The other extreme of Guo Xu's infinite scenery is the betrayal of Carmelo Anthony.

In the list of "overrated players" and "cancer players" in the media, Anthony is always at the top. At home games in New York this season, fans have often booed him.

Anthony's timing was too poor, and the Knicks had reached the Finals twice before he arrived. The team began to weaken immediately after he joined, and fell to the bottom of the table last season, only slightly better than the 76ers.

Gordon Hayward, a swingman who was traded to the Magic, started the season averaging 20.6 points, 5 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game. He has a higher offensive efficiency than Anthony and a smaller contract than Anthony, and the fans can't stand it.

There are many reasons for today's result, and Anthony himself cannot escape the responsibility.

In an interview with Hilario Nene in Brazil in the summer, he said of his former teammate Antony: "He could have been the best player in the league, he had a good jumper, great technique and solid low post fundamentals".

"But from the Nuggets to the Knicks, Anthony was always just a scorer, not a qualified leader." "He's the best player in the low post, but he's so selfish, he can't make his teammates better, and if he does that, he'll be the best player in the league," Nene said. Of course, if he defends...... Because he knows how to defend, I know him."

Nene started his career with the Suns, and he knows exactly what it looks like to be the star who drives the team. His words implicitly said that Anthony was lazy on the defensive end, and he almost said that he was a cancer. His words were immediately regarded as truth by many fans, daring to be such a black boss, Nene must be very unhappy when he partners with him.

Nene did have a very unhappy time with the Nuggets, because as soon as he entered the league, he was used to winning under the leadership of Guo Xu, but the Nuggets couldn't even pass the first round of the playoffs. He also hacked Iverson after he was traded, believing him to be a blacksmith.

Aside from his on-court performances, Anthony isn't smart off the pitch either.

As soon as he entered the NBA, his relationship with the underworld was exposed, he was born in Baltimore, and his gangster background was real.

Best of all, when he was still in Baltimore, he used to promote the local gangster's rebellion against police rule. At the same time, he has repeatedly released his gangster tattoos and gangster gestures on social media, not ashamed, but proud.

In the summer of 2006, Anthony messed up everything. He signed the Nuggets to a five-year contract extension for the longest time, while the stars in the same period only signed three-year contract extensions. So in 2010, Anthony couldn't become a free agent like Wade, Bosh, and James, so he could directly join the Knicks.

He joined the Knicks in 2012 and signed first and then traded, and he has a long tenure, and he can choose to jump out of the contract after this season, but it is difficult to get a long-term contract with a high salary with such a poor record with such a poor record.

After Guo Xu arrived in New York, Anthony called him and wanted to invite him to dinner, but Guo Xu refused on the grounds of participating in the crew interview.

He can roughly guess the reason why Anthony asked him, as long as Bosh retires due to illness after this season, the Lakers have plenty of salary space, and Anthony wants to join the Lakers to be Guo Xu's younger brother.

This little brother, Guo Xu really can't afford it, and it is impossible for the two to team up.

Anthony had a lot of potential when he first entered the league, and with a good coach, he might be able to become a superstar. It's a pity that after he formed the "Golden Double Black Hole", he didn't know what defense was at all. Now that he has entered the league for 13 seasons, his skills and mentality have been set, and he is a cancer.

And Anthony also wants a high salary, he is now a data brush, in addition to wanting to choose the team that is rebuilt by the champion, giving him a high salary will definitely be a loss.

Guo Xu didn't agree to eat together, which was tantamount to politely rejecting Anthony's proposal to join forces, Anthony could figure it out, and he wouldn't mention it again in the future, so as not to embarrass everyone.

On the evening of the 10th, the Lakers VS the Knicks.

Guo Xu exploded in the first quarter, and the offense was unstoppable, slashing 27 points and 1 assist. In the second quarter, he scored 16 points in seven minutes, and his efficiency was amazing, and he scored 43 points and 3 assists in the half.

He played the third quarter again, and his shooting percentage finally dropped, scoring 19 points on eight free throws from the field and making fouls, and clocking out with a total of 62 points and four assists.

The Lakers' lead reached 37 points, and Guo Xu could not continue to play in the final quarter. Last season, the two teams were still half a pound and eight taels, both of which were at the bottom of the league, and this season the Lakers abused the Knicks to play.

The Knicks played so badly, today's attendance was not low, many fans came to see Guo Xu, and many fans turned against him in the third quarter, and shouted MVP neatly when he made free throws.

The Knicks lost not only to star ability, but also to the roster. Their lineup has obvious flaws and the combination is not reasonable.

The starting point guard is Spanish veteran Jose Calderón, who can't keep up with Guo Xu's speed at all, and the opponent can pass with a change of direction.

Calderon is a heavy point guard with a height of 191cm and a weight of 95 kg, who is known for his shooting and playmaking. At his peak, he defended decently, but now it's a black hole, and he can't defend against speedy guards.

The Knicks' backup is Jerry Grant, a two-way guard who is 193cm tall and weighs 90 kilograms, and he is the No. 19 rookie in the first round this year, and the Knicks traded him to the team at a loss. He has average experience and speed, and he is played by Guo Xu, and he likes to reach out and be fouled.

The Knicks' interior blocking and pick-and-roll ability is also terrible, Joakim Noah, who has been selected to the All-Defensive Team many times, is injured and can't play, and the starting center is the blue-collar meat shield Robin Lopez, and the mobility is a lot worse. Their starting power forward is tall rookie Porzingis.

Porzingis is 221CM tall, and his speed is not slow, but the center of gravity is too high, and he can't bend down when he encounters a blocking and dismantling defender.

His strengths are offense, his height and long arms, his athleticism is among the top of his height, his shooting ability is excellent, his shooting speed is extremely fast, his hand is soft under the basket, and he can thrive in the fast-paced basketball system.

Guo Xu broke through again and again, and in the third quarter, the Knicks didn't care about winning or losing the game, and resolutely wrapped him. Whichever way he goes, the player goes close to the flank and frees up the others to shoot casually. There were a few times when Guo Xu took the ball and was sandwiched by three people in positional battles, even so, he still had a way to score when counterattacking.

Guo Xu scored 101 points against the Knicks that year, and they didn't want Guo Xu to have another amazing performance, and in the end, the Knicks lost neatly and successfully defended Guo Xu with garbage time.

On the offensive end, Anthony no longer has a star appearance, he plays too simply, and many shots are dribbling and stop-and-go jump shots, and throwing them at Carter. His back hit also lost the aura of the year, and slowly soared, unable to get rid of Carter's defense.

In order to let Guo Xu play for a while, Tyrone Lue did not arrange a bag, and Anthony was still inefficient in heads-up, shooting 8 of 20 in 35 minutes, 2 of 6 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws, scoring 24 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists.

Porzingis finished with 12 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks on 3-of-10 shooting, 1-of-3 three-pointers and 5-of-6 free throws.

Horford, the Lakers' second-leading leader, performed well both offensively and defensively, shooting 6-of-9, 1-of-3 three-pointers, and 2-of-2 free throws, and played a triple-double of 15 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.

He only scored 3 more points than the rookie, but the effect was much greater, Porzingis couldn't be a fulcrum for the time being, he was empty, and he was not good at blocking and passing.

At the post-game press conference, Guo Xu and Tyrone Lue both praised Horford, and the media began to say that he was underrated.

It was this group of people who said he was overrated on the Thunder back then......
