Even if Francis goes all out against Guo Xu, he is no longer an opponent. When the Lakers are playing against the Rockets, Guo Xu beats Francis a few times, making it very easy to break through.

Francis is a tall heavy defender with strong offense and weak defense. He plays wildly, and almost all depends on his body and his ball quotient is not high.

On the offensive end, he likes to force himself into the inside by using cover to score. If he doesn't make the opponent's defender, it is easy to hit the counterattack in a misplaced manner.

On the defensive end, his skills are not solid, mainly relying on physical fitness and defensive attitude. He is particularly active when assisting in defense and changing inside players. Sometimes he can block players who are 30cm taller than him, but often loses his defeat when facing a small defender breakthrough.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Francis' data against speed point guards was simply unpredictable. For example, he played against Iverson for 14 games, averaging only 17.4 points, 6.3 rebounds and 6 assists per game, while Iverson averaged 30.9 points, 3.6 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game.

After his peak period, Van Exel had the upper hand against Frances. The two had 17 games in their careers. The "crazy" team lost 10 wins and 7 losses, averaging 17.5 points, 2.9 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game; Frances averaged only 16.4 points, 6.2 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was less than 40%.

Francis' nine-year career leadership performance was extremely bad, but he attracted many fans by his style of play. He was definitely not a qualified "boss". He actually played in the playoffs once. In the second year after Yao Ming joined the Rockets, he was eliminated by the Lakers 1-4 in the first round, and his career playoffs were frozen in 5 games.

Among all the All-Star players in NBA history who have been selected as All-Stars, it is impossible for anyone to have a worse record than Francis, who is unprecedented and has no future. What's amazing is that he started three times in the West.

After Terry appeared, Guo Xu changed his defensive method and began to be close to him and did not let anyone shoot. If Terry had a ball and broke through the mid-range shot or layup, he could relax.

Terry is a point guard with average organizational skills and good at shooting. In 1999, he was selected by the Hawks with the 10th pick in the first round and was nicknamed "Jets". Last season, he was suppressed by Isaiah Ledel and had no ball rights. He only played this year and is expected to win the fastest-progress player award.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Terry was a famous drawer in the league. Once he found the touch on the outside, he would be difficult to interrupt. He played for Hawks, Mavericks and other teams, and his 18-year career three-point shooting number reached 2,249, ranking third in history.

On the offensive end, Guo Xu also made adjustments and began to play pick-and-roll frequently in the middle, passing the ball to Martin and Richardson. As for Miller and Jackson, he ignored it, because he was not familiar with it anyway.

Terry's defense breakthrough is stronger than Francis. He is 188cm tall, weighs 80 kilograms, is very fast, and has a relatively strong physical fitness. In Guo Xu's previous life, Terry, 36, was able to perform a flying dunk while making a fast break.

Guo Xu made three breakthroughs and layups in the next three times, mainly to attract the inside to switch defense and pass the ball. Martin's pick-and-roll was very threatening. After he was replaced, Miles came up with this style again.

The rookie challenge was divided into 20 minutes in the first and second half. Guo Xu played 15 minutes, made all 8 shots, made 2 of 2 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 20 points, 1 rebound, 8 assists and 2 steals.

The first-year team led 59 to 47.

Guo Xu didn't make many moves, and he only made a shot when he had a good chance. He thought about scoring points at the beginning, and after scoring 14 points, he changed his mind to ensure efficiency. He would be selfless in playing like this, and he might get higher evaluations. He wanted to show people his organizational ability, rather than playing like a point guard.

In the second half, Guo Xu was resting, and Crawford served as point guard as a substitute. The first grade turned into a mess, and whoever received the ball played, the ball was not smooth.

Crawford is a player who can break through and shoot, but he is not like a point guard at all. His first choice is always to take action by himself, and his shooting percentage is not high. Sophomore substitute point guard Andre Miller is a steady organization and can always place the ball in a reasonable position.

Szebiak performed the most eye-catching, with three-pointers from outside, showing off his offensive skills with balls at low posts, and he beat Mike Miller one-on-one to score.

On the offensive end, Quentin Richardson, Crawford and Miles took turns to make a move from mid-range to long distances, and they could only score if they entered the penalty area. In particular, Quentin made 0 of 5 shots, and was very determined to shoot, and dared to throw it to the face of others, making people speechless.

In fact, Quentin has a certain strength, 198cm tall, 100 kilograms, full of strength and not slow. But his ball-holding attack is a tragedy, and it is useless except for reducing efficiency. He is good at receiving and shooting, and has a good head-on head on the outside.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Quentin helped the team on both offense and defense in 2004-05. His three-point shooting percentage was as high as 39% in the playoffs, and the star won the three-point champion on the weekend. Unfortunately, in order to strengthen the inside, the Suns sent him to the Knicks in just one season. After leaving the Suns' running and shooting system, Quentin embarked on the evil path of holding the ball and attacking the iron, and never scored a level again.

After playing for 7 minutes, the second grade overtook 4 points, and coach Marlin replaced Guo Xu, Richardson and Peterson to the outside, while Martin and Jackson were on the inside.

The division of labor among these five people is very clear. The offense is frontal cover and side cover. Guo Xu's sudden division shot combined to drive his teammates and soon overtook the score 13-4 again.

The first-year performance on the defensive end is not bad. Jackson guards the penalty area, and Martin is fast and can switch to pick-and-roll and assist-defense blocks.

The exciting scene was that Guo Xu attracted the goal of defending the ball after two breakthroughs, and Martin and Richardson performed all-access dunks respectively. Brand was the second grader alone in protecting the penalty area, so it would be difficult for him to deal with it in one game.

Odom is 208cm tall and weighs only 100 kilograms. In this era, he is more like a small forward. He is known for his omnipotence and is known for his defense of five positions. In fact, he is very disadvantaged to defend the inside.

Except for Martin, his teammates have a range. Guo Xu reduced his mid- and long-distance shooting and relied on breakthroughs to tear open the opponent's defense line. The commentator sighed many times that he didn't know that he had such a great breakthrough before.

Peterson, Miller, Richardson and Martin all shoot at the same time, and don’t lead a step at all. With such teammates, Guo Xu can easily get assists. His pick-and-roll search and misplaced style is not like "Assassin" Thomas, but a bit like Nash.

This is a habit that Guo Xu developed in the Lakers unknowingly. The coaching staff needs him to play reasonably and assist with "OK combinations", rather than many singles with balls in every game. Unless the point guard he faces is poor, he can shoot endlessly.

Thomas likes to go alone without looking for cover, his career shooting percentage is only 45.2%, and his playoffs are even lower than 44.1%, which is the premise that he rarely shoots three-pointers.

Nash is the kind of player who pursues reasonable and efficient, and his choice of shooting is at the top of his history. Only at critical moments will he choose to force his move to take on the responsibility of the leader. Therefore, he has obtained the highest overall shooting percentage in history and entered the "180 Club" for many seasons.

Before the game, the media generally did not optimistic about the first-year team's victory. Many people online said that the overall quality of this rookie is very poor. Guo Xu used his actions to prove that these people were wrong. He helped his teammates play their strengths.

In the second half, he insisted on playing with his teammates who scored a breakthrough point. He made all three attempts, made layups after three breakthroughs, and then made a quick stop to shoot mid-range shot. In addition, he also broke through in the counterattack and made Marion fouls and made both free throws.

The final first game defeated the second-year team 115-107.

Guo Xu scored amazing data, making 12 of 12 shots, 2 of 2 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 30 points, 1 rebound, 17 assists and 4 steals.
