Chapter 634: [Raptors cross the river, it is difficult to protect themselves]

The Raptors started with 1 win and 9 losses and went straight to the top pick.
Since Sam Mitchell became the team's head coach, the Raptors have become a strange offensive rotten team. The team is almost all offensive players, the defense is a mess, averaging 105 points, but the opponent scores more. They won't be beaten by three quarters to enter garbage time, but they can always lose by one stroke.
The only game the Raptors won was against the Heat, 107 to 94. This game was not good for the Raptors, but O'Neal was absent, and Wade couldn't help.
The Heat started with 5 wins and 5 losses and was the fastest team to retreat. After the introduction of "Fat Head Tuo" Antoine Walker, the 4th position offense was indeed better, but the overall defense became very poor. It's a nightmare for neither of the insiders to love pick-and-roll.
After O'Neal's absence, the Heat can only use Alonzo-Moning to play the center, "Kidney Fighter" spirit is invincible, but on the court is a blue collar.
In Guo Xu ’s previous life, the Raptors were a team that did not resist on the defensive end. It was normal for opponents to score more than 110 points. Finally, they successfully won the only champion in the history of the team. Unfortunately, the Italian soft egg inside the bag was selected. Nani, lost a good opportunity to rise. With Bosh already on the team, God knows what the management thinks and chooses a guy with overlapping positions.
This season, the Raptors also gave Kobe an incredible 81 points in a single game, and Kobe had 55 points in the second half, under the premise of two points.
This is a miracle. When the opponent stars play well, most opponents will choose to tightly pack. In the second half, the stars will generally score more difficult than the first half. It is also more difficult to pack Kobe players who play low positions than to outsource to the three-point line. Clips are much easier.
Many years later, ESPN talked about it in a talk show.
ESPN expert Skip Bayles said on the "FitTake" show that Kobe's 81 points may be overestimated.
Stephen Smith, an ESPN expert who partnered with him, retorted: "Did you know? Skip, I think you are crazy many times, and it is the same now. Anyway, this is the new millennium NBA, this is a professional The game, I know Sam Mitchell very well. He later won the Best Coach Award, but who can he use to defend Kobe? He has already told me many times, he has used all the tricks, double package Clamps, three-members, and even the exhausted method can't prevent it! "
Guo Xu firmly believed that Mitchell could not prevent herself from exhausting the measures.
It is definitely better to play the weak team than to play the strong team. This is no doubt. As for the historical status of players, it is not measured by the average data of players when they face a strong team. 99.9% of fans have no time to check these high-end data.
For example, how many of Jordan's career high scores were faced with a strong team? How much was obtained from abusive dishes? Even the person who hates Jordan the most will not be so bored to check these materials to prove that Jordan is overvalued. Qiao Mi can swell his bear's face by just gathering words. "Jordan 10 scoring champions", "Jordan six championship rings", "Jordan five regular season MVP, six FMVP."
Kobe is the same. "Our two scoring champions", "Our five championship rings", "Our one regular season MVP, two FMVP, more is the brush", "We scored 81 points against Jordan."
It's so direct, who dare not accept it? Data and championship numbers are everything.
Holding a mentality of scoring points, on the evening of November 22nd, Guo Xu ushered in the challenge of the Raptors at home.
TNT radio was broadcast live in the United States, CCTV5 did not broadcast this live, chose Rockets VS Mavericks.
As the players warmed up, Barkley smiled: "I foresee that today will be a wonderful match-up battle, Jason Guo can score high points again, the Raptors' defense is very bad."
Smith said: "Three players were injured. After Joe Johnson went to the Warriors, the Sun's game became better and better. Every game has a high rating. The fans are all for watching Jason score. He did not let People are disappointed. "
Guo Xu practiced a three-pointer in the morning to find the sensation, and felt good when warming up.
After three years of hard training in the time loop, Guo Xu has made great progress in shooting. He now rarely has an inaccurate time, only one iron in five or six games, which is different from the previous draftsman.
Five of the Suns: Payton, Guo Xu, Howard, David Lee, Valejo.
Five Raptors: Mike James, Morris Peterson, Jaylen Rose, Chris Bosh, Rafael Aruyu.
Valecho won the ball and the game began.
Payton took the half-time pass to Guo Xu, the players pulled away and let Guo Xu hold the ball singles.
The Raptors coach did not pay much attention to defense. Guo Xu had already scored 101 points. The opening Mitchell did not mean to arrange a double-team, so he let the point guard defend.
Guo Xu easily singled on the right side, dunked the crotch to the left hand, took the left foot and then withdrew a three-pointer. James was afraid that he would break through, and then took a small step, then jumped forward and blocked the cover slowly, the ball hollowed into the net. 3 to 0.
The Raptors played a pick-and-roll. James attracted David Lee to change the defense and scored the ball to the middle. Bosh faced Guo Xu with a jumper. 3 to 2.
After the Suns attacked, Payton led Guo Xu after halftime, and the Raptors were still not included.
Guo Xu's dribble turned to the right, and passed the closer James in one step. 5 to 2.
James attacked, Guo Xu deliberately let him two steps away, which began to "release water", did not put the Raptors in his eyes.
James made a three-point jumper easily and returned one. 5 to 5.
When the Sun attacked, Guo Xu received the ball in the midfield and found that James retreated to the three-point line waiting for him, and did not mean to come up to grab. Guo Xu Middle Road grabbed a shot two meters away from the three-point line, without any interference, and went in again. 8 to 5.
Guo Xu has already figured out the defensive ability of this product. No wonder Jeff Van Gundy did not look at him.
Mike James, who is 188 cm tall and weighs 85 kg, is a strong point guard. He graduated from college in 1998 and failed to enter the NBA. He then played in foreign leagues for a few years, and did not join the Heat until the beginning of 2002 with a short contract to stand on the NBA stage.
At present, James has changed 5 teams. His offensive shooting and breakthroughs are excellent. The frequent team changes are because the defense is too bad. And his style of play is very unique, always seeing himself as a star.
Guo Xu didn't care when he was defending. He looked at James's ruthless look and wanted to return to another one. He also remembered a paragraph from his previous life.
After retiring for many years, James was interviewed by a reporter and evaluated Kobe ’s 81-point game ~ EbookFREE.me ~ In that game, I think we could have done something different. This rhythm was dumped, and my focus at the time was to work hard to win that game. I remember in the third quarter I said to Sam Mitchell: ‘Let me defend Kobe’. He looked at me and said, ‘I do n’t want you to get into foul trouble. ’

James paused for a moment and sighed: "My thought at the time was,‘ this guy has already scored 50 points in three quarters, but you are worried about my foul trouble? ’"
This sounds as if James will be able to score less points as long as he plays the main defense. Unfortunately, the coach is afraid that he can't control fouls and wants to win, so if he is not allowed to defend, the coach is a fool.
In fact, let's say that the misplacement restricts Kobe. Most point guards are not good at defending.
He is a brush. In the previous 2005-06 season, the Raptors scored 20.3 points and 5.8 assists. The Raptors did not want to renew his contract. Then he joined the Timberwolves for 23 years.
Guo Xu feels funny, because of James' defensive strength, if the Raptors haven't been up and wrapped up, he feels that he can challenge 100 points today ...
