Chapter 490 [Guo Xu’s Trash Talking Ability Is Seriously Underestimated]

After arriving in Minneapolis, Guo Xu practiced shooting again the next morning and felt good.

After lunch, he checked the news online on his laptop at the hotel, and found that some Timberwolves fans were beginning to discuss the next opponent, and believed that whether the Pistons or the Pacers entered the finals, the Timberwolves would definitely win.

Kobe, Jordan, Pippen, Pat Riley and other people were interviewed and they all expressed their optimism that the Timberwolves would advance to the finals.

With so many people optimistic about the Timberwolves, Guo Xu felt that he was sure to win today. In his previous life, they were a group of poisonous suckers. Whoever they sucked would die, which was also a symbol of metaphysics.

When the players came out that night, Guo Xu received crazy boos from the fans. Some people seemed to rush down to the stands to fight him to the death. He understands the reason. Timberwolves fans all hope that Garnett can win the MVP. This year is the best opportunity but they lost to him, and they are unwilling to do so.

The game was broadcast live on TNT radio. Barkley criticized D'Antoni before the game, saying that the Suns coach was a bit undeserved.

Barkley's peak was with the Suns, and he has a certain affection for the team. He hopes that the Suns will win the championship, but he feels very unhappy now that he is trailing 0-2.

"The only tactic D'Antoni knows is running and gunning. Once he is on the ground, he doesn't know how to play. He relies entirely on Jason Guo's personal ability to drive the team. During the game, D'Antoni made some stupid mistakes. At the last moment, Kukoc, who had not played much in the playoffs, was allowed to come out and shoot the winning shot. If he had reacted better on the spot, the score would have been at least one to one."

Kenny Smith smiled: "So this year Jason was unanimously elected as the MVP, and D'Antoni did not win the Best Coach Award. Many people can see his shortcomings. Huh? The Suns changed their starting lineup today."

Suns five: Guo Xu, Joe Johnson, Marion, Stoudemire, Nene.

Timberwolves five: Cassell, Sprewell, Trenton Hassell, Garnett, Earvin Johnson.

This is actually the Suns' strongest lineup. Bell didn't do a good job guarding the convulsing Sprewell in the first two games, while Marion guarding the Timberwolves' blue-collar swingman Hassell was a waste.

Before the referee came over to organize a jump ball, Garnett said next to Guo Xu: "Are you ready to be swept? Little Man?"

"Do you want to end up like Piller? You're a weakling who doesn't get a single vote." Guo Xu replied with a smile.

Garnett didn't expect that Guo Xu would fight back so quickly, and he was stunned.

Garnett thought Guo Xu wouldn't talk trash, so he wanted to stimulate him before the game and make him have a psychological breakdown. After the Timberwolves eliminated the Suns, he could deliberately leak this incident online, which would become a classic in NBA history. .

In the end, Guo Xu was not affected at all, and his reply was even more exciting, which made Garnett a little angry.

"Your girlfriend tastes like donuts," Garnett said again.

Guo Xu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud, because similar words were famous in his previous life, and Garnett also said it to "Melon" Carmelo Anthony.

As a result, Anthony was angered and rushed into the Celtics locker room after the game to fuck Garnett. After being stopped by the staff, Anthony, who refused to give up, blocked the Celtics bus and wanted to beat Garnett. Garnett, who was called "very bloody" by fans, was too cowardly to show up. Finally, Anthony gradually calmed down after being persuaded by security personnel and the Knicks head coach. Garnett publicly apologized afterwards and settled the grudge.

Guo Xu smiled and said: "Excuse me, who else can think highly of you, the Husky King, except your mother? I think you will have to dismantle the three-headed monster lineup next year."

"..." Garnett took a deep breath and fell silent. If he continued talking, he doubted that he would lose control of his emotions. Guo Xu's trash-talking ability was seriously underestimated.

The two spoke loudly, and everyone else heard it. The Suns players, who were still a little nervous at first, were greatly boosted in morale. Guo Xu is nearly two heads shorter than Garnett, but he can watch the other person talking trash as easily as if he were chatting.

