The difference between the two sides gradually widened, the Lakers' Big Three's offense was unstoppable, and the Wizards' offense was limited. At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led 38-23.

Comparing the starting five positions of the two teams, the Wizards only have the advantage of Bradley Beal at the No. 2 position, and the cooperation of the Wizards players is not as good as the Lakers' tacit understanding, and the coach doesn't know how they can win.

In the core contest between the two sides, Guo Xu has the upper hand in an all-round way.

Wall can shoot from a medium and long distance, and if he chooses to break through, he will be targeted, and it is difficult for him to get rid of Guo Xu whether he relies on technique or body. And Wall, who can't break through, can't play seventy percent of his strength.

Center Nurkic has been an eye-catcher on the offensive end this season, averaging 15.5 points and 11 rebounds per game and could be selected for the All-Star Game. Today, he faced Adams and did not go into the penalty area alone, and after pulling out to cover, he couldn't make an accurate shot, and his efficiency was reduced.

The Wizards' habitual routine is to combine inside and outside, win by offense, and have four main points of attack, and today there are only two left. Beal and Love are relatively easy to score, and both have the ability to play with the ball and inside and out.

The Lakers blossomed more on the side, Guo Xu scored 5 points and 12 assists in a single quarter, and kept assisting his teammates.

Adams made 5-of-5 shooting and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line to finish with 12 points and five rebounds; Horford finished with 10 points and three rebounds on 5-of-6 shooting.

Looking at the data, the Lakers completely blew up the Wizards inside, and at this time, the Wizards manager watched live TV and suspected that the summer trade was lost.

After the introduction of Nurkic, the Wizards' interior attack power has indeed improved a lot, but the Bosnia-Herzegovina center is obviously not suitable for partnering with Lefou, and both of them have slow lateral speed. Last season, the Lakers' No. 4 player was able to defend and dismantle, but Nurkic was flawed defensively.

If you want to compete for the championship, you can't let the team have obvious weaknesses, and in the playoffs, because the center position defense was not good enough, the Lakers lost three games to the Warriors, and finally advanced by offense.

The inside line is not good at blocking and dismantling, which is a fatal weakness in the small-ball era. Data is only one aspect of a player's ability, and adapting to the system is the key to winning.

Earth One's Lefu is very unlucky, his popularity continues to decline, and he always takes the blame for the loss. In the parallel world he mixed a lot better, and many people liked him and felt that he was the plus-size Paul Walker. Here, Walker is still alive, and people only say that Lefu is a defensive black hole.

In fact, he has a very high ball quotient and all-round ability, but in the small-ball era he encountered problems and could not balance offense and defense. After losing weight, he is still a defensive black hole and often becomes the target of opposing defenders.

Today, Lefu has no way to break through Guo Xu after being misplaced, and he is also helpless against Durant's change of direction and dry pull-out jumper, and even Booker can take advantage of Lefou. For Love, there is only one way he can help the team, to put out more firepower on the offensive end and make up for the lack of defense on the defensive end.

In short, the Wizards' two interior starters could only shrink near the restricted area to defend, which was tragic.

In the second quarter, the Lakers sent a full bench led by Wade, and the Wizards coach brought Wall back after a four-minute break in the first quarter to bring the bench, and after five minutes, the Wizards narrowed the gap to just five points.

Wall had the complete upper hand against Felton, and he and Sun-poached center Marcin Gortat always created chances and ensured offensive firepower by blocking and pick-and-roll.

Tyrone Lue made a mistake in the use of personnel, and sent the "Death Five", and did not use the young player Zubac to guard the penalty area. Gortat relied on his height advantage to beat Harrell three times in a row before Tyrone Lue let Zubac play.

Gortat also had an advantage over Zubac, and Guo Xu returned to the court to suppress the Wizards' counterattack momentum.

He also knows Gortat very well, this is his little brother in the Suns back then. He knows how to play and make Gortat uncomfortable, and the Wizards players can't prevent the breakthrough without a clamp.

