Legend of Tomorrow

The Warriors' lineup has changed, and the overall strength is a little weaker than the Warriors joined by Durant in the parallel world.

Middleton can attack with the ball worse than Durant, and Redick is good at playing without the ball and is a weakened version of Klay Thompson.

The Warriors' interior lineup is stronger than in the parallel world, with two strong defensive players in Rudy Gobert and Draymond Green, David West joined with a minimum salary, and veteran Nowitzki is added.

With these four people around, Kevin Looney, who is very physical, can still only be a marginal player this season. However, the Warriors' interior players cannot provide stable offensive firepower, which is incomparable to Durant.

Durant lived a very comfortable life after joining the Lakers, much better than joining the Warriors and having conflicts with Green. The selfless Horford is very familiar with Durant and has already signed a high-paying contract extension. The two have no conflict of interest in terms of ball rights or money.

The person Green is now hostile to is Gobert. The two have had many quarrels in the locker room this season and were exposed by the media.

Green was often dissatisfied with Gobert's performance and unwilling to partner with him. He said that when Brook Lopez was the starter, the Warriors won two consecutive championships. After Gobert increased his playing time, the team began to lose games, and he wanted to label his teammates as a cancer.

Isn't this nonsense? After Gobert increased his playing time, the Warriors did not defend the title. This was obviously due to Guo Xu's comeback. Even if they don't sweep the Nets, they will win easily.

Golden State media said that Green was just speaking his mind. He always believed that Gobert, a Frenchman, was an outsider. This guy got angry and dared to yell at the referee on the court. He was suspended more than once or twice. He had no ill intentions towards his teammates.

ESPN experts raised questions, why does the outspoken Green only target Gobert? It is true that Green is an emotional person, and no one takes it lightly when his brain gets hot. Have you ever seen him scold Curry and Middleton?

Yes, Green has some impulses, but he is not stupid. He understands which players in the Warriors are crucial to the team and which players are dispensable.

When Gobert was a marginal player, didn't our Warriors still win the championship? I'm irritating you at this time. It just so happens that you leave in the summer, leaving the salary space for me to get a big contract in the future.

No matter how you look at it, Green and Gobert won't suffer from the quarrel. The two of them have long been competing. They are both players who are good at defense and have no shooting range. Although Green can handle it, he is too short, and the management prefers to keep a taller person.

Green is a dirty player on the court, and he is also unclean off the court. He knows how to use his upright persona to obtain better benefits for himself. He was arguing with Gobert over his contract extension, which involved tens of millions of dollars in income. And he knows very well that his statistics will plummet if he leaves the Warriors system, and he doesn't want to be traded.

Gobert rejected the team's early contract extension. As long as he stays with the Warriors this summer, it will definitely be a big contract. The media expects it to be about US$110 million over four years.

In short, the Warriors currently have internal conflicts, the players are not aligned, and the two big men in their prime are not suitable to play together. If Nowitzki plays, the defense will be much worse, and his offense mainly relies on catching and shooting. West is also strong in offense and weak in defense. When playing small-ball tactics, he can only play power forward. As a center, he cannot defend the penalty area due to his height.

After the Warriors gave up Lopez, their strength was weaker than last season, but the Lakers' overall strength was stronger than last season.

The gap between the two teams has widened.

Moreover, Curry lacked confidence when facing Guo Xu and was tortured out of his shadow. He has never defeated Guo Xu in a one-on-one match since his debut. His teammates must help double-team him, otherwise Guo Xu will get 60+ points if he beats him.

Curry was mistreated by Guo Xu in the playoffs. Guo Xu averaged 50+ per game in that series. This is too exciting for a player who has won consecutive MVPs, and Curry can no longer make progress on the defensive end. He is 29 years old this year.

There was no suspense in this game. Guo Xu and Durant took turns holding the ball to attack, Horford was responsible for supporting, and Adams was covering. The Lakers led the Warriors by 20 points in just three quarters.

Guo Xu played another 5 minutes in the final quarter, leading the team to a 26-point lead to seal the victory. At the end, 113-92, the Lakers led the Warriors 3-0 in the regular season.

Because of the need to develop young players, Carter and Wade have reduced their playing time this month, and the coaching staff prefers to let Booker perform.

Robertson made the right choice to leave the team, and staying will be a marginal player. With P.J. Tucker in the Lakers, Robertson is not needed when strengthening wing defense. Tucker can not only defend but also shoot three-pointers. He is an excellent 3D player.

Guo Xu locked up the regular season MVP early again, and no one can compete with him. People have discovered that the Lakers may really achieve a terrifying record of winning 82 regular season games this season, and there is no solution.

If the Lakers have a strong lineup and cannot do this, the key is that other teams are weak to varying degrees, which creates a good opportunity for them to break the historical record. The overall strength of the Lakers is obviously stronger than the 72-win Warriors last season.

Therefore, more and more people are criticizing Durant, saying that he has surrendered to the enemy, and the peak teamwork has led to the complete lack of competition in NBA games. Durant didn't care at all. Every time he explained, I learned from James.

This is really hurtful. What is worse than the lack of competition in the league due to teaming up is that even after teaming up at the peak, they still cannot win the championship and cannot compete with others. After the All-Star Game, the Nets led by James dropped to fifth place in the Eastern Conference and were surpassed by the Wizards.

Last season, James liked to criticize Howard and hold him back, and finally made Howard jump out of his contract and leave. After Lopez was injured this year, the Nets didn't even have anyone who could guard the penalty area. When they encountered the ball with strong low attack power, The team loses.

In order to strengthen the inside line, they even signed Larry Sanders, who retired because of art. Sanders has not made any money in art and is willing to come back to play basketball. Unfortunately, he has not trained systematically in the past two years, and he is a rough guy and can no longer play.

James is dissatisfied with the team's operation and is preparing to be forced to leave in the summer. He will be a completely free agent after the end of this season and will enter the free market to wait to see the Nets trade. If he cannot find teammates that satisfy him and can compete for the championship, he will have to make decision two.

The Lakers treat everyone like an underdog. They should be more serious when dealing with playoff teams. Playing against lottery teams is just fun. Guo Xu made breakthroughs and scored to assist his teammates. He found cover in the midfield and often shot three-pointers from long distances.

After defeating the Warriors, only the 76ers and Clippers have created any threat to the Lakers this month.

The 76ers fought hard with the Lakers on offense to the end. The depth of the lineup is amazing, and the offense and defense are not much worse than the Lakers.

They lost because of the personal ability of the stars. Guo Xu and Durant were particularly stable when playing key balls in the final quarter and could not be defended without double-teaming. The 76ers lack a super scorer, and the shooting stability of Gallinari and Kemba Walker is a bit worse.

The highlights of the 76ers' game were Jokic and Russell. Jokic scored a triple-double with 16 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. Russell, who came off the bench, played 26 minutes, making 7 of 14 shots, 5 of 9 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 21 points and 4 assists.

The Clippers lost to the Lakers by 7 points. The Lakers' role players performed abnormally and relied on their stars to score. The Clippers failed to seize the opportunity. Core Paul was severely beaten by Guo Xu.

Guo Xu made 13 of 19 shots, 7 of 11 three-pointers, 11 of 12 free throws, 44 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals. Paul made 5 of 18 shots, 0 of 8 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 14 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists.

If Paul cannot break through, the organization will also be affected, and his speed is getting slower and slower, and he can hardly keep up with Guo Xu's rhythm.

He is determined to leave this summer...
