Chapter 649 [Serious jumping back and forth, hurting people more than trash talk]

Guo Xu knew what to do when he saw that there was no one to double-team. He really thought Nash was air and it was impossible to block it.

He dribbled the ball under his crotch and gave it to his left hand, shook his shoulders slightly, and Nash stepped back a little.

Nash never takes a candy defense, but puts the opponent in a step, so that when the opponent breaks through and makes a layup, he can ensure that he can keep up with the pace, delay the opponent's arrival at the basket as much as possible, and buy time for the big defenders.

Unfortunately, although he has a positive attitude, he is just trying to kill Guo Xu when he is not good at shooting. He is one of the point guards with the worst ability to interfere in shooting, lacks jumping power against poor confrontation, and his wingspan is 189cm, not as good as Guo Xu.

Guo Xu took a step back with his left foot and scored three-pointer, and then shot against Nash, easily avoiding the hollow cover and entering the net, 5-0.

When the Hawks attack, it is much more difficult for Nash to fight Guo Xu alone because he can't break through. He will be entangled with the ball and will be able to get around quickly when he finds cover.

How terrible is it to be serious about Jason Guo’s defensive and face-frame offense?

His movement speed was so fast that he lost his hair, which was "seriously jumping back and forth". Not to mention Nash, even a ninja could not pass him.

Nash has a slight height advantage and can choose to force his attack against Guo Xu, but this is not his style of play, and it is difficult to play efficiently.

Nash failed to break through the pick-and-roll and passed the ball to Dior, and began running without the ball to find cover. Dior failed to explore and broke through against Howard, and protected the ball to Nash. The latter took the ball and made a three-pointer. After Guo Xu jumped up and blocked, he shot the iron. David Lee protected the backcourt rebound.

The pace slowed down again, Guo Xu and his teammates pulled away and dribbled the ball under their crotch outside the three-point line. Nash went forward a little this time. Guo Xu held the ball with his left hand and changed direction, accelerated and started to break out on the right and passed Nash. He took a step inside the three-point line and stopped the jump shot with a jumper.

Nash turned around and had only time to reach out his hand, and the ball went in again. 7 to 0.

In the Hawks' positional battle, Nash and Josh played pick-and-roll, and the latter cut and received the pass. David Lee blocked Nash and then chased him slowly. Josh scored and spiked the ball with his left hand. 7-2.

When the Suns attacked, Nash defended Guo Xu more tightly and changed to a close-fitting confrontation.

Guo Xu protected the ball with his back and used the field width to spend half the game. David Li came up and Guo Xu accelerated and changed direction to get rid of it. His first step of starting speed was the top level in the league and the key to breaking double-teaming. Nash was blocked for half a second and could not follow.

Guo Xu brought it to the right side again. The biggest difference between the Suns and last season is that the role players have a relatively fixed position. Haslem and Howard are on the left, and Bale attracts defense in the right corner. Once the outside pick-and-roll is on the outside, there is a lot of room on the weak side.

Josh failed to block Guo Xu from the front when he switched defense, and followed him into the three-point line from the side.

Guo Xu paused slightly at 45 degrees, turned his head to the left and looked at Nash. He dribbled the ball under his crotch and suddenly started to break through the bottom line and passed Josh into the basket. Harrington made up for defense, Guo Xu jumped into the middle and passed the ball from his waist to the left.

Unless Harrington's lumbar disc can stick out, he cannot defend against such passes. Haslem received the ball at the baseline open space and scored easily. 9 to 2.

The Hawks attacked, Nash passed to Dior again, and then ran without the ball. This time he got rid of Guo Xu and had no chance of three-pointers. Haslem defended. Nash passed the ball to Harrington, and Guo Xu replaced the big guy with his body.

Harrington failed to cut easily. Guo Xu's star whistle is not only reflected in the offensive end. He uses small movements to defend against big men when defending, and can disrupt the opponent's rhythm by elbow combat. In the rookie season, Guo Xu is the top three "foul machine" in the league, and now he is rarely called fouls.

In his previous life, Chris Paul was able to hold his elbow and could hold his back. Although he could not interfere with the turn and shoot, at least he would not easily cut into the basket. The referee basically never yelled his foul.

