Legend of Tomorrow

The Trail Blazers attacked. Gordon and Ade played a pick-and-roll, which attracted Ibaka to switch defense and distribute the ball to the center. This time Roy saw that he could not catch up with the defender, so he switched defense in the middle to face Ade.

Ade stepped near the free throw line and made a straight-arm jump shot. 15 to 4.

Ade is a power forward who is destined to become an All-Star. He can play inside and outside. Once he is out of position, it will be difficult for defenders to defend him. His jump shot point is very high.

When the Suns attacked, Guo Xu went to the frontcourt without looking for a cover. He waved his teammates away and singled out Gordon in the middle.

He dribbled the ball from the hip of his right hand to his left hand, changed direction and took a step to the right, but Gordon was not shaken away.

Guo Xu held the ball in his right hand and retreated to open up the space without haste. He dribbled the ball to his left hand from his crotch and changed direction to the right. The same movement, this time Guo Xu suddenly accelerated after Gordon moved laterally. He dribbled the ball behind his right hand and used his left hand to change direction to the left. He broke through Gordon sideways and drove straight into the penalty area from the middle.

Ade defended the basket, Guo Xu took advantage of the situation and passed the ball to the right baseline, and Ibaka made an open mid-range shot. 17 to 4.

It only took two rounds for Guo Xu to declare that Gordon's single defense was ineffective. If he couldn't get away once, he would move a few more times and he could always create a mobile phone opportunity. In terms of dribbling, no one in the league is better than Guo Xu. The ball seems to be stuck to his hands.

On the surface, he is 29 years old, but in fact, his dribbling proficiency and number of practice shots are similar to those of a 40-year-old veteran.

How could a person whose skills, consciousness, and body were at their peak be defended by a round-faced third grader?

It's not that McMillan overestimated his disciples, but that the Trail Blazers didn't have better defensive players on the outside, and 3D player Matthews joined the Cavaliers.

Next, the Trail Blazers began to double-team Guo Xu resolutely. Gasol couldn't let go when he was in the low post, so Miller had to step in. Guo Xu didn't hesitate at all when encountering this situation. He distributed the ball according to the situation and Roy took the ball.

In order to guard against Roy, the Blazers had to speed up their rotations. Jeff let Richardson go to cover up the defense. Roy and Guo Xu have similar playing styles. They attract the defense and distribute the ball. The ball is released very quickly. Richardson also catches and throws the ball.

In a single quarter, the Suns team made 10 three-pointers. This alone scored 30 points, leading 44 to 20.

Guo Xu made 5 of 6 shots, 3 of 3 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 15 points and 5 assists.

Roy made 4 of 5 shots.

He made 3 of 4 three-pointers and scored 11 points and 4 assists.

Richardson made 3 of 5 three-pointers, all from the outside, and scored 9 points.

Dragic, who came on as a substitute in the last three minutes, also scored a three-pointer. The Trail Blazers double-teamed Guo Xu. It was easy for the ball to open when the ball was moving, and it entered garbage time in the first quarter.

The Trail Blazers mainly rely on Ade and Gordon to score. The center and point guard lack shooting range, and Jeff Green is also a blacksmith.

Last season, Jeff averaged 15+6 per game and looked very good. His shooting percentage was only 45.3%, and his performance was still very unstable. Today is his best day. He has the third most possessions on the team, has few free throws, is not efficient, and has a true shooting percentage of only 53%.

In the second quarter, the Suns sent all substitutes, Dragic, Gerald Green, Grant Hill, Haslem, and O'Neal.

Soon the point difference widened to 35 points, and the Blazers' rotation was beaten.

Cousins ​​became the protagonist on the court again. He challenged O'Neal again and again, scoring 4 points on 2 of 6 shots, with extremely low efficiency. Probably to show his toughness, he also hit O'Neal twice in the low post.

McMillan was a little speechless with this newcomer. You can't even beat Gasol, a little fat guy, and you're going to beat a big fat guy?

This is not just a low golf IQ, but also a problem with IQ.

Most people don't understand the thinking behind the test when he was a rookie. Maybe he just wanted to prove his courage.

