Legend of Tomorrow

Guo Xu didn't meet Kobe for dinner, and he hadn't chatted online for a long time. The relationship between the OK Group broke up, and of course he chose to side with O'Neal, who was more compatible with his personality. Even when he was with the Lakers, he and Kobe went out very rarely. Their lifestyles were very different.

If O'Neal had left and Guo Xu had stayed in the Lakers to form a double perimeter team with Kobe, sooner or later there would have been conflicts. Apart from anything else, if he makes a movie in the summer, Kobe may be interviewed to criticize him for not doing his job properly. Kobe liked to use his own rules to restrict others, as if it was wrong for others to do things differently than he thought.

Many people have this kind of personality when they were young. They always do stupid things that they think are kind and want to help others reshape their lives, but in the end they find that it is themselves who need to reshape their lives.

Kobe's character is something that most people would have seen in their second year of junior high school...

That night, the highlight of the national live broadcast, Lakers VS Suns, will be staged, and China's CCTV5 will also broadcast the game live.

During the warm-up, the two commentators talked about the Rockets and Yao Ming.

In the game that just ended, the Rockets lost to the Grizzlies 71-90, once again disappointing Rockets fans. This year the team added Jim Jackson. Many people thought that the Rockets' strength had been greatly improved, but it turned out that was not the case at all.

Just because new coach Jeff Van Gundy started Yao Ming and Cato together, the Rockets lineup has serious flaws.

Even if Yao Ming pulls out to play a pick-and-roll with the defender, the Rockets cannot completely clear the basket, which makes their offense extremely difficult. Because Cato, who can also only play center, starts at the 4th position and has almost no offensive power. If he is pulled out, the opponent can let him go, and just have someone follow him in the low post. Only when the opponent double-teams the defender can Cato miss the chance to score.

What kind of trash is this? There are actually many people in the American media who are bragging about Cato, saying that he is very tough and his role in the Rockets cannot be reflected by statistics. He protected Yao Ming very well.

Protect your claws. During the team training, Yao Ming and Cato were duel, and the defensive cover made this guy want to die. Just looking at the ability to defend the penalty area, Yao Ming is much better than Cato. What the Rockets lack is a power forward who can defend pick-and-rolls, has strong mobility, and can pull out to shoot.

Van Gundy's use of two heavy inside men to form twin towers is quite imaginative, which is simply good news for his opponents. Now many Chinese fans who support the Rockets don't really want to watch the Rockets beat the Suns, and hope that the two teams will meet later.

Before coming off the court, Zen Master Phil Jackson emphasized the triangle offense, allowing O'Neal and Payton to play more. He also talked to Kobe Bryant alone and told him to pass the ball more and shoot three-pointers from the outside when he had the opportunity, but try not to force the shot in front of others.

Last season, Kobe took more outside shots.

The three-point shooting percentage reached the peak of his career at 38.3%. In January, he made 12 three-pointers in one game, tying Guo Xu's single-game three-point record. However, this does not mean that Kobe can compete with Guo Xu three times. He is very unstable outside the three-point line. He can kill the opponent when his hands are hot and kill the Lakers when his hands are cold.

On the Suns' side, D'Antoni's offensive tactics were very simple, which was to use running and gunning to counterattack and use speed to wear down the Lakers' two star insiders.

Suns Five: Guo Xu, Laga Bell, Marion, Stoudemire, Diop.

Lakers five: Payton, Kobe, Devin George, Malone, O'Neal.

As soon as he saw Diop on the stage, O'Neal knew that Guo Xu had not deceived him. This big man could indeed compete with him. His height and weight were there. Although his arms were not too thick, his shoulders were very broad.

People discuss a player's physical condition, but few focus on shoulder width. In fact, the shoulder width of the inside players is very important, because the shoulder width means that the players can occupy a larger area and be more comfortable in blocking positions, controlling positions, blocking people and grabbing rebounds. No matter how tall or short O'Neal, Duncan, Malone, Brand and others are, their ability to block positions is related to their shoulder width.

