Legend of Tomorrow

In the game on the night of the 22nd, the Suns defeated the Lakers by 14 points in an away game.

Gasol and DeAndre Jordan have strengthened the Suns' defensive capabilities in the penalty area. They are very capable of resisting. Lakers center Bogut has no advantage in low-post one-on-ones.

Bogut played 40 minutes, making 5 of 8 shots, 2 of 4 free throws, 12 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 5 turnovers, and left the game with 6 fouls in the final quarter. He took fewer shots when he couldn't get to the basket, and he still had little control over the mid-range.

Bogut played very reasonably under the training of Zen Master Phil Jackson, and his statistics were not bad. He averaged 33.2 minutes per game, scored 16.7 points, 10.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 2.5 blocks, and shot 52% from the field. This is his contract year, and a big contract has been secured.

Millsap is the type that Odom hates very much. He has speed and strength, which makes him unable to break into the basket and will be interfered with when shooting. Stoudemire played power forward for a while, which also put a lot of pressure on Odom on the defensive end.

Roy has been able to compete with Joe Johnson this season. Roy plays more easily because he plays next to Guo Xu and often gets simple shooting opportunities. If Joe Johnson wants to take action, he has to use his personal abilities. The Lakers still need him to stand up and play hard in the final quarter.

No. 1 Fisher was beaten as usual against Guo Xu. If Guo Xu hadn't played a little crazy last night, the Lakers wouldn't have lost just this much.

The Suns' 13-game winning streak didn't spark much discussion online, and the media only mentioned it casually when reporting on the game. People are more concerned about how Guo Xu, Megan and Daddario live at home.

Some fans made up their story on the website, which was very close to the truth. Guo Xu and Daddario had been in love for a long time while filming Inception, but they didn't expect this girl to be bisexual. Later, Megan and Daddario became in love for a long time while filming Chloe. Maybe they were both too involved in the drama.

The post was probably made by someone on the crew. Even if the star was unhappy, it would be difficult to find him out, let alone sue him.

The trio's admission of living together has brought renewed attention to the Chloe movie, with some experts predicting that the film will be nominated for an Oscar.

Guo Xu asked Robert to find someone for public relations. He said he would do whatever it takes to help Meghan get nominated for Best Actress. Although he and Little Fox had cheated on each other one after another and had no resistance to cows, their relationship was very strong. .

On the 23rd, the Suns had no difficulty in back-to-back games against the Clippers, who had the bottom record. Previously, they had 2 wins and 11 losses. The Suns won by 27 points. The main players clocked out in the third quarter and won 14 consecutive games.

Clippers star Baron Davis' condition has seriously declined, and he has become a blacksmith with a shooting percentage of only 37%. After Elton Brand left, Davis had no confidence in leading the Clippers to win, so he simply When it comes to retirement.

With this mentality, Davis kept playing during the summer and didn't practice at all.

Chris Kaman is strong in offense and weak in defense. His averages of 15.5 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game are pretty good, but he is not suitable to start with Marcus Camby, and no one can guard the pick-and-roll.

Camby averaged 10 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks per game. He didn't guard the penalty area at all and just focused on backcourt rebounds.

No. 2 rookie Michael Beasley, who serves as the starting small forward, is the Clippers' biggest bright spot and the only one who attracts fans. He averaged 33 minutes per game, scored 18.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.4 assists, and shot 45% from the field. He is a strong contender for the Rookie of the Year and the team's leading scorer.

In fact, Beasley is also terrible. He can only fight in one-on-one battles and cannot cooperate with his teammates. His true shooting percentage is only 52%. The only reliable data is that his large two-point field goal percentage is 45%.

There is another piece of good news for the shabby Clippers. Shooting guard Old Cat Mobley only played 8 games before he was diagnosed with a heart disease and was forced to retire.

Owner Donald Sterling really thinks this is good news, because every NBA player has an insurance policy. If it is verified by the league that the player has indeed retired due to illness, 75%-80% of the remaining salary of his contract will be paid by Insurance company pays. Furthermore, the player's salary can also be excluded from the team's payroll.

It is worth mentioning that this summer, Big Brother Steve Francis, who suffered from injuries after leaving the Rockets, also announced his retirement. The two brothers, who had a good relationship, left the NBA.

Experts evaluated the game and generally believed that the Suns were aiming for 70+ wins again. As long as he does it, this will be the fifth time in Guo Xu's career that he has won 70+ games in the regular season, which is an incredible record.

The next day, the Warriors broke big news, diverting people's attention from discussing Guo Xu.

The star big man Elton Brand, whom the Warriors poached with a high-paying long-term contract in the summer, only played 14 games before being reimbursed.

Even if he is not reimbursed, Brand has disappointed Warriors fans. He only performed well in the opening game and then failed.

He averaged 32 minutes per game, 14.4 points, 9.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.6 blocks. His field goal percentage was only 44.7%, his free throw percentage was 67.6%, and his true shooting percentage was an outrageous 48.4%, all of which were career lows.

How can the team win if an inside player's scoring efficiency is so low?

To make matters worse, the Warriors' entire team performed poorly when Brand was on the court, and Kobe's performance in particular would be inhibited.

Although Brand is slightly shorter for the power forward position, he is still one of the most traditional power forwards in the league. At his peak, his excellent low-post moves and precise mid-range jump shots made him look like Karl Malone.

Then the question arises, Kobe Bryant specializes in defeating Malone, whether he is really Malone or looks like Malone. Because Kobe himself was once called Little Malone, the shooting hot spots overlap with Malone and Brand.

When Brand and Kobe cooperate, they have to reduce low-post attacks and increase the number of catch-and-shoot mid-range shots after being pulled out for screens. The effect of playing this way is not good, because he is not tall enough, and his mid-range shot is easily interfered by the opponent, affecting his shooting rate.

On the defensive end, Brand is better at fighting people than defending pick-and-rolls, and he also overlaps with Big Z Ilgauskas.

He is not fast enough, and after a serious Achilles tendon rupture last season, it had a significant impact on his athletic ability. In Guo Xu's previous life, Kobe Bryant was seriously injured in 2013 when he ruptured his left Achilles tendon and couldn't run anymore.

Brand's injury this time was a severe dislocation of his shoulder, which required surgical treatment, otherwise there is a possibility of recurrence even after recovery. He will be out for at least 6 months and will definitely not be back this season.

Kobe was going crazy. He thought the team signed a powerful inside star to assist him, but it turned out that he was a CBA teammate and a glass man. If the Warriors fail to make the playoffs for two consecutive seasons, his evaluation will have to be lowered, and his popularity will be almost gone if it drops further.

Kobe has no confidence in leading the Warriors into the playoffs with his personal abilities. Previously, the Warriors were 7-7 and only ranked 11th in the Western Conference. He doesn't cooperate well with his teammates. His personal statistics are good but it's hard to win. He's as helpless as Pierce in previous years.

Now Kobe is beginning to miss Zen Master Phil Jackson. The Lakers' triangle offense is a tactic that is very suitable for him. It also focuses on singles by stars, and teammates can also play a role. He didn't even know what tactics the Warriors coached by Woodson used. It seemed like they were just fighting one-on-one.

Warriors owner Chris Cohan is even more depressed. Brand has been reimbursed for two consecutive seasons and his value will definitely depreciate after his comeback. This will directly affect his plan to sell the team in the summer. If there is a junk contract, the other party may lower the offer.

What he hopes most now is that the team will be in trouble next time, and he will try to select a high-ranking rookie to train and increase the team's transaction value. But Kobe obviously won't agree to mess up, and the Warriors are once again in a dilemma...
