Online fans often discuss Guo Xu's performance in the Drew League crushing everything, and the coaching staff will certainly not ignore it. Head coach Phil Jackson and girlfriend Jenny Buss, who are on vacation, also talk about him in their spare time.

"What do you think of this young man, Jason Guo?" Jackson asked.

Jenny put down the newspaper in her hand and smiled: "I don't think he's like a young man. He has plans for every step he takes and has achieved the goal he wants. As long as you give him enough ball rights in the new season, I think his performance will surprise everyone."

"Yes, but I haven't figured out how to use him well yet." Jackson sighed.

"Why?" Jenny frowned. She was a person who always puts her work first and cared about the team.

Jackson smiled bitterly: "Because Mickey signed Isaiah Ledel, I am going to let him play as a substitute, so I'm a little hesitant to train Jason to play as a starting player or a substitute, and they may have a ball rights conflict."

Two days ago, the Lakers announced that they had signed the 196CM tall and 98 kilogram striker Isaiah Ledel with a veteran base salary. Most Los Angeles fans welcomed him because he is famous and has good personal abilities.

Last season, Rydel played 60 games for the Hawks, averaging 19.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists per game, shooting percentage of 41.9%, and 31.1% of three-point shooting percentage. He has also averaged nearly 20+ points per game in several seasons.

However, Leidel has never been selected as an All-Star, and is recognized by the league as a thorn in trouble everywhere. No team is willing to give him a big contract. He chose to cut his salary and join the Lakers because he was desperate and worked hard for the championship ring.

When you look at Ledel's resume, his short basketball career can be described as "scarcely bad records", and his personality is even worse than Rodman.

Although Rodman acted strangely, he was very hard on the court, while Leidel had countless off-court bad records and long-term violations of training discipline, including being late, absent from training without reason, missing team planes, spitting at fans and airport staff, attacking others and hiding marijuana, etc.

In 1993, he started to be late when he was training for the Timberwolves. In 1996, the Timberwolves management had no choice but to trade him to the Trail Blazers. The transaction cost was extremely low, and the two players he received were marginal people, plus a first-round pick.

Last season, the Hawks were almost over the end of the regular season and could no longer bear to cut them, and threw away the team's number one scorer before the game was finished. This kind of thing was unprecedented in NBA history and no one came later.

The Hawks, the top four in the Eastern Conference, wanted to make a further record, so they used Steve Smith to trade for Ledall. However, the Hawks, whose lineup did not change drastically, fell out of the ranks of the playoff competitors early when they added newcomer Terry. Ledall looked at the core on the surface, but in fact, they were a cancer of the team.

Kupchek signed the contract with Ledel's personal ability. He had no choice but to make it. In order to strengthen the No. 4 position, he was going to send former All-Star small forward Glen Rice. The Lakers had no salary space to sign big-name wing players. Ledel was already the strongest candidate that the Lakers could find in the free market.

The management's original intention was to lead a substitute in the second quarter and attack with the ball. But Guo Xu made a big splash in the summer league, and he obviously had the ability to lead a substitute to attack with the ball. Leider has been famous for many years and even if he makes sacrifices when playing as a substitute, if he doesn't have the right to play, he might do something that will destroy the harmony of the locker room once he is mentally disabled.

Jenny thought for a while and said seriously: "I think they may cooperate well. Whether in the Summer League or the Drew League, Jason has shown strong breakthrough ability. He is good at launching fast breaks. If they are allowed to play fast breaks together in the second quarter, it should be able to ensure scoring efficiency. George is also a player with strong impact. Why don't you consider speeding up the offensive rhythm next season? If they turn on, the OK combination can also get more rest time."

Jackson nodded. "This is indeed a solution, I will try it during training."

Many people think that the "Zen Master" doesn't like fast attacks, and say that his tactics are rigid, that is, the OK combination attacks and others defend. Glenn Rice, as the third scoring point, also had ordinary data last season. The OK combination played very high, and many media said that he relies on stars.

In fact, when Jackson first became the head coach, he was good at fast attacks. The Bulls had the first three consecutive championships, relying on defense and rapid offensive and defensive conversions.

Before Jackson coached the Bulls, the Bulls were basically Jordan's team. In the playoffs, facing a strong team like the Pistons, they could only rely on Jordan's personal performance to barely win a few games and then be eliminated.

The Bulls have significantly improved to a higher level since the 1989-90 season. Pippen began to participate more in offense under Jackson's training. Players like Patterson and Cartwright can also play singles confidently when facing strong teams.

Jackson is good at setting up wing defensive traps on the defensive end, putting strong pressure on the ball holders and intercepting the passing routes. While effectively defending, he also brings a lot of fast attack opportunities! Compared with previous seasons, the Bulls' offense and defense have improved too much.

In addition, Jackson also has a precedent for using the sixth person well, and he is very good at coaching Kukoc.

Jackson tends to let Guo Xu be the sixth man in the team. Only in this way can he not waste his offensive talent and play time with Kobe. He can shoot more shots at a certain period of time. Forget it, let a thorn control the ball and hinder the training of new players, it would be better to cut him directly.

The Drew League is still continuing, and there are often news about Guo Xu and others on the Internet, and their popularity is increasing.

The Lakers management was not idle either, they participated in the league's largest multi-party deal in the summer.

The Knicks won veteran Glenn Les and Telves Best from the Lakers; veteran Luke Longley from the Suns; Maxwell, Steinpanya and Lazaru Burrell from the Supersonics. They have gathered a bunch of garbage contracts and bench players to strive to get coach Jeff Van Gundy to lose his hair in the new season.

Among the well-known stars, Ewing was the most miserable in his later years. He devoted his golden career to the Knicks, but in his later years he was booed and despised by New York fans and was forced to leave the city where he had paid for 15 years. In Guo Xu's previous life, the Knicks were cursed since then, and they were still a bad team until 2018. Stars would not feel a sense of belonging in such an inhumane team.

The Supersonics received Patrick Ewing from the Knicks and were preparing to sell penalty tickets based on King Kong's popularity. The championship and other things were all over the clouds, and they didn't think about it at all.

The Suns won Chris Dudley and a future first-round pick.

The Lakers won Horeth Grant, Greg Foster, Chuck Burson, and Emmanuel Davis. The two inside veterans are urgently needed by the Lakers, and the other two marginalists can be cut directly, and they became the only winners of this deal.

In Guo Xu's previous life, the Lakers did not rely solely on the OK combination to establish a dynasty. Their lineup depth ranks among the top in the league. "Cobra" Grant is 6.5 million next season and is still an excellent blue-collar power forward. He also has mid-range shots on the offensive end, averaging 8.1 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game last season.
