Legend of Tomorrow

Marion and Stoudemire, who had rested for a while in the second quarter, came up to lead the bench. The other three were Blake, Kirisek, and Haslem.

The five Cavaliers are Bremer, Kapono, Jacobson, Jelani McCoy, and Jack Voskull.

In 5 minutes, the two sides fought wildly, and the score was 6 to 6. Both teams were completely different from the offense in the previous quarter.

Without Guo Xu, the Suns' counterattack was not good, and running and gunning turned into wild shots. Although it was the same whoever had the opportunity to throw, Marion, Kirisek, and Haslem were not in good condition.

The most diligent player on the Cavaliers' side was former Suns player Jacobsen. He wanted to prove himself, but the result was counterproductive and he made 0 of 3 shots.

Center Voskull also played for the Suns for one year and was the fourth pick in the second round in 2000. He was poached by the Cavaliers after his contract expired in 2002. His performance was good, scoring 4 points and assisting Kapono's mid-range shot.

The starters from both sides returned one after another, and Guo Xu led the team to a 13-2 run, quickly widening the point difference to 22 points.

Cavaliers coach Silas was forced to request a timeout. After adjusting, he still couldn't defend. Boozer and Big Z were too easy to break through in the pick-and-roll.

At halftime, the Suns led 67 to 46.

There was a problem with the Cavaliers' offense. Davis played 7 minutes, made 0 of 4 shots and scored no points, and all his statistics were zero. Big Z made 1 of 4 shots and scored 2 points and 1 rebound. Only James performed better, making all 2 shots, 3 of 4 free throws, 7 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.

Guo Xu focused on breakthroughs in both positional battles and counterattacks. He made 4 of 5 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 11 points and 3 assists. In the half, he scored 33 points and 10 assists. pair.

Silas was helpless about this. Big Z defended the penalty area well, but the Suns big man did not attack the penalty area. He pulled out the screen again and again to help Guo Xu create mismatch opportunities. If he failed to break through, he could still pass the ball and run around without the ball. A teammate catches the ball and shoots directly, or makes secondary arrangements.

Joe Johnson is like a fish in water in the Suns system today. When facing a big man in a mismatch, he can break through with the ball even if he doesn't have a direct shot. He can also attract the big man to switch defenses and find an opening to pass to his inside teammates who cut through the air. This is something Bell and Kirisek can't do. They can only catch and shoot.

If Joe Johnson has been playing as a substitute this season, he will definitely be able to compete for the best sixth man, and Guo Xu is also playing very comfortably.

Guo Xu feels that the two of them are like the combination of Curry and Durant in the previous life. They can shoot three-pointers, attack with the ball, and can also attract defense to pass the ball to teammates. Of course, Joe Johnson is a weakened version, and his personal ability cannot be compared with Duran. Special comparison.

Bell worked hard defensively,

Catching and shooting can guarantee a three-point shooting percentage, but the shots are relatively small, which can be regarded as a weakened version of Klay Thompson. The Suns' interior lineup is much deeper than that of the championship Warriors, which makes it easier for Guo Xu to provide assists.

The Suns scored a total of 27 points in this quarter, almost all of which were scored in the last 7 minutes.

In the second half, D'Antoni abandoned the sleepwalking Haslem and sent in Nene, Stoudemire Twin Towers, Marion small forward, and Joe Johnson shooting guard inside.

Cavaliers coach Silas made a serious mistake. He let Kevin Ollie, a combo guard who is 193cm tall and weighs 90kg, play for 7 minutes and face off against Guo Xu, which made him explode again during this period. .

Kevin Ollie is one of the most famous homeless people in the NBA. He entered the NBA in the 1997 non-draft process and has played for 10 teams so far. Others often play for one season and are replaced, but Ollie is used to playing for half of the season. He was used as a bargaining chip after just one season.

The only time he was not traded in the mid-term was with the 76ers in the 1999-00 season. He did not play a full season, but he was reimbursed after playing only 40 games. As a result, the 76ers failed to trade this patient in the mid-term and waited until the following year. Then he was sent to the Nets.

