Legend of Tomorrow

When the Suns attacked, Guo Xu brought the ball to the frontcourt and did not wait for Stoudemire to come up to cover. He dribbled the ball from his crotch to his left hand and suddenly stepped back to shoot a three-pointer. He avoided Fisher's block and scored, 7-6.

One meter from the three-point line is Guo Xu's normal shooting range. In the preseason, he got his shooting touch back. His role players did not perform well. He also led the team to win many games with his personal ability.

When the Suns attacked, Stoudemire used a forward approach to defend against Bogut. Joe Johnson passed the ball to Odom, who moved to the middle to receive the ball. The latter attracted Haslem to defend and hit high, and then passed the ball to the running back with a step. Got to Bogut on the left.

Odom lacks the scoring skills, but his playing style is very charming and his golf IQ is high. He can quickly move the ball to the right position and make his teammates catch it comfortably. Bogut leaned on Stoudemire, turned around and hooked the ball in the middle, and scored from close range. 7 to 8.

Bogut and Odom clapped their hands when they returned to defense. After two years of running in, they also had a tacit understanding. This kind of internal pass and internal cooperation is very difficult for opponents to double-team, especially when the Suns start with only Stoudemire, a big man over 205cm tall.

Stoudemire's ability to guard Bogut last season largely relied on the performance of outside stars, making it difficult for Bogut to catch the ball. Now Lakers players can target the Suns' defensive weaknesses instead of challenging defensive experts.

Guo Xu took a deep breath, knowing that today's game was not easy to play, and the Lakers had indeed become stronger. They were not weak last season, they just needed time to adjust. This season, we have maintained a well-integrated lineup, only replacing two people with Kobe Bryant. Battier and Joe Johnson happen to be the kind of team players who can easily integrate into the team.

The Suns attacked, Guo Xu and Stoudemire played a pick-and-roll and then split the ball. Stoudemire's layup missed due to Odom's interference. Joe Johnson grabbed the rebound and passed it to start a counterattack.

Fisher passed the ball to Artest who was about to leave. The latter relied on Parker and missed the layup in three steps. Guo Xu picked up the rebound.

Although the goal was not scored, it was a good opportunity. The Lakers played a variety of offenses and did not play at the same rhythm. Although Artest's scoring ability is unstable, he can occasionally use his body to attack.

The other Lakers players quickly returned to defense and did not allow the Suns to counterattack quickly. Guo Xu singled out Fisher and forced a breakthrough to attract help from the defense. Haslem missed the open mid-range shot.

After four consecutive championships, Suns players have been having a lot of fun in the summer. Even Haslem hasn't practiced much. This year, his mid-range shooting percentage has dropped a bit, and his long-range mid-range shooting rate is only 37.9%.

The two sides fought fiercely and evenly matched in the first quarter, with the Suns leading by one point 34 to 33.

The Lakers mainly focus on positional warfare.

If the Suns didn't send Varejao, they would attack the penalty area. Stoudemire and Haslem couldn't guard Bogut. Stoudemire has never been good at protecting the frame, and his defense in the penalty area is far less stable than Varejao.

Last season, the Suns' defensive efficiency was average and they conceded a lot of points. Their 78 wins in the regular season relied on strong offense to kill the opponent. They are also taking this route this season. This is why the front office doesn't want to keep David Lee, and him playing with Stoudemire is a pure disaster. Now the disaster has happened to the Nets. David Lee and Krstic are both strong offensively and weak defensively, and the team has a poor record.

Of course, Stoudemire didn't have nothing to do with Bogut. He tried to let him take the shot away from the basket. He could still foul when the opponent hit the basket. Bogut's free throw shooting rate was not very stable, and he made 2 of 4 free throws.

Stoudemire took a break after two fouls. Varejao came out and Bogut couldn't play alone. The Lakers' offensive focus shifted to the outside. At this time, the Suns had the upper hand. Guo Xu was able to attract double-teams and assist his teammates, but Fisher could not guard him alone.

