Legend of Tomorrow

O'Neal has always been a very willful person, and his thinking is different from normal people.

He does whatever comes to his mind, often without considering the consequences. He now owns more than 50 luxury cars, and they are all world-famous cars. He buys them if he likes them, and some of them are not driven at all and are kept in the garage for collection. At most, he spent more than 9 million US dollars in one day. This way of spending money is staggering.

Now, O'Neal plans to let Guo Xu play and not switch defenders throughout the game. Doesn't Kobe take the most shots on the team? Does he want to take on more responsibilities and become the boss? Let's see if he can guard against Guo Xu.

Looking at the statistics after the game, no matter how many points Guo Xu scored, people would not blame O'Neal as the main reason for poor defense, because he did not play against Guo Xu.

O'Neal only needs to deal with the opposing interior rookies. The rookies he cares about most this year are Stoudemire and Yao Ming. The media were doing publicity before the game, and they all wanted to see how Stoudemire would perform against O'Neal, so O'Neal would never let Stoudemire score easily.

The Lakers attacked, and the ball was passed to O'Neal. No one helped Stoudemire double-team. O'Neal leaned toward the baseline, turned around, jumped up and dunked with one hand. 3 to 5.

Stoudemire's defense is not his strong point. If he is allowed to defend the big shark alone, the little bully can only become the king of dunks.

This situation is prone to happen when D'Antoni is a coach. Like Nelson, he only focuses on offense and rarely uses his brain on defense. In fact, it will be better for the Suns to let Nene start on defense today. He is stronger than Stoudemire.

Kenny Smith commented: The lineups of both sides compete with each other, and the attack will look good.

Barkley said: Playing like this will fall into the rhythm of the Suns. The Suns are all about attacking to win. This is what they have been doing since changing coaches.

When the Suns attacked, Stoudemire provided a screen for Guo Xu from outside the three-point line. Guo Xu made an emergency stop while holding the ball. He raised the ball to the right and feinted. Kobe flew up from the side and missed. Guo Xu will The ball was passed to Joe Johnson who ran to 60 degrees.

Kobe knew that Fisher was slow to pursue and defend, so he chose to help defend. After being a teammate for two years, Guo Xu certainly understands Kobe's style and knows that he can help defend.

Guo Xu was open after one point, and Fox followed Kirisek in the bottom corner without making any more defense. Kirisek rarely played when he was with the Grizzlies. After joining the Suns, he averaged 1.5 three-pointers per game and hit 50%, proving his strength.

Joe Johnson is not a fuel-saving lamp on the outside. He has a textbook shooting posture and the ball hits the net hollowly!

6 to 5, Guo Xu made the first assist.

In Guo Xu’s previous life,

Joe Johnson has only played off the ball for two seasons in his career.

His first time was in the 2004-05 season. After Nash joined the Suns, he was the team's fourth scoring point. He rarely attacked with the ball. He usually shot after catching the ball. His three-point shooting rate in the regular season was 47.8%. The point shooting rate is 55.6%.

His second time was in the 2013-14 season, when the Nets assembled a Big Five lineup of Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Pierce, Garnett, and Brook Lopez.

The ball was controlled by Deron and Pierce most of the time. Joe Johnson became a real thigh when playing without the ball. In the regular season, he shot 40.1% from three-point range. He performed even better in the playoffs, playing in 12 games, scoring 21.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 39.2 minutes, shooting 53.3% from the field and 41.5% from the three-point range.

Although Joe Johnson's nickname is Isolation Joe, in fact, when he is the core of the Hawks, he is far less efficient than cooperating with other stars and playing without the ball. The Suns switched to running and gunning, and Joe Johnson broke out early. Currently, his three-point shooting percentage is 39.3%, averaging 2 goals per game.

The Lakers attacked and O'Neal asked for the ball in the low post. This time Kobe didn't pass it.

Kobe chose to challenge Joe Johnson with the ball in order to return the favor. He couldn't tolerate the second-year rookie acting arrogantly and coolly in front of him.