Ollie has been an ordinary screw-type player throughout his life. He has no physical advantages except being strong. He is an excellent defender on the ball. He is also a player who controls the ball steadily and makes few mistakes. In his previous life, he relied on defense and played 13 seasons in the NBA despite not being able to shoot long shots at all and lacking offensive means.

However, Ollie was quickly beaten. Guo Xu switched to playing without the ball and let Joe Johnson take charge of the organization. He relied on the cover of the two big men to constantly run in and out, catch the ball and shoot. Heavy defender Ollie is not fast and is weak in defense without the ball.

Joe Johnson's task is very simple. He only needs to use his strong body to protect the basketball and pass it to Guo Xu, without caring about other teammates.

The big man's change of defense slowed Guo Xu to catch the ball. Guo Xu's position in the change of defense was outside, and Guo Xu broke through with the ball in a misplaced position. Ollie or a wing player came up to double-team, and Guo Xu took advantage of the situation and distributed the ball to his teammates.

When Silas determined that Big Z and Boozer would be unable to guard Guo Xu when they played together, the point difference widened to 35 points.

Currently, the Cavaliers have no replacement inside lineman who is good at guarding pick-and-rolls. Voskull is a white center who is 211cm tall and weighs 113kg. His athletic ability is also very poor.

If Darius were to play the 4th position, he would be fast enough, but his frame protection would be a little worse. Moreover, he is just fast and can easily get passed by defenders. Talented, great quality, unstable shooting, and inactive defense. These are the mistakes that high school players are prone to make, and Darius has not missed any of them.

The Cavaliers' lineup has no chance of making the playoffs. If no trade is made in the mid-term, they may end up at the bottom of the league.

The Cavaliers manager has made up his mind to send Ricky Davis away. He will stay temporarily to let him improve his statistics and increase the value of the transaction. This guy is too vicious. He makes a lot of shots when attacking and doesn't pay attention to defense. It's called concentrating on the offensive end.

As long as Guo Xu stays on Davis' side, he won't be flanked and defended. He can shoot directly or calmly beat the big man alone. He focused on personal scoring in this quarter, scoring 25 points and 2 assists. He played only 31 minutes in total, scored 58 points, 2 rebounds, 12 assists and 3 steals, and made 11 of 16 three-pointers. He was completely crazy.

The Suns led 102 to 70 by 32 points, and the game entered garbage time. The Cavaliers' offensive power was not strong. Even if the Suns did not score a point next, they might not be able to reverse and win.

Barkley said: Jason is only one away from the league record of 12 three-pointers in a single game that he and Kobe shared. If he continues to play in the final quarter, I think he will definitely set a new record.

Smith said: It's a pity that he won't be able to play. The team is too far ahead.

Barkley laughed: The cameraman gave James a close-up shot, and his expression was very confused. This is definitely not the result he wanted. I hope his mentality will not be affected.

Surprisingly, Guo Xu appeared again in the final quarter. He only played two rounds. During a counterattack, he forced a breakthrough and caused Bremer to foul. He was replaced after making two free throws and scored an integer of 60 points.

When Guo Xu came off the field, he received warm applause from the fans. He waved to the fans and high-fived his teammates one by one in celebration.

Zhang Lijia smiled and said: He thought the data was not perfect enough, so he came up and scored 60+10. Fans with obsessive-compulsive disorder can have a good sleep tonight, otherwise the two-point difference will be very uncomfortable.

Xu Jicheng said: Guo Xu shot 70% from the field today, 68.8% from the three-point range, and made all free throws. If he plays the entire final quarter, I think he can definitely break 70 points and challenge 80 points.

Zhang Lijia smiled and said: He only played 32 minutes, and his efficiency can be recorded in history. He has the ability to score 40+20, and today is another way of performance. I don't know when he will be able to score in a game. If he doesn't pass the ball, his single-game scoring will definitely be ridiculously high.