Guo Xu scored 12 points and 4 assists in a single quarter. The Lakers didn't have much to do with him. They could only send people to attack him, forcing him to pass the ball and rely on rotation defense in other positions.

In the second half, Bogut took a break and was replaced by Turiaf, who was more mobile and had good defensive ability. The Lakers double-teamed Guo Xu and tried their best to let Varejao and Haslem shoot, which had some effect.

In the second quarter, the Suns sent Lowry, Lagar Bell, Grant Hill, Tim Thomas, and Stoudemire.

The Lakers' five players are Farmar, Ellis, Battier, Brian Cook, and Bogut.

Judging from the reputation of the players, it seems that the Suns' rotation lineup was better, but they suffered a loss during the game. The Lakers quickly overtook the score and gradually gained a 6-point lead.

Ellis has become the key to the Lakers' offense. He and Cook can break through in pick-and-rolls, and it is difficult for Bell to catch up without double-teaming him. If Ellis is double-teamed, he can pass it to Cook for a shot, or he can pass the ball to Bogut for a single, forming a triangle with Farmar and Battier.

Ellis was one of the last players in the league to participate in the draft as a high school student. He scored 4,000 points while playing for the traditional powerhouse Laney High School. Ellis was raised by his grandmother and his family was poor. This caused him to be as thin as a ribs when he took the physical test, and his physical test data was mediocre and he fell into the second round.

However, just one year later, Ellis's physical fitness improved significantly after his diet kept up with his nutrition. He showed amazing explosive power and speed on the court. It was difficult for the No. 2 player to keep up with him. The Suns' defensive expert Bell also no.

Bell is a player born in 1976. He is 31 years old this year. He was not very fast at his peak. He is good at physical confrontation and personal interference. It is difficult for him to stick to Ellis, a face-to-face defender.

Bogut is also a threat in the low post. Lowry, who is 183cm, will definitely not be able to retreat to help Stoudemire to defend. Hill on the wing assisted once, and Battier caught the ball at 70 degrees on the right and hit a three-pointer.

On the defensive end, the Lakers did a better job, allowing Suns players to take shots farther away from the basket.

The Suns also had bright spots. Lowry took a step laterally after the pick-and-roll, and hit a three-pointer with a pull-up jumper on the right side. He also had two successful breakthroughs, one scoring a layup and one assisting Stoudemire for a one-handed dunk.

Lowry's shooting level has improved this season, with a 37.6% long-range shooting percentage. He averages 1.1 field goals in 14 minutes per game and is very decisive in his outside shots.

In the summer, only one player on the Suns team conducted high-intensity training, and that was Lowry.

Lowry was born to fight his destiny. His basketball enlightenment came from bullfighting with his brother Lonnie. Facing older opponents, Lowry, who had no advantage in height and weight, tasted defeat time and time again, but he never surrendered in his heart. This innate fearlessness has helped Lowry complete challenges one after another in the NBA.

The greatest talent he had was constant training. Does the coaching staff think his three-point ability is not good enough? practice!

In Guo Xu's previous life, Lowry practiced three-pointers in the fifth season of his career, but now the time has been advanced. Because the teams he joins are different, the tasks assigned to him by the coaching staff are also different. D'Antoni asked him to focus on shooting three-pointers and breakthroughs on the offensive end. He coached three positions in front of the frame and did not need to practice the bottom corners.

High-intensity training is Lowry's label. Even after arranging various activities, Lowry will strictly implement his training plan. In addition to celebrating the birthdays of his teammates, the rest of his social platforms are basically I am training.

Lowry never drinks carbonated drinks and almost cuts off desserts, butter and the like. His diet only includes water, protein, vegetables and salads. He is a typical paranoid who likes to use training to push himself and crush himself.

This guy is destined to succeed no matter which team he joins.

Guo Xu came back from a 6-minute rest, and the Suns quickly overtook the score, ending the first half with a 5-point lead.

Both sides scored very efficiently but could not open up the score. Today is destined to be a wonderful battle...()
