Chapter 1139 [Abused over and over again, 50+ in 14 games]

On the 22nd, the Lakers lost to the Spurs at home, and Guo Xu got a quasi-triple-double of 51 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists.

Against a strong team, Guo Xu is desperate to brush up the score. In the second half, he played seriously and his teammates defended with all their might, but the Spurs worked together perfectly on the inside, with Pau Gasol and LaMarcus Aldridge scoring back-to-back points in the final quarter to have the last laugh with a five-point advantage.

PJ Tucker's cameo appearance as a power forward has worked well for most teams, and he and Andre Roberson can switch defenses infinitely, especially in the pick-and-roll. It's not good against the Spurs, Aldridge's inside singles can't be covered by being too short.

Aldridge is a big man who is obsessed with mid-range shots, basically does not score in the three-second zone, and the type is biased towards Nowitzki and Bosh, and will make all kinds of fancy mid-range shots. Most of his mid-range shots are upside down, and with Rashid-esque straight-arm shots, he has an extremely high shot and is difficult to block.

The advantages of the reversal throw are that the shot is fast, the physical strength is saved, the mobility is strong, the throw is easy to fake the combination of the throw, and Ade is also good at doing retreat. He looks like a big swingman, pitifully efficient when he's not on the right and a superstar when he's on the right.

The addition of Pau Gasol has also strengthened the Spurs' interior strength, as he can pull outside the three-point line to respond to the offense, play blocking and dismantling with his teammates on the outside, shoot longer, and shoot three-pointers from the ball.

This season, Pau Gasol is shooting 43.8 percent from three-point range, averaging 1.2 goals per game. However, the Spurs shared their playing time, and his stats dropped to 12 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 blocks.

Veteran Duncan was the biggest drop in stats, and he was willing to play as a substitute for the team in the final years of his career, making the Spurs' rotation stronger offensively and defensively. He averaged 8.6 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.3 blocks in 25 minutes per game.

Duncan's greatness, in addition to his personal ability, lies in his spirit of sacrifice. He will definitely retire after playing this season, but he is as low-key as in previous years, with no idea of holding a retirement tour, and the ball has been greatly reduced.

The Spurs' three major interior players have played less than 30 minutes, no matter how they are matched, the key is that Duncan and Gasol are both willing to give up power to young Ade, which is a kind of inheritance.

The Spurs on the perimeter rely primarily on Kawhi Leonard to score, and he has improved every year and has grown into the Spurs' No. 1 core. He averaged only 33 minutes per game, with 21.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.8 steals and 1 block. He shot 50.6 percent from the field, 44.3 percent from three-point range and 87.4 percent from the free-throw line.

Back then, Vicky wanted to train Leonard to be a 3D player, but he didn't expect this rookie with a low pick to develop good offensive ability with the ball.

At this time, only Guo Xu knows that Leonard still has room to rise, if he is not reimbursed for a season by Pachulia's serious injury, he will be the top three small forwards in the league from next season, and this position is estimated to be maintained for a period of time.

The Spurs' weakness is the No. 1 position, where both starters and benches are just regular role players.

There are also a number of pundits who are optimistic that the Spurs will win the championship, and their roster depth and starting benches can make a difference. The key is that they have clearly stayed in the regular season, and only Leonard has played more than 30 minutes. If the stars play longer, the Spurs will have a better record.

Under these conditions, the Spurs averaged 104.7 points per game and conceded 93.2 points per game. Among the strong teams, they are the most balanced in attack and defense.

In the face of the Spurs, he can still score high points, which makes Guo Xu stronger, and Leonard is the favorite for the best defensive player, and he can't defend him alone. Leonard's speed can't keep up, "Death Coil" can't be used, whether it's positional warfare or counterattack, the guard has to defend.

Some media commented on the game: "The Spurs let Jason score only 51 points, relying on fast rotation defense and packing, it was an overall effort, and this strategy was very successful." ”

On the surface, it is a praise for the Spurs, but in fact, it is a praise for Guo Xu, and scoring 50 points can be described as "only", which is definitely the first time since the emergence of basketball.