Arrogant was something Kobe came up with. In fact, Joe Johnson's character can never be arrogant. He is a very introverted person, a faceless person who doesn't like to talk, and he doesn't celebrate after scoring a goal.

Not only does he have a quiet personality, but his playing style is also very quiet. Isn’t that cool? It seems a little bit.

Kobe took the ball on the right side and stepped outside the three-point line. He suddenly made a three-pointer. Under the interference of Joe Johnson, the shot was too simple. He is not good if he is not simple. He is easily double-teamed near the penalty area. Many teams will leave Fox and Samaki open...

Marion grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed it to Guo Xu, and the Suns quickly counterattacked.

Guo Xu dribbled the ball from behind to his right hand while running, changed direction to the middle, and passed Fisher with his speed. Fisher didn't dare to commit a foul. The Lakers lacked a point guard. If he got into foul trouble, he wouldn't be able to play.

Guo Xu made a pass and went straight to the basket from the middle. Kobe Bryant covered up the defense. Guo Xu took advantage of the situation and distributed the ball. Joe Johnson followed up with a civilian on the left and scored.

8 to 5, Guo Xu got his second assist.

When returning to defense, Joe Johnson applauded Guo Xu twice with an expressionless face.

Guo Xu sighed in his heart, loving and hating this person at the same time. In the passionate Suns team, Joe Johnson was an absolute alternative. He belonged to the type who could not jump without jumping. This was also the case in training. Even if he is wide open, he will not perform a dunk.

Of course, even if he dunks, it's not pretty. At most, it's just a civilian layup that turns into a civilian dunk. There's no beauty at all. Because of this, he has the fewest injuries among the Ironmen who played about 40 minutes.

When the Lakers attacked, Kobe held the ball and beat Joe Johnson in isolation, took a step inside the three-point line and made a sudden jumper, and hit the iron again.

O'Neal squeezed Stoudemire under the basket so badly that the cameras couldn't even capture it. Stoudemire was completely trapped in a pile of flesh, but O'Neal didn't receive the pass.

Kobe can be selfless as long as he doesn't compete with others. Joe Johnson scored 5 points in a row to stimulate him. In the next game, he will probably be stimulated by someone else.

Marion grabbed a backcourt rebound and passed it to Guo Xu. Guo Xu advanced to the three-point line in three seconds. Fisher was knocked half of his body away by his change of direction and could only follow from the side. This time, no one was on guard. Guo Xu drove straight into the middle and scored a quick layup. Fisher was a step too slow to block the shot.

10 to 5, Guo Xu scored his fifth personal point.

The Lakers attacked, and just after Fisher took the ball halfway, Guo Xu suddenly stepped forward to press. In order not to return to the court and violate the law, Fisher forced the ball forward. Guo Xu quickly blocked the dribbling route with quick eyes and hands, and stabbed the basketball with his left hand.

The ball was pushed forward. Guo Xu and Fisher competed in running. They sprinted and picked up the basketball. They took two steps away and jumped a distance. They jumped up and dunked the basketball with both hands.

12 to 5, personal 7th point.

TV5 commentator Zhang Lili was excited. No, Guo Xu, okay, play with him!

Xu Jicheng said: Before the start of the season, Guo Xu said that he considered himself the number one point guard in the league, which caused a lot of controversy. Now it seems that he is really the number one point guard in the NBA, and his personal ability is too strong.

Zhang Liji said with a smile: In the first two seasons, we tried our best to overestimate Guo Xu, but in the end we found that he was still underestimated. He scored consecutively in the opening game and assisted two teammates. It's really amazing.

When the Lakers attacked, Fisher brought the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to Fox, who lobbed the ball to O'Neal on the left but not to Kobe.

O'Neal looked at Fisher with a very dissatisfied look and shouted at him. Fisher suspected that if he gave it to Kobe again, O'Neal would hit himself in the locker room.

O'Neal relied on Stoudemire to turn and hook in the middle, and easily hit two points from close range. 12 to 7.

The home fans applauded. O'Brien's offensive efficiency is always the highest among the Lakers.
