Chapter 1097 [Unique, Disappearing]
Rondo's appearance was the turning point of the game, and the Lakers sealed the victory with a 12-2 run against the Kings.
George Karl didn't call a timeout for a long time, and finally called it like arranging tactics for the Lakers, and the team's offense and defense became a mess.
The Lakers were replaced by Robertson to defend Harden, defensive tactics were marked, Guo Xu seriously faced Rondo, every position was no longer empty, and the periphery was marked.
When the core was most needed to step up, Harden singled out Roberson and hit the iron again and again. Harden chooses to break through, and Lakers interior players will be wrapped around the restricted area.
Robertson is undoubtedly a small man, with only D and no 3 in terms of technology, and he can kill the Lakers if he plays for a long time. However, occasionally Roberson is very effective in defending a wave, with Guo Xu here, the offensive end does not need Roberson to output firepower, he only needs to be an expert in a certain field.
The Lakers will not be open in the restricted area, and the Kings junior Stein has no range and can be empty.
Guo Xu played the whole quarter, scored another 10 points in the second half, broke through the consecutive Stein fouls, and let him break down with six fouls. After Hibbert came out, Guo Xu ran and shot two more three-pointers.
In the end, he played 44 minutes, shooting 26 of 42, 12 of 19 three-pointers, and 16 of 16 free throws, finishing with 80 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals. Under the constant entrapment of the opponent, Guo Xu's shooting rate also reached 61%, the three-point shooting rate was as high as 63.2%, and the free throw rate was 100%.
The Lakers won two straight games 123-108, with only three players scoring in double figures and very concentrated possession.
Horford played 35 minutes, shooting 5-of-7, 1-of-2 from three-point range and 1-of-1 from the free-throw line, recording a triple-double of 12 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists.
In positional battles, Horford was mainly responsible for organizing the offense, occasionally receiving the ball, and taking on tasks similar to Draymond Green in the system, barely entering the box throughout the game.
Booker played 30 minutes and had 10 points and two assists, and he overpowered Jordan Clarkson, who played just 16 minutes and scored six points in the internal competition.
The Kings had four players score in double figures, and Harden finally recorded a super triple-double of 54 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, which was equally amazing.
It's a pity that Harden just cut empty, and the Kings lost two games in a row. In an interview, he bluntly said that he couldn't prevent Guo Xu.
"I don't think anyone can stop him, and when people used to talk about the strength or weakness of the stars, everyone had different opinions, and if you compare the stars of different eras, it will always cause controversy. Now it doesn't seem controversial to say that Jason is the No. 1 in NBA history, I think he's unique. ”
George Carr commented: "Jason has great physicality and perfect ball handling, he can score under the basket as he wants, and he can also hit three-pointers in the midcourt. Other point guards can't play like he does, and he plays like a shooting guard. It's not that we're weak, it's that he's too strong. ”
Being beaten by the opposing star with this kind of super data, Karl's position is unstable, and he has to say something to excuse himself. In order to prove that what he said was correct, he also hoped that Guo Xu would play so well in the future, and he could score higher single-game scores against other teams.
Some reporters wanted to hear Rondo's evaluation of Guo Xu, but they couldn't get their wish. Rondo had only seven points and five assists, and his stats were poor and he didn't attend the press conference.
The Lakers' press conference was packed, and all major media outlets sent reporters. Guo Xu talked about a few thoughts as usual, and then the reporters began to ask questions.
The reporter asked: "You feel better now than before you retired, how did you do it?" ”
Guo Xu replied: "Because I didn't go all out to brush up on the data before, the Suns always won the game easily, and I usually went off the game before I had a good time playing in the regular season." If I focused on scoring instead of assisting, that's the way it is. ”
The reporter asked: "Will you play like this all season?" ”
"Yes, because the Lakers are a rebuilding team and need me to score more. We did some experiments in the preseason, and the multi-point team offensive mode was not very suitable for the Lakers, and it was easier for me to make more shots to ensure efficiency. ”
Guo Xu explained a few words, lest the number of shots in the future break the record, and a group of fans said that he was alone. The Lakers' current lineup is not alone, and his scoring efficiency is indeed much higher than that of his teammates.
The reporter asked: "What data do you think you will get in the end?" ”
"This can't be estimated, it depends on the state, and no one can guarantee that they will be in good shape all season and have no injuries."
The reporter asked, "How did you come up with the idea of defending Harden behind him?" ”
"I just thought of it, and then I gave it a try. It doesn't matter if you don't defend it well, I just get more points, I didn't expect him to really be affected. ”
The reporter asked: "You have three more wonderful dunks today, and your bounce looks better than before you retired, how did you work out?" ”
Guo Xu smiled and shook his head: "This is not a recent practice, I used to consume a lot of money off the field, and I had more than enough energy." This year, the situation in my family is special, and I have nowhere to use my strength. ”
Journalists know what he's referring to......
Guo Xu occupied four of the top five spots that night, with three dunks and one ultra-long three-pointer. If his teammates had been more beautiful in receiving assists from him, the top five goals would have been his.
The beauty that this Lakers team wants to play depends on Guo Xu, and it is impossible to become an "empty city" like the Suns back then, so the lineup determines the style of play.
The inside line is all floor flow, except for Montrez Harrell. Except for Guo Xu, the outside line is almost all floor flow, even if the veteran Carter can jump, he has already started a healthy play.
The sports media is full of news about Guo Xu, and fans from all over the world have gone online to comment on this game, especially Chinese fans are very enjoyable, and China's NBA ratings are the first in the world.
"Guo Xu came back to break the record, and his scoring ability is simply stronger than before he retired. As long as he has the form of the 2005-06 season, he is fully capable of leading this Lakers team to a championship, and the Suns will not be much better than the Lakers at that time. ”
"The league owes Meghan Fox and D'Addario several Best Defensive Player awards, if it weren't for their good defense, Guo Xu played like this every season, and it is estimated that others would have been abused and wanted to retire."
"It doesn't matter what the record of the total scoring list is, as long as Guo Xu's average points per game this season exceeds that of the peak Chamberlain, no one will be able to compare with him in the future. His scoring ability is the strongest, and he used to take too few shots because of the organization. ”
"I just want to know what the black cauldron who said Guo Xu couldn't do in the summer is doing, why don't they speak?"
In two games, the Internet black pots completely disappeared. With Guo Xu's current data, even the peak black cauldron can't think of any reason to black. If Guo Xu still has weaknesses, the weaknesses of their idols will only be greater.
For example, Harden, Guo Xu scored 80 points on his turf, but he was not uncomfortable at all after losing. Tomorrow the king didn't play, so he left the arena and called his friends to the nightclub.
President Adam Shaw watched the news, and the bald head began to sweat profusely again. Now the situation is very obvious, the individual ability of other stars cannot be compared with Guo Xu at all, and he will definitely steal all the limelight.
The media about other stars are casually mentioning that their performance on the basketball court is not attractive, and there is a bit of fun off the court.
"The Great" Embiid has been reimbursed for two consecutive years, and he has relied on funny tweets to brush up his presence. Kobe's wife, Vanessa, is pregnant again, and the Internet begins to predict whether their fourth child will still be a girl, etc......
That night, the Lakers flew to Portland to play back-to-back games against the Trail Blazers.
