Guo Xu smiled and said, "What else can I do?" Play well. The Bulls are not bad for you to have a chance, and if you don't play well this season, the Bulls may rebuild, and if you lose a lot, the fans will only blame the core and the head coach. If Brand is traded, you could be the boss of the team in the future. You just dunk a few more baskets, shoot a few more three-pointers, and let them see that you're worth developing. ”

"Brand is the top pick, the best rookie of the last season, how can management trade him?" Richardson shook his head with a wry smile. "And he's good, he's strong, and if he's gone, the Bulls are even weaker."

As soon as the two friends heard it, they knew that Richardson had no ambition and was content to be a second-hand leader in the Bulls. If it is in the time loop, Guo Xu will definitely have to complain - "With your character, you are still Jordan's successor?" ”

Brand is indeed stronger than Richardson, although he is only 203CM tall in shoes, he has a terrifying arm span of 223CM.

He has excellent feet in the low post, can play with his back to the singles, and has accurate mid-range jumpers. He is also excellent on the defensive end, not too fast but solid in the game, and with a weight of 115 kilograms, he can resist almost all the interior lines in the league, easily take rebounds and block opponents.

In his rookie season, Brand averaged 20.1 points, 10 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.6 blocks per game, including 4.3 frontcourt rebounds per game, tied for first place in the league with "Big Shark" O'Neal, and a total of 348 frontcourt rebounds for the first place in the league.

Guo Xu took a sip of juice and said lightly: "Don't be presumptuous, Brand's style of play is not good-looking, it can't attract fans, from this alone, I think the Bulls may be able to correct you in the future, and you will definitely have good luck." ”

In Guo Xu's previous life, the Bulls traded Brand to the Clippers in exchange for Tyson Chandler, the 2001 draft pick, and an add-on, which in the eyes of many fans in the future is a psychotic behavior.

But in this era, Brand has no data and no record, and the Bulls management thinks that he is not good at leading the team to win, and just wants to break and stand up, and sure enough, the Clippers stand up.

Of course, the Bulls' 2001 draft pick was very high, and the selection of "Little Shark" Eddie Curry was also a big reason why they sent Brand away. Just by looking at the nickname, you can know how favored Curry is, and the Bulls are still dissatisfied with the group of twin towers?

As long as Richardson doesn't make trouble this season, eighty percent of them will be the core of the team next season, and the two towers on the inside are flawed, and they are not improvised.

Austin smiled and asked, "Jason, the Bulls have a terrible record, why don't you take this opportunity to brush up on the data?" When the data is good, they will pay more attention to you, and you two will compete for the best rookie. ”

Richardson immediately shook his head. "I don't want to be the best rookie anymore, the coaching staff didn't arrange tactics for me, and now the Bulls are fighting chaotically, if I perform very alone, I may offend my teammates and not guarantee the shooting rate. I don't want to be a cancer in the locker room, and Brand's not sure to be gone. ”

The best rookie is the most important honor for rookies, only once in a lifetime, but Richardson has no heart and easily gives up the competition, the first thing to consider is the relationship with his teammates, and his character is perfect for being a second-in-command.

If Guo Xu is in a bad team, he has to throw his life when he plays, no matter what tactics and records he has? Anyway, the team is hopeless.

Of course, if Guo Xu may not play at all in the Bulls, Jamal Crawford, the No. 8 rookie in the previous life, was traded to the Bulls and came off the bench for a season, averaging 4.6 points and 2.3 assists per game. Crawford was traded to the Celtics by the Cavaliers this life, and is currently averaging 9.7 points and 3.4 assists per game.

This proves one thing, it's not that the "Six" was incapable when he first entered the league, but that the Bulls coach didn't score it.

That night, the Lakers won comfortably 113-96.

Guo Xu realized on the court that the reason for the Bulls' poor record was not Brand's lack of ability to lead the team at all, but that Bulls head coach Tim Floyd was too poor. If it weren't for Brand's 21 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks, half time would have gone into garbage time.

The Bulls have no tactics at all, but the point guard's advance speed is still very slow, and they don't launch a fast attack, and they are just a simple block and dismantle in positional battles, and the players take turns to go heads-up. Lakers players only need to be aggressive defensively, and the Bulls will have a hard time creating open shots, which is something that high school players do.

The Bulls' starting point guard, Brace Drew, is 188cm tall and weighs 84 kilograms, and his abilities are average, and he may only be a marginal man on other teams.

The Bulls' backup point guard is this year's fifth rookie in the second round, Kekhalid Al Amin, who is 178cm tall and weighs 91 kilograms, a round guard. As soon as he saw this product, Guo Xu felt that if he didn't shoot a few more three-pointers, he would be embarrassed to greet his teammates after the game.

What surprised Guo Xu the most was that the Bulls had fierce men like Brad Miller on the bench. He has a shooting range and the ability to respond, but Floyd didn't arrange tactics for him at all, a drop-out center was used as a blue-collar player, and the task was to resist people on the defensive end, cut low posts on the offensive end, rush to grab rebounds in the front court, and so on.

Floyd's reused sixth man was Fred Hojberg, a 193CM tall and 92kg shooting guard who didn't break through, didn't organize, and could only catch and shoot. Defensively, he was slower to move laterally and suffered from his size.

Hojberg played for the Pacers for four years and has been on the fringes because of poor defense, averaging 13.4 minutes per game in his most season, and after joining the Bulls, he has improved his playing time to 30 minutes per game and averaged nine points per game this season. For these 9 points, God knows how many points the opposing swing man will score......

Floyd, who looks like an amateur coach who has coached the Bulls since 1998 and had a 26 percent and 20.7 percent win percentages in the previous two seasons, looks ready to take it to the next level this season.

In Guo Xu's previous life, the Bulls management insisted on not firing this waste wood, but sent Brand away, which is incredible.

Jason Richardson played against Rick Fox and finished with just seven points, six rebounds and one assist on 3-of-10 shooting.

Although Fox is not statistically obvious, he is a superb team player, and he can deal with the No. 2, 3, and 4 positions on the defensive end. His speed and athleticism are average, he is a master of small movements and fake falls, and he is very good at using his body to get stuck, and Richardson is miserable.

When Fox came off the court, Richardson was not resolute in beating Ryder, Harper and others, and the weakness of his mentality was undoubtedly revealed.

Artest was defended by Kobe Bryant on 4-of-13 shooting, 0-of-3 three-pointers, and 6-of-6 free throws to finish with 14 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.

Kobe Bryant also did not have an easy time facing Artest's defense, shooting only 8 of 22, 0 of 2 three-pointers, and 6 of 9 free throws, with 22 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists.

O'Neal was caught in the bag and "slashing shark tactics", shooting 5-of-12 from the field and 6-of-14 from the free-throw line, finishing with 16 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists.

Guo Xu was the Lakers' top scorer, playing 34 minutes, shooting 10-of-17, 4-of-9 three-pointers, 2-of-2 free throws, and scoring 26 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists and 1 steal.

In a game, people can clearly see how big the gap is between Richardson and Guo Xu.

The former is just a role player, just as confused as his teammates and not knowing how to win; The latter was responsible for controlling the ball in the second quarter and leading the team's offense, and he could also play a role in the triangle offense.

Mike Miller has no more balls in the Magic than Richardson, as long as Guo Xu misses dozens of games without serious injury, he is sure to win the best rookie!
