Legend of Tomorrow

Nurkic got stuck and grabbed a backcourt rebound. His advantage is that he is good at grabbing rebounds and passed it to Guo Xu for a fast break.

Guo Xu quickly rushed across the half court with the ball, dribbling continuously in front of the right three-point line and then retreating. Parker's center of gravity shifted back, and Green let go of Robertson and rushed to cover.

After Guo Xu jumped up, he passed the ball to Robertson who was running to the right. He rushed out as soon as he landed. He used his speed to run without the ball to get rid of Green. He received Robertson's close pass and carried Parker forward. Pull up the lever under the basket.

After he jumped up, he attracted Gasol to cover up the defense without making a strong shot. He passed the ball from Gasol's side to the middle. Nurkic followed up with a one-handed dunk and scored. 8 to 6.

The unlucky Gasol was very motivated to defend. As soon as he landed, he turned around and tried to defend. As a result, he was staggered by Nurkic and looked like he was dunked.

This offense will definitely be selected into the top five goals. Guo Xu will have at least one goal in every game this season and will be selected into the top five. He has made breakthroughs.

Barkley lamented: After Nurkic entered the playoffs, his offensive end became very brutal, averaging a double-double per game.

O'Neal commented: His athletic ability is actually average, and he can easily be left vacant when playing pick-and-rolls with Jason. His best offensive skill is not dunks, but throws and hooks. His touch in the penalty area is very soft.

Smith said with a smile: When Jason breaks through, his whole body is full of fake moves. No one can stop him from breaking through.

Nurkic's performance in the playoffs was particularly eye-catching. He played 28 minutes in the last four games, averaging 16.5 points, 10 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2 blocks per game. His best performance was 26 points and 13 rebounds in the first game. He played very well again today, scoring and grabbing rebounds.

The Spurs were running without the ball and almost ran out of 24 seconds. Parker missed a breakaway throw under Ade's cover and the rebound was grabbed by Nurkic. He released the ball quickly and there was a mismatch on the court.

Guo Xu caught the ball and made a fast break, and Leonard followed up at full speed.

Guo Xu slowed down in front of the three-point line, dribbled the ball from his hip to his left hand, and suddenly changed direction to the right.

Leonard followed this step and retreated. Guo Xu's fake action was very realistic. He took a big step with his right leg and stopped suddenly. He dribbled the ball under his right hand to his left hand and retreated. This was a reverse crotch dribble. Leonard reacted quickly and quickly stopped to rush forward without being shaken away.

Unexpectedly, before Guo Xu finished his fake move, he made another Buddha with his left hand and broke through to the right. This time Leonard couldn't keep up and lost his center of gravity and was almost knocked to the ground.

His physical coordination is excellent;

He gave up his defense and tried his best to stabilize his center of gravity so as not to make a fool of himself.

Guo Xu relied on Parker, who was chasing him, to take a three-step high and hit a layup, avoiding Aldridge's defense and scoring.

10 to 6, Guo Xu's sixth personal point, another wonderful breakthrough that can be selected as one of the top five goals.

Popovich was the first to request a timeout. He wanted to adjust his defensive strategy and had to double-team. He could see how easily Guo Xu broke through, and he would definitely explode with this kind of defensive intensity.

During the timeout, the commentators broadcasting the game were all talking about Guo Xu's breakthrough ability, thinking that he could beat anyone.

Not only is he physically strong, but he also has an excellent grasp of rhythm. He will choose different offensive methods according to different defenses, and combine basic dribbling movements to make breakthroughs look extremely gorgeous.

The game continued, the Spurs still passed inside, and Ade singled out Nurkic and pulled him out to the left and made a step-back jumper. 10 to 8.

When the Lakers attacked, Guo Xu was double-teamed on the outside as soon as the half was over. After passing the ball, he ran and was double-teamed on the right side. He passed the ball to Booker.

Gasol defended Booker, Booker assigned it to Horford in the middle, and Green let go of Robertson to defend. Horford's excellent passing awareness saw the space and quickly transferred the ball to the left corner.

Robertson was completely free, took a shot at a three-pointer, and Adelaide grabbed the rebound.

The Spurs' offense was organized patiently, and Green ran to the left to catch the ball and hit a three-pointer, 10 to 11.

