Chapter 1129 [This is really a perfect opponent]
The Eagles' current inside and outside core is Zach Randolph and Jeff Teague.
"Black Bear" Randolph has long passed his prime, and is recognized as a black hole in interior defense, averaging 15.4 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game this season.
Teague is nicknamed "Yun Mamba" by Chinese fans, and this is a man with a story. Fans say that he dribbles like a mamba, but he is perfectly invisible at critical moments, and in these two seasons he only has Randolph and himself in his eyes, God blocks the Eagles, and Buddha blocks the Eagles. He was especially bad when playing against the wind, playing iron frantically and often throwing three non-sticks.
In the parallel world, Teague has had an excellent record, and that's because of Millsap and Horford on the team, and those two are now not half-nimes related to the Hawks.
Worst of all, Teague is also a big hole on the defensive end, with stats showing that Teague has a defensive efficiency of 112.6 this season, ranking 296th in the league as a whole.
The young player that the Eagles focus on cultivating is dunk Aaron Gordon, who is not strong enough to play power forward and has average skills to play small forward. If Gordon plays small forward, it will overlap with Otto Porter, the 2013 roster.
The rookie class of 2013 is admittedly bad, and Porter, even if he is developing well, has become the Hawks' starting small forward this season. He averaged 30.4 minutes per game, 11.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.4 steals while shooting 47.6 percent from the field and 36.8 percent from three-point range.
The average Hawks start point guard is Kyle Korver, who is not fast enough on the defensive end, which is about a black hole.
In short, the Hawks' defense is the bottom three in the league, and the head coach is not Mike Budenholzer of the Spurs, but Lionel Hollins, who can't even see the defensive system, but is dominated by man-to-man.
Guo Xu wants to get a high score, this is really a perfect opponent, and there is no need to save face for them at all.
Because of the big difference in strength between the two sides, the game was only broadcast live on local stations. China's CCTV5 and Tencent both broadcast the Lakers game live, and they have barely lost a game this season. Chinese fans advocate individual heroism, and what they like to watch the most is the star soaring points, and if the Lakers choose other games if they don't broadcast one day, many people will be dissatisfied.
After the warm-up, the two sides made their debuts. Suns five: Guo Xu, Seth Curry, Vince Carter, Al Horford, Nurkic.
Let Curry start, in order to defend a little worse, for fear that the Hawks will lose too quickly. Tyrone Lu is a great puppet coach, he knows what Guo Xu wants, and arranges the formation as much as possible in his heart.
Guo Xu will not grab the coach's tactical board, because Tyrone Lu himself doesn't need a tactical board, his tactics are generally dictated directly, which is to find ways to hand over the ball to the boss and create a chance for the boss to cover!
Eagles starters: Teague, Korver, Porter, Randolph, Spencer Hawes.
The Hawks made a mistake by not letting Chris Humphries, who came in a mid-term trade, play again. Hawes moved too slowly, played only one season with the Clippers and was purged from the team, and his pick-and-roll defense was terrible.
Occasionally, coach Hollins will also use Randolph as a cameo center to play small-ball tactics, so that the overall defense will be extremely poor. The opponent passed to the inside single, and Randolph could only resist it with strength, and it was difficult for the bounce and height to interfere with the shot.
As soon as Guo Xu looked at the Eagles' lineup, he knew that today's extra practice shooting would not be in vain, which was exactly what he wanted. If the Hawks had partnered Gordon and Randolph on the inside, they would have switched defenses faster and would not have been able to score as well.
Nurkic jumped the ball to win, and the Lakers attacked first.
Horfodra went to the perimeter to receive the ball and pulled Randolph out, Guo Xu ran from the left side to the right side of the baseline, and ran off the ball with Nurkic to run for a chance.
Teague was slow to chase the defense, Hawes was also slow to change the defense, Guo Xu received the ball and shot easily in the bottom corner of the right side, hollow into the net, 3-0.
