The Lakers took the lead in the away game and had always been firmly controlling the situation on the field, never giving the Nets a lead.

Unfortunately, Guo Xu failed to continue his score record of 50+ in this game. He lost to garbage time and clocked in early to get off work.

The Lakers led 101 to 76 in the third quarter. Guo Xu played for a total of 32 minutes, made 14 of 19 shots, 5 of 9 three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 36 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.

Guo Xu's shooting percentage is as high as 73.7%, but fans feel that it is not satisfactory. He has played too short and his shots and scores are too few today. In the last quarter, Guo Xu sat off the court, and some fans of the Nets hope that the home team can catch up with the score, and then he will come back and play for a while.

The Lakers mainly have two sets of tactics. Guo Xu and Guo Xu were attracted to double-team and pass the ball. Whether Carter or Horford, when receiving the ball, they first look at the bottom corner and then at the basket. If all teammates are blocked, then look for Guo Xu who runs to pass the ball.

The Nets were trapped by the Lakers' joint defense and their offensive efficiency was not high. They only scored 17 points in the second quarter, and the rotation players were completely silent.

Nurkic came on as a substitute to defend the Lakers' penalty area in the second quarter, and neither Banyani nor Thomas Robinson of the Nets' substitute inside team could beat him.

Banyani is a famous Italian No. 1 pick. He shot well at his peak and averaged 21.4 points per game. Unfortunately, he has the attributes of a glass man. He has been seriously injured every year since 2010. He often gets reimbursed if he can't play half of his shots in a single season. His shooting gradually loses his accuracy, and he can't grab rebounds on the defensive end and cannot defend against people. This is probably his last season in the NBA.

Robinson is also a high-ranking parallel player. He moved to four teams in three years after being selected in 2012. He was cut by the Hawks before he finished his rookie contract in the fourth year and joined the Nets with a basic salary.

After the net team is in a group, the role players must find low-paying players. Thomas has a chance to perform. He is just physically good, has no independent offensive ability, can only pick up bargains at the basket and has no range. Nurkic does not have to go out to prevent him from going out, he just needs to interfere in the penalty area.

Bogdanovic and Ellington can shoot three-pointers, and their physical fitness is generally entangled. Heavy point guard Jared Jack has a very strong state, no breakthrough speed, and no outside shooting is accurate.

Both sides sent a substitute lineup in the final quarter. The Nets didn't let the stars play again, just because they didn't want to see Guo Xu appear again. If he catches up with the score difference, he might be 50+ when he comes back in the second half.

Beverly couldn't defend, and others couldn't defend. Guo Xu could easily pass Wade now. James was the main defense, so Guo Xu changed to running without the ball, and took James around to find cover.

As a big muscular man, James is not as flexible as a defender and cannot defend himself.

The Suns won 28 points in the final game at 123 to 95.

The die-hard fans of the Nets were desperate after watching this game. The Lakers won so easily away under Guo Xu? What if the two teams encountered each other in the finals? James was swept again?

This is not an ordinary regular season game. The single-core team played the Big Three teams completely, which has greatly improved the morale of the Lakers. The confidence of young players has been played out, and they will not be afraid of other teams’ stars.

Before the game, many fans blew Beverly's defense, saying that he had restricted Westbrook and no one thinks he is powerful now.

Indeed, Beverly's defense is fierce and positive enough. His attitude is not a problem, and his single defense is good. He only scored 0.579 points per round in the first six games, and he suppressed his opponent's singles shooting percentage to 26.2%. In addition, his strategy of paying attention to physical confrontation on the defensive end has indeed played a role in consuming the opponent.

However, he was not good at defending pick-and-roll and interfering with fixed-point shooting. His overall defense was suspected of being overestimated because his physical fitness was only average. He had never encountered stars like Guo Xu before. As for the third game, Westbrook restricted Westbrook... just Wei Shao's shooting, and when he felt bad, he would hit the iron without any defense.

The Nets also had an embarrassing situation, and Wade's performance was extremely unstable. After being entangled by Robertson in this game, he made 3 of 12 shots, made 4 of 4 free throws, and scored only 10 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.

James's performance requires his teammates to attract defense outside the three-point line and open up space. He played better when he partnered with Bogdanovic. He played for 32 minutes, scoring 24 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Wade also joined the Cavaliers for James in the 2017-18 season, but was sent back to the Heat after only half a season. The Cavaliers got only a second round pick. If Wade hadn't asked to leave, the Cavaliers would not trade him.

James and Wade overlap, so teammates with specific roles must cooperate. Their success during the Heat is related to Bosh's frequent guest appearances as centers. There are also players such as Bathir and Ray Allen who are good at shooting three-pointers. Now the Nets starter is Beverly, and it is difficult to play if they are stared at.

When the Lakers are on the court, they can ensure quick defense swaps. What the Nets need most is not the second ball-holding offensive point or the second organization point, or a three-pointer.

"Warcraft" Howard scored 16 points and 10 rebounds, including 12 points in the first half, was sent to the free throw line many times in the third quarter, and only made 4 of 10 free throws, without any sports game scores.

When evaluating Howard, O'Neal said: "If he could set a good example, they could be a very dangerous team, but he's been in the league for 10 years? He's still the same for the years."

Although Ewing and Olajuwon have coached Howard, he has not made any progress since 2009.

The Nets' lineup is flawed, and they can win in singles against most teams, and it will be difficult to play against teams with excellent defense on the upper wing.

Tucker's arrival significantly strengthened the Lakers' wings. He and Robertson were extremely efficient when defending power forwards. On the surface, they were tall and disadvantaged, but West, Thomas and others were far away from the basket.

The Nets' pick-and-roll cooperation was also prevented. The small forward switched defense very quickly, which was very similar to the Suns' situation back then. Haslem and Millsap were both short forwards and did not suffer any losses when grabbing rebounds.

At the post-match press conference, Guo Xu attracted the attention of all reporters.

The reporter asked: "You led the Lakers to easily defeat the Nets, which ranked No. 1 in the Eastern Conference and the Big Three teams, what do you think now?"

"I don't have any special feelings. I rarely lose to James' team. If I lose, I will feel more." Guo Xu paused deliberately and smiled: "I am not targeting James, and I rarely lose to other teams led by other stars. This season will be no exception."

The reporter asked: "The Lakers' lineup is not strong. What do you think is the key to the team's winning goal?"

"I can attract double teams. My teammates are selfless in sharing the ball. Try to transfer the ball to an open position to shoot, and then everyone's shooting percentage is relatively high. I think this is the key to winning."

Guo Xu also praised PJ Tucker in particular. "We made three-pointers better after he joined. I like this new teammate. He is very tough and can help the team on both offense and defense."

The reporter asked: "Will you feel regretful if your 50+ record is broken?"

Guo Xu shook his head. "There is nothing to regret. If the opponent keeps double-teaming me and his teammates have good open shots, I can't keep forcing me to shoot. We are not that kind of cancer."

A female reporter asked: "If you were born in Chamberlain's time, how many points do you think you can average a game?"