Guo Xu played 7 minutes in this quarter, scored 7 points and 5 assists, and had a double-double of 12 points and 17 assists in the half.

In the second half, Durant began to exert his power, catching the ball and scoring several consecutive goals in the counterattack, and the Lakers widened the gap to 24 points in one go. Guo Xu was the one responsible for launching the counterattack, with 9 assists in a single quarter, 6 of which were given to Durant.

He had 19 points and 26 assists in the third quarter, and he was about to score 30+ assists in a single game for the second time in his career.

Tyrone Lue made a decisive late draw on the bench, with even veteran Jason Terry playing as a two-guard alongside Felton. This is a deliberate attempt to leave a weak point for the opponent to attack and release water reasonably.

After four minutes, the gap was reduced to 11 points, and the Lakers' Big Three had another reason to play together.

As long as the former Thunder Er is by his side, Guo Xu will not worry about not being able to brush assists, and both of them are the type who are good at catching the ball and shooting. In particular, Durant can face interior players, and he can't cover it without his height.

Guo Xu played 6 minutes, easily cut down 2 points and 6 assists, and scored 21 points, 3 rebounds, 32 assists and 2 steals in the game. His goal was to brush up on 30+ assists, barely shooting, and only scoring a counter-attacking layup.

The Lakers led by 18 points, and there were only 2 minutes left in the game. The Wizards replaced all the main players first, and Tyrone Lue followed up to replace all three of them.

Only Guo Xu enjoyed the cheers of the fans, and the home fans shouted "MVP" together, and among the active players, this kind of super double-double data is only he can play.

Durant is very envious, which is why many people resented him joining the Lakers in the first place. When there is already a superstar in the team, his star will be overshadowed by Guo Xu.

In fact, Durant is also an MVP-level star, but under Guo Xu's butterfly effect, he failed to win the regular season MVP in the Thunder, only the scoring champion. In the parallel world, Durant, who joined the Warriors, also won the FMVP twice, and his play was always more stable than Curry. Joining the Lakers, it is almost impossible for him to succeed in grabbing the MVP with Guo Xu, Guo Xu is more stable than him.

Kenny Smith commented: "Jason has had a superstar teammate this season and has played less minutes and only occasionally played more than 35 minutes. If he plays a little bit more, I think he will be the leading scorer and the leading assist this year. ”

Barkley shook his head and said: "I think as long as he takes more shots, he will win two top spots in 32 minutes." It's hard for other teams to beat the Lakers, mainly because he can step up when it counts. He played whatever the team needed him, like against the Spurs. ”

At the press conference, Guo Xu said that he had no special thoughts about 30+ assists. "I've scored 107 points, is it weird to have 32 assists? Not to mention that my teammates are so tough. ”

Guo Xu paused for a moment and smiled: "If I focus on passing the ball in every game, and my teammates have a super ability to seize opportunities, I think it is not impossible to challenge an average of 20+ assists per game." ”

The reporter asked: "Will you try to do that in a future season?" ”

"Never, last season I brushed the scoring stats and my team-mates sacrificed the ball. If I focus on a certain statistic, it's a bad thing for the team, the ball is always in my own hands, and it doesn't work so smoothly. The overall strength of our usual style of play will be stronger. If you want to win all seasons, you have to play as a team. ”

The reporter asked: "You have won 51 in a row, are you confident that you will win all the regular seasons?" ”

"It's not a question of confidence or disbelief, everybody knows that the Lakers are the strongest, and what we have to do is try to be as consistent as possible and not have any surprises. Thankfully, we have a lot of points, people who are not in good form shoot less, people who are in good form play more, and we can keep up our good form. ”

Wall was very helpless in the interview, admitting that there was a big gap between himself and Guo Xu.

He vowed to use his vacation time to practice shooting after the season. After playing against the Lakers, his biggest feeling was that he could become a superstar if he could shoot consistently.
