Legend of Tomorrow

In the final score of 111 to 78, the Lakers slaughtered the Mavericks at home.

The Big Three of the Lakers did not play in the final quarter. The five players sent were Fisher, Pan Pesi, George, Madsen, and Foster. The Mavericks took the opportunity to recover a little point difference.

Fisher was depressed and suspected that he was still being sent on the court in garbage time. The coaching staff wanted him to improve his data so that he could be put on the shelf in the summer. He cannot relax on the court yet. Only by letting the team see his value can he have a chance to stay.

Guo Xu's self-confidence began to swell after the game. He played 28 minutes, made 8 of 14 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, 9 of 10 free throws, and scored a double-double of 28 points and 10 assists.

Nash, the starting point guard of the Mavericks, also played 28 minutes. He basically followed Guo Xu and had no performance on offense. He made 0 of 4 shots, 0 of 1 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 2 points and 6 points. assists.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Nash was an outstanding player who won the MVP for the Suns. Now the two are facing each other. Guo Xu beats Nash without any pressure, just playing. When Guo Xu concentrated on defense and kept entangled, it was difficult for Nash to get a shot and he couldn't get rid of it by relying on his personal ability.

O'Neal, who had 32 points and 13 rebounds, completely crushed Bradley. There is no comparison between the two.

O'Neal originally wanted to play Bradley mainly in low singles, but Guo Xu persuaded him not to do so and pulled him out to play pick-and-roll because he was afraid of causing death. Bradley's center of gravity is too high, and he is less than 110 kilograms. It would be very dangerous if he was knocked backwards and landed head first on the ground.

Guo Xu saw this kind of scene twice during the regular season. It was really terrifying. Fortunately, Bradley was not injured.

O'Neal likes to show toughness, but doesn't want to be a murderer on the court, so he comes out to cover and create mismatch opportunities. It's quite easy to squeeze out Nash and score on an air cut, just by running two more steps.

After the fight, both of them felt sublimated, how kind they were.

After the game, a Chinese reporter asked Guo Xu to evaluate Wang Zhizhi, who scored 5 points, at the press conference.

Guo Xu said: He has range and excellent footsteps. What he needs to do now is to strengthen his defense. He is a good power forward in pick-and-roll offensive tactics. He can help the team open up space.

The reporter asked: People often say that the NBA playoffs are more intense and are a big test for newcomers. After entering the playoffs, you performed better than the regular season. What is your secret to ensuring good condition?

Guo Xu laughed and said: There is no secret. The Lakers are just too strong. Shaquille and Kobe and I can create one-on-one opportunities for each other.

I also often play pick-and-rolls and get mismatched offensive opportunities. If I don't perform well, I will be guilty.

After a day off, the second game between the two sides continued at the Staples Center, and the situation was still one-sided. At the end of the game, 108 to 86, the Lakers defeated the Mavericks.

Guo Xu and Kobe Bryant had average shooting skills in this game, but the Lakers still won very easily. The advantage inside was too great, and the Mavericks had no way to defend except using the shark-cutting tactic.

Ao Pang is here, and the dream is there. He played 38 minutes, scoring 36 points, 20 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks. He turned the penalty area into a no-fly zone, dominating the basket on both offense and defense.

Guo Xu and Kobe Bryant contributed 20+ and also did well on the defensive end.

Not only did the Lakers' Big Three perform well, but the Lakers' role players also had bright spots. Juwan Howard and Nowitzki were a bit ugly to be defended by the forward line composed of Grant, Horry, and Bowen.

Nowitzki made 4 of 13 shots and relied on 8 of 8 free throws to score 16 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists; Howard made 2 of 14 shots, 3 of 4 free throws, and only scored 7 points and 10 rebounds.

Coach Nelson felt a little desperate. He tried many tactics and kept making personnel adjustments, but the Mavericks were unable to pose any threat to the Lakers. There was a high probability of being swept.

