Legend of Tomorrow

Zhang Lili commented: The Cavaliers' defense is too poor. There are loopholes inside and outside. The three offensive players of the Suns all made easy shots. If Guo Xu is beaten like this, he may have double figures in assists in a single quarter.

Xu Jicheng said: When he was in the Lakers, no one knew that Guo Xu had such a strong assist ability. After he arrived in the Suns, he fully demonstrated it. Every pass was an assist. I think he will continue to win the assists title this year. No one Being able to compete with him.”

At this time, James, who was two steps away in the middle, faced Guo Xu and made a three-pointer.

Guo Xu didn't jump or reach out. James's shooting point was too high. Even if he jumped, he couldn't block it. It would be cooler to do nothing and just stare at the opponent with his Sharingan.

Under Guo Xu's powerful gaze, James exerted too much strength and the ball bounced out of the frame. Boozer grabbed the offensive rebound and relied on Stoudemire to turn around and score with a hook. 7 to 4.

When attacking, is the best response if the opponent takes two steps away and shoots directly?

If an opponent gives Guo Xu two steps, of course he will shoot directly. He can probably score 100 points in a single game, as if he was training in normal times. This is definitely not the case for James now. He has to shoot against Guo Xu for the entire game. If it’s not over, your opponent will laugh to death.

When the Suns attacked, Guo Xu played a pick-and-roll with Nene in the middle, and the two towers switched positions because Guo Xu saw that the Cavaliers were man-to-man defense.

As expected, Big Z stood relatively inside and did not dare to guard the three-point line. Guo Xu moved laterally to get rid of James, stepped back and shot a jumper from the left, and shot without interference, and the ball went hollow into the net. 10 to 4.

Guo Xu felt hot during morning training and pre-game warm-up. He knew he was going to explode today!

The Cavaliers start with all big men, and the fastest man is James. Both interior defensive ends have flaws and are very slow. Davis on the wing does not like to help defend.

When he first entered the league and joined such a team, James was so unlucky that he had to focus a lot of energy on the defensive end.

Cleveland, where the Cavaliers are located, is a famous backcountry in the United States, known as the Crown Village. Of course this is a joke. After all, Cleveland is the largest city in Ohio, but the economy is underdeveloped. BA stars prefer to choose big cities, where eating, drinking and having fun are convenient, conducive to enjoying life, and the exposure rate is also high.

What's even worse is that James has just joined the Cavaliers and is not well-liked by his teammates in the team.

Several Cavaliers players were interviewed by the media in the summer. Boozer said: We already have better players than James at the same position on our team. He (Ricky Davis) is very talented, maybe the sky is the limit. That’s his limit.”

Darius said: I don't think the team will get better after bringing in a high school player.

If he comes, he may be able to assist us very well, and I hope we can play better.

Then when the training camp started, Davis, who was praised highly by his teammates and felt great about himself, really regarded James as his younger brother, always maintaining the boss demeanor, asking James to carry water in his bag, and asking James listened to his instructions and warned James, Be careful if I let the team sell you.

Davis didn't know it yet, but he was on the management's blacklist in the preseason. There had never been a situation in NBA history where the No. 1 draft pick had to assist a cancer, and he was already counting down to leaving the team.

James dribbled the ball past half-court, and Guo Xu took two more steps to guard against breakthroughs and throws casually from mid- to long-range. He is still far away from becoming an all-around James.

In Guo Xu's previous life, ESPN compared the 76ers' No. 1 pick Simmons with James in 2017, citing data to prove that Simmons' shooting is not bad and is better than when James first entered the league.

James is a player who is not very good at outside shooting. His three-point shooting percentage has only exceeded 40% in one season in his entire career. However, his shooting percentage has been higher than 45% since the second season. His season average is above 50%. He is a person who is good at taking advantage of his physical talents and getting to the basket.

Before being guarded to death by the Kendou of the Kardashian family, Simmons' performance in his rookie season was no worse than James.

Within a distance of 3 to 10 feet, Simmons shot 41.7% and James 35.6%; within a distance of 10 to 16 feet, Simmons shot 31.6% and James 31.3%; there is no need to compare three-pointers, James 29 %, Simmons simply didn’t vote.

In short, this season, Guo Xu can let James shoot as much as he wants without any pressure. James also knew his weakness and chose to force a breakthrough. Then he was double-teamed by two people in the middle. Marion withdrew to the penalty area and let Darius go.

Darius received a pass from James and made a mid-range shot from the open space on the right. 10 to 6.

The Suns attacked, Guo Xu and Nene played a pick-and-roll in the middle, but James tried his best to pursue the defense but was still a step too slow.

The 203CM big man, no matter how fast he sprints, can't compare with the agility of a small guard, and he will be slower to get around the screen.

Big Z stood relatively outside this time. Guo Xu chose the weak side to break through with the ball. He quickly brought it to the right 45 degrees with speed, turned around and faced the frame and changed direction to the left. Between Big Z and the chasing James, Passed the ball to the center in the gap.

Nene caught the ball, took a step forward, and scored with one hand. He is still bald this year and has grown a beard, making him look even tougher. Both he and Stoudemire can assume the task of playing pick-and-roll, and the two often perform double ghosts hitting the goal!

12 to 6, Guo Xu’s fourth assist.

Boozer followed Stoudemire on the baseline and did not cover up. Boozer, who is good at attacking, always makes the coaching staff love and hate him. His lateral footwork cannot keep up with most power forwards. His height and arm length are limited, and his defensive awareness is also very poor. The team cannot count on him to cover up defense.

The Cavaliers attacked. James first broke through with the ball, attracted double teams and then distributed the ball. Bell took turns to defend Darius, who distributed the ball and assisted Davis to catch the ball and hit a three-pointer. 12 to 9.

Guo Xu played a pick-and-roll in the middle, and James bypassed Nene in time to catch up, but Stoudemire immediately made a second screen. Guo Xu came to the left baseline and made an emergency stop. Boozer was slow to change defense again. A true defensive black hole.

14 to 9, Guo Xu scored his 5th point.

When the Cavaliers attacked, Miles passed to Boozer in the high position. The latter observed the situation and passed to James who was cutting in the middle. The latter squeezed out Guo Xu and scored with one hand. Nene followed the Big Z position. Relatively outside, there is no one to cover up. 14 to 11.

Guo Xu can't defend against this kind of air cut, but it doesn't matter, he will fight back with offense.

Nene pulled out to play a pick-and-roll, and Guo Xu was caught up by James again, and the passing space in the middle was also blocked. He first passed the ball to Marion who was receiving the ball, then ran to the left corner, stood for a moment and slid along the baseline to the right. Stoudemire blocked James.

At this time, Bell, who ran 70 degrees to the right, received a pass from Marion and quickly moved to the bottom corner. Guo Xu caught the ball and shot a three-point jumper. James tried his best to pursue and failed to block it, but it interfered and the ball missed.

Zhang Lili said: James is really working hard on defense. His physical fitness is terrible. He can catch up with Guo Xu even if he is a big defender but a small one. But this is only the first time Guo Xu has missed a shot, and he has already had his chance to shoot.

Xu Jicheng said: If the whole game is so defensive, I wonder if he will still have the strength to attack well?

Zhang Lili said with a smile: I don't think James needs to think about allocating physical strength. Generally, the Suns only play three quarters against the underdogs.

As soon as he finished speaking, James faced Guo Xu and made a sudden stop near the free throw line. The rebound was grabbed by Stoudemire...
