Chapter 1205 [Speaking straight and continuing the winning streak]

The Warriors' lineup has changed, and their overall strength is slightly weaker than the Warriors who joined the parallel world Durant.

Middleton can play with the ball and attack weaker than Durant, and Redick is good at playing without the ball, which is also a weakened version of Klay Thompson.

The Warriors' inside lineup is stronger than the parallel world, with two defensive strongmen, Rudy Gobert and Draymond Green. David West joins the base salary, and veteran Nowitzki is added.

With these four people here, Kevin Looney, who has strong physical fitness, can only be a marginal player this season. However, the Warriors inside players cannot provide stable offensive firepower, which is incomparable to Durant.

Durant lived a very comfortable life after joining the Lakers, which was much better than joining the Warriors and Green. The selfless Horford and Durant are very familiar with each other, and have renewed their contracts with high salaries. The two have no conflict of interest in both the ball rights and the money.

The person Green is now hostile to is Gobert. The two quarreled many times in the locker room this season and were exposed by the media.

Green is often dissatisfied with Gobert's performance and is unwilling to partner with him. He said that when Brooke Lopez was the starting lineup, the Warriors won two consecutive championships. After Gobert increased his playing time, the team began to lose and wanted to label his teammates as a cancer.

Isn't this nonsense? After Gobert's playing time, the Warriors did not defend their title, which was clearly because of Guo Xu's comeback. Even if they don't sweep the Nets, they will win easily.

Golden State media said that Green was just outspoken. He always thought that Gobert, a Frenchman, was an "outsider". This guy got angry and dared to yell at the referee on the court. He was banned for not once or twice. He had no malice towards his teammates.

Espn's experts raised questions, why did Greene, who was outspoken, only target Gobert? It's true that Greene is an emotional person, and he doesn't take anyone seriously when his brain is hot. Have you ever seen him scold Curry or Middleton?

Yes, Green had some impulses, but he was not stupid. He knew very well which players on the Warriors were crucial to the team and which players were dispensable.

When you Gobert was a marginal person, we Warriors still won the championship? At this time, I angered you, just in time, you left in the summer, and the salary space left for me to get a big contract in the future.

No matter how you look at it, Green and Gobert are not at a loss when they quarrel. They have long been competing, both of them are good at defense and have no range. Although Green can help, he is too short, and the management prefers to keep taller people.

Green is a dirty player on the court and is not clean on the outside. He knows how to use his "righteous" character to get better benefits. He argues with Gobert for his contract renewal, which is related to tens of millions of dollars in income. And he is very clear that his own data will drop sharply after leaving the Warriors system, and he is unwilling to be traded.

Gobert rejected the team's early contract renewal. If you stay in the Warriors this summer, it will definitely be a big contract. The media expects it to be around 110 million US dollars in four years.

In short, the Warriors now have internal conflicts, players are uneven, and the two inside players who are in their age are not suitable for playing together. Nowitzki will have a much worse defense when he comes on the court, and his offense mainly relies on receiving and shooting. West is also strong in offense and weak in defense. When he plays for a while, he can only play as a power forward, and he is tall in the center and cannot defend the penalty area.

After the Warriors gave up Lopez, their strength was weaker than last season, but the Lakers were stronger than last season's overall strength, one rose and the other was getting bigger, and the gap between the two teams has widened.

Moreover, Curry was not confident enough when facing Guo Xu and was beaten out of the shadow. He has never beat Guo Xu in one-on-one since his debut. His teammates must help double-team, otherwise Guo Xu will have to go back 60+ to beat him.

Curry was abused by Guo Xu in the playoffs, and Guo Xu averaged 50+ per game in that series. This is too exciting for a player who has won MVP for the rest of the time, and Curry is no longer able to make progress on the defensive end. He is 29 years old this year.

There was no suspense in this game. Guo Xu and Durant took turns to attack the ball, Horford was responsible for supporting him, Adams covered him, and the Lakers led the Warriors by 20 points in three quarters.

In the final quarter, Guo Xu played another 5 minutes and led the team to lead 26 points to secure the victory. He finished 113-92 in the end, and the Lakers led the Warriors 3-0 in the regular season.

Because of training young players, Carter and Wade have reduced their playing time this month, and the coaching staff prefers to let Booker perform.

Robertson chose to leave the team correctly, and stayed behind is the marginal person. With PJ Tucker in the Lakers, Robertson is not needed when strengthening the wing defense. Tucker can not only defend but also shoot three-pointers, but is an excellent 3D player.

Guo Xu locked in the regular season MVP early again, and no one could compete with him. People found that the Lakers could really play 82 regular season wins this season, and there was no solution.

If the Lakers are just strong in lineup, they cannot do this. The key is that other teams have weakened to varying degrees, which creates a good opportunity for them to break historical records. The Lakers' overall strength is significantly stronger than the 72-win Warriors last season.

Therefore, more and more people are smuggling Durant, saying that he surrendered to the enemy, and the peak group led to the complete loss of competition in the NBA game. Durant didn't care at all, and every explanation was "I learned James."

This is really hurtful. What is worse than the fact that the league has no competition, is that after the peak group, they still cannot win the championship, and they can't compete with others. After the star game, the Nets led by James fell to fifth in the Eastern Conference and were surpassed by the Wizards.

Last season, James liked to criticize Howard, dragged the emperor down, and finally got Howard out of the contract and left. After Lopez was injured this year, the Nets didn't even have anyone to defend the penalty area, and they lost when they encountered a team with strong attack power at low posts.

In order to strengthen the inside, they even signed Larry Sanders, who retired from the arts, who did not make any money in arts and was willing to play basketball. Unfortunately, he has not had systematic training in the past two years and is a rough guy himself, so he can no longer play.

James is dissatisfied with the team's operation and is ready to force the palace in the summer. After the end of this season, he is completely free and will enter the free market to wait and see the online team's transactions. If he can't find teammates who can compete for the championship, he will make a decision.

The Lakers play as if they are weak teams. They are more serious when dealing with playoff teams. They play with lotto teams. Guo Xu makes various breakthroughs and passes the ball to assist teammates, and they often find covers in the midfield to find cover from a distance.

After defeating the Warriors, only the 76ers and the Clippers have posed a little threat to the Lakers this month.

The 76ers fought seriously with the Lakers to the end. The lineup was amazing and the offense was no worse than the Lakers.

They lost in the stars' personal abilities. Guo Xu and Durant were particularly stable when playing key balls in the last quarter, and they could not defend themselves without double-teaming. The 76ers lacked super scorers, and Gallinari and Kemba Walker's shooting stability were not as good as the scorer.

The highlights of the 76ers in this game were Jokic and Russell, who scored 16 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. Russell, who was a substitute, played for 26 minutes, made 7 of 14 shots, 5 of 9 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 21 points and 4 assists.

The Clippers lost 7 points to the Lakers. The Lakers' role player performed poorly and relied on the star's scoring. The Clippers failed to seize the opportunity, and the core Paul was beaten up by Guo Xu.

Guo Xu made 13 of 19 shots, 7 of 11 of 3-pointers, 11 of 12 free throws, 44 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals. Paul made 5 of 18 shots, 0 of 8 of 3-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 14 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists.

If Paul cannot break through, the organization will be affected, and his speed is getting slower and slower, almost unable to keep up with Guo Xu's pace.
