Legend of Tomorrow

Of course, Guo Xu's physical fitness cannot decline. After undergoing the longevity method and various trainings, his speed, jumping, agility, reaction, and strength are at the top of the league, even first in the league.

For example, Guo Xu's speed is definitely the fastest in the league. He and Wang Jun went to a professional sprint coach in Chicago to have systematic sprint training. With the help of a 1.8m/s tailwind, Guo Xu ran over 9.98 seconds. What is this concept? He can go to the Olympics and probably win the Asian Games.

But Guo Xu is still not as good as Wang Jun, because Wang Jun double cheated in the time loop and used props to train.

His legs are long and his head is tall, and his best time for 100 meters is 9.72 seconds. In the time loop, Wang Jun's speed has entered a mature stage. He is the strongest among people on earth, and he is not far away from being rated as a perfect score.

Guo Xu was fortunate to have seen Wang Jun's performance on the basketball court, that is, in the night against the Bulls. When the fans found a guy on the court who was almost as fast as Bolt, their expressions were very exciting.

Wang Jun proposed to practice sprinting because he planned to participate in the 100 and 200 meters events of the Olympic Games in 2016 and wanted to compete with Bolt. He is in his prime, Bolt has declined, and he is likely to win at the Rio Olympics, mainly depending on his performance on the spot.

Guo Xu didn't try his best during training because he wanted to save some face for Clarkson, Booker, Curry and others. He was afraid that being too serious would suddenly make the young players lose their confidence.

Even with his floor-flowing style, Clarkson was stunned because he had developed a habit of defending aliens alone, and it was easy and enjoyable to deal with earthling defenders.

He has to save face against Mo Williams. He has abused the opponent for N years since he entered the league. Now that he is a teammate and goes all out, Mo will definitely be angry.

In the game, Guo Xu could only accelerate when he found a cover to get rid of the defense, catch the ball or make a misplaced breakthrough.

The next day, the Lakers held a closed training, and all the teammates saw Guo Xu's true strength. He performed a reverse 360-degree turn and dunk with both hands during a steal and fast break, leaving a group of people stunned.

As long as the opponent misses the shot, once Guo Xu is out of position and counterattacks, the inside players can't defend at all. He relies on his speed to get past others with a change of direction.

The coaching staff discovered this and asked Nurkic, Horford and other interior coaches to protect the first pass after the backcourt rebound. As long as the Lakers let Guo Xu catch the ball smoothly and form a one-man fast break, no matter whether the defender he faces is inside or outside, he will have a chance to be invincible in a one-on-one.

Horford's passes are accurate without any practice. He is talented and would pass this kind of ball to his teammates for fast breaks when he was in the Thunder.

Nurkic's first pass was relatively poor.

The advantage is that his strong body can protect backcourt rebounds. His rebounding efficiency was very high in his rookie season, and he had another rebounding madman, Ed Davis, as his partner.

Precisely because Nurkic performed well at the center position, the Lakers let Jordan Hill go in the summer, and the latter joined the Clippers in the same city for 8 million in 2 years. Hill's purpose is also to join a strong team to compete for the championship. It is obvious that he chose the wrong team.

After a week of training, coaches Tyronn Lue and Becky Harmon's self-confidence has also been greatly improved because of Guo Xu. They feel that the Lakers can really compete for the championship in the new season. Few teams can beat the Lakers led by Guo Xu. .

Being the Lakers coach feels so simple, just arrange the defensive tactics and pass the ball to Guo Xu!

Both of them now feel that the coaches of the Solar System, including D'Antoni, are in vain. The most complicated tactics they need to arrange are just inside screens to help Guo Xu catch the ball. The players spread out to form a triangle, and it is enough to shoot in the open space. If the opponent does not double-team Guo Xuba, he will be dead. If he double-teams him, he can die in another way.

On the 6th, the preseason began, and the Lakers' first opponent was the Kings.

Guo Xu still uses floor flow, while the Lakers focus on training, mainly practicing running tactics. Their starting lineup is Guo Xu, Robertson, Carter, Horford, and Nurkic.

