In Guo Xu's previous life, in 2003, he published a famous book called "Magic Ball Theory", and after that, all teams in the NBA increased their shots outside the three-point line.

Does it make sense that a team that shoots 35% from three-point range can outperform a team that shoots 50% from mid-range range?

The answer is that there is some truth, but 35% of the three-pointers are not casually shot, and this also involves a number of indicators such as the rebounding rate in the front court, the success rate of making fouls, etc., it is definitely not just a three-point shot, but the same emphasis must be placed on inside scoring.

The essence of the magic ball theory is the three-point shot, which does not exclude scoring under the basket, but excludes two points from a distance. There is no doubt that for players, it is easier for players to brush up on the stats of those who are good at shooting threes than those who are good at scoring twos!

Guo Xu's first choice to block and dismantle was not to break through, but to shoot, he moved sideways and saw that the opponent withdrew, and immediately stepped back to the right side to shoot a 70-degree jumper for three points. Ostertag certainly won't pounce on the perimeter to defend the defender, it was an open shot.

Guo Xu didn't shoot in the last quarter, he was very well prepared, and the ball went into the net. 19 to 27.

When returning to the defense, Guo Xu and O'Neill smiled and clapped their hands, O'Neill has no data, but he has the credit for the goal.

Horvath exclaimed, "Pretty! Jason Guo returned a three-pointer, and he made good use of O'Neal's cover. ”

Woodson sighed: "It seems that his play on the court is not accidental, he is a person who dares to take responsibility for the offense, and he has the strength, and O'Neal is willing to cover him." ”

The Jazz attacked, Lewis received a pass from Vaughn on the weak side, forced a layup, caused a foul on Ryder, and hit both free throws. 19 to 29.

When serving the baseline ball, George made a stupid mistake, the force was too small, and Marshall was directly stealed, he hurriedly rushed into the bounds to foul Marshall who was about to make a layup, and the referee took care of the home team and did not give Marshall a free throw opportunity, but the ball belonged to the Jazz again.

Guo Xu was a little speechless. George belongs to the kind of person who performs very well in training, and when he arrives at the official competition, he can't show his full strength, and his mental quality is very poor.

O'Neill stared at George a few times, because it was during the game that he couldn't help but scold him.

The throw-in was sent out, Marshall singled Grant for a pull-up jump shot that went wide, and George got the rebound.

In the Lakers positional battle, Guo Xu and O'Neal played blocking and dismantling in the middle, got rid of Vaughn and broke into the three-point line, and the person who changed the defense was Marshall.

WITH A HEIGHT OF 206CM AND A WEIGHT OF ONLY 99 KILOGRAMS, MARSHALL IS A FAST-MOVING SWINGMAN IN THE 3 AND 4 POSITIONS, AND DOES A GOOD JOB OF SWITCHING GUARDS. Guo Xu caught a glimpse of O'Neal cutting in the air and passed the ball to the middle.

O'Neal rushed unstoppable, Marshall turned back to defend too late, Ostertag let go of Grant's defense and hugged O'Neal, the referee blew the whistle and made two free throws.

The Lakers made substitutions, and Kobe, who had only rested for less than two minutes, replaced Grant. Jackson's change is aimed at the Jazz lineup. George is on top of the No. 4 position on the defensive end against Marshall does not suffer, and when Marshall goes to defend and dismantle when attacking, he can pass to George and directly pull out Ostertag.

The Jazz also adjusted, with Stockton and David Bennaught on and Russell and Vaughn down. On the defensive end, Vaughn was too slow to meet Sloan's requirements, and his playmaking skills were too ordinary.

O'Neal missed both free throws and gave the ball to the Jazz.

His power allowed him to dominate the basket and be unbeatable, but it also brought him drawbacks, that is, he didn't shoot softly and made very poor free throws.

In the Jazz positional battle, Stuckerton passed the ball to Bennott, who just came on the court and received the ball and jumped, which was blocked by the chasing Kobe, O'Neal picked up the ball and found that Guo Xu had gone down quickly and yelled to reach out for the ball.

