Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 768 [Mute at the home court, escape from desperate situation]

How is it? Can you continue playing? D'Antoni asked worriedly.

When it comes to the bayonet fight in the final quarter, the Suns need Guo Xu's performance, but D'Antoni is afraid that his leg injury will be aggravated if he plays too long and wants him to rest for a while. If Guo Xu doesn't rest in this quarter, the whole game will last 36 minutes, which is very risky for a person who has fractured his fibula for 20 days.

Guo Xu smiled and said: I just can't run and jump at full speed. My physical strength is not a problem. I will rest when it comes to garbage time. If the score cannot be opened, I will continue to play.

His teammates were all in awe of Guo Xu. In their opinion, Guo Xu endured pain while playing and his training time was too short.

In fact, his legs didn't hurt at all, just like normal people. The difference is that his physical fitness is limited in the time loop. It feels like playing basketball in slippers. The skills and awareness are there, but he can't get up fast.

After coming out, Guo Xu's speed increased, so he had to adjust some of his strength by himself. He chose a cautious style of play, trying to keep the strength consistent with the cycle.

Therefore, Guo Xu has a trump card. If the score between the two sides is deadlocked until the end, and he suddenly speeds up and hits two key balls, it will have an unexpected effect. He believes that just a few balls will not cause major problems in his legs.

The final quarter of the game begins with the Suns' five players: Guo Xu, Bell, Roy, Marion, and Stoudemire.

Spurs five: Parker, Ginobili, Bowen, Granger, Duncan.

In Guo Xu's previous life, if both players were at their peak, this series would be the All-Star Game. A combination of four All-Star players plus a 3D role player.

D'Antoni was very domineering. Duncan made 4 of 4 shots in the last quarter, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 10 points and 5 rebounds. He still did not replace Varejao to strengthen defense and resolutely fought for offense. Haslem, who has better defense, is also on the bench. It is easier to counterattack by playing Marion in the 4th position.

Zhang Lili commented: Guo Xu's assists today must have been 20. The Suns' offense was very smooth when he was on the court. The ball had to pass through his hands in every round.

Yu Jia said: Both sides have a chance to win. This game is so exciting. The point difference has never widened.

The Suns attacked first, and Stoudemire set a screen for Guo Xu just after halftime, blocking Parker.

Duncan stepped on the three-point line and waited for Guo Xu to come forward. Guo Xu has only taken 4 shots in total so far. He feels that he is in ordinary condition and has no strong desire to attack. Duncan did not force out.

As a result, Guo Xu changed direction to avoid Parker and took a shot from two meters outside the three-point line in the middle. Parker chased from behind and had no time to block the shot. Duncan did not save the ball to interfere. The ball drew a beautiful arc and hit the net hollowly.

88 to 88, Guo Xu’s 8th point.

Zhang Lijia said: Guo Xu's specialty has appeared. He dares to shoot no matter how far away from the basket he is.

Yu Jia said: This goal boosts morale, but the Suns must defend it if they want to win.

When the Spurs attacked, Bell put Parker two meters away, retreated to the free throw line, and shouted at Parker: Shoot, what are you waiting for?

No one on either team wants to be eliminated, and this is the Suns' most likely season to make history. Bell is not a good-tempered person. Not only did he choke Kobe, he also spat trash-talking at the referee and received a technical foul. When guarding Parker, he provoked him whenever he had the opportunity.

Parker frowned. He hated hearing this kind of provocation from his opponent because he didn't have the confidence to shoot a three-pointer, even if Bell retreated farther.

Parker knows that Bell has strong individual defense ability, does not force sudden breakthroughs, and controls the ball from the outside. In Guo Xu's previous life, this was Parker's peak season. He won the FMVP after the Spurs defeated the Cavaliers in the Finals. Even at his peak, he rarely shot three-pointers.

In the playoffs, Parker averaged 21 points and 5.8 rebounds per game, shooting 48% from the field, but only 33.3% from three-point range, hitting 0.4 in 1.1 attempts.

The Suns' defensive tactics were man-to-man, and Guo Xu went to defend Bowen again. For the simplest task, the Spurs still let Bowen play because he was better at guarding Roy.

