Chapter 1080 [Bottom lineup, not an opponent]

Guo Xu and his girlfriend stayed at home for two weeks and participated in the Lakers' media day event for the new season on the 29th.

The Lakers Media Day has not been so lively for 10 years. Journalists from all over the world flocked to the Staples Center. Many people entrusted their relationships everywhere, just for a reporter's seat, and interviewed Guo Xu up close.

As soon as Guo Xu appeared, he killed everyone in seconds, showing his superstar style.

He has long stopped being the spokesperson for Chevrolet Camaro. This year's new car is a grand sport vitesse la finale. This is the last of the Bugatti Veer series launched at the auto show in March this year, indicating that this generation of Veer models has officially come to an end.

Because I met Amber Hilder, Guo Xu also had some research on the car. He can not only drive this super luxury car, but also collect it in the future. It uses a red and black body paint, and a red part is added to the taillight shell, and the words "la finale" are painted on the front bumper and the rear spoiler.

This car is also a king among sports cars and deserves Guo Xu's identity. He intends to create the feeling of returning the king in the new season.

He walked into the stadium with a straight custom-made blue suit, with glasses, watches, tie, leather shoes, and "fully armed" in his speech. His aura was so strong that he made his teammates feel a little ashamed of himself.

He is here to play basketball? It seems that he wants to move the gentleman agent's stronghold from the tailor shop to the Staples Center.

After Guo Xu greeted his teammates, he took the core makeup photos first.

An embarrassing thing happened. The Lakers couldn't afford to get three stars. Except for Guo Xu, only Horford was barely considered a star and was selected for one All-Star Game. Other players were either too young or veterans with serious declines.

Lakers' chief team doctor Galley Viti is a serious, responsible and stubborn old man. He firmly refused to allow Bosh to come back. Last season, Bosh was admitted to the hospital after a thrombosis in his lungs. He looked like he was almost dead in bed. It was difficult to cure the disease, and blood clots may also appear in other parts of his body.

Moreover, according to the labor-management agreement, teams can apply for "injury removal" regulations one year after the player's last game. Next season, the Lakers have the right to apply for injury removal, so that Bosh can play the first half of the season this year, and this time will be postponed.

The Heat in the parallel world allowed Bosh to play for half a season. This was actually a very irresponsible behavior of the medical team. It was not until Bosh felt uncomfortable that he checked. He was lucky and had nothing to do, and it was completely possible that he died on the court if he was unlucky.

Later at the press conference when Bosh retired, many people expressed regret, and many people criticized the Heat management for being inhumane. Only Japanese reporters felt that Bosh was too fragile and did not love basketball enough. "We have a person named Jun Misugi..."

A Japanese reporter was kicked out of the press conference by security guards. Adults couldn't understand what kind of passionate spirit it was for primary school students to risk their lives to play a football game.

If Jun Misugi was a black American, he would suddenly faint on the football field and needed a heart transplant to save his life. The high cost of the surgery was far beyond his family's medical insurance. After a few communications, the hospital supervisor decided to remove them from the list of those who were waiting for the transplant.

This move angered his father. He angrily broke into the hospital's emergency room with a gun, kidnapped innocent medical staff and patients as hostages, and asked the hospital to perform surgery on his son immediately. This was a human nature battle that challenged morality and law. In the end, his father was nominated for Oscar, starring Denzel Washington.

In short, Bosh can't play this season. He didn't come to participate in the media day. It's useless to be dissatisfied and he can only recuperate at home.

Taylon Lu, who suddenly became the coach, didn't know who should take the core makeup photo. He looked at Guo Xu with his eyes, and his expression clearly said: "Boss, you have the idea. Whoever thinks is the core is the core."

Guo Xu said, "I'll take it myself", and Tyrone Lu would also say that this is very reasonable.

Guo Xu selected second-year rookies Nurkic and Horford, and chose veteran Vince Carter from the outside. He will become the Lakers' starting small forward in the new season, with experience and three-pointers.

Nurkic's data in the new season is almost the same. This is determined by the Lakers' tactical skills. Guo Xu especially likes to play pick-and-roll. In the triangle offense, he attracts double team members and can also pass them to his wing teammates or the low-post Nurkic.

Nurkic has the potential to become a second-rate star center. His broad body is very suitable for helping his teammates to cover his teammates, and his low-level footsteps are also good and he can attack the basket. Although his efficiency is average, his offensive end is at least not a pure blue-collar worker.

On the defensive end, Nurkic is an excellent meat shield. He can withstand most of the inside lines by weight. The disadvantage is that he lacks athletic ability and is prone to losing money when encountering pick-and-rolls, so he won't play too much time.

Last season, he averaged 18 minutes per game, scoring 7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.8 steals and 1.1 blocks, and his shooting percentage was only 44.6%. Such a player was taken as the core to take photos, which proves that the Lakers' lineup is so miserable.

Carter smiled happily when taking a photo. He felt that this was Guo Xu's respect for him. Although he was not a qualified team leader and had never been a qualified team leader, he had been selected as an All-Star 8 times.

Entering the media interview session, Guo Xu reiterated his goals for the new season. "My goal is only the championship. I have never missed the division finals since my debut. Why do I say that so many people doubt the championship?"

One reporter said: "Because the Lakers' lineup is really weak in the new season."

Guo Xu smiled and said, "I think the most important thing about the lineup is rationality, not the reputation of the players. When I first joined the Suns, only Marion was famous. My current strength is definitely stronger than the third season of my career. At that time, the Suns played a tiebreak with the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals and almost won the championship. Why can't I lead the Lakers to win the championship this year?"

After hearing what he said, the reporters began to feel that the Lakers are not weak. Compared with the Suns who are in trouble in the 2002-03 season, is the Lakers really bad in line? The Lakers have veterans, three-point shooting points, and superstars.

If it weren't for Guo Xu, the Lakers would indeed be a bottom-ranked lineup, and it would be different if he were added.

Previously, 76ers recruited troops and made trouble. The manager said in an interview that the goal was to return to the playoffs. The reporters thought Guo Xu was very arrogant. However, there was a huge gap in core abilities between the two teams and they should not be compared like this.

The reporter asked: "Which team do you think are the Lakers' biggest competitors?"

"Is this obvious? The Nets, Warriors, Spurs, their lineup is very strong and other teams are difficult to compete with."

The reporter asked: "What about the Clippers? What do you think of the competitors in the same city?"

"I don't think the Clippers are powerful opponents, or even opponents." Guo Xu said with a smile.

He was too lazy to win over the Clippers, and his record said everything. This team entered the playoffs every year and entered the second round at most. In the parallel world, the Clippers were the closest to the Western Conference Finals last season, and were reversed by the Rockets while leading 3-1.

This summer they signed a lot of people, including Josh Smith, who was cut by the Hawks. Many "experts" are optimistic about their championship competition and believe that the Clippers are very strong.

Guo Xu doesn't think that it's great if Josh can't make mid-range shots for 10 years. He relies on counterattacks, but Paul is the point guard who firmly lands in the position, which is too inconvenient.

The Lakers invited Josh to join the base salary of the summer, but he refused very arrogantly, and then rejected other teams that were willing to give him high salaries. The base salary was to join the Clippers, which was not suitable for their style.
