Chapter 934 [Breakout! The time to rise has come]
On the 27th, other teams in the league appeared one after another, and some fierce games appeared.
The Thunder lost to the Bulls 106-115 at home.
The Bulls lacked two defensive strongmen, Jokin Noah and Roll Deng, which was a little worse than Guo Xu's previous life. But their offense became stronger. Nick Young and Salmons could play singles and catch shots, and Ray Allen and Rose's offense was even stronger.
The inside players also performed well, Millsap made 8 of 13 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 1 of 2 free throws, scoring 18 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals; substitute Ty Gibson also scored 12 points and 6 rebounds.
The Bulls' biggest weakness is center. The management signed Milicic in the decline in September at a low price, newcomer Asik, and veteran Cote Thomas substitute.
Thibodeau's arrangement of the joint defense system has made up for the Bulls' lack of individual defense capabilities to a certain extent. The most important person on the defensive end is Millsap, and the team needs him to defend the pick-and-roll.
Millsap also obtained a lot of ball rights on the offensive end. In Guo Xu's previous life, the Bulls dug Boozer. Millsap's mission was similar to his, pulling out the ball and shooting, occasionally cutting and holding the ball.
If he can beat the Thunder, the Bulls will definitely be competitive in the Eastern Conference, and Ross is also a contender for the MVP. He scored star data last season, averaging 20.8 points and 6 assists per game.
The Thunder's problem is lack of cooperation, which mainly relies on the stars' personal abilities to win. Westbrook and Horford's pick-and-roll are the only tactics that can be seen.
Experts analyzed the Thunder's tactics last season, and Wei Shao accelerated and killed his opponents with speed in counterattacks; DeRozan was responsible for leading the substitute; Horford was responsible for sorting out the offense; Durant was responsible for stabilizing the situation and grabbing points at critical moments.
To summarize it briefly, it's just a fool.
It is hard to imagine that Scott Brooks won the Best Coach Award last season.
In Guo Xu's previous life, DeRozan's performance was based on breakthroughs and mid-range shots. Now he has not yet mastered mid-range shots and has not much ball rights. He is more miserable than Harden in the Thunder.
Because he cannot shoot three-pointers, he has always been an inefficient scorer. With more than 8 free throws per game in many seasons, his true shooting percentage at the peak is only 55%. He also likes to shoot large two-pointers, with a peak shooting percentage of 41.4%.
If there is not so much power to practice the feel, DeRozan may be an ordinary role player for the rest of her life without leaving the Thunder, with the maximum limit being the sixth person.
The Warriors beat the Rockets 134-110 in the first game, and performed very strongly in the new season.
Kobe made 18 of 24 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 9 of 12 free throws, scored 46 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, with a shooting percentage of 75%, and a big explosion!
Curry, who was called "System Redick" by fans, also had 22 points and 10 assists, with a shooting percentage of more than 50% in both events.
Bynum returned from injury and scored a double-double of 12 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks.
Brand's form has also rebounded slightly, with 14 points and 8 rebounds, and his shooting percentage has reached 50%. If he is an ordinary role player, he is fully qualified as a power forward, but his contract is too bad.
Only Roll Deng's performance was average, with 2 of 7 shots and two free throws, scoring 6 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.
The Warriors' substitute lineup includes swingman Reggie Williams, the point guard "real Redick" who renewed his contract in the summer, the double-powered guard Jerry Bayless with outstanding physical talent, the inside rookie Greg Monroe, and the soft ball inside David Anderson who can shoot.
If Barbosa of Brazil is still there, the Warriors' outside substitute will be stronger, but he is dissatisfied with too little ball rights, so Xia Tian offered a deal and was sent to the Pistons for exchange for Bayless.
Barbosa is not qualified to choose a team, joining the Pistons is terrible for him. Detroit is on the verge of bankruptcy and is not suitable for living. There is also Ben Gordon Bayless, who is similar to his style, and he is not reused by the Pistons, and he is the same.
