Chapter 1137 [58 You will not be 58 every time]
On March 9, the Lakers defeated the Cavaliers back-to-back 112-107 at home.
Guo Xu's 107 points record has not been discussed enough, but he scored terrifying 74 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists against the Cavaliers, four of which were frontcourt rebounds.
Guo Xu abused his former teammate Isaiah Thomas, and in the counterattack he hit him with three-pointers, and made 13 of 20 shots from the outside. It is rare to encounter someone shorter than him. Guo Xu's playing style is simple and effective.
Thomas also scored 40 points and 9 assists, but it was on the premise that Guo Xu deliberately let the water go.
Big-name stars are unwilling to join the Cavaliers, and the management can only train stars through drafts. Cleveland is a city that is very suitable for Thomas' development. As long as he is not seriously injured, he will definitely get a big contract in the future.
Thomas is now extremely popular in the local area. After James left, he became the core of the Cavaliers and his data improved every season. He averaged 26.5 points and 6.2 assists per game, but the team's record was poor. In addition, he was injured during the Star Weekend and failed to be selected as the All-Star.
The Cavaliers publicized the "strongest 175cm on the surface" to the outside world, giving Thomas unlimited shots. If the team does not enter the playoffs, he does not have to go on the field with injuries like a parallel world, and his fate has completely changed.
During an interview, the two praised each other.
Guo Xu said that Thomas will definitely become an All-Star in the future, while Thomas said that he and Guo Xu learned a lot, otherwise their strength would not reach the level of today.
Los Angeles media reported that Guo Xu's news has a new topic, believing that he has the ability to "turn stones into gold" and can help his teammates improve. Dragic, Lowry, Thomas and other low-couple defenders and he has learned skills, all became stars.
Guo Xu is much better than other stars in this regard. Some people want to be surrounded by a team of all-stars in combat. If they don’t join forces, they will not have the confidence to compete for the championship. Guo Xu is better at helping young teammates become stars.
More people are optimistic about Devin Booker. Experts believe that as long as he learns to switch between playing with Guo Xu and playing without the ball, he may become a star of Roy and Klay Thompson in the future.
The person who was caught in the shooting was defender Jordan Clarkson. Many people on the Internet think that Clarkson is useless. For the sake of the ball, he gave up the opportunity to be a teammate with Guo Xu, and his strength is limited.
Los Angeles fans generally believe that Clarkson is doing well, and he has good data in the Jazz, fans don’t think it’s a pity. Because Tucker is more suitable for the Lakers system, his defense is very tough, Clarkson will not help the team win, and can only brush the data.
In addition to the previous game against the Wizards, while the Lakers won three consecutive games, Guo Xu scored 60+ in three consecutive games.
After three days of rest, on March 13, the Lakers played against the weak Knicks at home.
There is a big gap in strength between the two sides, and Guo Xu is not defensive, and this time the whole team is not defensive. Tucker and Robertson are not directly on the 12-man roster and are resting.
With the Lakers' efforts to let the water go, Cameron Anthony was in a prestigious game, scoring 57 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists, and veteran Calderon also scored 25 points.
However, Guo Xu's scored more than both of them combined, scoring 85 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, leading the Lakers to win 16 points.
In the last quarter, the Knicks surrounded Guo Xu and it was difficult for him to receive the ball after passing the ball. If he hadn't defended like this, he might have scored more than 100 points on the Knicks again.
Guo Xu regarded himself as a shooting guard, and did not pass the ball without passing it. He scored 14 three-pointers, 20 free throws, and 19 hits. During the counterattack, the Knicks had no defender to keep up with his speed, so he could only use fouls to stop him.
He has three consecutive games of 70+, setting a record, and the data in the past week is incredibly strong.
Guo Xu also played 30+ games in 66 consecutive games this season, breaking Chamberlain's long-sealed historical record. At that time, this record was considered to be never broken.
Chamberlain's record of 40+ games in 14 consecutive games has been broken by Guo Xu before, with 16 consecutive games. He has a record of 50+ games in 7 consecutive games, and Guo Xu has started to make an impact again, and he has played four consecutive games.
Many fans on the Internet think that Guo Xu's idea of hitting 50+ records is too conservative. With his current state, it is entirely possible to 60+ games in 7 consecutive games.
Lakers fans enjoyed watching every game, saying that Guo Xu was back to break the record. In the 2002-03 season, Kobe's 40+ games were hyped by the media for 9 consecutive games in the regular season and the Lakers failed to defend their title. Now, they can't compare with Guo Xu anymore.
Guo Xu's shortcomings in playing like this are also very obvious. Everyone knows that the main defense is his score, so he doesn't have to worry about passing the ball. Even if he attracts double-teams to pass it out, his teammates may not choose to shoot.
On the 15th, the Lakers lost to the Clippers in the same city with 14 points, and the winning streak was ended. Guo Xu's personal record did not end, scoring 61 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists.
In order to score, his rebounding competition became more active, and he directly attacked for a second time with a rebound in the frontcourt.
His jumping power is amazing. When his teammates take action, he can also judge the direction of the ball popping out. Sometimes he will jump faster than the big guy on the defense and hit a tip-in. In addition, he will occasionally pick up two backcourt rebounds, and the rebound count can exceed five.
This is Westbrook's style of playing. He is very active in rebounding. He has 2.2 frontcourt rebounds in the rookie season. This season he averaged 1.9 frontcourt rebounds and 6 backcourt rebounds, which is not like a point guard.
In fact, this style of play hurts the team. Once the point guard cannot grab the frontcourt rebound, the opponent will fight back, the guard will get the opportunity to misalign the big guy. But Guo Xu still did this. He was not very serious in defense and focused on scoring.
He must use any means, otherwise it is impossible to average 50 points per game. It doesn't matter if the Lakers lose, and the worst result is just losing the home advantage of the Western Conference Finals. He is not afraid of away games.
Chris Paul has been scored with super data by Guo Xu in every game this season. He is almost depressed and is not happy even if he wins. Everyone who watches the game knows that he is not Guo Xu's opponent one-on-one, and wins by the overall victory.
When the Clippers were leading, Paul was regarded as sticky balls and delayed time.
Fortunately, Guo Xu scored a three-pointer in 22 seconds, locking the data at 61 points. If Guo Xu only scored 58 points in the end, fans would hate Paul, and Guo Xu's record of 60+ consecutive records would be cut.
Guo Xu also breathed a sigh of relief after scoring the goal, 58 you won’t be 58 every time!
Guo Xu's recent goal has become a record of 60 consecutive times. He doesn't care about losing at all, just to get high scores.
The Clippers' worst performance was not Paul, but forward Josh Smith. He joined the Clippers with a salary cut and wanted to win the championship, but was cut by the team in early January. His performance was very bad, averaging 15 minutes per game, scoring 5.7 points, 4 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.1 blocks, and his shooting percentage was only 38.3%.
Josh, who became a libero, did not want a strong team. He joined the Pacers at the end with a basic salary. This team should be able to make the playoffs, but it is absolutely impossible to win the championship.
Josh has become a laughing stock online because he rejected the Lakers' invitation last summer and chose the Clippers in the same city.
The Lakers management did not know what record the Lakers could achieve at the beginning, and felt that the team's lineup was not strong, so they kept a low profile and did not say that some veterans would reject it. By the end of December, the Lakers confirmed their rise, and Kupchek exposed some things in the media.
When Josh didn't give him face, he didn't have to give him some topical news, which could further increase the Lakers' attention and enhance the team's commercial value.