"nohandheking" is a matter of name for stars. Not to mention elbows are used to defend, some people rely on elbows to open the way when attacking, and the referee still turns a blind eye to it.

Harrington's rhythm was not smooth, and he insisted on holding the ball to break through the center of gravity too high, and he might be intercepted. He leaned against Guo Xu and turned to the horn position to shoot. Guo Xu could not block it, and he could not cut the ball in the lower three ways and stretched out his hand casually. It was Harrington who couldn't find the feeling himself, so David Lee stuck Josh and grabbed the rebound.

David Lee's defense has also improved. Larry Drew often gave him some minor scruples and told him the importance of changing defense. When he encountered a pick-and-roll, he first blocked the defender, and then considered chasing him.

In the past, David Lee did not like to switch defense guards when defending pick-and-roll, and often made people easily shoot or layups. When he actively switched defense guards, even if he was passed or passed the ball to a large score, at least he would give the opponent an extra step of breakthrough and passing, and his teammates might be able to assist in defense.

The coaching staff has low requirements for David Lee. When defending, he keeps a distance to prevent breakthroughs and not shoots, and is ready to grab rebounds at any time. The Suns focus on mixed defense, and David Lee's range of activities is near the penalty area.

Zhang Heli commented: "Today, facing the Eagles, the best offensive in the Eastern Conference, Guo Xu began to defend seriously. He really had two tricks and dared to go up and defend the big guy even if he was able to defend the pick-and-roll."

Xu Jicheng smiled and said, "In the early days, many people said that Guo Xu was a defensive black hole. In fact, he was not only not a black hole, but even one of the best defenders on the outside, as long as he was not lazy."

Zhang Heli smiled and said, "He doesn't care what others say. Whether he is guarding or not depends on his mood and he still wins the game."

The home audience gave Guo Xu an applause, and it was also a pleasure to watch someone who didn't care about defense and defend hard.

In the Suns position battle, Guo Xu still looked for cover to go to the weak side. Just the way he practiced in the Lakers back then, this move made the opponent very uncomfortable and it was difficult to double-team. The "Zen Master" helped him develop good habits and lay the foundation.

Josh pressed a little more outside. Guo Xu changed direction and supported the ball with his back and leaned against him. He slapped the ball with his left hand to his right hand. Nash came up to form a double-team. Guo Xu shook his right shoulder and glanced at Nash. After holding the ball with his right hand, he quickly changed direction to the right.

Since David Lee opened it and ran forward, Josh chose to go with the person who was the main defense. Guo Xu turned around and broke the double team, and Nash could only defend himself and follow him to the weak side.

Guo Xu dribbled the ball under his crotch at 45 degrees to his left hand, and changed direction to the right, which seemed to be about to break the bottom line, but his steps were not big. After Nash moved horizontally, he dribbled the ball behind his right hand and took the left foot and took the left foot and took the step back and shot.

Nash reacted very quickly, but his body could not react. He didn't have time to jump forward. Guo Xu had already thrown the ball into the basket and hit again! 11 to 2.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the whole game is full of this defensive intensity, Guo Xu will definitely score more than 100 points. Coach Woodson requested a timeout and was ready to arrange tight double-teams, and other positions have 3 defenses and 4 defenses, otherwise they will probably become background boards today.

Guo Xu always makes moves for half a beat. Nash always has no choice when he encounters players who like to attack others and can ensure a high hit rate.

When he ended, Nash felt very depressed. He felt very uncomfortable every time he faced Guo Xu, not only because of his personal ability, but also the rhythm of Guo Xu playing.

The Hawks did not make a quick attack counterattack, and the team's offensive efficiency decreased. Nash felt that Guo Xu was just slapping him in the face with his actions, allowing him to see the gap between the two clearly, which was more hurtful than trash words.

Guo Xu can play a variety of tactics, both in position and counterattack, and his average teammate's strength cannot affect his performance. Nash is different. After leaving the running and bombing tactics, he becomes the second-rate star in the Mavericks era.

How can I win him? Can I win him even with so many people in the sun?
