Legend of Tomorrow
Chapter 636 [4 times thirty+, nicknamed Legend]
The Suns attacked, Guo Xu slipped to the baseline again, and Arruyu changed defense, but the speed was not fast enough.
Guo Xu raised the ball and feinted, moved sideways and easily passed Aruyu. Mike James chased and defended, and Calderon let go of Payton to help defend.
Guo Xu used his peripheral vision to observe the position of everyone, knowing that it was difficult to break through and that the strong shot would have no good results. He had no choice but to choose a high throw pass to the basket. Varejao was unguarded and dunked the basketball with both hands. 22 to 14.
The Raptors attacked, and Payton also started to let loose. He felt wonderful, wanted to laugh, wanted to stick out his tongue and shake his head on the court.
Before joining the Suns, Payton had always tried his best to play but could not win a championship, even if he formed an F4 with the Lakers. Now that there are three less of the Big Four of the Suns, he can be lazy on the court, and it is the team leader who needs him to be lazy.
Seeing that Payton was two steps away, Calderon actively ran and caught the ball at 50 degrees on the left side and hit a three-point jump shot, 22-17.
This is a talented point guard from Spain. He is 24 years old, 191cm tall and 90kg in weight. He represented the Spanish men's basketball team and won the 2004 Olympic championship. He entered the NBA as a non-draft player. He is a solid player and has immediate combat ability. He is good at passing the ball and is good at organizing offenses. He also has stable mid-range and long-range shooting.
Calderon, who had just joined the Raptors, was not taken seriously by coach Mitchell and was asked to serve as a substitute. In fact, his personal ability was better than that of James, whose playing style was not like a point guard at all.
Just one thing can prove how good Calderon is. In Guo Xu's previous life, he was still playing in the NBA in 2018.
When the Suns attacked, Guo Xu relied on a double screen to catch the ball at 60 degrees on the left side and hit a three-point jumper. The ball missed the basket. Varejao rushed to grab the offensive rebound, separated from the outside and looked for Guo Xu.
Guo Xu feinted after catching the ball and turned to the right to break through. James moved laterally a little slower and bumped into him when he caught up with him from the side. He immediately stumbled and lost the basketball. The referee blew the whistle for a defensive foul.
After becoming a star, Guo Xu never felt embarrassed because he had a star whistle. It is better to average 10 free throws per game and be questioned by other fans about body hair fouls than to average less than 5 free throws per game and then complain to yourself and the fans. He is now more and more fond of drawing fouls. Not only can he score easily, but he may also affect the defender's mentality.
Guo Xu made two free throws, 24 to 17, his 22nd point.
Coach Mitchell called another timeout and made substitution adjustments. James, who committed two offenses on the outside, was forced to take a rest to guard the water cooler. Center Aruyu also took a rest and sent Marvin Williams and Matt Bonner.
This is an extreme substitution, which reduces the team's defensive intensity in the penalty area. Their lineup is different from Guo Xu's previous life. They were lucky enough to win the second pick. Villanueva was not selected in the 2005 draft, and the only big man in the team who could resist was Aruyu.
After Marvin started a few games, the Raptors management was very disappointed. He was poor at power forward and had little desire to attack at small forward. He lacked aggressiveness, rarely broke through or drew fouls, and his shooting range was average. Mainly vote.
Bosh is a lanky star power forward who firmly occupies the starting No. 4 position. Marvin also overlaps in position with the highly paid but incompetent Jaylen Rose. He has not yet developed his three-point shooting, lacks experience in the game, and is less effective than the veteran.
Now Mitchell sends Marvin up to strengthen defense. He has super physical fitness and is relatively capable of flank defense and switching defenders. The Raptors players no longer care about the penalty area, their first priority is to guard Guo Xu. Even if Aruyu was on the court, the Raptors' defense in the penalty area was a mess and they lost two offensive rebounds.
