Legend of Tomorrow

? Guo Xu didn’t pass the ball to his teammates much to get a feel for the game. After one game, it was no problem. His teammates are very capable, and he can seize the opportunity when he passes the ball and has a little space.

He feels that the current depth of the Suns' lineup is no worse than that of Earth 2's Magic. It is slightly inferior in positional warfare, but the advantage lies in the speed of transition between offense and defense. Stars are more likely to produce luxurious statistics and can complete an offense in less than 10 seconds.

Xu Jicheng said: This small-scale cooperation of the Suns is really pleasing to the eye. Stoudemire knew that Guo Xu would definitely pass the ball after he broke through. Brand jumped up as soon as he came out, and then the ball came.

Zhang Lijia smiled and said: Let Yalic be the main defender, Guo Xu can fight however he wants. The Clippers have to double-team.

Yalic also has an advantage, and that is his height. He brought it inside the three-point line and leaned against Guo Xu, then turned around and hit a two-point jump shot, which was a natural mismatch.

When the Suns attack, Guo Xu dribbles the ball to his left hand and then changes direction to the right. This is the weak side, and Bell is alone. Brand's two defenses left a gap. This time Maggette stepped in, Guo Xu took advantage of the situation and scored, and Bell hit an open three-pointer from the bottom corner. 7 to 4.

The Clippers attacked, Maggette forced Joe Johnson to break through and caused a foul, and made two free throws. 7 to 6.

Guo Xu continued the one-on-one challenge. He made the same movement in the middle and changed direction to the right. Yalic retreated further back this time. Guo Xu changed and took a step back with his right foot to score a mid-range shot, 9-6.

In Guo Xu's view, Yalic is a subpar point guard, a real defensive black hole. He likes to play against people who are not explosive and who retreat far away, and can't block shots at all. His release speed is very fast, and he throws the ball before the opponent takes off.

The Clippers attacked, and Brand beat Stoudemire hard in the low post, squeezed into the penalty area with his strength, turned around and hit a hook shot. 9 to 8.

When the Suns attacked, Guo Xu dribbled the ball from his crotch to his left hand. Yalic was waiting for him to change direction, but it didn't change this time. He directly stepped back with his left foot and shot a three-point line jumper. Yalic reacted half a beat too late. Coming forward is only a slight disturbance.

Guo Xu hit a three-pointer, 12-8.

Zhang Lili said: Guo Xu opened the game with 5 points and 3 assists. Aren't the Clippers going to double-team?

Xu Jicheng said: I think the Clippers can't double-team. Their lineup flaws are too obvious, and it's not easy to replace them. Point guard Kenyon Doolin is on the injured list, and veteran Doug Overton is the substitute for defense. I’m afraid it’s not as good as Yalic.”

Clippers coach Dunleavy was watching the game quietly from the sidelines, and everything like improvising on the spot was just a cloud. The Clippers are one of the worst defensive teams in the league. With this lineup, no one can be the coach.

The Clippers run a pick-and-roll,

Wilcox was left open in the middle. He took the ball and aimed for a jump shot. Marion grabbed the rebound and passed it. Joe Johnson received the ball and changed direction and passed Maggette and sent a long pass.

Guo Xu completely got rid of Yalic on the right side, showing his speed advantage. He has played rugby, and after competing with Wade in sprints and return runs, he is better at seizing the opportunity to counterattack.

Guo Xu received the long pass with both hands, took two steps to get the ball and jumped with both feet. He made a performance that shocked everyone, and made a beautiful windmill dunk of the basketball with his right hand. 14 to 8.

The players on the Suns bench all stood up, and Haslem took the lead in waving towels and cheering. They all found it incredible that Guo Xu had never dunked like this during training.

The Los Angeles fans also gave Guo Xu warm applause. This offense will definitely be selected as the top five goals in this round.

Zhang Lili laughed and said: I just said that Guo Xu didn't want to dunk, not that he couldn't dunk, so he just put on a show. He dunked very beautifully when he was on the Great Wall in 2001. No NBA point guard can do this kind of action. There are not many people.”

Xu Jicheng lamented: Guo Xu often does amazing things, and his physical fitness has always been underestimated.

