Legend of Tomorrow

During the halftime break, Tyronn Lue emphasized defensive tactics. Everyone defends carefully, grabs the rebound and then passes to Jason. Jason launches a fast break and decides freely whether to shoot or pass. We must try our best to counterattack quickly.

During the offseason dinner, Guo Xu had already stated his idea. His teammates would just hand him the ball, and he could support the entire team's offense.

During training, he impressed all his outside teammates. Even if he faced double teams and didn't pass the ball, he was more efficient in attacking with the ball than others. In the team, he often forced his way out of double teams and used incredible moves to score, like the mid-range shot he just made against Griffin and Hill.

Guo Xu is also preparing to guard Paul seriously. If the Clippers don't want to lose too ugly, they should consider stronger double teams in the second half and won't let him take action easily. In the second half, the Lakers counterattacked more, which made it easier for him to get shots.

After the game started, Paul slowed down the pace. Rivers thought this would make Guo Xu, who wanted to score high points, uncomfortable. However, playing this way will also affect the Clippers' overall offensive efficiency. They only have two strong ball-holding points in positional battles.

Players passed the ball back and forth, with 24 seconds running out, Griffin's mid-range shot missed due to Horford's interference. Nurkic got stuck and Guo Xu grabbed the backcourt rebound. As soon as he dribbled the ball across half court, he was flanked and passed the ball away.

Horford had the opportunity not to shoot a three-pointer, but took it to the free throw line and waited for Guo Xu to run and pass the ball. As soon as Guo Xu received the ball on the right side, Josh Smith and Paul double-teamed.

Guo Xu glanced at Carter but didn't pass. He turned around to find the gap between Paul and Smith, relying on Paul to collect the ball and jump to squeeze out a little space. Smith didn't dare to stick too close to the ball for fear of being fouled, so he raised his hands.

What neither of them expected was that Guo Xu would not pass the ball to his teammates in this situation. He faced the frame and threw the ball hard high to the backboard with one hand and bounced it back.

He couldn't continue carrying the ball after jumping, but after throwing the ball out, he could run as much as he wanted. He showed super explosive power, started to get rid of two people at once, jumped up to catch the rebound ball and picked the basket with his right hand.

Griffin was now a guest center, carrying Nurkic without reacting. Bass played power forward and followed Horford, but he couldn't cover up the defense. Everyone on the Clippers watched as Guo Xu easily made the basketball and scored.

70 to 58, personal 42nd point.

Thackeray started dancing on the sidelines again, a large number of fans stood up and cheered, and the Staples Center was boiling.

Barkley said: Jason didn't want to easily assist his teammates today. He started to use his imagination to break double teams.

Smith lamented: It's too strong. The Clippers tried their best to defend him, but they just couldn't. We haven't seen such a terrifying individual performance in many years.

O'Neal smiled and said: It's not many years, just the two years since he retired.

In order to strengthen the defense, the Clippers sent Smith, who had a poor shooting. Sure enough, he was left open on the outside, aiming for a three-point jumper two seconds later and missed. His shot had a flat arc and bounced far. Nurkicka and Guo Xu picked up another rebound.

He dribbled the ball past half-court and was double-teamed. Carter took the ball and organized it.

Guo Xu ran to the right side under the cover of Nurkic and turned around immediately without pausing. He relied on Paul to get to the basket in the middle and jumped up. He pulled the lever in the air to avoid Griffin's block. He tilted his body slightly and made a backhand with his right hand. Enter the basketball.

72 to 58, personal 44th point.

Paul followed up from the side, but blocking shots was never his strong point, and his jumping ability was even worse than Guo Xu's.

Can't cover it. He felt that today was his nightmare. He didn't even have to think about defeating Guo Xu. It was impossible to win in a one-on-one fight.

Guo Xu's speed is so fast that it is difficult for his opponents to double-team him without the ball, because only defenders can guard him, and the big man cannot keep up with his speed and cannot follow him when running without the ball.

