Legend of Tomorrow

The Kings attacked, Harden held the ball and singled out Seth Curry, and made another step-back jumper against the defense. 12 to 13.

As long as the players of his team can still score, coach George Karl will not consider calling a timeout, which is exactly what Guo Xu wants.

Karl is an offensive coach. When he coached the Nuggets, he not only teamed up with Iverson and Anthony as the golden guns, but also asked Iverson and Stupid Bird Anthony Carter to start as two guards to form a super colander backcourt. .

He didn't seem to care at all what data Guo Xu played, or what Rondo was exposed to. After the game, he only needed to criticize Rondo a few words. This is all a player's problem. Double-team your opponent? what is that?

When he joined the Kings, Karl made an astonishing statement. He said: A bad offense means a bad defense. If the Kings don't have a better offense, they can't make progress.

Judging from this argument, Karl probably can only win the championship if he coaches Guo Xu. Both of them believe that offense is the best defense. The difference is that even Guo Xu will choose a blue-collar player like Robertson as a teammate, while the Kings have no defensive experts.

When the Lakers attacked, Guo Xu passed the ball first, then ran to the weak side to get the ball.

Tyronn Lue's tactic is to give the ball to Jason Guo. In order to cooperate with him in singles, Seth and Carter moved to the left, with Horford in the middle. After Nurkic provided Guo Xu with a ball-free baseline cover, the formation completely opened up.

Guo Xu caught the ball from the baseline and feinted. Rondo quickly caught up with him. Guo Xu took a step to the left and dribbled the ball to his right hand from his crotch, as if he was trying to break through the baseline.

Rondo hurried to an emergency stop and moved his center of gravity slightly to the left. Guo Xu collected the ball behind his right hand and stepped sideways to a 45-degree angle to quickly take a shot and score on the board. 14 to 13.

Rondo was shaken away, and his jump was half a beat too slow to cover him.

Guo Xu scored all the Lakers' points in the opening game alone, and Rondo was now in a panic.

Why haven't you called a timeout yet? Why hasn't anyone come forward to help double-team? Does the coach want me to die?

An extremely embarrassing situation occurred on the court. Karl wanted the players to adjust on their own, but the coach did not call a timeout. The two swingmen of the Kings had no intention of actively assisting in defense.

Harden often misses people in one-on-one defense. He can only get by with his ability to defend against the ball. He is good at defending without the ball without losing focus. How about assisting in defense?

Solomon Hill is not a defensive expert either.

No one knows what his specialty is. His shooting percentage is very low, he lacks the ability to handle the ball and often makes mistakes. He has no organization, no rebounds, nothing. He can only rely on the number of shots he takes in exchange for scoring data. Last season, he averaged 29 minutes per game as a starter, scoring 8.9 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists, and shooting 39.6% from the field.

Why would such a player become a starter? Maybe it's just because he has good physical fitness and occasionally performs dunks.

Harden grabbed Seth's point and attacked fiercely, which was an opportunity. Seth kept his distance to prevent breakthroughs. Harden dribbled the ball from his hip, took a step-back jumper and made another three-pointer. 14 to 16.

Yu Jia commented: Harden has mastered step-back shooting skills. His main scoring methods are three-pointers and breakthroughs. He often goes to the basket for layups or draws fouls, rarely makes mid-range shots, and his scoring efficiency is very high.

Zhang Lili said: Today's game was great. Harden scored 13 points and Guo Xu 14 points. The inside players of the two teams have not yet shot the ball, and the stars have been competing against each other.

Yu Jia said: One thing is obvious now. No matter who it is, it is impossible to limit Guo Xu with one-on-one defense. He just abused Paul last game, and today he played casually against Rondo. Without double-teaming, he can really play the same game and score six points. , seventy points.”

The Chinese fans watching the live broadcast are very excited. This game is likely to produce super data, and they will be very happy.

Guo Xu passed the ball across the half court and started running. He circled around to catch the ball on the right side. This time Hibbert switched to the outside. Guo Xu did not make any fake moves after receiving the ball. He changed direction with the ball and walked to the middle. He easily passed the tall and bulky Hibbert with his speed.

