Chapter 1166 [Final!] Two Extremes of Defense]

Before the start of the finals, a fan on the Internet edited a funny video called "Two Extremes of Defense, Jason Guo of the Regular Season and the Playoffs".

In the regular season, Guo Xu was a frequent guest of TNT Radio, and the video material was very easy to find. He is not defensive, defending around the back and throwing two meters at will are pediatrics, and in order to make the opponent better breakthrough, he will even choose to dodge people.

The opponent broke through, Guo Xu straightened up, looked up at the sky, it was really embarrassing to the limit, Uchiha Harden's writing wheel eye and Guo Xu's kaleidoscope writing wheel eye are completely incomparable.

The second half of the video is Guo Xu's playoff defense highlights, he is close to each other, quickly chasing and interfering with shots, accurately predicting the defensive frame to reach out and steal, and helping the defense to sneak attack and steal from behind.

In the video, there is a helpless expression of the point guard opposite him, and the data of Guo Xu and the guard opposite him in each round of the playoffs are listed in the form of subtitles.

No one else scored in double figures, but Curry was the only point guard to score in double figures, averaging 23 points and 5.2 assists per game, but shooting only 43.1% from the field and 35.5% from three-point range.

After watching this video, fans can understand why the Lakers with a poor lineup can eliminate the Warriors. Guo Xu is a defensive black hole in the regular season, and in the playoffs he is a defensive expert, who looks better than Chris Paul and will hardly be passed.

Looking at the playoffs, the Lakers are a team with three defensive specialists.

In the Finals, if Roberson defends Wade and Tucker defends James, maybe the Lakers don't need to be packed. The Nets definitely can't do it if they don't include Guo Xu, this is the biggest advantage of the Lakers.

On June 2, the NBA Finals kicked off at the Staples Center, and the Lakers played two home games first.

As soon as Guo Xu appeared, the home fans burst into earth-shattering cheers, and the Lakers exploded the Nets. In addition to some celebrities and celebrities who came to watch the game in the front row, many fans spontaneously unified their attire and wore Guo Xu's No. 58 purple and gold jersey.

James was booed by the fans when he played, for the simple reason that he was fighting for the championship in a group, and James always found fault with his teammates and threw the blame on the loss. With the exception of Jammy, there are very few people who look at James pleasing to the eye now.

It's clear that Lakers fans don't like James. Listening to the boos, James felt that he had no chance with the Lakers in this life. He really came to hug Guo Xu's thigh, and it was not his greatest credit to win, the current Lakers are already very strong.

The Lakers' starters have changed again, Guo Xu, Carter, Tucker, Horford, and Nurkic.

Tyrone Lue feels that he can break down the Nets with offense, and if Wade starts, the breakthrough is indeed very sharp, and he can't prevent Robertson again. The Nets didn't play Wade either, and the second quarter could be very targeted.

Nets five: Beverley, J.R. Smith, James, West, Howard.

Mike Brown knew that Wade and James were not suitable to start together, and that the Nets needed a pitcher if they wanted the other team to stay close to the box and defend 122. Smith is known as a nerve knife, and he has made 10 three-pointers in a single game on time.

In this year's playoffs, Smith is in great form, averaging 2.8 three-pointers per game and shooting 42.9 percent from the field.

As long as "Warcraft" Howard can play without injury, the bounce power is better than Nurkic's, and the jump ball wins the Nets' first attack.

James received the ball in the middle and was put down two steps by Tucker, and the players pulled away, and the Lakers were man-to-man defense.

Almost all teams use this strategy to defend James, with one person on the perimeter and the wings or interior players shrinking around the box when James breaks through.

Many Jammy said that James's personal ability is the strongest, because his data is always quasi-triple-double, and it is expected that if he shoots more, he can play super data, he is just selfless, and the defensive intensity of the bag in the low post is higher than that of Guo Xu on the perimeter.

To put it bluntly, James, like Kobe, has a lot of shots in the low post and under the basket, and hits iron because of the bag.

