Legend of Tomorrow

At the post-game press conference, when Flip Saunders talked about Guo Xu, he admitted that the team did not have a good way to defend him.

He played so comfortably. I think players need to judge the situation on the court and step forward to put more pressure on him. At the same time, teammates inside should provide help on the outside. It's a pity that we couldn't do that. He looked like a complete Star player.”

Speaking of his own defender, Sanders said: Terrell can still do a lot of things on the court, he is just not in good shape this time.

In fact, he no longer had any hope for Trier. He only hoped that Trier would be able to perform well in the future, so that he could be sent away.

As for William Avery, Sanders didn't even bother to comment. This is just a waste that he picked with a lottery pick's salary and can't do anything.

Last season, William averaged 8.2 minutes per game, scoring 2.6 points and 1.5 assists with a 30% shooting percentage. This season, his playing time, shooting percentage, and statistics are similar to last season. His stability is terrifying. No one wants such a stable person.

Garnett did not attend the press conference, citing a cold. In other words, the team's disastrous defeat was an accident. He only had one assist but five turnovers. There are reasons for the poor scoring and rebounding data.

This kind of thing is common for reporters. Many players will miss press conferences for some reason during the regular season. Especially in away games, they generally will not be fined. However, this cannot be done in the playoffs.

Reporters asked about shooting percentage, and he looked on track to be in the 180 club.

The 180 club, also known as the 50-40-90 club, is an informal term referring to an NBA player who shoots at least 50 percent from the field, at least 40 percent from three-point range, and at least 90 percent from the free-throw line throughout the season. %.

Guo Xu's total field goal percentage has exceeded 180, which is very amazing, but his free throw percentage is slightly lower, so he is not yet a member of the club. The most terrifying thing is his three-point shooting percentage. After this game, it is close to 50%, averaging 2.6 goals per game.

He is so accurate because almost all teams in this era are used to solid defense in the penalty area, hoarding a few centers with meat shields, and they are not so active in defending outside three-pointers when encountering pick-and-rolls. Even if they actively defend, the speed of changing defenses is not too fast. .

Since the NBA introduced the three-point line in the 1979-80 season, there have been three members of the 180 Club, namely Larry Bird, Mark Price, and Reggie Miller.

It is worth mentioning that in the 1995-96 season, Steve Kerr shot 50.6% from the field, 51.5% from the three-point range, and 92.9% from the free throw line. list standard and therefore not a member of the club.

Guo Xu was very proud in his heart but very humble on the outside. The more humble he was at this time, the higher the evaluation he would get.

My shooting rate is high because my teammates are strong. Shaker and Kobe have attracted the focus of defense. I can get good shots and should guarantee a high shooting rate.

The Lakers now vaguely have the shadow of the Big Three. When a team has three strong offensive points, it is difficult for the opponent to double-team, and the shooting percentage of the three will increase as a result.

In Guo Xu's previous life, this was the case for the Big Three of the Celtics, the Big Three of the Heat, and the Big Three of the Warriors. Even the Timberwolves during the Three-Headed Monster period from 2003 to 2004 could win the best record in the regular season. That Timberwolves team was much better.

Kobe is currently the player with the lowest shooting percentage in the Lakers Trident, with 46.8%. His three-point shooting percentage is only 30%. If the outside line is more accurate, the overall shooting percentage may reach 50%.

Surrounding superstars is good for shooting. Cole was also playing next to Jordan and Pippen at the time. You must know that this person has poor offensive ability with the ball and almost no breakthroughs. Tyronn Lue's shooting percentage was not low with the Lakers last season, playing 8 games and averaging 18.3 minutes per game.

48.7% shooting rate, 50% three-point shooting rate, 6 points, 1.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists. Jackson considered training Tyronn Lue, but unfortunately he failed to live up to his expectations and was quickly injured.

The reporter asked: Many people think that you have replaced the departed Glenn Rice and become the new third head of the Lakers. Where do you think you are in the team?

Guo Xu continued to be modest. It's not the same. Rice used to be an All-Star player. He scored 20+ points in many seasons at his peak. He joined the Lakers to play the role of a veteran. I'm just a dynamic rookie. I got good statistics with the help of my seniors. , many contributions of veterans cannot be reflected by data.

Guo Xu implicitly praised his teammates. If he considers himself the top three, his teammates and coaching staff will definitely not be happy. This can be seen from the order of his appearance. Even if his statistics are good, Grant, Fox, Harper and others will be behind him when he plays. This is based on seniority.

The reporter asked: You are currently ranked No. 1 on the Rookie of the Year list. Do you think you can win the Rookie of the Year?

Of course I hope to win the award, but the regular season has just started, I'm not sure. What I have to do now is to try my best to help the Lakers win every game. Who but me will only give people a feeling of being a villain.

Going too far is too late. Guo Xu's arrogance at the beginning is to attract attention, but if he continues to be arrogant, he will be disgusted and become a brain-dead. He doesn't want to follow the old path of Brother Ball and Daddy Ball in his previous life.

When teammates were asked about Guo Xu, they all praised him. O'Neal expressed that he liked to cooperate with Guo Xu. He had 28 points, 16 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks in this game. He played very comprehensively.

The media reported the game the next day, and more and more experts were optimistic that the Lakers would win consecutive championships this season. They led the league with a record of 10 wins and 2 losses.

The Lakers have a day off because the 23rd is Thanksgiving!

Initially, there was no fixed date for Thanksgiving, which was decided by each state. It was not until the independence of the United States that Thanksgiving became a national holiday. In 1941, the U.S. Congress passed a law setting Thanksgiving Day on the fourth Thursday of November each year.

Every Thanksgiving Day, the whole of the United States is very lively. Many people go to church to pray for thanksgiving according to the custom. There are costume parades, theater performances and other activities everywhere in urban and rural areas. The family gathers together to enjoy delicious Thanksgiving turkey.

The Thanksgiving holiday usually lasts from Thursday to Sunday. If there are no players, Guo Xu will have to represent the Lakers against the Warriors at home tomorrow, so he can't go back to East Lansing to spend the holidays with his family, so he can only call to say hello.

Guo Xu is not alone, because there is still Guo Da in Los Angeles. Darrens was afraid that Meghan would be in trouble and came to Los Angeles to accompany her. The mother and daughter could not eat such a big turkey, so they invited the two brothers to have dinner.

After meeting, Darrens was amazed that the two were relatives. They were so different. One was a handsome guy and the other was a gangster. She estimated that Jason Guo inherited the strengths of his family, while Jason Statham probably only inherited the weaknesses.

However, as soon as Statham chatted, Darrens was interested. He was grateful to the directors. He first thanked Guy Ritchie, and then thanked the Chinese director Huang Yiyu. Because he has just been screened for the 50-million-dollar big-budget movie Cosmic Order and is about to star in a movie with Jet Li. It seems that he is about to become famous.

Guo Xu did not make any remarks. This was not an award ceremony. It was too pretentious.

What he wants to be grateful for most is not the people, but this year's April Fool's Day. Without the cycle of that day, he wouldn't be where he is now.

At present, his strength is improving very slowly. He doesn't know whether he can enter the cycle again in the future, but he hopes he can. He knows very well that based on his current strength, he will definitely not be able to do well as the core of a team.
