Chapter 754: [Without Guo Xu's Sun]

On May 20, eight days after Guo Xu was injured, the Western Conference finals started in Phoenix.
The absence of the home star did not extinguish the enthusiasm of the Sun fans. The home was full, and many people wore Guo Xu's No. 1 jersey. The significance of four consecutive championships is not trivial. All fans hope that the Sun will set a record this year.
TNT live broadcast the game, Barkley predicted: "Bell, Haslem is suspended, Jason Guo is absent, these three are very important, I think the sun will likely lose their home advantage."
Kenny Smith said: "The Sun suffered heavy losses due to Vujacic's malicious foul. Haslem will not play until the fifth game of the series. He is the best defensive player in the Sun 4. Thomas played or Marion came on. The striker can only fight offense. "
Barkley said: "I think Millsap can go up for a while. He and Haslem are the same type of players. They have a strong body and good rebounding control, and they are very mobile. He just lacks game experience."
Suns start: Lowry, Roy, Ariza, Marion, Stardamer.
Spurs starters: Tony Parker, Bowen, Granger, Oboto, Duncan.
Stoudemire won the ball and the game began.
Roy catches the ball and Stoudemire plays a pick-and-roll outside the three-point line, attracting Duncan to change the defense and pass the ball to Stoudemire who cuts the middle.
The Spurs' flanks immediately shrunk, and Granger and Oboto both included Stoudemire in the penalty area, preventing him from taking advantage of the trend. Duncan also withdrew, and the three encircled the restricted area.
With Guo Xu absent, the Suns lacked the strongest three-point shooting point, and Popovich dared to shrink the overall formation when lining up. Stoudemire scored the ball to the bottom corner of the right side, Ariza opened the shot and hit the iron.
Aliza was nicknamed "Tieza" because he was iron most of the time, especially in the playoffs. In Guo Xu's previous life, he had two outstanding performances on the offensive end of the playoffs, most of the time as a blacksmith. In the team, his main role is defense, the offense is not as good as Bell, the current three-point shooting rate is only 33.3%, or the data cast by the open.
If Ariza is willing to renew Sun's management at a low salary, the Sun management is very welcome. In the summer, if a team gives him a middle-class contract, the Sun will not match. This type of player is easier to find a replacement.
In 2009, the Rockets and Ariza signed a middle-class contract and traded him out after only one season. The current strength of Ariza is not as good as it was at that time. It only has a championship bonus and is more famous.
The Spurs attacked, Parker and Duncan hit a pick-and-roll breakthrough, Lowry bypassed the cover and pursued in place.
Parker didn't push forward, and scored the ball to Duncan. Duncan pulled the ball out of the high position and passed the ball to Oboto who cut the bottom line. Oberto was misplaced against Marion and took three steps with one hand to dunk the basketball. 0 to 2.
As long as the tactics are good, blue collars can also score. When the Suns play small ball tactics, the defense against the penalty area is not good enough. Popovich attacked this weakness.
This season the Sun's offense is unstoppable. D'Antoni advocates offensive basketball. Only Valejo has started four games in the regular season. Even if Guo Xu was absent, he tended to attack in formation and formed a habit.
The Suns attacked, Lowry and Stoudemire played pick-and-rolls, the weak side breakthrough was caught up by Parker, and he had no choice but to score.
At the same speed, rookie Lowry faced Parker as much as Parker faced Guo Xu, because he lacked range and could not escape entanglement. Lowry is not only unsure of the three-pointer, he is not even accurate in the CIC, and relies on breakthroughs.
As long as Guo Xu rests during the regular season, Lowry is the point guard on the court and controls the ball to organize the offense. The coaching staff gave him a lot of performance opportunities to train him, and he still needs years of hard work to achieve his level.
In Guo Xu's previous life, Lowry was a player with obvious advantages and disadvantages. The Rockets began to show their strength when they renewed the full-scale middle class in 2010. Now he is too young, only 21 years old.
Stoudemire got into the penalty area and was double-bound. Marion scored a goal and Marion flicked a shot past Oboto who flew to interfere with the shot. The layup was missed by Duncan.
Duncan landed on the toes with a span of his toes, and Granger got the rebound.
In the Spurs position, Parker and Duncan scored the ball after the pick-and-roll to Duncan. The Suns also shrank to the penalty area and Duncan divided the ball. Granger didn't waste any chance and hit a three-pointer on the left. 0 to 5.
Granger averaged 32.4 minutes in the playoffs, scoring 16.2 points, 5 rebounds and 1.3 assists, shooting 45% from the field and 56.3% from the field. He is often the target of the Spurs being relaxed and defended. It broke out. The three-point shooting rate is higher than two points, not too many shots, averaging 1.5 goals per game.
He was 202CM tall in bare feet, 205CM tall in shoes, 102kg in weight, and 217CM in arm span. His speed and response were also excellent, and he actively rebounded. He can help the team on both offense and defense, and has a stable starting position. Popovich likes this type of player.
The 76ers' management regretted that they were almost giving away Granger in vain, because there are already three outstanding swingers in the team, and now everyone feels that Granger is stronger than Korver and Salmons.
The Suns attack, the team's familiar offensive routines can not be played.
Lowry blocked the split ball to Roy, who was running without the ball. Oboto and Bowen included it. Roy scored to Marion. Duncan did not go out near the penalty area. Marion and Stoudemire Keep the distance, prevent the strong attack in the restricted area, put in the distance.
Marion's left bottom line mid-range shot missed the basket again, which disappointed the Sun fans, and Guo Xu in front of the TV was even more disappointed. Stoudemire returned to the best lineup after recovering from injury, but Marion was weaker than last season.
He was mainly weak in the shooting. He didn't practice at a glance during the rehabilitation. He only averaged two shots in the playoffs, and his shooting percentage was only 37%. He hit the rim against the underdogs and scored, and Spurs Duncan was responsible for defense in the penalty area. It was never a good idea to impact the rim.
Duncan grabbed a rebound to Parker, slowed down and landed.
Parker didn't have many assists. In recent years, Popovich has been scolded for playing very well. He knows how to cooperate with his teammates. Sun's ball tactics are excellent in pick-and-roll prevention. He is not strong and attracts the defense to Duncan.
Oboto didn't make it and didn't hit hard, and then divided the ball. Bowen and Granger transferred the ball very quickly. The ball returned to Parker in the running position.
Parker cut freely from the side, throwing Lowry away under Duncan's cover and tossing the ball before Stoudemire's defense. 0 to 7.
In the living room of Robert's family, a few friends watched the live broadcast together.
Britney said: "Jason, the sun seems to be a little bad."
Guo Xu sighed: "It's not only bad, it's terrible, you have to change people as soon as possible, otherwise you won't be able to withstand the first quarter."
In the next round, Stoudemire didn't cut it ~ EbookFREE.me ~ In the high position, Roy broke into the space, and Roy broke into the inside and was caught by Bowen and Oboto.
Ariza's open shot was very firm, and the iron hit popped up. Once he got up, he would make his opponent feel awkward, and often staged a good show of continuous gaps in the open position.
Marion rushed to grab a rebound in the frontcourt, all people around the penalty area, no chance to pass out to find Lowry and then organize. Passing back and forth several times, almost 24 seconds, Roy singles Bowen stopped a jumper and scored, scored the first two points of the sun. 2 to 7.
Although the ball was scored but the players did not cooperate and could not pass the ball, the Spurs strictly guarded the penalty area.
Barkley said: "The Suns are playing like Jason was when they abused their opponents, so they can't win in this way."
Smith said with a smile: "There is only one missing person. It's like changing a team. Jason is really indispensable to the Sun."
