Chapter 391 [Don't flicker, just guard alone]
Guo Xu didn't have Kobe Bryant for dinner, and he hadn't chatted online for a long time. The relationship between the "OK group" broke down, and of course he chose to side with O'Neill, who was more compatible with his personality. Even when he was with the Lakers, he and Kobe Bryant didn't hang out very often, and the lifestyles of the two were too different.
If it was O'Neal who left at the beginning, let Guo Xu stay in the Lakers and Kobe Bryant to form an outside double gun, sooner or later there would be conflicts. Not to mention anything else, if he makes a movie in the summer, Kobe Bryant may be interviewed and sprayed that he is not doing his job. Kobe Bryant likes to use his own rules and regulations to restrain others, as if other people are doing things differently than he thinks is wrong.
Many people have this kind of personality when they are young, they always do stupid things that they think are kind, they want to help others reshape their lives, only to find that they need to reshape their lives.
Kobe Bryant's personality is generally in the second year of junior high school......
That night, the highlight of the national live broadcast Lakers VS Suns was about to be staged, and China's CCTV5 also broadcast the game live.
During the warm-up, the two commentators chatted about Team Rocket and Yao Ming.
In another game that just ended, the Rockets lost to the Grizzlies 71-90, which once again disappointed Rocket fans. With Jim Jackson on the team this year, many people thought the Rockets were a big boost, but it turned out to be that way at all.
With newcomer Jeff Van Gundy starting Yao and Cato together, the Rockets roster has serious flaws.
Even if Yao Ming pulls out and plays with the guard, the Rockets can't completely withdraw to the basket, which makes their offense extremely difficult. Because Cato, who can also only play center, starts at the No. 4 position, and has almost no attack power, the opponent can let him go when he is pulled out, and he can be followed by anyone in the low post. Only when the opponent goes to cover the defender can Cato miss the score.
What kind of waste is this, there are still a lot of people in the American media who blow Cato, saying that he is very tough, and his role in the Rockets cannot be reflected in data, and he protects Yao Ming very well.
Protect a claw, Yao Ming and Cato are head-to-head during team training, and the defender wants to die. Just looking at the ability to defend the restricted area, Yao Ming is also much stronger than Cato, what the Rockets lack is a big forward who can prevent blocking and dismantling, has strong mobility, and can also pull out to shoot.
Van Gundy made the two heavy interior group twin towers quite imaginative, which is simply a blessing for opponents, and now many Chinese fans who support the Rockets don't want to see the Rockets play the Suns, hoping that the two teams will meet later.
Before the game, "Zen Master" Phil Jackson emphasized the triangle offense, allowing O'Neal and Payton to play more. He also talked to Kobe Bryant alone and told him to pass the ball more and have a chance to shoot three points from the perimeter, but try not to force his shots against people.
Last season, Kobe Bryant made more shots from the outside, and the three-point shooting rate reached 38.3% of his career peak, and he made 12 three-pointers in January, tying Guo Xu's single-game three-point record, but this does not mean that Kobe Bryant can soar with Guo Xu for three points, he is very unstable outside the three-point line, shooting the opponent when his hand is hot, and shooting the Lakers when his hand is cold.
On the side of the Suns, the offensive tactics arranged by D'Antoni are very simple, which is to run and counterattack as much as possible, and use speed to drag down the Lakers' two star interior lines.
Suns five: Guo Xu, Ragapel, Marion, Stoudeyer, Diop.
Lakers five: Payton, Kobe, Devin George, Malone, O'Neal.
As soon as Diop appeared, O'Neill knew that Guo Xu didn't fool himself, this big man could indeed fight against him, his height and weight were here, and his arms were not too thick but his shoulders were very broad.
People talk about a player's physical condition, and few people pay attention to shoulder width. In fact, the shoulder width of the interior player is very important, because the card position, the key position, the block to grab the board, the shoulder width means that the player can occupy a larger area, more handy. O'Neal, Duncan, Malone, Brand and others, regardless of their height, are good at card positions related to shoulder width.
