Chapter 1141 [The Most Impressive Moment for You]
In the final game of the regular season, the Lakers defeated the underdog Jazz 119-106 at home.
Guo Xu played the whole game, shooting 32 of 50, 14 of 21 three-pointers, 12 of 12 free throws, and scored 90 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 steals. played against the deputy squad leader in the west, giving Guo Xu the best chance to brush up points.
The Jazz's No. 1 position is the weakest in the league, and the starting point guard is Shelvin Mark, who is 191cm tall and weighs 92 kilograms, and has averaged 12.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and 5.7 assists in 31.7 minutes per game this season. He was a 2011 second-round rookie and has never averaged a double-double in points or five assists per game before this season, just a role player.
The Jazz's backup point guard was Jordan Clarkson, who was traded from the Lakers, and he was unable to fight against Guo Xu at all.
Clarkson averaged 15.7 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 33 minutes per game after joining the Jazz, but the team is at the bottom of the West with only 18 wins, and he may not be able to get the high salary he wants in the summer.
He personally played for the bottom of the team for two consecutive seasons, and you only need to watch the game to know that he is weak in attack and defense, and he must hold the ball, this kind of person is not suitable to play in a strong team.
Well-known sports media outlets have sent reporters to Los Angeles, and there are also special reporters from China.
Before this game, Guo Xu had already averaged 50+ per game, and he did not take a break in the last game, and broke Chamberlain's single-season total score record, becoming the second player in NBA history to score 4000+ points in a single season.
In addition, Guo Xu has completed 82 30+ feats, and is the only person in NBA history to do so.
He averaged 42.8 minutes per game, scoring 50.8 points, 4 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 3.3 steals while shooting 53.4% from the field, 44.5% from three-point range and 91.4% from the free throw line.
There is no need to choose this year's MVP, Guo Xu will definitely get a unanimous vote. His minutes are the highest in recent years, and since Iverson's retirement, no player has averaged more than 42 minutes per game in a single season.
The most terrifying thing about Guo Xu is his efficiency, Iverson played more than 43 minutes in two seasons, and the best stat was 43.1 minutes in 2005-06 season, with only 33 points and 7.4 assists.
Guo Xu played a little shorter, and even scored 17 more points than Iverson, and he led the team to the second record in the league, Iverson led the team to ninth place in the East that season and missed the playoffs.
The reporters first asked him to evaluate the Lakers' regular season this season and talk about his feelings.
"It's a great feeling, this season is different from the ones I've experienced in my previous career," Guo said. Because I've made a lot of history, I've tried my best to score, to play more strategically, to find ways to throw the basketball into the hoop. After this comeback, I tried hard to average 50 points per game, and I'm glad I succeeded. ”
The reporter asked: "What was the most memorable moment of the season for you?" ”
Guo Xu replied without thinking about it: "My two children were born, I won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Comedy, and now I have broken the record of points per game." ”
The reporters were a little speechless, and two of the three things had nothing to do with basketball.
The reporter asked: "There will always be ups and downs in the form of the players, but your performance has been stable, how did you adjust?" ”
"Actually, I've had a lot of ups and downs than other people, sometimes I score more than 80 points, sometimes I can only score 40 points, and if I play consistently, I can average 60 points per game."
The reporters applauded vigorously, and the words "only 40 points" can only be used to describe Guo Xu.
The reporter asked: "As a recognized leader as the strongest leader, how do you encourage your teammates when the team is in trouble?" ”
Guo Xu said: "I will shout to them: cheer up, don't continue to release water, I have started to work hard to defend." We're a young team with inexperienced players and luckily it's not too much. ”
“……”
Guo Xu is telling the truth, and this is how he encourages his teammates, so that the young players have a surge of self-confidence, and they are not afraid of the stars and can perform at their best in training. As teammates with Guo Xu, they don't have to take too much responsibility on the offensive end, and they can't prevent stars and won't be blamed by the boss, they have no pressure.
In fact, the Warriors and Spurs often play nonsense for a while, allowing the players to play freely, and appropriate relaxation is good for the players.
On the final day, there were 14 games, and players from other teams attended the press conference, and all of them were asked about Guo Xu, asking them to comment on Guo Xu's amazing performance this season.
When they knew that Guo Xu almost scored 100 points in the face of the Jazz, the other stars were numb, and Durant directly said that he didn't know how to evaluate it. That's the truth, after all, it's hard for other people to think about scoring 60 points at once.
Before Guo Xu joined the NBA, NBA stars could blow for a lifetime if they scored 60 points in a single game, and Durant, who had won the scoring title, currently has a career high of only 54 points.
The Nets' James, Wade, and Howard were the most embarrassed, and the reporter asked them if they were confident to win if they met the Lakers in the finals.
Isn't this nonsense? What faith do you have? They can't count how many times they have been abused, and thanks to the few times they have encountered them in the regular season in the East, their psychological shadow is not so big that they dare not face Guo Xu.
This year's NBA has set a number of all-time records, with two teams winning 70+ games at the same time for the first time in a single season.
The Lakers, who won just 17 games last season, have won 53 more games this year, and their winning percentage has improved by a record.
The Spurs finished in third place in the West with 65 wins, the highest winning percentage in NBA history. The division between the strength and weakness of the teams in the West is very serious, and the fourth-place Thunder only has 53 wins, which is far behind.
The Thunder are one of the most disappointing teams, and Tristan Thompson is a desperate gamble with a mid-term trade, but their record still can't improve.
The Thunder's important rotation lineup is Westbrook, Deron Williams, Durant, Dion Wites, Kyle Singler, Enes Kanter, TT Thompson, Perkins......
This is a lineup that pays the luxury tax, but it just can't win when it plays, and the player's positional battle is not efficient in singles, only the shooting rate can be improved when it is fast, and it is full of holes when defending.
With the Thunder missing Andre Roberson and a defensive specialist missing on the wing, an unremarkable man can sometimes play a vital role.
The Thunder management only felt that they were pitted by the Lakers, and Delon and Wei Shao overlapped and could only play on the bench. Even playing off the bench Delon is not efficient, he is now too slow to play point guard, and his shooting is inconsistent at point guard.
Last summer's favorites the Clippers are fifth with 49 wins, the Pelicans are sixth with 42 wins, the Suns are seventh with 40 wins, and the Grizzlies are on the final leg of the playoffs with 38 wins.
For the first time in nearly 30 years, two Western Conference playoff teams have won less than half of their games. This is not a good phenomenon, and the ratings in the east cannot go up because of this problem. In addition to the Lakers, the direct reason for this result is the group of stars, only a few strong teams, and the others are all weak teams.
9-15 are the Rockets, Kings, Nuggets, Mavericks, Trail Blazers, Timberwolves, Jazz.
The Rockets are in ninth place after a rebuild, and owner Alexander is starting to think about selling the team, and they are missing Harden without a suitable core around the team. Lowry's strength is a lot worse, and he can lead the whole team's offense with sharp breakthroughs, but he is not a super scorer.
Harrison Barnes averaged just 18.3 points, 5 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game after being focused on development. He's not the core material, and the ceiling is at best to become a Rudy Gay-caliber player, relying on jump shots for scoring and lacking the ability to burst points.
He just ended his four-year rookie contract, and the Rockets did not renew his contract early, he is average and wants a high salary, and he plans to play for which team he wants to play for in the summer......
