Legend of Tomorrow

Guo Xu and his girlfriend stayed at home for two weeks and participated in the Lakers' media day event for the new season on the 29th.

The Lakers Media Day has not been so lively in 10 years. Reporters from all over the world flocked to the Staples Center. Many people tried their best to get a reporter's seat to interview Guo Xu at close range.

As soon as Guo Xu appeared, he killed everyone instantly, showing his superstar style.

He has long stopped being the spokesperson for the Chevrolet Camaro. This year’s new car is a Grand Sport Vitesse La Finale. This is the last of the Bugatti Veyron series launched at the auto show in March this year, which heralds this generation of Veyron models. It's officially over.

Because of his acquaintance with Amber Heard, Guo Xu has also done some research on cars. If he buys this super luxury car, he can not only drive it, but also collect it in the future. It uses a red and black body paint, a red part is added to the taillight housing, and the words La Finale are painted on the front bumper and rear spoiler.

This car is also the king among sports cars and is worthy of Guo Xu’s status. He intends to create the feeling of the return of the king in the new season.

Wearing a crisp custom-made blue suit, paired with endorsed glasses, a watch, a tie, and leather shoes, he walked into the arena fully armed. His momentum was so strong (pretended) that his teammates felt a little ashamed of themselves.

Is he here to play ball? No matter how you look at it, it looks like the Gentleman Agent is moving its base from the tailor shop to the Staples Center.

After Guo Xu greeted his teammates, he first took core makeup photos.

A very embarrassing thing happened. The Lakers couldn't afford three stars. Apart from Guo Xu, only Horford could barely be considered a star and was only selected to the All-Star Game once. The other players are either too young or veterans whose condition has seriously declined.

Lakers chief doctor Gary Vitti is a serious, responsible and extremely stubborn old man, and he is determined not to allow Bosh to return. Last season, Bosh suffered a blood clot in his lungs and was hospitalized. He looked like he was about to die while lying in the hospital bed. This disease is difficult to recover from, and blood clots may also occur in other parts of his body.

Moreover, according to the labor agreement, the team can apply for injury delisting one year after the player's last game. The Lakers have the right to apply for injury delisting next season, allowing Bosh to play half of the season this year. This time will Postponed.

In the parallel world, the Heat allowed Bosh to play for half a season. This was actually a very irresponsible behavior by the medical team. They did not conduct examinations until Bosh felt uncomfortable. He was lucky and nothing serious happened, but it was entirely possible that he died on the field if he was unlucky.

Later, at the press conference regarding Bosh's retirement, many people expressed regret.

There are also many people who criticize the Heat management for being inhumane. Only Japanese reporters felt that Bosh was too fragile and didn't love basketball enough. There is a man named Misugi Chun in our country...

Japanese reporters were kicked out of the press conference by security guards. Even adults cannot understand the passion of elementary school students risking their lives to play a football match.

If Jun Misugi were a black American, he would suddenly collapse on the football field and require a heart transplant to save his life. The high cost of the operation far exceeded the coverage of his family's medical insurance. After several unsuccessful attempts to communicate with his father, the hospital director decided to remove them from the waiting list for transplants.

This move angered his father. He angrily broke into the hospital's emergency room with a gun, kidnapped innocent medical staff and patients as hostages, and demanded that the hospital operate on his son immediately. This is a battle of humanity that challenges morality and law. In the end, the father was nominated for an Oscar, starring Denzel Washington.

In short, Bosh will not be able to play this season. He did not come to the media day. It is useless for him to be dissatisfied and can only recuperate at home.

Tyronn Lue, who suddenly became the head coach, didn't know who to arrange to take the core makeup photos. He looked at Guo Xu eagerly, with an expression that clearly said: Boss, you make up your mind. Whoever you want to be the core will be the core.

When Guo Xu said I'll shoot it myself, Tyronn Lue would also say that this was very reasonable.

Guo Xu selected second-year rookies Nurkic and Horford on the inside, and veteran Vince Carter on the outside. He will become the Lakers' starting small forward in the new season, with experience and three-point shooting.

Nurkic's statistics in the new season are almost the same. This is determined by the Lakers' tactics. Guo Xu especially likes to play pick-and-rolls. In the triangle offense, he attracts double-teams and can also pass to flank teammates or Nurkic in the low post.

Nurkic has the potential to become a second-rate star center. His broad body is very suitable for covering teammates, and he has good low-post footwork and can attack the basket. Although his efficiency is average, at least he is not a pure blue-collar offensive end.

On the defensive end, Nurkic is an excellent human shield and can withstand most insiders with his weight. The disadvantage is that he lacks athletic ability and is easily defeated in pick-and-rolls, so he will not play too much time.

Last season, he averaged 18 minutes per game, scoring 7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.8 steals and 1.1 blocks, while shooting only 44.6% from the field. It's big news that such a player is taken as the core for photos, and it proves how miserable the Lakers' lineup is.

Carter smiled happily when taking a group photo. He felt that this was Guo Xu's respect for him. Although he has a poor record leading the team and has never been a qualified team leader, he has been selected to the All-Star 8 times.

Entering the media interview session, Guo Xu once again reiterated his goals for the new season. My only goal is to win the championship. I have never missed the conference finals since I debuted. Why do so many people doubt me when I say I want to compete for the championship?

A reporter said: Because the Lakers' lineup for the new season is really weak.

Guo Xu smiled and said: I think the most important thing about the lineup is the rationality, not the reputation of the players. When I first joined the Suns, the only famous player was Marion. My current strength is definitely stronger than that in the third season of my career. The Suns played in a tiebreaker with the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals and almost won the championship. Why can't I lead the Lakers to win the championship this year?

After hearing what he said, reporters began to feel that the Lakers were not weak. Compared with the 2002-03 season when the Suns were struggling to make a comeback, is the Lakers lineup really that bad? The Lakers have veterans, three-point shooting points, and superstar leadership.

Without Guo Xu, the Lakers would indeed be a bottom lineup, but it would be different with him.

The 76ers had gone through a lot of recruiting trouble before. When the manager said in an interview that his goal was just to return to the playoffs, reporters felt that Guo Xu was very arrogant. But there is a huge gap in the core capabilities of the two teams, and they shouldn't be compared like this.

The reporter asked: Who do you think the Lakers' biggest competitors are?

Isn't this obvious? The Nets, Warriors, Spurs, their lineups are very strong, and it is difficult for other teams to compete.

The reporter asked: What about the Clippers? What do you think of our competitors in the same city?

I don't think the Clippers are a strong opponent, not even an opponent. Guo Xu said with a smile.

He is too lazy to praise the Clippers, his record speaks for itself. This team has made the playoffs every year, reaching the second round at most. In a parallel world, the Clippers were the closest to the Western Conference Finals last season. They were reversed by the Rockets with a 3-1 lead.

They signed a lot of people this summer, including Josh Smith, who was waived by the Hawks. Many experts are optimistic about their championship and believe that the Clippers are good.

Guo Xu didn't think there was anything great about people like Josh who couldn't practice long-distance shooting in 10 years. He is a person who relies on counterattacks, but Paul is a point guard who stays firmly in position. It is so inconsistent.

In the summer, the Lakers invited Josh to join with a minimum salary, but he refused. Then he rejected other teams that were willing to offer him a high salary. He joined the Clippers with a minimum salary, which was not suitable for his style.

Obviously, this person’s IQ and golf quotient are not much higher...
