Legend of Tomorrow

The protagonists of the movies Groundhog Day and Edge of Tomorrow immediately return to the beginning of the cycle after death. Guo Xu also encountered this situation.

The scene of the car crashing down was still vivid in his mind. Guo Xu was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his throat, but what followed was a burst of ecstasy. He has this ability and is like a god in the time loop. He doesn't have to be afraid of anything.

For a man with an adventurous spirit and a big brain, this is wonderful. He immediately had a lot of ideas and turned on the computer to check some information.

At noon, he deliberately went to the Chinese restaurant to eat again. He calculated the time and walked on the other side of the road to see who killed him and witnessed the whole process of the car accident.

A naughty child was running across the road without looking at the car. A slightly fat young man bravely rushed over and pushed the child away, but he was hit by the car and flew away. The driver who overturned the car to avoid the flying man was a female driver. Her skill was impressive and she wore a seat belt. It was not a big deal, but she couldn't get out of the overturned car and had to wait for someone to rescue her.

The only fatality in this accident was the rescue hero, who died before the ambulance could arrive.

Guo Xu silently recorded this incident, preparing to wait for the end of the time loop to prevent this tragedy from happening. With him here, the fate of the hero can be changed, as long as he stops the child early and prevents him from jaywalking. .

In the afternoon, Guo Xu visited retired Lakers star point guard Magic Earvin Johnson with some small gifts.

If he is a person who likes to get into trouble, facing Kobe will really have a psychological shadow. Fortunately, he has a cheerful personality and is not so easy to deny himself. When he has doubts, he will find ways to seek help.

Although Johnson only played in the league and the Lakers for 13 seasons, he is still the number one star in the history of the Lakers. Even if Kobe Bryant retires, he will only be ranked second.

Johnson, who is 206cm tall and weighs 98kg, was selected by the Lakers as the No. 1 pick in 1979. In his rookie season, he won a championship trophy for the Lakers and left a shocking legend.

In the finals, the Lakers met the 76ers led by Dr. J Irving. The Lakers led 3-2 in the first five games, but Kareem Abdul-Jabbar suffered a serious ankle injury. At this time, Magic took the initiative to switch from point guard to center. In the sixth game, he scored 42 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals, leading the Lakers to the championship.

Johnson won the Finals MVP with his outstanding performance, becoming the only player in NBA history to win the Finals MVP in his rookie season. He played in 16 games in the playoffs, averaging 18.3 points, 10.5 rebounds, 9.4 assists and 3.1 steals per game.

After that, he won 4 NBA championships for the Lakers in 1982, 1985, 1987, and 1988.

In his peak season of 1986-87, he averaged 23.9 points, 6.3 rebounds and 12.2 assists per game. If he hadn't retired early due to AIDS, Magic's brilliant career would have continued, and the historical assist leader might not be Stockton.

Guo Xu talked about his recent duel with Kobe and asked for advice on how to become stronger.

Johnson smiled and said: It's normal that you can't win a duel with Kobe. If you want to become stronger, you should follow the path of Isiah Thomas and assist your teammates more instead of competing with Kobe. There is too much difference in body shape. How can you guard it? To guard him? It was impossible for the Pistons to let Thomas guard Jordan.

Guo Xu slapped his forehead and suddenly felt that he suddenly understood that he had been led out of rhythm recently.

Because the condition for getting out of the time loop was that he suppressed Iverson in the finals, he always wanted to defeat his opponent by scoring, trying to be the same as in the dream. In fact, if he wants to play, there is more than one way to score.

Iverson is not an orthodox point guard. He averaged no more than five assists per game for three consecutive seasons. So far this season, he is averaging 4.5 assists per game. Like Kobe, he plays like a shooting guard on the offensive end.

Guo Xu averages less than five assists per game for the Lakers this season. He has almost forgotten that he is a point guard and does not have much time to control the ball.

If he increases assists, actively cooperates with his teammates, and scores 20+10 in the finals while maintaining a high shooting rate, he can also be regarded as suppressing Iverson, who has a low shooting rate of 30 points, but in a different way.

Smiling Assassin Thomas is 185cm tall and weighs 82kg. He is similar in stature to Guo Xu, and his playing style can be imitated.

Thomas is currently the most successful small point guard in the league. He has been selected to the All-Star 12 times in his career and won two All-Star MVPs. He led the Pistons to two championships, won the NBA Finals MVP in 1990, was selected to the All-NBA First Team three times, to the Second Team twice, and was selected into the 50 Greatest Stars and the Hall of Fame.

Thomas has a sharp breakthrough, an acceptable mid-range shot, and basically no three-pointers. In his peak season of 1984-85, he averaged 21.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 13.9 assists and 2.3 steals per game. Throughout his career, he averaged 19.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, 9.3 assists and 1.9 steals.

Johnson suggested that Guo Xu go back and study Thomas' game videos more and develop in an all-round way. He must have a certain ability to hold the ball in singles and cooperate with his teammates in order to become a real star.

Johnson was vague about how to improve his assist ability, and he did not teach Guo Xu any secret skills.

This is not Johnson's secret possession, but the fact that point guards had more assists in the 1980s was directly related to the fast transition between offense and defense in the league at that time. At that time, strong teams averaged 115+ points per game, and their defense was mainly single defense. The 188-186 showdown between the Pistons and Nuggets was the product of a fast pace and looked like an All-Star game.

In the 1990s, the NBA rhythm dropped significantly, a large number of high-quality insiders emerged, and the offensive axis of many teams also began to change.

Now, the league advocates defense to win championships. Strong teams all focus on positional warfare. It is very difficult for a point guard to reach double figures in assists. Kidd averaged 10.1 assists per game last season and was the assist leader.

Guo Xu feels that this trip was not in vain. It is very important for players to find a correct template. If the positioning is not clear, it is easy to waste years like Billups and wander around.

As the most decorated little star in NBA history, Thomas is not a vegetarian in terms of physical fitness. He once scored 25 points in a single quarter despite being injured, which shows the terrifying scoring ability.

After thinking about it, Guo Xu decided to practice his physical fitness first. If he doesn't train himself into a superman, he won't get out of this time loop.

He is no longer obsessed with one-on-one against Kobe. Johnson is right, the swingman is the most powerful one-on-one player and can attack and defend well.

Center and point guard are positions with obvious advantages and disadvantages. No matter how good O'Neal is, he still needs his teammates to lob the ball to him in the low post. It is impossible to attack with the ball from the outside. As the shortest position on the court, the point guard must be on the defensive end. Will suffer a loss.

Just because they have flaws doesn’t mean they’re unimportant. On the contrary, players in these two positions are most likely to create misplaced scoring opportunities, that is, simple scoring opportunities, which swingmen do not have. If a person about 2 meters tall plays pick-and-roll, as long as the opponent switches defense actively, there will be no obvious misalignment.

Just because a point guard can't beat Kobe in a one-on-one match doesn't mean that he can't beat Kobe as a team leader. What Guo Xu has to do is to try his best to use his own advantages, drive the team's offense through a combination of breakout shots, and be the commander on the court.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Kobe Bryant won the scoring title for two consecutive seasons, but was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by Nash, who was in poor physical condition. Moreover, Nash has won the regular season MVP consecutively, and Kobe only has one regular season MVP in 2008.

If Guo Xu is as addicted to singles as Kobe, even if the statistics are beautiful, it may not be a good thing for the team. He realized.
