Chapter 67 - [Low profile Jason Guo]
The Lakers’ second opponent is the King, and another 31-point massacre.
The opponent guarded against a long shot and the formation widened. Guo Xu reduced his outside shots to focus on breakthroughs and scored 23 points, 4 rebounds, 15 assists and 1 steal. And he only played 34 minutes, 8 of 14 shots, 4 of 7 three-pointers, and 4 of 3 free throws, which is extremely efficient.
This time Guo Xu played against point guard Bobby Jackson with three years of NBA experience. Jackson made 4 of 13 shots under Guo Xu’s defense, 1 of 4 3-pointers, 2 of 3 free throws, and 11 points and 2 assists.
Jackson averaged 14.2 minutes per game in the Timberwolves last season, scoring 5.1 points, 2.1 rebounds and 2.4 assists. He performed very badly, so he participated in the Summer League to prove himself. But in Guo Xu’s previous life, he was not a small role. After joining the Kings, he found the right position and won the best sixth person. The peak 2002-03 season averaged 15.2 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.1 assists.
Before the game started, Guo Xu made a whisper in his heart, fearing that he would not play well. As a result, he soon discovered that Jackson was nothing remarkable.
His organizational ability is very poor, only one offensive rhythm is to hold the ball singles, break or pull jumper combination, Guo Xu is easy to predict his actions, as long as not being missed, can interfere with the shot to reduce his shooting percentage. To put it bluntly, although he is only 185cm tall, his playing style is a shooting guard.
Jackson is not weak on the defensive end, the brown sugar defense, constantly looking for confrontation. However, he couldn’t limit Guo Xu when he encountered a slow pick and roll. Guo Xu staggered and played 16 Kings second-round rookie center Jabari Smith without difficulty.
The two are in opposition, and everyone can see which is weaker.
Guo Xu was the point guard who led the team’s offensive, and he was a super point guard. He picked up a rebound in the backcourt twice and sent a precise long pass to George, assisting the latter to stage a dunk, which won the audience’s applause.
After the game, Guo Xu was stopped by an acquaintance.
“Hey, Jason, I’m here to dig up the big news again.” Audrey with blond hair waved a microphone in her hand to say hello. Today she brought a pair of glasses to add a bit of intellectual beauty.
“Nice to meet you, Audrey, how are you doing recently?” Guo Xu asked with a smile.
Audrey smiled and said: “Thank you for your blessing, I have already been on the TV station. Next season, I will mainly be responsible for interviewing the NBA. As long as you help me make some big news, maybe I will become a star host.”
“Congratulations, have you started recording?” Guo Xuchao waved his hand at cameraman Ted.
“Yeah.” Audrey approached him a little, making sure both were in the camera.
Facing the camera, Guo Xu suddenly became very serious and said seriously: “Audrey, I have to tell you bad news. I decided to answer questions in a low-key manner. Many people said that I was a thorn, too wrong, I I do n’t want everyone to misunderstand me and say that I am arrogant or something, so I must be low-key. “
“OK, then I have a question now?” Audrey smiled: “You scored two doubles in two consecutive games, 15+ assists, is currently the best player in the summer league, do you think you have a smooth draft The bit is too low? “
Guo Xu said blankly: “No, after all, the **** I put in are all blinded. The assists are mostly due to the play of my teammates. My four good buddies Medvedenko, Pemexi, George, Madsen Help me with assists. I always shoot the ball and never take it. I am very grateful to them. “
“…” Audrey covered her face with one hand, crying and laughing.
Ted laughed and almost threw the camera on the ground. Is this your low profile? It’s just bullshit!
Audrey coughed and asked: “After the draft, Bob Bass said that you can’t stand in the NBA. Joining the Lakers can only be a marginal person and a mascot of the team. What do you think?”
Guo Xu froze for a moment, then smiled bitterly: “I think it’s best to cut this remake, my boss’s name is Jerry Bass, you are wrong, he will not really like me so much?”
Audrey bent over and smiled slowly: “I am talking about Bob Bass, the general manager of the Hornets, and I am right.”
Guo Xu pretended to breathe a sigh of relief, patting his chest and saying: “If the manager of the Hornets doesn’t matter, I estimate that he evaluated Kobe in 1996.”
Audrey’s smiling upper teeth are all exposed. Hurry to cover with your hand. Sure enough, it was a wise decision to interview Guo Xu in Long Beach. He made it too easy to make big news.
Guo Xu is a curse and not swearing. He made it clear that Bob Bass is a waste. Taking the trade of Kobe as an example in the Hornets was still very confident. It seems that he will reach the height of an All-Star in the future.
Audrey asked again: “Jason, you are a rookie at the end of the NBA, but you have played a dominant performance in two consecutive games. Do you think you have successfully proved yourself now?”
Guo Xu shook his head. “I was unsuccessful, the level of the summer league is not high.”
Audrey followed the topic and asked, “So what do you think is successful?”
“Help the Lakers defend the title next season and become a member of the dynasty next season.” Guo Xu’s big mouth spoiled 666.
Audrey heard Guo Xu’s remarks in the last exclusive interview, and still feels that he is very bold. “You’re just a rookie, just said to be low-key, now that the Lakers dynasty, would it seem too confident?”
Guo Xu smiled: “I am not confident, but I believe that coach Phil Jackson and OK combination. Phil can complete two consecutive championships in the Bulls, and certainly can lead the Lakers to establish a dynasty, OK combination is strong last season is obvious to all I do n’t have much pressure in the new season, I just need to do the work of coaching ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ I do n’t have to drag the stars to succeed. “
He is publicly flattering, but no one would dislike it. Who doesn’t want to establish a dynasty for the Lakers? Everyone thought, but I haven’t said it yet.
Guo Xu dared to say “big talk” than any newcomer, because this is not bragging at all. The previous Lakers have won three consecutive championships without him, but is it that he succeeded without delaying?
The next day, ABC Sports Channel aired an interview about Guo Xu, uncut. He immediately burst into the Internet and was referred to by netizens as “low-key Jason Guo”, “dynasty puzzle Jason Guo”, “Rookie First Meng God” and so on …
Fans like people with a sense of humor, strong topicality, and entertaining the public. Everyone is playing cool and showing tough time. Humor players are rare. The one who was famous was O’Neal. Now there are more individuals, just the Lakers.
Bob Bath wanted to vomit blood when he saw the news. Originally, the Hornets fans were all dissatisfied with the transaction of Kobe. Guo Xu mentioned that this will lead some people to settle accounts after the fall.
Even worse, the Hornets boss also began to see him as unpleasant, feeling that he had no sense of understanding and capacity.
The Hornets’ second-round draft picks traded out. Bob Bass tried a few outsiders, but he didn’t even have a goal in the second round. After the opening of the free market, the Hornets signed a 34-year-old veteran point guard Jose Hawkins to reinforce. This veteran is experienced and has a peak of 22.1 points per game, but his status has long since declined. And the veteran has little effect on the team’s reinforcement. Is it good to find a young small defender Iverson?
Because Bob Bass was full of chewing tongue, the Hornets also became the laughing stock of the alliance, and there was no bit of hatred between the two sides.
Bob Bass no longer interviewed the media about Guo Xu, he now knows how strong the opponent is.
