Chapter 589 [Do you still need to watch? Every night is a victory]
There were two upsets in the game held on the same day.
The 76ers played an overtime game at home and lost to the Bucks 112-120.
TJ Ford made 6 of 13 shots, 8 of 9 free throws, scored 20 points, 9 rebounds and 14 assists, and performed not inferior to Iverson. As a thin defender, he actually grabbed the highest 9 rebounds in a single game in his career and almost won a triple-double, which was shocking.
Iverson played for 50 minutes, made 11 of 28 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 11 of 15 free throws, scored 35 points, 2 rebounds and 9 assists, and his shooting percentage was only 39.3%.
The Bucks scored 6 players in double digits, while the 76ers had only 4 players.
In the summer, the 76ers' lineup is recognized as strong, with outstanding players in every position, but the players in the game cannot be connected at all. Iverson and Weber scored. The others pulled away the opportunity to catch the ball and attacked, and the counterattack was not sharp.
Rookie forward Danny Granger didn't play for a minute.
Head coach Morris Chicks is also a coach who is a silly coach. He uses Korver, Iguodala and Salmons to rotate in two positions of the swing man. Granger can only watch the fun. His figure and physical fitness are useless.
Guo Xu read the news and wrote down Granger's name on the important memo notepad.
The Suns can consider digging Granger in the future. This is a super potential stock that is difficult for the 76ers to play at the level. Even if Iverson leaves, the 76ers will choose to improve Iguodala with better physical fitness. It is difficult for Granger to obtain the ball.
The bigger upset is that the Kings lost to the rebuilt Hornets 74-91, and the Hornets were still the bottom team in the league last season.
Weaker than Guo Xu's previous life, the Hornets did not choose striker David West, and they still won.
Point guard Chris Paul played 34 minutes in his debut, making 6 of 11 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, scoring 19 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals, and his performance was very eye-catching. Mike Bibby, who faced him, made 3 of 11 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 1 of 1 free throws, and only scored 8 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.
As soon as he entered the league, Paul left a deep impression on both offense and defense.
The performance of the Kings' new leader Peja Stoyakovic is very bad, making only 5 of 14 shots, 2 of 7 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, scoring 18 points and 4 rebounds, and shooting percentage is only 35.7%.
Hornets forward Desmond Mason restricted Peja alone, without teammates assisting in defense and double-teaming. The Sanya King dunked Sanya is strong and has strong mobility, and can entangle his opponents.
In the summer, the king introduced Rahim and Bonchi Wells. Many experts believe that they can fight even if they can't beat the Sun, but they are at a loss at No. 1.
As a result, the Kings slapped the expert in the face with their performance in the first game, and only three players in the team scored in double digits.
The next day, major media were complimenting the Suns, and they were the best-performing team.
The "black pot" are all depressed. Why is it so difficult to watch Guo Xu's excitement? Those who publish long comments online and in reality have become laughing stocks. They can only hope that the sun will be over soon and cannot win next.
After reading the news, Xiao Si and Nei felt a little uncomfortable. They were worried that the Suns would not win the championship this season, but they did not want to have no impact after they were absent. This was too exciting, as if they were not important in the team.
Nene is the most depressed. He did not accept the early renewal. It was still the year of the contract. If this continues, will there be a team willing to issue him a big contract next summer?
Many fans online discuss this game.
"Jason Guo can defeat the Mavericks by leading ordinary teammates. He seems to have potential to dig. Where is the limit?"
"What will those who hate Jason say? Howard is actually underestimated by holding Marion's thigh? Bale and Haslem, who are not drafted, are both underestimated? They don't think about why all underestimated people gather in the Suns? Does anyone in the Suns management know who has the potential to play out?" (The truth)
"Does the Suns still need to watch? Every night is a victory."
"The next game is Lakers vs. Suns. The Lakers' home opening game will not be another crushing defeat, right? I'm a little afraid to watch it."
The league arranged the Suns' home opening match last season, and this time the two teams met early, full of gimmicks.
Even though the performance gap last season is very big, many people still compare Guo Xu and Kobe, because they were teammates when they were in the Lakers, Kobe is still recognized as the person who plays the most like Jordan.
The No. 1 pick, Bogut, did not take many inside players seriously in the league in the interview, nor did he look down on Guo Xu very much. When the reporter mentioned Guo Xu, Bogut refused to comment, as if he believed that the core of the inside was the king of winning.
Nowadays, many people also want to see how Bogut will perform in the face of Guo Xu.
Actually, this is predictable. Bogut must be a blue-collar worker. What else can he do?
In terms of physical talent in the past life, Bynum, who was selected as the tenth pick of the Lakers, was not inferior to Bogut. In 2001, the No. 1 pick Kwame Brown was not inferior to Bogut. They were both blue-collar workers in the Lakers.
Bogut is lucky because the Lakers do not have Chris Meim, and he will play more time than Brown.
On the evening of November 2, the Lakers made their debut and defeated the Nuggets 107-95 away.
Kobe performed brilliantly, making 13 of 28 shots, 0 of 1 of 3-pointers, 7 of 7 free throws, scoring 33 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, beating Nuggets point guard Woshan Leonard.
Bogut played for 28 minutes, making 3 of 6 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 8 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks; Odom's performance was very sluggish, making 2 of 10 shots, 0 of 3 three-pointers, 4 of 5 free throws, 8 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists; Caron Butler made 8 of 12 shots, 3 of 7 three-pointers, 1 of 2 free throws, scoring 20 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.
Smarsh Parker and Devin George also scored in double digits, and the Lakers finally showed signs of rising.
At the press conference, the reporter asked Kobe to comment on the Suns because the Lakers lost a very bad match against the Suns last season, setting a record for the team's score difference.
Kobe got angry when he heard this and slammed his former teammates. "Yes, we lost badly, but our inside line is the worst in the league, and we also have the worst center in the league history."
The reporter asked: "Are you talking about Hesheng Town?"
"Who? I can't remember the name of that person. He doesn't have an English name or any strength, but he can fight, so he shouldn't fight NBA."
"Where is Divac?"
"Did he play games last season? He only played 10 games."
In Guo Xu's previous life, Divac also worked as an assistant coach for the Lakers after retiring. Judging from Kobe's current attitude, Divac probably wouldn't have thought of the Lakers as an assistant coach.
The new season has begun, and Kobe is still worried about the Lakers' lineup last season, especially against Hesheng Town. He also sighed: "That's a really difficult day, it's really difficult."
Kobe also criticized Smarsh Parker in his previous life. In short, losing is not his problem, but his teammates are too bad, and he has to let everyone understand this.
The reporter asked Kobe to predict the outcome of the two teams in the next game.
Kobe said: "We completed the running-in, and the inside line this season is not as bad as last year. I have the confidence to beat the Suns. Of course, we have to do a good job of defense against Jason."
The implication is that if the Lakers don’t win tomorrow, they will not be able to defend Guo Xu, and their teammates’ defense is too bad.
Kobe still looked down on Parker, although Parker averaged 10 points per game last season and dribbling through halftime is still quite stable.
