Chapter 394

As expected by Guo Xu, the Suns gradually gained the upper hand in the third quarter. The weakness of the Lakers was revealed. Veteran Malone was lack of physical strength, and there was no qualified substitute for position 4.

The Suns played small ball tactics, let Marion guest star in position 4, and even Haslem played center for some time. Once the Lakers miss the shot, they will be hit back immediately. Malone runs back with him, and his physical strength is very fast.

Haslem couldn't defend Shaquille O'Neal. D'antony arranged "chopping shark tactics". O'Neal was sent to free throw when he tried to catch the ball. Inside players took turns to foul, which disrupted the attack rhythm of the Lakers.

If the Lakers don't pass the ball to Shaquille O'Neal, it's better for the suns. Anyway, they are single defense, focusing on other positions, forcing Peyton, Kobe and Malone into singles.

O'Neill played particularly depressed, before the game Guo Xu all said the sun's defensive tactics, he still can't crack. He has been practicing free throw for many years, but what to do if he is not allowed to do? Occasionally he can be accurate several times, most of the time the shooting rate is about 50%.

The Suns are highly mobile, can hit the small inside line to O'Neill is dislocation, defensive end he is also very difficult.

Guo Xu single section 9 points 5 assists, the feeling is not as fierce as the game, but no matter who he is against is small play big, has the speed advantage. Peyton is not fast enough to pick up and defend, and Guo Xu can play directly on Fisher and Guo Xu, and the attack organization of the Lakers will be worse.

Practice into the middle of the small Si will not be easily prevented by O'Neill, single quarter got 8 points, 6 points is a high jump shot.

Shaquille O'Neal made 2-for-3 shots and 5-out-of-12 free throws to get the team's highest 9 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks. However, he has been prevented. The free throw shooting rate is lower than that of the sports war, and the team's overall attack has become fragmented.

Peyton had 7 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assists, which was not as good as Guo Xu.

Kobe Bryant made 1-of-3 shots, 2-2 free throws, 4 points, 1 rebounds and 1 auxiliary attack. After three quarters, he scored but did not reach the double.

The Suns three swing man car battle, regardless of physical strength entangled with Kobe, even rookie Howard do well, his physical fitness is not much worse than Kobe, arm extension is still dominant, born calf is not afraid of tigers.

Kobe can get a single shot in the middle and long distance. Once he gets the ball in the low position, the sun's formation begins to shrink and form a package. He doesn't have team-mates who are good at shooting three points, so he can't guarantee the percentage of hits.

The Suns played 31-23 in a single quarter, leading 10 points into the last quarter.

During the break, Zhang said: "some netizens left a message asking Guo Xu and Kobe who is stronger. I don't think there is any suspense about this. It must be Guo Xu. Last season, he won assists and MVP in the regular season. Kobe was only selected in the best two games. The two teams did not take advantage of Kobe. Last season, he only scored more points per game than Guo Xu, had a lot lower shooting rate and played longer

Xu Jicheng said: "the difference between the two sides is not big, but it's hard for the Lakers to catch up, and Malone is obviously not energetic."

"Zen master" Jackson also saw the veteran's fatigue, but still let Malone, grant partner inside, outside is George, Fisher, Kobe.

It's no surprise that Malone played 40 minutes in a tough game for the Lakers.

In the history of NBA, it's hard to find someone more unlucky than Malone. After years of silent dedication for the Jazz team, he didn't win the championship. At the end of the year, when he thought of the Lakers holding their legs, their defense work became more and more. The worst thing in his previous life is that he still failed to win the championship with his veteran's basic salary. It's better to retire for the jazz all his life, leaving at least the reputation of two old men and one city.

There is no one to replace the No. 4 position of the Lakers. Bad defense medvedenko and rookie Brian Cook come out. Facing the Suns' pick and roll, it is similar to "surrender". Last season, the Lakers also had mark Madsen, who was good at defense, and has now joined the Timberwolves.

No matter Madsen or Beverly in the future, some "mad dogs" will be cherished only if they are lost.

The Suns have sent two towers in the interior line, and the defensive side can defend two veteran generals. At the offensive end, Xiaosi and nenedura go out to cover for his teammates. Malone can only defend one side. Veteran grant can't keep up with the pace of pick and roll. No matter how the guard breaks through or cuts the inside line, he is very hard to defend.

O'Neill sat on the sideline, staring at the game with dull eyes. He felt like he had knocked over the schizandrin in his heart. Now he can fully understand why Guo Xu has become so confused as soon as he enters the league.

Because of his unique vision, Guo Xu is good at analyzing the team's lineup and tactical system. Since the game has not started, the team has a certain chance of winning, and he knows how to play the best. How can such people choose the wrong team? His team is not weak.

After 7 minutes, Joe Johnson made 3-for-6 shots, 2-for-2 from 3-pointer, got 8 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals; Guo Xu made 3-out of 4-shot, 2-2-3-pointer, 2-2-free throw, and got 10-point-2-assists, and the two won the game in a wave.

Shaquille O'Neal rested for three and a half minutes to return to the field, and the Lakers couldn't stop shooting from the outside.

In fact, to strengthen the defense of pick and roll, the Lakers have a way, that is to let George guest play power forward. This kind of tactics Guo Xu played when the Lakers played, George is very fast, playing 4 position can be a weakened version of Kenyon Martin.

The disadvantages are also obvious. George's body is covered by his teammates and his opponents can easily avoid them. Guard speed is not fast enough, can not quickly pass the opponent's interior line or attract the inside line to defend, the significance of pick and roll cooperation is not big. George's height is at a disadvantage, both in defense of smalls and inside.Because fox serious injury absence, "Zen master" Jackson also needs George to play small forward, otherwise must use rush or the second round rookie Luke Wharton, the critical moment, Jackson also cannot trust those two people.

At the end of the game, George 2-for-0, grant 1-for-0, Kobe was eager to chase for points, and also put in the bag, 4-for-4, 6-out-of-6 free throws, and got 6 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.

The difference between the two sides widened to more than 20 points, and D'Antoni replaced Guo Xu ahead of time to start training new people.

Under the constant proposal of assistant coach Larry drew, D'Antoni will give the rookies performance opportunities every game, especially Howard and Blake. These two rookies are the fighting power, and the team also needs them to play in the playoffs. James Jones wants to wait. He can't even get into the 12 man list. If he wants to play games and exercise, he can only develop the league.

O'Neal and Kobe played for a while, and Fisher hit the three-point ball from the outside, but the Lakers were too far behind to catch up, and they were replaced three minutes before the end.

In the end, 113-99, the Suns won three games in a row at home.

Guo Xu went out for 38 minutes, making 11 of 24 shots, 5 of 11 from 3-pointer, 5 out of 5 of 5 free throws, with 32 points, 2 rebounds, 16 assists and 1 steals.

The Suns scored 20 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists for Joe Johnson, 15 points and 11 rebounds for Marion, 18 points and 6 rebounds for stodamier, and 10 points for bell.

O'Neal had 24 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, Peyton had 19 points, 4 rebounds and 9 assists, and Malone had 18 points, 12 rebounds and 2 assists.

Kobe was out of order, 4-for-15, 20-3-pointer, 7-out-of-10 free throws, 15 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. Shaquille O'Neal can't attract the package, and Kobe will have a lot of difficulty trying to play outside.

At this time, jazz veteran forward Bryan Russell, who played 10 minutes without a point, felt a little bad. He held his thighs as if he had chosen the wrong team. The Lakers played such a hard game. When the two teams met in the playoffs, could the Lakers win?
