Legend of Tomorrow

On June 21, the Suns faced the 76ers at home.

The 76ers passed an overtime game at home the day before yesterday, defeating the Lakers 107 to 104, a record of 18 wins and 9 losses, morale is booming.

This is another focal point of the nation's live broadcast. The league is promoting Jason Guo VS Iverson three days in advance.

When David Stern and his men arranged the matchup table, they deliberately let the 76ers fight against the Lakers and the Suns. Regardless of the result, the media were good at promoting.

If the 76ers win two games in a row, they advertise that the Lakers ’three giants were all unsatisfactory after they were disbanded. They were led by Iverson to defeat them one by one, and their revenge was successful. Fans will buy it.

If one wins and one loss, take the Lakers Big Three as an essay and compare Kobe with Guo Xu. The two are the most popular defenders in the West. Their fans must also hope that the idols will be better.

In any case, this game is full of gimmicks.

Before the Suns lost seven games in a row, many experts analyzed that Guo Xu's ability to lead the team was not as good as Iverson. Guo Xu needed to prove himself and strive for a five-game winning streak.

Philadelphia fans want to watch Iverson lead the team to brutalize Guo Xu and Sun. Before the start of the season, Guo Xu had an interview saying that the East are optimistic about the Pistons and Nets, not the 76ers. Must hit face!

After the game, Iverson made an interview and made it clear that he hopes to win the sun. The person he wants to win the most is Guo Xu.

Regardless of whether Guo Xu held the group in the Lakers, Iverson was severely suppressed for two years, because the 51 points in the finals, the two's evaluations were completely reversed. Now Guo Xu loses the order, and Iverson has no reason to lose again. If he loses, it is difficult for fans to find a reason to prove that he is stronger.

On the official strength list, the 76ers have always been in front, and the Suns only ranked 21st before winning the Kings. No one is optimistic about their entry to the playoffs.

Iverson was also a little depressed for this. After the coaching, the sun suddenly became stronger. He thought he could easily give a bad breath. Now the pressure is on his side again.

The game China CCTV5 was also broadcast live. The ratings of the Sun became very high, and the fans were conquered in a few games. On the court, it is a truth that the offense wins the fans.

Guo Xu made a final appearance and received the warmest applause from the audience.

After warming up, Guo Xu went to the sidelines, wiped his hands with the magnesium powder prepared on the technical platform, and then grabbed the remaining magnesium powder, throwing his hands into the air, and spread his arms to lay out the classics of lore. action.

The enthusiasm of the fans was ignited at once, and they clapped and shouted wildly.

The flying magnesium powder is Guo Xu's way of showing domineering. He declared to fans and opponents that he is the owner of this stadium!

Zhang reasonable smiled and said: "Guo Xu has already started to celebrate before the game has started. I have never seen such an opening ceremony."

Xu Jicheng sighed: "He really has a domineering world now, more and more like a superstar. Recently in this wave of winning streak, the Suns are like a rebirth."

In fact, Guo Xu had a meaning in doing so, and he took James's way, leaving James nowhere to go.

High school student James will enter the league next year, Guo Xu is now coming out like this, and then the young frivolous James can only be his imitator if he wants to make a show. Guo Xu didn't do this in the opening stage because the team's record was not good. Now he believes that the sun will get better and better. At this time, it will not show.

After sprinkling the magnesium powder, Guo Xu left the area before daring to let go of his breath and took a deep breath of fresh air. The technical platform has been heavily polluted at pm2.5, too much inhalation will affect the competitive state.

The players on both sides stood in the field. Due to Guo Xu's show, the Suns have already overpowered the 76ers in momentum.

Suns: Guo Xu, Joe Johnson, Kirisek, Marion, Stardamer.

76ers: Iverson, Snow, Aron McGee, Keith Van Horn, Todd McLodge.

Zhang reasonable wonder: "This sun has changed, Marion came to power forward, the newly joined Kirisek entered the lineup, is this to make the counterattack faster?"

Xu Jicheng smiled and said: "Guo Xu and D'Antoni are both offensive people. Kirisek will become as soon as he gets to the sun, and there must be something special about him."

Kirisek showed his specialty for the first time he participated in the team training. He was very accurate in catching and shooting, and he was sure of the open three-pointers. His breakthrough ability was also better than that of Suns No. 22 rookie Jacquesson.

Kirisek is 25 years old this year. He has extensive experience in Europe and is an immediate player. Since the start of the game, coach Sun has given Jacquesson a lot of performance opportunities. He only played well in a few games, and he performed badly most of the time.

There is a gap in the strength of the two, D'Antoni decided to reduce the playing time of Jacobson.

The 76ers have also changed. Coleman, who is in poor condition, is responsible for taking the bench. In the summer, they traded back to the finals with the Nets, and played the blue-collar center Todd McLoch.

Sending veteran Mutombo back to Van Horn, the 76ers' overall attack power has improved a lot, and the defense has become weak.

Stoudemire won the ball and the game began.

The ball was passed to Guo Xu, the players all pulled away, and the 76ers' defensive tactics were man-to-man. Larry Brown believes that joint defense is absolutely unusable. There are too many people who can shoot three-pointers from the Suns, and it is mainly counterattacks. Players have no time to organize joint defense.

Stoudemire played a pick-and-roll in the middle, Guo Xu moved the ball away from Iverson and walked left to the bottom line.

Todd, a white center with a height of 213cm and a weight of 127kg, was a little nervous. He encountered this situation many times in the finals last year, and every time there was no good result. He is not only heavy, but also has excessive fat, and his movement speed is very slow, which cannot keep up with Guo Xu's rhythm.

Todd changed defense a little bit slower, Guo Xu speeded past him, and took three easy steps to get into basketball, 2 to 0.

The 76ers attacked, Guo Xu lowered his center of gravity and put Iverson two steps away.

Iverson reduced his three-point shots this season and focused on breakthroughs. His average of 27 points per game was a lot lower than last season's stats, but his shooting percentage improved to 42%.

Guo Xu deliberately put a distance, so Iverson is not easy to find cover, that is, he is the main single, he does not want to watch Stoudemire change Iverson, he could not be fouled after a few rounds and stayed.

Todela came out to play a pick-and-roll, Guo Xu directly pulled back and bypassed, waiting for Iverson to come from the three-point line. The distance must not be able to cover Iverson's shot, but if he wants to shoot, he must be in the middle distance ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ outside the three-point line, or one step inside the three-point line.

After two years of playing, Guo Xu can be sure that this is the area where Iverson's hit rate is low, and it usually does not reach 40% under interference.

Iverson chose a one-stop stop shot in the three-point line. Guo Xu stepped forward without a slight interference and the goal was scored. 2 to 2.

When the Sun attacked, Iverson didn't dare to let Guo Xu take a shot, he was close to halftime, Guo Xu and other teammates took cover, changed to the right, and once again got rid of Iverson to the bottom line.

This time Todd kept up, Guo Xu faced the ball with his right hand and turned to the left, observed the middle with the afterglow of his eyes, and passed the ball to Stoudemire.

Stoudemire ran back after covering, synchronized with Guo Xu's rhythm, took the ball in a step, and dunked the ball with one hand.

Iverson couldn't stop Stoudemire's air cut, Van Horn was following Marion in the bull's corner, and the inside was completely empty. Even if Van Horn is in the basket, he can't prevent Stoudemire's strong attack against the weaker.

4 to 4, Guo Xu's first assist.

Obviously, the 76ers also can't prevent the pick-and-roll of the sun.