Moreover, Guo Xu started to defend seriously. Paul no longer had an easy shooting opportunity and passed to Griffin after failing to break through.

Griffin forced his way to the basket and was double-teamed. The two Lakers insiders were high and fast, so he had no chance to take a shot and could only pass the ball.

Bass got an open spot on the left baseline and made a mid-range shot.

Bass is 203cm tall and weighs 113kg. He is a short and stocky insider with a tough style of play. He can attack hard and is also good at mid-range jump shots. He is an important signing for the Clippers, but he cannot score every time he is open.

Facing two strong rebounders, Griffin couldn't grab the offensive rebound and was stuck unable to jump.

Horford grabbed the rebound and passed it to Booker. Crawford thought the rookie would pass the ball, but Booker broke through with the ball, successfully changed direction and took the ball to the frontcourt to form a 2-on-2.

Booker attracted Buss to defend and pass the ball to Guo Xu. Guo Xu took the ball and rushed up, jumped up with all his strength, took the ball with both hands and pulled it behind his head, and dunked across the retreating Paul.

He was also drifting in the air, his head was almost flat against the frame, Paul jumped up and failed to interfere, and the referee called a thug foul, 2+1.

Paul was stunned when Guo Xu landed and couldn't believe what just happened.

Did this guy take any stimulants today? Even Rose and Wall are not that fierce, right?

Guo Xu stood on the free throw line, and the fans in the audience shouted MVP! He took a shot and hit the extra free throw, 75-58, his 47th point.

Rivers requested a timeout. He found that Paul, the core of the team, had something wrong with his expression, and planned to replace him for a while. If the fight continued like this, he suspected that Paul's mentality would be seriously affected.

Rivers no longer thinks about winning. He plans to let the players play casually. If they fall behind too much, they will surrender in the last quarter and replace all the main players. In that case, Guo Xu will not be able to continue playing.

As we all know, Guo Xu's biggest enemy of getting good data before retiring is garbage time.

O'Neal lamented: The fans started shouting MVP just in the opening game. Jason is really awesome and beat Paul hard. Because of a wrong decision by the management, Lakers fans have been waiting for this day for 13 years!

Barkley laughed: Paul jumped too low when he was defending. Did he really think he was defending the floor? Jason has won the slam dunk contest. He just doesn't like jumping most of the time. Today he completely let go.

Replacing Paul would mean the Clippers surrendered. Pablo, the substitute, couldn't compete with Guo Xu. When encountering a counterattack, he didn't know what distance to keep from Guo Xu.

Paul sat on the sidelines but didn't ask to play.

In 3 minutes, Guo Xu made consecutive shots during the counterattack, making 2 of 3 three-pointers, and his personal score reached 53 points.

The Clippers double-teamed Guo Xu even when defending fast breaks. He passed the ball again, assisting Carter for a dunk and Booker for a three-pointer.

When the point difference widened to 25 points, the Clippers were in complete chaos. Crawford and Griffin shot continuously. One of them had no touch, and the other had poor choices.

It's obviously not a good idea for Griffin to beat Nurkic, who is much bigger than him. If he doesn't beat him hard, he can't guarantee his shooting percentage. He still rarely shoots three-pointers this season, and his mid-range shots are not accurate.

Paul also started sleepwalking when he came back. He passed the ball after halftime and became a point guard like Fisher. Then he stopped moving on the outside and stood still waiting for opportunities.

He felt desperate after being tortured by Guo Xu, knowing that as long as the opponent defended seriously, he would never be able to get rid of his speed. Regardless of whether he has the ball or not, there is nothing he can do against Guo Xu.

Even if his teammates performed superbly until the fourth quarter, he was still beaten to death. Guo Xu's breathing was very steady, he didn't look tired at all, and he seemed to have no problem playing the whole game.

Guo Xu made a step-back three-pointer against Paul, and a misplaced charge caused Griffin to foul. He made two free throws and scored 18 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists in a single quarter.

He led the Lakers to a 103-76 lead, and the game entered garbage time...
