Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 1090 [He takes the lone hero route]

President Adam Silver was a little confused after reading the news. This was not the Los Angeles Derby he wanted. What he is looking forward to is a close game, with two star point guards facing off. The attention and ratings of the two teams will skyrocket, and then they can pop the champagne to celebrate.

Now only Guo Xu is in the limelight, and both the Clippers and Paul have been suppressed to death. Guo Xu's popularity is higher than before he retired because he has taken the lone hero route, and he is a true hero, not a lone blacksmith.

Xiao Hua doesn't want one star to suppress everyone. Guo Xu's performance this time was too strong. If he continues to be this strong all season long, it will be detrimental to the league's plans to win stars in the future.

After all, Guo Xu will be 35 years old after this season. How many more years can he play in the future? And when he retires again, the NBA will definitely enter a state of having no successors, and the gap between the new stars and him is too big.

Some NBA basketball experts who like to study players' physical fitness said after watching the game that they felt like a dream.

Guo Xu's opening game and preseason are two extremes. He hardly jumped in the preseason. What level of jumping does he show now? Although his head is not flat yet, it is not far off. Based on his height, the maximum jumping height is about 120cm.

what does that mean? Guo Xu's jumping ability may be the best in the NBA currently, and it can also be ranked first in the entire NBA history.

According to recorded data, Michael Jordan's run-up jump is only 116CM, LeBron James and Vince Carter are 111CM, and Kobe is 105CM. Last season's dunk king Zach LaVine was 116cm, and Nate Robinson's maximum bounce was 110cm during the physical test. It should have increased a bit later, but it is difficult to reach 120cm.

NBA legend Potato Spot-Webber's maximum jump of 133cm is listed in the Guinness World Records. In fact, recorded data shows that Webber's jump was only 120cm, which was slightly better than Jordan at the time.

Scientific experiments have proven that no one in the world can jump more than 135cm straight up during run-up. Webber can't jump better than the world champion in high jump, right? Therefore, Weber's 133cm is 80% the same as Boykins' bench press of 140kg. They are both records created by fans through their mouths.

Guo Xu's cheating practice in the time loop was so ridiculous that the training system scan only scored 92.5.

Wang Jun is stronger, with an evaluation of 97.2 points, and a maximum jump of about 130CM. By practicing the cross-over style, he will be able to participate in the Olympic high jump competition in the future. If he performs well, he may win a medal.

When Wang Jun takes off with all his strength, it feels like a dunk with special effects, and his dunks often spiral into the sky. Guo Xu is limited by his height and cannot turn 720 degrees to dunk.

During the break,

There are still many fans talking about Booker on the Internet, believing that he has a future, and Guo Xu is very accurate in judging people.

Based on Guo Xu's evaluation, Booker's popularity cannot be lowered during his rookie season. Booker has now become Guo Xu's biggest brother, taking the initiative to help carry bags and asking Guo Xu for technical advice.

Clarkson also accepted Guo Xu's guidance, but he couldn't win a duel with Booker.

Clarkson has more breakthrough tricks, and if the confrontation is too close, he is destined to be no match for Booker. His three-point shooting is also unstable, not as good as several outside teammates, and only better than Robertson.

This is not a trivial matter. Clarkson has already considered leaving, even though the season has just begun.

He knows that he and Booker have similar styles. Only one of them can play well this season, and the other will not have a lot of playing time. Rookie Josh Richardson will also get some playing time. He is good at playing without the ball.

Clarkson's style of play is very awkward, with strong offense and weak defense. His stature is also awkward. He is a bit short for a shooting guard. His ball-handling ability is enough to serve as a point guard but he is too selfish. This person is not suitable to partner with Guo Xu.

This season is a contract year for him. If he can't produce good data, next year's big contract will be on hold.

Which is more important, a championship or a high-paying long-term contract? For Clarkson, a second-round pick, a big contract is important. Only by playing on a bad team can he be reused and produce better data.

