Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 99 - [If you do n’t want to be strong, you can be strong]



Woodson sighed: “Jason Guo is not weak at the critical moment, he does not behave like a rookie.”

Hovas said: “He will face a huge test on the defensive end, and Stockton and Malone play another pick-and-roll.”

Guo Xu did his utmost to chase Stockton and gave Malone to his teammates. Stockton scored the ball, Malone singled out Fox, turned around and hit a shot, 93 to 91.

The performance of the second jazz veteran was very good. The star of the year when the Lakers played, bit the score.

“Zen Master” Jackson requested a suspension, emphasizing tactics but no substitutions. In fact, it may be better to let Madsen who has not played for a minute to play the defense against Malone, but Jackson does not trust the two insiders, fearing they will make mistakes. Madsen and Medvedenko’s main task is to guard the drinking fountains, part-time cheerleaders.

Jackson’s offensive tactics are very simple, hand over the ball to Kobe Bryant. It was risky to challenge O’Neal at the last minute, and he was fouled if he missed two free throws.

Substitution for the Jazz. Lewis, who has a strong impact, replaced Manning.

This is a smart adjustment. They are defensively ready to wait for O’Neal to foul as soon as he receives the ball.

The Lakers attacked. Kobe Bryant singled Starks one step inside the three-point line on the right side.

The rebound was grabbed by Lewis and passed to Stockton. Guo Xu forced the frontcourt to block his breakthrough route and prevent the fast break. Stockton gave Starks on the left.

Starks is a combo guard with good dribbling skills. He was transported to the frontcourt under Kobe’s pressure and passed to Lewis who followed up on the right. Because the Jazz did not play the center, the Lakers players on the field are a bit chaotic, Lewis is empty, only O’Neal under the defensive basket is closer to him.

This is a misplacement. Lewis saw O’Neill’s distance from the side was a bit far, and took three steps to catch the ball and rushed up. He jumped up and tried to dunk. He felt that as long as the goal was scored, he would be on fire.

In Guo Xu’s previous life, even O’Neal, who was about to retire, could not tolerate the opponent’s dunk like this. Pistons defender Starkey died like this. O’Neill didn’t get stuck and threw a slap from the side to turn Lewis even with the ball over the ground.

The referee’s whistle sounded, O’Neill went for the ball but the beater came first, and he also “graduated” six offenses.

Hovas said: “The Lakers are in a bad situation. Today they are doing very badly in controlling fouls. O’Neill should not be impulsive. He was completely at a disadvantage when he was inside the Lakers.”

Woodson smiled: “If O’Neal is chosen again, I think he will still do so, he will not allow newcomers to be arrogant in front of himself.”

Lewis was fine after falling to the ground. He made two free throws on the free throw line. The two sides reached a 93 draw. Jackson again requested a timeout.

Whether the fans watching the live TV or the fans at the scene pinched sweat for the Lakers, the two major starters were sent off, the Lakers can hardly defend their opponents, and now can only fight offense.

Jackson didn’t use the tactical board, he directly said tactics. “The next player pulled away, Jason singled Stockton, and if he attracted the pass, he passed the ball. The defensive end strictly guarded the outside shot. If Malone received the ball near the penalty area, he fouled badly and sent him. penalty.”

Korby’s face was a bit ugly, knowing that the coach was dissatisfied with his performance, the key moment gave Guo Xu the ball.

In the second half, Kobe’s condition is not good, the odds of hitting iron are greater than the goal, 10 in the previous quarter, 4 in this quarter, 1 in 5. Jackson knew he couldn’t let him continue to cast the ball like this. He scored 31 points, including 12 of 13 free throws.

Jackson knew that Stockton had no strength, and he also knew that Guo Xu would dare to take a key shot.

Guo Xu listened to it, and the corners of his mouth had an obvious curvature, and his eyebrows were also bent, but he didn’t laugh out loud, which attracted his teammates to look sideways.

Guo Xu firmly believes that his single-handed Stockton is definitely simpler than Kobe’s single-headed defensive expert, and it is easier to help the team win. His excitement makes his teammates surprised.

Grant and Harper were players who entered the NBA in the 1980s. They have never seen a rookie with such a big nerve.

Kobe Bryant sighed: This kid is too courageous. At this time, is he not afraid to miss the ball and take responsibility for the loss? Does he not know what is nervous?

Kobe played in the Lakers for 4 years, hit 9 key shots, 5 times by penalty shootouts or dragged into overtime, he missed more key shots in the sports game than hits, including two Three non-stick. Kobe will be nervous every time he hits a critical moment. Guo Xu looked excited, as if he had already thrown the ball.

Because Guo Xu sees it very thoroughly, he is not afraid of being missed or being sprayed. He only feels that this is a good opportunity to become famous. He is only the last rookie, just a rookie season, he can’t make a key goal, it’s justified, what’s so afraid of?

The gimmick of the last rookie can relieve him. It’s normal for him not to play well. It’s a big dark horse after playing well. Pressure? nonexistent. It doesn’t matter if the Lakers lose today, anyway, it’s just a regular season game that doesn’t affect the ending, and the winner is the one who laughs to the end.

If you don’t want it, you will be strong, but if you have ambition, you will be strong.

When he first entered the league, Guo Xu put his personal position very well. He came to the Lakers to hug his thighs and became famous. It is best to play beautiful data, and the data is generally acceptable. He hadn’t thought of becoming the boss just after entering the league, because that was impossible. Even if the rebuilt rotten team will not let a 180CM Chinese rookie be the core in the rookie season, unless the boss and head coach are crazy.

As long as the Lakers defend the title, UU reads www.uukanshu.com. He is a hero and a champion puzzle. No one will say that he is a drag on the team. He knows that the Lakers have the ability to win the championship, which is even more stress-free.

The whole league has this mentality, only Guo Xu, he is the most daring.

On the Jazz side, Sloan could not have guessed that Jackson would give the rookie the ball at the last moment. He arranged to guard against Kobe. “O’Neal was sent off. The Lakers will definitely give the ball to Kobe to attack and watch him closely, forcing him to shoot away from the rim. The flank will assist at any time, giving him enough pressure and interference!

Both players came on stage, five Lakers: Guo Xu, Brian Shaw, Kobe, Leder, Fox.

Five Jazz: Stockton, Starks, Russell, Lewis, Malone.

With 28 seconds left until the end of the final quarter, Guo Xu’s three-pointer outside the ball and other teammates pulled away, five people can shoot, no inside.

Stockton’s heart jumped, and with an ominous hunch, the other party was playing and resting, and he was still very energetic, and he was tired.

In 20 seconds, Guo Xu turned the dribble to the right and entered the three-point line, pulled a position by speed, and stopped the ball in one fell swoop.

Stockton jumped sideways, not asking for blocking but asking for interference. He predicted that his opponent would shoot, because Guo Xu had always been very determined. Unexpectedly, Guo Xu made a fake fake move at a critical moment, which was more patient than before, and then he jumped forward and hit Stockton to push the ball out.

The goal was not scored and the referee’s whistle sounded. This is not a home whistle that gives preferential treatment, but an obvious cheating foul!

Guo Xu knows how to play more efficiently. He deliberately practiced foul-making techniques, hoping to get more free throws in the game.

He made two solid free throws, 95 to 93, and his 15th point.

The Lakers took the lead again, and the audience was boiling.
