Legend of Tomorrow - Chapter 1232
On September 26, the Lakers will debut on the new season media day.
Journalists rushed to Los Angeles for interviews. The overall popularity of the Lakers is no match for the team. The better the Lakers, the worse the Clippers. After Chris Paul left, he almost fell to the point of no one.
Maybe Paul can’t lead the Clippers to the Western Conference finals, but after Paul? The Clippers may have to fight for the playoffs. Griffin is definitely not a qualified leader.
Five Lakers players took core photos together, Guo Xu, Devin Booker, Durant, Horford, Adams.
From this point, we can see that those players who want to wait for Guo Xu to leave to join the Lakers with high salary will definitely fail. This is the third season of Booker’s career. The team will talk to him about renewal in advance next summer. It is impossible to let him go.
The Lakers’ main gimmick is the last season of Guo Xu’s legendary career.
In an interview, Guo Xu once again affirmed this. “I will retire, even if the Lakers have the possibility of four or five consecutive championships, I will not participate. I do not want to repeat what I have done, the future belongs to young people.”
The reporter asked: “Which team do you think the Lakers’ biggest competitor this season?”
“Warriors, Nets, Spurs, 76ers, Bucks, etc., these teams have the opportunity to beat us. I mean to win one game in the regular season, there is no competition in the finals unless our team hurts no one. Otherwise, it is impossible to lose four games in a series. “Guo Xu said confidently.
He is not bragging, compared to last season’s victory has been very low-key.
Other players interviewed, also expressed confidence that the team will successfully defend the establishment of the dynasty. After winning a winning streak for a season, they have forgotten the taste of losing and are confident.
In the preseason, the Lakers players showed invincible strength, and it was easy for anyone to win. Guo Xu can get a lot of points by reducing the shot, and Durant can also drive his teammates with the ball.
Newcomer Tyreke Evans performed better than Wade in the Lakers last season. He played 31 minutes in the preseason, averaging 19.7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.2 assists. He shot 47.2% from the field and made 3s from the field. 40%, looks like an All-Star.
Of course he is not an All-Star, playing well because of the low defense intensity. When he came off the bench, he had the right to play with the ball. He played with Guo Xu and Durant. He was often the target of being shorted.
Once air defense, most nba players are shooting accurately.
Calderon and Van Fleet defenders performed equally well outside the three-point line. The field goal percentage was more than 40%. When Guo Xu rested, they played together and played double guards to organize offense.
Horford and Durant casually put on a substitute lineup, plus the organized ability of Evans and Calderon, the Lakers ball runs very fast and can play a pass and cut cooperation.
The Lakers won 7 games in the preseason and ranked first in the official strength list.
Guo Xu didn’t shoot much, averaging only 20 minutes, averaging 14.3 points and 7 assists. After the game, no one media questioned his strength. Everyone knows he is not serious, just looking for feelings.
Espn announced the ranking of players this season, Guo Xu is still ranked first, everyone believes that as long as he takes it seriously, he is the mvp that will do his part.
The opponents of the Lakers’ home opener in the regular season are the Warriors. Adam Xiao Hua thinks this arrangement is very gimmicky. Anyway, the Warriors have lost terribly in the playoffs for two consecutive years. It doesn’t matter if they lose more points in the regular season.
Ranked second is the Nets team, also 7 wins in preseason. After Paul joined the Nets, the outside strength of the Nets has improved significantly. There are two pitchers on the flanks. Gallinari and James can pull out shots with the striker.
The Nets’ weak line is not a problem, as long as the players can cut off and eat cakes. Aron Baines was not a simple blue-collar player when he played, and he occasionally received a shot from the screen after covering, and his shooting percentage was not low.
Ranked third is the Warriors, leaving Green, came Mirotich with a longer range. Gobert can make up for the vacancy that Green left. The reason for the trade is because they overlap defensively. Gobert’s restricted area is better and Green’s defense is more comprehensive.
The Sixers ranked fourth with 6 wins and 1 loss, leaving Gallinari little impact, Joe Ingles shot higher last season. The rookie show Jaylen Brown should be in position after a season of training, and Gallinari must give up his starter.
The Spurs are the ones that have fallen sharply, with 3 wins and 4 losses in the preseason. After joining, Guy reduced his shots and put more energy on the defensive end, showing average performance.
The Spurs’ core Kawhi Leonard is still recovering from injury and has not played in the preseason. Recently, teammate Ginobili said in an interview that Leonard has never completed training with the team and his return date is undecided.
After reading the news, Guo Xu knew that Leonard was going to be out of luck. Eighty percent of him would rest for a whole season like a parallel world, and then he was traded after falling down with the Spurs management.
In the parallel world, the Spurs sent Leonard to the Raptors, which is still a competitive team. Now that DeRozan is not on the Raptors, he has just been traded to the Pelicans by the Hornets. God knows where Leonard will be next.
Before the opener began, online fans discussed that they were all optimistic about the Lakers’ victory. Unsurprisingly, the Lakers won 133 to 112, and the Warriors never led once.
Like last season, Guo Xu broke through Curry again and again. The position warriors can also guard against it. The counterattack is to watch Guo Xu performance. Curry one-on-one is like defending a black hole.
Curry’s offensive end is not very efficient, the Lakers will include him, let the role players shot. He made 8 of 18 shots, 3 of 9 3-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and 21 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.
Guo Xu played 34 minutes, 12 of 18 shots, 4 of 8 3-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, got 34 points, 2 rebounds and 11 assists.
Did not practice the ball throughout the holiday, Guo Xu’s shooting feel is indeed not as good as last season, but he will adjust, increase the breakthrough to play two points and pass. Six of the Lakers scored in double figures, the others did not score 20+.
Durant has an advantage ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ He is selfless and will not compete for the boss, even if Guo Xu is in a bad state, he will control the number of shots, just strive for high efficiency. Both he and Guo Xu can help each other to hit the hit rate, is a major feature.
At the post-match press conference, the reporters asked the two teams to evaluate each other, and specifically mentioned Curry’s age. After this season, Curry, a baby face, is also 30 years old.
This successor is really sad enough to remind him that he will become a veteran in a few years, and he still cannot compare with Guo Xu.
The reporter asked Guo Xu: “Your age is about the same as when Jordan retired for the second time, and his condition remains better than him. How did you do it?”
“Practice Chinese Kung Fu to maintain health, with some breathing and breathing, this is really effective and can delay aging. Megan and Alex also learned this from me, and I think they will watch without using botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid It looks younger, “Guo Xu smiled.
He deliberately revealed a little information, because he did age slowly. If he looked like a young man when he was 50 years old, he would definitely get a lot of attention as a public figure. At that time, he intends to push all of this to Chinese Kung Fu. Anyway, Kung Fu also has health tips.
The reporter asked: “How did you plan to spend the last season?”
“I will try my best to play every game and fight for every fan who supports us. When training, I will teach the young players the experience and help them become stronger. I hope that after I retire, the Lakers can continue to maintain the company. crown.”
