Chapter 1111 [It's almost no solution, vigorously publicized]
The Lakers' eleventh opponent is the Suns, who started 6 wins and 4 losses this year.
Their weakness is that they lack breakthroughs. The boss Brian Colangelo thought that the swingman Allen Crabb, who was good at shooting three points, could replace Jimmy Butler, who was asking for a high salary, and he was wrong.
Letting Butler go is definitely the stupidest decision of the management. This is the most important person for the Sun. Only when he is left with him can he have a future. Now it is time to consider rebuilding.
A team cannot be a core player. Stars like Klay Thompson are more suitable to be the second leader. If there is no star who can attract double teams, Thompson will be easily defended, and the opponent can switch to prevent interference and shoot more actively.
Thompson has developed breakthrough small throws and back-shot jump shots in recent years. He can occasionally show off his skills, but cannot be a main weapon, and his shooting rate is not high.
Brandon Roy is no longer able to do it, averaging 28 minutes per game, with only 12.6 points, 2.8 rebounds and 4.4 assists. He can show his high ball quotient when handling the ball, but his speed cannot surpass that, and his shooting percentage has dropped to 43%, and his three-point shooting percentage is 35.4%.
If Guo Xu hadn't suggested that he practice three-pointers, he would have made 1.5 goals per game, and his offensive efficiency would have been unqualified.
In the game, it was easy for Guo Xu to fight Jeremy Lin alone. Jeremy Lin in this world has a championship and has never been crazy. The peak is only 14+5 data, and the defense is average.
No matter which parallel world he is in, his upper limit is a role player and he cannot become a star.
Guo Xu was not polite to his old club. He was too familiar with his former teammates and knew what balls they could block, what balls they couldn't catch up, and what fake moves they took. It didn't change much after two years.
He played 37 minutes in the game, scoring 55 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, almost 5.
The Suns home fans still gave Guo Xu warm applause, although he no longer played for the team. With 9 championships in 2011, his contribution to the Suns has surpassed all the stars in the team's history. The Suns will definitely retire his jersey in the future.
The Lakers finally lost the next game, losing to the Raptors led by point guard Damien Lillard at home.
Lillard made 9 of 20 shots, 7 of 11 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, scored 29 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, and felt better outside the three-point line than Guo Xu.
Guo Xu was in average form, playing for 43 minutes, made 13 of 30 shots, made 5 of 14 three-pointers, 11 of 12 free throws, scored 42 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists.
Once Guo Xu feels bad, the Lakers' weaknesses will appear, lacking the second strong offensive point and relying too much on his performance. Horford is the main organization, and Booker is good and bad in the second quarter, and lacks stability.
In the end, the Lakers lost 4 points 98 to 102, and Guo Xu failed to make two key balls in the last quarter.
The Raptors have a strong overall strength this season and are currently ranked second in the Eastern Conference, second only to the Nets.
The second in command of the team is Rudy Guy, who is both offense and defense good, but his weakness is that he is not good at breaking through and passing the ball. His performance mainly depends on jump shots and is not suitable to be the core of the team.
In the summer, the Raptors dug out from the Warriors to Demare Carroll, whose two-year contract expired. He has become an excellent 3D player, averaged two three-pointers per game, and shot a 37.2% shooting percentage.
With the substitute Terrence Rose and James Johnson, the Raptors have strong wing strength and are top in the East.
The Raptors in the interior include Patrick Patterson, Louis Scola, Markieff Morris, and Valanciunas. Some can shoot and some are good at low post attacks.
Especially Valanciunas can be both inside and outside, and his real shooting percentage has exceeded 60% for four consecutive seasons.
The Raptors' No. 1 substitute is Cory Joseph, who has played with the Spurs for 4 years and is also a good tall double-athlete guard.
It is normal for the Lakers to lose. It is already amazing to be able to play such a starting record as a reconstruction team. What's even more amazing is that the Lakers, who only lost one game, rank second in the West.
The Warriors started with a luxurious record of 13 consecutive victories. In the game that day, they defeated the Clippers 126-117.
Stephen Curry made 11 of 22 shots, 6 of 14 three-pointers, 12 of 12 free throws, scoring 40 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals.
Curry currently averages 33.8 minutes per game, scoring 30.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 2 steals, shooting percentage of 51.3%, three-point shooting percentage of 46.4%, and free throws of 90.8%.
If Guo Xu hadn't averaged 48.6 points, 3.3 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals per game, the data would have looked like a human being. Curry might have been able to become the third player in NBA history to do this.
Experts generally believe that as long as Guo Xu is not injured and misses many games, he will definitely win the regular season MVP of this season. He has locked in honor at the beginning, because the Lakers' winning rate will definitely be the largest in the league, and Guo Xu's data is also the most beautiful among the stars.
The Lakers may not be ranked first in terms of record, and the Warriors seem to have won 70+ wins for two consecutive seasons.
Apart from Curry, the Warriors are not weak in other positions.
Their wings are still very strong. Redick and Middleton are both good at shooting three-pointers and pulling the formation very wide. Iguodala changed to a substitute, and both Livingston can organize attacks and have stable offense and defense.
The Warriors signed the strong man who can shoot in the inside as a substitute, and there was no solution in the rotation with Brooke Lopez, Rudy Gobert, Dirk Nowitzki, and Draymond Green.
The Warriors are not only strong offensively, but also have the best defensive efficiency in the league. When Gobert, Green, Iguodala, Middleton and Curry are on the court, the defense intensity inside and outside is amazing, and the opponent can only cover and attack Curry's point.
Therefore, many people say that Curry is overrated and is a defensive black hole. In fact, it is not the case. The defense of the other four points is too strong, and it is more cost-effective for them to find opportunities from Curry.
Gobert started to show off his strength in the third season, averaging 29.7 minutes per game, scoring 12.3 points, 10.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.2 blocks. Now he has been playing for a long time, and Lopez is about to be squeezed away.
Lopez's role is mainly on the offensive end, similar to Bogut when defending, he moves slowly and can only fight people near the penalty area, has poor pick-and-roll defense ability, and is not good at rebounding.
Gobert has a large defense coverage area, strong mobility, good bounce ability, 216cm tall and 235cm wingspan.
His presence turned the Warriors into a super defensive team, Green was responsible for defending pick-and-roll, and the two were both inside and out, and the efficiency of fighting for rebounds was scary. As long as he stood under the basket, it was a kind of shock to the enemy, and no one could easily score under Gobert's defense.
He averaged 2.2 blocks per game because the attackers tried every means to walk around when they saw him, and would not jump and hit the basket casually. That was a hat-giving act.
On November 24, Guo Xu celebrated his 34th birthday. The first regular season match between the Warriors vs. Lakers will be held at home in Oakland, and the media began to vigorously promote it five days in advance.
On the 22nd, after the Lakers defeated the Trail Blazers at home, most of the reporter's questions were about the Warriors.
The Warriors defeated the Nuggets for 14 consecutive away games, and reporters asked Guo Xu to comment on the Warriors and Curry.
"I have won 14 consecutive games. They are very strong. I look forward to the game the day after tomorrow. It will be interesting to play against such an opponent." Guo Xu said with a smile.
The reporter asked: "Are you confident of defeating the Warriors?"
"For me, winning or losing in the regular season is not important. I just hope that there will be a close opponent so that I can get a stronger sense of excitement and achievement when scoring. Of course, I have the confidence to win."
The reporter asked: "What is your premonition of the match between Curry?"
