Legend of Tomorrow

?

The other two games that started first have ended.

The Magic defeated the Cavaliers 113-101 in overtime and won their eighth win of the season.

McGrady played 50 minutes, making 15 of 29 shots, 5 of 9 three-pointers, and 6 of 9 free throws. He scored 41 points, 8 rebounds, 11 assists, and 3 steals, beating James' 34 points and 6 assists.

McGrady is a player who broke out as soon as he played in the Christmas game, but he was upstaged by Guo Xu. Before the overtime game of the Suns started, Guo Xu scored more points than McGrady. Last season, Guo Xu also scored against the Lakers in the Christmas game. Downloaded super data.

The Rockets, who had lost consecutive games in the Western Conference, finally stopped their decline and defeated the Lakers 99-87 away from home.

Malone only played 6 minutes before being injured and left the game. Medvedenko got 23 minutes of playing time. The Lakers' defense became very poor. The Rockets' three perimeter players all performed well. Yao Ming also scored 18 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.

Kobe performed abnormally, making 9 of 26 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 4 of 6 free throws, and scored 23 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists.

O'Neal made 5 of 12 shots, 12 of 18 free throws, and scored 22 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, and 3 blocks.

Another group of people on the Internet boasted about Cato, who played 34 minutes and scored 5 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocks, saying that his role cannot be reflected in the data because he was responsible for resisting O'Neal and protecting Yao Ming.

In fact, it would be much more comfortable for Yao Ming to defend O'Neal and defend near the penalty area. If there hadn't been a crazy one-on-one fight and Payton didn't have the ball, the Lakers wouldn't have lost if they played more pick-and-rolls.

Zen Master Jackson has become a Buddha this season. Regardless of whether the players on the court are cooperating or whether the shots are smooth or not, he does not call a timeout and allows the players to make adjustments on the court.

Many Lakers fans left the game early in the final quarter. This has never happened before. This is no longer what they like. The Lakers have a strong offense and often defeat their opponents in three quarters. Even when they win games, the Lakers often fight against weak teams until the end, relying on star players to play alone and key shots with low shooting percentages to narrowly defeat them. How can a strong team get so many key goals?

Chinese fans have begun to pay attention to the Suns' games. After seeing the ratings, 5 leaders also began to consider broadcasting more Suns games in the future.

During the timeout, D'Antoni continued his small-ball tactics, and the big man only sent one Nene to defend the penalty area.

Stoudemire performed well on the offensive end with 18 points and 8 rebounds today, but he was too poor on the defensive end. He couldn't guard Nowitzki with 5 fouls, and it was easy to get passed in pick-and-rolls when he was pulled out to defend Walker.

Nene only played 20 minutes.

Full of physical strength, they can help the team on both offense and defense. The other four are Haslem, Marion, Laga Bell, and Guo Xu.

The Suns' tactics are very simple, let Guo Xu play, and the others can defend firmly.

Nenei pays attention to covering Jason without the ball and helping him get rid of the ball. Jason can also cross the half court and directly hold the ball for singles. You have unlimited shot rights. You decide whether to break through or shoot.

This was exactly what Guo Xu wanted. The Mavericks tenaciously pursued the overtime, but they had few players in the rotation, and the five starting players consumed a lot of energy and could no longer withstand it.

Today, Mavericks core Nowitzki played all 48 minutes of regular time. When Nelson was drafting that year, he believed that Nowitzki had the opportunity to lead a revolution in the basketball world. This kind of big man who can shoot is indeed good, but the Mavericks rely too much on him.

Finley played 38 minutes, Walker 37 minutes, Jamison and Nash 35 minutes, and the Mavericks relied on five starters.

Only Guo Xu played more than 35 minutes in the Suns. He also rested for a while in the second and final quarters. He still had plenty of energy for 38 minutes, which was much easier than Nowitzki. The coaching staff was prepared to let him play the full overtime.

The game continues with the Suns attacking first.

Guo Xu controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and his teammates all stretched out, covering Nash from outside the three-point line.

Guo Xu dribbled the ball to the weak side and opened up. Nowitzki blocked it so that he could not easily shoot a three-pointer, and then chased back Nene who cut in the air.

