Guo Xu always couldn't be energetic when he looked at the NBA games of this era from the perspective of a rebirth. The scene was so ugly. The Lakers averaged only 100.8 points per game last season, with an overall shooting percentage of 45.9%. They are not a team with strong attack power.

Jackson's tactics in coaching the Lakers are extremely dull. He likes to reduce the number of rounds, ensure offensive efficiency, and then stabilize defense and reduce the opponent's shooting rate to win. Last season, the opponent averaged only 92.3 points per game, with an overall shooting rate of 41.6%.

Guo Xu sat on the sidelines and watched as he was anxious for several players on the court.

Stadameer is a player of Iverson's style, but he cannot advance quickly or break through with the ball. He has to pass the ball to the frontcourt to the teammates, be an audience outside the three-point line, and then go to the defensive end and be forced to defend someone who is one head taller than him.

When Harper attacked, he was obviously taller than Stadameer, but he did not hold the ball and attacked strongly. He could neither score three points against others nor make a back-to-back with his physical advantage, passing the ball again and again.

When thinking of many media, basketball "experts" often say that Harper is the perfect champion puzzle, Guo Xu has the urge to spit out their faces. Do these people know the meaning of the word "perfect"?

The OK combination is indeed very powerful, but the flaws of teammates are obvious. The Lakers' lineup depth is far from comparable to those of the CBA teammates who won the championship in the previous life of the Heat and the Cavaliers.

Lakers stars took turns to play singles, O'Neal's advantage was obvious, while Kobe was a little struggling. He only made one shot under Pippen's defense, and broke through and fouled it and scored 2+1.

After Kobe scored, Pippen immediately wanted to return one, and forced a layup with the ball. As a result, he failed to make a shot after Kobe interfered with it, and he fell to the ground and couldn't afford to get up.

The team doctor came up to do an examination for Pippen and confirmed that he had sprained his left ankle. After only 7 minutes of the game, the Trail Blazers were supported by his substitute teammates and returned to the locker room. This year, the 35-year-old Pippen's physical fitness has declined significantly and he has no ability to compete.

After two more rounds, Smith broke through and caused Kobe to make a second foul, forcing him to get off the court to rest.

Jackson said to Guo Xu: "Jason, you go on stage."

Guo Xu smiled. He had 4 and a half minutes left in the first quarter, and he got the opportunity earlier than expected. Although he didn't have time to warm up on the sidelines and was ordered to be in danger, he was very good at adjusting his state in the time loop, which was not a problem.

Don’t be afraid, just do it! Guo Xu encourages himself in his heart.

Kobe was out of the game, and it was rare to see a player shorter than himself. Guo Xu was going to play with the ball, instead of passing the ball to the side, Harper and Fox, and letting them give O'Neal a low ball. At this time, the Trail Blazers will definitely guard against O'Neal, and if they pass it to him, they will be targeted by the opponent.

Smith made both free throws, with a score of 14 to 15, and the Lakers were one point behind.

The bottom line ball was sent, Guo Xu took the ball, and Stadameier pressed near the midfield.

When Guo Xu saw this posture, he knew that the other party didn't take him seriously and wanted to bully the rookie. He calculated the distance and hit Stadameer one meter outside the three-point line, almost staggering him, then quickly turned to the right and accelerated to the success of the person.

Stadameier suffered a great loss. He thought that Guo Xu was young and had similar figures, so his strength should not be as strong as him. In fact, the other party was a man with a bench press of 84 kilograms and ten times, but he couldn't tell from his image.

Guo Xu took a step to 70 degrees on the right, made a three-pointer with a quick stop and jumped. Stardameier was slowing down by chasing the defense and blocking the block. When he jumped, the ball had already flew to the basket.

Guo Xu shot very firmly, and the ball drew a perfect arc and entered the net hollow. 17 to 15.

Commentator Hovas shouted: "Lakes' last rookie Jason Guo made a three-pointer when he came on the court, helping the Lakers overtake the score."

