Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 619 [Substitution error, soaring performance]

? David Lee committed a foul and entered the dead ball. Guo Xu came on the field in the fourth minute because the substitute player could not control the rhythm.

Blake plays solidly, has a stable three-point shot, and defends very hard. But his shortcomings are obvious and he cannot drive the whole team.

After joining the Suns, Blake was trained to be a point guard like Fisher. He passed the ball after passing half the court, rarely broke through with the ball, and looked for opportunities to catch and shoot three-pointers outside the three-point line.

Once the team's second scorer, Josh Howard, feels bad and needs others to step up and score, the Suns' situation will become unfavorable. David Lee and Ariza have to practice, and they are far from their peak years.

Therefore, no matter how many balls Guo Xu shoots, no one will think it is unreasonable. If you are a fake fan, you will not know the rest of the Suns at all.

Guo Xu performed well as soon as he came on the field. He relied on David Lee's screen to catch the ball, faced a double team and forced a breakthrough. When he was about to hit Thomas, he pulled the ball up, turned around with long strides, and made a throw in the middle. 39 to 41.

This kind of flying throw is very difficult, but as long as the shot is fast enough, the opponent will not be able to block the shot, and the inside will not have time to defend.

Before the cycle, Guo Xu rarely played like this. Now he has practiced throwing as a regular weapon, because it is easy to avoid double teams and blocks. His shooting movements are not very standard. He throws when there is space.

The characteristic of this style of play is that the shooting percentage is almost the same whether or not there is someone on defense. It is just a gamble on touch, and the opponent can only pray that he does not score. Guo Xu knows that the shooting rate is much lower than catching and shooting, but he is confident that it will be more accurate than Iverson and Kobe.

During the cycle, Guo Xu's shooting percentage in the game was stable at more than 40%.

If some people think he's tough, it's because he was so accurate in the past. For example, Alan Houston and Hamilton can be called the Central Shooting Kings with a 45% two-point shooting rate. Kobe can tour with a 45% shooting rate. What worries does he have?

Guo Xu and Laja Bell returned to the court, and the Suns' ability to defend against fast breaks became stronger. The Knicks still played fast breaks. Salim's breakthrough layup missed due to Bell's interference, and David Lee grabbed the rebound.

David Lee is not just a colander when he comes on the court. His ability to control rebounds is better than Stoudemire and Nene. He also has good vision and can quickly find his teammates and launch a counterattack with one pass.

Blake received the ball and passed it to Guo Xu. Guo Xu took it to the frontcourt. Before being double-teamed, he faced Speedy on the left and shot a three-pointer. The ball bounced out of the frame.

This attack is not over yet;

The physical advantages of the Suns players came into play. Ariza rushed to grab the offensive rebound and immediately passed it out. The Knicks' three guards returned to defense quickly enough, but they couldn't protect the rebounds.

Guo Xu ran to the left corner to catch the ball and feinted, sending Speedy flying. He moved to a 45-degree jumper and hit a three-pointer. The other two defenders were drawn away and failed to cover.

42 to 41, Guo Xu scored his 35th individual point.

When the Knicks attacked, Speedy used a pick-and-roll and forced a breakthrough to pass David Lee. When he went for a layup on the left, Guo Xu caught up with him from behind and the ball bounced into the hands of David Lee.

As soon as he landed, Guo Xu immediately turned around and participated in the fast break. Blake dribbled the ball and passed it to him after half court. Speedy had just made a layup and rushed out of the baseline. He was slow to return to defense.

Blake, Ariza, and Haslem followed quickly. Guo Xu took a step outside the three-point line in the middle and hit Salim's three-pointer. 45 to 41.

Salim, who is 185cm tall, is only a second-round pick with little experience and cannot see the situation clearly. He retreated a little back, fearing that Guo Xu would pass him, forming a 4-on-2 frontcourt, but he forgot how much Guo Xu liked to shoot three-pointers.

During the official timeout, Zhang Lili sighed: Guo Xu made his eighth three-pointer in this game. He scored 38 points and didn't even finish the first half.

Xu Jicheng said: The second quarter has just passed halfway, and he may score 50+ in the first half.

