Chapter 195 [Away Score Plan, Favorable Time, Place and People]
On March 18, the Lakers played away against the Hawks, and it was a game that was recognized as no suspense.
After getting up, Guo Xu asked O'Neill to have lunch with him and went to a famous Mexican restaurant near the hotel.
After playing the Hawks, the Lakers will return to their home court, even if the opponent is not strong, Guo Xu feels that with Kobe's urine, he may choose to come back early, after all, the team doctor said to let him rest for one to two weeks, not necessarily two weeks.
Guo Xu is desperate to put in a luxurious stat, which may be his best regular season and last chance to score points. When Kobe Bryant comes back, if he still shoots wildly, it is easy to affect the harmony of the locker room.
After eating for a while, Guo Xu said with a straight face: "Shakel, I need your help at night, can you help me brush the data?" I hope to average 20+ points per game in my rookie season. ”
"No problem, I'm afraid the Eagles will lose too quickly." O'Neill laughed.
"Let's be a little lazy when defending, just keep the difference at about 10 points, and give the Eagles the illusion that they can win." Guo Xu proposed.
"Your idea is very good, I like it, then you have to try to play 50+ to complete the task." O'Neill said heavily.
"It's too conservative, how can you get 50+10, hehehe......" Guo Xu also hehehe.
The two of them don't look like good people no matter how they look, which attracted the sideways glances of a couple at the table next to them, but these two are not basketball fans, so they couldn't guess that something big would happen in the night's game.
O'Neill agreed very happily, and no matter how he cooperated with Guo Xu, he could ensure the data and not affect his own interests. And he didn't like Kobe Bryant, and helped Guo Xu play beautiful data, so Kobe was not so important. What will Kobe Bryant do to compete with him for the boss in the future?
In O'Neal's plan, his basketball status is unshakable until the age of 35, and unfortunately, he will decline much faster than imagined in the future.
Guo Xu does not have any psychological burden on such a thing as brushing data, and he will not feel embarrassed.
The NBA is a commercial league where every team seeks interests, and each player must actively defend his own interests.
It's a very important thing for players and teams to achieve a win-win situation. The team wants to sign the player for the lowest price, and the player wants to get the highest price. Therefore, many players will brush up on the data during the season of the contract year to take the initiative when signing the contract.
This kind of chaos is unavoidable, many players play very actively in the contract year, and after getting a big contract, they will become slack, and most of the "high salary and low ability" bad contracts come from this.
In addition, rookies also like to brush data, they usually do not have the conditions to brush data for the whole season, but the team management will be willing to let them brush a single game, which is conducive to enhancing fame and increasing commercial value, Guo Xu has seen many examples of this in his previous life.
For example, Brandon Jennings of the Bucks, who scored 55 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in a game against the Warriors on November 14, 2009. In that game alone, Jennings broke all kinds of historical records, including the youngest Mr. 50+, the rookie with the most points in a single quarter (29 points), the least number of games with 50+, etc., and it was only the 7th game of his career.
Even more outrageous was Suns sophomore Devin Booker, who scored 70 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals in an away game against the Celtics on March 24, 2017, while the Suns lost 120-130. As a result, he became the sixth Mr. 70 and the youngest Mr. 70 in NBA history.
Guo Xu firmly believes that as long as he has the ball in the whole game, he can also play super data, and his current personal ability is definitely stronger than the two young players in the future, and it is not half a star.
Jennings averaged 15.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.3 steals in 32.6 minutes per game in his rookie season, shooting just 37.1% from the field and 37.4% from three-point range.
Booker averaged 22.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game in his second season, shooting 42.3 percent from the field and 36.3 percent from three-point range.
Neither of them has been teammates with superstars, but they just rely on high shots for high scores, and the difficulty of brushing data is much higher than Guo Xu. Guo Xu is different, his partner is the first person in the alliance in this era.
After Jordan's retirement, players generally kept a low profile, and Iverson's average of 30+ per game was enough to get fans excited, and he currently scored 50+ twice in the regular season, both in January, with 54 points against the Jazz and 51 points against the Raptors.
Guo Xu feels that Iverson's shot is still not wild enough, 54 points is not a difficult number to surpass, and he is going to open everyone's eyes tonight!
arrived at the stadium on time in the evening, and in the away team's locker room, Guo Xu took the initiative to chat with Phil Jackson, hoping to start. It's not enough to rely on O'Neal's cooperation, Guo Xu needs more playing time, which has to be decided by Jackson, not to say no.
"What's your reasoning?" Jackson asked with a smile.
Guo Xu definitely can't say that in order to brush up on data, he took out the prepared rhetoric and analyzed the tactics and the opponent's situation.
"Because the Hawks' starting point guard is 178CM Blevin Knight, Jason Terry will be the starting point guard, and they like to play offense with their opponents. The downside of this play is the height and defense of the guards, and they lose badly against the Raptors on the court. As long as I start, it's easy to beat Knight. ”
"Okay, I'll give permission." Jackson smiled.
"Zen Master" does not break the little Jiujiu in Guo Xu's heart, he knows very well that Guo Xu is a player who likes data. In Guo Xu's opinion, he is already very selfless, and he has many fewer shots than Kobe and O'Neal, but in the eyes of the coaching staff, he is bold and often rushes to play.
And this is Guo Xu's cleverness, he rushes to shoot when he feels good, and actively passes the ball when he feels bad, and his shooting rate is much higher than Kobe's, and the coaching staff and players have no opinion, how can he be blamed for being so accurate?
The game against the Hawks is a good opportunity for players to brush up their stats, since the Eagles traded away Mutombo, there is no advantage in playing any team, and now they are letting the young players play with their eyes on next season.
KNIGHT, WHO IS 178CM TALL AND WEIGHS 75 KILOGRAMS, WAS TRADED TO THE HAWKS BY THE CAVALIERS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE YEAR, AND THE EAGLES POACHED HIM TO CLEAR SALARY SPACE AND WILL NOT RENEW HIS CONTRACT IN THE SUMMER.
Knight was one of the 16 rookies in the first round in 1997, with 9 points, 3.2 rebounds and 8.2 assists in his rookie season, which was very eye-catching. He is characterized by his speed and sharp penetration, but his mid-to-long-range shooting is a mess, and his defensive end is like a black hole. Guo Xu likes to deal with this kind of guard the most, he and O'Neal can play blocking and dismantling and brush assists, and direct heads-up also has obvious advantages.
After Knight joined the Hawks, he shot less than 4 percent and averaged 6 points and 6 assists per game, but he started and played about 30 minutes in each game.
Approaching the game, Jackson announced his tactics, arranged for Guo Xu and Fisher to start together, and gave Guo Xu unlimited right to shoot.
Fisher is envious, jealous and hateful, dumb eats coptis, and can't say what he suffers.
In the team, Fisher and Guo Xu have fought each other, and now Guo Xu is playing with him, even his strength advantage is not obvious, and Guo Xu can't easily squeeze it away after eating hard, he suspects that Guo Xu used some medicine that the outside world doesn't know, otherwise Guo Xu weighs less than 80 kilograms, how can he resist him now 94 kilograms?
There are some things that Fisher can't explain, but it is a fact that the other party suddenly became a star, and he can only bear it silently.
