Guo Xu did what he said, and he reduced his shots in the next game and increased his passes.

In the Lakers' game against the Clippers, power forward Monterrez Harrell broke out and scored 22 points and 11 rebounds in 26 minutes. He received a pass from Guo Xu many times and directly hit the basket, completing all-time dunks four times.

This is Harrell's third season in his career. His real shooting percentage has been above 60% since entering the league. His shots are all two points from close range and dunks at the basket. As long as he has a good point guard partner, he will perform very bravely.

However, it is difficult for players like Harrell to get high salaries, and their role is relatively single, so they rely on teammates to feed the cake.

Guo Xu easily scored a large double-double with 21 points and 20 assists against Beverly. The Mad Dog-style defense was useless to him, and he could protect the basketball and find teammates. If Beverly actively steals, he would be overwhelmed.

Although the Nets were eliminated in the first round of the Eastern Conference last season, Beverly's defense was recognized again. This can further show Guo Xu's strength. Beverly has no choice every time he meets Guo Xu and needs teammates to help double-team them.

After this game, even if it is not considered the preseason, the Lakers have achieved 100 consecutive victories in the past two seasons. If the preseason is added, they have won 114 consecutive victories.

The regular season started this year relatively early. On October 20, the Lakers played their third game, back-to-back away against the Suns.

This time it was Durant's turn to show his strength, easily defeating Cameron Anthony, who had just joined the Suns.

Durant made 15 of 23 shots, 5 of 9 three-pointers and 5 of 6 free throws, scoring 40 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. Anthony made more shots, made 12 of 26 shots, 2 of 8 three-pointers, no free throws, and scored 26 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

The Suns management has high hopes for Anthony. The coaching staff gave him unlimited shots, but his ball-holding offense is very low. The main way to score is to pull out jump shots, which cannot drive the entire team at all.

The Suns lost two consecutive games at the beginning and were about to be killed by Anthony. He was no longer the offensive kaleidoscope he used to be back then.

Fans have been complaining about him over the past two years, believing that he is a cancer, and playing style has disrupted the team's offensive rhythm and has made no contribution to the defensive end. Many Knicks fans suggested that the team trade Anthony to Porzingis, and the manager did it.

However, the Knicks did not get any benefits. Whiteside's joining did not help the team's overall strength and lost two consecutive games at the beginning. Their tactics of playing in the inside double towers was a mistake, and there were still a lack of defenders who were good at breaking through the outside.

After a day off, the Lakers defeated the Pelicans 125-109 at home.

Guo Xu felt hot, played for 36 minutes, scored 55 points, 3 rebounds, 11 assists and 5 steals.

The Pelicans signed Rajon Rondo as point guard with a low salary. Coach Alvin Gentry boldly made Rondo defend alone, but he was exposed to be ugly. Guo Xu scored 23 points in a single quarter.

Rondo only made one shot in the first quarter and did not score a single point. When Guo Xu defended seriously, Rondo could only pass the ball through half.

After the Pelicans used Kyrie Irving to trade Demar DeRozan, many people were optimistic that they would become one of the semi-finals in the Western Conference and were expected to end the Lakers' winning streak. As a result, their performance in the preseason was very ordinary, with only 4 wins and 3 losses.

Rondo and DeRozan have almost no three-point ability. The offensive hot zone of the inside double towers is close to the basket, and Zach Laven is injured.

Lavine was seriously injured in the preseason game against the Thunder, and the ACL in his left knee joint torn and had to rest for a long time. The Pelicans rely on Itovan Moore and Cousins ​​to shoot three-pointers, and the team did not have a stable three-point shooting point.

On the 25th, the Lakers defeated the Wizards 122-99 at home and achieved four consecutive victories.

The Wizards started with three consecutive victories, including defeating the Nets, so they were very optimistic, but they had no power to fight back against the Lakers.