Zhang Lili said: His scoring ability is really comparable to Michael Jordan. If he didn't have to take care of the organization, he could also win many scoring titles.

After the timeout, Coach Thomas made a wrong adjustment and replaced Kurt Thomas with Curry.

If Larry Brown is the coach of the Knicks, it will not be easy for Guo Xu to score high scores, because Brown will do everything possible to strengthen the defense, even if he has a group of people who can't defend.

Brown looked down on people like Curry. In the season he coached, Curry only played 25.9 minutes per game, and this was under the premise that there was a serious shortage of people in the paint. At that time, Kurt Thomas went to the Suns, and David Lee was a rookie that Brown hated.

Assassin Thomas is a coach who advocates offense. After he became the head coach of the Knicks, Curry's playing time increased to a career-high 35.2 minutes, and he posted peak data of 19.5 points and 7 rebounds.

Thomas is well aware that Curry has deficiencies on the defensive end, but he wants him to play more and use his offensive ability to help the team win. More importantly, he wanted to prove that his deal with the Bulls was right, at least it didn't cost him too much.

The Suns replaced Varejao and David Lee to form a twin tower to create opportunities for Guo Xu. The two are more suitable for covering. Haslem's defense is better but his size cannot stop people.

When the Knicks attack, Thomas's tactic is to play a pick-and-roll on David Lee's side, with Frye and Curry covering, and then cutting to attack the basket, or they let the defender break through in a misplaced position, stand still and wait for the pass to pass. cast.

David Lee once again missed someone in the pick-and-roll. His defensive awareness was so bad that he just followed the big man and didn't know how to guard the defender. Marbury easily made a layup. 45 to 43.

When the Suns attacked, the two insiders began to provide double screens for Guo Xu. Guo Xu first ran from the right corner to the left, and then ran to the middle. His teammates closed the door and blocked the chasing Speedy and Green.

Double-teaming without the ball is a technical job, and the Knicks also have many newcomers this season, and they don't cooperate well. Guo Xu didn't waste the opportunity when he caught the ball in the middle. He stepped out of the three-point line, turned around and hit a three-point jump shot, all in one go.

48 to 43, personal 41st point.

Many home fans gave Guo Xu applause. His scoring performance was so crazy, his ninth three-pointer.

Speedy and Curry played a pick-and-roll in the middle, and they misplaced David Lee and scored an easy layup. 48 to 45.

This loophole can be made up by just playing Haslem. D'Antoni did not make any substitutions just to help Guo Xu get better data.

Guo Xu successfully caught the ball with a double screen, and Marbury let go of Payton from the side to block the shot. Guo Xu reacted quickly, feinted with the ball and then changed direction to pass, and Speedy also caught up. He took the ball and rushed to the right side to the weak side. Green let go of Bell and Speedy in the bottom corner, forming another double-team.

Guo Xu scored the ball, and Bell took the shot easily and hit a three-pointer.

51 to 43, Guo Xu’s second assist. Playing like this will make the Knicks very uncomfortable, but Guo Xu will also feel uncomfortable.

The Suns' defense did not always have loopholes. The four players retreated to block the penalty area. Speedy broke through after a pick-and-roll and was double-teamed. He passed the ball to Frye, whose open mid-range shot missed the basket.

David Lee grabbed the rebound and passed it. Guo Xu got a chance to counterattack and singled out Marbury.

Without slowing down, Guo Xu lowered his center of gravity and brought the ball near the penalty area. He took a European step and took a step to the right. At the same time, he passed the ball behind his right hand to his left hand and took another step to the left.

Marbury did not gamble to steal and follow up from the side. The two were at a disadvantage in the physical confrontation with Marbury. Guo Xu jumped up after bumping into him and made a backhand layup with his left hand.

When Marbury saw that he couldn't jump, he chose to foul. As a result, the referee blew the whistle, but Guo Xu still shot the ball, and the rebound fell into the basket.

Guo Xu also hit the extra free throw, 54 to 43.

The atmosphere in Madison Square Garden began to change, with more and more applause. Everyone could see that Guo Xu was unstoppable in a one-on-one match.
