Chapter 1024 [Guest! Curiosity is about to explode! 】
In December, TNT TV invited Guo Xu to be the guest of commentator, and O'Neil came to his house specially.
The fat man personally lobbying that Guo Xu could not refuse anymore and agreed to participate in the live broadcast of the Christmas war, commenting on the Warriors vs. the Clippers. He doesn't need to leave Los Angeles, he just needs to go to Staples Center.
As for spending Christmas with your family at home, having a Christmas tree to decorate, and having a turkey together, Guo Xu was completely uninterested.
He is not an American soul at all and never regards Christmas as an important holiday. His two girlfriends also have no objection to him as a guest, and they are bothered to be together every day.
TNT Radio used this incident to promote it, and the exciting live broadcast ratings soared that day.
Many fans are staying in front of the TV just to see what Guo Xu will say. He hasn't been on variety shows for a long time, and there are few street photos leaking online.
As soon as Guo Xu entered the studio, the talk show began.
He greeted the three of them and said, "I'll say it first, I'll sit at the edge. When I watched the live broadcast, I've seen you two add Kenny in the middle."
Kenny Smith was a point guard back then, 191cm tall, but he and two fat guys seemed very small. If Guo Xu were sitting between two fat guys, he would only look smaller.
However, the seats had been arranged long ago, with Guo Xu and Smith sitting in the middle, O'Neal and Barkley on both sides, which seemed to be more coordinated, and the guests were arranged in this way.
The tables in the live broadcast room were filled with delicious food and drinks, including roasted turkey. Today is Christmas, and the game time is evening. They can eat and explain. The festive atmosphere is very strong and not at all reserved.
Barkley first interviewed Guo Xu. "Jason, Meghan broke something on an interview show before and made me curious about it. Can you tell me what you think?"
Guo Xu asked back: "She often reveals news with her big mouth, what are you talking about?"
Barkley smiled and said, "Last month, Meghan and Alexandra gave you a birthday card. She said it was a magic card. As long as you write your wish on it, they can help you achieve whatever it is."
Barkley said, and a close-up of the card was released on the big screen of TNT Live. In addition to the words written by Meghan, there were also two shy cartoon expressions.
When Guo Xu thought of this, his legs and feet felt a little weak, his body was hollowed out, and he smiled awkwardly: "It's this..."
Barkley asked with a smile: "The wish you wrote is to hope that Manchester United will return to the top? Why? Why do you have such a wish? Don't you think they are hinting at you?"
Guo Xu swallowed and covered his face with one hand and sighed: "You don't understand. Now my body shape is very similar to Batman's version of Bell? His height is also 183cm... But if I wrote the kind of wish you thought, you will soon see Bell in "Mechanic". Then you might think I'm taking drugs."
The three of them laughed in the studio and folded their backs, while O'Neal slapped his thighs wildly. The audience in front of the TV was also laughing so hard that the car was driving unexpectedly.
Finding two girlfriends is not something that ordinary people can do, let alone two celebrity girlfriends with extremely hot figures? When Guo Xu admitted that he would be too strong, he would have been on holiday at home after retirement, which is different from when he often went away when playing basketball.
Many people can understand this meme. As we all know, the actor who plays Batman, Christian Bale, is a person with superpowers to control weight, and he is sometimes fat and sometimes thin. He weighs 85 kilograms in "Batman" and only 55 kilograms in "Mechanic", with his skin wrapped around his bones.
Guo Xu didn't think he could really lose weight like that. After all, his diet was much better than that of ordinary people, just a joke.
Smith asked: "Which team do you predict which team wins today?"
O'Neal talked about the Warriors first, and Guo Xu also talked about the Warriors.
Barkley gave a different answer: "I am optimistic about the Clippers' winning goal. Chris Paul is one of the best leaders in the league. His performance is more stable than Curry, but he lacks good teammates."
O'Neal smiled and said, "Lack of a good center is a fatal weakness, and the Clippers cannot win."
The most scarce position in the league is the center, and the All-Star vote has cancelled the center. The Clippers' starting center is Anderson Valaijo, Ryan Hollings and Byron Mullens, and Dalemport was poached by the Bucks.
The flaws of these three centers are obvious. The first two are blue-collar workers, Mullens is good at shooting, and the defensive end is a black hole.
After the game started, both sides sent their usual starters, and the Warriors gradually gained the upper hand.
It turns out that the Clippers dug up Valaijo for 25 million in three years was a mistake. After two major injuries, the speed of the "Brazil Actor" became very slow. They could only defend the penalty area and could not defend well. The defender broke through. Even at its peak, Valaijo, who is a blue-collar man with a flesh shield, was only average in defense.
Valejo is now the most troublesome center of Lopez. He doesn't attack the basket, but most of the time he pulls out to cover it, and only cuts when he is misplaced. If Valejo doesn't save near the penalty area, Curry and Redick may catch the ball and take action immediately on the outside.
Even if he is as strong as Paul, he cannot completely ignore the big man's cover and always keep close to Curry. If Curry is thrown away, Paul cannot be blocked. He is at a loss. His weakness is exactly the same as Guo Xu.
Curry made two three-pointers in this quarter, both of which were screened and Paul got rid of the ball and took the ball. The inside did not change defense in time.
Some pseudo-fans will say that playing like this is not a skill. If you have the ability, you can break through with the ball or forcefully shoot against others. In fact, Curry will also play the same way they are talking about, but he did not do this in the face of Paul.
The Clippers' inside offense has been severely hindered. Valaijo used to show off his open mid-range shots occasionally. In the past two years, he has more rest time and less playing time, and his shooting sights have deteriorated.
Griffin's mid-range shot is still unstable, with a shooting percentage of less than 40%. It will be effective if he stands in front of him and interferes with it casually. The Clippers' coach was replaced by Doug Rivers, which brought some tactics and could not help the players practice shooting well.
The Clippers' starting shots were Paul and Jared Dudley. The Warriors players were sluggish near the penalty area and they were 11 points behind and entered the second quarter.
The rotational players competed with the Clippers were not the Warriors' opponent. The score difference was quickly widened to 20 points, and it ended with a 22-pointer trailing in the first half.
Steve Blake, Tkoglu, Jamison, Glen Davis, Danny Granger... The Clippers' substitutes are very famous and have played good numbers before. If they are all in their peak period, it will be very scary.
Unfortunately, all of them have declined in form and cannot even be called a good role player. The only substitute with the Clippers is Jamal Crawford.
This is not because the fans are looking for reasons for Paul's failure to win the ball, but because of the cruel reality.
Since leaving Magic in 2009, Tkoglu has played worse and worse, with high salary and low ability. The Heat cut Granger before he even waited for him to expire. He could not bear it anymore.
Jamison and Davis are both inefficient scorers, and are good at efficiently missing people on the defensive end. Moreover, Jamison is 37 years old this year, and Davis is 133 kilograms.
Blake was ruined by frequent injuries. As a point guard, he was slower than the shooting guard. How could he defend?
The Clippers' rotation lineup is very poor in offense and defense, all relying on Crawford to grab the points.
The Warriors' substitutes are all in their first year of playing, with super athletic ability, blooming in multiple points, and balancing offense and defense.
