Legend of Tomorrow

? The game continued, Hamilton ran and caught the ball and hit two points, 22-6.

Guo Xu played a pick-and-roll, which attracted Ben to switch defenses and distributed the ball to the middle. Stoudemire made an air cut, and Okur was stuck in the defense to prevent Stoudemire from getting started.

In his previous life, Okur was selected as an All-Star because of more than just his three-point shooting. He has rich game experience in Europe, has excellent immediate ability on both ends of the offense and defense, and knows exactly what he should do.

Stoudemire didn't force the ball and passed the ball to Haslem on the left. The latter had just come on the field and had not yet started to move. He missed the mid-range shot under slight interference from the chasing Ben, and Okur grabbed the rebound.

The Pistons attacked. After the pick-and-roll, Okur received the ball in the middle. The high jump shot missed due to Bell's interference. Stoudemire grabbed the defensive rebound.

Stoudemire wanted to launch a counterattack, but the pass was a little too hasty. Okur directly intercepted it near the top of the arc and passed the ball to Hamilton. The latter caught the ball and quickly shot and scored in the mid-range shot. 22 to 8.

Bell and Guo Xu ran away on the fast break together, and could only cover up with teammates on the flanks. Hamilton would not miss this opportunity. He made a perfect mid-range shot and was always open.

When the Suns attacked, Guo Xu passed the ball to Joe Johnson and then ran to the left corner. He slid down the baseline and ran to the right, using the cover tactic the Suns often practice. Haslem and Stoudemire closed the door in the low post on the left. , blocking Billups.

Joe Johnson first passed the ball to Bell who ran to 70 degrees, and the latter transferred the ball to the bottom corner to Guo Xu.

The Suns' elevator screen has been studied by other teams. At this time, the inside pursuit must be active. Okur pounced to defend Guo Xu's three-pointer from the right corner. Guo Xu feinted with the ball, changed direction and took one step past Okurta, who made a sudden stop at 45 degrees and scored on the board.

24 to 8, personal 17th point.

The blue-collar man-shield defense is misplaced, and Guo Xu can break out at will without his teammates coming to double-team him.

Guard vs. center is the most serious mismatch on the court. Not to mention Guo Xu, other small guards can also do it. In the 1999-00 season, Trier Brandon, who was entering a period of decline, relied on pick-and-roll tactics in the Timberwolves. They can all hit 17+9 data.

Seeing Guo Xu scoring consecutively, Billups also wanted to return the favor. He took it to the frontcourt and used his height advantage to suddenly pull up a three-pointer. Guo Xu jumped up to interfere, and the ball went wide. Joe Johnson grabbed the rebound.

Ignoring Leng Jian requires distance. Guo Xu is too close, and Billups' shooting rhythm is easily disrupted. If he does not rely on screens, it is almost impossible to get rid of Guo Xu's entanglement with his speed.

In the positional battle, Guo Xu played a pick-and-roll again, dribbling the ball to the weak side. After attracting the defense, he dribbled the ball to his left hand and changed direction to the right to break through.

Ben Wallace followed up from the side, preparing to give Guo Xu a big hat.

Guo Xu brought it to the basket but did not make a layup. Instead, he half-turned and passed the ball from his side to the middle. Stoudemire squeezed out Billups and made an air cut. After receiving the ball, he leaped up and smashed Huashan with one hand. Smash the ball in!

26 to 8, Guo Xu’s fourth assist.

If Ben turns around half a second too late, he won't be able to block the shot. His advantage is strength, and his explosiveness is not as good as Stoudemire's. Therefore, on the offensive end, Ben is not very powerful when he goes down after a pick-and-roll. His teammates can't just throw the ball into the sky and complete the alley-oop. .

The Pistons attacked, and Hamilton attracted the defense and assisted Oku in the mid-range shot from the corner. 26 to 10.

In fact, Okur is fully capable of shooting from outside the three-point line, but Brown forced him to take one or two steps behind the screen to catch the ball and shoot, otherwise he would not be allowed to go. Okur, who is famous for shooting three-pointers in Turkey, was stunned. The transformed player averaged only 0.7 three-pointers per game.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Okur joined the Jazz in 2004. Jerry Sloan was also a coach who didn't like three-pointers, but at his peak Okur could shoot 4.2 shots and hit 1.6.

