Even if Francis goes all out to fight Guo Xu, he is no longer an opponent. When the Lakers played against the Rockets on the court, Guo Xu singled out Francis several times, and it was very easy to break through.

Francis is a tall heavy defender, strong in attack and weak in defense, has a wild way of playing, relies almost entirely on his body, and has a low ball quotient.

On the offensive end, he likes to rely on cover to force his way inside to score, and if he doesn't get into the opposing guard, it's easy to misplace and counterattack.

Defensively, his skills are not solid, mainly relying on physicality and defensive attitude. He is particularly active in helping to defend and switching interior players, sometimes covering up players who are 30cm taller than him, and often being deflated when breaking through with small guards.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Francis's statistics against speed point guards are simply unwatchable, for example, he and Iverson have competed in 14 games, averaging only 17.4 points, 6.3 rebounds and 6 assists per game, while Iverson averages 30.9 points, 3.6 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game.

Van Exel, who was past his prime, had the upper hand against Francis, who faced 17 games in their careers, with the "madman" team averaging 17.5 points, 2.9 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game, while Francis averaged only 16.4 points, 6.2 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game, shooting less than 40%.

Francis's 9-year career led the team to a terrible performance, but he attracted a lot of fans with his style of play, and he was by no means a qualified "boss", he only played in the playoffs once, or in the second year after Yao Ming joined the Rockets, he was eliminated by the Lakers 1-4 in the first round, and the number of career playoff games was fixed at 5 games.

Of all the players in NBA history who have been selected as All-Stars, there is no one who has a worse record than Francis. Miraculously, he started three times in the West.

After Terry came out, Guo Xu changed his defensive methods, began to be close, and did not let people shoot, if Terry broke through with the ball or made a layup, he could relax a little.

Terry is a point guard with average playmaking skills and good shooting skills, and was selected by the Hawks with the 10th pick in the first round in 1999, and was nicknamed "The Jets." He was crushed by Isaiah Ryder last season and only played this year and is expected to win the Most Improved Player award.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Terry was a well-known convulsive player in the league, and it was difficult to be interrupted once the outside line found a touch. He has played for the Hawks, Mavericks and other teams, and has made 2,249 three-point shots in his 18-year career, ranking third in history.

On the offensive end, Guo Xu also made adjustments, and began to frequently block and dismantle in the middle, passing the ball to Martin and Richardson, as for Miller and Jackson, he ignored them, and he was not familiar with them anyway.

Terry is stronger than Francis in defense, he is 188CM tall, weighs 80kg, is fast, and has a strong physical fitness. In Guo Xu's previous life, the 36-year-old Terry was able to perform a flying dunk on the fast break.

Guo Xu then broke through to score three layups, mainly to attract the inside line to change the defense and then split the ball, Martin blocked and dismantled down is very threatening, after he was substituted, Myers who came up was this style again.

The Rookie Challenge was divided into two halves of 20 minutes each, Guo Xu played 15 minutes, made all 8 shots, 2 of 2 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 20 points, 1 rebound, 8 assists and 2 steals.

The first-year team led 59-47.

Guo Xu didn't shoot much, he only shot when he had a good opportunity, he thought about scoring at the beginning, and changed his mind after scoring 14 points, focusing on ensuring efficiency. He's going to be selfless and maybe more highly rated when he plays like that, and he's going to show people his playmaking skills instead of playing like a quarterback.

In the second half, Guo Xu rested, Crawford came off the bench as a point guard, and the first grade became a chaotic battle, who received the ball and who played, and the ball was not running smoothly.

Crawford is a player who can shoot suddenly, but he is not like a point guard at all, and his first choice is always to shoot himself, and his shooting percentage is not high. Second-year backup point guard Andre Miller is playmaking and always gets the ball in the right place.

Szczebiak was the most eye-catching, shooting three-pointers from the outside, showing off offensive skills with the ball in the low post, and singled out Mike Miller many times.

On the offensive end, Quentin Richardson, Crawford, and Myers took turns hitting iron from mid-range and long-range, and only scored when they got into the box. Especially Quentin shot 0 out of 5, and he was very resolute in his shots, and he dared to throw it when he faced people, which made people speechless.

In fact, Quentin has a certain strength, with a height of 198CM and a weight of 100 kg, full of strength and not slow. But his offense with the ball is a tragedy, and it doesn't do much except to reduce efficiency, and he is good at catching and shooting, and he has good outside accuracy.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Quentin helped the team on both offensive and defensive ends of the Suns in the 04-05 season, shooting 39% from three-point range in the playoffs, and winning the three-point title in the star weekend. It's a pity that in order to strengthen the interior line, the Suns sent him to the Knicks in just one season, and after leaving the Suns' run-and-gun system, Quentin embarked on the evil path of attacking with the ball and never played at a level again.

After playing for 7 minutes, the sophomore overtook by 4 points, and coach Ma Lin replaced Guo Xu, Richardson, and Peterson on the outside, and Martin and Jackson on the inside.

The division of labor of these five people is very clear, the offense is the frontal cover and the side cover, Guo Xu suddenly combined with the split to drive his teammates, and soon a wave of 13-4 overtook the score again.

On the defensive end, the first-year performance is not bad, Jackson guards the restricted area, Martin is fast and can change the block and help block.

The highlight scene is that Guo Xu attracted the defensive ball after two breakthroughs, and Martin and Richardson respectively staged empty catches and violent dunks. In the second grade, Brand was good at guarding the penalty area, and it was difficult for him to do it when he got off the court.

Odom is 208CM tall and weighs only 100 kilograms, he is more like a small forward in this era, known for his versatility, known as the defense of five positions, in fact, the defense of the interior is very disadvantageous.

His teammates all had range except for Martin, and Guo Xu reduced his mid- and long-range shots, relying on breakthroughs again and again to tear apart the opponent's defense. The narrator sighed many times that he didn't know that he had broken through so badly.

Peterson, Miller, Richardson, and Martin all receive the ball and shoot, not taking one more step at all, and it is easy to get assists in Guo Xu with this kind of teammate. His style of play is not like "Assassin" Thomas, but a bit like Nash.

This is a habit that Guo Xu unconsciously developed in the Lakers, and the coaching staff needs him to play reasonably and assist in the "OK combination", rather than many heads-up with the ball every game, unless he faces a poor point guard defense, he can shoot endlessly.

Thomas likes to go it alone without cover, shooting just 45.2 percent from the field in his career and even less at 44.1 percent in the playoffs, which is still the premise that he rarely shoots three-pointers.

Nash is the kind of player who pursues reasonableness and efficiency, and his choice of shots is among the best in history, and he will only choose to force his shots to take on the responsibility of leadership when it is crucial. As a result, he achieved the highest overall shooting percentage of any point guard in history, and entered the "180 Club" for several seasons.

Before the game, the media was generally not optimistic about the victory of the first-year team, and many people on the Internet said that the overall quality of this rookie was very poor.

In the second half, he insisted on the style of play of sudden assists to his teammates, only four shots were all hit, three breakaway layups, one broke through Davis and then made a quick stop-and-go shot, and he also broke through Marion on the counterattack and made two free throws.

The first grade defeated the second grade team 115-107 in the final game.

Guo Xu played amazing statistics, 12 of 12 shots, 2 of 2 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, 30 points, 1 rebound, 17 assists and 4 steals.

His assists and shooting percentage both set a record in the history of the rookie game, and he won the MVP without suspense! ()
