Legend of Tomorrow
Chapter 496 [Beyond promotion, 50+ in 3 games]
? How sensational is it that Guo Xu scored 67 points in a single game? Almost all media around the world reported it and basketball fans were discussing it.
The two sides rested for a day, and those who had previously expressed their disapproval of Guo Xu in interviews hid themselves and refused to be interviewed again. Especially Jordan and Pippen, they both discovered that they could not stimulate Guo Xu and would explode when stimulated.
Pippen criticized twice, and Guo Xu broke Jordan's record for the highest points in a single game in the regular season and playoffs.
There are also people who can't escape, such as Kobe. His coming out to support the Timberwolves against his close friends sparked some controversy and disgusted some fans.
Some fans asked in confusion: Didn't Jason serve as Kobe's best man? How did he offend Kobe?
After Jason left the Lakers, he and O'Neal were still close friends, but their relationship with Kobe faded and they became just acquaintances. I don't believe this is Jason's problem.
I think this is pure jealousy.
Of course, Guo Xu didn't offend Kobe. If he hadn't suggested that Vanessa go to Eagle County with him, Kobe would have had to fight a lawsuit for a year, and their second daughter would have miscarried. But Kobe had no idea what kind of disaster he had avoided. No I will thank Guo Xu.
If you meet less and for a long time, your friends will gradually become alienated from you.
After reading the news, even NBA Commissioner David Stern was moved by it and flew to Minneapolis to watch the fourth game of the two sides in person.
As a result, Guo Xu played the whole game again, playing exactly the same way as he did on the field. He kept running without the ball looking for shooting and breakthrough opportunities. His physical strength seemed to be inexhaustible, and he continued the touch he had on the field, hitting hits. The rate is only slightly lower.
In the end, the Suns defeated the Timberwolves 105-91, and the total score was tied at 2-2.
Winning is a trivial matter, but the key is that Guo Xu scored another 50 points, hit 7 three-pointers, scored 51 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals.
Cassell couldn't find his sights in this game. He made 6 of 15 shots, 0 of 3 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He only had 14 points and 6 assists.
At this time, all the fans who supported the Timberwolves were dumbfounded. The Suns regained the home court advantage, and the advantage was obvious. The Timberwolves seemed to be in danger.
In the last two minutes of the game, many Timberwolves fans chose to leave early in disappointment. The score difference was not big, but the Suns were always in control of the situation.
After the game, basketball experts changed their minds and expressed their optimism that the Suns would reverse the Timberwolves and advance to the finals.
The Battle of Tianwang Mountain started in Phoenix City, and Guo Xu played the whole game again, combining both without and with the ball.
Joe Johnson is in charge of the organization. The twin towers formed by Nene and Stoudemire are also the key to the Suns winning. This trick cannot be broken by the Timberwolves.
Hassell and Sprewell are both swingmen who are 196cm tall and have better defense against the frame. Joe Johnson is 201cm tall and currently weighs 105 kilograms. He is a strong man who can protect the ball and organize the ball.
Guo Xu ran out of position and Joe Johnson passed it to him. If Garnett switched defenses, he could directly lob the ball into the low post, allowing Stoudemire and Nene to hit the basket.
Stoudemire is too strong. Except for Garnett, the Timberwolves' other insiders can't do anything to him. If they don't strengthen the defense of the penalty area, he has the ability to score 30 points in a single game. Nene is a little inferior and has no strong offensive desire, but he has an outstanding body and can also score and grab rebounds.
Garnett mainly defended the penalty area, and Guo Xu played easily from the outside.
At the end of the game, 114 to 89, the Suns won by 25 points. Even with a big lead, Guo Xu did not rest. He played 48 minutes in three consecutive games and scored 50 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals. It was the third consecutive game with 50+ points.
He set another historical record, surpassing Jordan. Even if there are suspicions of data manipulation, the media and fans are all excited. The sports circle is full of news about Guo Xu.
No matter how good you are in the regular season, you can't prove that you are a superstar if you don't perform well in the playoffs.