Guo Xu beat Stockton in the game, O'Neal didn't care about tactics at a glance, and teleported to the front court with one hand, Guo Xu turned his head and received a fast pass with both hands during the run, took a big step forward to adjust the center of gravity, jumped with both feet, and picked up the basketball with one hand.

21 to 29, Guo Xu's personal 5th point.

Horvath commented: "Jason is really not simple, this kind of long pass is not easy to catch, and if you are not careful, you will make a mistake. ”

Woodson laughed: "He's playing smart, 38-year-old Stockton can't outrun him, and the Jazz don't have a fast point guard, which is a weakness." ”

Jazz offense, Stockton was entangled by Guo Xu and it was not easy to break through, his state had already begun to decline, mainly relying on shots and assists to help the team.

Lewis relied on Ostertag to cover the off-ball run, catch-and-shoot a three-pointer, and this time Ryder caught up with the successful interference, the ball deflected off the basket, and the rebound was grabbed by O'Neal.

In the Lakers positional battle, Guo Xu dribbled to the frontcourt, O'Neal pulled to stand near the free throw line, and it was Ostertag who was the main defense. Sloan didn't dare to let the big center defend George, it was a clear misalignment.

Guo Xu took a step before the three-point line in the middle, glanced at Kobe Bryant who wanted the ball on the right side, and suddenly pulled it up to a three-pointer. Even though Stockton was experienced, he didn't react, he didn't jump, he just stretched out his hand.

In the NBA, newcomers are generally cautious when they play, for fear that they will annoy the coach if they don't play according to tactics, and when the "OK combination" is present, Stockton predicts that Guo Xu will definitely pass the ball, but the opponent unexpectedly released a cold arrow.

The curvature of the ball is perfect, hollow into the net! 24 to 29, Guo Xu's personal 8th point.

When Guo Xu returned to defense, he raised his fist high, and the fans applauded together, and the difference between the two sides narrowed closely.

Kobe Bryant looked at Guo Xu with mixed emotions.

He was also like this back then, when the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and dared to shoot when he had the opportunity, including throwing three non-sticks and missing the killer ball. He clearly felt that Guo Xu and himself belonged to the same kind of people, he was very low, but he was very confident, this kind of person was easy to succeed.

Guo Xu can help the team, and he can also share the right to get out of the hand. Since entering the league, Kobe has been depressed that he has too little ball, last season he finally averaged 20+ points per game, if he doesn't shoot much this season, how can he get super data?

Kobe Bryant is not unfounded, in Guo Xu's previous life, he averaged 40.9 minutes per game in the 00-01 season, took 22.2 more shots than O'Neal, and scored 28.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.7 steals, and his statistics soared. He broke out because the team's No. 1 position was plagued by injuries and the team lacked a third scoring point, and now that there is an extra Guo Xu, it is impossible for him to explode.

O'Neill doesn't care, he won all his individual accolades last season and is happy to give away penalties.

The Jazz attacked, Stockton dribbled to the frontcourt, let his teammates pull away, and singled out Guo Xu with the ball to return one.

Sloan asked Stockton to take a break before playing, hoping that he would use his experience to suppress his opponent. Guo Xu fought two in a row, and if he didn't fight back, he would become a stepping stone for newcomers to take the position.

Stockton dribbled the ball into the three-point line, dribbled to the left with consecutive hips, and dribbled behind his back to his right hand to take a step-back jumper. His movements were not fast, the technical connection was perfect, Guo Xu was not shaken away, and jumped up to seal his eyes to defend.

Stockton has played in the league for too many years, and he can find the basket with his rhythm and score the ball. 24 to 31.

The Lakers attacked, Guo Xu just took half the court, and Kobe Bryant reached out on the right side to ask for the ball.

If I don't pass on this look, he'll be in a hurry? Guo Xu had no choice but to pass the ball to Kobe, leaving the other side to play and not receiving the ball, and followed Ryder who ran back to hurt himself.

Kobe Bryant dribbled one step on the right to meet Bennott and hit a three-point shot.

27-31, Guo Xu's second assist, Kobe Bryant also began to exert his power.
