Chapter 118 - [Roll the calf, 3 heads]
Just over half of the first quarter, the two sides scored a high score.
Sanders called for a timeout to strengthen the defense. He made it clear that Guo Xu was stronger than the current tens of millions of veteran Trier Brandon.
Guo Xu’s style of play is similar to Trier’s, with a pick-and-roll breakthrough, a catch shot, fast speed and range. Guo Xusheng was young, he had a strong explosive force, and his strength also prevailed during the confrontation.
If Guo Xu is also a lotto show, Sanders will not be depressed, but Guo Xu’s pick is too low, and the Timberwolves holding the second round of the 22nd pick can choose him. The management chose a shooting guard named Igor Lakosevich, did not sign, and wasted a draft pick.
After a timeout, Sanders replaced Trier, and replaced the shooting guard Anthony Piller with a height of 193CM and a weight of 94 kg. In this way, Billups can rely on his physical advantage to eat Guo Xu in position 1. However, the Timberwolves’ pre-game deployment has been disrupted. Sanders originally regarded Trier as the key to defeating the Lakers. As a result, Trier was a defensive loophole.
Trier looked back unwillingly. He felt that Guo Xu was like himself when he was young, but his luck was much better. Guo Xu played for the Lakers and is likely to win the championship ring this year. He is still empty-handed and has never played in big cities.
The three teams Trier has played for are the Cleveland Cavaliers, Milwaukee Bucks and Minnesota Timberwolves. If the NBA team’s city is divided into one, two, three and four lines, these three teams are probably on the fourth line, seriously lacking in competitiveness.
Two suspensions, “Zen Master” Jackson did not use the tactical board, but just emphasized a few triangle offenses, let the players stare at their own people, the suspension time is too long.
It’s really easy to be a coach like this. Jackson’s great strength is the control of the team, the management of the stars, and the technical and tactical aspects are not his strengths.
This is good news for Guo Xu, even if he is at a disadvantage compared to Lupus, the “Zen Master” will not immediately replace him to rest, and will be happy to see him on the field to find a way to fight. As long as his performance on the defensive end is not too bad, the playing time will definitely increase. With Harper absent, it is not surprising that he plays 35 minutes.
The game continued. Billups faced Guo Xu without looking for a pick-and-roll. He scored a three-pointer in the middle. Guo Xu predicted accurately and jumped out of the interference. The ball came out of the frame.
Billups is a heavy defender with average speed and average breakthrough ability. He usually scores two points by eating hard opponents, and is best at peripheral shots. In Guo Xu’s previous life, this man was once called the “ball blind appraisal device”. Guo Xu knew him too well, otherwise he would be embarrassed to post on the Chinese NBA forum.
In the Lakers position battle, O’Neal made a strong attack in the low position, attracted Garnett to wrap up, turned around and hooked the iron, Grant grabbed the frontcourt rebounds, and the second attack was blocked by Garnett who turned around.
There was a mess at the rim, O’Neal grabbed an offensive rebound and just wanted to grab it. Szebiak slammed the basketball from below.
Szebiak made a long pass to find Billups who reached for the ball. Guo Xu knew how strong Billups was. He chose a gambling steal in the retracement and jumped with one hand to hit the basketball and stopped it. Passing the ball, the ball fell and was picked up by Bryant, who had withdrawn.
Guo Xu immediately flicked off Billups after landing, and received a Kobe pass to grab a three-pointer one meter away from the 70-degree three-point line on the left. No one interfered. The hollow hit!
22 to 16, Guo Xu’s 12th.
Woodson cried: “Jason scored another three-pointer, and today he is likely to break his individual scoring record.”
Hovas said: “He did very well on the defensive end, and Billups failed in two rounds.”
Billups couldn’t make a breakthrough in the next round and gave the ball to Garnett. He also entangled Guo Xu without running.
Guo Xu is difficult to defend against Billups, but he has teammates. His close defense made it difficult for Billups to turn around. It was enough to be unable to put a cold arrow on the outside. If Billups pressed his body to force him to break through, the speed could not be fast, and the Lakers could help defense.
After a few passes, Szebiak faced Leder with a midrange shot and O’Neal grabbed a rebound. When returning, Garnett yelled at Szebiak and was dissatisfied with his attack. .
Szebiak was selected by the Timberwolves in sixth place in the first round in 1999. The coach did not arrange tactics for him. In fact, he has a strong personal offensive ability, comprehensive skills, can take on more responsibilities, but now he rarely take the initiative to attack the ball.
Last season, Szebiak, who was born with a calf and is not afraid of the tiger, was dissatisfied with the ball and tried to hold the ball on the court. As a result, he was given a hard lesson by the team boss.
Garnett told Szebiak in the locker room: “Some people don’t know who this team is!” Then the two clashed, and Garnett wrote “You give me a calf” The punch hit the poor rookie’s face.
And the two of the fans are most familiar with the fact that Garnett spit saliva directly on Szebiak’s face.
At that time, the Timberwolves played against the Raptors. Garnett sat on the bench early because of a foul. Szebiak was blamed by the coach for missing a goal. During the suspension, a surprising scene appeared. Nate was so upset that he spit saliva on Szebiak’s face, which made everyone stunned. Perhaps “Wolf King” also realized that his behavior was a bit inappropriate, and quietly walked away ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ After the game, Garnett was absent from the press conference. Two days later, a reporter found him on the training ground. When this matter was mentioned, Garnett said: “Frankly speaking, it was just a misunderstanding. Someone just wanted to magnify it deliberately. I was a little out of control at the time, and Szebiak played so badly, he should I have learned a few lessons, and I ’m just doing it for you. “
With Garnett in, the Timberwolves are rookie hells, not only confidence, but also psychological impact.
Offensive position, O’Neill’s strong attack caused Nestorovic to foul and hit the free throw line.
During the dead ball, both sides began to replace, Guo Xu came off, Brian Shaw, Timberwolves replaced Nestorwich, replaced Lafonso Ellis.
Teammates and Guo Xu high-five to celebrate, his outstanding performance is an important reason for the Lakers to lead.
Jackson called Guo Xu to himself and said in a straight voice: “You can only rest for a while and keep this excitement, as long as Trier appears, I will let you go, I will arrange for you to stay in position, I believe you can fight Explode him. “
“No problem.” Guo Xu smiled, he likes to listen to this too much.
Guo Xu is the best match for Trier. If he is not the main defense, it is not difficult for Trier to pass Brian Shaw of 198CM. Kobe can also defend Trier, but Jackson wants him to deal with the swingman. .
Jackson began to give Guo Xujia the task, the coaching staff is very clear, veteran Harper is injured at this age, it is not easy to restore the state, waiting for Harper can only be retired after the end of the season, Brian Shaw also fell obviously in Before Fisher returned, the No. 1 position had to be supported by Guo Xu.
To the importance of the Lakers, Guo Xu has been called the three heads.
On the field, O’Neill made two free throws, 24 to 16, the Lakers’ advantage is getting bigger and bigger.
