On May 6, Audrey Jones, a female reporter from ABC Radio, conducted an exclusive interview with Guo Xu.

Before the NCAA final, Audrey broke a big news by interviewing Guo Xu and tasted the sweetness. When she saw Guo Xu refusing to try out on the Internet, she immediately rushed to East Lansing.

Guo Xu did not disappoint Audrey and made amazing remarks again.

"I just want to join the Lakers, so I won't try out for other teams."

"I am optimistic that the Pacers and the Lakers will reach the finals. The Lakers have the strongest center O'Neal in the league, and the inside advantage is obvious, so they will definitely win the championship this year. The Pacers will win at most two games. I hope to help the Lakers defend their title and establish a dynasty in the future. I am optimistic that the Lakers will have another three-game winning team after becoming the Bulls."

This is a spoiler, but it seems difficult to achieve it in others' eyes, because the Lakers have performed poorly in the playoffs for three consecutive years since O'Neal joined in 1996. In 1997, the Lakers were eliminated by the Jazz 1-4, swept by the Jazz 0-4 in 1998, and swept by the Spurs 0-4 in 1999.

This year, the Lakers changed their coach and got the best record in the regular season, but there are still not many people optimistic about their championship. This is an inertia. Just like Guo Xu's previous life, people saw Paul's team inertia that they could not enter the Western Conference Finals. In fact, it is not accurate. Paul entered the Western Conference Finals with the Rockets in the 2018 playoffs.

Guo Xu's words have attracted widespread attention and have been discussed by countless fans online.

Some people think he is arrogant and unrestrained; some people think he is confident and will become a great person; and many people deliberately check Guo Xu's information and want to know what he does.

In any case, more and more people know him, and his exposure rate is not inferior to that of this year's No. 1 pick Kenyon Martin.

Soon, another team showed interest in Guo Xu. It was the Lakers that Guo Xu wanted to join the most. They defeated the Kings 3-2 in the first round.

The Lakers' "OK combination" has a very obvious advantage; the small forward is a famous pitcher traded by the Hornets, Glenn Rice, who has won the All-Star MVP; power forward veteran AC Green is excellent in defense and is the player with the most consecutive appearances in NBA history, which won him the nickname "Iron Man".

The Lakers' substitutes Rick Fox, Robert Horry, Brian Shaw and others are also experienced. The Kings can beat the Lakers two games, but they almost got upset because the Lakers' No. 1 position has weaknesses.

The Lakers' starting point guard is veteran Ron Hubble, who participated in the Bulls' last three consecutive championships. He is 198cm tall, weighs 84 kilograms, and is 36 years old.

Hubble's advantages are his rich experience, relatively stable play, and familiarity with Jackson's triangular offensive routines.

He can control the ball through the half, and after passing the ball, he waited for his teammates to attract double-team passes; he worked diligently on the defensive end, because he was a point guard, so he was not afraid of misplaced. The Lakers' defense and point guard tasks are often handed over to Kobe. Hubble's defense and point guards are good, and the defense and point guards are a little unable to keep up with the rhythm.

Hubble's offense was unsatisfactory, averaging 25.5 minutes per game in the regular season, scoring only 7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.1 steals, shooting percentage of 39.9% and three-point shooting percentage of 31.3%.

O'Neal attracted double-teams at low posts. Hubble often dared not shoot three-pointers at open positions, chooses to break through with the ball, or shake it at the bottom corner, and then lob the ball to O'Neal at low posts. This seems very stable, but in fact, he has wasted countless three-point opportunities and allows his opponent to double-team O'Neal more calmly.

The Lakers' substitute point guard Derek Fisher and Kobe have a good personal relationship. They are both rookies in the 96 level. His movement speed is only ordinary, and he is good at physical confrontation.

He is 185cm tall and weighs 95 kilograms. He is absolutely a "steel cannon" figure. He often passes the ball to his celebrity teammates after half of the game, and gets away with the opportunity. His breakthrough is not sharp, his three-pointer is not accurate, and his defense is also unsatisfactory.

He averaged 23.1 minutes per game this season, only scored 6.3 points, 1.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1 steal, shooting percentage of 34.6%, three-point shooting percentage of 31.3%, and free throw shooting percentage of 72.4%.

In Guo Xu's previous life, many fans called "Old Fish" Fisher a big heart, which is a perfect championship puzzle, three-point accuracy, etc. In fact, Fisher, who just entered the league a few years ago, was synonymous with "blacksmith". Even at his peak, he was a guy who held his thighs and was the weakest link on the Lakers' defensive end.

Some people always say that the role of the players they like on the court cannot be reflected by data, but Fisher averaged 8.3 points, 2.1 rebounds, 3 assists and 1.1 steals per game, shooting percentage of 39.9%, and 37.4% of three-point shooting percentage. He can only make one three-pointer per game. This data is too bad.

The league can no longer find a starting point guard who is worse than Fisher's data, especially the assist. How can you tell that this guy is a point guard? Others have not become the championship puzzle, probably because they are not dribbling for the Lakers...

The Lakers also have third guard Tyrone Lou. If it weren't for the Lakers' hardcore fans, he probably wouldn't know him because he played a total of 26 games for the team, with a brittle body and injury for two consecutive years.

This year, Tyrone Lu was injured very strangely. He completed a fast break layup without anyone defending. He didn't jump high and didn't have a fast speed. He even made a small layup that Haruko Akagi could easily make. Then, he fell down like Haruko was when he demonstrated for Hanaki Sakuragi.

Haruko's knee was lying on the ground and blew it. Of course, no one blew it to him and sent it to the hospital for examination. The result was that the meniscus on the left knee was torn and was reimbursed for the season.

When everyone in the Lakers coaching staff received this news, their first impression was "Are you kidding me?"

From then on, O'Neal did not allow Tyrone Lu to talk to him. He felt that this waste of money was a waste of the Lakers' valuable place.

Tyron Lu is the 23rd rookie in the first round in 1998. He was selected by the Nuggets and traded to the Lakers. He has a three-year contract, and now the management can no longer stand it. The coaching staff doesn't like him either. As long as there is a better choice, they are willing to trade in the summer. The expiration contract has a certain trading value. Tyron Lu also wants to go to a team that can play, and he is like a curse in Los Angeles.

After the Lakers scouts watched the NCAA Finals, Guo Xu expressed his willingness to "not join the Lakers" through the media, the scouts handed over Guo Xu's detailed information to the management. After a brief discussion, the Lakers officially issued a trial invitation to Guo Xu, which was after the playoffs.

Hapi called to report the good news, and Guo Xule went to the Michigan Dance Group to dance Latin dance with people for a long time.

He is also under pressure. If the Lakers have not expressed any of this, he has to ask Happi to come and recommend himself. Now he just needs to prepare for training in Michigan and go to Los Angeles to show off himself on time.

He has absolute confidence to beat Tyronelu, Fisher and Hubble in the competition. Those three have obvious weaknesses. As a fan, he doesn't think those three are of great significance.

He remembers more clearly that the Lakers suffered injuries in the 2000-2001 regular season in the previous life. For a while, no one was available for the No. 1 position. Veteran Brian Shaw played the starting point guard, and Fisher only played 20 games in the regular season due to a stress fracture.

The weakness of the No. 1 position leads to the Lakers' regular season record not being very good. Otherwise, with O'Neal's monster data and terrifying efficiency, Iverson may not be able to get an MVP.

This is why Guo Xu only wants to join the Lakers. If it goes well, he will be reused in the rookie season and get a lot of playing time. He must seize this opportunity.
