Legend of Tomorrow

After the game, ESPN analyzed that if a player wants to set a record of 7 consecutive games with 50 points or more, he really has to do so in the ancient times.

It is twice as difficult for Guo Xu to score consecutive high scores in modern times, because opponents all know that he has strong scoring ability. Once they see his hot touch, they will increase the intensity of double-teaming. There are always two people chasing and intercepting him, making it difficult for him to take action.

Although passing the ball to teammates can create easy scoring opportunities, this is not the result Guo Xu wants. Moreover, once teammates take outside shots, the Lakers increase points very quickly, and the game can easily enter garbage time. That way Guo Xu wouldn't be able to play in the final quarter, and there would be controversy if he forced the game for a while.

When it comes to playing 48 minutes without pressure, everyone will think of Chamberlain. He averaged more than 45 minutes per game in 10 seasons. In the 1961-1962 season, his playing time with the Philadelphia Warriors even reached an average of 48.5 minutes per game, playing the entire game and overtime.

This is really an iron man. This kind of record is unparalleled in NBA history.

However, this also illustrates a problem from the side. No matter how much the team leads, Chamberlain will never leave the game. Even if he is ahead by 4 or 50 points when playing against an underdog, he will stay on the court and continue to play, striving to get his personal score over 50 points.

Modern basketball games no longer have such conditions. Once the score difference exceeds 20 points in the final quarter, both sides may replace all the main players and let the core rest.

This is an unspoken rule to save face for the opponent, causing players to fight less and less.

It's not that modern players don't have enough physical strength to play 48 minutes, but the rules don't allow it. If the lead is not much, the coach will also keep the players in the best condition through rotation and strive to achieve higher efficiency.

Playing for 48 minutes without rest will definitely affect the player's game state. A typical example in modern times is Allen Iverson.

The difference between an iron man and a blacksmith is exactly the same. Iverson played 14 seasons in the regular season, averaging 41.1 minutes per game, scoring 26.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 2.2 steals. Just looking at the data is awesome, but looking at the efficiency is a tragedy.

During the five-game winning streak, many fans discussed Guo Xu and believed that he would definitely be able to average 50 points per game this season. Now they believe that if they want to average 50 points per game, Guo Xu must work harder, his opponents must also work hard, and there cannot be too much garbage time.

This is of course the biggest highlight of this season. Fans don't care about the record. They must watch every Lakers game and want to know what data Guo Xu can finally produce.

Apart from Guo Xu, the most watched person on the Lakers is Al Horford, who is popular.

This is the ninth season of his career,

From 2007 to now, he has never received more than 300,000 votes in the All-Star voting, with the highest number being 280,000. This year he will definitely exceed that number and will almost certainly be selected as an All-Star.

The supportive insider paired with Guo Xu looked particularly demonic when playing. Gasol's popularity soared back then because of his playing style. Because Guo Xu mainly scores this season and does not organize much, Horford's assist data is much better than Gasol's.

The internet now calls Horford a ball-blind evaluator. His scoring has never been high and he rarely attacks the basket, but his passing and shooting abilities are what all teams want.

He just loses because of his low-key personality. If he takes more shots and roars and beats his chest after a jump shot, he will at least be regarded as a poor man's version of Garnett. The two have similar playing styles, and Horford even has a higher true shooting percentage than Garnett. The only difference is their celebrations.

On the 17th, Horford called Guo Xu and said that he had something to ask for, with a tone that was difficult for him to say.

Guo Xu thought he wanted to talk about renewing his contract next year. According to next season's salary cap, if the Lakers want to renew Horford's contract, they will definitely have to offer an annual salary of about 30 million. In a parallel world, the Green Army poached Horford, who had an average record, with a four-year, $110 million contract.

Guo Xu was at home with his girlfriend and it was inconvenient to go out, so he directly invited him to his house for lunch.

Horford brought his wife and introduced them. This is my wife Emilia Vega.

Hello. Vega smiled.

Vega became the first Dominican to win the Miss Universe title in 2003 at the age of 18. She has amazing beauty and temperament, and also became the tallest Miss Universe winner with her proud height of 188cm.

After the two got married in 2011, Weijia became a full-time housewife. Now the two have a son, and they are as sweet as ever. Their marriage is really a breath of fresh air in the NBA's corrupt marriage life!

This year she has become a beautiful sight at the Lakers' home court, and her appearance is among the best among the wives and girlfriends of NBA stars. However, she is an Internet celebrity, and her fame is incomparable to that of the two actresses from Guo Xu's family, so it is inevitable that she will be a little nervous after meeting her.

Guo Xu has a chef at home, so he just orders whatever he likes. The five of them sat in the restaurant eating delicious food and chatting.

The conversation started to revolve around basketball, and Guo Xu asked: Al, you are a free agent after this season. What are your plans?

I hope I can stay with the team. I have a great time in Los Angeles. As long as the contract the Lakers offer me is not too low, I will stay. Horford said with a smile.

The right choice. Guo Xu also smiled.

Players all know that Guo Xu has the final say for the Lakers now. Horford is very smart. He has high exposure and endorsement contracts in Los Angeles, and can earn more than earning a maximum salary in the Thunder. And he won't be able to play as well as he does now after leaving the Lakers system. Most of his assists are passed to Guo Xu, and a few are given to teammates. He currently averages 7.4 assists per game, just like a big point guard.

Horford will definitely renew his contract and stay with the team. This is the way he wants to play. He is eager to win the game instead of trying his best to lose in the end. He thinks Guo Xu is the best boss, much better than the two Thunder players.

In terms of life, his wife also likes Los Angeles. How can a woman who dreams of becoming a star not like Los Angeles?

Of course Guo Xu hopes Horford will stay. The two have not been teammates for a long time and their relationship is already very good. His tactical role is similar to that of the Warriors' Draymond Green, but he is stronger.

If both players are in their prime, every team will definitely want Horford. He can do everything Green can do, but Green may not be able to do what he can do. No matter how strong Green is, he is only a blue-collar player who is only good at defense and passing. The opponent only needs to prevent him from passing the ball and let him shoot. Letting Horford shoot would cause big problems.

Horford is fully qualified to enter Guo Xu's circle of friends. Among black people, his appearance and figure can also be called a handsome man. His wife Vega is a singer, model and beauty queen.

Now I also need to add the identity of actor. Horford brought his wife to see Guo Xu, hoping that Weijia could play a role in a movie produced by Tomorrow Company in the future. The requirements were not high, just a supporting role in a vase.

She has a dream to be an actress, but it has been difficult to find suitable roles because of her height. If an actor is needed for a movie in the future, can you consider her? Horford asked, holding his wife's hand.

Of course, I will ask them to pay attention when I collect the script. Elizabeth Debicki is also very tall. She starred in The Great Gatsby and Secret Agent. Guo Xu gave an example.

Debicki is 190cm tall. He also starred in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and is already famous. Alicia Vikander played the heroine in Secret Agent, and Guo Xu went to the theater to support her.

Kanmei will star in Kingsman 2 with him this summer, and she is a member of his circle of friends.

A guarantee is a small thing for Guo Xu, but it can make the second-in-command of the team wholeheartedly willing to stay in Los Angeles. With this teammate here, the internal and external core will not have to think about poaching people. Guo Xu has 100% confidence in leading the Lakers to build another dynasty. .
