Johnson ran to catch the ball, took a wide open shot, and hit the net!

20 to 10, Guo Xu’s seventh assist.

The Kings attacked, and after passing the ball several times, Peja singled out Marion for a jumper. He was the team's second-leading scorer after Webb. Facing Marion, who had an unusually long arm, it was difficult for a shooting player like him to perform.

Nene grabbed the backcourt rebound, and the Suns' counterattack came immediately.

Guo Xu passed the ball across half court to Joe Johnson. The latter was much stronger than Christie, who was 198cm tall and weighed 91kg. He relied on people to drive inside and forced a layup that missed due to interference. This was the first time the Suns had started the game. Missed a shot. Before the attack was over, Marion rushed up to grab the offensive rebound and passed it out to the outside.

Guo Xu didn't pause after receiving the ball, and passed both hands to Nene who ran to the low post on the left. Nene hit the 100kg Clark with the ball in the penalty area, turned around and pulled it out for a one-handed dunk!

22 to 10, Guo Xu’s eighth assist.

The Suns home fans stood up and applauded. The applause lasted for a long time. The Suns played so beautifully today!
