Legend of Tomorrow

When the Lakers attacked, Guo Xu still took two steps to defend. Parker did not intend to shoot for the third time in a row and dribbled the ball to the right to prepare to pass to Kobe who wanted the ball in the low post.

Parker has a height advantage. In theory, Guo Xu's pass will not be easily intercepted, but this is only theoretical. Guo Xu walked to the right as if taking a walk, and then Parker found a very embarrassing situation. He couldn't pass the ball to Kobe.

Guo Xu walked up to Kobe and Laga Bell, forming a double team without the ball. He and Kobe did not have physical contact, but blocked the passing route. If Parker insists on passing the ball to Kobe at this time, the chance of making a mistake is very high. High, whether it's a ground pass or a high ball, Guo Xu's jumping ability is at the level of a dunk king.

Zen Master Jackson on the sidelines was stunned. He could actually defend Kobe so much? Is this forcing role players to shoot?

Most teams double-team Kobe behind the ball, because his shooting range is not far, so he doesn't seem to have to worry about the three-point line.

In fact, after receiving the ball from the outside, Kobe can move to his favorite position to attack. Once he finds the rhythm, it will be difficult for him to be double-teamed to prevent him from scoring. After all, Kobe has both strength and speed, excellent explosive power, top-notch coordination and flexibility, and his overall physical fitness ranks among the top ten in the league.

If the Raptors and Mavericks defended Kobe like this, it would be impossible for him to set a record.

Kobe immediately changed his playing style. Usually he would run without the ball to the other side to catch the ball in the low post, and his teammates would also move to cooperate with him to create a weak side.

Kobe just took two steps when he found that his position was occupied. Guo Xu did not follow and was still double-teamed without the ball. Moreover, he was double-teamed by three people, Bell, David Lee and Bogut.

Damn it, why are you still here? You've identified the low position, right?

Bogut was also a little confused. Who am I? where am I? What on earth am I doing?

He really can't understand the triangle offense at the moment, and he doesn't understand how the Lakers' formation is like a triangle. In his rookie season, he was asked to coordinate with the boss's running positions. It was too difficult for him to do.

Bogut's current tactical role is no better than that of Kwame Brown. In other words, the two have the same task in the Lakers. On the offensive end, they provide cover for teammates, look for opportunities to pick up a few missed shots, and on the defensive end, they guard the penalty area.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Kwame scored 7.4 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1 assist in 27.5 minutes, shooting 52.6% from the field. His efficiency was not bad, but he only shared playing time with Chris Mihm and played a shorter time.

Now that the Lakers don't have Mihm or Baby Shark Bynum as a fringe player, Bogut is under greater pressure and the team needs him to give his best on the defensive end.

No suitable offensive tactics will be arranged for him.

In the history of the team, the Lakers have always poached high-level star insiders through trades and free market signings, rather than cultivating newcomers into stars. Jackson was particularly merciful to let Bogut play more than 30 minutes, and he was already a Zen Master. It's because the team lacks good insiders.

When Bynum joined the Lakers with the 10th overall pick, he only averaged 7.3 minutes of playing time per game in his rookie season despite not being inferior to Bogut in physical condition. He was a marginal player. It wasn't until his fifth season that Bynum averaged 30.4 minutes per game in Jackson's system.

Parker passed to Odom, and Odom passed to Kobe, who ran to the outside. He changed sides and singled out Bell, which was not the low post he liked. In fact, at this time, Kobe only needs to hang up to Bogut to get a chance, and David Lee has an obvious physical advantage in singles.

However, Kobe was very annoyed with Bogut and refused to pass the ball. He also couldn't trust Bogut's power-play shooting percentage of less than 55%. So he chose to make a jump shot in front of Bell. The offensive rhythm was not good, and it missed the basket due to interference. David Lee grabbed the rebound.

The Suns immediately launched a counterattack, but Parker did not press. Guo Xu easily received the pass and reached the frontcourt in a few steps.

Parker knew that his speed was inferior and he was afraid of being passed. When defending, he followed Guo Xu back step by step and did not dare to step forward. He stepped forward to gamble and steal but failed. Guo Xu got away as soon as he changed direction. It happened too many times.

Unconsciously, Parker retreated to the three-point line. Guo Xu slowed down his dribbling and took a step outside the three-point line to shoot a three-pointer. After Parker stopped suddenly and then moved forward to defend, it was difficult to take off, so he could only use his height advantage to try to interfere with his hands.

This slight interference is of no use to Guo Xu. He can predict whether the opponent can block the shot through distance. He has nearly ten years of experience in facing people and can guarantee his hit rate as long as his shooting rhythm is not disrupted.

Now Guo Xu trains three-pointers every day, catching and shooting around the top of the arc. He shoots 100 consecutive shots and his hit rate is always around 90%. It is common to hit more than 50 goals in a row without anyone defending him. He is in the best condition. In one of his 100 shots, he conceded two.

The Lakers don't double-team, and his three-pointers are 9 out of 10 and go into the net. 10 to 5.

When the Lakers attacked, Guo Xu took two steps back and stood next to Kobe. Seeing that Parker was hesitant, he spoke directly.

You're free! Shoot quickly! Don't waste time, I still have to perform.

Parker suddenly wanted to cry. He could remember these words for a lifetime. How much do you have to look down on him to make such a request?

Kobe, who was behind Guo Xu, was also speechless. He really wanted to go out and slap his teammate to death. In fact, Guo Xu deliberately told Kobe. If Kobe and Parker start a scolding war in the future, maybe he will mention it to the media. After all, Kobe is also a big talker and he loves to be interviewed and reveal news.

As long as this word spreads, it may be remembered by fans like Bird's classic jokes many years later.

Parker came from a playing field and was the most unprovoked. He gritted his teeth and shot another three-pointer from the outside. This time he felt good and the ball went hollow into the net. 10 to 8.

When Parker was a child, his family was very poor. Faced with the pressure of life, he tried to find comfort elsewhere. He spends time on the court every day with a group of guys who look a little crazy. To become the god of death on the street court requires constant experience and even torture.

Parker has proven himself on the street court. It's not that he lacked performance at the beginning**. It was because he was not reused in the NBA and was quiet for many years before smoothing out the edges. When he was drafted, he still dreamed of becoming a point guard for the Knicks.

After losing the draft and playing for the Cavaliers for one season, Parker was ignored and was forced to go to Europe to receive new basketball concepts and systematic training. His hard training lasted for two months and finally joined the Greek club Aris. .

He has played 10 games in the European Super League, averaging 18.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 1.7 steals in 35.3 minutes per game. He won the Player of the Week title twice and scored 50 points in the Greek All-Star Game.

Guo Xu's words ignited a fire in the God of Death's heart, and he exploded.

Go ahead and pass the ball to Kobe according to the coach's instructions. If I have an opening, I will take the right shot. If the defensive intensity continues, I will keep shooting.

Parker became more active on the defensive end and began to get close to Guo Xu. He warned himself that he should not be timid even if he was passed. That sentence inspired the raw power he had when playing with the gangsters on the field, the drive to never back down.

Guo Xu first ran to the right corner, and then slid to the other side. Haslem and David Lee gave Guo Xu an elevator door screen in the low post on the left, and Parker was firmly blocked.

Bogut was a little slow in changing defense, but Odom was maneuverable enough to catch up. Guo Xu feinted and changed direction after receiving Blake's pass, and relied on speed to pass Odom, who couldn't stop the car. He was in the corner. A quick stop and a jump shot. 12 to 8.

The home fans applauded wildly. They can accept that Guo Xu is often lazy on the defensive end, because he can always score when attacking.
