At 124-118 in the final game, the Lakers got off to a good start at home.

Guo Xu scored 48 points and 11 assists, shooting more than 50% from the field, the best performance in the game.

After the game, some fans on the Internet described him as "only scored 48 points", expressing their disappointment. You averaged 50+ points per game in the regular season, and you didn't score more than 50 points in 5 games in the playoffs, which is a serious malfunction.

Of course, this is a joke, everyone can see that Guo Xu has adjusted his playing style, and the number of assists has more than doubled compared to the regular season. In fact, he is right to play this way, and players should pass the ball more often when facing the bag, whether it is outside the three-point line or near the penalty area.

There is no "black pot" on the Internet to say that Guo Xu brushed data in the regular season and slipped in the playoffs. Guo Xu is recognized as a strongman in the playoffs, which directly leads to a decrease in the competitiveness of the game.

Chinese media praised: "The Spurs played better than the Lakers as a whole, and all six of the team scored double-doubles, but Guo Xu's performance alone can determine the outcome of the game." ”

Spurs starting point guard Tony Parker made 2-of-8 shooting and 1-of-1 from the free-throw line to finish with five points and six assists; Mills came off the bench to finish with five points and two assists on 2-of-9 shooting and 1-of-5 three-pointers. They are really "only", and they are guarded to death.

Gasol, Leonard, and Aldridge scored 20+, and Duncan only scored 4 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.

A lot of pundits began to quartak, and his cameo appearance as a power forward was surprisingly good, scoring 10 points and 11 rebounds, and he worked hard as soon as he got on the court, as if he had unlimited energy.

Some people believe that if the Lakers hadn't traded Clarkson for Tucker after only a few games, they wouldn't have been able to play such a good record in the regular season and would not have won the championship this year.

In the second game between the two sides, Nurkic's defense went wrong again. He was extremely ineffective at defending Ard, and even worse when he switched defenses without the ball, and Spurs Green hit three three-pointers in the first quarter.

In the first quarter, the Lakers trailed by 9 points 28-37 at home, and the Spurs dominated the game.

The Lakers' adjustment method is that Guo Xu will not rest in the second quarter, play with a substitute, and play the whole game if the score is close to him. In the last month of the regular season, he often did not rest in the second quarter, and the coaching staff knew that he was physically good and did not worry about his final season inefficiency.

Guo Xu led the team to play a wave of 13-2 and quickly overtook the score, and the complex tactics did not need to be played, just run and bomb. The Lakers are on the Death Five lineup, with Harrell at center and Tucker at power forward.

The formation is completely stretched, Guo Xu and Harrell play blocking and dismantling is an opportunity, the opponent must wrap him, he finds the gap to pass, Harrell can catch the ball and impact the basket.

Duncan can still defend the penalty area with good size and reach, but it will be a headache to encounter a half-orc like Harrell, and the opponent will rush too hard. And he has to go out from time to time to change Guo Xu, otherwise Guo Xu runs to catch the ball and shoot, and the time difference is played.

Harrell performed well, playing 8 minutes in this quarter and scoring 10 points, people feel that Guo Xu's ability to drive his teammates is super strong, and if the two don't go together, Harrell is a wastewood.

In the third quarter, veterans Carter and Nurkic were powerful. The two of them and Guo Xu played a triangle attack on one side, and Guo Xu's positional battle attracted the ball on the bag.

Carter made three three-pointers and made one rebounding layup to score 11 points in the quarter. He can still participate in the fast break, and his body is not at all like the 39-year-old veteran.

Nurkic scored many strong baskets, scoring 8 points in a single quarter, and relying on his personal ability to help Guo Xu create a lot of singles opportunities.

Guo Xu had 9 points and 8 assists in a single quarter, and 29 points, 2 rebounds, 17 assists and 2 steals in the third quarter, leading the Lakers to a 17-point lead.

He continued to play in the final quarter, playing more than 8 minutes and cutting a big double-double of 41 points, 3 rebounds and 21 assists, and the Lakers led by 25 points and entered garbage time.

Lakers fans didn't leave the court early in garbage time, applauding and cheering on the young players who came out on the court, and this season, the loyalty of Los Angeles fans is back.

Spurs fans who watched the game on TV were generally depressed. They hope Duncan can retire with a championship and Gasol last summer, with many bullish on the Spurs after Gasol joined last summer. Now when Guo Xu is on the court, Popovich doesn't dare to let Duncan play for a long time, he can't keep up.

In this year's playoffs, Duncan averaged less than 20 minutes per game. The Spurs are almost impossible to turn the tables around from 2-0 down, and the legend of the No. 21 rookie is coming to an end this season.

The Spurs can't defend Guo Xu well, and the movement speed of Ade and Gasol is not very fast, and the weakness of the interior line is anti-blocking and pick-and-rolling. Dior, who used to be substituted, was known as a flexible dead fat man, and his defense and dismantling were not bad, but now he has no "flexibility", only "dead" and "fat" remain.

On May 11, the major awards of the regular season were released one after another, and Guo Xu was unanimously elected MVP. And he was unanimously elected for the second time in his career, and was elected as the regular season MVP for the ninth time in total, leaving the rest of the stars far behind.

There is no suspense about this, his performance this season is too outstanding, ranking first in the league in many statistics, and he can enter the "180 club" with an average of 50+ per game.

In addition, long before retiring, Guo Xu broke an assist record, surpassing "Magic" Johnson to the top of the NBA playoffs assist list, and he is now a new record for every assist.

He now has 2,618 playoff assists, the first player in NBA history to surpass 2,500 assists in a playoff game.

This is not a simple statistic. Johnson has never missed the playoffs in 13 seasons of his career, with 2,346 assists. Stockton, the all-time assist leader in the regular season, only had 1,839 assists in the playoffs, and was almost overtaken by forward LeBron James.

Retired star Steve Nash, who is known for his playmaking skills, is only 1,061 and Kidd has 1,263, and neither of them has as many playoff assists as Guo Xu in their combined careers.

Guo Xu made a total of 575 three-pointers this season, becoming the first player in history to hit more than 500 three-pointers in a single season. He took that record to a staggering level that no one will break in the future. Curry became only the second player in history to shoot 400 three-pointers in a single season and made headlines.

In the voting for the Most Improved Player Award, Guo Xu also ranked third, and his statistics were much better than the season before his retirement.

Curry deserves to be the most unlucky star, without Guo Xu, his data will definitely be able to win the MVP three times in a row, but he failed to get a single vote this year, becoming the second place in the MVP list, scoring list, efficiency list, three-point list and so on.

The most terrifying thing is that he is also Guo Xu's hand-picked successor, known as the weakened version of Guo Xu.

Curry lamented in an interview: "I don't know if I'm a success or a failure right now. ”

As a successor, he is successful, but compared with Guo Xu, of course he is a loser, even if the Warriors can win the Lakers, they have to rely on the whole, and no one thinks that his individual ability is stronger than Guo Xu.

Guo Xu held a press conference and talked about his feelings: "I was not born a hero, I was a player who entered the NBA at the end of the draft, from almost losing to the first in history, this is my career. If you have a dream, then be bold and chase it, nothing is impossible! ”

After reading Guo Xu's feelings, online fans are all opposed, and the messages are very funny.

"It's strange to believe you, there won't be a second person like you in nearly 100 years."

"Don't fool around, if someone else trains like you, let alone become an MVP, you can't be selected by the NBA."

"Don't pretend you're successful through hard work, right? You fell to the end just because the scouts were blind. ”

The scouts of the various teams lay down their guns, and no one felt that they were wronged because they were collectively blind too many times......