On the contrary, if a big man only has an arm span and narrow shoulders, then he may be better off the path of Durant, and he will suffer from positioning, grabbing boards, and defense, and it will be difficult to be a good interior player.
Zhang reasonably commented: "Today, the Suns didn't start with a small lineup, and they paid the same attention to defense as when they played the Spurs, and they came to the blue-collar team. ”
Xu Jicheng said: "Joe Johnson continues to come off the bench, it's not that his personal ability is inferior to Bale, but playing like this can make the Suns' rotation lineup more powerful, and he has the backbone when attacking." ”
Against the Cavaliers, Joe Johnson didn't play in the first half of the second quarter, and it was a bit of a mess to rely on rookie Blake to organize the Suns' offense, and D'Antoni won't make this kind of personnel mistake today, and every lineup must be led by someone who is good at attacking with the ball.
O'Neal jumped the ball and the game began.
Payton controlled the ball, Guo Xu stepped forward to defend closely, and the "glove" was not the kind of player who could take two steps casually.
Last season, Payton averaged 20.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game while shooting 45.4 percent from the field, 29.7 percent from three-point range and 71 percent from the free throw line.
Payton held the ball and Karl Malone played a block and dismantle in the middle, got rid of Guo Xu and attracted Xiao Si to change the defense and then split the ball to the middle. Ma Long took the ball and cut it empty, even if he was old, that body of muscles like a bodybuilder was not something that Guo Xu could resist.
Malone was blocked by Diop when he hit the basket, but he is not a player who can only play strongly, he has averaged more than 4 assists per game for many seasons in his career, and he can still win the regular season MVP at the age of 36.
He leaned on Diop and single-handedly passed the ball from his side to the basket on the right side. Diop didn't see how he passed, and naturally he wouldn't turn back to defend. O'Neill receives the ball and smashes the ball with both hands. 0 to 2.
The Suns attack, the players pull away. Diop stood in the low post on the left side to attract the defense, Guo Xu and Xiao Si in the middle to block and dismantle, the same tactics Lakers are more uncomfortable to defend, Payton is now 35 years old, and he will be 36 at the end of this season, and one of his biggest declines is speed.
Guo Xu changed direction to get rid of the right side, this is Bell who only has the bottom corner on the weak side, Malone changed the defense to block his breakthrough route, Payton chased the defense to form a bag, Guo Xu hit the ball in the gap between the two and passed it to Xiao Si in the middle.
Xiao Si was unguarded in the high position, and the mid-range shot hit steadily. 2 to 2.
When returning to the defense, Xiao Si and Guo Xu clapped their hands. If last season's offense was blocked, because Xiao Si's shot was inaccurate, O'Neal would be waiting for him near the penalty area if he cut in the air, and Xiao Si's ability to divide the ball after attracting and supplementing the defense was relatively poor, and he could rarely transfer it to teammates who had a chance in time.
At present, Xiao Si's response ability is still ordinary, but he doesn't have to rush to the basket to challenge O'Neal after practicing his mid-range shot. He also personally realized the benefits of scoring on the jump shot, which was simple and labor-saving, and pulling away could help Guo Xu create heads-up opportunities.
The Lakers attacked, Payton blocked and dismantled again, this time Guo Xu paid attention to the movement on the side, retreated first, and then bypassed Ma Long, successfully pursued the defense in the three-point line, and blocked Payton without forming a dislocation.
The guard is fast, and the defensive end can play a certain role, and when Guo Xu is active in defense, it is not easy for the opponent's point guard to get rid of it.
Payton relied on his height advantage to drop the ball to O'Neal in the low post on the right, and O'Neal squeezed Diop twice with his back, turned to the baseline and threw the board to score. 2 to 4.
Although O'Neal scored, Diop was not squeezed out of position and kept interfering in front of him, with him, the Suns didn't have to wrap up, and the big sharks couldn't easily dunk under the basket.
The defensive plan of the Suns coaching staff is to defend the stars alone, strictly prevent the Lakers' outside three-pointers, and then fight for offensive efficiency, the key lies in Guo Xu's play. (https:)
