Legend of Tomorrow

The next quarter Guo Xu came to an end, Joe Johnson and Stardamer were in charge of taking the bench, and the other three were Alstom, Jakobson, Haslem.

Iverson continued to play, still unable to break into the basket, the sun adopted 122 joint defense tactics, Alstom single defense, Iverson broke through four players to shrink to the four corners of the penalty area, blocking the penalty area.

No matter which side Iverson takes, he will encounter a double-team near the penalty area. Larry Brown asks him to break into the basket for a layup or score a ball, which is to encourage him to head into the crowd. He can play head-to-head from the outside, and he can easily shoot at mid-range distance, but he is not allowed to shoot from this distance, and the situation is very embarrassing.

This is currently the most popular defensive tactic in the NBA. The advantage is that it can maintain the defense of outside players and break through through some effective restrictions. The fatal weakness is the high position and the two bottom corners.

This kind of joint defense will be very ugly for a team that is good at making three-pointers in front and bottom corners, but the Suns don't need to worry about this at all because the 76ers coach Larry Brown is particularly good at preventing three-pointers.

According to Brown's request, the 76ers' management team is to find a group of players who have no range and are good at physical confrontation and defense.

Rookie John Salmons is the worst person to be pitted. He often makes three-pointers in college. The main scoring method is jump shots. As a result, he was selected by the Spurs in the first round and traded to the 76ers. Brown asked him to switch to the inside to make a layup or foul or block the opponent.

Salmons was forced to transform, averaging only 8 minutes per game, facing opponents often causing opponents to block ...

The Sun's offensive performance was average in this quarter, leading 67-47 at halftime.

In the third quarter, the 76ers Todd McLodge and Coleman were together for 4 minutes. Iverson got rid of Guo Xu after the pick and roll and rushed into the crowd again and again, giving Guo Xu a lot after he missed the shot Chance to miss the three-pointer.

Guo Xu soared in a single period, 7 of 11 shots, 5 of 8 3-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, scored 24 points and 2 assists.

Once a misalignment is formed, Todd and Coleman cannot keep up with Guo Xu's speed, and can only use fouls to prevent him from breaking through. Once Guo Xu gets rid of the big man's shot and is open, Iverson cannot quickly return to the defense after shooting near the penalty area.

On the defensive end, Iverson was also trapped on the offensive end. He made 1 of 8 shots in the quarter, 2 of 3 three-pointers, no free throws, and only got 3 points, 1 assist, 1 steal and 2 turnovers.

The sun restricted area is full of people, or Nene and Stoudemire. Iverson has made several difficult shots and twisted his body into a happy twist. It is difficult for him to go to the Chinese Spring Festival Gala. If he can score a goal, hell. The only thing he proves is that he is tougher than Guo Xu. Guo Xu has never faced a forced shot in the entire game.

In the third quarter, the Sun led by 103 points and 69 points, and the game entered garbage time.

In the last quarter, Guo Xu swept the data during the garbage time, which was a shock. He played 2 minutes, assisted Haslem after the pick-and-roll and scored, and had enough 10 assists before taking a break.

He played a total of 32 minutes, 15 of 22 shots, 8 of 13 3-pointers, 7 of 8 free throws, scored 45 points and 10 assists, only 2 turnovers.

Iverson was also replaced after 5 minutes of play, playing 41 minutes, 9 of 24 shots, 1 of 7 three-pointers, 7 of 9 free throws, scoring 26 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 4 turnovers. .

The Suns still have the upper hand in the bench contest between the two sides, scoring a 127-79 victory over the 76ers by 48 points.

Zhang reasonable commented: "The 76ers' defense has dropped a lot compared with that in 2001. They can't hold the restricted area, and they haven't enough pressure on the outside."

Xu Jicheng said: "Guo Xu's playing time is relatively short. If you play more for a while, it will definitely be 50 + 10 today. Iverson can't really stop him alone. It was too bad to be exploded."

Before the players returned to the locker room, Guo Xu and Iverson shook hands in the field. Zhang reasonable suddenly discovered a secret and was surprised: "The two stood together. Guo Xu at 180CM was significantly higher than Iverson at 183CM. what."

Xu Jicheng smiled and said: "Guo Xu was 19 years old when he first entered the league, and he probably grew taller. And Iverson falsely reported his height, and many people said that he was barefoot 178cm."

Guo Xu has indeed grown 3CM in recent years, and he can measure 183CM and 184CM in shoes, but he is 21 years old and his height is basically fixed. No. 1 position still has no advantage at all. He doesn't plan to update his height data, it's good to put an integer of 180CM.

At the press conference, no reporter asked the two defenders who was stronger. After this, the coffin can be concluded. Every time the two played against each other, Iverson took the lead and the shooting rate was double the gap. This time he was not as good as Guo Xu.

The reporter interviewed Guo Xu and asked: "The Suns now have a 50% win rate. What do you predict will be the final result?"

"It's not easy to say, it depends on many factors, we have to fight every game."

The reporter asked: "What do you think is the reason why the Sun wins the 76ers?"

"It's strong, isn't it obvious?"

The reporter asked: "Coach Larry Brown thinks that throwing too many three-pointers will hurt the team. Before he faced the media criticizing you for making more three-pointers than the 76ers, what do you think?"

Guo Xu smiled and said: "What can I say about this? There are many people who like me and many who hate me. No one will satisfy everyone. For example, if the manager asks me: we plan to invite Larry Brown to come Will the Suns be the head coach? Will you? I must say no. "

There was a burst of laughter in the meeting place, which was another big news. Guo Xu showed that he couldn't look down on Brown.

The reporter asked: "The outside world said you made your teammates better. What do you think?"

"They are very good by themselves. I'm just helping them to develop their specialty. If they can't run fast, they can't jump high, and I will be caught when I play fast. We are mutually reinforcing."

The reporter asked: "How do you evaluate the Suns now?"

"We are the best team. Although it is relatively young, I firmly believe that the Sun will win the championship in the future, and this day should not be too far away."

Regardless of whether it is successful or not, Guo Xu shouted and said first, the Sun is a young team, it is normal to not win, there is no pressure. As long as he reached the second round, he was the same as Kidd's record.

The reporter asked: "What do you think of the Lakers? After you left, the Lakers' current situation is not very good."

"Because Shaker was injured ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The Lakers have a poor start record. I believe they will come up later. Shackles and Kobe are not weak in the Lakers lineup. I am looking forward to the Christmas War."

After the game, Guo Xu became the focus of the media and made headlines on sports news.

Now no one says Guo Xu "hugging his thighs" anymore. He took a group of newcomers and abused the 76ers, making Philadelphia fans desperate. Others suggested that Larry Brown leave class, believing that he is the most overrated head coach in the NBA.

The contradiction between Iverson and Brown began to intensify. In this time, he couldn't rush in and made a lot of three-pointers outside, only scoring one. He did not listen to Brown's command, saying that Brown's tactics were wrong.

Brown called the manager to ask for Iverson, and Iverson also called for Brown to get out. The two have been in conflict. Iverson has always lacked due respect to Brown, and Brown is not the kind of coach who is good at coaxing stars.

Brown's ideal model is the Pistons Five Tigers basketball. Iverson obviously cannot play that way, and the 76ers do not have the Five Tigers.

Brown has been in Philadelphia for 6 seasons and is the longest coaching team in his life. This fate is almost over.