On the other hand, Lakers coach Phil Jackson is simply a spectator. He adjusts and waits for the opponent to call a timeout and the official timeout.

After the two games in the second round, the major awards for the regular season were announced one after another.

Guo Xu triggered a huge butterfly effect. The Lakers became the biggest winner in the 2000-2001 regular season, winning many awards. The Iverson Year became the Lakers Year.

Guo Xu averaged 20 points, 2.4 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.4 steals in 33 minutes per game, shooting 50.2% from the field, 43.1% from the three-point range, and 86.7% from the free throw line.

His statistics were so impressive that he was unanimously elected as the Rookie of the Year and Sixth Man of the Year, becoming the first player in NBA history to win these two awards at the same time. He also set a historical record for the lowest draft pick to win the award.

If the Sixth Man Award was given to McGee of the 76ers, no one would be able to accept it. The gap between the two is too big. McGee averaged 11.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 5 assists per game, and started 33 games, more than Guo Guo, who started 25 games. Asahi.

Phil Jackson was elected Coach of the Year. If Jackson had won the Coach of the Year award last season, Brown might have been able to compete, but it was Magic coach Doc Rivers who won the award last season.

The selection of this award is ridiculous. Rivers led the team with a winning rate of only 50% last season. The Magic ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference and did not make the playoffs. I don’t know what kind of gift he gave the judges, but he actually defeated the team with a winning rate of 81.7%. jackson.

The Most Improved Player Award went to the Magic's Tracy McGrady. Last season, he was only the second-choice leader of the Raptors. After joining the Magic, he became the core of the team and was selected as an All-Star. The Eagles' Jason Terry was defeated and ranked second.

The 76ers did not gain nothing. Dikembe Mutombo was elected the best defensive player.

All-Defensive First Team: Payton, Kidd, Garnett, Duncan, Mutombo.

Defensive second team: Kobe Bryant, Doug Christie, Bruce Bowen, PJ Brown, Shaquille O'Neal.

O'Neal won the regular season MVP, averaging 35.3 minutes per game, scoring 26.3 points, 11 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.2 blocks, shooting 57.2% from the field and 52.8% from the free throw line.

O'Neal's statistics have dropped compared to last season, but his efficiency has not. His record-breaking record has given him extra points. He hasn't played for long, and he still has the best statistics on the Lakers.

The Big Three of the Lakers need to share the shooting rights. Kobe's statistics are not as good as in his previous life. He averaged 35.5 minutes per game, 24 points, 5.1 rebounds, 5 assists, and 1.4 steals. His field goal percentage was 47.2%, a career high, and his three-point shooting percentage was 32.9%. His free throw percentage was 85.3%.

From a data point of view, the Lakers are the team building model of those Big Three teams in Guo Xu's previous life. They create opportunities for each other, resulting in a super high shooting percentage. On the surface, the data seems to have dropped, but in fact it is easier to win.

Driven by three powerful scoring points, the Lakers' role players are also very efficient and can perform on the court. The Lakers averaged 111.2 points per game, conceded 97.2 points, and beat their opponents by 14 points.

Looking back at the 76ers, Iverson scored high points with a low shooting percentage, and his teammates were not very efficient. They relied on defense to win. They averaged only 94.7 points per game, conceded 90.4 points, and only beat their opponents by 4.3 points. Which one is stronger and which one is weaker? , clear at a glance.

All-NBA First Team: Iverson, Kidd, Chris Webber, Duncan, O'Neal.

Best second team: Kobe, Tracy McGrady, Carter, Garnett, Mutombo.

Best third team: Payton, Ray Allen, Nowitzki, Karl Malone, David Robinson.

Guo Xu regretted not being selected for the All-NBA Team. He was indeed inferior to Payton in terms of statistics, but his record was much better. After knowing the results, he was very calm. It was enough to break the record and win two awards.

The Sonics failed to make the playoffs. Payton's award is like a little compensation from the league. Guo Xu is still young and will have a chance to be selected for the best team in the future.