On the contrary, if a big player only has a wingspan and narrow shoulders, then it may be better for him to take Durant's path. He will suffer from blocking, rebounding, and defense, and it will be difficult for him to become an excellent inside man.

Zhang Lili commented: Today the Suns did not use a small lineup at the beginning. They paid attention to defense as much as when they played the Spurs and deployed blue collars.

Xu Jicheng said: Joe Johnson continues to be a substitute. It's not that his personal ability is not as good as Bell's, but that playing like this can make the Suns' rotation lineup stronger and have a backbone in the offense.

Against the Cavaliers, Joe Johnson didn't play in the first half of the second quarter. It was a bit messy to rely solely on rookie Blake to organize the Suns' offense. D'Antoni won't make this kind of personnel mistake again today. Every lineup must have someone who is good at holding the ball and attacking. People lead.

O'Neal won the jump ball and the game was on.

Payton controlled the ball and organized, and Guo Xu stepped forward to defend closely. Glove is not the kind of player who can take two steps casually.

Last season, Payton averaged 20.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game, shooting 45.4% from the field, only 29.7% from three-point range, and 71% from the free throw line.

Payton held the ball and played a pick-and-roll with Karl Malone in the middle. He got rid of Guo Xu and attracted Stoudemire to change defense and then distributed the ball to the middle. Malone took the ball and cut in the air. Even though he was old, Guo Xu couldn't resist those muscles like a bodybuilder.

Malone reached the basket and was resisted by Diop, but he is not a player who only knows how to play hard. He has averaged more than 4 assists per game in many seasons in his career, and he can still win the regular season MVP at the age of 36.

He leaned on Diop and passed the ball from his side to the right basket with one hand. Diop didn't even see how he passed the ball, so naturally he wouldn't turn around to defend. O'Neal caught the ball and dunked the ball with both hands. 0 to 2.

The Suns attack and the players spread out. Diop stood in the low post on the left to attract defense. Guo Xu played pick-and-roll with Stoudemire in the middle. The same tactic was more difficult for the Lakers to defend. Payton is now 35 years old and will be 36 after this season. He has declined the most. The term is speed.

Guo Xu changed direction and went to the right side. Here was Bell, who only had the corner on the weak side. Malone switched to guard to block his breakthrough route. Payton chased and formed a double team. Guo Xu hit the ball to the ground between the two. Stoudemire in the middle.

Stoudemire was unguarded in the high post and hit the mid-range shot steadily. 2 to 2.

When returning to defense, Stoudemire and Guo Xu clapped their hands. If this attack last season was 80% blocked, it would be because Stoudemire was not accurate in the mid-range shot. If he made an air cut, O'Neal would be waiting for him near the penalty area. Stoudemire's ability to attract defenders and then distribute the ball was relatively poor, and he could rarely transfer it in time. Give it to teammates who have a chance.

At present, Stoudemire's support ability is still average, but if he masters the mid-range shot, he won't have to rush to the basket to challenge O'Neal. He personally also realized the benefits of scoring jump shots. It is simple and effortless, and the distance can help Guo Xu create one-on-one opportunities.

The Lakers attacked, and Payton played a pick-and-roll again. This time Guo Xu paid attention to the movements from the side, retreated first, and then bypassed Malone. He successfully pursued the defense inside the three-point line and blocked Payton without causing any misalignment.

The defender is fast and can play a certain role on the defensive end. When Guo Xu defends actively, it is not easy for the opponent's point guard to get rid of him.

Payton relied on his height advantage to lob the ball to O'Neal in the low post on the right. O'Neal squeezed Diop twice with his back, then turned and threw to the baseline to score. 2 to 4.

Although O'Neal scored, Diop was not squeezed out of position and continued to interfere in front of him. With him, the Suns did not need to double-team, and the Sharks could not easily get to the basket and dunk.

The defensive plan of the Suns coaching staff is to defend the stars individually, guard against the Lakers' outside three-pointers, and then strive for offensive efficiency. The key lies in Guo Xu's performance. (https:)
