Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 934 [Outbreak! It’s time to rise]

On the 27th, other teams in the league appeared one after another, and there were some fierce games.

In the Thunder's home opener, they lost to the Bulls 106-115.

The Bulls are missing two strong defensive players in Joakim Noah and Luol Deng. Compared with Guo Xu's previous life, the defensive end is worse. But their offense has become stronger. Wings Nick Young and Salmons can play in isolation and catch and shoot. Ray Allen and Rose's offense is even stronger.

The inside players also performed well. Millsap made 8 of 13 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 1 of 2 free throws. He scored 18 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals. Substitute Taj Gibson also scored 12 points and 6 rebounds.

The Bulls' biggest weakness is the center. The management signed Milicic, who was in decline, at a low price in September to start, with newcomer Asik and veteran Kurt Thomas as substitutes.

Thibodeau arranged a zone defense system, which to a certain extent made up for the lack of individual defensive ability of Bulls players. The most important person on the defensive end is Millsap, and the team needs him to defend the pick-and-roll.

On the offensive end, Millsap also won a lot of ball rights. In Guo Xu's previous life, the Bulls hired Boozer. Millsap's tasks were similar to his, including catching and shooting, occasionally cutting and attacking with the ball.

If they can beat the Thunder, the Bulls will definitely be competitive in the Eastern Conference, and Rose is also an MVP contender. He produced star statistics last season, averaging 20.8 points and 6 assists per game.

The Thunder's problem is a lack of coordination. They mainly rely on the individual abilities of their stars to win. Westbrook and Horford's pick-and-roll is the only visible tactic.

Experts analyzed the Thunder's tactics last season. Wei Shao speeded up and used speed to kill opponents in counterattacks; DeRozan was responsible for leading the bench; Horford was responsible for sorting out the offense; Durant was responsible for stabilizing the situation and grabbing points at critical moments.

To sum it up simply, it’s a blind fight.

It’s hard to imagine that Scott Brooks won the best coach award last season.

In Guo Xu's previous life, DeRozan's performance relied on breakthroughs and mid-range shots. Now he has not yet mastered the mid-range shot and does not have much ball rights. He is worse off than Harden in the Thunder.

Because he cannot shoot three-pointers, he has always been an inefficient scorer. After averaging more than 8 free throws per game in many seasons, his peak true shooting percentage was only 55%. He also likes to shoot big two-pointers, with a peak shooting rate of 41.4%.

If he didn't have so many shots to practice his touch, DeRozan might have been an ordinary role player for the rest of his life if he didn't leave the Thunder, and his upper limit would be a sixth man at most.

The Warriors beat the Rockets 134-110 in the first game.

The new season is very strong.

Kobe made 18 of 24 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 9 of 12 free throws, scored 46 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, shooting 75% from the field, a huge explosion!

Curry, known as System Redick by fans, also had 22 points and 10 assists, with both shooting percentages exceeding 50%.

Bynum returned from injury and scored a double-double with 12 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks.

Brand's condition has also improved slightly, with 14 points and 8 rebounds, with a shooting percentage of 50%. If he were an ordinary role player, he would be fully qualified as a starting power forward, but his contract is too pitiful.

Among the starters, only Luol Deng had an average performance, making 2 of 7 shots and scoring 6 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists with two free throws.

The Warriors' substitute lineup includes swingman Reggie Williams, the shooting guard Real Redick who was renewed in the summer, the physically talented combo guard Jerry Bayless, and the high-ranking interior rookie Greg Monroe. Shooting softie big man David Anderson.

If Brazilian Lightning Barbosa was still there, the Warriors would have stronger outside substitutes. However, he was dissatisfied with having too little possession of the ball. In the summer, he offered to trade and was sent to the Pistons in exchange for Bayless.

Barbosa is not qualified to pick a team. Joining the Pistons is terrible for him. Detroit is on the verge of bankruptcy and uninhabitable. There is also Ben Gordon on the team who has a similar style to him. Bayless couldn't be reused in the Pistons, and neither was he.

The Warriors performed very well in the preseason, ranking 9th in the league on the official strength list, and Little General Johnson also did a good job as head coach.