Nene went to the left and stood in the low post to attract the defense. If the Mavericks players on the right want to double-team Guo Xu, they can only go up to Finley in the bottom corner, at the cost of leaving Bell, who has range, open. The Mavericks didn't dare to do this. Bell had already hit three three-pointers before.

Guo Xu faced the frame at 50 degrees and took a small step to the right. He dribbled the ball behind his right hand to his left hand, then stepped back with his left foot and shot a jump shot, facing Nash and scoring in the mid-range shot. 113 to 111.

Nash barely jumped and just stretched out his hand to interfere. Guo Xu felt no pressure when he took action.

When the Mavericks attacked, Nowitzki caught the ball and faced Nene. At this time, it was about competing for the star's personal ability. Nelson believed that he was the most certain offensive point.

Nowitzki shook and then turned around in the middle. Due to severe interference, he missed the shot and Marion grabbed the rebound.

Smith commented: Old Nelson really wanted to beat Jason's team. He let the main players play for a long time and treated it like a playoff game. Now that the Suns have strengthened their defense, it is not a good idea to single out Nene.

Barkley smiled: Finley's performance is very poor this season. The Mavericks can only choose Nowitzki and Jamison in singles. I don't think Nash will have a good result in singles against Jason.

Larry Drew is an assistant coach who values ​​defense. He made suggestions to D'Antoni to rest Joe Johnson, who can attack with the ball and has a good touch in the final quarter, reuse Bell, and let Marion mainly defend small forwards. This is a key adjustment, as Joe Johnson suffered defensively against Jamison today.

Now with Marion's entanglement, Jamison has trouble catching the ball.

The Suns attacked and used the same tactics as before. Guo Xu led the first half of the half and cooperated with Nene in the pick-and-roll to the weak side. Nene cut through to attract Nowitzki to retreat. Guo Xu opened the weak side to challenge Nash. .

He first dribbled the ball under his hips and changed direction to the right, and Nash followed. Guo Xu protected the ball with his back and pushed Nash towards the center. He turned and retreated for a jumper. He used his speed to open up a meter of distance, and the ball hit the net hollowly.

115 to 111, personal 61st point.

Guo Xu's statistics were displayed on the big screen in the stadium, and Suns fans applauded vigorously. Everyone wanted to know how many times he could score 60+ in a single season.

Barkley said: If this continues, the Suns will definitely win. Jason is very sure of beating Nash in singles.

Smith said: In the last quarter, the Mavericks kept their distance when encountering a pick-and-roll inside. They happened to be stuck in a position where it was difficult for Jason to shoot a three-pointer. Now he looks for a screen and waits for the big man to leave before taking a one-on-one mid-range shot. The Mavericks have no choice. .”

In singles, the most common offensive method is definitely the mid-range shot. Guo Xu is used to playing singles with Bibby and Wade, and there are no blind spots for shooting. He can still perform even if a three-pointer is blocked.

When playing against the Kings, Bibby's ability to interfere with shots was very poor. He averaged 0.1 blocks per game in his career. The equally poor guard was Nash, who could not block a few shots throughout the season. His jumping ability was even worse than Bibby's. Nash's height of 191cm is also a false report. He is actually 187cm at most, not much taller than Guo Xu, and his wingspan is not outstanding.

Even Nash's strongest speed is a little slower than Guo Xu. This season, Guo Xu has been able to crush him with talent.

The Mavericks passed the ball and Nash wanted to return the favor. He ran without the ball and caught the ball for a three-pointer. Haslem changed defense very quickly and successfully interfered with the shot. The rebound was grabbed by Marion and he passed the ball to initiate a counterattack.

Guo Xu caught the ball on the fast break and got another chance to challenge Nash. He forced a breakthrough and scored by relying on Nash to hit the basketball on the right side.

117 to 111, personal 63rd point.

Nash was already very active in defense, but due to his physical condition, he couldn't block the opponent's layup. Just following up was useless. He was not good at blocking, which gave Guo Xu plenty of space to take off.

Old Nelson stood on the sidelines and pinched his waist to watch the game. He felt something bad. Guo Xu's hands became hot again.
