Chapter 589 [Do You Still Need to Watch It?] Every night is a win]
In the match played on the same day, there were two upsets.
The 76ers played an overtime game at home, losing 112-120 to the Bucks.
TJ Ford shot 6-of-13 from the field and 8-of-9 from the free-throw line to finish with 20 points, 9 rebounds and 14 assists. As a skinny guard, he grabbed a career-high 9 rebounds in a single game and almost scored a triple-double, which was a big surprise.
Iverson played 50 minutes, shooting 11-of-28, 2-of-4 from three-point range and 11-of-15 from the free-throw line, finishing with 35 points, two rebounds and nine assists while shooting just 39.3 percent from the field.
Six players on the Bucks team scored in double figures, while the 76ers had only four.
In the summer, the 76ers' lineup was recognized as strong, with excellent players at all positions, but the players who played the game couldn't connect at all, so they relied on Iverson and Webb to score, and others opened up and waited for opportunities to catch the ball, and the counterattack was not sharp.
Rookie forward Danny Granger didn't play a minute.
Head coach Maurice Cheeks is also a dead-end coach, he rotates Korver, Iguodala and Salmons in the two positions of the swingman, Granger can only watch the excitement, and it is useless for him to have a strong body and physical fitness.
Guo Xu read the news and wrote Granger's name in the important memo notepad.
The Suns can consider poaching Granger in the future, which is a super potential stock that is difficult to play at the level of the 76ers, even if Iverson is gone, the 76ers will choose to correct Iguodala, who is more physical, and it will be difficult for Granger to get the ball.
The bigger upset was the Kings' 74-91 loss to the rebuilding Hornets, who were bottom of the league last season.
Weaker than Guo Xu in his previous life, the Hornets did not draft forward David West, and they still won.
Point guard Chris Paul played 34 minutes in his debut, shooting 6-of-11, 1-of-3 from three-point range, and 6-of-6 from the free-throw line, scoring 19 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals. Mike Bibby, who was opposite him, shot 3-of-11, 1-of-2 three-pointers, and 1-of-1 free throws to finish with just eight points, four rebounds and four assists.
As soon as he entered the league, Paul impressed on both ends of the floor.
The Kings' new leader Peja Stojakovic had a terrible performance, shooting just 5-of-14, 2-of-7 from three-point range and 6-of-6 from the free-throw line for 18 points and four rebounds while shooting just 35.7 percent from the field.
Hornets forward Desmond Mason single-handedly limited Peja, didn't need teammates to help defend the bag, dunked Sanwang Sanwang is physically strong, very mobile, and able to entangle opponents.
In the summer, the Kings brought in Raheem and Bunch Wells, and many pundits believe that they can fight even if they can't beat the Suns, but the No. 1 position suffers.
As a result, in the first game, the Kings slapped the experts in the face with their performance, and only three of the team scored double-doubles.
The next day, the major media were praising the Suns, and they were the best team again.
The "black pots" are all depressed, why is it so difficult to see Guo Xu's liveliness? Those who make tirades on the Internet and in reality have become a laughing stock, and can only hope that the sun will soon be over, and then they will not win.
After watching the news, Xiao Si and Nei were a little uncomfortable, they were worried that the Suns would not be able to win the championship this season, but they didn't want to have no impact after their absence, which was too exciting, as if they were not important in the team.
Nene is the most depressed, he did not accept an early contract extension, or a contract year, so if he continues next summer, will any team be willing to give him a big contract?
A lot of fans online discuss this game.
"Jason Guo can lead ordinary teammates to beat the Mavericks, he seems to have potential to tap, where is the limit?"
"What do those who hate Jason say? Hugging Marion's thighs, Howard is actually underrated? Are Bale and Haslem underrated as non-draft picks in the NBA? They also don't want to wonder why all the undervalued people are gathered in the sun. Could it be that there is someone in the Suns management who knows who has the potential and will definitely be able to play? (The truth)
"Do you still need to watch the Suns' game? Every night is a win. ”
"The next game is Lakers vs Suns, and the Lakers' home opener won't be another fiasco, right? It's a bit of a. ”
The league arranged the Suns' home opener against the Lakers last season, and this time the two teams faced each other early, which was full of gimmicks.
Even though there was a big gap in results last season, there are still many people who compare Guo Xu and Kobe Bryant, because they were teammates when they were Lakers, and Kobe Bryant is still recognized as the person who plays most like Jordan.
Champion Bogut didn't take many of the league's insiders in his eyes in an interview in the summer, and he didn't look down on Guo Xu very much. When the reporter mentioned Guo Xu, Bogut refused to comment, as if he thought that being the core of the inside line was the king of winning.
Now many people also want to see how Bogut will play in the face of Guo Xu.
In fact, this is to be expected, Bogut must be a blue-collar worker, what else can he play?
In terms of physical talent in the previous life, Bynum, who was selected by the Lakers with the tenth pick, was not inferior to Bogut, and Kwame Brown, the top pick in 2001, was not worse than Bogut, and they were blue-collar workers in the Lakers.
Bogut was lucky, because the Lakers didn't have Chris Meme, and he would have played a little more than Brown.
On the evening of November 2, the Lakers made their debut, defeating the Nuggets 107-95 on the road.
Bryant performed bravely, shooting 13-of-28, 0-of-1 from three-point range, and 7-of-7 from the free-throw line, scoring 33 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, beating Nuggets quarterback Woshan Leonard.
Bogut played 28 minutes, shooting 3-of-6 from the field and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, finishing with 8 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks. Odom's performance was very sluggish, with 8 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists on 2-of-10 shooting, 0-of-3 three-pointers, and 4-of-5 free throws. Caron Butler finished with 20 points, five rebounds and four assists on 8-of-12 shooting, 3-of-7 three-pointers and 1-of-2 free throws.
Smush Parker and Devin George also scored in double figures, and the Lakers finally showed signs of rising.
At the press conference, the reporter asked Kobe to evaluate the Suns, because the Lakers lost very badly against the Suns last season, setting a record for the team's all-time point difference.
Kobe Bryant got angry when he heard it and sprayed his former teammates. "yes, we lost badly, but we had the worst interior in the league, and we had the worst center in the history of the league."
The reporter asked: "Do you mean Hasheng Town?" ”
"Who? I can't remember the man's name, he doesn't have an English name, he doesn't have any strength, but he can fight, he shouldn't play in the NBA. ”
"What about Divac?"
'Did he play last season? It's only 10 games. ”
In Guo Xu's previous life, Divac also worked as an assistant coach of the Lakers after retiring, looking at Kobe's current attitude, Divac probably will not think of the Lakers as an assistant coach.
The new season has begun, and Kobe Bryant is still obsessed with the Lakers' lineup last season, especially against Hasheng Town. He also sighed: "It was really a difficult day, it was really difficult. ”
In his previous life, Kobe Bryant also sprayed Smush Parker like this. Anyway, it's not his problem to lose, it's his team-mates who are terrible, and he has to make everyone understand that.
The reporter asked Kobe Bryant to predict the outcome of the two teams in the next game.
"We're done with the run-in, this season isn't as bad as last year, and I'm confident we can beat the Suns," Bryant said. Of course, we have to defend against Jason. ”
The implication is that if the Lakers don't win tomorrow, they won't defend Guo Xu well, and their teammates' defense is too bad.
Bryant still can't look down on Parker, even though Parker averaged 10 points per game last season and was solid on the dribble past half court.
Kobe Bryant thinks Parker is very bad, he shouldn't play in the NBA, there is no better person at the moment, he won't spray for the time being, let him go, and talk about it later......