When coaching the Mavericks, Johnson liked to arrange singles tactics and give full play to the stars' one-on-one abilities. His style of play tended to be a triangle offense, which combined some characteristics of the Mavericks and Lakers.

Kobe is the team's first offensive point with the ball, and one-on-one is an opportunity. Little Shark Bynum is responsible for pivoting in the low post and is a weakened version of Big Shark. The coaching staff also arranged off-ball tactics for Curry, like a weakened version of Guo Xu.

The Warriors' style of play was in line with the Lakers' Big Three, and they finally started to win.

The one who was affected was Luol Deng. The coach didn't arrange tactics for him, he just played casually, and the data couldn't be good. However, he has signed a high-paying long-term contract, so it doesn't matter if he has no data. He can focus more on the defensive end.

The time has come for the Warriors to rise, and experts predict they will make the playoffs.

Because of Harden's eye-catching performance last season, the Kings' game also received widespread attention. In the first game, they defeated the underdog Timberwolves 111-105 on the road.

The Kings management let go of Jason Richardson and Raymond Felton in the summer, and the lineup has obviously become weaker, except that Harden and Lopez are not strong in pick-and-rolls.

In Guo Xu's previous life, the Kings were the league's top playoff contender, failing to make the playoffs for 12 consecutive years. This was all the fault of the management themselves. They were unwilling to offer big contracts to role players to retain them, and the manager's draft vision was poor. Unreliable.

Harden can become an ordinary star here. If he wants to become a superstar, he must leave the Kings in the future.

The Suns faced the Jazz away from home in Game 2. The Jazz's strength declined compared to last season.

Center Memit Okur, who had been selected as an All-Star, was scrapped due to injury. The Jazz also failed to exchange Al Jefferson from the Timberwolves and could only start with Kelelo Fishenko.

Feishenko, who is 216cm tall and weighs 131kg, moves slowly and is poor in pick-and-roll defense. Deron Williams is a heavy defender and is not fast enough to pursue him. These all create opportunities for Guo Xu to explode.

In the first quarter, Guo Xu and Roy had average touch, and the Jazz led by 3 points.

As soon as the lineup was rotated in the second quarter, the Suns quickly overtook the score. There was a big gap between the strength of the Jazz's bench and starting lineup, and they fell behind by 6 points entering the second half.

The Jazz's overall offense is not bad. Deron, CJ Miles, Batum, and David West work well together. Kirilenko can only play as a substitute because his shooting is not good enough.

Guo Xu broke out in the third quarter, hitting 6 three-pointers in a single quarter, widening the point difference to 17 points entering the final quarter.

In the last quarter, Guo Xu continued to play and continued his touch. He relied on covering runs to catch and shoot three-pointers, and shot three-pointers during the counterattack. He hit four three-pointers in 5 minutes, widening the point difference to 27 points and entering garbage time.

Guo Xu played 38 minutes, making 19 of 30 shots, 13 of 20 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, and scored 57 points, 2 rebounds, 7 assists, and 3 steals.

On the 29th, they faced the Lakers back-to-back at home, and the Suns won 126-114.

This game was quite intense. Guo Xu played 42 minutes and scored 41 points, 5 rebounds, 13 assists and 2 steals.

With two consecutive games of 40+ points, more and more people are optimistic that Guo Xu will win the scoring title this season. He can score high points as long as he ensures playing time, and his teammates can help him create singles opportunities.

Guo Xu is one-on-one with the ball far away from the basket. After attracting double-teams, he can easily provide assists. Without double-teams, he can find opportunities to shoot and score.

The Lakers can't guard him. The 36-year-old Fisher is slower than last season. Ellis has always relied on his body to defend, and there is nothing he can do against Guo Xu, who has many dribbling tricks.

Double-teaming Guo Xu, he is not the only one who plays key goals for the Suns. Roy is also very efficient in one-on-one situations with the ball. Since the start of the game, his overall shooting percentage has reached 51.2%, and he still averaged 1.7 three-pointers per game. This was achieved on the premise of a three-point shooting rate of 38.3%.
