Legend of Tomorrow

In Guo Xu's previous life, a famous book called Money Ball Theory was published in 2003. After that, all NBA teams increased their shots from beyond the three-point line.

As long as the three-point shooting percentage reaches 35%, it can beat a team that shoots 50% from the mid-range range. Does this make sense?

The answer is to a certain extent, but 35% of three-pointers cannot be shot casually, and it also involves many indicators such as offensive rebound rate and foul success rate. It is definitely not just shooting three-pointers. The same must be emphasized. Inside scoring.

The essence of the magic ball theory is three-pointers, which does not exclude scoring under the basket, but excludes two points from long distance. There is no doubt that for players, it is easier for players who are good at shooting three-pointers to rack up statistics than those who are good at shooting two-pointers!

Guo Xu's first choice in the pick-and-roll was not to break through, but to shoot. He took a step sideways and saw his opponent retreating, and immediately stepped back to the right side to shoot a 70-degree jumper for a three-pointer. Of course Ostertag will not rush to the outside to defend the defender. This is an open shot.

Guo Xu felt uncomfortable not shooting in the last quarter. He was very well prepared and the ball hit the net hollowly. 19 to 27.

When returning to defense, Guo Xu and O'Neal smiled and clapped their hands. O'Neal had no data, but he took credit for the goal.

Horvath shouted: Beautiful! Jason Guo returned a three-pointer. He made good use of O'Neal's screen.

Woodson lamented: It seems that his performance on the field was not an accident. He is a person who dares to take offensive responsibilities and has the strength. O'Neal is willing to cover him.

The Jazz attacked, and Lewis received a pass from Vaughn on the weak side, forced a layup, caused Leder to foul, and made two free throws. 19 to 29.

When serving the baseline ball, George made a stupid mistake. He used too little force and was directly intercepted by Marshall. He rushed into the boundary and fouled Marshall who was about to lay up. The referee took care of the home team and did not give Marshall a free throw opportunity, but the ball was returned to him. Jazz up.

Guo Xu was speechless. George is the kind of person who performs very well in training, but cannot show his full strength once it comes to official games. His mental quality is very poor.

O'Neal stared at George for a few times, because he couldn't resist scolding him during the game.

The out-of-bounds ball was issued, Marshall made a single and Grant made an emergency stop and missed the ball, and George got the rebound.

In the Lakers position battle, Guo Xu and O'Neal played a pick-and-roll in the middle, breaking away from Vaughn and breaking into the three-point line. The person who changed defense was Marshall.

Marshall is 206cm tall and weighs only 99kg. He is a fast-moving swingman at the 3rd and 4th positions and does a good job switching defenders. Guo Xu caught a glimpse of O'Neal cutting and passed the ball to the center.

O'Neal rushed forward and was unstoppable. Marshall turned around and defended too late. Ostertag let go of Grant to cover and hugged O'Neal. The referee blew the whistle and made two free throws.

The Lakers made a substitution, and Kobe Bryant, who had only rested for less than two minutes, came on and replaced Grant. Jackson's adjustment is aimed at the Jazz's lineup. George will not suffer any disadvantages when he plays the defensive end at position 4 against Marshall. During the offense, Marshall will defend the pick-and-roll, and he can pass the ball to George and directly pull out to challenge Ostertag.

The Jazz also made adjustments, with Stockton and David Benoit on, Russell and Vaughn off. These few times on the defensive end, Vaughn's pursuit was too slow to meet Sloan's requirements, and his organizational skills were too ordinary.

O'Neal missed both free throws and the ball was given to the Jazz.

The strong strength allows him to dominate the basket and be unbeatable, but it also brings disadvantages to him, that is, his shooting touch is not soft and his free throws are very poor.

During the Jazz position battle, Stockton passed the ball to Benoit who was running away. The latter caught the ball and shot a jumper as soon as he came on the court. The shot was blocked by Kobe who was chasing him. O'Neal picked up the ball and found that Guo Xu was about to leave and shouted. Reach for the ball.

