Legend of Tomorrow

The Lakers vs. Hawks game happened to be on Sunday, and China cctv5 chose to broadcast it live. After the players appeared, two commentators introduced the Lakers stars.

At this time, there were not many NBA live broadcasts in China, and there were only two commentators, Xu Jicheng and Zhang Lili. In Guo Xu's previous life in 2018, they were still commentating. At that time, some people were discussing their historical status in the guest commentary world.

Xu Jicheng said: Bryant is not here, Guo Xu is the second in charge of the Lakers. No one was optimistic about him in last year's draft, and he was selected at the bottom. As a result, he scored 30+ in the first game, and faced Stoke in the second game. Dayton hit the buzzer-beating shot. Now he's locked in the Rookie of the Year award before the season is over, and his career looks legendary.

The Chinese commentator doesn't like to be called Jason Guo, and calls him Guo Xu to feel more cordial.

It's like Artest sounds like a violent person, while Metta Shiping is much more approachable. Even if he is beating and banning people, what Metta Shiping uses is the elbow of world peace.

Zhang Lili started the gossip: Guo Xu is half-Chinese, and his father is Chinese. From the appearance, he looks like a mixed-race Caucasian, but he can speak fluent Mandarin and speaks Chinese when interviewed by domestic reporters.

Xu Jicheng said: This is definitely true. Not only sports reporters know it, but also entertainment reporters know it.

Zhang Lili explained with a smile: The last time a reporter went to Hollywood to interview Jet Li, it happened that Guo Xu was playing on their crew and spoke Chinese fluently. His cousin is an actor and filmed with Jet Li.

Xu Jicheng laughed and said: He is quite playful. His potato chip commercial will be shown during the intermission later. It was very funny. He and O'Neal are both fun-loving and noisy stars, and they have the talent to become comedians. .”

In China, Guo Xu is already a well-known star. With Wang Zhizhi joining the Mavericks this year, the number of Chinese fans will definitely increase next season. He is not far away from becoming an All-Star starter.

After the warm-up, the two teams started the game, with the Lakers starting five: Guo Xu, Fisher, Fox, Grant, and O'Neal.

Hawks five: Knight, Terry, Alan Henderson, Toni Kukoc, Nazr Muhammad.

Kukoc and Muhammad are the two players who benefited most from the mid-term trade. They were only substitutes and marginal players in the 76ers, and they joined the Eagles and became starters directly.

Muhammad's playing time with the Hawks increased to 25.6 minutes, scoring 12.3 points, 9 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 1 block. With the 76ers, he only played 6.5 minutes and played in 30 games. His 3.2 points and 1.8 rebounds were not worth mentioning.

Leaving the 76ers and Larry Brown,

Muhammad felt that the air had become fresher. He was the 29th pick in the first round of 1998. He had been a fringe player under Brown for two and a half years, usually playing five minutes in garbage time. Now the pain is finally over.

Kukoc also had a second spring with the Hawks. His playing time suddenly increased to 36 minutes, averaging 20 points, 5.7 rebounds and 6 assists per game. He looked like an All-Star.

When he was with the 76ers, Kukoc only played 20.4 minutes, played in 48 games, and scored 8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.9 assists. He had no ball rights on the offensive end, and had to endure Brown's ridicule on the defensive end.

On the surface, the 76ers appear to be a group of blue-collar workers plus Iverson. In fact, the 76ers back then were an offensive team with many talented offensive players. Brown only used Iverson to attack alone and beat the rest. Players have been transformed into blue-collar players, and those who cannot be transformed are traded away one after another.

The Lakers attack first and the game begins.

Guo Xu protected the ball in the middle and observed the movement of his teammates. Knight stepped forward to get close to him, showing a good defensive attitude.

O'Neal was in the middle to cover outside the three-point line. Guo Xu first dribbled the ball laterally, then suddenly changed direction and rushed to the right. Knight bumped into O'Neal solidly and almost fell to the ground, unable to keep up.