The Warriors performed well in the preseason, ranking 9th in the league in the official strength list, and "Little General" Johnson did a good job as the head coach.
When coaching the Mavericks, Johnson liked to arrange singles tactics and play the ability of the star to play. His playing style tends to be triangular offense, which combines some characteristics of the Mavericks and the Lakers.
Kobe is the team's first offensive point with the ball, and a one-on-one challenge is an opportunity. "Little Shark" Bynum is responsible for making the axes at low posts, and is a weakened version of the "Big Shark". The coaching staff also arranged an off-ball tactic for Curry, such as the weakened version of Guo Xu.
The Warriors' playing style is in line with the three Lakers that year and finally starts to win.
The affected one was Luo Er Deng. The coach did not arrange tactics for him, but he just played casually, so the data could not be beautiful. However, he had signed a high-paying and long-term contract, so it didn't matter if he had no data. He could focus more energy on the defensive end.
The time for the Warriors to rise is coming, and experts predict that they will make the playoffs.
Because Harden's performance last season was eye-catching, the Kings' game also received widespread attention, and he defeated the weak Timberwolves 111 to 105 in the first away game.
The Kings management let Jason Richardson and Raymond Felton go for nothing, and the lineup has become significantly weaker, but Harden and Lopez are not strong in the pick-and-roll.
In Guo Xu's previous life, the Kings were the league's number one playoff difficulty household and did not make it to the playoffs for 12 consecutive years. This was done by the management themselves. They were unwilling to offer large contracts for role players to retain people, and the manager's draft vision was unreliable.
Harden can become an ordinary star here. If he wants to become a superstar, he must leave the king in the future.
The Suns played away against the Jazz in the second away game, and the Jazz's strength declined compared to last season.
Center Memit Oku, who was selected as All-Star, was scrapped due to injury, and the Jazz failed to exchange for Al Jefferson from the Timberwolves, and could only use Kellelo Feshenko to play.
Feshenko, who is 216cm tall and weighs 131 kilograms, moves slowly and has a bad pick-and-roll defense. Deron Williams is a heavy defender and doesn't chase fast enough. These have created opportunities for Guo Xu's outbreak.
In the first quarter, Guo Xu and Roy had average touch, and the Jazz led by 3 points.
As soon as the rotation lineup was in the second quarter, the Suns quickly overtook the score. The Jazz's substitute and strength were very different, and they were 6 points behind and entered the second half.
The Jazz's overall offense is not bad. Deron, CJ Miles, Batum, and David West cooperate with each other. Kirilianko can only play as a substitute because she doesn't shoot well enough.
Guo Xu broke out in the third quarter, hitting 6 three-pointers in a single quarter, widening the score difference to 17 points and entering the final quarter.
In the final quarter, Guo Xu continued to play and continued his touch, relying on cover to catch the ball and shoot three-pointers, counterattacked and scored three-pointers, and made four three-pointers in 5 minutes, widening the gap to 27 points, entering garbage time.
Guo Xu played 38 minutes in the game, made 19 of 30 shots, 13 of 20 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, scored 57 points, 2 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals.
On the 29th, they faced the Lakers back to back at home, and the Suns won 126-114.
This game is quite fierce. Guo Xu played for 42 minutes, scoring 41 points, 5 rebounds, 13 assists and 2 steals.
With two consecutive games of 40+, more and more people are optimistic about Guo Xu's scoring title this season. He can score high scores as long as he guarantees playing time, and his teammates can help him create singles opportunities.
Guo Xu held the ball far from the basket and fought alone, which attracted double-teams and was easy to assist. If he didn't double-team, he would be able to shoot in if he found a phone.
The Lakers can't defend themselves. The 36-year-old Fisher is slower than last season. Ellis has always relied on his physical defense, and there is no way to face Guo Xu, who has many dribbling tricks.
