Legend of Tomorrow

The Suns attacked, Guo Xu and Stoudemire played a pick-and-roll, Samaki-Walker changed defense, and Guo Xu immediately transferred the ball to Marion, who ran 70 degrees to the left.

Power forward Samaki defended the pick-and-roll, which meant that O'Neal's winner defended Marion, which was an obvious mismatch. Unfortunately, Marion missed an open jumper and missed a three-pointer, and O'Neal grabbed the rebound.

The Lakers cooperated in the battle. Fisher relied on Samaki to run without the ball on the left side and received a pass from Fox. Guo Xu was a little slow in pursuit, and Fisher hit a three-point jumper. 12 to 10.

When the Suns attacked, Guo Xu attracted Samaki to guard the pick-and-roll and passed to Marion. The Hacker missed another three-point jumper and O'Neal grabbed the rebound.

The Lakers attacked, and Fox lobbed the ball to Samaki, who singled out Marion in the low post and turned around to shoot. It is very difficult for Marion to defend the power forward. He weighs only 100 kilograms. 12 to 12.

Guo Xu made an adjustment and waved Stoudemire into the low post. After his teammates pulled away, he directly singled out Fisher with the ball.

Fisher was immediately under a lot of pressure. Last season, the two often dueled each other. Guo Xu could shoot in a hundred ways, but he was helpless.

Guo Xu dribbled the ball from his crotch to his left hand, swayed his left shoulder, quickly changed direction to the right, easily passed the slower-moving Fisher with speed, and made an emergency stop near the free throw line for a jumper.

His shooting speed was very fast. On the surface, it looked like Fisher jumped up from the side to block the shot. In fact, it was just a slight interference. The ball flew towards the basket, and Fisher's hand reached in front of Guo Xu.

The ball went hollow into the net, 14 to 12, and Guo Xu scored his 9th point.

When the Lakers attacked, Kobe caught the ball and played in singles. He took a three-threat stance on the right side of the three-point line. He stepped forward and broke through the baseline, attracting Joe Johnson to move laterally. He dribbled behind his right hand and handed over his left hand to hit a step-back jumper. 14 to 14.

Joe Johnson was completely shaken away. Kobe's ability to change direction with the ball is also top-notch in the league, and combined with his shooting, it is very difficult to defend.

Zhang Lili said: The stars on both sides started to score points. Let's see if Guo Xu can return one, and we started a one-on-one challenge with Fisher again.

Guo Xu made the same move as before, dribbling the ball from his hip to his left hand outside the three-point line. Fisher concentrated on it, lowering his center of gravity and waiting for him to break through. As a result, Guo Xu directly took a step back and shot a three-pointer from the left. Fisher Er jumped up to block the shot a step too late.

Guo Xu was very well prepared, the arc was perfect, and the ball hit the net hollowly.

17 to 14, personal 12th point.

Lakers offense,

Kobe singled out Joe Johnson, took the ball in the middle and broke through to the left corner to make an emergency jumper. Joe Johnson and Marion double-teamed and jumped to interfere. The defense was in place, but Kobe still made the shot, and his shot was very determined. 17 to 16.

When Kobe scores a goal like this, Lakers fans are happy, but O'Neal will be angry. Because if Guo Xu is here, he will definitely pass to his teammates if he attracts a double team. Samaki is already empty at the bottom line, a very simple opportunity.

When the Suns attacked, Guo Xu challenged Fisher again. He dribbled the ball from his crotch to his left hand and changed direction to the right. Fisher followed. Guo Xu dribbled the ball behind his right hand and passed it to his left hand. He retreated and held the ball with his left hand. , the right hand moves closer.

Fisher hurriedly took a step forward, worried that he would step back and shoot a jumper. As a result, Guo Xu made a fake move of worshiping to Buddha, holding the ball with his left hand, then changed direction to the right and entered the three-point line, completely passing Fisher, high post A one-step jump shot.

This position is the most difficult to double-team. Regardless of man-to-man tactics or zone defense, a double-team on the flank will definitely create an opening. The only one who could double-team was Samaki, who was drawn to the baseline by Marion, too far away.

Guo Xu's shot was very easy and hit the net empty. 19 to 16, personal 14th point.

