Legend of Tomorrow

The abstinent big shark is really terrifying. He has excess energy that needs to be vented, and he can dominate the penalty area on both offense and defense.

The Lakers played away against the Magic. O'Neal broke out in the first quarter and scored 17 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, easily leading the team to a double-digit lead. Guo Xu came off the bench to play casually, and the Lakers secured the victory in the third quarter.

O'Neal played 34 minutes, scoring 33 points, 17 rebounds and 6 assists, and made Magic starting center Andrew DeKlerk want to die. No one wants to be the king of being dunked, but Ao Pang is not someone you can hide from, and you can hide from him if you want.

Because his teammates were too violent, Guo Xu only played 30 minutes before taking a break, scoring 17 points and 5 assists.

It was easier for the Lakers to win against the Wizards in an away game, sealing the victory just after halftime. In the third quarter, Guo Xu and O'Neal went up to play for a while for the sake of statistics.

O'Neal only played 28 minutes, 18 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 blocks; Guo Xu played 31 minutes, 9 of 15 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 1 of 2 free throws, 21 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.

The Lakers encountered several soft persimmons in this schedule and easily guaranteed their winning rate. The fans were very happy. Guo Xu was a little troubled because his opponent was too easy to control, which made it difficult to implement his plan to increase points.

A bad team like the Wizards has worked hard to make it worse. Except for Richard Hamilton, they only use marginal players as starters. The Lakers couldn't lose when they sent out fringe players to compete with the Wizards, and they were very efficient. Fisher made 4 of 6 shots, 2 of 2 three-pointers, and 1 of 1 free throws. He scored 11 points and 6 assists in only 21 minutes.

Michael Jordan watched the game from the sidelines, his expression always solemn, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Perhaps he started to worry that it would be a mistake to come back with the Wizards, and he was afraid that he would not be guaranteed at the end of the season. Or maybe he was praying that the Lakers would lose a few more games and keep the Bulls' record of 72 wins and 10 losses.

The worst-case scenario is that Jordan plays poorly after the Wizards come back, and the Lakers not only break the record, but also win three consecutive championships and establish a dynasty in the future, then Jordan will probably fall from the altar.

After the game, ESPN invited 13 basketball experts to do a special program on the Lakers, comparing this season's Lakers with the 1995-96 Bulls, and discussing which team is stronger.

As a result, the Lakers unexpectedly received support from 8 people, and only 5 people believed that the Bulls were stronger, and then the two sides started a less heated debate.

The Bulls' five starters that year were Ron Harper, Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, and Luke Longley. The main substitute rotation is Kukoc, Steve Kerr, Bill Wennington, Randy Brown, and Dick Simpkins.

When the Bulls play positional warfare,

Pippen is responsible for organizing, passing the ball to Longley or Rodman on both sides of the free throw line, and then Pippen and Jordan move to catch the ball, shoot mid- and long-range shots, or break through to launch an offense.

On defense, the Bulls often began to press fiercely after halftime, using the strong individual defensive abilities of Harper, Pippen, and Jordan to disrupt the opponent's offense. After the opponent's player missed a shot, Rodman grabbed a defensive rebound. The pass starts a fast break, and Pippen and Jordan can also get one-on-one opportunities to display their personal abilities.

Zen Master's tactics reasonably make up for the problem of the older age of the Bulls players, and also effectively utilize the defensive advantages of the core players to make the Bulls very efficient on both offense and defense.

But the Bulls also have two obvious weaknesses, which is why experts believe the Lakers are currently stronger.

First, the Bulls center is too weak. Longley, who is 218cm tall and weighs 120kg, is just an ordinary blue-collar player. He averaged 9.1 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game in the regular season in a record-breaking season.

Everyone knows that Longley can't guard O'Neal, and the gap is much greater than that of Jordan and Kobe. The two have played against each other in their careers, with O'Neal averaging 27.3 points, 13.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.3 blocks per game, and Longley averaging 7 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.5 blocks per game.

Second, the Bulls have nothing to do against extremely fast guards, and they are especially afraid of guards with strong three-point ability.

Because Longley's movement speed is too slow, he can only shrink near the penalty area on the defensive end. Rodman has to protect backcourt rebounds and also likes to shrink near the penalty area to defend. Although Harper, Pippen, and Jordan are great on the outside, it is difficult to defend a small point guard with a height of about two meters. The defense of substitute Randy Brown and Cole is not worth mentioning.

Therefore, during the Bulls' three consecutive championships, they were often defeated by teams with powerful centers or point guards. The Magic with O'Neal and Hardaway, the SuperSonics with Payton and Kemp, the Heat with Mourning and Hardaway, Ewing, Star Knicks' Knicks, Kevin Johnson's Suns, etc.

The Bulls also suffered upset losses to the Raptors with Damon Stoudamire as a rookie, and the 76ers with Allen Iverson as a rookie. There are too many examples to count.

The experts who support the Lakers won the debate. The Bulls' swingmen and forwards are indeed powerful, but they absolutely cannot guard O'Neal and Guo Xu. Direct one-on-ones by Lakers players are opportunities, and pick-and-rolls are more difficult to defend. Guo Xu has no difficulty in mismatching Long Li, and his tendency to shoot three-pointers will make the Bulls' insiders feel troubled.

After the show was broadcast, Guo Xu's popularity increased again. Fans heard that point guards like him were afraid of even gods, and they didn't know how powerful he was.

Recently, Guo Xu's first nickname after joining the NBA has gradually spread and has been widely recognized by fans.

This nickname turned out to be - the! (flash)

Guo Xu's nickname came from O'Neal. Although O'Neal's commonly recognized nickname is Big Shark, he prefers to call himself Superman. By the way, Guo Xu is the superhero who partners with him. Guo Xu made more and more breakthroughs, showing amazing agility and speed. O'Neal called Guo Xu Flashman in two interviews, which was remembered by people.

This is how the nickname of Heat star Dwyane Wade came from in his previous life, and now this joke has been applied to Guo Xu in advance. Fans thought it was quite appropriate. The color of the Lakers happened to be yellow, and the lightning bolt running out of the Flash was also yellow.

This nickname often reminds Guo Xu of Barry Allen in the TV series who is always beaten by people who are a thousand times slower than him. Before the TV series was broadcast, this nickname was still quite cool.

Wade did not participate in the NBA draft until 2003, and did not receive a nickname until 2006. The most suitable large number has been taken. I don’t know what his nickname will be in the future. This requires American fans to use their brains. After all, apart from speed and breakthrough, Wade's only characteristic is his cheeks...

Kobe was a little envious of Guo Xu. The fat man played with him for four years and never gave him a nickname. The North American fans gave him a bad nickname, showboat!

Kobe’s current nickname is not Black Mamba, nor is it Peter Pan.

Black Mamba happened a long time ago. It came from a reporter asking Kobe, Everyone noticed that you often stick out your tongue. Which animal do you think is most like you?

Kobe replied Black Mamba. Then the Black Mamba gradually spread and became his trademark.

When Kobe was still a young boy, he was agile and agile on the court and frequently performed difficult moves to score goals, earning him the nickname showboat. The English translation means Performance Boat, which is a compliment to him for his comprehensive and gorgeous skills. He can do any action and is very positive.

But few people in China mention this nickname. When translated into Chinese, it sounds a bit like Sao Bao He! The abbreviation is even worse, you know that.
