On the 8th, the Lakers defeated the Jazz 91-75 back-to-back, and Guo Xu abused the veteran Stockton again, scoring 30+ points in three consecutive games.

He played 36 minutes, shooting 12-of-18, 2-of-6 three-pointers, and 6-of-6 free throws, and finished with 32 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. Stockton also played 36 minutes, shooting 2-of-7, 0-of-2 from three-point range and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, finishing with just six points, two rebounds and nine assists.

Guo Xu's three-point shooting rate was not high, but he scored many times in singles with the ball, and twice he misplaced the attack after blocking and dismantling, and broke through the high board and threw the shot, all of which were rarely used before.

He's now close to shooting without a dead end, as long as he finds his rhythm, his shots are fast and accurate.

He watched some of Isaiah Thomas's game footage during the time loop, imitating the "smiling assassin" style of play, and the distance sense of breaking through the pull-up jump shot was good, making it difficult for Jazz players to help defend.

This time, Guo Xu rarely broke into the basket to divide the ball, because he was afraid of Karl Malone's big elbow. This product's iron elbow is famous, and many big-name figures have suffered it, and there are also some juniors who don't know the depth of the tiger beard that annoyed him and paid a painful price.

In the previous life, the NBA selected the top ten injuries in the history of the game, and Malone was on the list three times, all of which were intentional fouls, while the other malicious fouls were only Artest and Ariza once, Guo Xu didn't want to take risks in the regular season to play Jazz.

In the second game of the regular season, Guo Xu once shot a killer shot under the defense of Stockton, and later many people cited various examples, focusing on the age, defensive ability and organizational ability of the two, proving that they are not a level of point guards at all, Guo Xu is far behind.

As a result, I can't see the data of Stockton's explosion today, and the fans of the past and the present are dumbfounded, and they are all hidden on the Internet, and this place is a little difficult to wash.

In fact, Stockton was afraid of playing against a speed-type guard who could hold the ball alone, and Guo Xu restrained him. Even at his peak, Stockton was often beaten up against the "Assassins" Thomas and Kevin Johnson, and they couldn't compare with the "Magic".

His scoring statistics are average, his offensive ability with the ball is average, and his play mainly relies on assists to his teammates, averaging 17.2 points, 14.5 assists and 2.7 steals per game in his peak season.

The footage that Guo Xu studied included a game between Thomas and the Jazz in 1991. In that game, Thomas scored 44 points, and every time he played against Stockton, he opened up a single and scored several shots.

Thomas is so faceless because he was not selected for the American Dream team.

In 1991, when coach Chuck Daley selected members of the Dream First Team, Jordan and others advocated the rejection of Thomas, and the selection committee once wanted to recruit two-way guard Joe Dumas to replace him. But Dumas was very righteous, he said that the team boss Thomas would not go, and he would be weak as the second child, so he gave up the call of the dream team, and the spot eventually fell to Stockton.

When the Pistons were visiting Salt Lake City, Mallon, who had been holding back his strength to avenge Stockton, came up and smashed Thomas on the head with an elbow. Thomas was bleeding profusely, fainted on the spot, and only woke up after a long time of resuscitation, and afterwards had 40 stitches on his head.

Malone's approach made Stockton a little weak against Thomas after that, and Thomas suffered frequent injuries since this season, retiring in '94, and like "Magic" Johnson, he only played a total of 13 seasons in the NBA.

Coupled with Jordan's retirement in '93 and the scarcity of NBA outside stars in '94 and '95, Stockton scored twice. At that time, second-year rookies Sprewell and Anfernee Hardaway were both selected once, and when Jordan returned, there was nothing to do with Stockton.

Miraculously, after 2010, there were many fans on the Internet who praised Ma Long, saying that his courage and daring spirit of sticking a knife in the ribs for his friends are commendable.

So the question is, Ma Long's behavior of showing elbows if he can't beat is called defense? Do they think that the NBA is only good to watch when the game is so fierce that the stars are killed until they are seriously injured and absent as soon as the stars soar points?

To be honest, Ma Long's behavior on the court is too inferior, and he has never faced people one-on-one, and he has always attacked with elbows. After hurting people with a dark elbow, he will narcissistically stroke his biceps and say: "Of course, this is how the car collides with the big truck."

The character and ball of this product can't be washed at all, and having no crown in a lifetime is like proving that "people are doing it, and the sky is watching".

Ahmad Rashard, a prominent supporter who witnessed Jordan's career, once said, "There are three categories of NBA superstars. First, fans and media think he is very good, but the players don't think so, such as Stockton; In the second category, the fans don't think so, but the players respect him very much, such as Pippen; The third category is respected by fans, media, and players, such as Magic, Jordan and Bird. ”

There is some truth in the expert's words, Stockton was selected with the 16th pick, played as a substitute for Green in the first two seasons, and at one point did not dare to spend money because he was afraid that he would lose his job after playing in the NBA for one year.

Even after 9 consecutive years of assisting kings, Stockton's status is still the second on the team, and the commentator's idiomatic phrase is "Stockton to Malone". Stockton's status has risen dramatically in the 12th year of his career, that is, in 1996 and 1997, when he reached the Finals twice in a row, and the only thing left is 2 first-team teams, 1 All-Star Game MVP shared with Malone, and 10 All-Stars.

Now that Stockton is old and his physical fitness has declined significantly, Guo Xu can't feel any difficulty stepping on the 39-year-old veteran.

After the game, many media compared Guo Xu and Iverson, which caused heated discussions on the Internet.

In his rookie season, Iverson handed over a total of 20 games with 30+ points per game, and finally averaged 23.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game.

As soon as the exposure rate is high, Guo Xu's commercial value will also rise, even if he can't do it this season, he has a lot of potential to become an All-Star player in the future.

Agent Harpy Waters negotiates with merchants that the asking price is getting higher and higher, and the price is low without endorsement and compromise.

Harpy is an agent who understands basketball, and he told Guo Xu to be patient, even if he signs an endorsement, he will only sign a short contract, a maximum of two years, and he will never consider it for a long time. He firmly believes that as long as Guo Xu guarantees his health, the value of celebrities will increase during the weekend.

Guo Xu will definitely participate in the Rookie Challenge and the three-point contest this year, and he is still close to being an All-Star, unless he is thrown into the starting lineup by fans. Coaches tend to prefer veterans when they choose substitutes.

The Lakers have a very good chance of defending their title this season, and Guo Xu has the potential to win the Rookie of the Year and Sixth Man of the Year. When he has a championship ring, he will definitely be worth more in the coming year. If he can really fight Iverson in the finals, then it is possible to double his value.

With this mentality of waiting for appreciation, Harpy rejected a number of sneaker companies, Puma did not sign the high offer, and he even refused Nike for the time being.

Vince Carter suffered a loss from endorsement sneakers when he first entered the league, and he first signed an endorsement contract with Puma, but the poor quality and design of the sneakers made him decide to break the contract. Because of the breach of contract, Carter had to pay Puma 15 million liquidated damages. Fortunately, Nike, who has a lot of money, not only gave him a generous endorsement contract, but also helped him compensate for liquidated damages.

Harpy believes that if it is done properly, even if Guo Xu does not endorse sneakers for two years, the money earned in the next year can make up for the loss, and there is no need to cheapen these capitalists.
