Chapter 1083 [The Strongest!] The first person in basketball is back! 】
"I bet the Lakers will be slaughtered by the Clippers in the opener, Jason Guo has been resting for too long, his physical fitness has declined, and a small guard like him will be useless once he has no speed."
"Jason Guo still wants to win the championship at his current level? Paul blew him up! The Lakers gave him two years of salary cap to death, and it is estimated that he will retire after two years of comeback like Jordan, and then the Lakers will rebuild. Jordan was in the Wizards at the time, but he averaged 20+ per game with a base salary, which was much more cost-effective. ”
"The strength of the 76ers has been significantly strengthened in the new season, and I feel that it is possible to enter the playoffs after the introduction of Millsap and Walker, and it will be interesting if the Lakers are at the bottom of the league."
"Paul will prove that he is the best point guard on the ...... roster"
After the release of the first edition of the NBA's official power rankings, online fans discussed it hotly. Because the Lakers are only ranked 15th in the league, most "experts" believe that they barely make the playoffs at best, and it is difficult to think about the first round.
Another expert analyzed: "Jason said that he wanted to lead the Lakers to win the championship in order to attract big-name players in the free market to take a salary cut to join, but unfortunately in the end, no big-name veteran believed that the Lakers could win the championship, and the strongest free agent they signed turned out to be Vince Carter." Jason's plan has fallen through, and he's sure to have a hard time coming off the season. ”
TNT host Barkley, who has been a close friend of Guo Xu, also said: "The Lakers' lineup is too poor, if it is Jason in his prime, he may be able to take them to play a dozen, 24 years old and 34 years old are two completely different concepts, he just came back to lead this kind of weak team, if he wins the championship will be the biggest miracle in basketball history." ”
O'Neal said: "He's really a single core this season, and his teammates are very average in scoring. If Booker and Carter are the starters at the No. 2 and No. 3 positions, it will be difficult for the Lakers to prevent the opponent's offense, Carter's physical strength will not last long, and Booker will not have any data in college. ”
After the Lakers played two games in the preseason, the coaching staff changed to let Booker start and Andre Roberson came off the bench, which was to strengthen the defense in the second quarter.
The interior defense can only make up for it, and the lack of a big forward who is good at blocking and dismantling can be said to be the biggest weakness of the Lakers. Interior lines who are good at blocking and dismantling are not cheap, and Bosh is an example.
Even a pure blue-collar like Biyombo, the average annual salary of the Hornets for renewing his contract has reached 12 million. The parallel world is cheaper than Yongbo, and the Hornets of Earth One have made consecutive playoff games, and Biyombo's defensive ability has been affirmed, and the data is not too bad.
In short, because of Guo Xu's stay, everyone thinks that the Lakers are not good.
Guo Xu deliberately caused controversy and wanted to surprise everyone. When Tyrone Lue became the coach in the summer, many people said that Guo Xu joined the Lakers to find abuse, so he wanted to abuse more thoroughly.
What is the most painful way to lose? Is it a hard crush?
No, Guo Xu believes that the most painful loss is when the star sees hope, has the illusion of "I can win", and then is crushed by the opponent. It would be even more interesting if the fans gave him a mouthful of poisoned milk before the game.
Guo Xu wants to know how many talking black cauldrons will be left on the Internet after the Lakers' opener is over.
The first game of the regular season has long been decided, with the Lakers hosting the Clippers in the same city. This is a deliberately arranged matchup between two star point guards, and the two teams are also competing for the Los Angeles market.
The last time the Clippers were out in the first round of the playoffs, this season it seems that the lineup is stronger, and the two sides are full of gimmicks.
Guo Xu once expressed disdain for the strength of the Clippers in an interview, but he couldn't help but want to release the water so that the Clippers could see the hope of winning, pretending that his personal ability was not good, so he could only organize an offense.
Sure enough, the black cauldron was fooled, jumping up and down to turn on the taunt mode, and many people transformed into Paul Mi, and in the two days of the offseason, they were about to blow Paul into the sky.
