Legend of Tomorrow

In the first quarter, both sides focused on one-on-one offense, with the Lakers leading 31 to 25.

Lakers players constantly created opportunities for Guo Xu to catch the ball, shoot the ball and play singles with the ball. He scored 22 points, 1 assist, and hit 4 three-pointers. 8 of 12 shots, 4 of 7 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, a very high shooting percentage.

For the Hawks, Randolph and Teague played mainly in singles, with average efficiency, scoring 6 and 13 points respectively.

Others didn't catch the ball much, and Aaron Gordon and Otto Porter had bad luck being teammates with Teague as soon as they entered the league. Even if they receive the ball, they are playing singles. Without smooth cooperation, it is difficult to build up self-confidence.

In a parallel world, Millsap expressed dissatisfaction with Teague, which may also be an important reason for Horford's departure.

The Eagles' offensive rhythm was very slow, and Guo Xu was quite speechless against Teague, a defender. Only the wrong name, not the wrong nickname, this guy is really the Sports Mamba and the Essence of Human Sticky Balls!

Even if there is room to take shots, Teague does not have the confidence to take continuous shots from mid- to long-range. He just moves in and out, wasting time.

His ball didn't drop, but what's the point of rushing to the basket, circling around and coming out again? As the team's starting point guard, Teague controls the ball most of the time on the court. He should be responsible for sorting out the team's offensive tactics, but he always dribbles the ball alone.

He is used to waiting for 5 or 6 seconds in the frontcourt. After the opponent's defense is completely in place, he can't find an opportunity to play the ball. In desperation, he could only continue his luck. When there were 3 or 4 seconds left, he would either choose to break through or throw the blame away from his teammates.

Other teams probably like undercover players like Teague, but this kind of pace is disgusting. Guo Xu is not light. If the speed is slow, it is difficult for him to score points.

Because of Teague, Guo Xu was particularly relaxed on the defensive end and could rest while playing. He simply proposed not to rest in the second quarter and continue to play with substitutes.

He planned to take advantage of Teague's absence to play a wave and try to bring up the rhythm.

The five Lakers are Guo Xu, Booker, Robertson, Tucker, and Sacre.

The Hawks sent Dennis Schroeder, Kent Bazemore, Aaron Gordon, Splitter, and Humphries.

The Hawks attacked first. Schroeder broke into the basket after playing a pick-and-roll and missed a layup due to Tucker's defense change. Thackeray grabbed the rebound and passed it to Booker, who hit the ground and passed the ball to Guo Xu.

Guo Xu's fast break was misplaced. He lowered his center of gravity and then changed direction and almost knocked Humphries to the ground.

He tried to pull someone for a foul but failed, and he lost his center of gravity.

Guo Xu drove to the basket from the right, calculated the right move, switched hands with his crotch, and dunked the ball into the basket. 33 to 25.

Zhang Lili shouted: Play with him! Guo Xu once again performed an action that is only seen in the slam dunk contest in actual combat.

Yu Jia laughed and said: Normal dunks can't satisfy him anymore. Humphries turns around so slowly.

Humphries was a double-double player in his prime, but he has been inactive since his flash marriage to Kim Kardashian in 2011.

When Kardashian said in an interview the reason why she married Humphries, she said it was because she was 30 years old at the time and felt a bit old. After the divorce, Humphries almost became depressed.

The Eagles attacked, and Guo Xu let Schroeder two meters away. Schroeder is very fast, has good dribbling skills, and has strong breakthrough ability, but his long-range shots are extremely unstable, and he dare not take shots from the outside when he is left open.

The coach arranged for Schroeder to lead the offense off the bench. His breakthrough points were very crucial, averaging 11 points and 4.4 assists per game. None of the other players could lead the team. After thinking about it, he chose to break through. Guo Xu saw the opportunity and blocked the breakthrough route.

The two suffered a loss as soon as they faced off against Schroeder. A stagger disrupted the rhythm of dribbling. He is 185cm tall and weighs only 78kg, very thin. Guo Xu waited for the opportunity and reached out to poke the basketball away. He quickly picked up the ball and started a fast break alone.

