Chapter 132

Popovich was surprised and more and more regretted that he didn't choose Guo Xu this year. This is the point guard the Spurs need urgently. With him, the Spurs can attack the championship, and position 1 is no longer a weakness.

He thinks Guo Xu is like the enhanced version of Avery Johnson. He has a longer range in attack and a stable ball guard. His strength in defense is not weak and can withstand most guards, which Johnson does not have.

Popovich was a little puzzled why Guo Xu ran into Johnson twice and turned around to pass people. It was obvious that they were similar in stature. How does this kid practice? Look so thin, is it natural power?

Guo Xu's fight against the strong is the reason for practicing dance and boxing. His toes are very strong, and his body is used to getting fists. The impact on the basketball court is not a matter of course. Even if the opponent is much stronger, he dares to be close to the body. He doesn't care about the pain.

After two more rounds, Ross ran to catch the ball and missed it under Grant's interference. Duncan hit the ball out of the baseline when grabbing the rebounds in the front court, forming a dead ball.

With 2 minutes and 33 seconds left, both sides made adjustments. The Spurs replaced Johnson and Elliott, replaced with Dani Ferri and Antonio Daniels. The Lakers replaced Guo Xu and O'Neal and sent Brian Shaw and holly.

Guo Xu didn't finish the first quarter and scored 19 points and 2 assists. At the end of the match, the fans gave him warm applause.

"It's crazy. Jason gave the most terrifying scoring performance of this rookie against the Spurs, who are currently ranked second in the west," Woodson said

Hovas said with a smile: "this year's draft conference is really ironic, the last rookie is more like the champion than Kenyon Martin, Martin is a blue collar in the basketball team, he can't even control the foul."

On the sidelines, Megan Fox stares at the stadium screen in a daze, feeling a bit unreal.

The person who grabs the limelight of "OK group" is my neighbor, who will chat with me, eat together, and buy vegetables together?

Austin touched her arm and said with a smile, "don't be dazzled. He's looking at us here."

"Who is looking at us?"

Megan followed Austin's fingers and saw Guo Xu waving to them on the bench. Austin gave him a thumbs up and called, "brother, you are the best!"

Megan suddenly did not know how to say hello to Guo Xu. As soon as she was nervous, she opened her mouth and bit her lip subconsciously. With an embarrassed smile, she seemed to be tempting.

Guo Xu couldn't stand her expression the most. For fear of affecting the competition state, Guo Xu quickly turned his head, picked up a bottle of sports drink he was endorsing and poured a few mouthfuls of it.

After the change, the Lakers couldn't attack, only Kobe made a foul, two free throws, two points. On the other hand, Anderson ran back to catch the ball and got two points. In the last eight seconds, Robinson was replaced to play pick and roll with Daniels and hit a center shot.

The Lakers finished the first quarter with a 34-21 lead.

Jackson changed the strategy in the second quarter, Guo Xu first rest, OK combination appearance with substitutes.

After only one minute, Popovich realized that Robinson couldn't withstand the attack of OK group, and replaced Duncan early.

The Lakers are firmly in charge, leading by 16 points 48-32 in the second quarter. 6 minutes 20 seconds, in order to strengthen the attack, the Spurs replaced Johnson, replaced Daniels. "Zen master" immediately replaced Brian Shaw and sent Guo Xu.

O'Neal attracted Duncan's defense in the low post, Guo Xu and grant played in the middle to get rid of Johnson. Robinson was slow and experienced. He saw the opportunity and stabbed Guo Xu's basketball from the side with a long arm, which made him make a mistake, the Spurs quickly counterattack, and Burt's middle shot scored. 48 to 34.

After a fall, Guo Xu played pick and roll with grant in the middle, and the right breakthrough kept a distance with Robinson to 45 degrees. Robinson had to keep up with him and hit the ball without him. As soon as Johnson chased for defense, Guo Xu jumped up and quickly divided the ball to the middle, and grant made an open jump shot.

50-34, Guo Xu's third assist.

Guo Xu middle road pick and roll had to defend, Popovich rushed to the field to call, let Duncan to prevent the pick and roll, Johnson closer to some.

However, Jackson's offensive strategy has changed, he let grant to pick and remove Guo Xu, O'Neill continued to be in the low post, all players are familiar with the offensive position.

Central Guo Xu did not give a mobile phone meeting, attracted Duncan defense, then passed to the flank Kobe, Kobe himself single or to O'Neal low drop shot, and the right corner of fox formed a triangle.

Triangle attack has a lot of routines, the purpose is to create individual opportunities for players.

In the middle, Guo Xu and Kobe Bryant on the right and grant on the middle are also in the triangle position. He attracted Duncan to change his defense. It is easy to find a teammate to meet him.

Many people look down on the triangle attack and think it's not easy to create vacancies. However, if there are stars, it's enough for the other side to take one-on-one, and it doesn't need so many vacancies.

Fox and Guo Xu can also change positions. When Fox's baseline is empty cut, he can receive O'Neill's pass and directly impact the basket. If he can't get the ball, he will go to the left corner and other opportunities. At this time, Guo Xu wants to run to the right corner to make sure someone can catch the ball. It's a couple of moves that the Lakers have trained on, and it's not hard.

After Guo Xu joined the Lakers, he mainly practiced three running routes, running very smoothly. In his previous life, when Artest joined the Lakers, he complained that he didn't know what the triangle attack was all about. This made Guo Xu feel that he was a high-level player with a little complacency.Two minutes and 40 seconds, O'Neill grabbed the defensive rebound and passed it to fox. Fox long passed to Guo Xu. After the Spurs' pick and roll, the Spurs appeared dislocation. Guo Xu ran away from Robinson to score a layup and opened the second quarter.

In 31 seconds, the Lakers quickly counterattack, Guo Xu advanced to the front court with the ball, facing Johnson's right 70 degree snatch shot three-point wind, this is the individual's sixth three-point.

His shooting choice seems to be poor, but he is actually very smart. The Spurs have nine seconds left after a positional attack, and the Lakers have plenty of time to attack another.

After two passes, Lederer cut the ball and made a foul under the basket, hitting both free throws.

At the end of the half-time, the Lakers were 66-42 and 24 points ahead, almost locking the victory. Guo Xu had 24 points and 3 assists in the half-time, and 9-for-6 three-point shots, while the Spurs made a total of one three-point shot.

Popovich didn't return to the dressing room at half-time. Some reporters took the opportunity to interview him on the spot and asked him to evaluate the first half of the game.

Popovich sighed: "we have to guard against Jason Guo, he is a huge threat, we seriously underestimated his strength before the game, if he let the outside shooting is a very terrible thing, he opened the space, also let O'Neal, Kobe become more difficult to defend."

Reporter asked: "do you think Jason is a better point guard now than spurs starter Avery Johnson?"

Popovich did not want to answer: "there is no doubt that Jason is much better, avery may be able to fight him at his peak, but now avery's state is declining, he is the best rookie of the year."

Reporters noted that Popovich said "the best rookie" and did not add "one of them.".

This is Popovich's real idea, not a victory. The Spurs' three point guards all play a single role. They can only break through or shoot three points. If they want to adjust their tactics, they have to change players. Guo Xu, however, is a guard who can shoot and shoot suddenly, and is the only rookie who can do this at present.

No suspense, he's the best.
