Chapter 1248 [created a miracle, the whole world was shocked]
In the second day of the Star Weekend slam dunk contest, Guo Xu surprised all the audience again.
Guo Xu was 37 years old in November this year, but his physical fitness seemed to improve, completing four magical dunks.
His first dunk was shocking. He turned around 360 degrees and changed his hand and dunked under his crotch. His head was almost flat, and of course he got a full score.
His second dunk was Feiyue Auto. A Kia sedan from the league sponsor drove into the field. He jumped from the roof with the ball and scored a full score.
When Griffin won the slam dunk contest, he just flew the front of the car. Guo Xu's movements were much more difficult than him. The judges had no reason not to give full marks, and the gimmicks were also very sufficient.
The commentator was a little worried about Guo Xu when he evaluated. "The difficulty of his two dunks in the preliminary round is already so high. How can he deduct them in the final? It won't be too difficult to complete, right?"
After entering the finals, Guo Xu gave the answer, and he increased the difficulty and completed it smoothly.
His third dunk was an action that NBA had never seen before. Booker stood sideways under the basket while stepping on the ladder, holding the ball in front of the basket with one hand. Guo Xu rushed over and jumped with all his strength, leaned forward, and slid backwards with both hands, and pushed the ball into the basket with his backhand.
To be precise, this is just a dial, not a deduction, but the audience all bought it. Guo Xu's aerial height was amazing, and the audience cheered, and it was full marks.
The fourth dunk he assisted at the basket on the right side, turned around and dunk twice in 720 degrees, and his movements were very beautiful. Because he was only 183cm tall, it was more difficult to complete this dunk than the 188cm "mr720".
Guo Xu has been practicing the Iron Bridge and the Immortal Life Method for many years, and his waist and abdomen strength and control of his body have reached the extreme. He can't do Wang Jun's clockwise 720 degrees. He can do it once with a normal 720 degrees four times. Today, he is lucky twice.
As for the performance of competitors? Is that important? They are just here to compete for second place, and the difficulty of dunk cannot be compared with Guo Xu. The second place is also a point guard, Donovan Mitchell of the Nuggets.
After the game, the media said, "Guo Xu created a miracle again." Usually, players' condition begins to slowly decline after the age of 30, but Guo Xu's physical fitness is still in an upward state after the age of 30.
With his state, people will not feel surprised to rule NBA for another ten years. If he does not retire, all the records in NBA will belong to him in the future.
In the All-Star Game, Guo Xu easily defeated James 167 to 144.
The media hype before the start of the game was that both sides really played, and the score was indeed much lower than during the exhibition match. But it was still much higher than that in 2000.
Guo Xu's offensive ability is that his opponent cannot defend himself without double-teaming. He made 13 of 17 shots, 7 of 10 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, scored a double-double of 35 points, 4 rebounds and 15 assists, winning the Star MVP for the eighth time in his career.
When Jokic, Bill, Thompson, Antetokounmpo and Guo Xu were on the court, their offense was unstoppable. The four were good at shooting from mid to long distances, Antetokounmpo screened and received the ball, and the shooting percentage in the penalty area was very high.
If you only look at your physical fitness, Antetokounmpo is like an enhanced version of Durant. He is 211cm tall, has a wingspan of 224cm, has a wide shoulders and can withstand the center, his speed is like a swaying person, and his jumping power is at the level of a slam dunk contest.
Antetokounmpo rushed up and attacked in the penalty area, and the opponent could hardly block the block. When playing in the Nuggets, the opponent could shrink the joint defense to prevent him from entering the penalty area quickly. He could not shrink in the star game, and he would have an opportunity if he shrinks the outside.
Antetokounmpo is the second best performer in Guo Xu. He made 14 of 16 shots in the game, made 4 of 6 free throws, scored 32 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists. His shooting was guaranteed in the penalty area, and he was not accurate in all positions outside the penalty area, which was a big weakness.
Unless you practice shooting well, at least you must have a stable mid-range shot, Antetokounmpo will never be a star and cannot become a superstar.
At the press conference, Antetokounmpo lamented that it was easy to score when playing around Guo Xu, but unfortunately he never had the chance to be his younger brother in his life.
After the Star Weekend, the Lakers continued to win all the games. Durant, Horford and others began to relax after winning many games, which did not affect the winning. Guo Xu and Tyrek Evans always maintained a good condition.
In the summer, no one would have thought that Evans could become the Lakers' fourth scoring point, averaging 15.2 points and 3.2 assists per game.
If Evans wants to get a big contract next summer, he must play beautiful numbers and will do his best as soon as he appears.
This is the last season of Guo Xu's NBA career, so he is not lazy anymore. He wants to abuse his opponents, leave with a terrifying record, and move towards a higher goal in the best condition.
Guo Xu always takes the initiative when he is on the court. Guo Xu can rest and the Lakers can withstand the substitute, which makes them invincible!
On April 11, the Lakers beat the Clippers 16 points away and won the regular season for two consecutive seasons. The media around the world were shocked. Can such a thing be copied?
Everyone knows that Guo Xu will complete the MVP for three consecutive regular seasons for the second time in his career. If he scored such a result, if the MVP was awarded to others, that person may not dare to receive the award and will be criticized by fans for the rest of his life.
What makes other big-name stars depressed is that with the urinary nature of President Xiao Hua, they will definitely nominate them and force them to attend the stupid regular season award ceremony two and a half months later.
If others can't say it, Harden can't escape.
The Warriors ranked second in the West, with only 58 wins and poor record. Their defense at No. 4 position has become significantly weaker. Two veterans, Nowitzki and David West, had defensive loopholes as soon as they came on the court, and Mirotic is also a player with strong offense and weak defense.
The 3-8 are the Kings, Pelicans, Spurs, Timberwolves, Nuggets, and Suns.
The strength of the Western Conference team has declined. The Timberwolves can score sixth place not because they are strong, but because their opponents are weaker, and they only have 44 wins. The Suns are centered on Cameron Anthony and Klay Thompson. They only have 39 wins and took the last train of the playoffs.
The pattern of strong West and weak East is quietly changing. Because of Guo Xu, many stars are reluctant to play in the West.
The Eastern Conference champion was the Nets, who achieved 63 wins and performed well, but the Lakers ended in failure in both games.
2-8 are 76ers, Bucks, Raptors, Pacers, Eagles, Bobcats, Wizards.
After sending Love away, the Wizards could not open up the space at the 4th position. Nurkic's shooting range was mainly near the penalty area. If the coach let Otto Porter play the 4th position, he would suffer a serious loss in the confrontation and his defense would be even worse.
Nurkic scored 16.7 points and 11.4 rebounds, but the team was not easy to win. As long as the coach asked him to play for a long time, the Wizards' defense would have serious problems, and the opponent's guards would easily break through and get outside the phone.
Star point guard Wall has only played 41 games due to injury. The good news is that he has returned and can play in the playoffs.
After the Hawks introduced Love, they let Love play center, doing a great job in controlling rebounds and withdrawing the inside, scoring beautiful data with 21 points, 12.1 rebounds and 3.4 assists.
Love, who has no championship ring, plays hard, and has not been completely unhealthy for the Wizards. He maintains good health, but his defense is poor.
The Hawks win by offense, with sharp breakthroughs in the defender and able to play in combination with the inside and outside. Schroeder performed well in the Hawks and formed a double-gun in the backcourt with Jamal Murray. The Hawks management will not send him to the Thunder easily.
