Guo Xu looks at the NBA games of this era from the perspective of a reborn person and is always uninspiring, the scene is too ugly, the Lakers only averaged 100.8 points per game last season, and the overall shooting rate was 45.9%, which is not a team with strong offensive power.

Jackson's tactics with the Lakers are extremely dull, preferring to reduce the number of rounds, ensure offensive efficiency, and then stabilize the defense to reduce the opponent's shooting percentage to win, and the opponent averaged only 92.3 points per game last season, shooting 41.6% overall.

Guo Xu sat on the sidelines and watched the several players on the field anxious.

Stadamire is an Iverson-style player who can't move quickly, can't break through with the ball, dribble to his teammates in the front court, be a spectator from beyond the three-point line, and then go to the defensive end and be forced to defend someone who is a head taller than him.

Harper is obviously a head taller than Stoudeyer when he attacks, but he doesn't hold the ball and attack, neither can he pull three points against people, nor can he rely on his physical advantage to play back and pass the ball again and again.

Thinking that many media and basketball "experts" often say that Harper is the perfect championship puzzle, Guo Xu has the urge to spit on their faces, do these people know the meaning of the word "perfect"?

The OK combination is indeed strong, but the flaws of the teammates are obvious, and the depth of the Lakers' roster is far from being comparable to that of their CBA teammates when the Heat and Cavaliers won the championship in their previous lives.

The Lakers stars took turns to play singles, O'Neal had an obvious advantage, and Kobe Bryant struggled a little, only shooting one shot under Pippen's defense, and broke through to make a foul and played 2+1.

After Kobe Bryant scored, Pippen immediately wanted to return one, holding the ball and forcing a breakthrough layup, but the ball was not thrown under Kobe's interference, and he fell to the ground when he landed.

The team doctor came up to check on Pippen and determined that he had sprained his left ankle, and after only seven minutes of play, the Trail Blazers big man was helped back to the locker room by his bench teammates. This year, the 35-year-old Pippen's physical fitness has declined significantly, and he is no longer able to compete.

After two more second-round plays, Smith broke through and caused Bryant's second foul, forcing him to go to rest.

Jackson said to Guo Xu: "Jason, you can play." ”

Guo Xu smiled, with four and a half minutes left in the first quarter, he got his chance earlier than expected. Although he didn't have time to warm up on the sidelines, he was called upon to do so, but he was very good at adjusting his form in the time loop, and that wasn't a problem.

Don't be afraid, just do it! Guo Xu encouraged himself in his heart.

Kobe Bryant is off the court, it is rare to see a player shorter than himself, Guo Xu is ready to hold the ball and play strongly, instead of passing the ball to Harper and Fox on the side, and let them give O'Neal a low drop. At this time, the Trail Blazers will definitely guard against O'Neal, and the pass to him will be targeted by the opponent.

Smith hit both free throws to make it 14-15 and the Lakers trailed by one point.

The baseline ball was sent, Guo Xu controlled the ball, and Stoudmeier pressed near the midfield.

As soon as Guo Xu saw this posture, he knew that the other party didn't take him seriously, and wanted to bully the rookie. He calculated the distance, and a meter outside the three-point line slammed his back against Stoudamayer, almost knocking him down, and then quickly turned to the right and accelerated to the pass.

Stadameyer suffered a big loss, he thought that Guo Xu was young and in the same size, his strength should not be as good as his own, but in fact, the other party was a macho man with a bench press of 84 kg ten times, but he couldn't see it from the image.

Guo Xu took a step to the right side to 70 degrees, and made a three-point jump shot, and Stoudamire was a step slower to chase the block, and the ball had already flown to the basket when he jumped.

Guo Xu threw very resolutely, and the ball drew a perfect arc and hollowed into the net. 17 to 15.

