Legend of Tomorrow

The Blazers attacked and continued to play pick-and-rolls in the middle. Stoudemire relied on his speed to get rid of it and then distributed the ball to the middle. 22 to 17.

Rashid's real height is 211cm, with a wingspan of 229cm. It is difficult for Guo Xu to reach the ball without jumping.

When the Lakers attacked, Guo Xu took him to the frontcourt and was uncovered. He passed to Fox on the right side behind Stoudemire. The latter gave O'Neal a lob. miss.

The Blazers' offense was in the same old pattern again. This time Rasheed caught the ball, O'Neal defended it, and Guo Xu chased the defender. Rashid passed the ball, and Stoudemire was caught by Guo Xu before he could turn around.

Guo Xu has no privileges on the offensive end. On the defensive end, he can use the best attitude to complete the tasks assigned by the coach and will never let Stoudemire break through easily. The latter did not force the attack and passed to the cutter Bunch Wells.

Wells is Pippen's substitute. He is 196cm tall and weighs 95kg. He is characterized by super explosive power and is unstoppable when he rushes up. Harper pulls a foul and sends him to the free throw line.

Wells made two free throws, 22 to 18.

With two minutes left, both sides began to make substitutions during the dead ball. Madsen and George came on, and Harper and Grant were replaced.

Guo Xu didn't have a good chance in the next round. The players played according to the tactics arranged by the coach. O'Neal singled out Davis and scored with a turn hook. The Blazers fouled in the next round, and O'Pang made a free throw. Before the end, Fox made an air cut from the baseline, received a pass from O'Fang, forced a layup and fouled, and made two free throws.

On the side of the Blazers, Wells scored two points for a breakthrough layup, and Smith made two free throws for a foul.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers lead 26 to 22.

In the NBA, the interval between the end of the first quarter and the start of the second quarter, the end of the third quarter and the start of the fourth quarter is 130 seconds, and the interval between the end of the second quarter and the start of the third quarter is 15 minutes; the short timeout is 20 seconds, and there are two kinds of long timeouts. 100 seconds and 60 seconds.

Phil Jackson doesn't like to call a timeout and the rules are also directly related. He likes to take advantage of this time to change players and arrange tactics. The five players in the second quarter are Guo Xu, Ryder, George, Grant, and Foster.

Jason is the main attacker with the ball in the positional battle, Greg plays the pick-and-roll in the middle, and Hores covers without the ball on the side, helping Ryder catch the ball and shoot. Grabbing the rebound, Jason can quickly advance and launch a counterattack.

Everyone knew that Guo Xu was about to take over. He played 4 minutes in the first quarter, but the coach still didn't intend to let Brian Shaw play.

Jackson also hopes that someone can lead the Lakers' offense off the bench. Bryson Shaw is not good, and it is difficult to average 5 points per game.

If Ryder is allowed to play around with the ball, people have already seen it in the preseason, and it will be a mess. Now, Jackson wants Guo Xu to bring up the rhythm and try to let the OK group rest for a while.

In his mind, Guo Xu set the performance time to three minutes. If the opponent overtakes the score, he will replace O'Neal and Kobe as soon as possible, and start to play the deadly main game that he is good at.

Grant played to deal with the Blazers' substitute insider Sean Kemp. Although Rain Man declined last season, his name is still very bluffing. Jackson sent a veteran to limit it. He couldn't believe Madsen.

The Blazers played five players, Greg Anthony, Stacy Augmon, Bunch Wells, Rasheed Wallace, and Sean Kemp.

From the personnel adjustment, it can be seen that the Blazers want to win this game. The team's top star Rasheed played the first quarter, and now he is coming up to bring a substitute. Dunleavy wants him to play the whole game.

The Trail Blazers rookie point guard Eric Barkley, the 28th pick in the first round of this year, is still quietly guarding the drinking fountain on the sidelines. Unless it is garbage time, the coach can't think of this person.

The game continued, the Lakers had the ball, Guo Xu saw that Kemp was playing the center, and gestured towards Foster for cover from beyond the three-point line. Foster froze for a moment, but decided to cover the three-point line and block Anthony.

Greg Anthony, born in 1967, is a veteran of the league. He was the 12th pick in the first round of 1991. He is 183cm tall and weighs 80kg. In his peak 95-96 season, he averaged 14 points, 2.5 rebounds, 6.9 assists and 1.7 steals per game in the Vancouver Grizzlies. He was once a fast guard.

But after that season, Anthony was seriously injured twice, and his physical fitness declined in an all-round way. Last season, he averaged only 6.3 points and 2.5 assists per game. He is afraid of confrontation, and his speed has become ordinary.

Guo Xu easily got rid of Anthony with a screen and went to the right side. The inside did not switch out. Guo Xu moved a step sideways and made an emergency stop jump shot. It was another 70-degree three-pointer on the right side. Kemp was in a daze at the corner and didn't even reach out.

Guo Xu was very well prepared. Two years of shooting was not for nothing. His sense of rhythm was perfect and he scored another three-pointer.

29 to 22. Guo Xu scored 8th personally.

Woodson sighed: Jason Guo performed very well on the offensive end. He made 3 of 3 shots after playing. He refused to go to other teams for trial training at the beginning. No team forced him to choose him. Now he probably regrets it.

Horvath smiled and said: He is also very lucky. Fisher's injury gave him an opportunity to rise. It depends on whether he can seize it. Kemp is directly responsible for this ball. He did not guard it. I don't know this summer. What did he do, he's completely out of shape.

The Blazers attacked and made two passes, and Wells missed Ryder's mid-range shot.

The two have similar body shapes, both are a bit round, but their movement speed is not slow. They belong to the same style. The Blazers chose Wells based on Leder.

Unfortunately, Wells' style of play is also very similar to Leder, a master of scrambling and poor shot selection. Grant grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed it to Guo Xu.

Guo Xu did not pass the ball to his teammates for a fast break, but slowly dribbled the ball through half-court.

Except for Kemp, the Blazers are not slow in returning to defense, and they cannot gain a local numerical advantage by advancing quickly. Leder waved and quickly ran to the frontcourt, but Guo Xu ignored him. Jackson looked calm when he saw this scene and applauded Guo Xu in his heart.

If Guo Xu just looks at his teammates and passes the ball and plays without thinking, his upper limit will not be very high in the future. For someone with a brain like Ryder, it is not a good opportunity to ignore him completely.

Guo Xu waved for cover again, and Foster came out to block Anthony. Guo Xu still took the ball to his favorite position on the right. Rasheed followed Grant near the bottom line penalty area and was unable to help defend. Kemp stood near the free throw line in a daze.

Kemp just joined the Trail Blazers this season and has a great reputation. It was difficult for players to express their dissatisfaction with him during the preseason. But his lax defense would hurt the team. He just stared at Foster. When Guo Xu was in the air, Dunleavy stood up on the sidelines and shouted to Kemp: Sean, switch out!

Kemp didn't react until he heard the coach's shout. It was too late to act. Guo Xu made another easy emergency stop jumper. He shot from the same position quickly, with a perfect arc, and the ball hit the net hollowly.

32 to 22, Guo Xu scored his 11th personal point and hit his third three-pointer.

O'Neal stood up on the sidelines and took the lead in applauding Guo Xu. The Trail Blazers fans were a little confused, and the booing stopped on the sidelines.

No one expected that the Lakers' last pick would be so fierce. He was so powerful all by himself!
