During the break, Tyron Lu emphasized the defensive tactics. "Everyone defended carefully, grab the rebound and then crossed to Jason. Jason launched a fast break and decided freely whether to shoot or pass. We should try our best to strike a quick counterattack."

During the offseason dinner, Guo Xu had already expressed his thoughts. Just hand over the ball to him, and he could support the entire team's offense.

During training, he defeated his outside teammates. Even if he faced double-teams and did not pass the ball, he was more efficient than others holding the ball. In the team, he often forced double-teams and scored with incredible moves, just like the mid-range shot of Griffin and Hill just now.

Guo Xu is also preparing to seriously prevent Paul from a wave. If the Clippers don’t want to lose too ugly, they should consider stronger double-teams in the second half, so that he will not let him take action easily. In the second half, the Lakers will be able to get a chance to make a phone call.

After the game started, Paul lowered the pace. Rivers believed that this would make Guo Xu, who wanted to score high scores, uncomfortable. However, playing in this way would also affect the Clippers' overall offensive efficiency. They only had two strong ball-holding points in the positional battle.

The player passed back and forth, and Griffin's mid-range shot was missed by Horford's interference. Nurkic got the position and Guo Xu grabbed the backcourt rebound. He dribbled the ball and was hit by a pincer as soon as he crossed the court, and he divided the ball.

Horford had the chance to miss the three-pointer and took him to the free throw line to wait for Guo Xu to run and pass the ball. As soon as Guo Xu received the ball on the right, Josh Smith and Paul double-teamed.

Guo Xu looked at Carter without passing, turned around to look for the gap between Paul and Smith, and relied on Paul to collect the ball and jump to squeeze out some space. Smith did not dare to be too tight, for fear of being hit and committing a foul, so he raised his hands.

What neither of them expected was that Guo Xu still did not pass the ball to find his teammates in this situation. He threw the ball with one hand and bounced back to the rebound.

He jumped with the ball and couldn't continue to lead the ball. After throwing it out, he could run as much as possible. He showed his super explosive power, took the opportunity to get rid of the two people, jumped up and took the rebound ball and picked the basket with his right hand.

Griffin is now playing the center, carrying Nurkic but fails to react. Bass plays as a power forward and follows Horford, but he can't make up for defense. The Clippers watch Guo Xu easily enter the basketball.

70 to 58, the 42nd point in the individual.

Thackeray started dancing awkwardly on the sidelines again, and a large number of fans stood up and cheered, and Staples was in a state of excitement.

Barkley said: "Jason doesn't want to assist his teammates easily today, so he started to use his imagination to break the double team."

Smith sighed: "It's too strong. The Clippers try their best to defend him, but they can't defend him. We haven't seen such a terrifying personal performance in many years."

O'Neal smiled and said, "It's not many years, but only the past two years he retired."

In order to strengthen the defense, the Clippers sent Smith, who had poor shooting, and he was indeed empty on the perimeter. After aiming for two seconds, the three-point jump shot missed. His shooting curve was flat and the bounce was far away. Nurkicka and Guo Xu picked up another rebound.

He dribbled the ball across the half and was double-teamed, and Carter took the ball to organize it.

Under the cover of Nurkic, Guo Xu took the ball on the right side and immediately turned around without stopping, leaning against Paul in the middle and jumped up. The air pull rod avoided Griffin's block, tilted his body slightly, and went into the basketball with his right hand.

72 to 58, the 44th point in the individual.

Paul followed the defense from the side, but blocking shots was never his strength, and his jumping power was farther than Guo Xu, and he couldn't block them. He felt that today was his nightmare, and he didn't have to think about winning Guo Xu. It was impossible to win by a single fight.

Guo Xu's speed is so fast that his opponent's double-team without the ball is difficult to cover, because he can only defend himself, and the big man's speed cannot keep up with him and he cannot run without the ball.

Moreover, Guo Xu began to defend seriously. Paul had no easy shot opportunity and failed to make a breakthrough and passed it to Griffin again.

