Chapter 185 [Mid-term trade, invincible team]

Several major transactions occurred on this year's NBA trading deadline.

The Wizards exchanged Juwan Howard, Calvin Booth, Obinar Ecki for the Mavericks' Kristen Letterner, Dontney Alexander, and Burshert Davis.

Jordan is preparing to make a comeback with the Wizards, and Howard, who has a salary of 20 million yuan, named it for Letterner. Letterner is no longer the same as before. This season, the Mavericks' average of 7.5 points, 4 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game in the Mavericks this season, making it difficult for people to associate it with the word "genius".

Guo Xu couldn't figure out why Jordan wasted his final career on garbage teams like the Wizards. He definitely didn't do it for money, he only got a basic salary when he came back. He was not for the championship, and the Wizards' garbage lineup could not win the championship.

The Wizards are now a very inconspicuous team. The team's business is bad. In order to boost the team's commercial value, the Wizards board of directors hired Jordan as the team's general manager.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Jordan's comeback two years ago led the market but was fired and his shares were taken back, which was obviously used.

The most popular deal is the 76ers and the Hawks.

The Sixers got star center Deakinbe Mutombo and forward Rosham McLeod.

The Hawks got forward Tony Kukoc, center Theo Ratlif, center Nazel Mohammed, and marginal man Sanchez.

76ers coach Larry Brown is the head coach of the Eastern Conference. He took advantage of the All-Star Game and risked being fined by the league to invite Mutombo. Mutombo's arrival is a "timely rain" for the 76ers, otherwise the 76ers who lost Ratliff would be in trouble to pass the second round.

The Hawks didn't make anything. They bet on Ratliff's future. With the young Jason Terry and Lorenzen White, they seem to have a good lineup next year and have unlimited potential, but they ignore the injury factor.

Only Guo Xu, the reborn man, knows that Ratliff is a super pit. If there is no butterfly effect, he will only play 3 games for the Hawks next season and be reimbursed again, and then gradually becomes an ordinary blue-collar worker.

Experts and fans generally hope that the 76ers broke out in the East, and read the news and online comments. Iverson is like the protagonist of "Don't bully the young and poor". He seems to have to make a big comeback after this deal. With the help of "Mu Lao", he will beat the team all the way through the hurdles and pretend to slap all the teams in the face, and it is a bit difficult to deal with the boss Lakers in the end.

In addition to criticizing Guo Xu, Amiss also began to criticize O'Neal, believing that O'Pang can only play with his body and his skills are far inferior. Even if the Lakers have the best regular season record, the MVP should be Iverson's, otherwise it would be unfair.

After Guo Xu browsed the comments of fans, he felt that he and the Lakers were villains. If the 76ers could win this year's finals, what a legendary story that would be. Fans would have to tell for a century.

However, it is definitely impossible to let him let the water go or be an undercover agent. When he goes to the court, no matter how invincible his opponent is, he has to win.

People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. The entire league has begun to block the Lakers. Whether the teams in the playoffs or bad teams, they try their best to play the Lakers. The players want to defeat the Lakers to prove their strength.

The Lakers maintained a complete victory in February with their strength, and after defeating the Nuggets, they won 23 consecutive games. So far, the second-longest winning streak in history is theirs.

Experts commented on the Lakers that their strength is not only because of the strong personal abilities of the stars, but also because they play more team than last season. The Trident's performance is not stable, but there are always people who can stand up and score points in every game, and they will attack the opponent's weaknesses.

Guo Xu's average of 17.6 points per game is not too high, but his assists have increased to 5.7 per game, ranking first in the team.

Kobe averaged 5 assists per game, O'Neal averaged 3.7 assists per game, Fox averaged 3.2 assists per game, and the team averaged 24.2 assists per game, and the ball was very smooth.

Originally, Jackson liked to let O'Neal play in the second quarter to play a pick-and-roll with Guo Xu. Later, he began to try to let Guo Xu replace Kobe in the first quarter, and played a pick-and-roll attack with O'Neal for a while in the second half.

In this way, O'Neal can reduce the physical energy consumption caused by a strong attack on the low post in the second half of the first quarter, and he can rest for a while at the beginning of the second quarter.

Kobe took a break and partnered with Guo Xu on the outside to take the bench in the second quarter. His overall attack power was stronger and his offense and defense conversion was faster. The other three were Ryan Bowen, Horry, and Devin George.

Veteran center Greg Foster no longer makes a lot of appearance. In order to play Kobe and Guo Xu's strengths, the Lakers coaching staff formulated small ball tactics.

The characteristic of this lineup is that it is particularly mobile and can fight quickly. Guo Xu and Kobe are not able to double-team the opponent directly in the counterattack. They can also pull out the pick-and-roll when attacking the position, and George is responsible for covering Guo Xu in the middle.

During the rookie challenge, Guo Xu and Kenyon Martin cooperated to inspire the Lakers coaching staff. After research, they decided to train George to allow him to play as a power forward at a certain period of time and play like Martin.

George is also a beast forward with super strong strength and explosive power. His disadvantage is that he has never been able to find the positioning. He has played in 2, 3, and 4 positions, and his performance is average, his shooting percentage is not high, and his shooting percentage is even lower with the ball-holding offense.

Judging from his body shape, George is similar to Martin, he is just a little shorter, and his weight of 106 kilograms can withstand the power forward. If he is asked to lose weight and do a swinger, his shooting is unstable and he still plays with his physical fitness. It is better to be the No. 4 position directly.

In this way, the unlucky person is Medvedenko. He has no chance to play because of his poor mobility. Madson can still play with his outstanding defense and compete for rebounding skills.

This change in the Lakers made the opponent very uncomfortable. George played the 4th position with a quick cut speed. Even if he didn't cover it, he could pull it away and withdraw the inside. The opponent's power forward was not guarded and George could shoot directly when he received the ball. The big man defended it, and he could hold the ball like a swinger.

The No. 4 position does not necessarily have to be tall. This year's Eastern Conference All-Star Anthony Mason Jr. is only 201cm tall, shorter than George. The famous power forwards Oakley, Barkley, Rodman and others were not tall either.

It's easy to deal with if the opponent sends a big man who is good at attacking at low posts. The Lakers just need to send Grant or Madson to the inside to give Horry a rest. As long as the opponent does not attack the penalty area, Horry can play more and remove the penalty area to the maximum extent.

Kobe and Guo Xu usually communicate more often, there is no problem of difficult ball rights. If you have something to say, look at the status of the two of them on the court, the opponent's defense will determine who will shoot more and who will shoot less.

When Kobe has an advantage in a single fight, Guo Xu will naturally pass it; on the contrary, if Guo Xu faces the point guard who is not defensive, Kobe will be willing to pass the ball. He can shoot three-pointers in the positional battle, and when the counterattack, he will enter the penalty area like he is stepping on the Hot Wheels.

Currently, Guo Xu's face frame ball change and back turn are the fastest among Lakers players.

His training ideas in the time loop are very correct. After the physical fitness and reaction speed are improved, the power of breakthrough will naturally increase. If he is not fast and his explosive power is not strong, he will be like Canon Baker and will not become a star even if he attacks kaleidoscope.

As long as the stars are not injured, this Lakers are an invincible team, and nothing can stop them from achieving the best record!
