Chapter 1081 [Miserable, Down]

At the Media Day, the new veterans attracted the attention of journalists.

Boozer, Mo Williams, Carter and others all praised Guo Xu fiercely. It will be interesting to see if they can win the championship at the end of their careers, and I hope Guo Xu is as strong as he was in the past.

Nurkic was named as the core by Guo Xu, and many reporters interviewed him.

Today's snubbed is sophomore rookie Jordan Clarkson, who was thought to have good stats last season, and being selected as the best rookie didn't prove anything, and the Lakers couldn't win at all.

"I can be quiet about this kind of thing." Clarkson said in an interview: "I'm going to make noise on the field, that's my plan. ”

Since January last season, Clarkson has averaged 15.8 points per game in 38 starts and can play as a point guard. For the new season, he said he just wants to help the team win more games.

The reporter said that Guo Xu's arrival may reduce his possession of the ball and not be able to play as well as last season.

"I'm here to train hard and help the team win, without any other purpose," Clarkson said. I'm still going to be the same person I was, a blue-collar player. ”

In fact, Clarkson never considered himself a blue-collar worker in his heart, he was an ambitious person, but he was just low-key.

He was one of the few hard-working players for the Lakers last season, with good breakouts and mid-range shots, and he is suitable for individual singles with the goal of becoming the team's best sixth man.

After the injuries of Deron Williams and Bosh last season, Clarkson was the second most daring person for the Lakers after Nick Young, so how could he be willing to be a blue-collar worker?

He plans to go to the arena tomorrow morning to practice shooting and prove his strength against Guo Xu. He believes that in the confrontation game of tomorrow's open training session, he has a high probability of playing against Guo Xu, Mo Williams is old, and the Lakers need him to play as a backup point guard.

Most of the players are newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, even the second-round rookies are no exception, and Clarkson produced "Jason Guo is 34 years old, how good can he be?" "This kind of thinking, he thinks that his body has an advantage.

As a result, after the start of the open confrontation, Clarkson was abused by Guo Xu and was completely suppressed.

AFTER GUO XU FORMED A HABIT OF GOING HEADS-UP WITH WANG JUN ON EARTH SIX, HE HAD A CLEAR ADVANTAGE IN STRENGTH AGAINST CLARKSON, WHO WAS 196CM TALL AND WEIGHED 84 KG. He was completely unable to break through in Clarkson's close-fitting position, and his play mainly relied on the face frame to break through, and the shooting percentage of turning and shooting was not high.

On two occasions, Clarkson chose to forcibly turn around and break through, but Guo Xu directly cut the ball off to counterattack. Many of Clarkson's change of direction feints were imitated after watching Guo Xu's game, how could he use these techniques to deal with the faster and more explosive main player?

Guo Xu held the ball and went heads-up, but Clarkson had no choice, his body was too far forward and he was directly passed. Guo Xu relied on explosive power to eat hard against him, but after being hit, he would stumble as a big man, and he would be thrown away if he was a little slower.

If Clarkson is positioned relatively backward, Guo Xu can soar three points from a distance.

It's still not good for him to compromise in his position, Guo Xu beckoned to finish the block, he couldn't bypass the cover a little slower, and it was easier for Guo Xu to be too big after he was misplaced.

Now Guo Xu's sense of rhythm in playing has been integrated into the bone marrow, and he participated in the king's training and played against the competition on Earth Six.

Because the No. 4 position is a small forward cameo, the King's ability to prevent blocking and pick-and-roll is better than that of the Lakers. The Lakers' defense has weaknesses at first glance, power forward Boozer is slow, Harrell is inexperienced, and he is casually passed. As long as Horford is still alive, he is more suitable for small-ball tactics to play center and open up space.

The best defender of the center was Thackeray, who also gave his best in training and had a perfect attitude.

Tyrone Lue immediately said that Thackeray is the cornerstone of the Lakers' interior line in the new season, responsible for handing out water and throwing towels on the sidelines. It can't be helped, his offense is so poor that he is only suitable for playing on the sidelines.

WITH A HEIGHT OF 213CM AND A WEIGHT OF 122 KG, THACKERAY CAN OCCASIONALLY PLAY FOR A FEW MINUTES TO DEFEND AGAINST STRONG MEN.

In the parallel world, everyone else is a collection of wonderful goals, Thackeray's four-year NBA career, the fans made him a towel highlights, and it was very exciting, accompanied by various awkward dances.

Later, Thackeray joined the Japanese league and became a big killer on the basketball court, a super defensive player. He also participated in the slam dunk contest with an ordinary bounce that could no longer be ordinary, and won applause from the audience, which fully proved what it means to "tree Nowo Groot, people Nowo Sajistone".

Veteran Vince Carter also received a round of applause from the fans, who was in excellent shape and fit for two open dunks, one of which was a two-handed back dunk.

Carter will be 39 years old in January, and he still has incredible physical fitness, and he has been doing well from beyond the three-point line, and Guo Xu has made three three-pointers after attracting the bag.

Another surprise was the No. 12 rookie in the first round, Devin Booker, who was very accurate in receiving the ball and shooting 5-of-8 from the field in practice.

Booker is a promising rookie who is only 19 years old this year. He played one season for the University of Kentucky, averaging 21.5 minutes per game, scoring 10 points while shooting 47 percent from the field and 41.1 percent from three-point range.

Then he went to the NBA Draft, and it was unexpected for him to be in the lottery, because his college stats were not good. If it weren't for Guo Xu's proposal to ask for someone, the Lakers would not have selected him with the 12th pick.

Now that the Lakers are in trouble, management doesn't care about risking a first-round pick. If Jim Bass is ousted by Jenny, Kupchak will have to follow suit.

Booker's performance in the first training session gave them all a sigh of relief, and the 12 picks a three-point shooter, and it felt worth it.

Guo Xu believes that if Booker plays mainly without the ball and runs to catch the ball, the shooting rate should be higher. His low shooting percentage after joining the Suns has something to do with the different responsibilities he bears. He's got to be the main player with the ball, and he's the team's top scorer, he's the one who is heavily guarded, and he's always on the spot.

Playing next to Guo Xu, Booker will get some easy shots.

Seth Curry also played well, hitting four three-pointers, and all of his skills were average, just three-point accuracy. The team needs to improve its outside shooting, and when the opponent sends two guards to play small ball, Curry can come up and play a dozen.

Both Curry brothers have inherited the soft shooting touch of Daddy Dell Curry, and he can make a difference.

The most eye-catching performance on the inside was Harrell, who did not have a high defensive intensity in training matches, and he staged a violent dunk with a flat head again and again.

In fact, Horford played better, but he was not popular, and his style of play was too low-key. He was a mid-range shot after covering, focusing on passing, and scored 15 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists quietly, and also made a three-pointer, without a single dunk.

Mo Williams, Josh Richardson, and Bonner are average offensively and defensively, and can shoot three-pointers.

When he is not facing Guo Xu, Clarkson can also hold the ball and play alone.

After the reconstruction, the Lakers' first training cooperation was not bad, and the veterans were able to control the rhythm with experience, play tactics, and not mess around.

The worst performers were Boozer and Robertson, Boozer's speed was too slow, the defense of the black hole, and the mid-range shot was not accurate today. Robertson can only defend, and the offense is all about picking up leaks under the basket, and he can't make open jumpers.

After watching the training, the Lakers fans who attended the stadium had more confidence in the team, and their only concern was Guo Xu's physical fitness. Guo Xu didn't dunk in the whole training game, he has always played in a floor-to-floor style, and his physical fitness seems to have declined.
