Chapter 693: [The potential rookie is still a rookie]

Unfortunately, Guo Xu was beaten at home in San Antonio. The Spurs won two games in a row and pulled the total score to 2-2.
The difference between the two points is not big, the Spurs won 10 points and 7 points respectively.
The Spurs gave up the Suns tactics, but instead fight for stars, Duncan increased his shots, played in 42 minutes in both games, severely blasted the Suns inside.
Duncan scored 40 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks in the third game, and 32 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks in the fourth game. However, he also has some controversy, because in the third game he made 17 of 23 free throws and got too many free throws, the sun's inner action will be fouled if it is a little bigger.
The Spurs' defensive strategy is to guard against the outside shot of the Sun. The basket is guarded by Duncan alone, with two points in the middle and low post. D'Antoni sees through this, and increases Josh Howard's shooting power. He can shoot in the middle and can also play low back. These two games scored 20 points and 24 points respectively.
Unfortunately, Howard is not Kobe after all, if the Spurs insist on single defense, Kobe can score 3, 40 points, and can also attract the low post. The Spurs didn't need to pack Howard, and a Bowen solved it.
Bowen, 35, chooses to lose weight in order to maintain maneuverability and keep up with the speed of most swingers. He is currently 201CM tall and weighs only 84 kilograms. The swingers who are not strong enough to attack are forced to attack low positions. Howard is 201CM tall and weighs 95 kg, and his back is not so fierce.
Now even if Howard has Payton as a teacher, the offensive technique is more inclined to face three threats, breakthrough or CIC. Because the core of his partner is Guo Xu, the team needs him to develop in this direction, to open up space instead of running down to ask for the back of the ball.
Howard is not inefficient, but Bowen, who is good at playing, is not afraid and can interfere with shots.
D'Antoni's tactical system also revealed a flaw, the proportion of three-point shots is too high. The Suns got the best record in the regular season, relying on defense and throwing opponents out of the three-point line, throwing themselves to death when feeling bad.
When the opponent's formation expanded, and the middle distance was strictly guarded by three points, Guo Xu was uncomfortable with the sun and had to give up the familiar rhythm. The Suns were determined to catch the ball according to the coach's schedule, but the Spurs' interference played a role. The mentality of role players is not as strong as Guo Xu, they can only complete relatively simple tasks, and they cannot adjust their style of play.
The Sun's offensive task is mainly pressed against Guo Xu and Josh Howard, and it is easy to be targeted. The Bulls of the last three companies will also encounter this situation, they can send Kukoch as the third point of attack. The Sun also has Chico sitting in town, but it is a 38-year-old Chico who is close to retirement.
Guo Xu increased his shots. Under strict defense, his shooting percentage was not high. His two field goal percentages were only 45%. He shot 5 of 13 3-pointers and 4 of 12 shots. He scored 40 points and 7 assists in the third game and 36 points and 10 assists in the fourth game. This kind of hit rate has no efficient teammates stand out, it is not easy to win.
The Suns lost to the inside depth, scoring almost all rely on outside players, a few big men are not good at attacking the restricted area.
Vicki arranged small ball tactics and Finley came to the power forward to fight against the Sun's running tactics. He became a Spurs. He was particularly desperate on the defensive end, reducing the running scoring efficiency. Once in battle, the Spurs have an advantage.
The David Lee series averaged 16 minutes per game, scoring only 5 points and 4.5 rebounds. Compared to the regular season, the shooting percentage dropped to 31.7%. Duncan guarded him in the penalty area. An empty cut hits the basket effectively.
Potential rookies are still rookies. Duncan packs David Lee, just as easily as Guo Xu played Deron Williams when he played the jazz in the regular season.
The only big man the Sun is good at defending the restricted area is Valejo, and Diop, who made Duncan a little uncomfortable last season, was poached.
The Spurs players deliberately fouled Valejo when playing the pick-and-roll. In the third game, Valejo played only 19 minutes, carrying 5 fouls. In the fourth game, Valejo played 24 minutes and left the field six times. It wasn't that he couldn't control fouls. At home, some of the offenses that made offensive fouls were blown to block fouls at the Spurs home, even if he fell to the ground.
Valejo can play big and small in the post with a clear advantage.
Haslem is a power forward guest center, defending against big shots such as Nowitzki and Garnett, which is very detrimental to Duncan. Unable to resist Duncan, he can only use fouls to stop Duncan. His free throw percentage of 71.8% is qualified.
Duncan averaged 6.7 free throws per game in the regular season and only hit 4.2 with a shooting rate of 62.9%. The free throws in the playoffs rose to 10.1 and hit 7.2.
His postseason statistics improved to 26 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2 blocks per game. His shooting percentage also rose to 57.3%. His playing time also improved significantly and suddenly returned to his peak.
This is the role of superstars. Duncan is a non-speaking person. He will not preach his injuries everywhere, hype with injuries, and then play live and play, jump up and down, crazy shots like shit, then let teammates They carry the pot. He will only silently do the work of the coaching arrangements and try his best to help the team win.
There are not many people talking harshly, and they are talking about Duncan.
All the black pots on the Internet have changed their minds and started to post that Guo Xu is overestimated, saying that the sun will definitely be eliminated by the Spurs. Whoever hits the sun, who they are fans of, is more powerful than Transformers, and other alien robots have to scan the QR code first.
When Marion was injured in the regular season, he jumped out and sprayed Guo Xu to win the game because of his teammates. It was this group of people who could not make the Suns playoffs. Now that the Suns can't reach the finals, Guo Xu is overrated.
I have previously evaluated Guo Xu's ancient superstars, and the basketball fans have been relieved. They all hope that the Spurs will make persistent efforts to eliminate the Suns. It doesn't matter who wins the championship in the end, as long as it's not the Sun.
Guo Xu took this lineup to win the championship, they will not be questionable in the future, they also feel very incredible.
Scott Pippen, the bull's best name who has not looked down on Guo Xu, is also concerned about the news. He recently refused to accept any interviews, and even refrained from doing activities at home. He has accumulated rich experience in evaluating Guo Xu, and will not speak easily.
In the past, Pippen liked a serious nonsense. He didn't need logic or analyze data at all. What he pursued was the kind of determined tone.
He is good at creating an inscrutable feeling. To put it bluntly is a severe secondary illness, which must be different from what his opponent said, and then put on a posture that "I said that truth is the truth, you are all forced".
Blind players are easy to be bluffed and think that Pippen makes sense. If they follow him, they will embark on a path of no return.
Recently, Pippen began to understand that watching Guo Xu will not end well, he feels that Guo Xu will surpass Jordan in the future, and the ring and honor will be indispensable. The Suns were equalized by the Spurs, and he was an All-Star on the team. The Spurs are a combination of GDP.
Pippen feels that Guo Xu and Howard are the main points of the team, certainly not comparable to those of the Bulls and Jordan, and the Suns role players are either rookies or marginalists, and the two veterans should be retired. This lineup Winning the championship is unreasonable.
But the Sun still has the possibility of eliminating the Spurs. Was the Timberwolves leading the Sun 2-0, was it reversed?
2 to 2 said that Guo Xu must be eliminated, too early. Pippen intends to wait for the Spurs to win four games before interviewing, so there is no risk of saying the wrong thing.
