NBA: I! The Most Versatile Player Ever!

The reinforcement of the bench, coupled with the growth of rookies.

Let the shortcomings of the 76ers have disappeared.

This resulted in an exceptional stalemate between the two sides!

"Beautiful fallback jumper! Gu Yu made a successful mid-range shot!

"Iguodala broke through with the ball, Perkins chose to foul, and Iguodala was knocked out!

"The scene was full of gunpowder! Iguodala walked to the free throw line. 39

"Iguodala missed the second free throw, the basketball hit the basket! 35

With the sound of Miller's voice on the field, the two sides on the court began to fight for rebounds.

Perkins stuck Dayao and prevented Dayao from fighting.

Gu Yu was one step faster than P.J. Brown and jumped straight to the scrimmage.

Relying on the advantages of bounce and wingspan, grab the rebound directly.

And at this moment, Artest rushed over.

Artest is a player known for his rough defense.

Naturally, Gu Yu won't be able to grab the rebound easily.

bump!

Gu Yu collided with Artest's body in mid-air.

Because it was in mid-air, Gu Yu's body instantly lost his balance, and his body fell directly to the back.

Artest's eyes are basketball at this time.

After Gu Yu's body was out of balance, he immediately started to steal.

bump!

Gu Yu fell heavily to the ground, and the basketball came out of his hands.

Artest took the opportunity to grab the basketball and wanted to attack again.

But Gu Yu was not a vegetarian either, and quickly got up and tripped Artest with his thighs, preventing Artest from attacking.

Artest's eyes were on the basket 23 at this time, and he didn't notice Gu Yu's counterattack.

The body is directly out of balance.

bump!

Artest fell heavily to the ground, and the basketball was thrown out of his hands.

Gu Yu took the opportunity to grab the basketball again.

Artest also got up at this time and came directly towards Gu Yu.

Grab Gu Yu's jersey with one hand, and try to grab Gu Yu's arm with the other.

If it is an average player, it is indeed possible to be restricted in the face of Artest's stalking defense.

But this time Gu Yu's opponent is Gu Yu!

Gu Yu made a ground pass to Pierce.

Iguodala saw Pierce catch the ball and pounced directly on Pierce to prevent Pierce from shooting.

Pierce makes a pass to Shane on the flank.

At this time, the guidance of Long has been replaced, and the defender in front of Battier is Iverson.

Iverson's height disadvantage is indeed obvious.

Battier faced Iverson with a direct three-pointer.

Swish!

Basketball hollow into the net.

Los Angeles.

When Kobe saw this scene, his eyes didn't stop on Battier, but he focused on Gu Yu.

"Today's whistle is very loose, Ron is already a DPOY-level defense, and this kind of rough confrontation cannot effectively limit Gu Yu.

"And even if he is restricted to a certain extent, Gu Yu can assist his teammates..."

How to deal with Gu Yu!?

Kobe didn't actually think about it in the previous seasons, because even if he was as strong as Kobe, he knew that the Lakers in previous years simply didn't have the strength to compete for the championship.

But this season, with the arrival of the big hard, the Lakers really have the strength to compete for the championship.

Gu Yu or the Celtics became the primary target of the Lakers.

Although Kobe knew for a long time, Gu Yu was an extremely difficult opponent.

But after real research.

Kobe just discovered how scary Gu Yu is!

There is absolutely no dead end on the offensive end.

One-on-one singles can hardly be restricted.

Double-team Gu Yu's words.

Gu Yu can also pass the ball to assist teammates.

How can this be defended?

Thinking of this, Kobe also began to have a headache.

on the field.

Sanders has already started, he is preparing for Gu Yu's sky-high net.

Sanders, as the godfather of the Timberwolves, is the best defensive system in the zone.

However, the 76ers are not the Timberwolves after all. When Sanders coached the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves had such a historical level of defense.

But the 76ers don't have that kind of defensive resources.

Artest is good at one-on-one defense.

Dayao's basket protection and low-level top defense are top-level, but the assist defense is indeed a lot worse.

Joe Smith can only be said to be quite satisfactory.

P.J. Brown is old after all, and if he is in his prime, he can be counted on.

Although Iguodala can assist in defense, it can't compare to the kind of assist defense monsters like Big Hard.

Since there is no top defense monster, Sanders' restriction on Gu Yu is actually forced.

If Gu Yu chooses to break through in the middle, Artest will not let Gu Yu succeed.

Because the whistle-blowing scale is relatively loose, Artest's action is very large.

