Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 1086 [Crazy, Paul is going to be miserable today]

After Griffin hit the pick-and-roll, he cut to catch the ball and stormed, causing Nurkic to foul and missed two free throws.

When returning to defense, Paul gave Griffin a death glare, but the latter showed no expression at all.

ESPN has selected the league's top five death stare players, and Paul is the only point guard on the list. He has a crazy desire to win, and his persistence in winning is as strong as any star in the league, and he is used to being strict with his teammates.

Jamal Crawford once said in an interview that he has never seen such a direct and abusive team leader.

I was really shocked. I found that he was a guy who dared to train people in person, but he didn't want to humiliate anyone, but did it for the good of the team. He had no other intentions. I played almost 10 games with him , I understood. He is always talking and communicating with his teammates. I personally like this very much. Of course, I cannot represent the opinions of others.

Others are referring to Griffin, who was very excited to welcome Paul at first, but their cooperation was not without conflicts. Some people on the team feel that Paul's attitude does not work for Griffin. It is not that they are at odds, but that their personalities do not match. Paul is like a ball of fire, while Griffin is very calm, which makes him look out of place on the court.

The Lakers attacked, Guo Xu moved to the left to get the ball, Paul pursued the defense with all his strength, and Rivers let go of Booker's double team.

Guo Xu glanced at Booker but didn't pass it. He dribbled the ball with his crotch, collected the ball behind his back, jumped and changed direction and passed through the gap between the two. He half-turned at the free throw line, jumped up and shot backwards, avoiding Paul's block and scoring the ball. .

25 to 12, personal 20th point.

Thackeray danced wildly on the sidelines and his movements were very funny.

Just after 7 minutes, coach Rivers had no choice but to call another timeout. How could he break through the double-team Guo Xuqiang even though he scored? The Clippers couldn't defend, and their offense was also affected. They must blossom more to have any hope of winning.

Barkley said: This ball has been defended in place. Jason made a shot when he had a little gap. Paul couldn't do anything.

O'Neal said: Why do I feel that he has become even better after retiring?

Smith said: Maybe he hasn't played for too long and his desire to score has become stronger? He used to be lazy.

This is the biggest achievement of Guo Xu's practice in the cycle. His movements are somewhat deformed and he can still maintain the feel. If he didn't throw it randomly like this, it would be difficult for him to avoid Wang Jun's block. He was often double-teamed during training with the Kings, and he practiced the vicious style of not passing the ball and forcing shots to break double-teams.

At the end of the game, Guo Xu and his teammates celebrated by high-fiving each other. Everyone laughed happily, and the morale of the home team was high.

Guo Xu's way of playing is very demoralizing for his opponents. The Clippers must strengthen double-teaming to limit his performance, and the Clippers players' defensive ability is really poor.

The Clippers have no defensive experts except Paul this season, and the best wing defender is Wesley Johnson.

Pierce and Ci Shiping are the slowest small forwards in the league. Rivers Jr. is 193cm tall and weighs 91kg. He has poor confrontation as a shooting guard. Crawford is known for being strong offensively and weak defensively, and is only suitable as a sixth man. Josh Smith is more like a power forward, and his shooting is so bad that Rivers doesn't want to use him.

In fact, the Clippers' lineup only has well-known players, but the overall strength is not strong. It is difficult to reach the first round of the playoffs. They also have problems with defense in the penalty area, and the team is missing blue-collar DeAndre Jordan. Although Jordan's free throw shooting is terrible, his defense is definitely better than Hill and Varejao.

The Clippers made substitution adjustments, with Johnson playing and Pierce resting. This was a sacrifice of offense to strengthen defense.

The Lakers also made substitutions, with Booker taking the small forward position and Seth Curry coming on to replace Carter. Tyronn Lue is also a thoughtful coach. He believes that Seth's matchup with Rivers will not become a black hole. The two are about the same size and Seth's three-pointer is very accurate.

The game continued. Rivers dribbled behind Seth and passed Seth who had just come on the court. He broke through and scored a layup. 25 to 14.