Guo Xu's streak of 60+ was ended, but he also set a record of 9 consecutive 50+ games, leaving Chamberlain behind. And he dished out eight assists after cutting back on his shots, and he always attracted the pack and helped his teammates get open shots.

Chamberlain can only compare rebounds with Guo Xu, and it is impossible for modern players to break the rebounding record.

Many players in that era were amateurs, playing basketball games after work, shooting skills were not regular, a group of blacksmiths.

In the 1960-61 season, when Chamberlain averaged 27.2 rebounds per game, his teammates Paul Alikin averaged 8.6 rebounds per game, Tom Gula averaged 9.4 rebounds per game, and Guy Rogers averaged 6.4 rebounds per game. Combined, these four grabbed 51.6 rebounds, and all members of the modern team averaged about 45 rebounds per game.

On the 24th, the Lakers defeated the Suns by 7 points, Guo Xu scored 63 points and 4 assists, and he was not polite against his old club.

Jeremy Lin was delivering food to Guo Xu, and Klay Thompson couldn't prevent him, and there was a big difference in movement speed.

This game Thompson didn't feel as hot as last time, scoring only 22 points and shooting 3-of-10 from the field.

On the 25th, the Lakers lost back-to-back 101-103 to the Nuggets, causing a big upset.

The Nuggets youngsters were eye-catching, and at the last minute, forward Antetokounmpo broke through to the basket and scored the killer shot.

Guo Xu's hand is not good, but he continues to maintain a record of 50+ in a row, and has reached the 11th game. He played the full game, shooting 18-of-44, 5-of-16 from three-point range and 12-of-14 from the free-throw line to finish with 53 points, two rebounds and two assists.

Guo Xu, who hit 26 irons, has no regard for the hit rate, and it is difficult for the opponent to limit him to less than 50 points who are determined to score, as long as he makes more shots, he can get back a high score.

On the 27th, the Lakers lost 105-117 at home to the Warriors and suffered consecutive defeats, and Guo Xu won 55 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals regardless of the data, and 50+ for the 12th consecutive game.

The Warriors are 65-8, surpassing the Lakers, who have lost nine games, and ranking first in the league.

The Spurs and the Warriors are both direct competitors in the West, and Guo Xu doesn't care so much in order to brush up on the data, he is not afraid of facing the Spurs in the second round, and there will be a home-court advantage at that time.

The Spurs now have a 61-12 record and just lost to the Thunder on the road. With nine games left, it's nearly impossible for them to catch up with the Lakers in April.

Now the headache is the ** Vicky and Spurs players, although they won the Lakers twice in the regular season, but in the playoffs, Guo Xu changed to a normal style of play that combines sudden points and shots, and the Spurs are enough to withstand it.

The strength of the Spurs' No. 1 position has declined a lot, and Tony Parker has only averaged 11.8 points, 2.4 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game this season, and he has become worse on both offensive and defensive ends, and he is not a star. Patrick Mills, who came off the bench, was strong in attack and weak in defense, and Guo Xu was at a disadvantage in all aspects.

One of the things that Guo Xu is more terrifying than when he was in the Suns is his playing time. He plays more than 40 minutes per game, and his physical strength is unlimited, even if the Lakers don't have a good bench at the No. 1 position, it is not a weakness, and all teams' defenses have to withstand his test.

Next, Guo Xu scored 64 points against the Grizzlies and 60 points against the Heat, for 14 consecutive games of 50+.

Conley and Dragic couldn't guard against Guo Xu one-on-one. Conley also exposed the shortcomings of the offensive ** under the unguarded strategy.

The point guards of the whole league have been abused by Guo Xu all over again, and the Western players have been repeatedly destroyed by him. He was able to lead the team to win while scoring high points, which is fundamentally different from those pure stat brushes that shoot below the team's average.

Next, every game of the Lakers will be broadcast live in North America, and some broadcast agreements have been signed temporarily, and all fans are paying attention to Guo Xu, waiting for him to create a miracle......