Griffin forced his way into the basket and was double-teamed. The Lakers' two inside players were one high and one fast, so he could only pass the ball without using his phone.

Bass got an open position at the bottom line on the left, and the mid-range shot hit the iron.

Bass is 203cm tall and weighs 113 kilograms. He is a short and strong inside player with a strong style. He can attack strongly and jump shots from mid-range. He is an important signing for the Clippers, but he can't make it every time he opens.

Griffin was unable to grab the frontcourt rebound when facing two rebounding strong men, but was stuck and couldn't jump up.

Horford grabbed the rebound and passed it to Booker. Crawford thought the rookie would pass the ball, but Booker broke through with the ball, and a change of direction was successful, dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and formed 2-for-2.

Booker attracted Bass to pass the ball to Guo Xu. Guo Xu rushed forward with one step to catch the ball, jumped up with all his strength, and pulled the ball back with both hands. Paul was dunked through the retreat.

He was still floating in the air, his head was almost flat, Paul jumped up and couldn't interfere, and the referee called the foul of the thug, 2+1.

When Guo Xu landed, Paul was stunned and could not believe what had just happened.

Did this guy take stimulants today? Even Ross and Wall are not so powerful, right?

Guo Xu stood on the free throw line, and all the fans shouted MVP together! He slapped the ball and then took a shot, hollow hit the free throw, 75 to 58, with a 47th point.

Rivers requested a timeout, and he found that Paul, the core of the team, had a little wrong expression and planned to change him to rest for a while. If he continued to play like this, he suspected that Paul's mentality would be seriously affected.

Rivers no longer considers winning. He plans to let the players play casually. If they fall behind too much, they will surrender in the final quarter and replace all the main players. In that way, Guo Xu can't continue playing.

As we all know, the biggest enemy that Guo Xu obtained good data before retirement is garbage time.

O'Neal sighed: "Just just started calling MVP for the opening game. Jason is really amazing and beat Paul hard. Because of the wrong decision of the management, Lakers fans waited for this day for 13 years!"

Barkley smiled and said, "Paul jumped too low when defending. He really thought he was defending the floor. Jason won the dunk contest, and he just didn't like to jump most of the time. Today he completely let go."

Replacing Paul, the Clippers are equivalent to surrender. Pablo, who is substituted, cannot fight against Guo Xu at all. When he encounters a counterattack, he doesn't know what distance he should keep with Guo Xu.

Paul sat on the sidelines, but did not ask to play.

In 3 minutes, Guo Xu made consecutive pirate shots in the counterattack, making 2 of 3 three-pointers, and his personal score reached 53 points.

The Clippers double-teamed Guo Xu even in the fast break, and he passed the ball again, assisted Carter to score a dunk and assisted Booker to make a three-pointer.

When the score difference widened to 25 points, the Clippers were completely in a mess. Crawford and Griffin shot and made a series of shots. One of them had no touch and the other had bad choices.

Griffin's forced shot of Nurkic, who was bigger than himself, was obviously not a good idea. If he didn't force him, he couldn't guarantee his shooting percentage. He still rarely made three-pointers this season, and he didn't have any accurate shots in the mid-range shots.

Paul also started sleepwalking when he came back, passing the ball in the first half, becoming a point guard like Fisher. Then he stopped running on the outside and stood waiting for the opportunity.

He was so desperate that he was abused by Guo Xu, knowing that as long as the opponent defended seriously, his speed could not be escaped. Whether he held the ball or did not have the ball, he had no choice but to deal with Guo Xu.

Even if his teammates performed well to the fourth quarter, he was still severely beaten. Guo Xu's breathing was very stable, and he didn't look tired at all, and he looked like he was fine if he played the whole game.

Guo Xu made a three-pointer against Paul, and a misplaced strong breakthrough caused Griffin to foul. He made both free throws, with 18 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists in a single quarter.
