Legend of Tomorrow
Chapter 474 [Standing strong with old age, narrow strength]
? Payton moved to the frontcourt without passing the ball, and used his height advantage to bring it into the three-point line. He relied on Guo Xu to turn around and made a mid-range shot, but missed due to interference. His play was too simple. Guo Xu had accurate predictions and was able to jump up to interfere with the shot. Haslem grabbed the rebound.
The Suns immediately launched a counterattack, Haslem passed Bell, and the latter passed to Guo Xu.
Guo Xu made an emergency stop one meter outside the three-point line on the right side to shoot a three-pointer. Payton retreated too far back and missed the block. The ball deflected, but Stoudemire, who was about to leave, knocked the offensive rebound out and Marion picked it up. arrive.
O'Neal can't beat Stoudemire if he runs in the game. Malone returns to defense a little faster and uses blocking to grab rebounds. Guo Xu's missed shot bounces farther, making it easier for his teammates to grab the rebound.
Iron, there is another side, that is success!
Guo Xu ran to the left corner to catch the ball. He feinted and then changed direction. He passed Payton in one step and made an emergency stop at 45 degrees to score.
11 to 7, Guo Xu scored his 9th individual point.
Payton was afraid that Guo Xu would be aggressive in chasing after a three-pointer and would be unable to stop the car. He would not be able to keep up with Guo Xu's change of direction. The two of them seemed to be misaligned now.
The Lakers' offense continued from the inside out. O'Neal took the ball and took a step behind Stoudemire, passing the ball to Kobe who was cutting on the right side. Kobe had a good timing to get rid of Bell this time and scored from the middle. 11 to 9.
Guo Xu and Stoudemire's pick-and-roll went to the weak side, and the wing players were unable to double-team. This time Payton pursued the defense. O'Neal blocked a three-pointer with two steps and quickly returned to guard Stoudemire.
Guo Xu led O'Neal towards him, and easily changed direction and succeeded. Payton was unable to get stuck in the side pursuit, so he could only get ashes behind Guo Xu.
Malone retreated to cover the defense. Guo Xu got close to Malone and passed the ball to the left baseline. Haslem made a steady hit in the open mid-range shot.
13 to 9, Guo Xu got his second assist.
The Lakers attacked, Payton once again singled out Guo Xu, and relied on his height advantage to turn and make a jump shot. 13 to 11.
When the Suns attacked, Guo Xu and Stoudemire ran a pick-and-roll and rushed to the right. They suddenly lowered their center of gravity and rushed past O'Neal. Payton was too slow to pursue the defense, and it was impossible to succeed in chasing the shot. Guo Xu succeeded in a quick layup.
15 to 11, Guo Xu’s 11th point.
Suns fans applauded one after another. They were not afraid that the home team could not defend them, because the Suns, under the leadership of Guo Xu, could always score more points than their opponents.
The Lakers attacked, Payton passed to Kobe, and the latter singled out Bell.
After probing, he couldn't make a breakthrough, so he leaned on his shoulders and feinted toward the baseline, turning around and shooting a jumper. Bell did not interfere with the shot, the ball bounced out of the basket, and Haslem grabbed the rebound.
The Lakers don't dare to have two big men rush for offensive rebounds together. If they can't grab it, they will be counterattacked. They have learned this in the regular season.
It was not easy to defend against the Lakers in the Suns position. Guo Xu hit the pick-and-roll and then went to the weak side. Payton was in position to catch up and get close to him. Guo Xu leaned back, tapped the ball with his left hand to his right, swayed his right shoulder to the center, and quickly moved to the right. Turn sideways to pass people.
This was just a basic move. Payton didn't stumble, but as long as the two of them were half a body apart, Guo Xu could get away with speed as soon as he started. O'Neal retreated to cover, Payton pursued the defense and formed a double-team. Guo Xuyun suddenly stopped and turned around and gave the ball to the middle.
Stoudemire doesn't run around, he catches the ball at the free throw line and shoots open shots.
17 to 11, Guo Xu’s third assist.
Phil Jackson requested a timeout. The only time the Lakers defended it was Guo Xu's three-pointer. The defensive problem was serious.
Zhang Lili commented: Payton will be 36 years old in July. He is not slow as a shooting guard, but he is very fast as a point guard.
