Legend of Tomorrow

The Suns playoff 1 list was quickly determined, and combo guard David Wesley was excluded.

"Mickey Mouse" is now slow to move the point guard, the point guard is short and tall, and can only rely on one muscle to find confrontation. The most important thing is that he missed his shooting percentage, only 29 outside the three-point line, can not be a fixed-point shooter.

The coaching staff believes that having two point guards, Guo Xu and Lowry, is enough. Guo Xu will increase playing time in the playoffs, and Lowry can play a role in the bench for more than ten minutes.

Inside veteran Clifford Robinson can bring some help to the team, he is good at covering and catching the ball, he is certain outside the three-point line, and his regular-season three-point shooting is 77. He can also organize passes, and retired Kukoc is a type.

On the 20th, Guo Xu invited the whole team to dinner together, the atmosphere before the game was very relaxed.

Owner Brian Colangelo also attended the party and he thanked everyone for their dedication to the team. Everyone is very honored to set a record of 78 wins and 45 straight games in the regular season. As long as there are no more abnormal teams in the future, their names will often be mentioned by fans.

When talking about the first round of the playoffs, Guo Xu decompressed his teammates again. He said: "I will give you the pass. If you don't score well, give it to me to practice the tactics. This is not a light enemy. Kim is really nothing. "

D'Antoni's view is similar to Guo Xu's. He doesn't talk about the ball while eating, only saying: "Tomorrow we will win by playing the four routines in the morning, and everyone will relax today."

The pressure on the Nuggets side is much greater. They were swept by the sun during the regular season, and each time they were defeated, they couldn't organize effective defense. After Kenyon Martin was injured, the Nuggets didn't expect to win anymore, but the less loss was victory.

On the 21st, the first battle between the two sides started in Phoenix.

Sun: Guo Xu, Roy, Marion, Haslem, Stardamer.

Nuggets: Iverson, Anthony Carter, Anthony, Nene, Camby.

Soon there was a one-sided situation on the court. Looking at the lineup, I knew that the Nuggets were flawed. The shooting guard was a 185 stupid Carter.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Steve Blake also joined the Nuggets and Iverson. Because Iverson is a shooting guard, coach George Karl is used to arranging a double-back formation in order to help him exert his power.

This is the death. In order to help Iverson score the sacrifice of outside defense, Iverson averaged 424 minutes per game in the regular season. He spent more than half of the game with another point guard.

The Nuggets aren't without orthodox shooting guards. Jr. Smith's physical fitness is much better than Carter, but Carl insists on letting him play the bench, because his organizational ability is generally not suitable for partnering with Iverson.

Under Carl's formation, the Nuggets' "golden double guns" are more like "golden double pits" and can only attack but not defend.

The two small guards debut together, and the sun really wants to play whatever he wants. Guo Xu passed the ball to Roy to single out Carter is an opportunity. He can use the height advantage to shoot, the strength advantage to eat hard, can also protect basketball and other Guo Xu running position, organize offense.

Guo Xu singled out Iverson is also a chance, but there is no tactics like that, he throws a little space in the periphery and throws three points, which is not conducive to the overall cooperation. Not every round 1 opponent is shorter than Guo Xu. He wants to help Roy increase his playoff experience as much as possible, and the next game will be better.

Guo Xu spends most of his time without the ball, attracting defense at the bottom corner, slipping the bottom line to find the off-ball cover and running position. He can get rid of Iverson and can directly shoot, Camby can misplace the break point, can not get rid of the guard can also pick Iverson.

Camby rarely changes guards, grabs rebounds and blocks near the penalty area, waiting for opponents to attack, and as the name suggests guards the penalty area. In fact, his confrontation ability is average, Nene is more resistant than him. This is good at brushing defensive data, and the Nuggets' overall defensive efficiency is the penultimate in the league.

Sun's No. 4 position is all the type of pull-out shots. After Nene was led away, Camby took the opportunity to go out without guarding Guo Xu, at least for easy singles. Camby went out and the defender passed the ball to Stoudemire.

Stoudemire is very easy to play Camby directly with the ball, but the Suns don't play like that, and they want to create an easier scoring opportunity.

On the defensive end, the Sun arranges role players to compete with Anthony in a wheel fight to keep close to each other. Anthony has reached its peak this season, averaging 288 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists and 12 steals per game, shooting 48.

He has been brave throughout the season. The series singled out Ariza, Roy and Marion, but it was a pity.

Iverson's performance is much worse, he hit a record high 454 in the regular season, 47 three-point shooting is also good, averaging 1 goal. But his scoring efficiency is still not high. He scored 248 points, rebounds, 72 assists and 18 steals in 424 minutes.

Iverson played 8 minutes longer than Guo Xu in the regular season, but scored less than Guo Xu. The two couldn't compare.

In the playoffs, the gap became more obvious. Iverson's physical fitness after multiple injuries has begun to decline, and the speed is still faster than that of ordinary guards, and Guo Xu is obviously inferior to him.

Iverson's change of direction can't break through Guo Xu can only play by shooting. Even if his teammates who can score are pinned, he has also returned to the old road of the 76ers period, shot a lot, and furiously hit iron.

The Suns have won successively at home, and after the away game, they won easily in the third game. In the fourth game, the Nuggets have lost their energy and lost 4 points at home.

The Suns swept through the promotion 4-0 and became the first team to advance in the league.

Guo Xu fully suppressed Iverson, averaging only 0 minutes in the series, and the longest game in the third game was 5 minutes. His series averaged 27 points and 9 assists per game, but the shooting rate was as high as 64, and the three-point shooting rate was 50.

Iverson has played longer than him, averaging 208 points and 51 assists, shooting 68 points from the field and 294 three-pointers. He is not efficient except to get rid of Guo Xu from the screen and go to the basket.

Obviously unstoppable and unable to attack, coach Karl also chose to die hard, mainly using only 8 rotations, and the other three were swingman jr Smith, striker Nahula and Kreiza.

In the regular season, Smith averaged 2 minutes per game, scoring 1 point, 2 rebounds, and 14 assists. He shot 441 shots, 9 3-pointers, and averaged 24 three-pointers per game. In the playoffs, he only averaged 118 minutes per game and sat on the bench to watch Iverson hit the iron.

After the game, the Nuggets fans felt ashamed ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ At the beginning of the regular season, many people felt that the Nuggets could threaten the sun. In the end, they only achieved the eighth place in the west and barely scored Playoffs.

After Iverson left the 76ers, some Amy said that without the drag of his teammates, Iverson would definitely play better in the Nuggets. No one says that anymore, Iverson's counterpoint to Guo Xu's shooting percentage is less than 0. Who can drive him with such a hit rate?

In terms of true shooting percentage, the gap between the two is even greater. Iverson has only 447. Which one is he in this series? It is clearly undercover!

Anthony's shooting rate is not stable enough, playing three good games, only 40 in the fourth game.

Nene's hit rate is high enough, too few shots. Sun management will not regret giving up Nene. The coaching staff has tried to train him, but his character is destined not to be as successful as Stoudemire. He rarely takes advantage of his physical strength to cast endlessly.

In fact, within the talent, he can take on more tasks. He has footsteps in the low position. The only place worse than Stoudemire is the shooting. He failed to practice well in the sun.

The Suns entered the holidays and waited for the next round of opponents. They had to rest for a long time because the Lakers vs Timberwolves series was very anxious and the game was 2 to 2.
