Chapter 186 [Rookie 9 times 30+, the influence begins to ferment]

In early March, the Lakers beat the Warriors two times, easily defeating the Grizzlies and Raptors, and the winning numbers reached a terrifying 27 games.

In the game on March 4, the core of the Warriors, Antoine Jamison, who had scored 50+ against the Lakers, felt cold in the face of double-teaming. He played in 28 minutes and made 0 9 shots and failed to score a single point, with only 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

O'Neal and Kobe scored 24 points and 20 points respectively, with average performance, and Guo Xu scored 35 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.

Guo Xu didn't make many moves from the outside in this game, and he broke through the Warriors' 196cm tall and 91kg point guard Bob Sula. His breakthrough was too sharp, and Warriors players could only use fouls to stop it. Guo Xu won 14 free throws that set a career high and hit 12.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Sula was a point guard who made Chinese fans hate. What he made fans remember was not the skills, but the point guard that he often did not pass the ball to Yao Ming, and liked to fight alone, and was pitiful and inefficient.

What's even more disgusting is Sura's defense. The lateral movement speed is too slow. Any point guard who can break through the ball can play with him. Jeff Van Gundy, who is known for his attention to defense, likes him very much. It's a miracle.

In the first round of the 2005 playoffs, the Rockets were as imposing as ever since the beginning, winning two away games in a row, and the situation was very good, but they were eliminated in the end. Nowitzki averaged 21+8 per game, with a shooting percentage of only 35% and 28% of three-pointers; McGrady on the Rockets side made 31+7+7, hit 46% and 37% of three-pointers; Yao Ming blocked 21+8+2.7, with a shooting percentage of 65%.

How did the Rockets lose? Just check the data of Chasula and Terry. In two games, Terry looks like Curry in his defense, and there is no sense of incongruity when he renames "Tehao".

Ron Harper was injured again against the Raptors, this time he was a thigh strain. He was too big when he grabbed the ball, so his old arms and legs could not bear it anymore.

After the game, Harper was very calm in an interview: "It's the age of young people, and I will definitely retire after the end of this season."

This is just a small episode in the game. Even if the Raptors rank fourth in the Eastern Conference, it would be easy for the Lakers to abuse them. Carter was evenly matched against Kobe, and the center and point guard positions were completely defeated, especially Guo Xu, who was the Raptors' substitutes in the second quarter.

Coach Wilkens didn't dare to use veteran Dell Curry, so he let him play for 10 minutes in the whole game. He was played by Guo Xu as soon as he got on the way, and the outside could not provide three-point firepower, and he could not get rid of Guo Xu's entanglement no matter how he ran. The two had a much different speed, and Guo Xu could catch up with the interference after covering.

On March 9, the Lakers faced 42 wins and 19 losses at home, ranking second in the West. Many people hoped that the Spurs would end the Lakers' winning streak.

Especially the old players of the Bulls are a little unsatisfied. No one wants their record to be broken. At least they have to stay on the rankings for a few more years, right? It has only been five years since 1996. It is so depressing that stronger teams appear in such a short time.

Unfortunately, the Spurs are unable to stop the Lakers, and the gap between Guo Xu and Avery Johnson alone is difficult to make up.

Guo Xu played for 32 minutes, scoring 32 points and 6 assists. The young general played for 30 minutes, with only a pitiful 6 points and 4 assists. Facing Guo Xu's mid- and long-distance shooting, he had no way to limit his single defense.

Other Spurs players assisted in defense of Guo Xu. He only needed to pass the ball, and the ok combination would take over the game. The game was one-sided, and the Spurs only took the lead once at the opening.

O'Neal just played casually in this game, scoring 16 points and 10 rebounds, and the Lakers still won. Kobe scored 30 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists, and the three of them combined for 78 points.

The Spurs could hold on until the fourth quarter before losing. Thanks to Brian Shaw, Fox and Horry, the three blacksmiths, who missed all the open-air shots and handed over 0 of 3 shots, 0 of 7 shots and 0 of 4 shots respectively.

The Lakers achieved 28 consecutive victories. When evaluating Lakers players, ABC Radio proposed the concept of "big three" for the first time, rather than using "trident" to describe them.

Audrey Jones, a female reporter who interviewed Guo Xu at NCAA, has become the representative of the NBA beauty host, responsible for interviewing the Lakers specifically, providing a large amount of interview materials, and has become increasingly high in the radio station.

In discussing Guo Xu's NBA special program, Audrey praised her. "Although Jason Guo said that she went to the Lakers to hug her thighs, if the opponent really believes this, she will definitely pay a heavy price. How can anyone who hugs her thighs play 9 times in a rookie season? "

The male host Hem Feige asked: "What kind of person do you think you are when you interview Jason Guo many times?"

"A confident and self-disciplined person," Audrey replied.

Hem asked with a smile: "Do you think he can be compared with Iverson?"

Audrey nodded and said, "I think it's totally OK. Although he averages not as high as Iverson's, he proves himself in another way. He plays very team, so his shooting percentage is very high. He is not as high as a point guard, and he can compare with many inside players. He should be selected as an All-Star this year. I think he is more qualified than some veterans."

In the All-Star Game, because there were too many inside players in the Western Conference, many people just made a move. Carl Malone played for only 4 minutes, David Robinson played for 6 minutes, and McDace was 9 minutes.

Hem asked: "So, do you think the Lakers have three All-Star players now, right?"

"Yes, this is a team with a Big Three. And unlike when the Lakers were selected as All-Stars in the 1997-98 season, Van Exel's strength is obviously better than Jason Guo Xun, and Kobe is much stronger than himself in the second grade."

The selection of players in the Star Game in 1998 was a bit nonsensical. Perhaps President David Stern knew that Jordan would retire after the end of the season, and was eager to win a popular balloon team to take over the Bulls. At the same time, he launched the young Kobe to promote it as "Jordan's successor". This is a star-making sport.

Kobe, who played as a substitute in the Lakers, was selected as an All-Star. It would be a bit unreasonable if the two Lakers were a brother on the outside, and then Van Exel became a substitute. His data at that time was completely incomparable to the Timberwolves point guard Marbury, and his popularity was only ranked eighth in the Western Conference defender in the star vote.

Audrey implicitly pointed out whether a player can be selected as an All-Star. On the one hand, the popularity depends on whether the league can support it.

Hem asked: "What height do you think Jason can reach in the future? He said he would meet Iverson in the finals. At that time, everyone thought he was too arrogant. Now it seems that this is really possible. The two teams ranked first in the east and west."

Audrey is young and energetic and dares to create topics. She smiled and said, "The two have their own characteristics. I think Jason will be able to surpass Iverson in the future. He is the player who scored the most three-pointers this season, which is an ability that Iverson does not have. And one thing I am sure is that he has a high chance of getting the championship ring before Iverson."

The ratings of this program are not low, and many fans immediately went online to discuss it after watching it.

Of course, most of the people support Iverson, but a few people support Guo Xu.

Some fans will look at the players' scoring efficiency and hit rate. They don't believe that Iverson can easily beat Guo Xu. At present, there is only one game of blowout. Iverson's hit rate is so low in the first game that Iverson can't watch.

The influence of Guo Xu's letter of war began to ferment, and he became a world-renowned figure.
