Chapter 1183 [No. 1 on the strength list, who is too good]

Fans who had high hopes for the Clippers were disappointed in the preseason when the Clippers were beaten by the Lakers and lost by 43 points 82-125.

The Lakers' offense is unstoppable, at the beginning, Guo Xu held the ball and Adams played blocking and dismantling, Paul chased the defense slowly, and Guo Xu would easily pass the Clippers' newly poached center Mozgov.

Mozgov's lateral speed is slow and he can't prevent blocking and dismantling, and he can't keep up with Guo Xu's rhythm. Also with a height of 216CM, his mobility is not as good as that of Lakers teenager Zubac. Guo Xu attracted the change of defense and could also give the ball to Adams, who cut in the middle, who had a clear physical advantage in the penalty area to receive the ball.

The Clippers let Griffin defend and dismantle and go out to change the defense of Guo Xu, and Guo Xu's pass to the wing will also have a chance. Horford gave Booker off-ball cover, and Booker made the Clippers players head big regardless of whether they slipped the baseline or ran on the wing.

Mozgov still had to switch guards to interfere with the shot, and when he stayed near the restricted area, Horford could pull out and shoot straight threes. Austin Rivers, the starting quarterback of the Clippers, is only 193cm tall, and Booker's direct attack with the ball is enough for him.

The Lakers don't need Durant to defend the title, Guo Xu is watching the excitement from the sidelines, and the Lakers still suppress the "Big Three" Clippers.

In the second quarter, it was Durant's turn to play alone, and Clippers small forward Rohr Deng couldn't defend it. The height difference between the two is not large, and Rohr Deng can interfere with the shot, but Durant's back and face frame offense abuse him without discussion.

Luo Erdeng is not a giant even at his peak, he is just a second-rate star, and being selected as an All-Star twice is the limit. He's only 31 years old, and Clippers management thinks he's still a few years ahead in his prime, but it's impossible to expect him to get Durant to do it.

The Clippers lost by 43 points because the Lakers started to rest in the last quarter, and veterans like Wade did not play to train newcomers.

The Clippers also lost by 5 points on both sides of the fringe, the Lakers' twin guards Terry and Felton can both attack with the ball, the Clippers' fringe bench offense and defense are terrible, and the veteran Pierce can also get a base salary contract.

The enthusiasm of Clippers fans was extinguished at once, and if the Lakers started for a little longer, the Clippers would have to lose by 58 points.

If Chris Paul plays an ordinary strong team, the score is very stable, and he falls slowly and slowly, and rarely makes mistakes to deal with the opponent. Encountering the Laker Paul's style of play made fans anxious for him, Guo Xu was a fast whirlwind to score continuously, and he was not in a hurry when he was behind the score.

Guo Xu's warm-up game was lazy and did not defend seriously, and Paul still rarely launched a fast attack. He is not a fast-break guard, he joined the Rockets in the parallel world, the coach is D'Antoni, and he is still positional offense.

The Clippers' lineup is also not suitable for launching a fast offense, only Paul, Griffin, and Rivers are relatively fast, and the others are either veterans or positional offensive players. Roldeng's physicality restricts his ceiling, and Jamal Crawford is getting older.

The next six preseason games for the Lakers also won easily, and there was no need for complicated tactical routines, and the stars couldn't defend their opponents alone. Guo Xu was in charge of launching a counterattack, and the team always led in the third quarter, and no team could stalemate with them until the fourth quarter.

Against the Warriors, the Lakers also easily won by 30 points, ending the battle in the third quarter.

After Brook Lopez joined the Nets, Rudy Gobert firmly occupied the starting center position, and he could only defend and not attack Adams.

The Lakers are attacked by Durant with the ball, Guo Xu plays without the ball, and Gobert's strong specialty in the defensive penalty area cannot be brought into play, and the two cores of the Lakers do not enter the restricted area very much, so they shoot outside. Gobert's defense is too far and will be passed by Guo Xu.

