Chapter 1002 [Focus Battle!] PK King James successor! 】
On November 3, the Suns' away game against the Warriors is the focus of this round, and Guo Xu PK is the successor Curry!
The Suns checked into the hotel in Oakland in the evening, and Stephen Curry called Guo Xu early the next morning to invite him to lunch. The idea of an insidious schoolboy to hype himself up in this way is a shortcut to fame.
He wants to boost his popularity and aspire to be a Western Conference All-Star this season, and he didn't even have 100,000 votes before. This popularity is really miserable, even Joe Johnson is not as good.
Fans generally have the impression that Curry was a laggard in the Warriors, especially after he was injured last season, Kobe Bryant "forcibly" led the team to the playoffs, and it sounds like the Warriors are really like a group of CBA teammates.
In the parallel world, in 2013, Kobe Bryant also "forcibly" led the Lakers F4, who was the first in the league in free throws, to enter the playoffs, and the fans who were moved couldn't, although they all thought that the 2013 championship had no suspense and it was definitely the Lakers.
Curry has lost a lot in terms of player contracts, and he signed an early extension with the Warriors in the summer, and only signed a four-year, 44 million contract with an ankle injury. At this price, the Warriors management is already very sincere.
If Curry wants to make more money in advertising endorsements, he must be popular. Guo Xu happily agreed to eat together, and if Curry performs well after he retires, he will also have a bright face.
Can Curry play at a high level? Guo Xu firmly believes that he will be able to.
First of all, Curry's style of play doesn't consume his ankles much. He doesn't play like Irving, he changes direction and breaks widely, almost touching the ground. Instead, it imitates Guo Xu's kind of running and retreating. Secondly, Curry also used a lot of ankle brace equipment, and tied thick braces to his ankles.
What star doesn't want to find a successful successor? Just like Jordan in the parallel world, he has always said that Kobe Bryant is most like himself, and his personal ability is stronger than James. If Kobe Bryant didn't have five championships and two FMVPs, would Jordan say that?
On Earth One, if a reporter recently said that Kobe Bryant was most like Jordan, or asked Jordan to evaluate Kobe, he would be very angry.
Jordan's thought became: What's so much about this? Do you think Raditz is going to dye his yellow hair to imitate Goku, and he is Super Saiyan Three?
The place to eat is in the hotel restaurant where Guo Xu stays, which is more convenient, if Guo Xu goes out to eat, there will be many people who want to sign and take a group photo, and it is inconvenient for him to bring bodyguards away.
Many reporters were waiting outside the hotel, and they were all excited when they saw Curry coming to the hotel, and even thought of the news outline, so they wrote Guo Xu pointing out the successor and something like that.
After the meal, they did not disappoint the reporters and gave a brief interview in the hotel lobby.
The reporter wanted to know what they were talking about. Guo Xu said: "We mainly talked about the "Kung Fu Panda" movie, and we also made an appointment to go golf together during the holidays, which were all things to play, and we didn't talk about basketball. ”
The reporter asked, "Didn't you teach him how to be a leader?" ”
"I said he's a lot like him, what else can I teach? This is a meal with friends, and I am very optimistic about him, that's all. I'm not a preachy person, you think too much. Guo Xu said with a smile.
Curry looked excited, like he had some cheats, and the reporter asked him.
"Because he promised me to voice a character in Kung Fu Panda 3, it would have been fun," Curry said. ”
“……”
Curry is a very fun-loving person, the movie "Kung Fu Panda 3" has begun to be produced, there will be many pandas in the film, Curry can be paired with a panda with more scenes in addition to the protagonist's father and son. Guo Xu also revealed a little plot to him, which made him very happy, he liked this animated series.
As for basketball, Guo Xu really has nothing to teach.
Curry's shooting will start sooner or later, and the breakthrough technique also has to be practiced, and there are no shortcuts.
And the technology that Guo Xu is good at may not be suitable for Curry. Guo Xu's specialty lies in speed and explosiveness, and Curry is very average in both of these two, and he has to choose the path that suits him.
That night, the Warriors' home court was packed.
As soon as Guo Xu came out, he received warmer applause than the home players.
TNT Radio broadcasts the game live, they choose to broadcast many warriors' games this year, the program team has a close relationship with Guo Xu, and the three commentators are all friends of Guo Xu.
O'Neill began to be a guest on TNT Radio last season, turning TNT into a Deyun Club, and his crosstalk-like commentary was deeply loved by fans.
China's CCTV5 also broadcast live games against the Suns, almost every game, Yi Jianlian returned to the CBA Guangdong team, and no Chinese players played in the NBA. Guo Xu said that he will retire after this season, and fans want to watch his last season.
Suns starters: Guo Xu, Roy, Thompson, Ibaka, Gortat.
Warriors starters: Curry, Redick, Rohr Deng, Landry, Brook Lopez.
If these people are at the top, it's really terrifying, both teams have three All-Stars, and the interior is also very capable of withdrawing.
Landry entered the starting lineup with his excellent performance in the first two games, he was poor, short, and played as a power forward with the size of a small forward, and it was a loss to meet a strong power forward, which is suitable for a person like Ibaka who has no offensive ability with the ball.
Gortat jumped the ball and the game began.
Guo Xu received the ball and dribbled to the three-point line, attracted Curry's main defense, and passed the ball to Roy, who relied on Ibaka to cover the running position without the ball.
Roy drew Rohr Deng on the left and took a pass to Thompson, who slipped to the bottom left corner, and Ibaka helped him block Redick, and the big Lopez didn't switch out.
Thompson received the ball and turned around and made a quick shot to meet Redick for a three-pointer. 3 to 0.
The Warriors attacked, Curry took the ball to the front court and passed to Rohr Deng, who acted as a playmaker in the middle, and both guards began to run, and Landry pulled away.
Serge Ibaka had to keep up with Landry, and he was on target. Lopes helped Redick get rid of the ball cover on the baseline, received a pass from Roldeng, and returned a three-pointer in the bottom right corner. 3 to 3.
Redick is an excellent off-ball attacker, he could only play Kobe Bryant as a substitute before, and when Kobe played small forward, he was mainly a fixed-point pitcher. Now, he's starting to play to his strengths.
The Suns attacked, Guo Xu took the ball to the frontcourt, Curry defended alone, and Guo Xu did not choose to attack.
It's not that he saves face for his successor, but that he participated in the Olympics and film festivals in the summer, and his shooting touch has declined, and it is impossible to throw it away after half the game. He didn't get into range until about a meter outside the three-point line, and he had to practice more in the team in terms of breaking.
The Suns had someone to score, and he passed the ball to Thompson.
Thompson received the ball on the right side without any feints, and forced a three-point shot against Redick. Redick's bounce was not good, his short arm span was poor, and Thompson scored another goal. 6 to 3.
CCTV5 Zhang Reasonable said: "The successor of Guo Xu's other teams is Curry, and the successor in the Suns may be Thompson, this player's shooting is too good, but his physical fitness is a little worse, not so fast." ”
Yu Jia said: "I think Roy is more suitable to succeed Guo Xu, he has comprehensive skills, and his nickname is Orange Mamba. ”
Zhang Li smiled: "Roy is a little better than Kobe, he is very selfless, he doesn't shoot a lot, and his hit rate is higher." ”
Because of the butterfly effect, the two commentators who like to play Kobe the most feel that Kobe is not so good. He has two fewer championships with the Lakers, and even if the statistics are similar to Kobe Bryant in the parallel world, it is difficult to prove strong without personal honors.
