Chapter 124: 【Tian Ji horse racing, 1 wave in the second quarter】

The Lakers start five: Brian Shaw, Kobe, Fox, Grant, O'Neill.
Supersonic starters: Payton, Emmanuelle Davis, Rashad Lewis, Gerani McCoy, Patrick Ewing.
After the game started, Payton and Kobe confrontation.
The task of defending Brian Shaw is relatively simple. It is handed over to Emmanuel Or, who is 193 cm tall and weighs 88 kg. This is a pseudo-starter. At the age of 32 this year, he entered the NBA in a non-draft draft. His physical fitness is ordinary.
Last season, Emmanuel played only 13 minutes per game at supersonic speeds, contributing 4 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists. He shot 36.4% from the field and 30.1% from the 3-point range. He dared to reuse this marginal man. The supersonic coach is very Bold.
Supersonics just changed coaching on the weekend. Paul Westphal led the team to a 6-9 start and was fired. He was replaced by 36-year-old young assistant Nate McMillan, who had just retired from the Supersonics for three years.
McMillan arranged the lineup in this way, it is the idea of ​​"Tian Ji horse racing", starting with Payton, Ewing will not be too ugly, the second quarter lineup strength is not much worse than the starting lineup, rely on the depth of the lineup to fight the Lakers.
Peyton's offense was average in the first quarter. He scored 4 points and 3 assists on 2 of 7 shots under Kobe's defense. Kobe also played poorly on the offensive end of Peyton. 2 of 6 shots and 0 of 2 3-pointers made 4 points. 1 rebound and 2 assists.
Ewing was in a serious state of decline, and he was unable to confront O'Neill. He only played 3 minutes and then made two offenses. Wen Baker, who came off the bench, played an unexpected eye-catching, pulled out to play a pick and roll, 4 of 6 shots, scored 8 points and 4 Backboard.
The performance is better with the youngster Lewis. He faced 3 of 3 defenses against Fox, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and got 7 points and 2 rebounds in 8 minutes.
Under Payton's organization and scheduling, the supersonic blossomed more, leading 34 to 20 in the first quarter. The Lakers only scored 10 points and performed well.
Guo Xu replaced Brian Shaw in the last 3 minutes. He missed a shot under Peyton's defense and scored nothing. Kobe Bryant failed to score in the face of the bench in the three minutes, the ball is not easy to receive.
The rest of the OK combination rested in the second quarter. Guo Xu took the bench and had the ball right. The main pick-and-roll tactics and performance opportunities came. The other four are Leder, George, Horry, Greg Foster.
The five supersonics are Shamond Williams, Brent Barry, Desmond Mason, Weinbeck and Ewing.
This bench lineup looks very powerful. Two former all-stars who are well-known inside can pull out the mid-range shot and evacuate the restricted area. Shamond and Barry have a stable three-point shot.
Even the rookie Mason, who was the 17th overall pick in the first round of this year, is not easy. He is 196cm tall and weighs 100kg. He is very strong. His shooting is poor, but has no less than Jason Richardson's top physical fitness, is the focus of supersonic training objects.
The supersonic first attack, Shamond passed to Barry after halftime, and he moved away.
Shammond is 185cm tall and weighs 91 kilograms. He is the fifth rookie in the second round of 1998. As a point guard, he has ordinary organization skills. His advantage is that he is good at catching shots and occasionally backing, just like a small split.
Barry and Weinbeck played a pick-and-roll, Horry changed defense, and Barry passed the ball to Weinbeck, who faced Leder and jumped the ball into his neck. 20 to 36.
The score difference widened to 16 points, and the supersonic fans applauded vigorously. It was not easy to lead the Lakers by a large score. The darkest time for the team after the coach change seems to have passed.
The Lakers attacked, with Horry at the bottom corner on the right, Leder at 70 degrees on the right, George at the bottom corner on the left, all three stood still, and Guo Xu and Foster hit the pick and roll.
He took the ball to the right to get rid of Shamond, and then passed the old Ewing by speed, scoring a layup in three steps.
22 to 36, Guo Xu opened easily.
The supersonic attack, Wen Beck singles Horry left low turn and tossed the score, 22 to 38.
The Lakers attacked, Guo Xu and Foster played a pick-and-roll. They made a breakthrough on the left. A direction easily passed Ewing, and a layup was made.
24 to 38, Guo Xu personal fourth point.
Shamonde, who is physically strong, is of average speed. It is always slow to circumvent the cover and chase defense, especially because of the slow response of the pick-and-roll. His two knees are almost scrapped, and the lateral speed is extremely slow. .
McMillan really wanted to replace Ewing immediately, but this season's game was just beginning, and substitutions hurt the star's pride. And Ewing has an annual salary of 14 million US dollars this season, which is 2 million higher than Payton. Is such a high price a mascot?
Payton watched the defense of his teammates on the sidelines, and there was an uncomfortable expression on his face. Even if he played to Guo Xu, he was not in a mood to talk rubbish. Guo Xu played very well, his teammates are garbage ...
Supersonic attack, Ewing caught the ball on the right side and wanted to return one. He leaned on Foster and turned to the midfielder for a jumper, followed by a slow motion in my left hand and right hand, and a slow motion replay in right hand and left hand. Basket.
This is not a jumper anymore, but he has tilted his feet. The "rabbit jump" midrange shot no longer exists. The rebound was grabbed by George and passed to Guo Xu.
Guo Xu stabilized his rhythm and slowly brought the ball to the frontcourt. Then he played Foster with a pick-and-roll in the middle. This time it became Weinbeck for a pick-and-roll pick-up. He didn't rush out. Circumvent the cover and chase defense from the inside.
Guo Xu saw no one in front of him after traversing. He immediately withdrew his right foot and made a 3-pointer jump shot. Without any interference, he hit the hollow.
27 to 38, personal 7th. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
Los Angeles Sports Channel commentator Joe McDonall called: "Three-pointer! Jason Guo scored 7 points in the second quarter, leading the team to continue to narrow the point difference."
Partner Charlie Palsley said: "Although Jason is not very stable, but when he feels good, he is like an All-Star. I think not only the best rookie, but also the best sixth man of the season. he."
Qiao laughed: "The data for the sixth man of each team this year is not very bright, and Jason's role in the Lakers is too obvious. In NBA history, there has been no best rookie and the best sixth man. It happens that if he wins two awards this season, he will set a new historical record. "
This is likely to happen. Guo Xu ’s competitors are only the Bucks ’Tim Thomas, the Knicks’ Glen Rice, and the 76ers ’Alon McKee. The three men did not score as much as Guo Xuduo, all in the early 10s, and the shooting rate was much lower than Guo Xu.
Key data competition, only McGee averaged 5 assists per game over Guo Xu, in all respects, Guo Xu is more likely to win.
The supersonic player passed back and forth without a chance of open space. With 24 seconds approaching, Weinbeck singled Horry, leaning his neck and missed a jumper. The rebound was grabbed by Leder.
In the Lakers position battle, Guo Xu and Foster played a pick-and-roll. They once again faced Wen Baker. Shamond failed to interfere with the shot just now, daring to bypass the cover and chase inside, and was firmly blocked by Foster. .
Guo Xu didn't have any fake moves, lowered the center of gravity and speeded away from Wen Baker, rushing into the basket attracted Ewing to make defense, and the home goal was given to the right corner.
Hori got a big space and took a three-point shot to get in!
