Chapter 1101

After four consecutive wins, many people began to predict whether Guo Xu could break Chamberlain's record of 50 + in seven consecutive games. Moreover, he is likely to score more than 50 points per game this season, creating a new player's scoring record in a single season.

It took Guo Xu only four games to consolidate his "throne" after his return.

His new No. 58 shirt has sold so much that all fans want to buy a collection.

Nike also has his new boots ready for sale during the all star weekend.

Many fans believe the Lakers can win the championship this season, and experts are beginning to change their words, saying that the Lakers are the four seed teams for the championship.

Only a few experts poured cold water on the Lakers' defense.

"It's impossible to win a championship by offense. The Laker role player has to work harder and balance offense and defense."

"In the regular season, the Lakers can play very well with Guo Xu's personal ability, but their flank defense and defense against pick and roll are too poor, which can be seen from veteran Vince Carter's field start. If you don't make up for this weakness, their overall strength is not as good as the Suns of 2005-2006 season, it is difficult to break through in the West

This is the real expert, through the overall data analysis can see the hidden dangers of playing the Lakers, rather than go crazy with the crowd to a certain star.

Guo Xu won the championship in 2006, which had something to do with the overall defense efficiency of the team. The 76ers in 2000-2001 season are also like this. If it is not for the strong defense of role players, how could they be brought into the finals by a man with a real shooting rate of 48% in the playoffs?

The Clippers are the only playoff team in the four games of the Lakers, and the other three teams are not strong. If they meet the Spurs and warriors, they will be killed by a wave of opponents.

The Lakers fly back to Los Angeles, the next game is against the weak nuggets, sure to win easily.

Not every player in the team is happy. Some benefit from tactics, while others are worse than last season because of tactical changes.

Guard Jordan Clarkson, along with his agent, filed a deal with management, demanding that "if you want to play in a weak team, the sooner you leave, the better."

If he plays in the first half of the season, Clarkson's chances of winning a big contract will be even lower. He has no data in the first half of the season. What extent can Clarkson play hard in the future? He is now determined to pursue a big contract.

Clarkson trade who is a big problem, the Lakers do not need draft rights, they want to win the championship is the ability.

Kupchak's idea is to change to a power forward who is good at pick and roll, a role player like Haslem.

Hofford has an injury risk, playing time is not suitable for too long, he will have a rest defense problems.

Both Harrell and Boozer are defending black holes at present, and hofford is not very good at defending pick and roll. In fact, he is more suitable to be a center forward in small ball tactics, which can fully open up space.

The trouble is, Clarkson last season's data is good, can attract some teams, but he is only a second round rookie, the contract signed is too small, just use him as a chip, it is impossible to get back any strong man.

The Lakers don't have any players to pack. Nurkic is more attractive. If you exchange them for one person to achieve salary parity, the Lakers will surely lose money.

Kupchak can't make a decision to pack a player, let alone nurkic's starting center. So he invited Guo Xu to the office after training, talked to him about his ideas, and said two trading intentions to see which one Guo Xu liked.

Trading Clarkson, Guo Xu has no opinion, this teammate has no future, playing any position has defects. He and Louis Williams, Jamal Crawford, Ginobili and other famous sixth person, shooting instability.

He wants to go, and the Lakers have no reason to get in the way of money.

Kupchak's first choice is still reliable, piston's Marcus Morris, a good mobility power forward, can throw three-point ball, offensive side is good at opening space.

However, Marcus is a strong offensive defensive weak people, as a power forward defense in general, can not play center, rebounding ability is too poor.

The second choice is to trade with the Knicks in exchange for Derek Williams, the famous parallel goods leader.

When Derek of 203cm was selected, he claimed to be able to play inside and outside of the double energy front. As a result, he was not tall enough to play power forward, and it was cumbersome to play small forward. He's bad at shooting, average in defense and bad in rebounding.

Derek has participated in the slam dunk competition, and his athletic ability is excellent, which is the important reason why he became the top of the list at that time. Kupchak thinks that it may be possible to make progress by letting such people play around Guo Xu.

Guo Xu shook his head: "don't think, he can't play, I'm not God, can't let this kind of player practice shooting well. I can only attract the bag and put the ball into the open position, and the people who can't throw in the empty space can't save it

Kupchak asked, "what do you think of Marcus? He's not very good at defense. If we want to find a strong defensive player, we have to send out potential players in the team. Is nurkiki going to stay? I don't think he's working well with hoffordGuo Xu said with a smile: "he's good. Stay. When it comes to the team with poor internal confrontation ability, he can become an important offensive point, and there should be room for play in the playoffs. I don't think it's very useful to come here

Kupchak sighed, and he guessed that might be the result. What Guo Xu said is very reasonable. It's not helpful for the team to come here. Why do you need to make this deal?

Guo Xu thought for a while and said, "I have a candidate. You can try to dig him. Maybe you can dig into the team, PJ Tucker of the Jazz team."

"Is he too short? Can you play power forward Kupchak has always been concerned about the NBA, do not need to check the information to know who Guo Xu is talking about.

Tucker, the second round rookie in 2006, was fired after playing 17 games for the Raptors. Since then, he has been forced to leave the NBA to work in Europe. At that time, his registered height was 198cm, and his actual height was 193cm. As a small forward, his height suffered losses and his shooting was not stable enough.

After many years in Europe, Tucker returned to the NBA after three-point practice, and won a contract with the bulls in 2012.

He joined the Jazz freely in 2014 and was not offered a big contract due to his limited height. He is very brave in the jazz, not afraid of any confrontation, rebound is also very active.

Tucker is a reliable bottom three-point shooter, able to play in multiple positions, he can defend anyone and, if necessary, even get him to defend the opponent's interior.

Because of his height, he didn't play much time. Last season, he averaged 5.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.3 steals per game. His shooting percentage was only 41.1%.

At the end of the season, he is a free agent with a small contract of 4 million a year. Jazz as a bad team, no one is not for sale, Clarkson such as offensive players to join, they will certainly welcome.

The salary of the two is not equal. The Laker should add a second round draft right. After the salary increase, the draft right is more valuable.

Guo Xu said: "you trade him. I have rich experience in small ball. When he and Robertson play together, the forward position is fuzzy, and they can all make it to the power forward. It's enough to defend them and keep up with the defenders

Kupchak thought about it and nodded, "OK, that's him."

Kupchak thinks there is no need to have a meeting with scouts, assistant managers, etc.

Guo Xu's love is the most important factor, and other factors are secondary. Guo Xu 183cm height can become the first person in NBA history, small Tucker may be able to do a qualified power forward, which is much less difficult than Guo Xu.
