Chapter 1207 [Hypocritical Brush, Invincible Existence]
At the press conference, Guo Xu, Durant, and Horford sat in a row to be interviewed by reporters.
When the reporter asked the players to talk about their feelings, the two of them had a tacit understanding and asked Guo Xu to say it first, and they almost pushed the microphone in front of them to Guo Xu's side. Not only can they not grab the ball with Guo Xu, but they can't rush to talk.
Before the start of the new season, Guo Xu dared to set the goal of winning all, and the other two stars of the Lakers did not dare to say so. Now it's really happening, and everyone thinks that Guo Xu led the team to do it.
Guo Xu said amazingly: "I am very happy to achieve the initial goal, but the full season I said including the playoffs has not yet been completed." So it's not time for us to relax, we have to keep up the good work. ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then applauded Guo Xu warmly, with these words, he can make headlines.
Before this season, no star had ever aimed to win all, and the most daring person only dared to lead the team to 80 wins, and in the end even half of the task was completed. Guo Xu not only dared to speak, but also did what he said.
In fact, Guo Xu didn't expect the Lakers to do it, there are too many uncertainties in this kind of thing. Thanks to the overall low number of injuries, plus a few quality players who have just joined the Lakers and are desperate to prove their quality, they play hard.
They can't fight because the Lakers were champions last season and won 70 in the regular season. If they didn't win more games than Guo Xu's crazy soaring points after joining, the media would definitely give them ultra-low evaluations, saying that they were dispensable or even dragged behind.
For Durant and Wade, if there is no 75 wins, it is a failure. For them to prove that they are good helpers, they will need to break the regular season record set by the Suns.
The reporter asked: "What do you think is the main reason why the Lakers are so strong and win all the regular seasons?" ”
"It's because we're so strong and we haven't had injuries yet, so it's strange that I lost with a superstar. The Lakers' Big Three are far better than the Lakers, who won 70 games last season, and other teams can only rely on luck to beat us, relying on our poor performance. However, we were almost out of the ordinary, always creating easy scoring opportunities for the opposition. ”
The reporter asked: "Durant and Horford used to have a mediocre record when they were with the Thunder, and many people say that Westbrook is very far behind you, and that he is averaging a triple-double per game to brush up on the data, what do you think?" ”
Guo Xu smiled: "You should ask the players who work with him, not me." It doesn't matter to me whether he brushes it or not, and I have the confidence to sweep the Thunder in the playoffs anyway. ”
The Thunder are on the final train of the playoffs and will challenge the Lakers in the first round. With the gimmick of Wei Shao leading the team independently, Xiao Hua will not be able to let the Thunder out of the regular season, and there are many fans who like to watch the data.
Durant and Horford joined the Lakers to play their best record, and they only made one Western Conference final when they were with the Thunder.
In the face of doubts from the media and fans, Wei Shao resolutely refused to admit that he had swiped data.
"I just play to win, like I did before," he said...... For me, you're going to do different things because of the change in personnel. Sometimes you do more, sometimes you do less. My job is a basketball player, and I do everything on the court. So I can play without the ball, I can play with the ball, and other things like defense. ”
Seeing that Wei Shao was so determined, the fans gave him a new label "hypocrisy".
The number one player in the league is Michael Jordan, who has a usage rate of 33.3% and an efficiency value of 27.9, which means that Jordan has a lot of possession, but he can ensure efficient contributions.
In second place is Wei Shao, who averages 32.7% possession per game. His desire to control the ball is beyond most people's imagination, and his career efficiency is currently only 23.3. This year, Wei Shao also broke the record of ball possession in a single season, as high as 41.7%, and is the second player in NBA history to break 40%, better than Guo Xu's 40.3% last season.
This thing is embarrassed to say that he can play without a ball? Kobe Bryant and Iverson are both behind him.
Defensively, he was more nervous, spending most of his time as a point guard near the box and letting the big man go out to defend the guard. Even if the rebound ball bounces to his teammates, and there is no opposing player around, he will bravely rush to grab the rebound with his teammates.
The other two stats were even more fierce, winning the scoring title, averaging 10.4 free throws per game in the league, second only to James Harden, who made 10.9 free throws.
TNT's top 10 awkwards swept the top two. The second is that he received the ball on the bottom line, held the ball and pretended to direct his teammates to run, and walked four steps before dribbling, and was whistled by the referee for a walking violation.
The first is that he was unguarded on the fast break alone, and when he got to the basket, he suddenly remembered that he was still one assist away from a triple-double, so he turned and passed the ball to Kanter, who was being followed by the opponent. Kante was completely unprepared and was hit in the face by his very deceptive pass, and the opponent broke the ball and counterattacked, and the Thunder made a hilarious mistake.
Recently, there was a classic question on the Internet, "If Wei Shao's statistics are 9 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists, what will he choose for the team's last offense?" ”
This question is obviously a satire of Wei Shao's triple-double, and a large number of fans have given the correct answer. He will try his best to break through the foul, hit the first free throw, deliberately miss the second free throw to grab the rebound in the frontcourt, grab the ball even if no one is guarded, and pass it to a nearby interior teammate who looks like he can score.
This kind of tumor, Guo Xu is too lazy to evaluate.
A reporter also asked about NBA competition. Guo Xu said: "This situation will not last long, and I should retire after leading the Lakers to three consecutive championships. And I'm not going to have a second comeback like Jordan, and even if I join a rebuilding team to win the championship, I'm just repeating what I've already done, and it doesn't mean much. ”
When other players and coaches were interviewed, they all praised Guo Xu first, and then answered questions related to themselves. They are all about to get used to it, and they have a tacit understanding with people.
That night, the Lakers returned to Los Angeles for two days off to prepare for the first-round game against the Thunder. They have all home-court advantage in the playoffs and a greater psychological advantage.
The playoffs haven't started yet, and everyone believes that the Lakers will successfully defend their title because of Guo Xu. Although his stats are not as impressive as last season, there is no substitute for tactical role.
You can also understand why he took fewer shots than Durant, and it is obvious that he really doesn't care about the statistics of regular season total points and total assists.
In the total scoring list of the playoffs, Guo Xu has long been ranked first, and he is the only player who has more than 7,000 points, reaching 7,247 points, and Jordan, who is in second place, only has 5,987 points.
LeBron James is third with 5,811 points. Abdul-Jabbar was the No. 1 scorer in the regular season because of the length of time he played, and he ranked fourth in scoring in the playoffs.
Kobe Bryant was the most affected by the butterfly effect, and he was ranked fourth in the parallel world playoff scoring list, and now he is just ranked 20th, scoring only 3,578 points. In 19th place is Chamberlain with 3,607 points. Zhang Dashuai's ranking is so low because there were too few playoff games in that era.
Guo Xu also ranked first in the total assists list in the playoffs, and was the only one on the 3,000, reaching 3,214. Stockton, the regular season assist king, has only 1,839 in the playoffs, which is not as good as Elvin Johnson's 2,346, which ranks third.
Of course, Guo Xu doesn't care about the total statistics of the regular season, and he has already been alone in the playoffs. He doesn't need to prove himself anymore, everyone knows that he is invincible in the basketball world......
