Chapter 210 [Year of the Lakers, a big winner! 】
In the final game, the Lakers massacred the Mavericks at home.
The Lakers Big Three did not appear in the final quarter, and the five players sent were Fisher, Pan Persie, George, Madson, and Foster. The Mavericks took the opportunity to recover a little point difference.
Fisher was in a low mood and suspected that he was sent to the court during garbage time. The coaching staff wanted him to brush up the data, but fortunately he was put on the shelves in the summer. He could not relax on the court. Only by letting the team see their value can he have a chance to stay.
Guo Xu's confidence began to expand after playing this game. He played for 28 minutes, made 8 of 14 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, 9 of 10 free throws, and scored a double-double with 28 points and 10 assists.
Mavericks point guard Nash also played for 28 minutes, basically following Guo Xu's butt and was in a state of dust. He did not perform much in offense. He made 0 of 4 shots, 0 of 1 three-pointer, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 2 points and 6 assists.
In Guo Xu's previous life, Nash was a great man who won the MVP in the Suns for the rest of the year. Now the two are facing each other, Guo Xu has no pressure to play, just playing. When Guo Xu concentrates on defending with all his energy and keeps tangling with each other, it is difficult for Nash to get a mobile phone, and he cannot get rid of it by relying on his personal ability.
O'Neal, who had 32 points and 13 rebounds, completely crushed against Bradley, and the two were not comparable.
O'Neal originally wanted to play Bradley alone at a low position, but Guo Xu advised him not to do this, pulling out and playing pick-and-roll, because he was afraid of causing casualties. Bradley's center of gravity was too high, and the person was less than 110 kilograms. If he was hit back and fell to the ground, it would be dangerous.
This kind of scene Guo Xu met twice during the regular season, which was really terrifying. Fortunately, Bradley was not injured.
O'Neal likes to show his strength, but he doesn't want to be a murderer on the court, so he comes out to cover and create a misalignment opportunity. It's easy to squeeze out Nash's empty cuts, just run two more steps.
After the fight, both of them felt that they had sublimated. How kind they are.
After the game, a Chinese reporter asked Guo Xu to evaluate Wang Zhizhi, who scored 5 points at a press conference.
Guo Xu said: "He has range and excellent steps. What he needs to do now is to strengthen his defense. He is a good power forward in the pick-and-roll offensive tactics and can help the team open up space."
The reporter asked: "People often say that the NBA playoffs are more intense, which is a big test for new players. After entering the playoffs, you perform better than the regular season. What is the secret to ensuring good shape?"
Guo Xu smiled and said, "There is no secret. The Lakers are too strong. Shackle and Kobe can create opportunities for each other to fight one-on-one. I often play pick-and-roll and get opportunities for misaligned attacks. If I don't perform well, I'm guilty."
After a day off, the second game between the two sides continued to be played at the Staples Center, and the situation was still one-sided. In the end, the Lakers easily beat the Mavericks 108 to 86.
Guo Xu and Kobe's shooting feel average, but the Lakers still win very easily. The inside advantage is too great. The Mavericks can't defend except using the "shark-cutting tactic".
O'Pang is there, and the dream is there. He played for 38 minutes, scored 36 points, 20 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks, and the penalty area was turned into a no-fly zone by him, dominating the basket with both offense and defense.
Guo Xu and Kobe contributed 20+ and did a good job on the defensive end.
The Lakers not only performed well in the Big Three, but also had highlights in the role players of the Lakers. Zhu Wan Howard and Nowitzki were a bit ugly in the front line of Grant, Horry and Bowen.
Nowitzki made 4 of 13 shots, and only scored 16 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists with 8 free throws; Howard made 2 of 14 shots, 3 of 4 free throws, and only scored 7 points and 10 rebounds.
Coach Nelson felt a little desperate. He tried many tactics and kept making personnel adjustments, but the Mavericks could not pose any threat to the Lakers, and it was highly likely that they were swept.
In contrast, Lakers coach Phil Jackson is simply the audience. He adjusts to wait for the other party to call timeouts and official timeouts.
After two games in the second round, major regular season awards were announced one after another.
Guo Xu triggered a huge butterfly effect, and the Lakers became the biggest winner of the regular season in the 2000-2001 season, winning many awards, and the "Iverson Year" became the "Lakes Year".
Guo Xu averaged 20 points, 2.4 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.4 steals per 33 minutes per game, shooting percentage of 50.2%, three-point shooting percentage of 43.1%, and free throw shooting percentage of 86.7%.
His data is so impressive. He was elected the Best Rookie and Best Sixth Person unanimously, becoming the first player in NBA history to win both awards at the same time, and also set a record of winning the lowest pick of the rookie.
If the Sixth Man was awarded to McGee of the 76ers, no one would accept it. The difference between the two was too big. McGee averaged 11.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 5 assists per game, and 33 games, which was more than Guo Xu of 25 games.
Phil Jackson was elected coach of the year. If Jackson won the best coach last season, Brown might have the strength to compete, but last season the winner was Magic coach Doug Rivers.
The selection of this award is nonsense. Rivers led the team last season with a winning rate of only 50%. The Magic ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference and did not make it to the playoffs. I don’t know what big gift he gave to the judges, but he actually defeated Jackson with a winning rate of 81.7%.
The fastest-progress player award was won by McGrady of the Magic. Last season, he was the second leader of the Raptors. After joining the Magic, he became the core of the team and was selected as the All-Star. The Hawks Jason Terry lost to second place.
The Sixers did not get nothing, and Deakinbe Mutombo was elected the best defensive player.
All-Defensive Team: Payton, Kidd, Garnett, Duncan, Mutombo.
Defensive second team: Kobe, Doug Christie, Bruce Bowen, PJ Brown, Shackle O'Neal.
O'Neal won the regular season MVP for the rest of the year, averaging 35.3 minutes per game, scoring 26.3 points, 11 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.2 blocks, shooting percentage of 57.2% and free throw percentage of 52.8%.
O'Neal's data has dropped compared to last season, and his efficiency has not decreased. He has added points to his record-breaking best record. He has not played for a long time, and he is still the best data in the Lakers.
The three Lakers Big Three need to share their shooting rights, and Kobe's data is not as good as his previous life. He averaged 35.5 minutes per game, scored 24 points, 5.1 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.4 steals, shooting percentage of 47.2% hit a career high, shooting percentage of 32.9% from three-pointers and shooting percentage of 85.3% from free throws.
Judging from the data, the Lakers are the team building model of the Big Three teams in Guo Xu's previous life, creating opportunities for each other, making the shooting percentage extremely high. On the surface, the data has dropped, but it is actually easier to win.
Driven by three powerful scoring points, Lakers' role players are also very efficient and can perform when they come on the court. The Lakers averaged 111.2 points, conceded 97.2 points, and outperformed their opponents by 14 points.
In contrast, with the 76ers, Iverson scored high scores with low shooting percentage, and his teammates were not efficient. He won by defense, averaged only 94.7 points per game, conceded 90.4 points, and only surpassed his opponent by 4.3 points. It is clear at a glance which is stronger and who is weaker.
The first team of the All-Squad: Iverson, Kidd, Chris Webber, Duncan, O'Neal.
Best second team: Kobe, McGrady, Carter, Garnett, Mutombo.
Best three teams: Payton, Ray Allen, Nowitzki, Karl Malone, David Robinson.
Guo Xu was unfortunately not selected into the Best Team, which was indeed inferior to Payton than the data, but his record was much better. After knowing the result, he was very calm. He was able to break the record and win two awards.
