Chapter 128

At the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, the Lakers and the Spurs were real enemies. In Guo Xu's previous life, between 1999 and 2005, the Spurs and the Lakers won three titles respectively, and only the 2004 championship was won by the pistons.

In 2007, the teams with O'Neill and Duncan won four championships respectively. It is clear at a glance which two stars are the most dominant in the NBA at this stage.

This season, the Spurs are recognized as one of the teams that may threaten the Lakers' title, with a record of 10-4, ranking second in the west after 13-3.

The first match between the two sides, the Spurs won at home, O'Neal was in poor condition that day. This time the Lakers have had experience, Guo Xu has an advantage over Spurs veteran Avery Johnson.

"Chan" realized that no matter how strong a star is, BD can't do it. He changed his strategy.

"Jason starts with pick and roll attack and shacker covers in the middle. Jason can choose to attack by himself, or he can attract shacker who defends and points the ball to the middle. Shacker's empty cut attracted the supplement defense or the package to divide the ball

Jackson is very aware of the Spurs' strengths, "twin towers" defense of the forbidden area is very good, continue to let O'Neal in the low center to do axis triangle attack, will hit the opponent's bosom.

The Spurs were eliminated by the suns in the first round of the playoffs last season, which does not mean that the Spurs are weak. They are the rare teams that have the ability to limit O'Neill.

Every time O'Neal meets the Spurs' twin towers, Duncan and Robinson can take turns defending O'Neal and depleting his physical strength. In the offensive end, Duncan can can single O'Neal to score, let him suffer.

"Stone Buddha" Duncan is terrifying as soon as he enters the league. O'Neill's height and weight are dominant. However, Duncan can can score by skill. It's hard to block Duncan's skill, whether it's in the middle of the road, or in the turn to shoot.

The Laker coach team is afraid of Duncan, and the beneficiary is Guo Xu. Jackson's aim is to defend the Spurs' No.1 position. "Little general" Johnson's height is only 178cm, against the odd poor, if the interior line changes defense Guo Xu, O'Neill can easily squeeze his empty cut under the basket. Inside players change defense slowly is not good, Guo Xu has outstanding shooting ability.

In Guo Xu's previous life, when the Lakers played the Spurs in three consecutive championships, they often adopted the defensive main attack strategy, so Kobe would get better data when playing the Spurs. At that time, the offensive ability of the No. 1 position of the Lakers was poor. Now Jackson has chosen Guo Xu, who is more likely to create dislocation opportunities than Kobe, and has a stronger three-point ability.

Guo Xu can lead the opponent's big man to the three-point line, while Kobe is the center shot. The opponent will wait for him to attack near the bull's corner. Obviously, Guo Xu's holding the ball is more conducive to opening the formation and helping his teammates play.

Defense, Jackson also need Guo Xu to deal with Johnson, Brian Shaw afraid of fast, can break through the small.

When the players came out, Guo Xu felt that the air in the stadium had become fresh. He practiced shooting in the morning in order to clean up Johnson who was shorter than himself. He was confident that he could play the game well.

This play, ESPN, was broadcast live all over the United States. It was very pleasant before it started. It was no big surprise. It would end up in the top three of all the regular season games that had been broadcast.

Jordan retired and the bad influence of the League suspension, the NBA game ratings once fell to the bottom, the Lakers in the past two seasons more and more popular, is helping the League recover.

Guo Xu said hello to Austin Nichols and Megan Fox when warming up, and they waved to the court.

This scene happened to be photographed by the photographer. Megan's family who watched the live broadcast in port St. Lucie's home were very happy and thought she looked like a star.

After the warm-up, players from both sides come out. The five: Guo Xu, Kobe, fox, grant, Shaquille O'Neal.

Spurs five: Avery Johnson, Derek Anderson, Sean Elliott, Duncan, David Robinson.

O'Neal's jump ball wins. The Lakers attack first. Guo Xu catches the ball and carries it to the front court. Johnson defends him.

Johnson is one of the best short players. He entered the NBA in non draft in 1988. He is 178cm tall and weighs only 73 kg. Last season he played 82 regular season games for the Spurs, averaging 11.2 points, 1.9 rebounds and 6 assists.

Johnson was only a role player before joining the Spurs. After joining the Spurs in 1994, Johnson reached his peak. He scored double points per game in five seasons. In the peak 95-96 season, he averaged 13.1 points, 2.5 rebounds, 9.6 assists, 1.5 steals, and the shooting percentage was as high as 49.4%.

But Johnson is now nearly 36 years old, experienced several major injuries, physical fitness decline, is based on experience. In order to make himself faster, he lost four kilos in summer, which was a wrong decision. In the pre-season, he suffered serious losses in confrontation. The small guard only had speed, so he averaged 5.6 points and 4.3 assists per game.

The Spurs No. 1 position already has the fatal weakness, the substitute Steve Cole can only catch the ball and shoot, and the dual guard Antonio Daniels can shoot fairly well. The breakthrough is ordinary, the organization ability is poor, and there is no unique skill.

Guo Xu middle road to O'Neill play a secret signal to cover, fat man has not come up, his middle pull up is a three-point. Johnson was cheated. He was thinking about how to get around the cover. He was slow in reaction. He just stretched out his hand and didn't jump the cover.Guo Xugang just warm-up and threw a few three-point ball to strengthen memory, feel very good, hollow into the net. 3 to 0.

The Spurs attack, Johnson middle and Robinson play pick and roll, Guo Xu from the inside to bypass the screen pursuit defense, blocking Johnson's breakthrough route.

After the last contest, and looking at the information given by the scouts, Guo Xu determined that Johnson was not good at shooting three points. In this way, it is easier to prevent him from attacking, as long as he can prevent breakthrough. Johnson passes the ball to the middle. "Admiral" faces O'Neal and takes the ball high.

Bottom line Duncan to Elliott no ball cover, the latter in the left corner suddenly cut to the basket, received the middle Robinson pass.

Veteran Grant's moving speed is slow, not good at changing defense cover, fox's pursuit from the back to draw fouls, his small movements were seen by the referee whistle, Elliot also easily into the basketball.

Elliot added a penalty hit, 3-3.

Guo Xu took the ball to the front court, extended three fingers and gave O'Neill a signal, meaning "I'm going to throw three points directly.". O'Neill understood, did not go out of the screen, to the low position to squeeze for the front rebounds.

Guo Xu dribbled from the crotch to the right, took a step back step, 70 degrees to meet Johnson's three-point shot.

Johnson jump interference, the hand has reached Guo Xu's face, unfortunately invalid, Guo Xu with the feeling to grasp the rhythm of the hand, the ball draws a perfect arc, hollow into the net! Six to three.

ESPN commentator mark Woodson called, "beautiful! Resolute shot, Jason Guo in the opening two three points, his state today, let the two stars in the team do supporting roles

Partner Tom - hovas said: "Jason is a wind type player, once hot is the all star level, Johnson can prevent breakthrough, afraid of such shooting people, I think the Spurs have to find a way to help defend."

The home fans gave Guo Xu a warm applause, and Jackson also stood on the sideline.

"Zen master" thinks that Guo Xu is very likely to become an all-star in the future. He is much better than Fisher. If we arrange tactics for Guo Xu today, he may hit terror data and set a new personal record!