Muhammad, who is 208cm tall and weighs 102kg, switched defenses. Guo Xu lowered his center of gravity and quickly hit the ball with his left hand below the knee and passed under Muhammad's crotch. He accelerated to catch up and caught the basketball with his right hand. , take advantage of the trend and take three steps.

Seeing no one to cover him, he jumped up with all his strength and dunked with both hands. 2 to 0.

Guo Xu practiced this move while playing with Cannon Baker. If a big player moves too far laterally, he can easily be penetrated by the ball. In the time loop, Guo Xu penetrated the crotch of Kobe Bryant during one-on-one duels. , I was so angry and depressed all day long.

Zhang Lili shouted: Beautiful! Guo Xu just kicked off the game by wearing a crotch and dunking. How dare you play.

Xu Jicheng said: Many people used to think that Guo Xu had the upper hand of the OK group, but now everyone in the United States recognizes him as an All-Star player.

The Hawks attacked, and after Knight and Muhammad played a pick-and-roll, O'Neal attracted the ball. Muhammad squeezed Guo Xu and scored a layup. 2 to 2.

When the Lakers attacked, Guo Xu dribbled to the frontcourt, observed the situation and passed the ball to the left over Knight's head. Fisher relied on Grant to cover without the ball and cut inside to get rid of Terry. The opportunity was too good and Guo Xu had no choice but to pass it. He couldn't pretend he didn't see it.

Fisher caught the ball and got rid of Kukoc and scored a layup. 4-2, Guo Xu got the first assist.

This is the reason why Brown looked down on Kukoc when he was with the 76ers. He was really not good enough on the defensive end, especially in pick-and-roll defense, and his defense speed was not fast enough.

This is caused by physical fitness. If Kukoc has stronger physical fitness, with his comprehensive offensive skills and excellent shooting touch, he may be able to reach the level of Nowitzki.

The Hawks attacked. Knight and Kukoc blocked the ball and split the ball. Kukoc faced Grant's defense and broke through with the ball after taking a step. Grant missed a layup due to Grant's interference. Grant got the backcourt rebound and passed it to Fisher. you.

Fisher dribbled the ball to the frontcourt as arranged by the coach. Guo Xu played without the ball, stood in the right corner, and ran up the line. O'Neal in the low post pulled out to help him block Knight.

Fisher's task was to pass the ball to Guo Xu through half court. He had no other choice and distributed the ball in a timely manner. Guo Xu caught the ball and made an emergency jumper. The shot was very fast. Knight did not get around the screen and Muhammad had no time to change defense. The ball drew a beautiful arc and hit the net!

7 to 2, Guo Xu’s fifth point. His 70-degree shot from the right was too stable.

He and O'Neal carefully discussed this cooperation before the game and tried to take more shots from both sides. After Muhammad defended Guo Xu, he broke through with the ball, attracted the big man and passed the ball to O'Neal who was cutting in the air.

As long as the Hawks players switch defenses and let O'Fat face Knight, it will be the same as if no one is guarding him. It will be difficult for Knight to catch him if he wants to foul.

The Eagles attacked again with a pick-and-roll. This time Henderson provided a screen for Terry. Terry attracted Fox to switch defenses and then split the ball. Henderson broke through with the ball, causing Fisher to foul and made two free throws. 7 to 4.

No point guard can deal with this kind of dislocation. Henderson is a swingman at the 3rd and 4th positions. He is 206cm tall and weighs 107kg. His body shape is more like a power forward. The Eagles' tactics are that three people are responsible for covering, and two guards are responsible for breakthroughs, catching and shooting, and constantly creating misplaced offensive opportunities.

The Lakers attacked, Fisher dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Guo Xu's running tactics just now came again. Muhammad still couldn't guard him. He was too afraid of O'Neal and knew that if he guarded the inside, there would be space. Knight The pursuit was a step slower.

Fisher passed the ball, Guo Xu caught the ball at 70 degrees from the right side and hit another hollow!

10 to 4, Guo Xu scored his 8th point and went crazy at the beginning!
