Chapter 746 (1/2)
Guo Xu watched the fifth game between the Lakers and the Timberwolves at home. The starting strength of the two sides was only half a kilogram and eight Liang, and the fight was fierce.
The outside line is dominated by the Lakers, Artest, Kobe, Ellis can suddenly shoot. The Timberwolves' Josh - Howard is inferior to Kobe, Ricky Davis is a little bit lost by Artest.
Inside, the Timberwolves are dominant. They play with restraint over the Lakers. The two big men, Garnett and Bronte, are good at pulling out shots, covering for teammates and not attacking the forbidden area. Bogut out of the restricted area defense efficiency is not good, moving slowly.
The organizer of Timberwolves is Garnett. Blake mainly catches and shoots the ball by running without the ball, and breaks through with the ball when he is dislocated to the big man. His playing method is very flexible.
Guo Xu's playing method, Blake metropolis, physical fitness almost can also play a tactical role. His shooting is very good, pass consciousness is strong, breakthrough ability is poor, if find a template, he is poor version of Nash, beggars version of Guo Xu.
The two sides have been in a standoff until the last minute, to the moment of the star's individual ability, the Timberwolves are a little inferior, they lack super scorers.
In 2.2 seconds, Kobe Bryant hit a near kill center shot in the face of Howard's interference, helping the Lakers lead by two points.
Timberwolves' last attack was not a good choice. Garnett's hit rate of key ball was not high. He was once evaluated by former teammate szebiak as ”he never throws the key ball”.
Coach Dwyane Casey called a time-out and arranged for Howard to make the final attack and throw the ball.
Who is Howard? When the Mavericks lost Game 5, he lost the game? Sure enough, in Kobe's interference, Howard catches the ball to throw a three not touch, lost the battle of tianwangshan.
After losing, Garnett was dissatisfied and said that the coach should let him take the last shot, but when the coach arranged the tactics, he listened quietly. He is such a person, the field is as quiet as a virgin, hard as steel.
As a matter of fact, Howard has done a good job as a second leader. If he doesn't join the Timberwolves, the team may not be able to play in the playoffs. With him, the Timberwolves formed the Trident, which is the key point of attack, which can help the opponent create singles opportunities.
Both sides in the sixth game in Los Angeles Staples Center, starting and playing very anxious, substitute Ellis became the key to winning the Lakers, he played 27 minutes 19 points and 5 assists to suppress the Timberwolves rotation lineup.
Blake is not a fast guard, substitute Marco - Arrich is slower than him, Ellis's breakthrough, Arrich can not prevent.
The Timberwolves small guard Troy Hudson was originally quick. He played 34 games this season and was injured and missed the playoffs.
The Timberwolves management hated Hudson. In 2004, they signed a six-year 36 million contract with Hudson, which expired in 2010. He is a typical contract year break out, and then pension players, contract renewal after injury, in 2005-07 a total of 70 games, the data and efficiency have dropped.
In the end, the Lakers won 101-90 and advanced to the second round with a total score of 4-2. The Lakers were swept by the suns in the regular season, and everyone was optimistic that the Suns would make it to the Western Conference finals.
The weakness of the No. 1 position of the Lakers has not been made up, and Guo Xu is not safe.
”God of death” smash - Parker into the playoffs after showing a weak nature, the state than the regular season a sharp decline. In the series, he played 11.8 minutes per game and only got 1.6 points and 0.8 assists. His shooting percentage was 15.4% and his three-point shooting rate was 16.7%.
Blake has never been famous for defense. It's amazing that Parker can be prevented like this. He can't even defeat Blake, the younger brother before Guo Xu. How can he face Guo Xu?
Rookie Jordan Farmar is also embarrassed to use, average 15 minutes per game, 4 points 1.1 assists, shooting percentage of 42%, this is point guard? He doesn't have a lot of exercise in the regular season, and he's stupid when he's in the playoffs.
