Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 620 [Midfield 3-pointer, please call me Jesus]

? Next, Guo Xu was double-teamed frequently and scored 4 points even though it was difficult to catch the ball. He all relied on a counterattack to challenge Marbury. He stepped back and made an emergency mid-range shot. He broke through and drew a foul and made two free throws. .

Marbury not only failed to guard it, but also paid the price of three fouls. He couldn't even hide. Guo Xu mainly defended him and faced him when he counterattacked. Speedy, who was faster, could not double-team Guo Xu during the counterattack.

Blake can guard Speedy. It doesn't matter if he is slower. Just let him two steps away and wait for him to break out near the penalty area. Don't worry about mid- and long-range shots. Speedy is not sure about one-step jump shots inside the three-point line.

The Suns led 62 to 53 at halftime.

Guo Xu had already scored 48 points. During the halftime break, major websites were rushing to report on the game. A group of reporters in New Jersey who were preparing to interview the Nets were also rushing here. Guo Xu was expected to score another high score.

The score difference between the two sides is not big, and he will definitely continue to play in the second half.

Some experts analyzed Guo Xu's shooting during midfield and believed that his shooting movements were fast and energy-saving. He stretched his arms very quickly to throw the ball, which is worth learning by many players.

Guo Xu has indeed developed the habit of straight-arm shooting, allowing his wrist to completely release and move downward to the maximum extent. In this way, his shots in the center circle will not be insufficient. This force-generating technique is not unique to him. McGrady can also shoot with one hand in the midfield, but the arc is lower than him.

Guo Xu was still dissatisfied with his score. He felt that 18 points in 8 minutes in the second quarter was not much. It would not be difficult to break 80 at this rate, but it would be difficult to hit the 100-point mark.

So he discussed with Varejao and asked him to pay more attention to Marbury. If possible in the second half, help Marbury get fouled and stop focusing on interior defense.

As long as Marbury rests, it will be easier for Guo Xu to take shots. During the counterattack, he can rush to shoot against the other two defenders. Marbury, who is 188cm tall and has no one to cover him, can do a better job of interfering with the shot.

In the second half, Guo Xu was ready to use a trick. Instead of constantly running around looking for shooting opportunities, it was better to bet on touch at a longer distance and in a position where no one would double-team.

At the beginning of the second half, Payton, who had rested for the whole quarter, made a mistake while dribbling the ball in the backcourt and was intercepted by Green, scoring two points easily. 62 to 55.

When the Suns attacked, Payton passed the ball to Guo Xu as soon as the half was over, and it was Marbury who faced him.

No one came up to double-team at this distance. The Knicks used zone defense to position themselves. Only Marbury, who was positioned farthest outside, was in front of the three-point line.

Something unexpected happened to everyone. After receiving the ball, Guo Xu took a step forward and shot a three-pointer in the center circle, stepping on the edge of the Knicks' team logo.

Marbury didn't step forward to interfere. He thought Guo Xu was crazy, so he turned around and saw the ball flying into the basket.

Hat?! Everyone at the scene was stunned, including Guo Xu's teammates and coaching staff.

You are no longer feeling good, you are cheating!

65 to 55, Guo Xu scored his 51st individual point.

The Knicks attacked and the Suns shrank their defense. Malik Rose's mid-range shot missed the basket due to slight interference from Varejao.

Malik worked very hard when playing for the Spurs. He performed bravely on both offense and defense, which can boost morale. Now Malik has lost his energy and his shooting is unstable.

Because he won a championship with the Spurs and had no regrets in his career, the Knicks had no hope at all and couldn't even make the playoffs. In 2002, he also signed a seven-year long-term contract worth 42 million yuan, which did not expire until 2009. Now he can't get a big contract even if he works hard, so he might as well play basketball for health.

David Lee counterattacked with a rebound and a pass. Blake passed the ball to Guo Xu. Guo Xu dribbled the ball across half court. Marbury quickly returned to defense and retreated to the three-point line without pressing.

