Legend of Tomorrow

Things often happen on the basketball court, and Guo Xu is the nemesis of the stand-up center.

Just like O'Neal, no matter how fierce he is, if he encounters a pick-and-roll on the defensive end, it will be a big problem for him to switch to guard Iverson. It is difficult for high center forwards to lower their center of gravity and have poor flexibility. In the future, centers without speed will be eliminated by the NBA except those with strong offense.

The Suns' pick-and-roll was useless. Guo Xu chased the defender very quickly and bypassed it from the inside, blocking Crispin's path. The latter protected the ball with his back and separated. Ben Davis caught the ball and made a jumper, but missed again due to George's interference.

The two insiders Zakalidis and Garthus competed for the offensive rebound. As a result, the 206CM Madsen accurately predicted the direction of the ball and jumped up to scoop the ball into his arms with one hand.

The nickname Mad Dog is well deserved. Even if it is just a pre-season game, Madsen will concentrate and try his best. His strong mental attributes make up for his lack of talent.

Madsen looked for Guo Xu as soon as he landed. This time he caught the ball and quickly advanced to the frontcourt, passing it to George who was running wildly in the middle. Ben Davis did not defend and did not foul. He watched George rush up and score a tomahawk dunk.

6-0, Guo Xu sent an assist.

The Suns' offense was very simple. After two passes, Paul missed a layup and George grabbed the rebound.

Guo Xu brought the ball to the frontcourt to play a pick-and-roll, moved laterally with the ball, and attracted the center to change defense at a 70-degree angle on the right side, and passed the ball back to the center. Crispin chased Guo Xu and formed a double-team. Medvedenko got an open space in the middle and made a hollow mid-range shot into the net, which was very stable.

8 to 0. Guo Xu’s second assist.

When returning to defense, Medvedenko and Guo Xu clapped their hands. This is his favorite playing rhythm. Before coming to the United States, he didn't have much confidence in joining the Lakers. Now working with Guo Xu, he firmly believes that he can stay because he will show his best side to the coaching staff.

When the Suns attacked, Garthus attacked with the ball and used low-post moves that he was not good at to challenge Madsen, who is famous for his stalking. The result was predictable. His shot was severely interfered with and went wide. Medvedenko grabbed it. Court rebounds.

Guo Xu took the ball to the front court and waited for his teammates to pull away. He continued to play the pick and roll. He took a step and turned his head to look in the middle, and suddenly passed the ball to the right corner. Madsen helped Pampesi block the defender on the baseline, and the latter ran from left to right to receive the ball.

Madsen's offensive area is right under the basket, and he has no confidence in shooting from a step away. Pan Pesi mainly moves on the baseline. His style is very similar to Guo Xu's teammate Peterson in the Spartans, and it is easy to find people.

Guo Xu made an open shot, and Pampesi caught the ball and made a three-pointer. Paul missed the block and scored.

11-0, Guo Xu’s third assist.

The Sun coach requested a timeout, and it was too ugly to start the game like this. Teaching assistants also attach great importance to maintaining their image, and will seize every opportunity to prove their abilities, otherwise they will never be able to become regulars.

After the timeout ended, the Suns broke the scoring drought, but the situation was still one-sided, and the Lakers stormed around Chakalidis.

Chakalidis switched defenses and Guo Xu charged at him with the ball, attracting the point guard to chase and pass the ball to Medvedenko in the middle. It's easier for Chakalidis not to switch defenses. Guo Xu can get rid of the defender with a screen and can make a jump shot in one step.

Tsakalidis was a defensive black hole no matter how he looked on the court. With his dull face, the Suns coach couldn't bear to make a substitution after only playing 5 minutes. The big man with high expectations made 0 of 3 shots and scored no points. The only statistic was grabbing a backcourt rebound.

The Suns' other insider, Gasthus, also made 0 of 2 shots and scored no points. He was entangled by Madsen, and they seemed to have no chance of winning.

After replacing the first-round rookie, the Suns' inside offense became worse, and the Lakers' defensive formation shrank to the penalty area, forcing opponents to take shots away from the basket.

