A ninja who is good at 550 once said: "Luck is also part of strength."

Guo Xu was very lucky today. He played against the Trail Blazers in the first regular season game of his career. The opponent's substitute center was "Rain Man" Kemp. He was probably not as active as veteran Sabonis in his pick-and-roll defense.

Time is a bag of fat in April, and Kamp's round figure will make many fans think that they have recognized the wrong person.

At his peak, Kemp was 208CM tall and weighed 104 kilograms. He had the speed of a defender, could withstand the strength of the center, top-notch bounce and explosive power. In terms of technology, he could dribble through the fast attack of half-court, mid-range shots, and singles. In addition to supporting the pass slightly weak, he was impeccable.

Now, Kemp is no longer thinking about basketball. His uncontrollable diet has caused his weight to rise sharply to 136 kilograms and his condition has dropped rapidly.

Bulgar, drug abuse, alcoholism, sexual corruption. If these adjectives are used to summarize a person, then this guy can only be Camp Russell. Russell has 11 championship rings and Camp has 11 illegitimate children. If he gave birth to boys and inherited his talent, he would have contributed to the future development of basketball.

The Trail Blazers made two stupid deals in the summer, and they exchanged the Pacers with unlimited potential for veteran Dell Davis.

In Guo Xu's previous life, facts proved the Pacers' senior management's keen eye. O'Neal Jr. was a minion who could only contribute 3.9 points and 3.1 rebounds in the Trail Blazers. After the Pacers, they averaged 18.6 points and 9.6 rebounds per game and were selected into the All-Star six times. This was the result after being greatly reduced due to injuries.

It would be much stupider to come to the transaction to Camp than to send O'clock away. Although Camp was so fat that he couldn't touch the basket, he signed and joined the Cavaliers in 7 years with $107 million in 7 years. His contract expired in 2004, and the Trail Blazers would definitely be very happy.

The game continued, the Trail Blazers played pick-and-roll, and Rashid helped Wells get rid of Lydel.

Wells attacked the basket with the ball, and Grant's athletic ability was not as good as before. He couldn't keep up and did not make a foul. He watched Wells score a one-handed dunk. 32 to 24.

The Lakers attacked, and Guo Xu looked for cover again. This time, Kamp came out and stood relatively well.

It is logical that Rashid will be much better in defending the pick-and-roll, but he has played for the first quarter. Dunleavy arranged for him to focus on the offensive end when he went on the court in the second quarter. If he frequently switched defense backs, Rashid's physical strength would be difficult to support the whole game.

Dunleavy is a head coach with rigid tactics and seriously overrated. If the Trail Blazers have a coach who has better adaptation on the spot, they probably wouldn't be reversed and eliminated by the Lakers last season.

Guo Xu dribbled the ball on the left this time, and accelerated with a change of direction and passed Camp. Before Anthony could catch up, he stopped and made a jump shot at the horn position!

34 to 24, Guo Xu scored 13th in his own score. He made 5 of 5 shots, his hands were so hot that he had already cut off his pass keys in his heart.

The Trail Blazers attacked, Rashid gave Anthony a cover to help him get rid of Guo Xu, Grant's replacement slowed down, Anthony made a quick stop and jump shot from the three-point line. 34 to 26.

Guo Xu dribbled the ball to the frontcourt again, and Anthony kept his distance.

Anthony was blocked by the big man's cover several times before. Once he bumped into the big man, he would not be able to chase and defend. Camp was too slow, and Anthony knew that he had to chase and defend in place.

Guo Xu waved to Foster to cover. As soon as he finished his gesture, he suddenly pulled the ball in the middle and took a three-pointer with his right foot.

Anthony's attention was all on Foster, trying to bypass the cover and chase the defense, but Guo Xu suddenly took action. The step back opened up a little further, and Anthony jumped and blocked a little slower.

Guo Xu rarely played in preseason games, but he never lost his training. He had only one choice to shoot, he made a decisive move, and he was exhausted and the ball was hollowed into the net.

37 to 26, with 16th point in the individual, 6 shots.

After scoring the goal, Guo Xu was so excited that he forgot that this was the away game and that he had a bad habit of dancing awkwardly anytime and anywhere. He walked into a space step when he returned to defense.

The fans of the Trail Blazers home court were shocked and booed. On the Lakers' bench, many people, including O'Neal, were also stunned. This newcomer is so bold!

The opponent was full of momentum, and Dunleavy was forced to request a timeout.

Hovas said: "Jason Guo's performance reminds me of the 'madman' Van Exel. They are both short guards, they were selected by the Lakers in the second round. They all have a strong desire to attack and dare to shoot endlessly."

Woodson smiled: "I think he found the feeling of the summer league."

Van Exel was selected by the Lakers in the second round in 1993, and was selected as the All-Star in 1998. He is a black player with a figure similar to Guo Xu.

He scored 13.6 points, 2.9 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1 steal in the rookie second team. In the second season, he scored star data, 16.9 points, 2.8 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 1.1 steals. Last season, he averaged 16.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 9 assists in the Nuggets.

In fact, Van Exel didn't make many shots, and he made 15.7 shots in 37.9 minutes in his peak season. The nickname of "Crazy" comes from his crazy three-point shooting, and he averaged 6.4 shots per game in the second season.

Of course, Van Exel's "crazy" is compared with other point guards at the same time. In Guo Xu's opinion, 6.4 shots are not crazy at all, which is simply too low-key. He is afraid of being crazy. Throwing 10 three-pointers in one quarter is not a problem.

Phil Jackson discovered that Guo Xu was a "crazy" in the summer league. This kind of person and OK were not easy to match the ball. It was very suitable to take the substitute offense. It was a real bench gangster. With him, the OK combination can rest for a while in the regular season to reduce the possibility of injury.

The coaching staff is very clear that Kobe is physically strong in the regular season, so it doesn’t matter if he plays more, O’Neal must save energy.

Although O'Neal played a lot of playing time last year, Jackson indulged him to be lazy during training, otherwise the fat man would not be able to escape the misfortune of injury. After all, he is a super heavyweight insider. He consumes physical energy when playing and puts much more pressure on his feet and knees than ordinary players.

Kobe often expressed dissatisfaction with this. He often trains for 6 to 7 hours a day and cannot tolerate people who only practice for 30 minutes.

Jackson heard Kobe complaining that he always stood on O'Neal's side, which could better stimulate Kobe and stimulate his potential. Jackson is a smart person who knows what needs to be done. This is O'Neal's team.

After the timeout, Jackson emphasized the tactics: "If Kemp defends the penalty area, pay attention to the side without the ball cover and the bottom line cover, Isaiah and Devin will widen the distance to catch the ball and shoot, and Kemp cannot defend. If they replace Kemp, foul as soon as possible when returning to defense, don't send them free throws, we have to adjust the substitution."

Kemp's weight is to be able to fight O'Neal alone. Once he gets off the court, the Lakers will be able to fight O'Neal in a low position. The Trail Blazers' other inside weight does not exceed 110 kg.

Jackson is very good at using the team's advantages to help stars create singles opportunities, which not only wins, but also makes the stars' data beautiful.

After the timeout, Dunleavy had not replaced Kemp, but changed his defensive formation and let Kemp be responsible for defending the penalty area. Rashid went out to defend the pick-and-roll, preparing to exhaust Rashid.

In addition, he replaced Steve Smith in advance, replaced Ogmon, and added an outside attacker.

The second quarter was just beginning, and the Trail Blazers' trump cards were already played.
