Chapter 1094 [Guo Xu's Two Ways to Win]
The Kings attacked, and Rondo and Hibbert played a pick-and-roll combination, broke through with the ball, circled and passed out.
Harden can't shoot endlessly, and if he shoots at Carter, he will be seriously disrupted, and his shooting percentage will not be very high.
But the Kings' pick-and-roll offense was not a threat, and the Lakers only had to shrink their formation to block the restricted area, and they let go of the interior players to cover the breakthrough of the two guards. Even if he doesn't shrink, Hibbert is not a threat, because his air cut is too slow, and by the time he gets to the basket, the opponent's interior has been waiting there.
Hibbert lacks explosiveness and can only rely on height to hold the ball alone, so he can bully the inside line of Bosh's size, and the last strong man can resist him. And except for the basket to shoot, Hibbert is not allowed in other positions, as an interior player, he has three seasons of less than 50% true shooting percentage, rotten fresh and refined.
Such a soft egg is touted by many people in the parallel world because of the good record of the Pacers. The media said that he was "Black Yao Ming", which was definitely the worst time Yao Ming was hacked.
The Kings players passed back and forth a couple of times before being missed by Solomon's three-point jumper from the bottom corner that was cleared on the perimeter.
This year's king's lineup configuration is definitely signed for the champion, Guo Xu has a little headache how to release the water. If it really doesn't work, he can only take the initiative to ask to defend against Harden and let Carter defend against others.
Only the Writing Wheel Eye can fight against the Writing Wheel Eye, Guo Xu is higher than Harden on the defensive end, and he has already opened a kaleidoscope.
The Lakers attacked, Guo Xu still played without the ball, and after receiving the ball on the weak side of the bottom line, he shook and slammed into Rondo's hand and threw the ball, and the referee blew a foul on the beater.
"Bumping porcelain" to make fouls, Guo Xu will also, he makes fewer free throws because his shooting is too accurate, and he disdains to strive for an average of 10 free throws per game like Harden. That will make the game intermittent, and if the game is coherent, Guo Xu, who has found his rhythm, will score more efficiently.
Guo Xu hit both free throws, 23-16.
Over the next three rounds, the Kings' bag finally worked, as Coach Carl finally replaced Hibbert.
He realized that Hibbert's defense was scum and he couldn't pull it off on the offensive end, so he sent Omi Cosby, who is good at shooting three-pointers, as a cameo power forward, and rookie Stein took the center position.
Guo Xu shot twice and scored an assist for Nurkic to score an empty dunk, he was not easy to shoot, and his teammates had a chance.
Stein, a high-pick rookie who the Kings traded from the Hawks for Landry, Kouvers and others, had a disappointing preseason performance. This rookie is indeed very athletic, but he suffers from playing a center with a weight of 109 kilograms, and he has no range when he plays a power forward.
After strengthening the mobility of the interior, the Kings can better prevent Guo Xu from shooting, but a strong man like Nurkic with 127 kilograms can't do anything about it. Not to mention that the big man is lured away, even if Nurkic directly singles, the Kings will be difficult to defend inside.
In the next round, Stein's empty cut layup was interfered with, Guo Xu received the ball and advanced quickly, and the single fast break made Rondo foul and hit both free throws. 27 to 16.
This wave of Kings couldn't score the basket, and Harden also missed two shots, and the difference widened.
Carl replaced Rondo, who had two fouls, and replaced Darren Collison, a point guard who was also fast and weak on offense and defense.
Collison will bring back bad memories when he sees Guo Xu, he met Guo Xu in the finals when he played for the Knicks, and he was beaten and had no way to fight back.
What to do? Rondo can't prevent it, and I can't prevent it.
Guo Xu has no defensive concerns, he doesn't guard against Collison, and retreats very far back with a look of "I want to brush up on rebounds and let my teammates get stuck". Collison had an easy shot and scored seven straight points, and the Lakers' offense was easy.