The Lakers attacked, and the Clippers began to attack Guo Xu resolutely. Guo Xu relied on the width of the court to protect the ball with skillful skills on the outside. Paul and Griffin could not steal it.

When Guo Xu was practicing breaking out of double teams, one of the defenders was Wang Jun. Paul was famous for his defense, but there was still a gap between him and Wang Jun's iron-clad defense. Wang Jun's defense is practiced through hacking and cheating. He is a virtual person who defends against the computer. The system can simulate various offensive methods. He almost never resorts to fake moves.

Guo Xu distributed the ball to Horford to organize, and he ran without the ball. Griffin returned, and he could not let Horford shoot. Although Horford averages less than 20 points per game, he is accurate in mid-range shooting, with a shooting percentage of about 50%. Last season, he also shot 49.4% of two-pointers.

Many people think Horford is a softie because he rarely gets to the basket and makes free throws. In fact, his style of play plays a very important role in tactics. It is similar to Garnett's style of play during his time with the Celtics, and their statistics are similar.

Back then, the Celtics gave up half of their team in exchange for Garnett, and the Lakers only traded D'Argent for Horford. As long as he wasn't injured, they made a lot of money.

Guo Xu slid to the left baseline to find a cover and caught the ball from the right baseline. Horford's passing timing was perfect because he didn't care about others and only looked for Guo Xu.

This time Guo Xu caught the ball without any feint and made a three-pointer.

Paul was shaken three times by Guo Xu, thinking that he would break through again with the ball. He slowed down after chasing him and didn't take off immediately. He realized that Guo Xu was pulling out and had no time to block the shot.

Guo Xu's three-pointer from the bottom corner hit the net, his 23rd point, 28-14.

O'Neal smiled and said: Paul is going to be in trouble today. He can't guard him one-on-one. I feel like Jason will have to score 30 points in a single quarter.

Barkley said: I don't know which two guards will be selected for the best defensive team this season. If Jason doesn't score more than 50 points alone, it probably counts as a good defense. Paul is in the best defensive team almost every year.

At this time, Smith said: Jason lost his guard again. He didn't expect that his opponent would still be in garbage time in the first battle after his comeback. He was afraid that he would win too quickly.

Guo Xu retreated two meters inside the three-point line, with his hands behind his back. He is a Buddhist defense that will never be fouled. Paul hit a jumper, his third three-pointer of the game, 28-17.

Paul's face was ugly after scoring the goal. He had not been despised like this for a long time. This was not just a basketball game, it was a mental attack. His lungs were about to explode. It was completely different from what he had imagined last night.

Guo Xu passed the ball across half court and started running again. Horford attracted the defense in the middle and passed to Seth on the right side, who then passed to Guo Xu who ran to the bottom corner.

Paul is always slower when pursuing defense with all his strength. Guo Xu is faster than him. Even if he gets around the screen immediately, it is impossible to prevent Guo Xu from catching the ball. The Lakers players formed a triangle on the strong side. To double-team Guo Xu, the wing players had to come up. When Varejao came out to double-team, the basket was empty.

Guo Xu held the ball and moved laterally to beat Paul in singles. Rivers rushed forward to double-team him at a 45-degree angle. Guo Xu passed the ball behind his right hand at a 70-degree angle. Curry caught the ball and threw it, hitting an open three-pointer.

31 to 17, Guo Xu’s second assist.

Stephen Curry won the regular season MVP again, while Seth was undrafted in the 2013 draft and could only hang out in the Development League. He worked part-time in the first two seasons of his career and played a total of 8 games for the Grizzlies, Cavaliers, and Kings.

There is a big gap in reputation and strength between the two brothers, but when it comes to three-point shooting, Seth is not inferior to Stephen. They were taught by the same father. If the Curry family is shorted, they will definitely make a shot.

Rivers felt confused on the sidelines. Paul and Guo Xuzhen were not stars of the same level.

Guo Xu is invincible in singles. If you want to build a team around him, you only need to arrange two stable shooting points around him. The Lakers have more than two three-pointers...