When the Lakers attacked, Guo Xu broke through and was double-teamed by Parker and Green. He passed to Robertson who was cutting from the baseline. Ade turned around and fouled, sending him to the free throw line.

Robertson missed two free throws and the ball was handed over to the Spurs.

He is a player that people love to hate. He is very active in defense, good at rebounding, and plays hard when he is on the court. But his offense was so bad. Not only was his long-distance shooting poor, but his free throw shooting rate in the playoffs was only 40%. The opponent can let him shoot, and he can use the shark-cutting tactic when he cuts the opponent.

Popovich emphasized hybrid defense, with the point guard following Guo Xu throughout the game, double-teaming nearby, and trying to let Booker and Robertson take action.

Tyronn Lue reacted poorly and did not want to make a substitution when the ball was dead. When Guo Xu walked to the sidelines to drink water, he communicated with him in a low voice and asked him to substitute two people.

If no adjustments are made at this time, it will be difficult for the Lakers to suppress the Spurs in the first quarter. Guo Xu also knows the ball. He thinks that Nurkic can't guard Ade anyway, and he can't guard the pick-and-roll. It's better to let someone with strong mobility take the lead.

In his impression, the Warriors' Draymond Green was effective in defending Ade. It is impossible to block a player like Adelaide. If you keep interfering closely and make it difficult for him to turn around, you will often have better results. At least Tucker can shoot three-pointers as a power forward. Green is not so easy to shoot when encountering a screen. Horford can defend him as a center.

After hearing what Guo Xu said, Tailong Lu immediately followed it without getting angry, and realized it later. He thinks this is a good move. The Spurs' two inside lines are relatively weak and like to shoot rather than attack hard. When it comes to strong attacks, their efficiency is average, and Horford can withstand it.

After the free throws, Robertson and Nurkic came off the court, and Carter came on to add a three-pointer. His defense against Leonard was average, and he was beaten for two points and scored 30 points, but he couldn't kill anyone.

The Spurs attack, Green can't run out of space, Tucker can block him when he catches the ball. Green passed the ball to Ade, and Tucker quickly retreated and blocked Ade from the penalty area.

There is a height difference between the two of them. Adelaide leaned against Tucker twice but could not squeeze Tucker. He lacked strength in the lower body. He turned 50 degrees to the left and stepped back to shoot. This time the dribbling rhythm was not good and he missed the ball.

The Spurs players returned to defense very quickly. Guo Xu attracted a double team in the position battle and quickly separated Tucker from the bottom corner. The latter easily hit the ball. 13 to 11.

Barkley said: Tucker performed as soon as he came on the court. He mainly relied on shooting three-pointers from the corner to score. This substitution was very timely. When the Lakers selected Tyronn Lue as their head coach, everyone thought it was a weakness. Unexpectedly, he did a good job. .”

O'Neal smiled and said: With Jason here, the coach doesn't need to do too much. Without Jason, D'Antoni will no longer be able to lead the Suns to win the championship. The Lakers may not even make the playoffs without him.

Tyronn Lue was very convinced on the sidelines. Guo Xu was probably better than him as a coach. His mind worked very quickly. Playing Tucker really worked.

The defense will have weaknesses after Robertson rests, and Leonard starts to play.

The two sides were evenly matched in the first quarter, with the battle tied at 30. Guo Xu scored 13 points and 5 assists, the best performance of the two teams.

Both sides came off the bench in the second quarter. The Spurs were led by Duncan and Ginobili, and the other three were Diaw, Mills, and Green, who had the upper hand. The Lakers' newcomers performed well in downwind games, but had problems with their mentality when playing tough games. They were quickly beaten 11-2 by the Spurs.

Tyronn Lue allowed Guo Xu to rest for only 4 minutes before returning to the court. He immediately scored 7 points in a row to lead the team to stabilize the situation. The Lakers fell behind by 1 point at halftime.

In the second half, Guo Xu led the team in a wonderful fast break. He scored consecutively, attracted double teams and assisted his teammates, gaining a 12-point advantage in one breath.

In the second half of the third quarter, Gasol showed off his power, beating Horford in consecutive singles and turning around and throwing and scoring. Mills and Ginobili also hit three-pointers, tenaciously chasing the score back...
