Legend of Tomorrow

Curry also accepted an interview after defeating the Nuggets, and was very low-key when talking about Guo Xu.

I'm definitely not as good as Jason in a one-on-one matchup. No one can beat him in a one-on-one matchup, because no one can guard him one-on-one. I can only try my best to cooperate with my teammates to win. The Lakers are not without weaknesses.

Just last week, Curry participated in the show and was asked by the host about the strongest lineup in history. His answer: I would say Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, LeBron James, Shaquille O'Neal and Jason Kuo.

In fact, before the two teams started playing, Curry had nightmares just thinking about facing Guo Xu.

Guo Xu knew the reason for Curry's nightmare. Curry was on the Bobcats and was Hayes' teammate. Guo Xu violently abused him during the game. Unfortunately for Earth Six, he was Wang Jun's younger brother in the Kings team. Guo Xu participated in training and violently abused him.

Guo Xu used the skills he had developed in one-on-one with Wang Jun to beat Curry, and the scene was horrific. Curry can also score goals against Guo Xu, but he will never win with ten goals. He can't prevent the breakthrough.

Of course, this does not mean that the Lakers can easily defeat the Warriors. In other positions, the Lakers are obviously at a disadvantage. The Warriors' lineup is stronger than that of the parallel world. There is one less Klay Thompson, but there are more strong men.

Big-name star players from other teams were interviewed after the game and were also asked about the outcome of the two teams. Without exception, these people all feel that Guo Xu is stronger personally and the Warriors are stronger as a whole.

Kyrie Irving of the Pelicans said: Even Curry is one level behind Jason. Jason is different from everyone else. He may be alone in NBA history.

James said: It requires the efforts of the whole team when defending Jason. You can't relax for a moment. Even so, the ending may not be the result you want.

Duncan said: If it weren't for Jason, I think the Spurs would have several more championships. I think the Lakers will win the next game. After he joins, the Lakers will become a super strong team.

A reporter also interviewed Garnett. He did not give any comments to Guo Xu. He just felt very depressed.

He is destined to never win a championship in this life. He only averaged 3.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game in the Timberwolves. With such data, if he wants to join a strong team after the second year of his contract, it is estimated that no one will want him.

After Nowitzki won the championship, Garnett almost had the worst record among the popular star power forwards, and his evaluation was slightly higher than Gasol.

On the 24th, the focus of this round started at Oracle Arena in Oakland.

When players come out to warm up,

The ratings of TNT TV set a new high for a single game this season.

CCTV5 also broadcast the game live. Zhang Lili commented: It used to be said that the insider wins the world. Now the NBA is an era where outsiders dominate the league. The highlight tonight is Guo Xu VS Guo Xu's successor.

Yu Jia smiled and said: Curry must really want to win this game. It has only been two years since he took over. Guo Xu came back, and his popularity immediately surpassed him by far. Only by defeating Guo Xu can he truly complete the game. Heritage. If the Warriors defend their title again, they will win three consecutive championships to establish a dynasty. They definitely don’t want to miss this.”

Zhang Lili said: Guo Xu is too lazy to compare his popularity with other stars now. There is no need to compare. His latest science fiction movie is being released, and the box office has exceeded 500 million US dollars. How many fans does this have?

Before the game started, Guo Xu greeted Curry and Nowitzki.

In the parallel world, Guo Xu interacted with Nowitzki, participated in the Mavericks' training, and represented the Mavericks against the Bobcats again and again. He thought about recruiting Nowitzki as a teammate and winning the championship together, but now there is no need for him. Nowitzki has proven himself with the Warriors.

Looking at the Warriors' starting lineup, we know that they need to strengthen their defense, Curry, Redick, Middleton, Green, and Gobert.

Lopez and Nowitzki came on the bench together. What a luxury is this?

Lopez's data dropped sharply after his playing time was reduced, and he is ready to leave after this season. He has a championship ring and a reputation, so he can definitely go to a weak team and get a big contract. He will be 28 years old next year and is in his prime age. He will definitely be a big fish in the free market.

It's a blessing in disguise. In a parallel world, Lopez was unable to sign a high-paying long-term contract after his first big contract with the Nets expired, because he played for a long time and suffered injuries. In the Warriors, Lopez has always shared playing time with his teammates and played efficiently in limited time. He is very healthy and in excellent condition.

As long as he enters the free market next year, even if he can't get the maximum salary, teams that are short of insiders will be interested in him. At least it will not be worse than the 76ers' contract renewal of Jordan. Whether he can get 30 million depends on his fortune. .

Lakers starting lineup: Guo Xu, Booker, Carter, Tucker, Horford.

This is an offense-oriented lineup. All five players can shoot three-pointers to maximize the space. This was the result of Tyronn Lue's temporary adjustment. When he saw that Nowitzki was not playing, he did not let blue-collar Robertson start.

There is no need to specifically strengthen the defense to deal with Green. Tucker is very suitable as a power forward to PK him. Both are strong short men. Green's height advantage of 201cm is nothing special. His mid-range and long-range shots have always been poor, and he has regressed after two consecutive championships.

Players with rings will have a change in mentality, their desire to win will gradually weaken, and Green will be too lazy to practice shooting. Nowitzki and Lopez's condition has declined significantly, which is also due to their unwillingness to fight hard.

Gobert won the jump ball and the game was on.

The Warriors attacked first, Curry caught the ball from the outside, and Guo Xu quickly stepped forward to complete the close-up. Curry leaned back and couldn't squeeze, and he couldn't get rid of the ball horizontally. Guo Xu just followed.

This kind of defense is more effective than standing a distance to block shots or interfere with shots. On Earth 1, Battier's eye-sealing defense was not highly rated. That method works well when defending ordinary players, and they will be affected. Stars with good touch basically ignore eye sealing, and they are even more useless when encountering those who forcefully hit the low post.

Guo Xu's personal defense method makes many people uncomfortable. Just follow, without even taking off. When the person turns to shoot, lean on it, and the opponent's shot movement may be deformed and lose the rhythm.

Curry is like Harden in some aspects. He is also a player who relies on rhythm to play. If the rhythm is right, he will often score continuously. If the rhythm is wrong, he will continue to score. He is afraid of close defense.

Curry knew his weaknesses. He had been guarded by small players like Delavidua, so he chose to pass the ball to his teammates and gave it to Redick who was running. Booker chased and followed up.

Booker is very motivated, but his physical fitness is a shortcoming, which is more than enough against Redick. Redick passed to the Green organization and started running with Curry.

Curry's style of play is to imitate Guo Xu, who can play with and without the ball. This change makes the opponent hard to guard against, and they have to run with him. If he is slower, he can also break out of the big man.

Guo Xu had rarely worked hard on defense without the ball before, but today he followed Curry with all his attention and didn't let his guard down.

After passing the ball several times, Curry still had no good shot, so Greene passed the ball to Gobert. The latter hit Horford hard but was blocked, turned and missed. His shortcoming is that he has no shooting range, all his shots are at the basket, his low-post shooting percentage is only 22.3%, and he averages one shot per game.

He chose to turn around and hit the hook because the attack time was running out and he had to step up despite being pushed by Horford.

Without Nowitzki and Lopez starting, the Warriors' formation will not be able to spread out very widely, which will affect the overall offense. Guo Xu's strength can be seen in all aspects. In order to strengthen defense today, the Warriors tied themselves up.

With the lineup arranged like this, will it be possible to defend against Guo Xu's attack...
