Legend of Tomorrow
Chapter 621 [Closing the door and letting Guo go, the fans defected]
The Knicks attacked, Marbury distributed the ball, and Willie Green ran on the side without the ball to catch the ball and hit a three-pointer. 70 to 58.
David Lee was slow to switch defenses again. If the Suns' two major insiders were not injured, he would have to start from the fringe with such poor defensive awareness. Now he has become one of the three major insiders in an important rotation.
It has to be said that this second-generation rich man is really blessed with good fortune. Next summer, the Suns management will not consider renewing the contract with Nene, who cannot earn an annual salary of tens of millions, but has potential injuries. David Lee will also next season. get reused.
Larry Drew, the Suns' first assistant coach, is going to go back and teach David Lee a lesson, asking him to watch the video of this game repeatedly to find his own shortcomings.
David Lee's physical fitness is superb, and his jumping ability, explosive power, flexibility and coordination are among the top among white people. In high school, he participated in the McDonald's Dunk Contest and defeated James White to win the championship. His problem lies in his defensive awareness. My consciousness has improved and my future is very promising.
The early rise of small-ball tactics has led many teams to imitate the Suns' style of play, and the same is true for the Knicks. They have tactics, but they lose because of the personal abilities of the players. Both offensive players and blue-collar workers are one level worse than the current Suns.
If the coaching staff had reused Haslem and not allowed David Lee to play, the point difference would have widened long ago.
When the Suns attacked, Guo Xu caught the ball at half court and was double-teamed. He lowered his center of gravity and dribbled the ball below his knees. He had no chance to break through and passed the ball back to Payton.
Payton was left open outside the three-point line and did not shoot. He dribbled the ball and waited for Guo Xu to move, waiting for the opportunity to distribute the ball.
His long-range shooting ability began to deteriorate in 2003, and now he hardly shoots three-pointers. He will only consider taking action when the 24 seconds are almost up and Guo Xu has no chance to play.
It's hard to do that with young players who are fresh in their blood, they're going to want to perform. As for Payton, a veteran, he knows how to do it without deliberately arranging it.
The Knicks feel uncomfortable when Guo Xu runs. It's difficult for two people to follow him without the ball. His speed can disrupt the defensive system.
Guo Xu went around from the right to the left, and then out from the left. David Lee and Varejao made a double screen at 60 degrees on the left. Guo Xu ran through the gap, and then the two of them closed the door together, letting Guo Xu go and blocking others.
Guo Xu caught the ball, turned around and shot a jumper, all in one move. Just beyond the three-point line, it was very close to him, and the ball hit the net hollowly.
73 to 58, personal 59th point.
Thomas the Assassin requested a timeout again,
It’s okay if you don’t scream. Guo Xu is obviously going to break the single-game scoring record in this state. The Knicks players’ defense just now was not good, so it was too easy for him to take action.
At this time, the fans at the scene turned against each other, and many New York fans shouted MVP. Guo Xu had conquered Madison Square Garden.
Since the 1983-84 season, only one person in the league has scored 60+ points at the Knicks' home court, and it is Knicks legend Bernard King. Guo Xu is about to achieve this feat in the away game.
Xu Jicheng said: It is estimated that many Chinese fans watching this game are calling and sending text messages to tell their friends and ask them to turn on the TV to watch the live broadcast on CCTV5. Guo Xu is about to play a game that will be recorded in history. I think he will play in the third quarter today. You can get more than 70 points.”
Zhang Lili said excitedly: Not only did he score a lot, he also hit a high percentage, making 12 of 18 three-pointers.
Xu Jicheng said: If the Knicks want to guard him, I think they can only use double-teaming without the ball, and they have to follow him after halftime.
Zhang Liyi nodded: This has never happened in NBA history. In Jordan's era, such defense was illegal. His ability to attract double teams is now stronger than Jordan's.
Marbury was replaced and Speedy defended Guo Xu. The shooting guard is still Green and small forward Barnes. Coach Thomas did not dare to replace the young rookie Salim at this time. He is inexperienced and prone to making mistakes.
Marbury wiped his sweat with a towel, his eyes were confused, he was already depressed.