Rookie power forward Stan is inexperienced and follows Horford without making up the defense. Guo Xu drove straight in from the middle, jumped high, and made a very stretched windmill slam dunk. 16 to 16.

Yu Jia shouted: Beautiful! Guo Xu's ball turned the bead curtain upside down, the eagle struck the sky, struck east and west, hit both sides, and soared into the sky.

Karl finally asked for a timeout. The assistant coach told him that the game had only started at 4 minutes and 22 seconds. Guo Xu had already scored 16 points in a row and missed a shot. If this continues, the Kings may lose very ugly, allowing Guo Xu to score more than 100 points in a single game. , a historical record.

No matter how little Karl pays attention to defense, he doesn't want to be the backdrop for his opponents to break historical records.

The game continued with no substitutions on either side. Karl emphasized the tactic of double-teaming Guo Xu and left the offense to Harden.

The Lakers turned to Carter to defend Harden. He is tall and has excellent jumping. Harden stepped back and faced the opponent and shot a three-pointer too easily. He bounced out of the frame under interference.

Guo Xu attracted a double-team from the outside and passed to Carter. The latter's open three-pointer was his first shot of the game and missed the basket.

The attack was not over yet. Nurkic grabbed the offensive rebound and tipped the ball wide. Horford grabbed another offensive rebound and separated the ball from the outside.

Coach Carr yelled at the players on the sidelines and was very dissatisfied with the protection of rebounds by the inside players. There's no point in shouting. If Hibbert could grab a lot of rebounds due to his height, his nickname wouldn't be Gao Yuanyuan. He would at least have some statistics last season.

Guo Xu attracted double-teams from the outside and immediately passed the ball, not to Carter, who was open, but to Horford.

Why does Guo Xu say that the two of them work together best? Horford is a very selfless person. He is so selfless that he is willing to help the team leader brush up the statistics and pass the ball to his teammates who are open and they will take action 80% of the time.

The teammates all pulled apart, and Guo Xu slipped the baseline and got rid of Rondo under the cover of Nurkic. He received Horford's pass in the left corner and immediately took action.

The two big men stood on the baseline, and the running space was reduced. Rondo couldn't get around it immediately. After being blocked for a second, there was nothing he could do. Guo Xu is one of the fastest players in the league, taking only about 0.3 seconds. He is rarely blocked.

Guo Xu was well prepared to catch the ball, his rhythm was perfect, and the ball hit the net hollowly. 19 to 16.

Guo Xu ran to the side where Harden was, and the latter didn't even look back, looking at Seth stupidly.

It was not easy for Harden to face Carter's strong shot. He chose to break through with the ball. After playing a pick-and-roll with Hibbert, he was double-teamed at the basket.

Both of the Lakers' inside players huddled under the basket, allowing the Kings' inside players to shoot, with Carter chasing after Harden. Harden looked unlucky and didn't even have a chance to take a shot. He hurriedly passed the ball to the outside, trying to pass it to Hibbert.

As a result, Guo Xu also let go of Rondo, predicted the passing route in advance, cut off the basketball from the wing, accelerated and changed direction and passed Hibbert. His center of gravity is very low. Hibbert is 218cm tall. He is not flexible enough to bend and bend slowly, and he can't hold anyone back even if he wants to foul.

Guo Xu was unguarded, turned his head to look at Rondo's position, jumped up in two steps, changed hands and dunked the basketball in!

21 to 16, Guo Xu scored all the Lakers' opening points.

Yu Jia sighed: Guo Xu dunked whenever he had the chance in these two games after his comeback. He is so strong.

Zhang Lijia smiled and said: If he played really well, he would have won the top five goals in the game, including three dunks and two double-team breaks. Today I think he might also have the top five goals.

Yu Jia nodded: These two dunks will definitely be selected. We have only played half of the first quarter. If we play like this, Guo Xu will score 30+ in a single quarter.

Zhang Li said with a smile: I think he should be able to do it. The Kings' defense is worse than the Clippers. I just don't know how many points he scored in the game. Harden performed well. Let's hold on a little longer.