Xu Jicheng said: Guo Xu hit Fisher several times in a row. The Lakers have to replace someone to defend him. Why don't they use Kobe?

Zhang Liji smiled and said: Maybe you know that you can't guard against Kobe. In 2001, the two of them had a duel on the Great Wall. Guo Xu was as good as Kobe at that time, and no one could guard against the other. It is said that Kobe I gained weight in the summer, so it may be a little difficult to prevent breakthroughs.”

When Kobe first entered the NBA, he weighed about 87 kilograms. He was very fast and could guard the point guard, but his confrontation was poor and his offense was to avoid attacks. Before the 2002 offseason, he weighed 90 kilograms. In the summer, in order to strengthen his back attack, he gained 7 kilograms, reaching 97 kilograms.

After gaining weight, Kobe performed better when playing against swingmen in the low post, and his three-pointers were also better than last season. However, what followed was a decrease in speed. He was 10 kilograms heavier than when he first entered the league, and his lateral speed was Slowing down is inevitable.

Kobe was also very conflicted on the court. He couldn't decide whether to guard Guo Xu. Fisher would definitely be unable to guard him, but if he was unable to guard him, there might be news after the game saying that he was beaten.

Fox lobbed the ball to O'Neal, who singled out Stoudemire for two hard tops, attracting Marion to double-team and distribute the ball. Samaki's open shot missed the basket. O'Neal grabbed an offensive rebound and passed the ball directly to the outside. Fox made another hit in the mid-range shot. This time the rebound was passed out by Stoudemire.

O'Neal occupies too much area under the basket, and it is difficult for both Suns to get backcourt rebounds.

Kirisek picked up the rebound, turned around and passed Fox to start a fast break. Marion sprinted out and got rid of Samaki, who was not slow at position 4, forming a 3-on-2 in the frontcourt.

Kirisek passed the ball to Marion, who dunked the ball with both hands in the middle. The Lakers' penalty area was empty. Kobe and Fisher followed their respective players without covering up. They were afraid of turning a 2-pointer into a 3-pointer. 21 to 16.

When the Lakers attacked, Kobe broke through to attract double-teams and distributed the ball. Samaki made a mistake in catching the ball at the baseline. He was not sure and directly touched the baseline, giving away the ball.

Zen Master Jackson shook his head slightly on the sidelines. The Lakers' No. 4 position now has a fatal weakness. How can they face the Suns, Mavericks, Spurs, and Kings in the playoffs?

When the Suns attacked, Guo Xu dribbled to the frontcourt, and his defender became Kobe, while Fisher defended Kirisek.

Guo Xu passed the ball to Joe Johnson, and he ran to the right corner. Stoudemire had no ball cover on the side. Guo Xu ran 70 degrees to the right and received the return pass. Kobe Bryant was in place to pursue the ball.

Guo Xu made a breakthrough with the ball after feinting, dribbling the ball to his right hand from his crotch and changing direction to the left. Kobe did not stumble and followed up again.

Guo Xu dribbled the ball from behind to his right hand while moving. He reached the corner. Kobe just stopped and took a small step laterally. Guo Xu pulled the ball up with his right hand while running. He took the ball with both hands and performed a European step. One step and Kobe Bryant Passed by, took the second step into the penalty area, and threw in the middle before O'Neal came up to defend.

Guo Xu's rhythm was perfect, the ball flew towards the basket and entered the net hollowly.

23 to 16, personal 16th point.

Zhang Lili shouted: Beautiful, and relying on personal ability in singles. Guo Xu's breakthrough is so powerful that Kobe can't guard him. If he doesn't double-team, he will go up alone. He really scores!

Xu Jicheng said: The Suns' opening shooting percentage was too high. Guo Xu made all his shots. I don't know how many points we will score today.

Zhang Lijia smiled and said: It depends on how many quarters the Lakers can last. It will probably be 60+ in the fourth quarter. It may not be too high in the third quarter. This was the case with the 76ers.

If the coach of another team had called a timeout at this time, Zen Master Jackson would have watched the players play casually.

He had a bit of a bad taste in his heart, wondering how Jerry Buss and Jim Buss felt now. Back then, he, Jenny, and Kupchak all proposed sending Kobe away and keeping Guo Xu, but they were rejected.

If Guo Xu breaks out today and leads the team to win, the boss will definitely regret it.