During the timeout, two TNT commentators talked about Aruyu, thinking that this player was useless. He was also a Brazilian insider, and his strength was obviously not as good as Varejao, who was picked at the bottom of the first round. The Raptors made a serious mistake in selecting him.
Aruyu is 211cm tall and weighs 130kg. As a senior in college, he became the BYU Cougars' scoring leader with 18.4 points per game, 10.1 rebounds, and also led the team with 43 steals and 25 blocks in a single season. After the season, he was selected to the NCAA All-American Second Team by Basketball Times.
Looking at this outstanding college data, the Raptors, who lacked a center, selected Aruyu with the No. 8 pick in the first round of 2004. He was the first senior player selected at the time.
The Raptors scout really should be fired. Looking at his age, Aruyu went to school late in 1980 and was one year older than Guo Xu. Looking at his resume, he still has a big stain in the basketball world.
During the 2002 Men's Basketball World Championships, while playing for the Brazilian team, Aruyu tested positive for steroids and was banned from international competitions for two years by FIBA. Arruyu's test results were normal during Brigham Young University's drug test, simply because American universities do not check players' steroid use.
As we all know, the use of steroids has side effects. Nine of the ten fatalities in the bodybuilding circle are due to steroids. In China, most drugs containing steroids are prescription drugs, and their use is very strict. Because if used improperly, it will have adverse effects on the heart, liver, kidneys and other organs.
Arruyu relied on drugs to become a heavy, slow-responsive center. In college, he relied on his physical advantage to bully young people, but it was not feasible for him to enter the NBA. In his rookie season, Arruyu averaged 12.5 minutes per game, 3.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 0.1 blocks, shooting 43.4% from the field, and was still a black hole on the defensive end.
After the substitution, the Raptors' perimeter defense became tighter. On the offensive end, Calderon slowed down the pace and grounded the position meticulously. When the time was about to run out, Bosh and Rose had no time to play singles.
Guo Xu felt very uncomfortable and had the urge to strangle Calderon. It wasn't that he couldn't beat Calderon, but that the number of attacking rounds was reduced.
The Raptors' positional battle can force Guo Xu to pass the ball with constant double-teaming, and in the counterattack, the defender can only do his best.
Calderon's speed is no better than that of Chinese point guard Liu Wei, and he relies on skill to play. Guo Xu scored another 8 points in the next 4 minutes, all in a quick counterattack, breaking through without waiting for the double-team to come up. Calderon also paid the price for two fouls. Guo Xu made four free throws and two direct layups.
Unfortunately, he made two three-pointers and missed the opportunity to set the NBA's historical single-quarter scoring record.
The Suns led 36-29 in the first quarter. Guo Xu scored 30 points and 2 assists. David Lee, Howard and Varejao each scored two points.
In fact, his 30 points set a record. During the break, the two commentators were talking about it.
For some NBA teams, it is not easy for the team to score 30 points in a single quarter, let alone an individual scoring 30 points in a single quarter. Currently, there are only 5 people in NBA history who have scored 30+ points in a single quarter in a game. Guo Xu is the only one currently active. Neither Kobe Bryant nor Anthony has done it yet.
The other four are all famous players, Vernon Maxwell, Chamberlain, David Thompson, and George Gervin. Jordan, Bird, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and others have never done it.
Those four famous players only scored 30+ points in a single quarter once, but Guo Xu has done so four times in his career. This season he has scored three times, all of which were scored this month. In the 101-point game, he had two 30+ quarters, which is also a historical record.
Guo Xu still felt that the brushing was not satisfying enough, and his opponents were almost crying...
Barkley commented: Jason Guo is the craziest scorer in NBA history. His scoring efficiency is so scary. I think Flash is no longer a suitable nickname for him. Fans should think of a new one for him.
Smith asked, What nickname do you think would be appropriate for him?
Barkley said: I think the word 'legend' is very suitable as his nickname. Although he is still young and has a long career ahead of him, he is already a legend in the basketball world.