Commentator Horvath shouted: "Jason Guo, the last rookie of the Lakers, hit a three-pointer on the court to help the Lakers overtake the score." ”

"This player has impressed in the NCAA Final Four, Summer League, but he didn't get much playing time in the preseason, and the Lakers have to reuse him after Fisher's injury," Woodson said. Let's see how he defends this round. ”

Stadamire dribbled the ball to the front, Pippen was injured, he also got the ball and wanted to return one.

The data shows that Stadameyer is good at breaking through, whether it is a breakthrough layup or a breakthrough point is very threatening, the shooting is slightly worse, and he basically doesn't shoot if there is someone in front of him outside the three-point line, so Guo Xu maintains a one-and-a-half-step distance with him, lowering the center of gravity to prevent breakthroughs.

In fact, during the Raptors period, when encountering opponents such defenses, Stoudeyer dared to throw them in the middle, and in the 96-97 season, he averaged 6.1 three-point shots per game, hitting 2.2, and a shooting rate of 35.5%. He shot a better three-point percentage in his rookie season at 39.5 percent, averaging 1.9 three-pointers per game.

It's a pity that after joining the Trail Blazers, Stadamyer was completely crooked by coach Mike Dunleavy, who was asked to break through the long interior line with the ball again and again, and try to finish the offense with layups, which is called "The closer you are to the basket, the higher the shooting percentage." ”

Dunleavy doesn't like players to shoot threes, and he was particularly happy to average 13.8 three-point attempts per game for the Trail Blazers in the regular season last season, and he averaged 5.4 three-point attempts per game when he coached the Lakers in the 91-92 season.

Stoudeyer could only resist the desire to shoot and break through with the ball. He has a peculiar pace and can get past a lot of defenders with the first step of changing direction. Guo Xu is also this kind of small fast type, reacts quickly, and blocks the breakthrough route in one step.

Stoudeyer leaned on his back to protect the ball and changed direction to the middle, Guo Xu's footsteps were not chaotic, and he was close to him. Stadamire was reluctant to back down in the face of the rookie, and opted for a difficult turnaround and step-back jumper. He created space for his shot, but it didn't feel good, and the ball bounced out of the frame and O'Neal grabbed the rebound in the backcourt.

O'Neal didn't pass to orthodox point guard Guo Xu, but to Harper, and then made a slow-down gesture at him.

O'Neill could see at a glance that Guo Xu wanted to attack quickly, and he, a fat man, couldn't run along. The tempo slowed down, and Harper dribbled to the front court and passed to Fox on the right.

Fox pretended to drop the ball inside, and suddenly passed to Harper, who ran to the bottom right corner, and Grant in the middle made a no-ball cover for Harper to block Smith.

The veterans cooperated very well, and Harper hit a three-point jumper in the open position. 20 to 15.

Guo Xu was forced to pull away to the left to attract the defense and play a soy sauce.

Why is it called forced? Because he is more accurate on the right side, although he has practiced the left, he is still slightly inferior. This is a common problem for right-handed players, who are not so fast in their movements such as probing and changing direction on the left side.

Guo Xu must give up the position in the bottom right corner, because Harper may still shoot three points in the right bottom corner, and it is a lively place to watch on the left side, when he was young, he could break through to the basket and dunk, but now he can't.

Guo Xu fortunately joined the Lakers, who were plagued by injuries, and his playing time was guaranteed, if he went to a bad team to be a rookie who lacked human rights, and made way for the core and veterans of the team, he was likely to get sick after playing a season.

Being teammates with stars, Guo Xu will also benefit.

In the next round, Stadamire and Davis played blocking and dismantling, getting rid of Guo Xu's fast breakthrough, leaving him with only a back. "Little Flying Squirrel" lived up to his nickname, and it was difficult for opponents to catch up when he rushed, but his layup was slapped out by O'Neal, who was making up for the defense.

As soon as Guo Xu saw the ball flying towards Harper, he immediately turned around and ran at full speed to get rid of Davis. Harper found Guo Xu with a precise long pass, and he received the ball with both hands in front of the free throw line and took two steps to pick up the basket and scored easily.

22-15, Guo Xu's personal fifth point, the score gradually opened.