The most suitable team for Okur is the Mavericks. Unfortunately, the Mavericks management gave Dampier a high-paying long-term contract in 2004 and never looked at Okur. If he and Nowitzki partnered, two big men with range Together they can perform on both offense and defense.

When the Suns attacked, Guo Xu was brought to the frontcourt and was closely guarded by Billups. His teammates covered him and Ben defended him beyond the three-point line.

Guo Xu passed the ball to Joe Johnson, who passed it to Stoudemire who cut through. Stoudemire encountered Okur who was on defense and chose to hit hard this time. He turned around and missed the shot due to interference. Okur immediately got stuck and won the rebound.

The tactic Brown emphasized is to resolutely contain Guo Xu, making it difficult for him to shoot or break through. There may be openings in other positions. It depends on whether the Suns players can seize the opportunity.

After Okur came on the court, the Pistons' offensive end also opened up, and their performance in the second half was not inferior to that of the Suns.

In the last two minutes, the Pistons replaced Billups and replaced him with Lynch Hunter, a shorter combo guard who can shoot three-pointers.

The Suns replaced Stoudemire and replaced Nene, who was also responsible for the pick-and-roll in the middle. When encountering a cover ball, Haslem shot. Haslem received an assist and made a mid-range shot.

In the Suns' last attack before the end of the first quarter, Guo Xu singled out Hunter with the ball from the outside, dribbled behind his back, took a step-back shot, and hit near the free throw line.

The Pistons also hit one in the last 6 seconds. Hunter missed a forced layup and Okur scored a tip-in.

The Suns entered the second quarter with a 30-18 lead. Guo Xu scored 19 points and 4 assists. Billups made 0 of 3 shots in a single quarter, scored no points and sent two assists.

In the second quarter, Billups, who had rested for 2 minutes, came up to lead the bench.

He finally started to perform in the face of Blake, making 2 of 2 shots, actually a three-pointer, and a breakthrough after a pick-and-roll that caused a foul on Nene. He made two free throws and scored a total of 7 points. Substitute shooting guard Bob Sura also made a mid-range shot and made a breakthrough and fouled two free throws.

However, Joe Johnson, Marion, and Nene also scored consecutively, keeping the advantage at more than 10 points. It is too luxurious for these three to bring substitutes. Howard can also perform on the defensive end and is not a fuel-saving lamp.

When the main force came back one after another, the Pistons couldn't hold it anymore.

Nene and Stoudemire partnered on the inside, and Marion, Joe Johnson, and Guo Xu on the outside. This is the strongest lineup of the Suns. The offense can open up the space, and the defense is equally tight. The Pistons players on the defense can hit the iron and then immediately counterattack.

Brown's style of play is to have players constantly rely on breakthroughs or running without the ball to hit the basket, so Okur was replaced again. As a result, facing the Suns' zone defense, everyone was crowded near the penalty area, their shots were interfered with, and they suffered several big blocks.

Even if the Suns counterattack, even if they don't hit more than they do, they can still create one-on-one opportunities. Guo Xu made 2 of 5 three-pointers, once passed Campbell for a layup, and once caused Billups to foul and made two free throws.

The most exciting scene was when Stoudemire received a pass from Guo Xu during a counterattack, and scored with an alley-oop and back dunk with both hands.

Guo Xu scored 10 points and 1 assist in this quarter and 29 points and 5 assists in the half, leading the Suns to a 59-41 lead.

During the halftime break, Chinese fans also paid attention to Guo Xu. Many people left messages online, hoping that CCTV5 could broadcast more Suns games. Guo Xu scored 30 points, which attracted a large number of fans.

In a game that just ended, the Rockets defeated the 76ers 74-66 on the road, and the two sides staged a fight.

Francis made 3 of 17 shots, Jim Jackson made 3 of 11 shots, and even Yao Ming became a blacksmith, making 5 of 15 shots.

The Rockets were still able to win because the opponent was even worse. Iverson made 4 of 19 shots, Mark Jackson made 4 of 13 shots, Snow made 3 of 10 shots, and the most accurate McGee was 4 of 9 shots.

Since Jeff Van Gundy coached the Rockets, they have averaged less than 90 points per game. They are not as good as the Suns in three quarters. Chinese fans only watch the Rockets to support Yao Ming, and then everyone admits that offensive basketball is better.

Some Chinese fans are following the Suns by watching text live broadcasts online, wondering what data Guo Xu can produce today, and hoping that the Pistons can last until the fourth quarter.
