Chapter 67 [Low-key Jason Guo]

The Lakers' second opponent was the Kings, and it was another 31-point massacre.

The opponent strictly guarded against long-range shots, and the formation was expanded, Guo Xu reduced his outside shots, focusing on breakthroughs, and scored 23 points, 4 rebounds, 15 assists and 1 steal. And he only played 34 minutes, shooting 8-of-14, 4-of-7 from three-point range, and 3-of-4 from the free-throw line.

This time, Guo Xu played against Bobby Jackson, a point guard with three years of NBA experience, who still had the upper hand and easily exploded. Jackson shot 4-of-13 from the field, 1-of-4 from three-point range, and 2-of-3 from the free-throw line to finish with 11 points and 2 assists.

Jackson, who averaged 5.1 points, 2.1 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 14.2 minutes per game with the Timberwolves last season, had a terrible performance so he played in Summer League to prove himself. But in Guo Xu's previous life, he was not a small role, after joining the Kings, he found his position, won the best sixth man, and averaged 15.2 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game in the peak 2002-03 season.

Before the game began, Guo Xu muttered in his heart, afraid that he would not play well, but he soon found that Jackson was nothing remarkable.

His organizational skills are very poor, and there is only one offensive rhythm that is a combination of singles with the ball, breakthrough or pull-up jumpers, Guo Xu can easily predict his actions, as long as he is not passed, he can interfere with the shot and reduce his shooting rate. To put it bluntly, although he is only 185CM tall, his playing style is a scoring guard.

Jackson is not weak on the defensive end, with a kraft candy-style defense, constantly looking for confrontations close to him. However, if he encounters a slow block, he will not be able to limit Guo Xu, and Guo Xu will not be able to play Jabari Smith, the 16th rookie center in the second round of the Kings, in a misplaced position.

The two are opposed, and everyone can see which is stronger and which is weaker.

Guo Xu is the point guard who drives the team's offense, and he is a super point guard, he twice picked up the backcourt rebound ball and sent a precise long pass to George with one hand, assisting the latter to stage a violent dunk, which attracted the applause of the audience.

After the game, Guo Xu was stopped by an acquaintance.

"Hey Jason, I'm digging for big news again." The blonde-haired Audrey waved the microphone in her hand to say hello, she brought a pair of glasses today, adding a bit of intellectual beauty.

"Nice to meet you, Audrey, how are you doing?" Guo Xu asked with a smile.

Audrey smiled: "Thanks to you, I'm already on TV, and I'll be mainly responsible for covering the NBA next season, as long as you help me make a few more big news, maybe I'll become a star host." ”

"Congratulations, have you started recording?" Guo Xu waved his hand at cameraman Ted.

"yes." Audrey moved a little closer to him, making sure both were on camera.

Facing the camera, Guo Xu suddenly became very serious, and said seriously: "Audrey, I have to tell you bad news, I decided to answer questions in a low-key manner in the future, many people say that I am a thorn, too wronged, I don't want everyone to misunderstand me, say that I am arrogant or something, so I must keep a low profile." ”

"Okay, I'm going to ask now?" Audrey smiled: "You've got two double-doubles in a row, 15+ assists, and you're the best player in Summer League right now, do you feel like your draft pick is too low?" ”

Guo Xu said expressionlessly: "No, after all, the goals I scored were all blinded, and the assists were mostly because of the performance of my teammates, my four good buddies Medvidenko, Pan Persi, George, and Madsen in order to help me brush up on assists, they all took the ball and never attacked with the ball, I am very grateful to them." ”

"......" Audrey covered her face with one hand, crying and laughing.

Ted almost threw the camera on the ground with a smile, is that your low-key? That's!

Audrey coughed and asked, "After the draft, Bob Buss said that you can't get a foothold in the NBA, and joining the Lakers can only be a fringe person and a mascot on the team, how do you feel?" ”

Guo Xu was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "I think it's best to cut out this remake, my boss's name is Jerry Bass, you read it wrong, he won't really dislike me so much, right?" ”

Audrey smiled and bent over, and then said slowly: "I'm talking about Bob Buss, the general manager of the Hornets, and I'm not wrong." ”

Guo Xu pretended to be relieved, patted his chest and said: "It doesn't matter if it's the manager of the Hornets, I guess he also commented on Kobe Bryant in 1996." ”

Audrey's smile was exposed, and she quickly covered it with her hand, and sure enough, it was a wise decision to come to Long Beach to interview Guo Xu, he was too easy to make big news.

Guo Xu is scolding people and not spitting dirty words, making it clear that Bob Buss is a waste, and he is very confident when he takes the Hornets trading Kobe as an example, as if he will also reach the height of an All-Star in the future.

Audrey asked, "Jason, you're a rookie at the end of the NBA, but you've played two games in a row to dominate, do you think you've proven yourself now?" ”

Guo Xu shook his head. "I didn't make it, the level of the summer league was not high."

Audrey followed the topic and asked, "What do you think is a success?" ”

"Help the Lakers defend their title next season and be part of the dynasty next season." Guo Xu's big mouth spoilers up 666.

Audrey heard Guo Xu say this kind of remark in the last interview, and still thinks he is very bold. "You're just a rookie, and you just said you want to keep a low profile, and now you talk about the Lakers dynasty, will you look too confident?"

Guo Xu smiled: "I'm not confident, but I believe in coach Phil Jackson and OK combination. Phil can complete two triple-winning championships with the Bulls, and he will definitely lead the Lakers to build a dynasty, and the strength of the OK combination was obvious to all last season. I don't have any pressure in the new season, I just need to do the work arranged by the coach and not drag the stars back to success. ”

He's a public sycophant, but no one doesn't like to hear it. Who wouldn't want to build a dynasty on the Lakers? Everyone thinks about it, but they haven't said it yet.

Guo Xu dares to say "big words" more than any newcomer, because this is not bragging at all, the Lakers won three consecutive championships without him in his previous life, but isn't he successful without delaying?

The next day, ABC Sports Channel broadcast an interview about Guo Xu, and it was not cut at all. He immediately became popular on the Internet, and was called "low-key Jason Guo" by netizens, "Dynasty Puzzle Jason Guo", "Rookie No. 1 Mengshen" and so on......

Fans like people with a sense of humor, topicality, and entertainment for the masses. In the era when everyone is playing cool and showing toughness, humorous players are rare, and there is only one O'Neal who was originally famous, but now there is finally one more person, and it happens to be the Lakers again.

Bob Buss wanted to vomit blood when he saw the news, and the Hornets fans were all dissatisfied with the trade of Kobe, and Guo Xu's mention of this will lead some people to settle accounts after the fall, and it is inevitable that he will be sprayed.

What's worse is that the Wasp boss also began to look at him unpleasantly, thinking that he did not have the knowledge and tolerance to people.

The Hornets traded second-round picks, and Bob Buss tried out a couple of outside picks, only to end up with no target in the second round. After the free agency market opened, the Hornets signed 34-year-old veteran point guard Jose Hawkins, an experienced veteran who averaged 22.1 points per game at his peak, but his form had long since declined. And the veteran has little effect on the team's reinforcement, so what about finding a young defender to defend Iverson?

Because Bob Bass was full of chewing tongue, the wasps became the laughing stock of the alliance, and it was clear that there was no hatred between the two sides.

Bob Bass did not talk to the media about Guo Xu, and he now knows how strong the other party is.
