Legend of Tomorrow

Guo Xu's personal strength has reached an unprecedented level in NBA history, and he can defeat others without fighting.

They also had a perfect start, but before the game even started, the Nets' two stars couldn't help but put themselves in the position of the weak, even though Guo Xu joined the underdog Lakers, a newly rebuilt team.

Guo Xu left the impression of always a winner. All players felt that it was extremely difficult to defeat him. This mentality will affect their performance on the court.

Guo Xu holds 11 championship rings, which gives people a great sense of oppression. He continues to increase his momentum with 50+ points in five consecutive games, which is much more terrifying than when Jordan came back for the first time, making his opponents feel intimidated.

Beverly is looking forward to this matchup. He feels that his defensive method will be effective for Guo Xu, and this will be a good opportunity for him to increase his popularity. Guo Xu has scored 50+ points in the previous few games. As long as Guo Xu he defends only scores 30 points, he can prove his strength.

In China, Beverly has the nickname Mad Dog, and the nickname he gave himself is Junk Dog. He is very happy when others call him these two nicknames. Mad Dog and Junk Dog are both compliments in American black culture. The word is to praise him for his toughness.

After he successfully defended once, he enthusiastically shouted I am dog to the camera, and the nickname became popular.

Everyone is ambitious, and Beverley doesn't want to always hear people say that he is the Nets' weakest starter. He wants to be a star.

Guo Xu received warm applause when the players came on the field. Even in away games, fans like to watch him score high scores. This style of play is more enjoyable than the more-flowering winning mode.

Mike Brown emphasized tactics and asked to double-team Guo Xu as soon as he came up. Beverley was a little unhappy.

Brown said to Beverley alone: ​​Before, every team that defended Jason Guo alone at the beginning was scored high by him, and then they had no choice but to double-team. Let's skip this link, Patrick, you are confident I'm happy, but he's Jason.

The coach didn't save any face for Beverley and showed that he doesn't think highly of him.

Many people think that Brown's coaching level is average, he is good at coordinating player relations, and he is an out-and-out good guy. The players all agree with this point. Brown knows that his on-the-spot response is relatively poor. If he wants to play well, he must make targeted arrangements before the game.

The Lakers have changed their lineup and plan to strengthen their defense. The starting five are: Guo Xu, Andre Robertson, Vince Carter, PJ Tucker, and Al Horford.

This was a decision made after discussion between Tyronn Lue and female assistant Becky Harmon. The Nets mainly rely on outside players to score.

There are many breakthroughs. If you want to guard the swingman, the best way is to form a large formation of swingmen. It will be difficult for Nurkic to defend James and Wade in the starting lineup.

Zhang Lili of China CCTV5 commented: This is not a big team with four small players, but a dead five small team. The tallest player, Horford, is only 208cm tall and not very heavy. He has a standard power forward figure and is relatively mobile.

Yu Jia said: Tucker, who was just traded to the team, started. I feel that he is not much higher than Guo Xu. Is he a Lakers power forward?

Zhang Lili said: It could also be Robertson. He played as a power forward in college. The key to small ball tactics is to switch defenses, and the positions of several players are unclear.

Robertson played a total of 105 games for the University of Colorado, averaging 9.6 points and 10 rebounds per game. He led the team in rebounds, blocks and steals for three consecutive seasons, and was only 10 points away from the team's total rebound record.

If he had finished his fourth year in college, the school rebounding record would have been his, but he chose to enter the draft.

When Robertson entered the NBA, he was not in shape to play power forward, and suffered from both height and weight. After adjusting the starting lineup today, Robertson is in a good mood. Tyronn Lue assigned him the task of defending Wade.

Nets starting lineup: Beverley, Wade, James, West, Howard.

Howard won the jump ball and the game was on.

James took the ball from the outside, and veteran Carter let him go two steps away. This seems to be a difficult defensive task, but Carter is very suitable for guarding James. He has speed and power, and at 198cm tall, he will not be thrown casually.

James can't be like Guo Xu, who shoots three-pointers as long as his opponent can't cover him. He doesn't take many outside shots and has to find a rhythm. He only averaged more than five shots per game in one season.

He took the ball and tried to break through but failed, passing it to Wade on the wing.

Wade held the ball and broke through the baseline, but Robertson was close to him but failed. He was obviously at a disadvantage in terms of height and did not force the ball and passed the ball to West.

West, who is 206cm tall, seems to have an obvious advantage against Tucker. As soon as he catches the ball, he immediately gets close to Tucker and defends him. West takes two steps with his back, and Tucker follows without taking a step back, leaving him with no choice but to move laterally.

At half a head shorter, Tucker is two kilograms heavier than West, and his strength advantage is obvious. West couldn't turn around, didn't have a good shooting rhythm and didn't force the shot, and he passed out to the outside to find James.

The Nets have many fewer fans than the Lakers because their game is very ugly. It can be said that they have no tactics. The players take turns playing singles. The only more complicated moves are Wade's baseline cuts and Beverley's wing runs.

Howard knows that his body has passed its peak period, and increasing back hitting may cause the recurrence of old injuries, so he does not dare to die. If it were a few years ago, there wouldn't even be this three-point ball-covering tactic.

Howard couldn't stop Guo Xu at all. He always bypassed side screens very quickly, and he always went inside, so the defender couldn't catch the ball and break through.

Beverley took a sudden step after taking the ball and was caught close to him. He almost made a mistake. He almost ran out of 24 seconds and could not pass the ball into the open space. In the end, James made a strong shot and missed the layup under the double-team of Robertson and Carter.

Horford pushed the ball out with one hand, and Guo Xu grabbed Beverley to grab the backcourt rebound, and turned around to successfully start the fast break. He got to the basket in just over three seconds and succeeded in a one-handed dunk. 2 to 0.

Wade, who is known for his speed, has begun to decline. He chases from the left to Guo Xu, who is on the right and cannot catch up.

This is Beverley's mistake. He is sometimes too aggressive and likes to fight for rebounds, especially offensive rebounds. In one playoff game, he averaged 2.2 offensive rebounds per game with the Rockets. Since entering the league, he has had more than one offensive rebound in every regular season.

Just looking at the rebounding data, Beverley is better than Guo Xu.

Guo Xu's rebounds in a single game rarely exceed five, and his average rebounds per game only exceed four in one season. In fact, if Guo Xu wants to steal, he will definitely beat Beverley with his physical fitness and reaction speed. He just prefers fast breaks and does not steal the work of his teammates inside.

When the Nets attacked, James singled out Carter and broke through. He was double-teamed by Robertson near the penalty area and passed out to Wade.

Wade caught the ball with one step inside the three-point line, aimed at 50 degrees from the right and missed the mid-range shot, and Tucker grabbed the rebound.

Wade can't get a high-paying long-term contract because of his poor shooting, and Heat manager Pat Riley has long disliked him. Wade, who has never helped the team win a championship, will be cleaned whenever Riley says and will not be polite to him.

Last season with the Bulls, Wade shot 42.9% from mid-range and 37.8% from large two-pointers. These two shots accounted for 48.5% of the total shots. He only shot 28.5% from three-pointers and basically didn't shoot at all.

The Lakers immediately counterattacked, Guo Xu received the ball and advanced quickly, and Beverley used a tight-fitting defense. He can slow down the opponent's advancement, and against thin defenders, he can also knock the opponent's center of gravity out of balance and wait for opportunities to steal.

Because he likes confrontation and makes big defensive moves, Beverley is a very controversial player, and fans think he is dirty.

Beverley managed to get close to him while running, but to his surprise, he was directly pushed away by Guo Xu who lowered his center of gravity...