The first tactic is that Guo Xu directly holds the ball in the middle and plays a pick-and-roll, and Nurkic cuts through.

If there is no good shot opportunity, Horford runs to the middle to receive the ball and provides support inside. Guo Xu runs and Nurkic receives the ball without the ball on the baseline, forming a triangle with Carter on one side. The inside players double-teamed Guo Xu, and he passed to Nurkic in the low post. The wing players double-teamed Guo Xu, and he passed to Carter for a three-pointer.

These two styles of play are typical superstar tactics. Just leave the ball to Guo Xu and let others stand still and wait for opportunities. No matter how stupid the player is, they can execute the tactics well without causing chaos.

Nurkic broke out this time. The Kings have waived center Baby Shark Bynum, and they lack a good defensive center inside. Guo Xu attracted the defense and passed the ball to the center, whether on the wing or in the center.

Nurkic showed excellent low-post footwork and strength, and his finishing ability deep into the basket was excellent. He is afraid that Guo Xu will not pass the ball to players who are strong and athletic when they encounter such opponents.

Nurkic played 28 minutes and scored 28 points, 12 rebounds, 9 of 14 shots, and 10 of 11 free throws. He looked like an All-Star, and he was also very accurate in free throws after causing fouls.

Guo Xu played 25 minutes and scored 15 points, 13 assists and 2 steals. He did not contribute on both offense and defense for his first training appearance.

The Lakers' lineup has obvious weaknesses. Guo Xu has average outside organizational skills after coming off the court. Clarkson is a singles-oriented player. Mo Williams is in very bad shape. He can hardly break through with the ball and can only rely on shooting to score.

Once Guo Xu and Horford rest, the Lakers will fall into a chaotic battle, with poor offense and defense unable to beat the Kings. Clarkson can score, but his control of rhythm is not up to standard. If he plays shooting guard, he will suffer a lot. His thin body is the reason why he falls to the second round.

Booker and Clarkson are not suitable to play together yet. Both of them are willing to defend but the effect is average. Booker often cannot see Clarkson's movements. He is only a second-year rookie, and it is good if he can score. The coach cannot ask too much of him.

Josh Richardson is also a weak small forward and is easily taught by his opponents.

Substitute insider Bonner has the range to defend the penalty area, Thackeray can defend the offensive end of the penalty area, Harrell can only hit the basket, Boozer cannot keep up with the defender's breakthrough, and it is difficult to defend the interior line who can attack alone.

The Lakers narrowly defeated the Kings 106 to 99. The Kings had a chance to overtake the score. In the end, Guo Xu had gone to rest, but Harden made continuous shots under Robertson's defense.

Robertson is undoubtedly the Lakers' best defensive wing and plays a key role. Without him, the team would not have a wing defensive expert. It doesn't matter if they play against ordinary teams, but they will easily be beaten against teams with super scorers.

In the next six games, Guo Xu continued to be lazy, focusing on organizing offense and trying to get along with his teammates.

Firstly, he wants to help his teammates perform, and secondly, he wants young players to recognize himself and make them more willing to pass the ball to him. Because if Guo Xu doesn't take more actions, this group of people will really not be able to do it.

Guo Xu is the boss of the team. He can play when he wants and rest when he wants. Coach Tyronn Lue also has to listen to him.

Regardless of whether he is leading or lagging behind, Guo Xu only played about 25 minutes. He averaged 23.8 minutes per game, scored 16.2 points, 1.7 rebounds, 12 assists and 2.4 steals, shooting 68.3% from the field, 55.6% from the three-point range, and 100% from the free throw line. .

Under the premise that Guo Xu deliberately let loose on both ends of the offense and defense, the Lakers' record was average, with 3 wins and 4 losses.

The major media reports on the game did not say anything good about the Lakers. They believed that although Guo Xu's organizational ability was strong, his scoring ability was only average on the floor, which would make it difficult for him to lead the team to win.

The scapegoats have all entered their peak period. In fact, Guo Xu just wanted to see them jump around a little more before the game.