Woodson said: "This player has left a deep impression on the NCAA Final Four and Summer League, but he did not get much playing time in the preseason. After Fisher was injured, the Lakers could only reuse him. See how his defense is like this round."

Stadameer dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Pippen was injured, and he also obtained the ball rights and wanted to return one.

According to information, Stadameier is good at breaking through. He is very threatening whether it is breaking through layups or breaking through the ball. His shooting is a little worse. He basically doesn't take any moves in front of someone outside the three-point line. Therefore, Guo Xu and him kept a one-and-a-half distance away, mainly reducing the center of gravity to prevent breakthroughs.

In fact, during the Raptors' period, when he encountered his opponent's defense like this, Stardameier dared to throw it when he pulled out of the middle. In the 96-97 season, he averaged 6.1 three-pointers, 2.2 shots, and a shooting percentage of 35.5%. He shot higher in the rookie season, reaching 39.5%, and averaged 1.9 three-pointers per game.

Unfortunately, after joining the Trail Blazers, Stardameier was completely led by coach Mike Dunleavy. He was asked to drive the ball to break through to the inside line with a long man again and again, and try to end the attack with layups, saying that "the closer to the basket, the higher the shooting rate."

Dunleavy doesn't like players shooting three-pointers. Last season, the Trail Blazers averaged 13.8 three-pointers per game in the regular season, which is a very good thing. When he coached the Lakers in 91-92, the team averaged 5.4 three-pointers per game.

Stadameier could only endure the desire to shoot and break through with the ball. His speed was strange, and he could pass many defenders by relying on the first step of changing direction. However, Guo Xu was also of this kind of small fast spirit type, with quick reactions and blocked the breakthrough route in one step.

Stadameer leaned on the ball with his back and changed direction to the middle. Guo Xu's steps were not chaotic and close to him. Stadameer was unwilling to retreat in the face of the rookie, so he chose a difficult turn and step-and-retreat jump shot. He created space for shooting, but the touch was not good. The ball bounced out and O'Neal grabbed the backcourt rebound.

O'Neal did not pass it to orthodox point guard Guo Xu, but to Harper, and then made a slowdown gesture at him.

O'Neal could see at a glance that Guo Xu wanted to take a fast attack, and he, the fat man, could not run with him. The pace slowed down, and Harper dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to Fox on the right.

Fox pretended to lob the ball into the inside and suddenly passed it to Harper, who was running to the right corner. Grant in the middle provided a no-ball cover for Harper and blocked Smith.

The veterans cooperated very well, Harper made a three-pointer with a jump shot from an open spot. 20-15.

Guo Xu was forced to pull away to the left to attract the defense and played soy sauce.

Why is it called forced? Because he is more accurate on the right side. Although he practices hard on the left side, he is still slightly inferior. This is a common problem for right-handed players. He uses exploratory steps on the left side and changes directions, etc. to move faster.

Guo Xu must give up the right bottom corner, because Harper may also make a three-pointer from the right bottom corner, and it is a fun place to watch the show when he was young. When he was young, he could break through and make layups and dunks, but now he can't do it.

Fortunately, Guo Xu joined the Lakers who were troubled by injuries and had a guaranteed playing time. If he went to a bad team to be a rookie who lacked human rights, he would give way to the core and veterans in the team. He would probably get angry and get sick after playing for a season.

Guo Xu will also benefit from being teammates with stars.

In the next round, Stadameier and Davis played pick-and-roll, got rid of Guo Xu and made a quick breakthrough, leaving only a back view. The nickname "Little Flying Squirrel" is well-known, and it is difficult for the opponent to catch up when rushing, but his layup was slapped by O'Neal, who was resting the defense.

When Guo Xu saw the ball flying towards Harper, he immediately turned around and quickly got off the ground, running at full speed to get rid of Davis. Harper accurately passed the ball to find Guo Xu. He took the ball with both hands in front of the free throw line and took two steps to pick the basket and easily scored.