For example, the basketball emperor Chamberlain had extremely dazzling regular season statistics, but he was defeated by Russell, the King of the Rings, in every finals. This is the main reason why Jordan became the god of basketball.
Jordan scored 50+ points in the playoffs eight times in his career, with his highest score being 63 points. Chamberlain, who scored 100 points in a single game during the regular season and averaged 50.4 points per game, only scored 50+ points in the playoffs four times in his career, and twice scored exactly 50 points.
In Guo Xu's previous life, he was better than Kobe Bryant and scored 50+ points in 25 games in the regular season, but only one game in the playoffs. In the G6 game between the Lakers and the Suns in the 2005-06 playoffs, Kobe scored 50 points alone, including 12 of the team's 13 points in overtime, but still lost to the Suns.
It is so rare to get 50+ points in a single playoff game. Only Jordan had achieved 50+ points in a row before. He scored 50 and 55 points in the first two games of the series with the Cavaliers, and the Bulls also led with a total score of 2-0. Guo Xu has now surpassed himself, scoring 50+ points in three consecutive games, and even broke the record in the first game.
With this kind of data, even if Guo Xu doesn't win the championship this year, he can brag about it for a lifetime.
On the contrary, in just one week, the Timberwolves completed the transition from heaven to hell, from the number one favorite to win the championship to the most tragic backdrop in NBA history. Most people can't even imagine how much pressure the players are under.
In the fifth game, the mentality of the Timberwolves players was obviously broken. They all couldn't afford to lose, and they were even more afraid of Guo Xu getting high scores. The more they wanted to win and were afraid of losing, the less they could win, especially Cassel, who turned into a blacksmith.
Game 6 was played at the Timberwolves' home court. The coaching staff held a meeting before the game and racked their brains to prevent Guo Xu from scoring high points.
If Guo Xu scores another 50 points, the coaching staff will commit suicide by committing seppuku. If they don't commit seppuku, the boss will also want to hack them to death.
Guo Xu suddenly went out of his normal way and mainly passed the ball to assist his teammates. He turned against the visitors at the beginning and caught the Timberwolves off guard.
The Timberwolves guessed wrong. Guo Xu gave up his pursuit of four consecutive games with 50+ points. He barely managed to finish the game. He played three consecutive games and had a super high ball possession rate. This is a great test for the player's tenacity.
After winning the match point, Guo Xu's nerves had relaxed, and it would be difficult to achieve good results if he continued to take more shots.
As a result, the Timberwolves' preparations were in vain. Guo Xu did not attack hard and distributed the ball when double-teamed, which attracted Garnett to switch defenses and distribute the ball.
Stoudemire attacked the basket and scored consecutively on misplaced mid-range shots. His style of play is simple and effective, which is to use his physical advantages.
As long as Garnett is not under the basket and Stoudemire receives the ball in the penalty area, the opponent can only pray that his shooting touch is not good. Because his shooting point is very high and he jumps very fast, it is difficult to block shots. If there is room for him to charge, it will be even worse, and he will directly dunk.
At the end of the game, 125 to 94, the Suns won the away game by 31 points, thus completing the reversal with a total score of 4 to 2 and advancing to the finals first.
Guo Xu played 48 minutes, making 8 of 14 shots, 4 of 8 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored a huge double-double with 22 points and 20 assists.
Stoudemire played 38 minutes, making 16 of 22 shots, 6 of 8 free throws, and scored 38 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 blocks. This game surpassed Garnett in terms of statistics.
Marion, Joe Johnson, and Nene also scored in double figures. The Suns only had 8 players in the rotation and defeated the Timberwolves with their starting lineup.
At the post-match press conference, Guo Xu became more low-key than in the previous games, making no new jokes or commenting on his opponents. In the past, he said that it was mostly for psychological warfare and to demoralize the opponent. Now that he has advanced, there is no need for him to be in trouble with the Timberwolves.
The reporter asked about the finals matchup: Which team in the Eastern Conference do you think will advance?
Pistons, to be precise, I hope the Pistons enter the finals. Guo Xu said with a smile.
Another reporter asked: Why? Do the Pistons have players you want to face off against?
No, because I think the Pistons are easier to beat.