Zhang Li said: "Guo Xu shot three points at the beginning, and he felt good today, hoping to keep it up." ”
Yu Jia said: "He is now averaging 47.2 points per game, his performance is very terrifying, and he has scored 30+ points in all games so far, and if he ends up with 30+ in 82 games, it will definitely be a super historical record that no one can break in the future." ”
The Eagles attacked, Guo Xu began to release water in the first round, and put Teague two meters away and straightened up, and no one in the football game was so defended except for the free kick and the wall.
Teague is shooting a career-high 40.1 percent from three-point range this season and averaging 1.4 shots per game. He took aim and hit a shot and returned a three-pointer. 3 to 3.
The Lakers attacked, and as soon as the halftime Nurkic made a cover for Guo Xu, he moved sideways to avoid Teague, and made a three-point pullup jump shot from one meter outside the three-point line on the right side.
Teague is very fast, still slightly inferior to Guo Xu, and the chase defense failed to cover. Hawes was far away from Guo Xu and close to the three-point line without switching defenses, which was an easy shot to score. 6 to 3.
The atmosphere at the Staples Center was stirred up, with all the fans applauding, and movie star Jack Nicholson, who was sitting in the front row, gave Guo Xu a thumbs up and the cameraman gave him a close-up.
After 2010, Nicholson rarely went to the Lakers' home court to watch games. Before that, he had two hard-to-buy seats on the bench and was known as the Lakers' mascot. In 2013, Nicholson was so disappointed with his favorite Lakers that he wanted to buy the Lakers, and he wanted to coach himself, boasting that he was second in the league in coaching ability.
Now that Guo Xu is back, the old man is also back to cheer.
The Eagles attacked, Guo Xu continued to put Teague two meters away, and used the skill "not defending" at the beginning.
It's not the first time that Teague has been treated like this by Guo Xu, except for the first two seasons when Guo Xu retired and was absent, there will be two times in each season. Teague felt humiliated when he first entered the league, but now he is used to it. In the past, he thought that Guo Xu did this because he looked down on him, but now he understands that Guo Xu just wants to play for a while.
As long as he is confident of defeating his opponent, Guo Xu dares to let go of a star like Paul to shoot at a distance at will. What really tests them as point guards is not the offense, but the defense of Guo Xu. For the sake of face, they had to find a way not to let Guo Xu get a super high score.
Teague took aim, and made another three-point jumper in the middle, Guo Xu didn't even stretch out his hand, and the ball went in again. 6 to 6.
Teague was happy for a moment, his personal record for a single three-point game was four shots, and today he felt good, and seemed to have hope of breaking the personal record, and he could break more than one ball.
When he thought so, in fact, the offensive rhythm had been disrupted by Guo Xu. He's a break-through guard, mid-to-long-range shooting isn't his forte, and he doesn't shoot much.
The Lakers attacked, Nurkic came up to block and dismantle in the half, and after Guo Xu moved sideways with the ball, Randolph and Teague were sandwiched. Guo Xu immediately distributed the ball to Horford and ran to the bottom left corner.
Horford brought a high position to respond, Guo Xu slipped to the bottom line and ran the position, this kind of ball opponent is not easy to do, so the guard can only follow. After covering without the ball, Guo Xu received the ball in the bottom corner, and Teague chased and defended in place.
Guo Xu took a step to the left side first, dribbled the ball behind his left hand to the bottom line, quickly started past Teague, and took one step to avoid Hawes's block.
He didn't have the strength to hit the iron well, but Nurkic was empty under the basket and easily grabbed the rebound in the front court to make up for the basket. 8 to 6.
The Lakers are so strong now, as long as they form a triangle offensive position, Nurkic and Curry Jr. can play efficient performances, and they can get simple shots after Guo Xu attracts the center of gravity of the defense.
Teague dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Guo Xu was still unguarded, and he made his third consecutive outside shot, and the ball was deflected......