The Spurs players passed the ball back and forth to try to improve the success rate, but there was no time left and finally it was handed over to Duncan. The Suns players shrank near the penalty area, and Duncan's mid-range jumper missed the basket due to slight interference from Stoudemire.

The Suns' defense worked, double-teaming Duncan in the low post and letting him take mid-range shots. Duncan's mid-range threat is much smaller than that of playing in the low post, with only a 40% shooting rate. As an inside lineman, he has a good shooting percentage, but he cannot be used as the main offensive method.

In the finals, Duncan performed mediocrely when facing the Cavaliers' Big Z and Varejao, and did not win the FMVP. The Cavaliers' defense was successful, and the Suns also used that method. Duncan could score, but his efficiency was not particularly high.

Marion grabbed the rebound and passed it to Roy, who faced Ginobili and dribbled the ball to midfield and passed it to Guo Xu.

Guo Xu caught the ball and headed towards Bowen. This choice made the Spurs players very uncomfortable. Bowen's defense against Guo Xu is misplaced. If Parker lets Bell go to guard Guo Xu at this time, Bell will be empty. This is a player with accurate three-pointers.

Guo Xu slowed down one meter outside the three-point line on the left, dribbled back from his hip, and then changed direction with a fake move after worshiping the Buddha. Bowen took a fake move and took a step forward to interfere with the shot, but was passed. Guo Xu slowed down and was faster than the 36-year-old veteran Bowen.

And Bowen didn't dare to make any small moves against Guo Xu today. If he is facing other people, it is common for him to stretch out his thigh to nudge them when he is about to be passed. Does he dare to stand up to Guo Xu? If Guo Xu hugs his legs and walks on the ground, it will not be as simple as being scolded by fans or suspended from the game, but whether he can live stably past 40 years old.

No matter who hurts Guo Xu at this time, the end will be worse than Vujacic.

Guo Xu broke into the penalty area from the middle, attracting Granger to defend and pass the ball to the left side. Marion received the ball and made a layup, easily scoring on the board. 90 to 88. Guo Xu’s 19th assist.

The Spurs attacked, and Parker was placed two meters away again. This time he chose to shoot a three-pointer from an open position, but the ball missed.

The ball bounced far, Roy grabbed the backcourt rebound and immediately passed it to Guo Xu for a fast break.

He shot a three-pointer from two meters outside the left three-point line. Bowen retreated relatively far this time. Bowen is good at guarding swingmen, but he doesn't move fast enough against defenders and is afraid of being passed by again.

Bowen hurried forward with only a slight interference. Guo Xu shot with a tiptoe, almost no jump, and his shooting style was like Spain's Bomb Navarro. Even if Bowen wanted to take off from such a height, he couldn't do it, and the ball flew neatly into the basket.

Guo Xu's shooting style has always been defensive. Unless he rushes directly to hurt someone with malicious intent, it will be difficult for his opponent to catch him.

93 to 88, Guo Xu scored 11th point.

After this goal, people who supported the Spurs had an ominous premonition. Everyone could see that the situation had become somewhat unfavorable to the Spurs. Guo Xu was a well-known convulsive player, and his touch was terrifying.

When Guo Xu returned to defense, he gestured with his right index finger on his mouth and made a hush gesture to the audience on both sides. At this moment, the Spurs' home court seemed to be muted.

Popovich requested a timeout. These two three-pointers made the Suns morale high, and they had to make adjustments to suppress their offensive momentum.

Zhang Lili said: Guo Xu is really too strong. He doesn't need to practice shooting three-pointers at all. He can shoot no matter how hard he shoots.

Yu Jia laughed and said: Before, he stayed in Los Angeles to recuperate and stayed at a friend's house, who is Britney's husband. It is said that he also practiced singing with Britney. After resting like this for 20 days, he was able to perform well on the stage. It is incredible. .”

Zhang Lili said: Bowen can guard against Roy, but cannot guard against the injured Guo Xu. This is the difference between a rookie and a superstar.

President Stern, who was watching the live TV broadcast, had a hunch that as long as Guo Xu was no longer injured, the Suns would be able to survive this series...
