Chapter 219 [Great metaphysics, it's too late together]
In Guo Xu's previous life, people often said that Kobe did not trust his teammates, but in fact he still trusted him. It depends on who his teammates are.
Kobe often fights Guo Xu in the team, knowing how much Guo Xu's defensive ability has improved. Iverson doesn't play pick-and-roll, and he doesn't consider assisting defense at all, so he follows Snow. In this case, it's very difficult for Snow, who already lacks range, to score.
The 76ers player wanted to grab the frontcourt rebound, but was resisted by Grant and O'Neal, who could not even jump, could only watch O'Neal easily raise his toes and grab the ball with one hand.
The Lakers attacked, Guo Xu played pick-and-roll in the middle and passed to O'Neal on the left. O'Neal turned around and took the ball frame to explore the steps. He first held the ball with his left hand and took a small step to the right. Then he changed to the left to a large turn, jumped to the bottom line and threw the ball out under the interference of Mutombo.
Although the ball did not go in, O'Neal attracted two people to defend at a low post. Grant grabbed the frontcourt rebound in the middle, and missed the second offense with Teelon's interference. Mutombo grabbed the backcourt rebound, and the 76ers defended it hard for a round.
The 76ers attacked, Iverson beat Guo Xu alone, forced a breakthrough and turned around to shoot, and finally hit a mid-range shot under interference. 24 to 5.
Guo Xu immediately responded, not a forceful attack, but an assist.
He played pick-and-roll with Grant in the middle and broke the left side. Fox slipped through the baseline with O'Neal without the ball and ran to the left bottom corner, preparing to form a triangle on this side. McGee was blocked and chased and defended slowly, and Mutombo did not switch to the defense and went out of the penalty area.
Guo Xu saw the opportunity and passed it to Fox. The latter aimed at the bottom corner and made another three-pointer!
27 to 5, Guo Xu made the third assist.
The biggest weakness of iron barrel formation and pseudo-joint defense is the two bottom corners, and it is too difficult for players to switch defenses or rotate.
The 76ers attacked, Iverson became more and more impatient and wanted to return one. He ran on the left to catch the ball and jumped into the gap with a cover. Guo Xu didn't have time to jump to interfere, but the ball bounced out of the box.
Even if no one defended, Iverson's long shot was not accurate, it was just a gambling touch. This was the same as when Guo Xu went to the Lakers side. It was not possible to shoot based on his touch. At that time, Guo Xu did not practice mid-range shots, and the mid-range shot rate in the test was not as high as three-pointers.
There is nothing else, only you can do it.
Next, the Lakers steadily controlled the situation.
Iverson played very actively. He tried hard to break through and took advantage of the opportunity to make a move. He even grabbed a frontcourt rebound, scoring the team's highest 8 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist in the first quarter. However, he made only 4 of 13 shots, and his efficiency was extremely low.
Guo Xu scored 8 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, made 3 of 4 shots and 2 of 3 three-pointers.
Other players O'Neal scored 9 points and 5 rebounds, Fox scored 10 points and 4 rebounds, and Grant scored 4 points and 2 rebounds. Kobe had the least scored, only two shots, and was selfless and terrible, scoring 2 points and 3 assists.
The Lakers blossomed at multiple points, leading 33 to 13 in the first quarter by 20 points.
Everyone feels that the winner of both sides has been decided, and the highlight of this game has changed from "who can win" to "how many points can the Lakers win the opponent"?
The 76ers' offensive end was completely unblocked, and pseudo-fans could see this.
In Guo Xu's previous life, Iverson had a clear advantage in fighting Fisher alone. He attracted double teams to assist his teammates. In order to limit him, the Lakers allowed Brian Shaw to replace Fisher in the first quarter, and then Kobe was allowed to defend. Iverson's misplaced performance was also good when he played against Kobe.
