Legend of Tomorrow

Kobe's performance was terrible, and it was the Lakers management who took the blame after the game.

When I think of the Lakers letting go of Guo Xu in vain, Lakers fans feel extremely sad and feel that they have lost a wonderful ten years. Although Kobe scolded Kupchak and Buss when he was dissatisfied with the lineup when he was with the Lakers, they still felt uncomfortable.

The 76ers management is not impatient. Their goal is to mess up and give up this season. Next summer they will select a high-ranking rookie, and they will be able to sign freely when their junk contract expires. There should be a bright future.

On a day off, the Lakers played away against the underdog Heat. The Heat are a rebuilding team and ranked 12th in the Eastern Conference.

The current core of the Heat is point guard Goran Dragic, who was traded from the Pistons. This is Dragic's own request. He has no future playing for the Pistons, his exposure rate is extremely low, and the urban environment is poor.

On July 18, 2013, Detroit, the Car City, officially filed for bankruptcy protection, becoming the largest bankrupt city in American history. No player with any ambition would want to play there.

This was a contest between the eldest brother and the younger brother. Guo Xu easily defeated Dragic, who learned many of his skills from him.

The strength of the Heat's players in all positions is very average. Channing Frye and Amar'e Stoudemire are paired inside. Both of them are big men with three-point range and can attack well and defend weakly.

It is worth mentioning that Lamar Odom is useless again.

Odom became unplayable after his contract with the Heat expired, and then returned to Los Angeles and started messing around. At the end of October, he took drugs and indulged in sex at an entertainment club day and night until he passed out in bed. After he was sent to the hospital, the doctor once diagnosed him as incurable, but later his condition improved. The doctor's second conclusion was that he was brain dead and was likely to become a vegetative state.

In a parallel world, Odom, who had been married to Khloe Kardashian, miraculously woke up. Now that Kohler and Harden are together, Odom has no one to accompany him and shows no signs of waking up.

Including Kobe and Wade, many players who have worked with Odom have visited him in the hospital and sent their blessings. But no one can help with this kind of thing, so we can only rely on the doctor's skills.

It was Odom's own fault that he got to this point. He was very undisciplined in his early career. Otherwise, with his physical fitness and comprehensive skills, he should have a better career.

The Lakers won this game easily. Guo Xu only played 34 minutes and continued to maintain his strong form, scoring a huge double-double with 40 points, 5 rebounds and 11 assists.

The Lakers played tricks together,

Substitute power forward Montrezl Harrell received Guo Xu's assist and performed five dunks. He made 7 of 7 shots and 1 of 2 free throws in 15 minutes, scoring 15 points and 4 rebounds.

Unconsciously, Harrell has become an important rotation inside. Tyronn Lue knows how to let him play. He can just play with Guo Xu. Guo Xu will attract double teams and deliver cannonballs to him.

Harrell's height is the same as the Nuggets Orc Faried, 203cm, but his wingspan is even more terrifying at 224cm. The two have similar styles. Although they don't have outstanding height, they have amazing jumping and explosive power.

Guo Xu is very simple to help Harrell, and he has rich experience. Stoudemire and Nene in their rookie seasons are such people. They are not a big threat when they stand up, but they are stars when they rush up.

He can choose the right passing moment for Harrell to catch the ball in motion, fast break pass, behind the head pass, alley-oop pass.

Their cooperation resulted in three dunks that were selected into the top five goals of the day. The most exciting one was an alley-oop off the backboard. Harrell dunked with both hands. He was so strong that he almost wanted to tear the backboard apart. His dunk moves are not very fancy, they are basically tomahawk dunks, and his power is terrifying and comparable to that of James.

Harrell attended the press conference. He said excitedly: Jason is so good. I just need to cut the ball and it will pass to my hand. I don't need to make any adjustments. There is the basket in front of me.

Stoudemire, who had dinner with Guo Xu to reminisce at noon today, also performed well, scoring 14 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.

He said with emotion in an interview: I miss the time when I was paired with Jason. It was so easy to score at that time. Now it is his turn to help the Lakers' rookies gain confidence. These young people are really very lucky.

The reporter asked: How do you evaluate Jason's physical fitness? He is in frighteningly good condition this year, just like 10 years ago. You are one year younger than him, but you have declined sharply.

Stoudemire said with a wry smile: I think the main reason is the health-preserving style of play he mentioned. Most of the season, he mainly organizes offense, and rarely jumps with all his strength when he breaks through. He warned me to reduce dunks and increase jump shots. Otherwise, the state will decline quickly, but I couldn't control myself when I was young.

The reporter asked: What statistics do you think he would have produced if he had gone all out when he was young?

I don't know, but I think he's going to be the leading scorer every season.

That night, everyone on the Lakers took a bus to Orlando. The two cities are very close to each other and will play back-to-back games tomorrow.

Elfrid Payton is unlucky. He is 193cm tall and weighs 84kg. He is a tall point guard. His speed is obviously not as fast as Guo Xu, and he was broken through time and time again.

Payton's performance on the offensive end was also very poor. He is a point guard who puts passing first. Because of his poor shooting, he was not accurate in mid-range shots and three-pointers. He could only rely on his teammates to break through after covering. In 34 minutes of play, he made 3 of 8 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, 10 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, and five turnovers.

Relying on his non-defense skills, Guo Xu played 6 minutes in the final quarter and 35 minutes in the game, scoring 45 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals, with a shooting percentage of 48.3%.

He didn't feel good on the outside today, and he was very dissatisfied with this shooting rate. If he was on target on the outside, he could easily score 50+.

After the away trip, the Lakers returned to their home court and defeated the Mavericks and Pistons. Guo Xu scored 35 points and 41 points respectively, and his statistics dropped a bit.

In both games, Guo Xu clocked out in the third quarter. His opponent was too weak, so he couldn't hold back and widened the point difference.

The Mavericks failed to make the playoffs this season, Monta Ellis joined the Pacers, and the team lacked an important sixth man.

Andrew Wiggins gained more ball rights, averaging 20.6 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2 assists per game, shooting 45.9% from the field and 30% from the three-point range. His efficiency was not good and his organizational skills were very poor.

Tall, rich and handsome Chandler Parsons was useless after signing a big contract. He averaged only 8.2 points per game, shooting 38.3% from the field and 30.9% from the three-point range.

The Mavericks' insiders Pachulia, David Lee, and Villanueva are not good at guarding the pick-and-roll and assisting in defense. Point guard Felton and Barea are useless when defending Guo Xu alone.

The Mavericks' offense was weak, falling behind by 42 points in three quarters, and ultimately lost by 56 points, creating the largest point difference in a single game this season.

The Pistons were also hopelessly bad, losing by 45 points. The team's leading scorer was Reggie Jackson, the Thunder's former sixth man.

Reggie is a combo guard, 191cm tall and 94kg in weight. In Guo Xu's opinion, he just can't guard both sides. He has poor organizational skills and poor defense when playing point guard. He suffers from height disadvantage when playing shooting guard and his defense is even worse.

The core of the Pistons' inside is Andre Drummond, known as Drummond. With Nurkic on the court, he is of no use on the offensive end. He can only score when he's at the basket, shooting only 38.3% from the low post and close range.

If he gets deep to the basket, he just pulls it up to the free throw line and he never lets his opponent down. He often misses three shots, or his shots are incredibly crooked. His current free throw percentage per game is a career low of 35.5%.

The Lakers have won ten consecutive games at the start...