Other teams have also appeared one after another, some have become stronger, and some have weakened significantly.

Strong teams such as the Warriors, Nets, and Spurs have all successfully defeated their opponents. The Magic, Raptors, Cavaliers and other teams did not perform much in the first game and won.

The performance of Cavaliers 175CM point guard Isaiah Thomas was very eye-catching. He scored 41 points and 6 assists in the first game, leading the team to defeat the Celtics 112-95.

Jimmy Butler joined the Pacers for 70 million in four years. The Suns did not match the contract. This was a premium contract. Butler was only a substitute in the Suns.

The Pacers immediately became stronger. Butler scored 35 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists in the first game. He can shoot suddenly and has a core style of play. He helped the team defeat the Mavericks 107-100 in the first game, and singled out the best rookie Wiggins.

The Suns' lineup has further weakened. In the summer, they renewed Brandon Roy's contract at a lower price. Almost everyone applauded, thinking that it was great that Roy was willing to take a significant salary cut in the context of the league's collective salary increase.

As a result, Roy began to decline at the age of 31 and played very poorly in the preseason. In the opening game, he made 2 of 13 shots, 3 of 4 free throws, and only scored 7 points and 4 assists.

Relying on the help of the Sun Miracle Doctor, Roy still performed well last season, but his knees have been wearing out, his breakthroughs are getting fewer and fewer, and he is taking more and more shots. In fact, Roy knew that he could no longer stand it, and the Suns management also knew it, so he took a salary cut to stay with the team. This season, the core of the team became Klay Thompson.

The biggest weakness of the Suns is the lack of point guards. Jeremy Lin can barely make the starting lineup, and his performance is really average.

The Suns also have problems inside. Brian Colangelo and Hassan Whiteside have signed big contracts and are unwilling to let go of the center star trained by their team. Whiteside's statistics are beautiful, but it is difficult for him to help the team win.

He averaged 14 points, 11.4 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game last season, but he did not have the ability to attack independently on the offensive end and relied heavily on the passing of teammates. On the defensive end, he has excellent statistics and poor defensive awareness. He is often fouled by opponents when defending alone. His ability to cover up and assist defense is overestimated. As the core of the inside, he has brought the Suns' defense to the bottom of the league.

In the first game, the Suns lost 103 to 125 to the Grizzlies without Gasol.

Suns fans miss Guo Xu very much now. A comparison of the current situation of the two teams makes Guo Xu even more great. The team immediately weakened when he left, and the team he joined immediately became stronger, without exception.

The 76ers defeated the Bulls 98-97 on the road. Kobe Bryant hit the buzzer-beating mid-range shot. The Komies celebrated the holidays.

However, the scene of this game was very ugly, with the core players on both sides competing against each other.

Kobe played 30 minutes, making 8 of 24 shots, 3 of 13 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, shooting 33.3% from the field, 23.1% from the three-point range, and scored 24 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist.

The Bulls' Derrick Rose was not to be outdone. He made 8 of 22 shots, 0 of 2 three-pointers, 2 of 4 free throws, and scored 18 points, 1 rebound and 5 assists.

The 76ers' victory relied on more blooming. Five players on the team scored in double figures. Substitute Kemba Walker played 27 minutes and made 6 of 13 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 21 points and 2 assists.

Jokic only played 4 minutes and scored 2 points on 1-of-1 shooting. Coach Brett Brown prefers to reuse DeAndre Jordan. In this game, DeAndre Jordan scored 12 points, 21 rebounds and 2 blocks.

The 76ers' tactic is whoever gets the ball plays. Russell, the second overall pick, started for 26 minutes, making 2 of 7 shots, 0 of 3 three-pointers, no free throws, and scored 4 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

Russell disappointed everyone. He was the one responsible for carrying the ball through half the court. The only bright spot was guarding Rose.

In fact, he didn't even know why he was so good at guarding. He just stretched out his hand and the opponent struck...