The Lakers attacked, Guo Xu took the ball to the frontcourt, waved to let his teammates pull away, and stopped the pick-and-roll.

He faced the frame one step outside the three-point line in the middle.

Dribbling the ball to the left hand from the hip, gently touching the left shoulder, holding the ball with the left hand and changing direction to the right.

Crispin didn't react slowly and moved sideways to break through the defense, but he was not confident enough to fear being passed, so he kept one and a half steps away from Guo Xu. Guo Xu changed his moves with one step, stepped back with his right foot, pulled the ball up, and shot a three-point jumper.

Guo Xu took two steps back to open up the distance, and his jump shot was slightly backward. In this case, Richardson, who is nearly two meters tall and has excellent bounce, could not block the shot, let alone the 183cm Crispin?

In the time loop, Guo Xu's shooting was practiced by avoiding the blocks of the three masters Peterson, Richardson, and Cliffs. He had no pressure when facing small defenders and was not afraid of being blocked. Crispin took a step forward and before he could take off, the ball flew towards the basket and hit the net!

Crispin brought the ball to the frontcourt to return the favor, but he couldn't change direction and was blocked by Guo Xu. He tried to use his strength to break through but couldn't get out of the way. Finally, he turned around and forced a shot. Under Guo Xu's interference, he missed the mark and only touched the backboard. Touch the basket.

The Lakers attacked, and Guo Xu once again singled out Crispin in the middle.

He dribbled the ball to his left hand from his crotch, lightly touched his left shoulder, held the ball in his left hand and changed direction to the right. He took a small step. Crispin was a little closer and moved sideways to keep up.

Guo Xu quickly dribbled the ball with his right hand and handed it to his left hand to change direction. He suddenly started at full speed, passed Crispin in one step, and drove straight into the middle. Now Guo Xu can bully others with his physical fitness, and his explosive power is obviously better than that of his opponents.

Gathers made up the defense, and Guo Xu passed the ball to Madsen from close range. The latter scored easily with a rebound under the left basket.

After playing for a few more rounds, pseudo-fans could see the huge gap between the two teams' point guards. The Suns were forced to make substitutions. The backup point guard was not as strong as Crispin. He was 188cm tall, had slightly better single defense, but was not good at offense.

At the end of the first quarter, under the leadership of Guo Xu, the Lakers blossomed more. He played the entire quarter, making 7 of 11 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and had 18 points and 8 assists.

Guo Xu almost scored 20+10 in a single quarter. Both the players and coaches of the Suns felt that they were deceived by the media.

Who is the mentally retarded person who said Jason Guo is incapable of establishing himself in the NBA? He must be fringe, a mascot? Which NBA team has fringe players who can attract double teams?

The Lakers lead the Suns 37 to 11, and the score is very different. The defense of George, Guo Xu, and Madsen was very tight. The Suns had no tactics at all, they just took turns playing singles.

Although a single quarter of the Summer League is 12 minutes, the timing is irregular and the clock is not stopped after a goal is scored. Otherwise, the Lakers would probably score more than 40 points in a single quarter.

When Guo Xu came off the field, his teammates high-fived him to celebrate, especially the five starters who had eaten together and had a very good relationship.

John Celestand, who asked Guo Xu to go home and nurse him as soon as they met, looked ugly. He didn't pay attention to the NCAA games this year. He read a lot of news and always thought that Guo Xu was famous because he was blown away, otherwise he would not be able to fall. By the end of the second round, his personal ability will definitely not be as good as his first pick in the second round in 1999.

Now he realized that he had picked the wrong competitor. Guo Xu was much stronger than he thought, and the two were simply incomparable.

He secretly sighed that the strength of players cannot be measured simply by their draft position. The quality of this year's rookie class is obviously superior, and they can be called the 2000 Platinum Generation. If Guo Xu participated in last year's draft, he would probably be able to enter the lottery. ...

John shook his head violently.

Platinum shit! Isn’t the opponent’s center ranked 25th in the first round just a loser? Madsen at No. 29 is nothing special. Are the scouts so blind? !
