Legend of Tomorrow

Before the start of Game 3, Artest started provocation mode, saying that the Lakers would defeat the Suns at home.

Guo Xu scored 47 points in the game, which made Artest furious. If the opponent's main attacker was a swingman, he would go up, but his speed couldn't guard the point guard and he had no choice but to vent his anger with his big mouth.

On the offensive end, Artest's mentality was unbalanced. He scored only 11 points on 4 of 16 shots. What's even more depressing is that he put himself above the team and kept trying to challenge Roy, which led to the collapse of the team's offensive system in the final quarter.

Artest felt that it would be difficult for Kobe to challenge the Suns' defensive experts, but it would be easier for him to face Roy, and he would have more reason to take more shots. His idea may be correct, but he overestimated his ability. When he was with the Pacers, he often thought that he was stronger than O'Neal and was the leader of the Pacers.

Kobe felt very unhappy after Artest's words. The leader of the Lakers is Kobe. Is it Artest's turn to provoke opponents and lead the team?

Members of the Suns also accepted interviews with reporters after training in the morning. Guo Xu did not fight back against Artest, but acknowledged his opponent, surprising the Los Angeles reporters.

The Lakers do have a chance to defeat the Suns. Their lineup is very strong. If they can cooperate and work together as a team, I think it is normal to win one or two games against the Suns in the series. In my opinion, the Lakers have five stars, Bogut, O Dom and Ellis are very capable, especially Ellis. If you give him the ball, he will be a defender averaging 20+5 per game, I am sure of this.

The reporter was shocked. You think so highly of Ellis?

I've been very optimistic about him since last season. He has excellent physical fitness and skillful dribbling skills. He just lacks experience and needs to work hard on shooting. If he does these two things well, I wouldn't be surprised if he averages 25 points per game. Of course, he has to play smarter.

Guo Ai's statement that Ellis will become a 20+5 star is not nonsense. His personal ability is really strong, and he is strong in offense and weak in defense. However, he must have a suitable tactical system. When he arrives in the Suns, he can only develop in the direction of the sixth man. He is not suitable to start with Guo Xu, because then he will have to play the 2nd position and sacrifice the team's defense.

The team most suitable for Ellis is probably the Nuggets. George Karl doesn't care about defense at all. It's too normal for 191CM to be a shooting guard.

The reporter asked: How do you evaluate Bogut?

His model in the draft was Duncan. Isn't it a matter of course that he has the potential to become a star? I think he will become a double-double player sooner or later.

The reporter asked: If the Lakers have a strong lineup, why can't they beat the Suns? Don't you think the Suns have a stronger lineup?

“The Suns’ lineup is certainly stronger.

Guo Xu smiled and said: And I like to study the opponent's lineup and decide how to play based on the characteristics of the players. After more research, I sometimes think about how I would help them develop their strengths if I were their teammate. I think this is called knowing yourself and your enemy, and winning every battle.

The reporter asked: You once said that Roy's model is Kobe. Now many fans think so too, but he said that he hopes he is Pippen of the Suns. What do you think?

Guo Xu shook his head and smiled bitterly: I think his statement needs to be corrected. He can use anyone as a template, just don't choose Pippen. Isn't this a curse on himself? Doesn't he know what Pippen has become like recently? ?”

...

Everyone knows that Pippen often insults Guo Xu, and Guo Xu is not polite to this celebrity. This person is really a failure.

His good partner Jordan's various investments plus Nike's share are now worth close to 1 billion US dollars. However, Pippen went bankrupt due to the failure of various investments. There is news that the 42-year-old is planning to return to play in low-level professional leagues abroad. make money.

Roy's previous life ended very badly, and Guo Xu didn't want this honest new teammate to follow that old path. In addition, Guo Xu said this to change the topic. Roy wants to be Pippen, what will Stoudemire and Marion think? Did he want to seize the class and seize power to become the second boss before he even finished his rookie season?

That night, the game was played on time at the Staples Center.

When the players came out, the home fans cheered for the Lakers, hoping they could win against the Suns and not be swept.

CCTV5 broadcast the game live. Zhang Lijia said: Guo Xu affirmed the strength of the Lakers during the interview and was not booed when he came out. I didn't expect that the player he was most optimistic about turned out to be Monta Ellis as a substitute.

Yu Jia laughed and said: I feel like Guo Xu is trying to discredit Kobe. Eisley only averaged about 10 points per game for the Lakers, but Guo Xu said that he has the ability to score 20 points, which implicitly means that Kobe is ruining his teammates. .

Zhang Li said with a smile: You will know next season whether he is a black man or not. The Lakers have no salary space and it will be difficult to renew Ellis' contract. If Ellis wants more ball rights, it is impossible for him to choose to cut his salary and renew his contract to stay in the Lakers. .

The starting lineup for both sides was the Suns' five players: Guo Xu, Bell, Roy, Marion, and Stoudemire.

Lakers five: Ellis, Kobe, Artest, Odom, Bogut.

The other two possessions were in a sluggish state, and Zen Master Jackson could only reuse Ellis and let him start as a guest at the No. 1 position. Although he only started running back and forth, he rarely had the opportunity to attack with the ball and could only occasionally counterattack.

Ellis has plenty of energy, so being a substitute is a bit wasteful, and as long as it doesn't enter garbage time, Kobe averages more than 40 minutes per game, so the two can't stagger their playing time.

If these people were in their prime in previous lives, this series could be said to be an All-Star Game. Guo Xu praised the Lakers' role players in an interview because he knew their potential. If they leave the Lakers and break out in the future, he can also rely on divine predictions to attract attention.

Kobe Bryant glared at Guo Xu fiercely. He already knew the content of the pre-game interview and felt that Guo Xu was mocking him for not being able to lead the team. He believed that Guo Xu was doing whatever it took to win and wanted to sow discord between him and his teammates.

If Kobe said what was on his mind, many people in the Lakers would scoff.

Is there any need to sow discord between you and your teammates? You don't talk to your teammates much in the locker room.

Bogut won the jump ball and the Lakers attacked first. Eisley dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Guo Xu let his favorite man go two steps away to guard against penetration but not the shot, knowing that his three-point shot was unreliable now.

Ellis distributed the ball to Kobe according to the coach's arrangement, and Bell immediately defended closely.

Kobe dribbled the ball horizontally and passed it to Bogut, who was in a 45-degree position on the right. This was the arrangement of Zen Master Jackson. He believed that Bogut had an advantage in beating Stoudemire, and asked Kobe to pass the ball more, and then wait for Varejao to play before playing by himself. Artest is in the right corner, and the three form a triangle.

Bogut is indeed physically stronger than Stoudemire, and he also has excellent low-post footwork. He hit the baseline twice and turned around to hit a rebound shot. 0 to 2.

The Suns attacked, Guo Xu brought the ball to the frontcourt, and his teammates all opened up. Artest let go of Roy and double-teamed Guo Xu.

The Lakers were scared by Guo Xu in the last game. Several guards could not defend alone. Ellis, who is strong in offense and weak in defense, would definitely be unlucky.

Guo Xu took advantage of the situation and passed the ball to Roy. The latter's left corner attracted Odom to cover and passed the ball to the left baseline. Bogut covered again. Marion took a step and passed the high ball. Stoudemire Dunk the basketball with both hands. 2 to 2.

Double-teaming Guo Xu is destined to leave space. The Sunshine's record-breaking performance is not just because of the star's individual singles ability. They have been very selfless this season, no one is brushing up on statistics, and they will quickly move the ball to create opportunities for their teammates.

If there are no unique players in the team, the offense will become very smooth. Having more players is the key to winning.