Just two steps past the center line, Guo Xu stopped a little to the right and made another jump shot. Everyone was dumbfounded. Those who didn't know it thought that the third quarter was about to end and this was his last shot.

Incredibly, Guo Xu's super long three-pointer with a high arc hit the net hollowly.

68 to 55, personal 54th point.

Guo Xu turned back to the midline jump ball position, stretched out his arms flatly, and performed a Midfield Jesus celebration.

He is excited to play. When he practices ultra-long-range three-pointers, when no one is defending, he usually has a shooting rate of about 40%. This is the result of hard training with 200 goals in a group, which is already great.

This celebration is quite fun and he wants it, and it will no longer be Bynum's patent.

The cameraman showed the camera to the Knicks bench. A group of people, including coach Thomas, were all stunned and in disbelief. On the Suns bench, Haslem took the lead in dancing and waving towels.

Zhang Liyi shouted: Guo Xu scored two consecutive three-pointers in the midfield. He is amazing today. He is more like the god of basketball than Jordan.

Xu Jicheng smiled and said: Thomas didn't call a timeout. How to defend if he did? Double-team in the midfield?

Zhang Liji said: There must have never been such a performance in NBA history. This is Guo Xu's true strength. In the first two years, the lineup was too strong and he just played around and took the ring for a holiday. Now he has stood up.

The Knicks attacked, and Marbury was already anxious.

Although he has never led a team to the second round of the playoffs, his statistics are not bad. He has always felt that he is one of the best point guards in the league and one of the most underestimated stars. Nash, Kidd and others only Able to find position behind himself. In other words, Guo Xu and Iverson's personal abilities are slightly better than him.

Marbury was ineffective in directly challenging Guo Xu. He chose to play a pick-and-roll with Curry. After changing, he lowered his head and wanted to rush to the right at full speed.

Unexpectedly, Varejao was staring at him. Before, he was shrinking near the penalty area, but this time Varejao stood particularly outside, slightly inside the three-point line. Marbury was used to keeping a distance inside the Suns, so he didn't observe it well and bumped into Varejao.

With his weight of 82 kilograms, he shouldn't be able to knock down a 120 kilogram high center forward, but Varejao's dive was very technical. He would deliberately tilt his center of gravity backwards and bend his legs, making him appear to be only 190cm tall. He wasn't exactly diving, but actually creating contact and putting himself in a position where he could easily be knocked down.

Marbury couldn't stop the car and hit Varejao, knocking the big man to the ground and the referee blew the whistle.

Even in the regular season, bottom teams like the Knicks won't have many home calls because there are no stars worthy of praise on the team, and Marbury's reputation has long since expired.

This kind of collision can easily cause controversy if the referee does not call it. The ball was given to the Suns and Marbury committed four fouls.

Thomas the Assassin made another mistake at this time. He did not replace Marbury immediately. At this moment, his mind was a little stuck, and he kept thinking about how many points Guo Xu would score today.

Thomas couldn't help but compare Guo Xu with the stars of his era. Can he and Magic Johnson have better personal abilities than Guo Xu?

The answer is no. Neither he nor Magic can do Guo Xu's shooting without blind spots. In terms of single-game scoring explosiveness, even Jordan is not as good as Guo Xu. Jordan's highest score is only 69 points.

By the time he came to his senses, Guo Xu had already completed a forced breakthrough, dribbling behind his back and then European-stepping to get rid of the double team.

Marbury knew that he had committed four fouls and was not so determined when double-teaming. He was afraid of fouling. If he committed five fouls, he would have to go down and rest. The low-intensity confrontation couldn't contain Guo Xu. He rushed in and hit a high layup before Curry's defense and scored another goal.

70 to 55, personal 56th point.

D'Antoni took the lead in cheering from the sidelines, and his teammates no longer considered scoring, they just helped Guo Xu create opportunities and help him set records.

Everyone wants to see how many points he can score in the end...