O'Neal did not go to beat Cousins ​​in the low post, but played like Gasol, pulling out to cover the defender and helping Dragic break through with the ball. O'Neal only scored one goal. After a pick-and-roll, he cut the ball and scored with two hands.

It would be more uncomfortable if O'Neal didn't attack the Trail Blazers, and Cousins' defensive strength advantage would not be fully utilized. Dragic would be overtaken if he was slower to switch.

The Trail Blazers' backup point guard is Patrick Mills, who is at a disadvantage even if he is able to catch up and defend.

Mills, who is 183cm, was tortured so badly by Guo Xu when he represented Australia in the 2008 Olympics that he had a mental problem and joined the draft a year late. After two years of college experience, he was selected with the fourth overall pick in the second round this year.

If Cousins ​​is willing to go out to cover Mills and let the defender catch the ball and shoot, the Suns will be difficult to defend. O'Neal is too slow to defend the pick-and-roll, but Cousins ​​is undercover again.

Guo Xu and other main players came back to play for half a quarter, leading by 40 points at the end of the half.

Guo Xu played 18 minutes and scored 27 points, 7 assists and 1 steal. In the second half, he was a spectator with several starters.

Barkley commented: If the Trail Blazers want to rise, they need a superstar to lead them. Aldridge is not good enough. He didn't have much to do against Ibaka today.

Ade can score, but his shooting percentage is average. Ibaka has height, wingspan, and a little less strength, which will not be a weakness against a shooting-focused power forward like Ade. As long as he reduces Ade's shooting percentage to less than 50%, he will win, because Ade does not shoot three-pointers, only two points.

Smith said: The Trail Blazers' lineup looks very promising, but that doesn't mean they can play well and make the playoffs. I estimate they will have to practice together for two years.

The second half of the match was surprising. Both sides sent out substitutes. O'Neal scored 10 points in a short while, making 4 of 5 shots and 2 of 4 free throws.

Camby couldn't score under O'Neal's defense. He didn't dare to hit the penalty area and went out to cover and was left empty. By this season, the lie that Camby is a super defensive player has long been exposed. O'Neal is about to retire, and it is easy to beat him one-on-one.

Who can Canby resist in the penalty area with a height of 211cm and a weight of 100kg? Yi Jianlian can beat him hard.

After O'Neal took a break, Cousins ​​came on to practice, but he still couldn't take advantage of Gortat. His shot selection was poor, and Gortat worked very hard on one-on-one defense, giving Cousins ​​a big block.

On the offensive end, Gortat cooperated with his teammates. He made air cuts after the pick-and-roll without forcing a strong hit. His shooting rate was very high. His teammates attracted double-teams. He also made a mid-range shot when he was left open.

Except for Peterson and Whiteside, who were not on the roster, everyone else in the Suns played.

In the last quarter, D'Antoni tried to use Jeremy Lin and Dragic to form a two-guard combination. The small forward was Gerald Green, power forward Haslem, and center Gortat.

Xiao Linzi also showed his special skills. He is very fast and good at chaotic fighting. Several others can also play fast breaks. The Suns made a lot of mistakes, but they were better than the Trail Blazers, who lacked the backbone of their offense.

Xiao Linzi is just a rookie now, but he has an advantage against the short guard Mills. During training in the team, he was abused by his teammates every day, but in official games, he no longer felt the pressure. It was not that he was weak, but that his teammates were too strong.

At the end of the game, 147-90, the Suns slaughtered the Trail Blazers with 57 points.

Barkley smiled: Just one game can tell how strong the Suns are as a whole. It will not be easy for other teams to prevent them from winning three consecutive championships and establishing a dynasty.

Smith lamented: If Roy hadn't been reimbursed and Jason injured his finger in 2008, I really don't know how many consecutive championships Solar Energy would have won. As long as Jason was here, they seemed invincible.

Barkley said: If he played long enough, he might be the scoring champion every year. He almost didn't play in the late quarters of the first two seasons, which affected his data. I think his scoring ability has completely surpassed Jordan.
