Legend of Tomorrow

After Guo Xu announced that he was invited to try out by the Lakers, his status at home has improved again, and the whole family regards him as a treasure.

In the past, when he came home from school, he often went to restaurants to help as a waiter at noon and evening, and he still had no salary. Now Guo Xu only goes to the restaurant to eat, and if he wants to wipe the table with a rag, he will be stopped.

Let me do it! Whenever she sees Guo Xu working, her mother Kay will turn into the American version of Zhu Wushuang.

After entering the campus, Guo Xu enjoyed the treatment like a star.

As long as he appears in the open-air court, students will definitely invite him to play together. Even if he is abused, he will be happy. It is an honor to compete with NBA-level players.

When he practiced alone, many girls came to offer courtesy, bring water and snacks, chat with him, and want to know him. Guo Xu always keeps a distance, keeps his signature simple, accepts gifts normally, and can be a bit ambiguous, but he will not have a super-friendship with anyone, which is much more serious than in the time loop.

Fans are a shortcut for those who are slightly famous. After all, fans have a heart of worship, and they appear to be particularly weak and well-behaved. But true worship is respect, and respecting yourself in front of idols and loving your own image is extremely deceiving.

Guo Xu had to act cautiously, because it was too easy for fans to go out and show off. This is human nature and easy to understand. When you meet someone with a scheming heart, you can throw a king bomb after you are done, and you can consume your idol to death. This is how the illegitimate children of many NBA stars come from.

This world is no longer an era where men show off which women they have slept with. Women also show off, and they no longer like to be martyrs and want things. Can you give love? Can you give me money? Can you give me some advice? If you don't give it, you will probably turn against each other.

Guo Xu's life has become colorful. He often goes out with his friends to sing and dance, play games, and play billiards. He not only focuses on basketball, but also has more friends, he will be considerate and caring for his family, and he has become a cheerful and normal person. His family is very happy for this.

He owed a lot of favors in the time loop. Although no one remembered it, he often invited guests to dinner, took the initiative to contact Cliffs and Peterson, and called coach Tom Izzo a few times. Our friendship could not be improved. few.

The Spartans left four important players at once, but Izzo is still optimistic and ready to recruit potential high school students.

Players who were interviewed after the finals said that their good performance was due to Izzo's proper tactics, which is equivalent to advertising for Michigan State University. There will definitely be outstanding high school students willing to join in the summer, eager to become Izzo's disciples and the core of the new tactics.

Soon June came, and Guo Xu invited Richardson to watch the Western Conference Finals tiebreaker at his hotel. There was no butterfly effect. Just like in his previous life, the Lakers successfully reversed the Trail Blazers from a 15-point deficit. It was thrilling. reached the finals.

It would be interesting if the Lakers lost this game. The Blazers have a high chance of winning the finals. At that time, Pippen will get his seventh championship ring and surpass Jordan. How can he brag about himself after retiring? Is there only one truth about the Bulls dynasty?

What Guo Xu cares about is not the outcome, but the performance of the Blazers point guard, the 178cm Little Flying Squirrel Damon Stoudemire.

He pays attention to the data of Little Flying Squirrel in every game. If the small guard breaks out in the series and shakes up the Lakers' restricted area, Guo Xu will definitely get extra points if he goes to the Lakers. The two seem to have similar bodies and playing styles.

It's a pity that Little Flying Squirrel only scored in double figures in two games, and scored 19 points in the best game. Only 4 points in the fourth game and 2 points in the fifth game, which is extremely disappointing.

This season, Kobe's defensive skills have become proficient. Under his focus, Stoudemire and backup shooting guard Bunchy Wells performed poorly.

The core of the Trail Blazers is Rasheed Wallace, Steve Smith, and Scottie Pippen. Little Flying Squirrel is only the team's fourth offensive point. It is difficult for him to perform well under such conditions. , you can only cast one occasionally.

On the defensive end, Stoudemire is the biggest weakness of the Blazers. Nowadays, the general argument in the NBA is that defense wins championships. After the Spurs won the championship last year, all teams began to pursue pick-and-roll mismatch offenses. If you are short, you will be caught and beaten. There is no way.

In 1995, Isiah Thomas, then vice president of the Raptors, unexpectedly selected Stoudemire with the seventh overall pick in the first round, and the latter did not disappoint the team. He averaged 19 points and 9.3 assists per game and became the best rookie. In the second season, he scored 20.2 points and 8.8 assists. As the leader of the team, he voluntarily asked to be traded to the Trail Blazers because he was dissatisfied with the Raptors' record.

Now that the record is in place, it is impossible for Stoudemire to become the leader of a team and be on par with Iverson.

Just like meeting a girl he liked on the street but not pursuing her to ask for her contact information, thus leaving a lifelong regret, Stoudemire will not have a chance to make amends.

Before the start of the NBA Finals, Happy Waters arrived in East Lansing and wanted to watch the finals with Guo Xu.

If the Lakers don't commit to drafting Guo Xu for a day, Happy will not feel at ease, because the Lakers' second-round pick has been traded out long ago, and the possibility of selecting Guo Xu with the No. 29 pick in the first round is slim. The worse the performance of the point guard in the Lakers Finals, the greater the chance of Guo Xu joining.

Happy wants to be two Fischer and Hubble villains now, pricking them with needles...

Guo Xu was not anxious at all. He knew that the Lakers would win without a doubt. As long as you don't get involved in something, the butterfly effect won't be triggered. The Lakers defeated the Pacers 4-2 to win the championship. The Lakers management will definitely think of his prediction of victory, and the media will probably mention it.

At that time, he not only predicted the championship this season, but also said that he was optimistic about the Lakers' three consecutive championships and would help the Lakers build a dynasty. He talks so nicely and even said he hit the target once. Wouldn't the Lakers management not want to recruit someone who can bring good luck to the team?

In the first game of the finals, the Lakers got off to a good start 104-87.

Kobe played 38 minutes, making 6 of 13 shots, 0 of 2 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He only had 14 points, 3 rebounds, and 5 assists. Harper and Fisher contributed a total of 17 points. The Pacers successfully defended the Lakers' perimeter.

But for the Lakers' inside line, the Pacers had nothing to do. Several big men were fighting each other, and they couldn't restrain O'Neal even though they tried their best.

O'Neal made 21 of 31 shots, 1 of 6 free throws, and scored 43 points, 19 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 blocks. At his peak, the Shark was truly the league's unstoppable low-post weapon. He could push his opponent away with his butt and dunk.

Double-teaming O'Neal won't work, he is very good at breaking double-teams. The triangle offense can create singles opportunities for stars. If the opponent insists on double-teaming, O'Neal can give his teammates easy shooting opportunities by spreading the ball outside. The Lakers only need to ensure the shooting percentage of catch-and-shoot shots from the outside, and that will be enough for the opponent.

It’s not surprising that the Lakers achieved 67 wins in the regular season. If it weren’t for the point guard’s poor performance from beyond the three-point line, they could have hit the Bulls’ historical record of 72 wins and 10 losses this year.

On the Pacers side, the best performer was 35-year-old veteran point guard Mark Jackson. He made 6 of 8 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, 4 of 5 free throws, and scored 18 points, 5 rebounds, and 7 assists in 28 minutes.

Compared with the Pacers, who have average point guard strength, the Lakers are at a disadvantage at the No. 1 position and must add fresh blood.