The Timberwolves players felt that the boss was a bit cowardly. He took the initiative to provoke and didn't say anything to the other party. Then it was over? A few threats and a few glares are enough.

But that's it. Garnett's character is that of a tough guy who is fearless and never does anything but BB.

Nene and Garnett won the jump ball. Guo Xu gave the ball to Joe Johnson and ran to the right corner.

Joe Johnson organized in the middle, Guo Xu slid down the baseline on the right and ran to the left corner. Stoudemire blocked Cassell, Garnett switched defense, Guo Xu then ran up the line, and Nene made a second block. Help him run to 70 degrees and receive a pass from Joe Johnson.

Garnett caught up, Guo Xu made a feint and broke through the middle with the ball. He couldn't get rid of it, but he had an opening to pass the ball to the basket.

After Garnett was led to the outside by Guo Xu, Johnson followed Nene and stood closer to the outside. There was a mismatch inside Stoudemire's single against Cassell. How could he let go of this opportunity? He turned around and made a one-handed dunk. 2 to 0.

Even if he has unlimited shooting rights, Guo Xu will still pass when he sees this kind of mismatched opportunity. During training, he discussed his playing style with his teammates and predicted possible situations. Once Garnett was far away from the basket and Olavokandi was not available, the penalty area would be relatively empty.

When the Timberwolves attacked, Guo Xu let Cassel two steps away. After encountering the pick-and-roll, he pursued the defense from the inside without causing any misalignment.

After playing two games, he has become more and more familiar with Cassel's methods. Close defense is of little significance. He is the kind of person who likes to attack with his back, and his back is better than his face. Guo Xu directly prevents breakthroughs and mainly interferes with shooting. Even if he can't prevent it, at least he can reduce physical exertion on the defensive end.

At the beginning, Cassell ran the tactics first, organized the offense according to the coach's arrangements, and passed it to "Madman". The latter singled out Marion for a pull-up jump shot under interference, and Stoudemire grabbed the rebound.

"Madman" is used to playing against Bell, and he always has a way to shoot or break through, which is related to his usual training. Hassell, the Timberwolves' blue-collar swingman, is a defender similar to Bell. Now that Marion has switched to the main defense, he doesn't have much close contact, but it is easier to block shots or interfere with shots based on physical fitness. The "Madman" cannot maintain the offensive rhythm of the first two games.

In the Suns position battle, Guo Xu passed the ball to Joe Johnson to organize and continue to play without the ball. He first attracted Garnett to switch defenses and rush outside the three-point line under the cover of Stoudemire, and then made a big circle along the left side.

As soon as Garnett followed out, Joe Johnson lobbed the ball directly to Stoudemire in the middle. The latter used both hands to dunk. Cassel did not dare to foul for fear that the opponent would score 2-1. Stoudemire's explosive power is too strong, and ordinary fouls can't be stopped at all. 4 to 0.

When the Timberwolves attacked, his teammates passed the ball to Garnett. He faced the frame and stepped forward, but failed to pass Nene, who was as fast as himself. The turnaround jumper missed due to interference, and Marion grabbed the rebound.

Guo Xu caught the ball and slowed down the pace. The Suns also began to attack with a guaranteed success rate. The opponent had at least 3 or 4 people who could guarantee the speed of returning to defense. It was difficult to create easy scoring opportunities by playing more and less. The first two fast break shooting percentages were Not high.

In the positional battle, Guo Xu had a way to make the Timberwolves uncomfortable. He started running again. This time Garnett guarded the bottom corner and then ignored it, letting Cassel pursue the defense. Nene made a second block.

Veteran Johnson was a step too late when he switched to guard Guo Xu. Guo Xu caught the ball at a 70-degree angle on the left and shot it into the net. 7 to 0.

Sanders had a premonition that something bad was going to happen, and the Suns had seized on the Timberwolves' weakness, which was that the center position was not strong enough, and Garnett was unable to take care of both the penalty area and the perimeter. legends of tomorrow