When encountering a screen, he had to go around from the side to pursue the defense. Curry stood motionless almost every time, and Malik rarely paid attention to Guo Xu. When Guo Xu runs, the Knicks will switch from double-teaming to chasing and defending alone. Even if he doesn't pass the ball, it won't work like this.
Knicks players have become accustomed to laziness in recent years. How can they change their defensive habits? Having Larry Brown as coach is useless in the short term.
Speedy, who came off the bench, was under greater pressure. Guo Xu was much stronger than him. He could only keep up with the speed. But currently, no one in the Knicks is more suitable to play defense than him. It is difficult for anyone else to catch up with Guo Xu without the ball.
D'Antoni did not change his tactics and emphasized his style of play. Double screen, hand the ball to Jason to take action. Pay attention to the wings to rush for offensive rebounds. After grabbing the ball, pass it out. Everyone's task is to help Jason score.
No player objected. The Suns are Guo Xu's team, and tactics must be based around him. Even Howard, whose strength has been improving, can only obey the arrangement.
If a player wants to score high points, he must have the right time, place, and people.
Guo Xu has taken advantage of them all, including the advantage in rules. Handcheck has been very strict this season and can lead to fouls. Currently, the league does not strictly enforce elevator door screens.
This tactic has been around for a long time, with pros and cons. The Spurs and Pacers often play it. Other teams don't learn it because they lack super three-pointers. As long as the player does not move too far to give the opponent a shoulder when closing the door, the referee will not call a screen foul.
The game continued, the Knicks attacked, Speedy controlled the ball, and four teammates ran through the half court first.
As a result, as soon as Speedy passed halftime, Guo Xu stepped forward to press. Previously, he had always retreated far away to let Speedy shoot from a distance, and he still didn't match up with him when he went up to double defenders.
Guo Xu's pressing had an obvious effect this time, catching his opponent off guard. Speedy had just come on the field, and a few minutes before halftime, his body was cold and he did not move.
As soon as Guo Xu rushed up to Speedy, he panicked a little. He failed to change direction and turned his back to protect the basketball. He was hit close to him and staggered a little. Guo Xu saw the right opportunity and stabbed the basketball away with his left hand.
Speedy turned around very quickly, and the two started chasing the ball almost at the same time. As a result, Guo Xu was one step faster and picked up the ball first for a fast break.
As soon as Speedy couldn't stand it anymore, he quickly called a foul and sent Guo Xu to the free throw line.
Thomas shook his head on the sidelines. This kind of foul is a penalty. Sure enough, Guo Xu made two free throws, 75 to 58.
Zhang Lili shouted: Personal 61st point! Guo Xu's scoring efficiency is too high!
Xu Jicheng said: He is going to break his personal single-game scoring record in three quarters, and it will take a long time.
The Knicks attacked, and Speedy was forced by Guo Xu from outside the three-point line again. This time Guo Xu's gambling steal failed and his opponent easily got rid of him.
Speedy broke through the middle to attract the defense and then scored the ball. Curry dunked the basketball with one hand and scored. 75 to 60.
When the Suns attacked, Guo Xu caught the ball in the backcourt. He was double-teamed as soon as he passed the midline, and passed to Payton who was left open with one hand. Green and Speedy ignored Payton and pursued Guo Xu without the ball.
Even without scoring, the Suns' role players can still perform. Varejao did not go to the penalty area, but took one step outside the three-point line to help Guo Xu cover without the ball. Payton passed the ball, Guo Xu received the ball without pausing, and forced a breakthrough in the face of Speedy who was in position to pursue him.
He knocked Speedy away with all his strength, then used his speed to change direction and pass Curry, then jumped onto the basketball and scored.
Guo Xu's attack was completed at extreme speed. After jumping, his body tilted forward and flew out of the baseline after scoring. His landing movement was very beautiful, with a parkour body and he quickly turned over.
77 to 60, personal 63rd point.
Thomas was stunned on the sidelines, what should he do if double-teaming from the outside failed?
Dear, click in and give a good review. The higher the score, the faster the update. It is said that those who give full marks to the new ones finally find beautiful wives!
