Chapter 228 [No Brothers, No Basketball!] 】

After the game, the Lakers celebrated a night in Philadelphia and returned to Los Angeles on a special plane early in the morning.

After a two-day break, the Lakers held a championship parade in Los Angeles in a slightly different format than last time, with a greater focus on interaction with fans, who will have the opportunity to experience the joy of the Lakers' championship up close.

The parade route is from Stamp Center to USC Coliseum and is about 2 miles. All Lakers players will greet the fans on the parade floats, and the cheerleaders and staff will follow them on a double-decker open-air bus.

More fans came to the parade than last year, and millions of people in yellow jerseys appeared on the streets of the city, cheering and celebrating.

The first two championships of the 21st century were won by the Lakers, will the third be far away? Everyone was looking forward to them to establish a dynasty.

Winning all the playoffs and crushing opponents every game, the Lakers brought fans more shock than the 33-game winning streak that year, and the gold content of winning in the regular season and the playoffs is different.

Guo Xu, Kobe Bryant, and O'Neal were in the first car, enjoying the cheers and popularity of the whole city, and they have become city heroes!

The parade was followed by a commendation ceremony at the USC Football Stadium, where a makeshift stage was set up in the playground with a capacity of 90,000 fans. Coaches and players have to take the stage to share their thoughts and interact with the fans in attendance.

During the speech, Guo Xu ranked third from the bottom.

Mitchell Thompson, a retired star in the league and now a commentator for the Lakers, shouted passionately: "The next one to play is one of the Lakers' Big Three, the three-point king of the year, the best rookie, and the winner of the best sixth man - Jason Guo!" ”

The fans applauded and cheered together, and Guo Xu walked up to the stage and waved to the fans around him, much more excited than when he won the championship in Philadelphia. He has never been so glorious in two lives, and he feels that life is too worthwhile. It's a memory that can be cherished for a lifetime, and it can't be bought with money.

Thompson smiled and asked: "Jason, now many fans say that you are the Iverson Finisher, but many people used to say that you are a defensive black hole, what do you think of this change?" ”

Guo Xu took the microphone and thought for a moment, smiled, and said loudly: "I never mind that others say that I am a defensive black hole, I am just afraid that I will not be able to help the team on the offensive end." In my opinion, offense is the best defense, and the Lakers are the team that wins by offense! ”

The fans applauded warmly, he said it domineeringly, go to the special defense to win the championship, who likes to watch the defense?!

Guo Xu's words can also be understood that even if he can't defend against Iverson, he still kills the 76ers by attacking.

In his previous life, Tyrone Lue was famous for blowing defense, and no one would think that he and Iverson were the same level of stars, because his stats were completely blown up. Guo Xu is different, his offensive statistics are better than Iverson's, his shooting percentage and efficiency are complete, so why mention defense?

Thompson asked, "So do you feel like you're ahead of Iverson?" ”

This is a question that many fans are concerned about, and beyond it, Guo Xu is the league's No. 1 point guard, how loud this name is.

"I'll still say that and let others judge. What makes me happiest after winning the championship is not who I surpassed, but how well I and my teammates cooperate. ”

Guo Xu paused for a moment and said loudly in his British accent: "There is only 'us' here, there is no 'me', and everyone of us present has gained enough confidence here." Whenever I play and everyone puts their hands together, the most important thing I want to say is: 'Come on, brothers, 123'! The Lakers are the best team, no brothers, no basketball! ”

Guo Xu said Adidas's classic advertising slogans in the future, which are easy to move people's hearts and are thought-provoking.

Everyone applauded vigorously, and the atmosphere reached the peak of today.

"Zen Master" Phil Jackson and Jenny Bass both glanced at each other, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

This kid often bursts golden sentences! Eloquence is too good, isn't it?

When Kobe Bryant and O'Neal spoke again, the atmosphere was not so enthusiastic. The conversation between them revolved around defending their title next year and assuring fans of a dynasty.

On the same day, all major media began to write articles around what Guo Xu said, and he made a big splash in this parade, and received far more attention than Kobe Bryant and chased O'Neal. There are more and more people who think that he has become the second leader of the Lakers, and his statistics are better than Kobe Bryant in this playoffs.

Guo Xu's popularity has reached an astonishing level, and judging from online evaluations, he has surpassed Iverson. He's sure to be a starter in next season's All-Star Game, and even if Kidd isn't traded by the Suns to the Nets, he won't be able to compete with him.

Not only in North America, Guo Xu has a super high reputation all over the world, especially in China, everyone knows that there is a mixed-race person in the NBA who is super strong and has an interesting personality, and Chinese fans will definitely vote for him next season.

Previously, some people on the Internet have been saying that Guo Xu hugged his thighs, Lakers stars hugged and the like, but now it has become tall and noble in another way.

We're not a huddle, we're brothers!

Someone on the Internet immediately interpreted Guo Xu's words and regarded them as the truth. Basketball is a five-person sport, because the number of people is small, so every position on the court is very important, everyone's ability and role are critical, and five people must be united like brothers and have the same heart to win the game, so no brothers, no basketball!

A lot of people like to flaunt their personal heroism, but Iverson didn't get up this year. When the 76ers broke through in the East, it can be said that he never gave up the spirit, 3 or 40 points behind in the finals, the opponent's main force went down to rest, and he continued to play on the court, this is never giving up?

As long as the teams that have won the championship in the NBA over the years are listed, BA has always been dominated by "reasonable basketball", and the so-called "personal heroism" is just the helplessness of talented but unlucky!

Take a look back at history and see what kind of existence "individual heroism" really exists.

"The Great" Chamberlain is probably the ultimate of all individual heroes, and the hero who is talked about by fans almost went without a title in his life in front of the reasonable "Lord of the Rings" Russell.

Jordan was far superior to his rivals in the early days, winning the scoring title and being abused as soon as he entered the playoffs, and he didn't start dominating the league until he was 28 years old, when he had more than one excellent partner.

Needless to say, the Pistons, the Rockets, and the Spurs are the ultimate in reasonable team basketball.

This year, the big stars Carter, Maddy, and Iverson in the East can take turns to score high points in the regular season, but in fact, everyone knows very well that no matter what statistics they play, the Lakers in the playoffs must be killed by a brick.

Why? There is a clear gap in the overall strength of the team, and the only star of the team will die even worse if he doesn't brush the points, but do you really think this is the mode of play they are pursuing? If you ask them if they'd like to be teammates with O'Neal, they'll say yes. Do you think Iverson will say I'm going to be the boss and never partner with a superstar?

To put it bluntly, in the NBA, individual heroism can basically be equated with "elimination", and the real strong teams are all precision-running tactical machines, even if there is no superstar partner, second-rate stars who can score are indispensable.

As for the team advocated by many pseudo-fans, it is all grassroots, hot-blooded basketball, iron-blooded basketball...... Hehe.
