Legend of Tomorrow

The next day, all major media reported the Lakers' away game victory over the Heat. While Guo Xu received high praise, it also attracted great controversy.

The high evaluation is not only because Guo Xu has 40+ points in a single game, but also because he has locked up the best rookie of the season early. The two main competitors said in interviews that they could not compete with him and that their strength was not as good as him.

Mike Miller lamented: I'm not surprised that Jason Guo scored more than 40 points in a single game. He may perform like this again next time. I thought he was a monster during the NCAA Finals and his offense was too scary. If If he participated in the Magic's training camp and physical examination before the draft, maybe the team wouldn't select me.

After watching the video interview, Magic coach Doc Rivers looked like an aunt carrying a sedan for the Exorcist. He wanted to find Miller's theory: I told you earlier, why didn't you tell me earlier? Why didn't you tell me earlier? You should have told me earlier.

I called him last night to congratulate him, and I'm really happy for him, Bulls swingman Jason Richardson said.

The reporter asked: Jason Guo has put up great numbers and is ahead of you in the best rookie rankings. Aren't you depressed about this?

Richardson smiled and said: No, we are not only teammates in college and high school, we have also been neighbors and good friends since childhood. We grew up together. I am happy for him and proud of him. He has indeed played well this season. I'm good.

Richardson currently averages 14.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game, but the team's record is at the bottom of the league. The Bulls players give the impression that they are just playing around and racking up statistics.

The other high-ranking rookies did not comment on Guo Xu this time because they were not even considered competitors. Saiqi even interviewed the media in the early stage, but now they are not interested in knowing what they think.

Kenyon Martin, the Nets' top pick, seems to be averaging 12 points and 7 rebounds per game. In fact, he averages 33 minutes per game. He is not very efficient on both offense and defense and is a blue-collar worker. Most of his scoring relies on pick-and-rolls and passing down the field, receiving passes from teammates. basket. His current defensive ability is not very good, he flies away in a flash, averaging 4.1 fouls per game, ranking first in the league.

The Grizzlies' second-place pick, Stromire Swift, is even less worth mentioning. He averaged 5 points, 3.6 rebounds, 0.4 assists and 0.8 fouls in 16.5 minutes per game. If it weren't for the coaching staff's focus on training, he wouldn't know where to stand on the court. People can only be marginalized people.

The Clippers' top pick, Darius Miles, averaged less than 10 points per game. His only bright spot was 1.5 blocks in 26 minutes. He is not skilled at small forward and cannot compete at power forward, so his position is very awkward.

The top three rookies in the 2000 class have all been labeled as parallel imports by the media. In Guo Xu's previous life, only Martin and other Nets' real coach Jason Kidd would significantly improve their strength after arriving. They were selected as All-Stars and received big contracts.

The other two are destined to be unable to turn over.

Online, Guo Xu's popularity has greatly increased again. He scored 40+ points in a national live game. Almost everyone believes that he will create a historical record for the NBA's lowest pick to win the best rookie.

Controversy also ensued. Many people believed that even if he was the best rookie, he was not qualified to challenge 76ers boss Iverson.

Iverson is the scoring leader, who is Jason Guo? Even if there is a challenge, Kobe and O'Neal should be the ones to decide.

He came on the field and was exposed for forgetting his moral character so quickly. With this little memory, he still wants to become a star in the future?

The most overestimating rookie in history. The two teams really meet in the finals. If the single-core 76ers win, it must be because Jason Guo's defense is too poor and Iverson explodes.

I just had a convulsion and I'm so crazy. I want to take revenge on Iverson for the rest of my life. How can a clumsy idiot compare to a superstar who leads an independent team?

Unlike when he lost to the 76ers, Guo Xu was not angry at all when he saw many unfavorable comments on the Internet.

In the time loop, he often made big news, and he was used to being criticized. If he crashed into a car, jumped on a bungee, skydived, or went on a date, a group of people would come out on the Internet to criticize him and call him useless.

One day he suddenly realized that he didn't need to care about those trivial slanders. People standing at the foot of the mountain and those at the top were equally insignificant in the eyes of the other party.

Slander itself is a kind of admiration. If I am better than you, how can I have time to talk to you?

After reading the news online for a while, Guo Xu went to knock on the door opposite at noon. Megan's vacation was over and she came back from Port St. Lucie yesterday.

After opening the door, Guo Xu asked, Do you have any classes in the afternoon?

Meghan said: No, what are you doing?

It's okay, I just made a lot of money from stock trading, and I want you to accompany me to a place far away for a big meal.

oh.

The branches are full of spring, the moon is full in the sky, the splendor is extremely gorgeous, and it has returned to dullness.

On January 7, the Lakers defeated the Clippers 119-104 at home and achieved two consecutive victories. The Trident jointly contributed 91 points.

Guo Xu had 30 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 steals, outperforming Clippers starting point guard Jeff McGinnis with 11 points and 6 assists.

When the two teams competed at the end of December, McGinnis used his height of 193cm to gain the upper hand against Guo Xu. Only two weeks later, his advantage could not be used, and Guo Xu was stuck and unable to turn around.

Guo Xu's defense has also improved. In NBA games, you can often see many people on both offense and defense using small moves. The referee may not necessarily call it off when he sees it. Kobe Bryant can be said to have an arsenal of small moves. Guo Xu learned a lot from him. .

In this era, the NBA did not have a no handcheck rule. As the name suggests, hand means hand and check means stop, which means it is forbidden to stop with hands.

For example, this season, when Kobe plays with the ball behind his back, the defender can directly put one hand on his waist and carry him. In this way, a person with insufficient strength can use his arm strength to prevent a strong person from hitting him from behind. In the future, the NBA will no longer allow this. Hands and forearms are not allowed to contact the offensive player's body outside the penalty area to block the attack.

This does not have much impact on players who like to break through the frame. As long as they extend their arms and make contact with the opponent when facing the frame, they will be called for fouls at any time. This small move is very effective in preventing back attacks.

Guo Xu puts his arm against McGinnis's waist, which will affect his dribbling rhythm. As a 193CM point guard, McGinnis protects the ball with his back and observes the movement of his teammates to organize the offense. His The back-up breakthrough is far from the level of Payton's ability to turn left and right at will.

Guo Xu faced the frame and held the ball in a one-on-one challenge, but McGinnis couldn't guard him. His lateral speed was not fast enough. Before the cycle, he could get close to the body, which made Guo Xu very uncomfortable. Now Guo Xu knows how to break this move, and the distance is closer. Just run, catch the ball and take it out, using the width of the court to widen the distance and turn to face the frame.

As long as he turns around, no matter how far away from the basket, the only one who suffers is McGinnis, who is at a speed disadvantage. It is difficult for him to get close to him, and he will be passed if he does not grasp the distance well.

Even if Guo Xu doesn't force a breakthrough, he can still observe his teammates' movements and organize passes, which is very easy.

Clippers point guard Kenyon Dulin is out due to injury, so the only substitute is Earl Boykins, a 165cm-tall fringe man. Once he comes on the court, Guo Xu's game is simpler, and he can step back from the outside and hit three-pointers. .

Boykins' advantages are speed and shooting. It is difficult to perform against the equally flexible Guo Xu, and he was beaten miserably.

With two consecutive games of 30 points or more, more media are praising Guo Xu. Reporters like to compare him with Iverson.

Tomorrow the Lakers will face the Jazz back to back. Many Jazz fans are worried about the veteran Stockton. Guo Xu has been so strong recently that he seems to be on drugs. With such a fierce breakthrough, can the veteran guard him?
