The gap between the two sides gradually widened, the attack of the three Lakers' giants was unstoppable, and the attack of the Wizards was limited. At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led 38-23.

Comparing the two teams in five positions, Bradley Bill, who is only No. 2 in the Wizards, has an advantage, and the Wizards' players are not as good as the Lakers' understanding, and the coach doesn't know how they can win.

In the core contest between the two sides, Guo Xu had the upper hand in all aspects.

Wall can shoot at mid-range and long distances, and if you choose to break through, you will be stared at. Whether he relies on his skills or his body, it is difficult for him to get rid of Guo Xu. However, Wall, who cannot break through, cannot exert 70% of his strength.

Center Nurkic performed well on the offensive end this season, averaging 15.5 points and 11 rebounds per game, and he may be selected into the All-Star Game. Today, he faced Adams alone and was unable to enter the penalty area. After pulling out to cover, he made the mid-range shots inaccurately, and his efficiency was reduced.

The Wizards' habitual routine is to combine the inside and the outside, and win by offense. They have four main offensive points, and there are only two left today. Bill and Love are easier to score. Both of them have the ability to hold the ball and play singles, and they can play inside and outside.

The Lakers were blooming at multiple points, and Guo Xu scored 5 points and 12 assists in a single quarter, constantly assisting his teammates.

Adams made 5 of 5 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 12 points and 5 rebounds; Horford made 5 of 6 shots, scoring 10 points and 3 rebounds.

Judging from the data, the Lakers' inside line has completely outperformed the Wizards. Now the Wizards' manager is watching live TV and suspects that the deal in summer has lost.

After introducing Nurkic, the Wizards' inside attack power has indeed improved a lot, but the Bosnian center is obviously not suitable to be a partner with Love, and both of them are very slow in lateral movement. Last season, the Lakers' No. 4 player was able to defend against pick-and-roll, and they all felt that Nurkic had defects in defense.

If you want to compete for the championship, you cannot give the team a clear weakness. Because the center position is not good enough, the Lakers lost to the Warriors three games, and finally advanced by offense.

In the inside, poor pick-and-roll defense is a fatal weakness in the small ball era. Data is only one aspect of measuring players' abilities. If you want to win, adapting to the system is the most important thing.

Love on Earth is very unlucky, his popularity continues to decline, and he always takes the blame for his failure. He is doing much better in the parallel world. Many people like him and feel that he is the big Paul Walker. Walker is still alive here. People only say that Love is a defensive black hole.

In fact, he has a very high ball quotient and comprehensive ability, but in the small ball era, he encountered difficulties, and he could not take into account both offense and defense. After losing weight, he was still a defensive black hole and often became the focus of opponent's defenders.

Today, Love has no choice but to make a breakthrough after being misplaced. He is also helpless for Durant's change of direction and pull-up jump shot. Even Booker can take advantage of Love. For Love, there is only one way he can help the team, output more firepower on the offensive end and make up for the shortcomings on the defensive end.

In short, the Wizards can only shrink to defend near the penalty area, which is a tragedy.

In the second quarter, the Lakers sent a full substitute led by Wade. The Wizards coach asked Wall, who had been resting for 4 minutes in the first quarter, to come back to lead the substitute. After 5 minutes, the Wizards narrowed the gap to only 5 points.

Wall was completely in the upper hand against Felton, and he and center Massin Gott, who dug from the Suns, always create opportunities on the pick-and-roll, ensuring offensive firepower.

Tyronlu made a mistake in using people and sent "Death Five Little Little", useless young player Zubac protecting the penalty area. Gotat relied on his height advantage to beat Harrell three times before Tyronlu allowed Zubac to play.

Gotat also has an advantage against Zubac, and Guo Xu returned to the court to suppress the Wizards' counterattack momentum.

He also knows Gott very well, which is his younger brother in the Suns back then. He knows how to play it will make Gottt uncomfortable, and the Wizards players can't defend against breakthroughs without double-teaming.

In this quarter, Guo Xu played for 7 minutes, scored 7 points and 5 assists, and a double-double of 12 points and 17 assists in the first half.

In the second half, Durant began to show his power, and received the ball and scored several goals in a row in the counterattack. The Lakers widened the gap to 24 points in one breath. Guo Xu was the person in charge of launching the counterattack, with 9 assists in a single quarter, of which 6 were given to Durant.

He scored 19 points and 26 assists in three quarters, and was about to win the second single assist in his career, 30+ in a single game.

Tyrone decisively sent all substitutes in the final quarter, even veteran Jason Terry appeared and played a double defender with Felton. This was deliberately leaving weaknesses to allow the opponent to attack and let the water go properly.

The score difference was narrowed to 11 points after 4 minutes, and the three Lakers had reason to appear together again.

As long as the former second young master of Thunder is by his side, Guo Xu will not have to worry about not getting assists. Both of them are good at taking the ball. In particular, Durant can face inside players and be able to beat him, so he can't cover him if he is not as tall as him.

Guo Xu played for 6 minutes, easily scored 2 points and 6 assists, and scored 21 points, 3 rebounds, 32 assists and 2 steals in the whole game. His goal was to score 30+ assists, and he almost didn't take any moves, and he only made a counterattack layup.

The Lakers led by 18 points, with only 2 minutes left in the game without any suspense. The Wizards replaced all the main players first, and Tyrone Lu replaced all the Big Three.

Only Guo Xu enjoyed the cheers of the fans. The home fans shouted "mvp" together. Among the active players, only he can play such super double-double data.

Durant is very envious. This is why many people disliked him joining the Lakers at the time. When there is already a superstar in the team, his starlight will be covered up by Guo Xu.

In fact, Durant is also a MVP-level star. However, under the butterfly effect of Guo Xu, he failed to win the regular season MVP in the Thunder, and only had the scoring champion. In the parallel world, Durant, who joined the Warriors, also won the FMVP twice, and his performance is always stable than Curry. He is almost impossible to succeed in joining the Lakers to compete with Guo Xu for MVP, and Guo Xu is more stable than him.

Kenny Smith commented: "Jason has superstar teammates this season, and his playing time has been shortened, and he only occasionally plays more than 35 minutes. If he plays more, I think he will be the scoring champion and assisting champion this year."

Barkley shook his head and said, "I think as long as he increases his move, he will win the first place in the two lists in 32 minutes. It is difficult for other teams to beat the Lakers, mainly because he can stand up at critical moments. He will play whatever the team needs him, just like the game against the Spurs."

At the press conference, Guo Xu said that he had no special feelings about 30+ assists. "I have scored 107 points. Is 32 assists strange? Besides, my teammates are so strong."

Guo Xu paused and smiled and said, "If I focus on passing every game and my teammates have a strong ability to seize opportunities, it is not impossible for me to challenge 20+ assists per game."

The reporter asked: "Will you try to do this in a certain season in the future?"

"Never, I made the scoring data last season, and my teammates had already sacrificed their ball rights. If I focused on making a certain data, it would be a bad thing for the team. The ball was always in my hands, so the cooperation would not be so smooth. Our overall strength in our usual style of play would be stronger. If we want to win the whole season, we have to play the team."

The reporter asked: "You have won 51 consecutive games. Are you confident of winning the regular season?"

"This is not a question of confidence or not. Everyone knows that the Lakers are the strongest. What we need to do is to try our best to play as stable as possible without any surprises. Fortunately, we have many scoring points, people in poor condition have fewer shots, and people in good condition have more shots, and we can always maintain an excellent state."

Wall was helpless in the interview and admitted that there was a big gap between him and Guo Xu.