In fact, James has his own system, and the opponent also has a way to deal with his system, he enters the inside line to attract the bag and the clip is fixed to pass the ball to the outside. really let him attract bags and clips on the periphery like Guo Xu, but he thought that he couldn't do it at all. Now James is often put two steps and doesn't shoot many three-pointers per game.

His personal record for three-pointers in a single playoff game was set in 2006, when he made 7-of-12 three-pointers against the Wizards.

James didn't want to choose to shoot a three-pointer in the first round, forced a breakaway and was caught by Tucker and Nurkic, and gave the ball to Howard from close range. Howard didn't shoot the ball directly, dribbled inside, shot wide when Nurkic came back and interfered, and the rebound was grabbed by Tucker.

Now no one thinks Howard is a superstar, he has been in the league for 12 seasons and still has no range, so he can only wait for opportunities to shoot in the low post. And he doesn't like to pull out to cover his teammates, and he doesn't like to run, so he just stands.

James' desire to leave the Nets has a direct relationship with Howard, and the two are really not suitable to be partners.

The Lakers attacked, and Guo Xu played with Nurkic as soon as he passed halftime. The blocking effect of the big player is very good, Beverley was blocked and couldn't get close, Guo Xu got rid of it and went inside at full speed, attracting James to switch defenses.

He didn't have any pauses so that Beverley couldn't chase down the defense, and he took 45 degrees to the right and drew Howard to retreat.

Guo Xu jumped up and half-turned and passed the ball to outside the three-point line in the middle, and Horford received the pass and was empty.

Jumping and passing is said to be a big taboo, but Guo Xu knows that Horford will be in the middle, and he can still respond to the attack without a chance. He was followed by Beverley, who jumped up and passed the ball as long as he was fast enough to pass the ball over Beverley's head, even if the opponent was in the passing lane.

His seemingly unreasonable choice is actually the best choice. Beverley turned around and tried to interfere with Horford's shot, which was too short to cover. Horford had a good rhythm and scored on catch-and-shoot jumpers. 3 to 0.

The Nets attacked, Tucker let James take two more steps, but James still forced a breakthrough and scored a stop-and-go jump shot inside the three-point line. 3 to 2.

James has been improving over the years, and he is not the kind of star who has no range and can only break through the league.

The Lakers attacked, Guo Xu attracted the bag and passed to Horford, and he slipped the bottom line from the left side to the right side, and received a pass from Carter 70 degrees on the right side.

He took the ball and dummered, and Beverley jumped up to block it after chasing it out, and misjudged. Before Guo Xu jumped up to make a foul, he only made a move, and Beverley jumped on him, and the two fell to the ground together.

The crowd booed, and the foul looked like it was going for someone. Fortunately, Guo Xu's protective action was very good, he threw the ball and supported it with his hands, and he fell to the ground with homeopathic cushioning, and there was no injury at all.

Guo Xu went to the free throw line, slapped the ball to find his rhythm, and hit all three free throws steadily, 6-2.

The Nets attacked, Beverley ran without the ball to catch the ball under the cover of West, Guo Xu deliberately put a little distance to give him space to shoot, and jumped up to interfere after bypassing the cover.

Beverley opted to catch the ball and the interference went wide.

Despite the obvious advantage of the Lakers, Guo Xu carefully studied the opponent's information before the start of the Finals, and even looked at Beverley's high-end statistics. He has a poor shooting percentage in the playoffs this year, and his shooting from the spot is still alive.

Guo Xu deliberately gave him a chance to make a move, and he didn't believe that he would suddenly be able to become accurate after three rounds of iron.

The Lakers attacked the position, Guo Xu formed a triangle on the right side of the same running position as just now, took the ball and took a step to the left, attracting Beverley to move sideways and dribbling the ball behind his back to his right hand to stop and shoot the ball. 8 to 2.

Just committed a foul, he didn't believe that Beverley dared to jump casually, and sure enough, the other party just stretched out his hand and jumped slowly......