Center Nurkic's pick-and-roll speed was too slow. After the center was drawn away, Horford and Harrell rushed to the basket, and Otto Porter, who played the power forward, also struggled to defend.

When Porter first entered the league, he was 203cm tall, weighed only 90 kilograms, and had a dry chicken figure. After several seasons of training and weight gain, he gained weight to 95 kilograms, which is not worthy of the power forward.

Wizards coach Scott Brooks insisted that a lineup with a big team with four small teams is easier to win, but this is not the case.

On the 27th, the Lakers easily defeated the Raptors 120-101 at home.

The core Lillard took the lead in the shooting, and the Raptors made 7 of 29 three-pointers.

After losing Guy, the Raptors began to reuse the 23-year-old young forward Pascal Siakam. His physical fitness is great, but his skills are relatively rough, and he is not accurate in mid-range shots and cannot replace Guy's job.

Andre Robertson is also a blue-collar defensive outside defense. The Raptors' shooting margin at 2 and 3 is a fatal weakness, without a bottom corner three-pointer.

When Norman Powell came on the court, Lakers players just needed to guard him. He mainly relied on receiving and shooting. In this game, Powell made 1 of 8 shots, 0 of 3 three-pointers, and scored 2 points and 2 assists.

After that, the Lakers won easily and happily against the weak Jazz and Pistons, and they started with 7 consecutive victories, leading the league.

Ben Simmons' performance was disappointing. His shooting was no improvement compared to last season, and his performance was entirely based on breakthroughs.

Many people say that Simmons is "Little James". At present, he is still a certain distance from James, but his style of playing is a bit like James. His explosiveness and speed are far behind that of the peak James.

Moreover, James did not know how to shoot in the early days, but his shooting percentage was unstable. After that, James gradually improved his mid- and long-range shooting ability. What about Simmons? He did not dare to shoot at all and did not shoot at open positions.

Last season, Simmons made 0 of 6 three-pointers; he averaged 0.1 of 0.3 shots per game in two-pointers; he averaged 0.9 shots per game in the middle distance. He averaged 0.2 of 0.9 shots per game.

He is really a god-like figure. He doesn't practice such a bad shooting in summer. He once said he would not want to join the Jazz, otherwise he would become a plagiarist top pick. He really did what he said.

On November 2, Guo Xu was lazy in the whole game, and only scored 15 points and 10 assists in 30 minutes. The Lakers still beat the weak Trail Blazers 127-86 away.

The Trail Blazers are not strong in all positions. The Lakers handed the ball to Durant as an opportunity. Evans, who was a substitute, also provided some offensive firepower. The Trail Blazers' substitute is a group of unclassified players. They are either veterans in the decline period or have no potential. If they are in the Lakers, they can only be marginalists.

No. 1 pick Fultz has not appeared, he has already started to get sick, and the Trail Blazers veterinarians are helpless about his symptoms. Fultz is more difficult than Oden. They just need to push Oden onto the operating table and torture him, while Fultz does not need surgery, which looks more like a psychological problem.

There is a reason why Guo Xu is lazy. They have to face the Nets back to back at home, which is a tough battle.

The Lakers won't have long played in the last game and saved their energy. They went all out against the Nets and won 124-112.

Guo Xu easily beat Paul alone, and it was also easy for him to play pick-and-roll misplaced with his teammates.

Guo Xu's flexibility is the best in the league. Even James was at his peak and he was still far from him. Now, 33-year-old James is not as fast as he moves.

Two stars double-team Guo Xu together, and Horford will be vacant. Horford exploded in this game, with 13 of 20 shots, 6 of 9 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and 34 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists.

The Lakers achieved 9 consecutive victories, while the Nets performed averagely with 7 wins and 3 losses.

After Paul joined the Nets, he didn't have much tactics, mainly relying on star singles. James and Paul had poor chemistry, and both needed to attack with the ball, and Paul's data dropped to 17.5 points and 7.7 assists per game.