It is worth mentioning that the Warriors signed center Scum Pachuglia this year to fill the void left by Lopez's departure. Pachulia doesn't move as fast as Gobert, and it is estimated that he will still have to rely on his feet to enter the playoffs.

Guo Xu is not afraid of this, he shoots very fast, and he is very proficient in jump shooting and reverse throwing skills. He shoots to dodge the defense and relies on speed, not the type of Leonard who relies on jump height and height and arm span. Durant has to be careful in the playoffs, and he's the type who gets easily stepped up.

The first phase of the NBA's official power rankings was announced, and the Lakers ranked first, followed by the Warriors, followed by the Spurs and Raptors.

The Nets were only ranked 10th in the first power rankings, with a 3-4 record in the preseason.

After taking the three starters, the strength of the Nets team has decreased significantly, and the attack power is not bad, but it can't be prevented. Da Lopez and Spark Happy Beast are not the same type of center, he has poor mobility, does not have a large defensive range, and is not strong in rebounding ability.

If there are teammates on the team who are good at grabbing rebounds, there is no problem for Lopez to be in charge of the card, but the Nets mainly rely on James to grab rebounds, which is not good. The Nets' new short power forward, Trevor Booker, also had decent rebounding, barely shooting on the offensive end, and couldn't open up space like David West.

The Nets' poor record is related to James' retention in the preseason, and the team will mainly rely on him to lead the new season, and he will not be able to give his best in the warm-up. In fact, throughout the regular season, James was ready to play healthy basketball and wait until he made the playoffs.

The biggest surprise was that the 76ers are eighth in the power rankings, 6-1 in the preseason, and lost their only game to the Raptors. If it weren't for their bottom of the league last season, they would have been even higher in the power rankings in the preseason.

As soon as Kobe Bryant left, Kemba Walker showed the demeanor of a star. He is no longer a scrap point guard who passes the ball in the middle of the court after being glared at by death, but an outside offensive core who is proficient in all kinds of breakout shots.

The three starters Millsap, Gallinari, and Russell can open up space to catch the ball and shoot three-pointers, and Walker and Jokic in the middle are opportunities to block and attack.

Walker can break through misalignment, attract the ball after the defense, Jokic can catch the ball from mid-range and long-range shots, and can also respond to the offense like Horford, using his wide body to protect the basketball and find teammates in the running position.

When the opponent's swingman is not too tall, Gallinari can also hold the ball and play alone, like a weakened version of Durant. Russell plays mainly off the ball, relying on off-ball cover to run to catch the ball, and occasionally he and Millsap can also play one.

The 76ers' Gary Harris, Jaylen Brown, Joe Ingles, and Nene guaranteed the offensive firepower of the rotation, with Spanish guard Sergio Rodriguez in charge of the organization.

Rodriguez left the NBA in 2010 and this year the 76ers signed him to strengthen the No. 1 spot. Coupled with the fact that Russell can also play point guard, the 76ers' overall outside strength is good.

In addition to the center, most of the 76ers' bench players have range, especially Ingles, who shot 45.8% from three-point range in the preseason, and is the team's top scorer. He hasn't played much since the Jazz were traded, and he'll definitely get a chance to play in the new season.

The more obvious weakness of the 76ers is the lack of good benches at the No. 4 position, and Millsap's ability to fight after he is off the court is not good. The league has entered the era of small ball, and this shortcoming has also been weakened, and Gallinari can make a cameo appearance in the number 4 position to play small ball tactics.

Now the 76ers' wing strength is too strong to rank among the top few in the league. Jaylen Brown can only play off the bench, and Will Barton, who was traded from the Nuggets, is a marginal man. Although Barton was only a second-round rookie in 2012, he has improved significantly in the last two years, and he can shoot suddenly, but his performance is inconsistent.

After Brad Stevens became the coach, he put on a swing man's formation, full firepower, and more flowers.

At this time, people realized that the 76ers would really become a big dark horse, Guo Xu's vision was too good, who was too good......