Zhang reasonably commented: "Guo Xu must be thinking thank God, Rondo finally went down, and someone dared to shoot in an empty position, otherwise the score just now would have been opened." ”
Yu Jia said: "Guo Xu's two ways to win, one is to lead the team to blossom more and lock in the victory early. The second is to deal with the king, if he wants to stay on the court and experience the fun of playing, he has to not defend in order to prevent the game from going into garbage time soon. ”
Zhang Reasonable said: "No matter which point guard guards Guo Xu has to be mentally prepared to be abused, I think Rondo is overrated." ”
Rondo, known as the "second leader of the king", only scored 3 points and 2 assists on 1-of-2 shooting, and the data was blown up and couldn't be watched.
Is there a role that Rondo doesn't show in the data? This game is completely unrecognizable, and his role last season was only visible to the strange Rondomi.
Last season, Rubio ranked first in the true defensive plus/minus of point guards, and Rondo ranked 17th, but Rubio was never selected to the All-Defensive Team. With no one behind Rondo to help with the defense, the scorer is not handed over to Tony Allen, and his defense is mediocre.
On the offensive side, neither of them had range and would be let go by the opponent, and Rondo was also blown out by Rubio in the free throw.
As long as he compares to Rondo, Rubio may be whitewashed in the Trail Blazers. After leaving the Celtics, Rondo's one-handed breakthrough small throw was gone, and the offense was completely constipated. In this way, there are always people on the Internet who say that Rondo is much better than Rubio and disdain to compare with each other.
In fact, the true hit rate of Rubio is ten percentage points higher than Rondo, and last season Rondo was a scumbag with a true hit rate of 44.8%, completely helpless!
The king's desperate defense against Guo Xu's shooting is still a bit useful, and Guo Xu is not easy to play in positional warfare, as soon as he catches the ball, there are two people in front of him, one big and one small, which can prevent breakthroughs and interfere with shooting.
However, the Lakers were in trouble when they counterattacked the king, Guo Xu rushed to the front, received the ball and played directly alone. Tyrone Lue also didn't care if the pass would be wrong, so he let the player pass the ball quickly to find him.
Guo Xu faced Collison defense and scored a three-pointer. On the counter-attack, he forced a breakthrough and caused a foul on Collison and made both free throws. He played the entire quarter and had 30 points and one assist to lead the Lakers 37-28.
The coach asked the role players not to shoot unless they were given an open spot, and the two interior players scored two points each, and Seth made a three-pointer when he was released.
If it weren't for this three-pointer, Seth would have felt like a defensive black hole deliberately sent by Tyrone Lue.
In the second quarter, the two sides competed off the bench, and the Kings quickly chased down a 12-4 attack wave to only one point.
The Lakers let Clarkson play point guard, Josh Richardson played point guard, and the scene was chaotic, and the 4 points were all scored by Clarkson's singles, and the team did not cooperate at all.
The Kings were led by Rondo and Collisson, who was in his prime, to play a two-guard guard, and he broke through sharply when counterattacking. Cosby and Belinelli also hit three-pointers, with Hibbert as center.
Four minutes later, Tyrone Lue replaced Clarkson and replaced Guo Xu.
Guo Xu immediately countered and scored four points and sent two assists to stabilize the situation, Josh hit a three-pointer, and Thackeray scored easily in the air.
Even if Clarkson doesn't mention leaving the Lakers, team management is starting to consider trading him, and the organizational ability is really not good. Josh 198CM faced Rondo's absolute physical superiority, and he didn't even pass the ball once.
In the second half, after Collison went off the court, the King's offense was not good again, but Rondo could also make Guo Xu uncomfortable, he just didn't shoot after being released, dribbled the ball through the air on the periphery, and looked for teammates who ran out of position without hurry, striving to use up 24 seconds.
Under Rondo's delaying tactics, Guo Xu only scored 9 points in a single quarter and shot 1 three-pointer, but he also delivered 3 assists, 41 points, 4 assists and 2 steals in the half.
Rondo faced the defenseless, got 7 points, 6 assists, 1 steal, and also carried three fouls.
The Lakers led by only six points at 61-55......
