Legend of Tomorrow - Chapter 1197
The difference between the two sides gradually widened, the Lakers Big Three’s offense was unstoppable, and the Wizards’ offense was limited. At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led 38 to 23.
Compared with the starting five positions of the two teams, the Wizards only have the advantage of Bradley Bill at the 2nd position. The Wizards players are not as cooperative as the Lakers. The coaches do not know how they can win.
The core contest between the two sides, Guo Xu has the upper hand.
Wall can shoot in the middle and long range, and he will be targeted if he chooses to break through. Whether he is relying on technology or body, it is difficult to get rid of Guo Xu. And Wall, who can’t break through, can’t play 70% of his strength.
Center Nurkic has been eye-catching on the offensive end this season, averaging 15.5 points and 11 rebounds per game. Today he faced Adams heads-up and failed to get into the penalty area. After pulling out the cover, the CIC was not allowed, and the efficiency was reduced.
The Wizards ’customary routine is to combine inside and outside. To win by attacking, there are four main points of attack. Only two are left today. Bill and Love are easy to score, and both have the ability to hold the ball singles, both inside and out.
The Lakers blossomed a little bit more on the side, Guo Xu scored 5 points and 12 assists in a single quarter, non-stop assist teammates.
Adams made 5 of 5 shots, 2 of 2 free throws and got 12 points and 5 rebounds; Horford made 5 of 6 shots and got 10 points and 3 rebounds.
Looking at the data, the Lakers have exploded inside the Wizards, and the Wizards manager watched the TV broadcast, suspecting that the summer deal was lost.
After the introduction of Nurkic, the Wizards’ inside attack power has indeed improved a lot, but the Bosnia and Herzegovina center is obviously not suitable for partnering with Love, and their lateral movement speeds are very slow. Last season, the Lakers’ No. 4 players were able to prevent pick-and-rolls, but they all believed that Nurkic had a flawed defense.
If you want to compete for the championship, you can’t let the team have obvious weaknesses. In the playoffs, because the center position defense is not good enough, the Lakers lost to the Warriors three games, and finally advanced by attacking.
The inside is not easy to pick and roll, which is a fatal weakness in the era of small balls. The data is only one aspect of the player’s ability. To win, the adaptation system is the most critical.
Earth 1 ’s Love is unlucky, and its popularity continues to decline. In the parallel world, he mixes a lot better. Many people like him and feel that he is a large Paul Walker. Real Walker is still alive here, people only say that Love is a defensive black hole.
In fact, his ball quotient is extremely high, and his ability is comprehensive, but in the small ball era, he encountered difficulties, and he couldn’t balance offense and defense. After losing weight, he is still a defensive black hole, often becoming the focus of the opposing defender.
Today, Love has no way to break Guo Xu’s breakthrough after being misplaced. It is also helpless to Durant’s dry pull jumper. Even Booker can take advantage of Love. For Love, he can only help the team one way, output more firepower on the offensive end, make up for the lack of defensive end.
In short, the Wizards’ two inside starters can only shrink to defend near the penalty area, which is a tragedy.
In the second quarter, the Lakers sent a full substitute led by Wade. The Wizards coach let Wall, who took a 4 minute break in the first quarter, come back with a substitute. After 5 minutes, the Wizards narrowed the point difference to only 5 points.
Wall counterpoint Felton has the upper hand. He and the center dug out from the Suns Mahin Gortat can always create opportunities to pick and roll, ensuring the offensive firepower.
Tyrone Lu made a mistake in employing, and sent the “five deaths”, useless teenager Zubac guarding the restricted area. Gortat played Harrell three times in a row because of his height advantage, and Tyronlu let Zubac play.
Gortat also had an advantage against Zubac, and Guo Xu returned to the field to suppress the Wizards’ counterattack.
He also knew Gottat very well, this was his younger brother in the sun. He knows how to play will make Gortat uncomfortable, Wizards players can not prevent breakthroughs without a double-team.
In this quarter, Guo Xu played 7 minutes, scoring 7 points and 5 assists and 12 points and 17 assists in the half.
In the second half, Durant began to show his power, counterattack to catch the ball and score a few consecutive goals, the Lakers widened the difference to 24 points in one breath. Guo Xu is the person responsible for launching a counterattack, with 9 assists in a single quarter, 6 of which were given to Durant.
He scored 19 points and 26 assists in three quarters, and he was about to score his second career single assist of 30+.
Tyronlu decisively sent a full backup lineup at the end, and even veteran Jason Terry played, playing double guard with Felton. This is to deliberately leave weaknesses to allow opponents to attack and reasonably release water.
Four minutes later, the points difference was reduced to 11 points, and the Lakers Big Three have reason to play together.
As long as the former Thunder two are around, Guo Xu will not worry about assists. Both are good at catching the ball and shooting. In particular, Durant can face the inside players, and he can’t be built without him.
Guo Xu played for 6 minutes and easily scored 2 points and 6 assists. He scored 21 points, 3 rebounds, 32 assists and 2 steals. His goal is to swipe 30+ assists, almost no shot, only a counterattack layup.
The Lakers led 18 points, and there were only 2 minutes left in the game. The Wizards replaced all the main players first, and Tyrone Lu replaced the Big Three.
It was only Guo Xu who enjoyed the cheers from the fans. The home fans shouted “mvp” together. Among active players, this kind of super double-double data can only be played.
Durant is very envious, which is why many people hated him for joining the Lakers. If there is already a superstar in the team, his starlight will be covered by Guo Xu.
In fact, Durant is also a MVP star, but under Guo Xu’s butterfly effect, he failed to get the regular season MVP in the Thunder, only the scoring champion. In the parallel world, Durant who joined the Warriors also won fmvp twice, and his performance is always more stable than Curry. Joining the Lakers, he wanted to rob mvp with Guo Xu almost impossible, Guo Xu is more stable than him.
Kenny Smith commented: “Jason has superstar teammates this season, playing time has shortened, but occasionally playing more than 35 minutes. If he has more playing time, I think this year’s scoring and assists will be him.”
Barkley shook his head: “I think as long as he shoots more, he will also win the first place in the two lists in 32 minutes. It is difficult for other teams to beat the Lakers, mainly because he can stand up at a critical moment. The team needs how he plays. He just plays like he did against the Spurs. “
At the press conference, Guo Xu said that he had no special feelings about the 30+ assists. “I have scored 107 points. Is 32 assists strange? Not to mention my teammates are so powerful.”
Guo Xu paused for a while and smiled: “If I focus on passing every game, my teammates have a great ability to seize the opportunity ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ I think it is not impossible to challenge 20+ assists per game.”
The reporter asked: “Will you try to do this in a future season?”
“Never, last season when I swiped the scoring data, my teammates have sacrificed the ball. If I focus on swiping a certain data, it is a bad thing for the team, the ball is always in my hands, and the cooperation is It ’s not so smooth. Our usual style of play will be stronger. If we want to win the season, we have to play in teams. “
The reporter asked: “You have won 51 straight games. Are you confident of winning the regular season?”
“This is not a question of confidence or confidence. Everyone knows that the Lakers are the strongest. What we have to do is try to be as stable as possible without accidents. Fortunately, we have many scoring points. People with bad conditions have fewer points and are in good shape. There are more people playing, and we can always maintain an excellent state. “
Wall’s expression is very helpless, admitting that he and Guo Xu are very different.
He vowed to use the holiday time to practice shooting after the end of the season. After playing with the Lakers, his biggest impression is that he can become a superstar with a stable shot.