Paul himself had the illusion that "I can win," even though the Clippers didn't play well in the preseason 4-3.
In the summer, Clippers management went all out to bolster the roster, poaching the Lakers' Jordan Hill and Wesley Johnson.
They signed forward Josh Smith for a base salary and thought they had picked up a big bargain. Plus, they traded for "Prince" Austin Rivers, who had a terrible time with the Pelicans.
With the addition of Cole Aldridge, Vallejo, Brandon Buss, veteran Pierce, Artest who changed his name to "Ci Shiping" and others, the Clippers seem to be very tough.
Looking at the player's fame and card lineup, experts believe that the Clippers and the Lakers are not the same grade, and the core Paul is 30 years old this year, and Guo Xu also has an age advantage.
On the 27th, Paul practiced shooting, and he was going to treat this game as if it were a playoffs.
Although many people say that Paul is Guo Xu's first point guard after retirement, in the past few years, Paul was not even qualified to be Guo Xu's opponent, and he never won Guo Xu in the playoffs, and he was beaten in the opposite position. He won the regular season, but the opponent was famous for his "Guo Bufang" in the regular season.
Paul wanted to beat Guo Xu and told him: "It's impossible for someone like you who doesn't work hard to dominate the basketball world all the time!" It's been two years and now everything is different! ”
Guo Xu, who also practiced shooting, had no special words to tell Paul that he was not targeting Paul, and he was going to try to set a record this season, so he didn't plan to let everyone go.
His plan is to abuse everyone over again, believing that they will feel more.
When he played, Guo Xu received warm applause from the fans, the ratings of TNT radio exploded, and the opening game of the defending champion Warriors vs Pelicans, which started earlier, was not much attention.
After the warm-up, the two sides started the game, and Tyrone Lue took the time to emphasize the tactic - "Give the ball to Jason!" ”
Lakers starters: Guo Xu, Booker, Carter, Horford, Nurkic.
Clippers starters: Paul, Rivers Jr., Pierce, Griffin, Jordan Hill.
Hill played positively against his old club, the Lakers, and won with all his jump ball, and the game began.
Paul chose to play singles in the first round, changed direction and broke through and crashed into Guo Xu's arms. In the face of point guards, even if he can't pass the first step with speed, he can also rely on his strength advantage to make a strong breakthrough. He's very strong, and that's why he's been named to the All-Defensive Team time and time again.
Paul had never had an advantage in the face of Guo Xu's strength before, but this time the two faced each other, and his strength was even more at a disadvantage. In the six time loops of the earth, Guo Xu often goes to the gym.
Guo Xu withstood Paul and didn't retreat, Paul was a little disturbed by the rhythm of dribbling, and hurriedly protected with his back. It was difficult for him to turn around after Guo Xu was close to him, and he moved sideways to find the running position of Rivers Jr.
Rivers Jr. relied on "My dad is Doug" to be the starter, and when he was with the Pelicans, he played badly and was squeezed out by LaVine. He's been in the league for four seasons, and his offensive options have been problematic, and he has never averaged double-doubles per game.
He opted to force a break, a pull-up jumper that was deflected wide by Booker's interference, and Nurkic grabbed the rebound.
Carter received a pass from the backcourt and passed to Guo Xu with two steps, Guo Xu didn't wait for his teammates to attack quickly, and suddenly stopped and jumped two meters outside the three-point line in the middle.
After Guo Xu retired, NBA outside players did not have the habit of defending in the midfield, and Paul retreated to the three-point line.
Guo Xu and Wang Jun have both engaged in midfield shooting competitions in the time loop, and he has practiced conventional offensive means in the middle circle, especially accurate in the middle, with a shooting rate of more than 40% during training, and even a shooting rate of more than 50% when he is in good condition.
The ball drew a super high arc and hollowed into the net, 3-0!
Kenny Smith shouted: "Guo Xu hit a long-range three-pointer with the first shot, announcing that the first person in basketball is back!" ”