Guo Xu defeated Stockton in the game. O'Neal ignored the tactics at first glance and sent a long pass to the frontcourt with one hand. Guo Xu turned his head while running and received the fast pass with both hands, and took a big step forward to adjust. Center of gravity, take off with both feet,

One-handed basketball into.

21 to 29, Guo Xu scored his 5th individual point.

Horvath commented: Jason is really not easy. It is difficult to catch such a long ball. If you are not careful, you will make a mistake.

Woodson laughed: He plays very smart. It is impossible for the 38-year-old Stockton to outrun him. The Jazz do not have a fast point guard, which is a weakness.

When the Jazz attacked, it was difficult for Stockton to break through after being entangled by Guo Xu. His condition had already begun to decline, and he mainly relied on shooting and assists to help the team.

Lewis relied on Ostertag to cover and run without the ball. He caught the ball and shot a three-pointer. This time Leder caught up and successfully interfered. The ball missed the basket and the rebound was grabbed by O'Neal.

In the Lakers' position battle, Guo Xu dribbled to the frontcourt, and O'Neal stood near the free throw line. It was Ostertag who was the main defender. Sloan didn't dare to let the big center guard George. That was an obvious mismatch.

Guo Xu was one step in front of the three-point line in the middle. He glanced at Kobe who was asking for the ball on the right and suddenly pulled up and made a three-pointer. Even though Stockton was experienced, he didn't react. He didn't jump, he just stretched out his hand.

In the NBA, newcomers are generally cautious when they appear on the court, fearing that they will annoy the coach if they don't play according to tactics. With the OK combination on the court, Stockton predicted that Guo Xu would pass the ball, but the opponent unexpectedly fired a cold arrow. .

The arc of the ball was perfect and it hit the net! 24 to 29, Guo Xu scored his 8th individual point.

When returning to defense, Guo Xu raised a single fist high, and the fans applauded, and the difference between the two sides narrowed further.

Kobe looked at Guo Xu with mixed emotions.

Back then, he was also like a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and dared to shoot when he had the opportunity, including throwing three non-sticks and missing the lore. He clearly felt that Guo Xu and himself belonged to the same kind of people. He was very low in the ranking, but he was very confident. This kind of person was easy to succeed.

Guo Xu can help the team, and he can also split the power. Since entering the league, Kobe has been frustrated that he has too little possession of the ball. Last season, he finally averaged 20+ points per game. If he doesn't take many shots this season, how can he get super statistics?

Kobe's worries are not unfounded. In Guo Xu's previous life, he averaged 40.9 minutes per game in the 00-01 season, took 22.2 more shots than O'Neal, scored 28.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.7 steals, and his data soared. He broke out because the team's No. 1 position was troubled by injuries and the team lacked a third scoring point. Now that Guo Xu was added, he thought a big breakout was impossible.

It doesn't matter to O'Neill, he had already won all his personal honors last season and was willing to hand out penalty kicks.

The Jazz attacked, Stockton dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, let his teammates pull away, and singled out Guo Xu with the ball to return one.

Sloan asked Stockton to play after a short rest, in order to let him use his experience to suppress his opponent. Guo Xu hit him twice in a row. If he didn't fight back, he would become a stepping stone for the rookie.

Stockton dribbled the ball into the three-point line, dribbled the ball continuously to the left, and dribbled the ball behind his back to his right hand for a step-back jumper. His movements were not fast, and his skills were perfectly connected. Guo Xu was not shaken away, and jumped up to block his eyes to defend.

Stockton has played in the league for too many years, he can find the basket with his rhythm, and the ball is scored. 24 to 31.

The Lakers attacked, and as soon as Guo Xu passed half court, Kobe reached for the ball on the right side.

If I don't pass on this look, will he become anxious? Guo Xu had no choice but to pass the ball to Kobe, leaving the other side without catching the ball. He followed Leder, who turned back and ran back, and was secretly worried.

Kobe took a step from the right to face Benoit and made a pull-up, and he also hit a three-pointer.

27 to 31, Guo Xu got his second assist, and Kobe also started to show off his power.