The Lakers' defensive tone is to defend Iverson all the game, trying to prevent him from receiving the ball. Now Guo Xu has completed this task himself. The two of them run on the court, and the speed difference is not much.
Iverson played pick-and-roll or reached a low post and double-teamed Lakers players not only restricted Iverson, but also defended Snow and McGee. These two people have certain ability to play with the ball, but it depends on who the opponent is. The defensive experts against the Lakers are obviously at a loss.
In the second quarter, Brown sent four, Iverson, McGee, Teelon, and Mutombo did not rest, and only one substitute was Laga Bell.
Brown sent out the best treasure since he coached, and success or failure was here. The name of this magic weapon is "Die Fighting the Main Force". There are only six and seven people in the team rotated. The others were responsible for calling 666 on the sidelines. This is how they broke out in the East.
In a sense, this is an amazing metaphysics, but unfortunately Brown has hair and his metaphysics skills are not yet available.
On the Lakers side, Guo Xu and Kobe did not rest, so he continued to play and took the substitute. The other three were Fisher, Horry and Grant.
Grant rested for 4 minutes in the first quarter and is now playing as a center, responsible for defending and protecting rebounds, while Fisher is coming up to add a shooting point.
"Zen Master" Jackson knew that O'Neal was very heavy, so he took a rest for a while and was more efficient in the second half. At this time, the Lakers could also disrupt the opponent's defense by changing the offensive rhythm. They played like this in every game in the playoffs and began to try it in the regular season.
Jackson is quite conservative and did not let George play the No. 4 game on the court, which was faster. He didn't use Ryan Bowen, who was suitable for big shot-proof big men, and the 76ers did not have such a forward to let him play his specialty.
After the game started, the 76ers were slowly grinding their positions, but the Lakers turned into a whirlwind. As long as the opponent did not enter, they immediately launched a quick counterattack.
As soon as the Lakers defender runs, the 76ers' inside line cannot defend the position, and the backcourt is prone to 3v3 situations.
Guo Xu advanced quickly, Mutombo did not return to the penalty area many times, and the ball was already taken. Kobe began to show off his power, playing Laga Bale in a row, and the gap in this position was too big.
In Guo Xu's previous life, Kobe lost to the Suns twice in the playoffs in 2006 and 2007, but his data was very beautiful every time, and his shooting percentage was higher than the regular season. It was not difficult for Kobe to beat Bale alone, even though Bale was selected into the All-Defensive Team in 2007.
The most famous story of the two is that Bale, who was angry in the playoffs, used the "throat locking skill" against Kobe. He was unable to escape the referee and the cameraman, nor could he blame Gusu Murong Fu, and was suspended for one game.
Bale is now a rookie who has entered the NBA in the non-draft and has only played 5 games in the regular season. He is a marginalist who is two years older than Kobe. He is appreciated by Brown because of his defensive attitude. He is easy to deal with in positional battles. He has teammates in the defensive system to assist in defense. When he counterattacks, he defends Kobe alone and delivers food.
Kobe has obvious advantages, so Guo Xu reduced the number of assists and cooperated very well.
Four minutes later, Larry Brown made a mistake in adjusting and replaced Matt Geiger with two fouls.
Geiger, who is 3cm tall, averaged 13.5 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game in his peak season. Because he interrupted O'Neal's thumb, he became a recognized macho man in the league. Unfortunately, that was the past. Now Geiger has been injured twice and has a weight of 120 kilograms. His speed is very slow, and his iron-blooded defense has long disappeared.
This season, Geiger has only played 35 games in the regular season due to injury, and his offense and defense data have dropped seriously. How can such a person who can only play centers play with Mutombo?
But Larry Brown doesn't believe in young people, so he wants to play the double towers. I guess he wants to coach the Chinese national team, so he dares to let Yao Ming and Bartle play the double towers together.
Guo Xu relied on the off-ball cover to run, took the ball and made 2 of 3 three-pointers, widening the gap to 30 points.
