Legend of Tomorrow

In the Lakers' game against the Mavericks, Guo Xu felt bad and his shooting percentage was very low. He had to suppress his desire to attack and assist the "OK combination".

The Mavericks lineup is not complete, starting point guard Steve Nash missed the game due to injury, the Lakers easily won 112 to 97.

Kobe Bryant made 15 of 28 shots, 1 of 3 3-pointers, 7 of 9 free throws, scored 38 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. O'Neal also had 25 points, 14 rebounds and 3 assists.

Guo Xu played 33 minutes, 4 of 11 shots, 2 of 7 3-pointers, 5 of 8 free throws, and got 15 points and 4 assists. He played a pick-and-roll offense in the second quarter, facing the backup center Shawn Bradley with a 229cm Mavericks height. He made a lot of fouls, but he couldn't even make free throws today.

Even so, Guo Xu performed better than the Mavericks backup point guard Tyrone Lu, who played 2 of 7 shots, 2 of 3 3-pointers, 2 of 3 free throws, and 2 of 2 free throws with only 6 points and 2 assists.

After the game, the Mavericks fans wished to kill Tyrone Lu to sacrifice to heaven. "Lu Yuanwai" himself was even more sad. He felt that the opportunity that should belong to him was snatched by Guo Xu. If there was no such deal, Fisher was injured. He is the beneficiary.

Actually, even if Guo Xu did not join Lakers Tyrone Lu, he would not be able to play. His personal ability was not good. In the second quarter, he could not bear the important task of leading the team to attack.

On the 5th, the Lakers ushered in another national live focus battle, the opponent is the Philadelphia 76ers ranked first in the east.

The 76ers are currently 14 wins and 3 losses, the Lakers 15 wins and 3 losses, only halftime.

The good news is that the 76ers just lost 98 to 105 to the Nuggets in a normal state. The star Iverson played 47 minutes, made 10 of 24 shots, made 2 of 3 3-pointers, 17 of 21 free throws, scored 37 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals.

The overall lineup of the 76ers is not weak. In addition to the star Iverson, there are many famous players.

Forward Tony Kukoc has won three consecutive championships with the Bulls, averaging double figures in seven consecutive seasons, averaged four assists in five seasons, and won the best sixth man award. In the 98-99 season, his stats peaked, averaging 18.8 points, 7 rebounds and 5.3 assists.

The best sixth man contender Aron McGee, averaging 11 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists per game.

Theo-Ratliff is an excellent inside blue-collar, good at anti pick-and-roll and assist defense blocks, similar to the future Thunder Ibaka.

Blue-collar power forward Tyron Hill, was selected as an All-Star in 1995. This man directly hit the "flying pig" Barkley to retire, is a recognized macho.

Starting guard Eric Snow and forward George Lynch are generally offensive and are also excellent defensive players. Especially Snow, he can defend three positions, especially suitable for partnering with Iverson.

76ers coach Larry Brown is a recognized academy iron-blooded coach. The coaching thought is to play in the correct way, and the tactical play is defensive supremacy. Brown is really good at building an "iron barrel formation". The 76ers are currently averaging only 89.4 points per game. Brown has nothing special on the offensive end. He insists on using Iverson as the core and others to assist.

Guo Xu has been waiting for this game for a long time. He wants to see how well he and Pinnacle Iverson can play.

The regular season is in different divisions. The 76ers and Lakers play only two games each year, except for the finals. He wants to use this as a preview of next year's finals, but also a good opportunity to increase popularity.

Iverson played star data in his rookie season, because the team failed to be selected for the All-Star team at the bottom of the previous two seasons. In 1999, the 76ers made the playoffs, but the NBA All-Star Game was canceled due to the lockout. It was not until Iverson was selected for the first time in 2000, but his popularity has long been the top of the league.

In the last two seasons, Iverson is second only to the Raptors flying player Vince Carter in popularity among all outside players, beating Kobe. Guo Xu also liked Iverson very much in his past life. His figure is like an ordinary person but he has won the scoring four times, which is particularly attractive to fans. Even in 2018, Iverson retired for many years and still has many fans.

Unfortunately, Phil Jackson didn't let Guo Xu start, but used the newly-returned veteran Ron Harper to let Bryant defend Iverson.

This is a focus battle, yes, the focus is Kobe VS Iverson, not Jason Guo VS Iverson, the Lakers coaching team also does not trust Guo Xu's defensive ability, he can only obey the coaching arrangements.

Jackson will of course let Guo Xu and Iverson match at a certain time, but this time will not be too long, he hopes that Bryant can play Iverson's misalignment.

In the previous World Finals, Tyron Lu averaged only 14.6 minutes per game. There were very few matches between the two in the entire series. It is nonsense to say that he only defended Iverson, but it is true that the Lakers have a way to limit Iverson with the overall defense. .

According to the statistics, in the four games the Lakers won, Iverson made 121 shots and only scored 48 goals. Of those 73 iron hits, only 9 were lost when facing Tyrone Lu's single defense, and there were 3 more times when Tyron Lu lost his teammates. To put it bluntly, Tyronlu only deserves praise for his defensive enthusiasm.

After the game started, the two teams that both paid attention to the defensive launched a new iron fight.

The 76ers included O'Neal and the Lakers included Iverson, and the goal was to limit the star.

When chatting in the locker room, Guo Xu knew that O'Neill might have a problem today.

Yesterday, O'Neill signed a huge amount of new advertising endorsement contract. In order to celebrate having a candlelight dinner with his girlfriend Shane. With the urinary nature of the fat man, he must definitely fight against Sanli with Shanny at home. It is only because of the rest of the day.

O'Neal really sleepwalked in the first quarter, and he didn't see any advantage in the low-level attack.

Faced with a height of 208CM and a weight of 102 kg, Ratliff ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ O'Neal actually turned around to shoot and hit the iron frequently. Only once he got into the basket with his weight, forced a foul, and made two free throws. He made 0 of 7 shots in the first quarter and 2 of 2 free throws. What he didn't know was that this was the data of outside players.

Iverson's performance was also disappointing. He broke through and was surrounded by two or three Lakers players in the penalty area. He dodged and swept. Every time he forced a layup or jump shot against the person. On several occasions, he was seriously tilted. It's strange that the shot rate can be high when the shot is taken.

Iverson passed the ball out of the periphery. His teammates did not make three-pointers. They managed to bring the ball to the basket and hit the restricted area guarded by the "Big Shark". It looked like he was challenging himself.

Iverson made 2 of 10 shots in the first quarter, made 1 of 3 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, 6 points in a single quarter, no rebounds, no assists.

The best performance of the 76ers is small forward George Lynch. He has a range and can pull away. He scored 8 points on 4 of 5 shots in the first quarter, and three goals were a long-range shot from a three-point line.

Linch's shooting feels hot today, but under the guidance of "famous coach" Larry Brown, he can still insist on not shooting a three-pointer, and he has to take a step in the direction of the basket, which is quite personal.

Guo Xu was replaced in the last two minutes. The outside shot did not enter once, and all the data were zero.

The Lakers were one point behind 17-18 at home, and when the Spurs were judged to be two teams, the audience looked drowsy and yawned.

Guo Xu really wanted to ask what "Zen Master" Jackson thought? Would the Lakers use pick-and-roll tactics like they did with the Spurs? Isn't it good to send a trident to fight? He insisted on using a triangle offense to help Harper find the state without knowing what the picture was. The Spurs can't stop the Lakers' trident, can the 76ers stop it?

"Zen Master" got into trouble again today, let Harper play for 10 minutes, 0 of 2 shots, 1 rebound and 1 assist ...