Brand picked up the ball with his back in the low post and singled out Stoudemire. He turned around and shot missed due to interference. Joe Johnson grabbed the rebound and Guo Xu quickly counterattacked. He passed the ball to Marion, who saw Wilcox. He retreated deeper and shot three-pointers from outside. The ball didn't go in, the chance was good and the choice was correct.

The Clippers attacked. Yalic relied on his height advantage to hit a three-point jumper against Guo Xu, and Stoudemire grabbed the rebound.

Guo Xu received the ball in the backcourt and advanced, turned around and passed Yalic first, attracted Wilcox to defend and then threw the ball high. Marion flew up to the right and dunked the basketball with both hands.

16 to 8, Guo Xu’s fourth assist.

Xu Jicheng laughed and said: Yaric's defense is to step aside half way, then follow the opponent, and almost ask the opponent for a tip.

Zhang Liji said: Faced with this kind of defensive intensity, Guo Xu can't even think about breaking out today.

Maggette held the ball and singled out Joe Johnson. Both of them were very strong. He was unable to use his strength to push out of the space. His emergency stop jumper missed due to interference. Marion got the backcourt rebound and passed it to Guo Xu, who immediately started. Fight back.

Yalic didn't dare to stand up to defend the breakthrough and kept retreating. Guo Xu took a step outside the right three-point line and missed the three-pointer. Wilcox grabbed the backcourt rebound...

The two sides played at a very fast pace in the first quarter. Guo Xu gradually forgot to pass the ball more. The thing to help his teammates is to make choices based on the situation on the court. When he had the opportunity, he shot very resolutely and led the team to take the initiative.

Yalic was replaced after 7 minutes. He committed two fouls and was passed by Guo Xu again and again. During the counterattack, he didn't know how to stop Guo Xu other than committing a foul. As soon as the distance between the two came close, he changed direction and got away without even understanding what was going on.

Overton, who came off the bench, is a combo guard who is 191cm tall and weighs 86kg. He mainly plays shooting guard. He is 34 years old and has played in the league for 11 seasons. He had been seriously injured multiple times, had problems with both knees, and was very slow laterally.

As a veteran who is about to retire, Overton averaged 22 minutes per game for the Clippers this season. This shows how bad the Clippers' outside lineup is, and they are going for the No. 1 pick.

Guo Xu's one-on-one breakthrough has become easier. After attracting double teams, he can also assist his teammates by passing the ball. He scored 13 points and 8 assists in a single quarter, leading the Suns to a 37-26 lead. Five starting players and two substitutes all scored.

The Clippers were supported by Captain Brand, who scored 11 points and 3 rebounds. He always scored and rebounded in double figures without making a sound.

In the second quarter, the Suns' substitutes had a problem and were suppressed by the Clippers players.

Blake hit the rookie wall, and it was psychological pressure that caused him to perform poorly. He is always afraid that he will hold back the team. He will hesitate during fast breaks and shooting, and the result will be worse.

The coaching staff felt that Guo Xu was responsible for Blake's unbalanced mentality. When the two were sparring, he was badly beaten by Guo Xu, which affected his confidence. Fans compare him with Guo Xu and always say that he is too weak, which adds insult to injury.

Josh Howard relies entirely on his body to play, has poor offensive options, and has not yet understood the difference between taking more responsibilities and wasting shots.

Nene's shortcomings are the same as Guo Xu's impression of his previous life: he has a weak desire to attack and is too selfless.

He rarely takes a shot unless there is a good opportunity. He rarely holds the ball and plays hard. Unless he is misplaced, he will choose to distribute the ball to his teammates. In fact, he plays alone against the opponent's center and has a physical advantage most of the time.

Rather than scoring high points, he seems to prefer maintaining a high shooting percentage, which makes him lack dominance on the offensive end.

Haslem was also in poor condition, missing both mid-range shots, and the Suns could only rely on Joe Johnson.

The Suns only stabilized the situation when Guo Xu came back from rest. He made 4 of 6 shots in this quarter, 0 of 1 three-pointers, 2 of 3 free throws, and scored 10 points and 3 assists. The Suns trailed 24 to 35 in a single quarter, and the two teams ended in a draw in the midfield.
