Chapter 198 [Birth of an Actor]
Guo Xu showed off his motivation to fight Kobe alone to fight Hawks players. No matter who comes to the main defense, he will play singles, non-violent and no cooperation, no double-team or pass.
Terry's defensive ability can reach an average level among defenders, which is far from being an expert, and it is definitely incomparable to Kobe.
Guo Xu dribbled the ball under his crotch and changed direction to the left side, and Terry followed closely. Guo Xu leaned against him, shook his left shoulder lightly in the middle, and at the same time, he gently patted the basketball with his right hand to the left, making a false move to turn to the middle. Terry's center of gravity moved slightly, and he held the ball in his left hand and quickly turned to the right.
Terry couldn't keep up with him. Guo Xu turned around and stopped 45 degrees and jumped on the jump. Unfortunately, he used a little more strength this time. Henderson let go of the baseline and Fox also assisted in defense and interfered with it. The ball missed after hitting the board, and the rebound was grabbed by Mohammed.
The Eagles attacked, and Guo Xu kept two steps away from Terry in the middle to prevent breakthroughs but not shots. In this way, the Eagles' offense rhythm will be faster and will not waste time when the ball is transferred.
Terry was not polite either. He scored a jump shot from the middle and scored another three-pointer. 17 to 15.
The home fans burst into cheers, and many stood up to applaud Terry.
At this time, O'Neal's leadership temperament suddenly exploded, and he used a "death glare". After the bottom line ball was sent, he came to Guo Xu and roared: "Jason, cheer up and keep an eye on your people!"
When Ao Pang knew that the score had caught up, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his eyes became more and more fierce. The two set a secret code while eating. It means that the time for release is over. Next, it is time to guard against it and show Ao Pang's leadership temperament.
This is a scene that O'Neal added to himself, otherwise he would have taken too few moves and covered too much, and he would have been questioned when standing on the defensive end.
Guo Xu frowned slightly, his sword eyebrows and starry eyes were full of seriousness. The eyes of both sides collided and intertwined in the air. Finally, he saw a hint of praise in the other party's eyes. He had a good acting skills!
The fans of the Hawks on the sidelines were even more excited and shouted "defense"! Many people thought Terry's outstanding performance made the Lakers star anxious, and they didn't realize that they were watching a variety show "The Birth of an Actor".
The commentator could still see the problem. Xu Jicheng said: "Terry also scored 11 points and scored three three-pointers. Guo Xu was not very active on the defensive end today, and O'Neal seemed angry."
Zhang Heli smiled and said, "I think he has focused all his energy on the offensive end. The task of possessing the ball over half of the game is Fisher."
This time Guo Xu didn't run to the bottom line and had to score the ball in half. O'Neal ran back and went out of the three-point line to play the pick-and-roll.
Muhammad was very active in changing defenses, waiting for Guo Xu to break near the three-point line, and his choice was very smart. If Guo Xu directly made a three-pointer, he would be more than one meter away from the three-point line to avoid the cover.
After getting rid of Terry, Guo Xu chose to break through on the right and took a big step with the ball in his right hand. He quickly hit Mohammed and slapped the ball to his left hand. The racket was relatively backward. He quickly changed direction to the left and passed the opponent sideways.
This was a rather unreasonable strong attack. Muhammad's center of gravity was too high and his horizontal movement speed could not keep up. Terry made a mistake in making the choice. After bypassing O'Neal, he chased Guo Xu from the right and was also slower.
He broke through the middle, flew forward, threw the ball towards the basket with one hand, Kukochi let go of Grant and failed to cover the defense. The ball had a little more powerful force and bounced out of the frame.
Zhang Heli shouted: "Guo Xu made a shot! A good ball! Oh, I didn't score. Although I didn't score, the breakthrough was very beautiful. This kind of ball was very reasonable, so the Lakers had to continue playing like this."
The Lakers' offense is not over yet, and O'Neal cuts a free kick to grab the frontcourt rebound. Mohammed was ready to make a foul, but O'Neal did not force himself, but asked Guo Xu to pass the ball out of the outside.
Guo Xu ran out of the three-point line and asked Grant to provide a cover without the ball. He received the ball in the left 50-degree jump shot and made a three-pointer. Kukochi's replacement was slow. Guo Xu's shooting rhythm was perfect, and the ball was hollowed into the net!
20 to 15, the 18th point in the individual.
Zhang Heli shouted: "One more, look at Guo Xu's awesomeness, how to play! This ball is so powerful, this is personal ability, this is superstar, and Guo Xu is such a person."
Xu Jicheng also sighed: "It's so exciting. I scored at the beginning. This is the most exciting game in the live broadcast this year."
The Hawks attacked, Terry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Guo Xu began to be close to him. The lead of 5 points was not much, so he had to defend carefully.
Terry passed to his teammate on the left, Henderson caught the ball and waved Fox up, ran into him and missed the shot and committed a foul.
Henderson made both free throws, 20-17.
The Lakers attacked, Guo Xu and O'Neal played pick-and-roll in the middle, and were brought to the left 45 degrees but failed to get away with Terry.
Guo Xu took a step out with his back to protect the ball, but Terry did not fit in close contact. After Guo Xu judged the distance between the two, he quickly dribbled the ball behind his back with his right hand, and then pulled the ball up with his left hand with his left hand and turned to the bottom line.
Terry was attracted by the dribble behind him and looked to the left, and then he thought about Ka Guo Xu's turn around and slowed down.
Guo Xu completely passed Terry, inserted into the basket and raised the ball and jumped up from the left to glide to the right. The pull rod avoided Muhammad's repair block and went into the basketball with his right hand.
22 to 17, the 20th point in the individual.
Zhang Heli shouted: "It's another five-ball-level offense, beautiful super-pole, just play him like this!"
Xu Jicheng sighed: "There are still 5 minutes and 15 seconds left. If you continue to play like this, Guo Xu will probably score 30+ in a single quarter. He has an amazing performance of consecutive consecutive scores against the Celtics."
The Hawks attacked, Terry passed the ball to Maroni, who broke through and passed the ball, and Henderson pushed out three steps to score a layup. 22-19.
The Lakers attacked, Guo Xu misplaced the pick-and-roll and passed Mohammed, and was hit by Kukoc and Terry again. He passed the ball with the opportunity, Grant made an open mid-range shot from the baseline and easily hit two points.
24 to 19, Guo Xu made the second assist.
When returning to defense, Grant slapped Guo Xu. Hawks coach Kruger is now panicked and is forced to request a timeout.
The Hawks must make adjustments. Guo Xu's performance is too terrible and the offense is unstoppable. Whether the Hawks coaching staff or players, they do not want the opponent's star to score super data at their home court, so they have to find ways to limit it.
If Guo Xu only wants to score and keep shooting, the Eagles can defend themselves by double-teaming, and at least reduce their shooting percentage, but it will be difficult to deal with when he can pass the ball.
Scanning data is a science. People who only know how to score points can make a move. Even if the data is beautiful, they will not get too high. If they are accidentally labeled as cancer.
The best way is to brush comprehensively!
Guo Xu didn't have to get five or sixty in one breath. He knew very well that the players who combined the score points were the strongest.
In his previous life, Paul, Nash, Curry, Harden, and Westbrook had different tricks, but they were all plays that combined with breakthrough and score, striving to drive the entire team.
A real guard star will adjust the rhythm of playing according to the situation on the court. It is impossible to break through the whole game, pass the ball, shoot the ball, or let your teammates get stuck and help them pick up the backcourt rebound.
Well, Westbrook can keep picking up rebounds, and has picked up two seasons...