Schroeder's fast speed is his biggest weapon. As a result, when the two of them competed for speed today, he was obviously left behind by Guo Xu. He watched helplessly as Guo Xu scored an easy layup and couldn't catch up even if he wanted to foul.

35 to 25, Guo Xu’s 26th point.

If we were to measure the 100-meter run, Schroeder should be able to run under 11 seconds, but he would definitely not be able to reach 10.5 seconds. Guo Xu's fastest time was over 10 seconds. There is still a gap between NBA speed players and those who can participate in the Olympics. This is why Guo Xu doesn't need to fake if he's too big, he can just change direction and rush forward, and that's it.

Schroeder passed the ball across half court, and Bazemore ran to catch the ball and hit a three-pointer. 35 to 28.

The Lakers home fans gave their opponents warm applause. They didn't want the Eagles to lose too quickly.

When the Lakers attacked, Guo Xu waved his hands to let his teammates move away. He didn't need to cover and just hit Schroeder alone. He dribbled the ball continuously from the right, waited for Schroeder's center of gravity to shift slightly, then stepped back and took a quick shot.

Schroeder's wingspan is an astonishing 201cm, but Guo Xu's shot is too fast, and if he takes off a little slower, he can't cover it.

Guo Xu hit a three-pointer against someone, 38-28, his 29th point.

Schroeder's defense is below average and he is prone to fake moves. In addition, his poor confrontation ability means that his wingspan is basically in vain. He only averages 0.1 blocks per game in 20 minutes. Guo Xu carefully read the opponent's information before the game and felt no pressure when shooting.

The Eagles attacked, and something magical happened. Guo Xu used defense around the back against Schroeder.

Schroeder is not Harden. He is not good at step-back shooting. Guo Xu did this purely because the opponent was not confident in taking shots after being left open. He seemed to be wasting time on the outside with Rondo.

One Teague is enough to upset him. If Schroeder continues to play without clearing the air to find teammates, Guo Xu will want to hit them. He simply let the opponent rush in. Otherwise, he would sneak in from behind and steal the ball.

Schroeder rushed up, and then something very embarrassing happened. Both Thackeray and Tucker shrank to the basket. Schroeder passed the ball to his teammates, and the two insiders had no shooting range.

The Hawks can't win because of a poor lineup. Randolph's shooting range has gotten closer and closer in recent years. The management traded for Hawes in the hope that he can play pick-and-rolls and clear the basket.

After receiving the ball, Splitter took a dribble and made a layup. He was interfered by Thackeray who turned around and missed the ball. Tucker grabbed the rebound and threw it forward. Guo Xu was completely free. He caught the ball near the free throw line, turned around, took three steps, jumped up lightly, and dunked the basketball with both hands.

40 to 28, personal 31st point.

Hawks coach Hollins did not call a timeout yet, allowing the players to adjust on their own. He felt that Guo Xu had let the situation go so far that it was shameful to call a timeout. Anyway, it was just a matter of playing casually. It's almost time for him to leave after this season. He can be the head coach this year because the management has no requirements for record.

Guo Xu continued to defend from behind. Schroeder was confused and had only one option: breakthrough. Guo Xu went around, and with someone behind him, his long-range and mid-range shots, which were originally inaccurate, were even more inaccurate. The breakthrough once again encountered defense.

He knew that the missed layup might be turned into a counterattack by Guo Xu, so he was not so determined in the layup. He was obviously on the offensive side, but what he was thinking about was how to defend Guo Xu. This is the embodiment of dominance.

He attracted Thackeray to cover and then passed the ball to Humphries. The latter did not waste the opportunity. He was a head taller than Tucker, took a step after receiving the ball and dunked the ball with one hand.

Tucker must stay close to the small to defend the big. Once the opponent turns around, it will be difficult for him to deal with it.

When the Lakers attacked, Thackeray provided a cover for Guo Xu as soon as the half was over. Guo Xu moved laterally to get rid of Schroeder and then accelerated violently. He changed direction and passed Split, and he shot into the middle of the three-point line. Avoided Humphries' defense and scored the ball.

42 to 30, Guo Xu scored 33 points. He was now in crazy scoring mode...