Even Gu Yu will be affected by actions such as arm jamming and pulling jerseys.

At this time, Artest will try to use his body and big moves to force Gu Yu to break through from the flank.

The left and right sides of the flank are Iguodala and Iverson.

Iguodala's defense was excellent, forcing Gu Yu into Iguodala's defensive zone.

In the face of Iguodala and Artest's pincer attack, even Gu Yu couldn't shoot easily.

Iverson looks like a good choice.

But Iverson just looks.

Gu Yu's height is much higher than that of Iverson, and the center of gravity is naturally much higher than that of Iverson.

Because, to avoid walking, Gu Yu definitely has to dribble.

And Iverson is just a master of steals!

Career average of 2.2 steals per game.

Although the steals here are mostly gambling steals.

But it is undeniable that Iverson's excellent steals.

While Gu Yu is fighting against DPOY-level Artest, he also has to guard against Iverson's steals.

In addition to Iguodala and Iverson, there are players like Hill and James Posey.

In this case, even a player as strong as Gu Yu cannot make every round without mistakes.

Even Gu Yu broke through the 76ers' first line of defense and went inside.

Also have to face the 76ers inside Optimus Dayao.

And Dayao is not without the ability to assist in defense.

Otherwise, in the original history, he would not have passed Battier because of Kobe. He was injured by Kobe Bryant because he helped his teammates to defend.

In the face of the careful arrangement of the 76ers, there have been various pursuits and interceptions.

Even as strong as Gu Yu, it will be very difficult to score points.

After all, basketball is a five-man sport.

Gu Yu is not Kobe's kind of player who plays with three or four teams as a big opener.

Therefore, Gu Yu chose to assist his teammates.

Iverson's own defense is a big problem.

After all, the disadvantage of height and weight cannot be made up by willpower and enthusiasm alone.

This is also a game between the two coaches.

Sanders: I just choke Gu Yu! I'll see if the rest of the Celtics can kill the game!

Rivers: If you keep Iverson on the court, I will go to the top five of the dead, focusing on Iverson and playing the wrong place!

At the end of the half, the two sides tied 46:46.

It can be said that in the first half of the contest, neither side took advantage of it.

Although Iverson was stared at and played out of position, the offensive end also caused great trouble for the Celtics.

At the same time, there is also Dayao.

Facing the alternating defense of Perkins and Okur in the low position, Dayao scored 15 points and 6 rebounds in the half.

Help the 76ers bite the score with the Celtics.

during break.

Miller also commented at this time.

"Looks like the Celtics are better."

"In this game, the defense of both sides is very good, but the Celtics' tactical cooperation is obviously more tacit."9

"Even in the face of the 76ers' defense, the Celtics can move in various tactics, the offense is more rhythmic, and the teamwork is better."

"Facing the Celtics' defense, the 76ers can't say that they don't have any tactics, but Iverson is the one who can run successfully. 39

"In the first half, Iverson and Yao combined for 31 points, accounting for most of the team's points.

"A role player, whether it's Artest or Iguodala or Hill, is obviously very difficult to score."

"I think that's a problem the Sixers need to overcome."

"Basketball is a five-person sport after all, and superstars don't play consistently every game."

"Once one of Iverson or Yao is in bad form in a certain game, will the 76ers concede defeat?

This is the biggest problem for the 76ers right now.

Although the media often say that the playoffs are the stage for superstars.

But superstars also need to have a complete system.

James also needs to be equipped with a group of shooters to shoot all the way.

Kobe also needs the triangle offense to win the championship.

When the 76ers faced the Celtics' iron-blooded defense, their tactics often couldn't be played out.

The Celtics are well stocked with 3-point shooters.

In the face of the 76ers defense, many times the tactics can't be played. At least a simple breakthrough and scoring the ball to the teammates in the corner or flank is still possible.

But the 76ers three-point shooter, the problem is not small.

Hill is inconsistent with three-pointers, averaging 31.5 percent from the field this season.

This hit rate is not a blow.

Even if Hill votes, it is estimated that it will not kill the game.

Korver and Antoine Walker were down on the defensive end.

Dayao, Joe Smith and P.J. Brown don't have the ability to make threes.

The 76ers are far inferior to the Celtics in offensive space.

In addition, there is Gu Yu, the auxiliary defense monster.

It's strange that the 76ers can play a good tactical cooperation!

Miller's remarks, although what he said was very reasonable, but the magician's face still darkened.

Because, he supports the 76ers!
