Chapter 242: 【Starting streak, set a new record】

The Lakers obviously had reservations in the preseason. The Big Three rested only about 25 minutes per game. Even so, they still achieved a 7-0 victory.
"Men" Phil Jackson let Fisher start and Guo Xu came off the bench. This was not a deliberate restriction of Guo Xu, but he found that playing the Lakers like this was more powerful, and the opponent could not resist it.
Kobe took a four-minute break in the first quarter, Guo Xu replaced it, and then the two brought the bench together in the second quarter, O'Neill took a rest. In this way, when the Lakers rotate players, they can guarantee two super score points on the field to lead the team.
The other three rotations in the second quarter were Jim Jackson, Horry, Medvedenko, all good at catching shots.
The attacking power of the Lakers' bench is terrible. It is not worse than the starting lineup. It can shoot outside and score low. It is just that the big man withdrew the basket and made room for it. Guo Xu and Bryant broke through.
After grabbing a rebound in the backcourt and launching a fast break, the Lakers were also caught off guard by surprise. After Jackson joined, Devin George, who had an unstable shot, could only be a marginalist.
After Guo Xu said that offensive is the best defense, the Lakers coaching team became more daring, and they did not need to pay too much attention to defense, and they could kill their opponents.
In the past, "Zen Master" Jackson likes to use Madsen, has better defense, and can rush to the offensive rebound. Now he found that if the center's last big man could pull the shot, there weren't so many frontcourt rebounds to grab.
The Lakers keep at least two stars on the court and will disrupt the rotation of their opponents.
In the first official strength list, the Lakers ranked at the top of the list without suspense. Some experts proposed to count the last season's win. This Lakers has no difficulty in breaking the 33-game winning record, but it can't be counted together for two seasons.
In addition to playing basketball, Guo Xu also has a new hobby, studying composition and arrangement, musical instrument matching and so on. The Lakers won too easily in the preseason. He has more free time in his spare time, and studying music will not consume physical strength or affect his state.
O'Neill was very happy. Guo Xu told him that he was going to release a single together in the future. In addition to O'Neill, he would also be called Kobe. The three-person chorus had more gimmicks.
On the 30th, the Lakers opened the game at home, and the opponent was the Blazers.
Before the start of the game, the Lakers held a championship ring awarding ceremony and paid tribute to the victims of the September 11 incident.
The Blazers could still face the Lakers last year in the opener. This year it was a unilateral fight.
Guo Xu started to defend the "Little Flying Squirrel" Stardamer, and Bryant defended the old Pippen. Except for "Roaring Heavenly Lord" Rashid Wallace, the Blazers had no advantage in every position.
O'Neal brutalized Dell Davis in the first quarter, Guo Xu finished the first round of No. 28 rookie Eric Barkley in the first quarter of 2000, and played Shawn Kamp after a pick-and-roll. The score difference was widened to 22 points, the Lakers led 27 points in the half, and the victory was locked early.
In the second half, the Lakers played casually for a while and then sat on the sidelines as the audience went. The pure bench lineup led by Fisher, Jackson, Bowen, George, and Madsen played against the Trail Blazers.
In the end, the Lakers easily made a good start, with six of the team scoring in double figures and three of them 20+.
The new rules of the defense are obviously useless for O'Neal. He attracted teammates in the post to throw out teammates and throw three points. This was the case last season. And the Blazers couldn't shrink the formation too close to the penalty area, and they didn't dare to let the players defend their position in the zone.
Guo Xu headed the ball with a single head swinger, small forward, and the speed advantage was obvious. Kobe Bryant singled out "Little Flying Squirrel", it was a serious misalignment, just play casually.
The only disappointment for the Lakers is veteran Richmond, who scored 20+ for 10 consecutive seasons, but he was unable to move after being seriously injured last year and can only be a marginalist. He is very slow, only catching the ball and shooting is not bad.
In November, the Lakers defeated their opponents, and the Jazz, Suns, Grizzlies, Magic and other teams failed to pose a threat to them.
It wasn't until November 18 that the West's second-ranked Kings made the Lakers feel a little threat, but it was only a little, and they didn't even play in overtime.
In the last two minutes, Guo Xu and O'Neill had a ball-free screen on the right to get rid of Bibby's jumper and hit a three-pointer. The same tactic in the next round, Guo Xu got a misplaced opportunity, got rid of Divac by speed, attracted Weber to make up the post-defense, and assisted Horry with a three-pointer on the left corner to widen the point difference to 10 points to lock the victory. .
Guo Xu played 34 minutes and scored 27 points and 8 assists to easily crush Bibby. The latter made 4 of 13 shots, 2 of 3 threes, 4 of 6 free throws, and only 12 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.
On November 21st, the Lakers slaughtered the Nuggets at home. Their opponents didn't want to live anymore. Only Van Exel scored in double figures.
At the end of the month, the Lakers defeated the supersonic, and Payton had no way to take Guo Xu.
Guo Xu will continue to find cover to get rid of, relying on speed to deal with Payton. When he is slow to pursue, Guo Xu will misplace a big man or shoot directly. He will catch Guo Xu and choose to score.
Payton went to defend Guo Xu, but his teammates couldn't defend Kobe. Kobe Bryant singled out Brent Barry easily. Ruben Patterson, known as the "Kobe Bryant Terminator", had already gone to the Blazers.
The Lakers started with a 15-game winning streak. Guo Xu was the best player of the month in the Western Conference for the first time with an overall performance of 23 points, 2.6 rebounds and 6.8 assists, defeating his teammates O'Neal and Kobe.
The main reason why he won the award is that the shooting percentage is too high, overall 53.2%, three-point 45.5%, free throw 87.9%, and only 180 clubs away.
Guo Xu used dribbles to make moves during training, or took the shot directly. It seemed the simplest unmanned free throw, but his shooting percentage was not high enough. He usually doesn't spend time training, and this value is also very good.
In the first day of December, the Lakers played against the Timberwolves at home. Guo Xu scored 45 points and 6 assists in three quarters and severely abused tens of millions of veteran Trier Brandon.
After experiencing the Yin-Yang contract incident, Joe Smith signed the Timberwolves again, which did not help the team's inside. The O'Neal still had to rely on Nestorovic, of course, could not help.
The final game ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The Lakers inside and outside are crushed. The Timberwolves' only shy cloth is Garnett's stats. Regardless of whether the team can pass the first round, the Wolf King can steadily average 20 + 10 + 5 per game every season, as accurate as a machine.
On December 5, Guo Xu started helping O'Neill to create opportunities again. The "Big Shark" savaged the Mavericks who lacked a meat shield center and scored 46 points, 15 rebounds and 2 assists.
On the 7th, the Lakers met Weber's missing king. O'Neill began to help Guo Xu to brush the data. Within a few minutes Guo Xu broke through the foul and knocked Divac down. Divac is one of the slowest centers in the league. The defender's breakthrough is the scum. He doesn't prevent it. Bibby can't catch up with Guo Xu. The periphery can get a mobile phone meeting.
Guo Xu 31 points and 6 assists, O'Neal 30 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists, both played less than 35 minutes, and then lost to garbage time, rest in the final quarter.
On December 14, the Lakers defeated the Clippers, Kobe Bryant scored 41 points and 7 assists, helping the Lakers start to achieve a 20-game winning streak, continuously refreshing the history of the opening record of the NBA.
Everyone was shocked, the Lakers Big Three are unstoppable, as long as the players have no serious injuries, they seem to break the record again this regular season!