Xu Jicheng said: It's not surprising that the Lakers were swept by the Suns in the regular season. Guo Xu is the kind of defender the Lakers fear most. He can break through no matter who is guarding him one-on-one. His offensive ability with the ball is definitely top-notch in the league.
Zhang Lili said: Guo Xu's top quality is his potential. He has been improving for four seasons. When he first joined the Lakers, his breakthrough was not so good. Now he is too fast and the big man can't guard him at all.
After the timeout, the Lakers replaced George and replaced Fisher. Payton switched to shooting guard and changed defense.
The Suns made no substitutions and the game had only started four and a half minutes.
The Lakers attack, Payton and Malone play pick-and-roll, and Haslem changes defense very quickly. Payton went to the weak side to attract the defense and score the ball to the middle. Malone feinted and broke through with the ball. Marion, who was squeezed by his strength advantage, could not jump up and scored a layup in three steps. 17 to 13.
When the Suns attack, Guo Xu and Stoudemire play pick-and-rolls. Malone switches defense and keeps a distance from Guo Xu to prevent breakthroughs and interfere with shooting.
Guo Xu chose to step back and shoot a three-pointer. Malone stepped forward and the interference worked. The ball popped out and O'Neal grabbed the rebound.
Malone is a player with both offense and defense. Even if his speed is slow now, he can still defend the pick-and-roll with his excellent experience and sense of distance. He is the Lakers' best insider to defend the pick-and-roll. Although he has only been selected to the All-Defensive Team 4 times in his career, it must be said that it is a miracle that he was still selected to the All-Defensive Team at the age of 36.
When the Lakers attacked, Malone went to the side to cover Fisher without the ball. The latter ran and received the pass. Haslem switched to guard Fisher to prevent him from taking an easy shot from the outside.
Fisher attracted the big man to pass the ball. Malone caught the ball from the right baseline and hit Guo Xu in the mid-range shot, 17-15.
Malone's skills are very comprehensive. With his strength and body, he will have no problem playing for two more seasons. As long as he is given enough shot rights, he can score. His shooting percentage in the regular season is 48.3%.
In Guo Xu's previous life, Ma Long was completely driven away when he retired. He was tricked into his grandma's house by the Vanessa Incident.
After the Lakers failed to compete for the championship in 2004, Malone originally planned to play for one or two more seasons and surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar before retiring. He was confident that he could play well, so he underwent knee surgery and made it clear in an interview that he would not retire.
During the preseason, Kobe participated in a radio interview and told the host: Malone will not return to the Lakers. This is my intuition. Everyone on the Lakers is practicing very hard and playing games very hard. , no one wants to have someone on their shoulders weighing them down. If he comes back, everyone will disappear.
How thick-skinned does one have to be to say such magical things? That means Malone offended everyone in the Lakers and everyone disliked him. In fact, Malone has never defeated any newcomer in the Lakers, and the one who is the most unsociable is the one who speaks.
As soon as Kobe said this, Malone and his agent responded immediately. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, the 41-year-old veteran said angrily that even if his knee injury heals tomorrow, he will never return to this team as long as Kobe is with the Lakers.
The Lakers are now Kobe's team. Although I miss my teammates and fans there, their 'boss' doesn't welcome me. Since I can't afford to offend him, I have no choice but to 'hide'. I know very well that the Lakers Why did Er and Shacklebolt choose to leave. It's clear that there is a narrow-mindedness in the Lakers that is unbearable.
In the past, Malone and Kobe never had a falling out. He never accepted an interview and publicly quarreled with Kobe over Vanessa's incident, and left it alone because he was afraid that the dispute would be too tense and affect the Lakers' championship.
In the new season, Malone can't bear it anymore. If he can't bear it any longer, he will have to put on a mask and become brothers with Westbrook and Mbappe.
Lakers general manager Kupchak quickly issued a statement saying it was a misunderstanding and hoped to save everything. However, it didn't take long for the Postman to officially retire.
At that time, Malone's career total score was 1,459 points short of surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and becoming the NBA's historical scoring leader. With his condition, he can find a team to play for two seasons and ensure attendance and average about 10 points per game. This goal can be achieved, which is a shame. (https:)
