Chapter 243: [Christmas Wars, 2 Miracles]

In Guo Xu's previous life, the Lakers performed very well in the beginning of the 2001-2002 season, losing only 3 of 20 games. Later, the record fell because O'Neal was injured and missed 15 games. The Lakers lost to the weak.
O'Neal was injured due to fatigue in the previous life. Jackson has allowed him to play 40 minutes per game for two consecutive seasons. Before leaving the Lakers, he never played less than 35 minutes in a single season.
As a result, during the pre-season training camp of the 2001-02 season, O'Neill was surgically corrected for the hammer toe on the little toe of his left foot. The hammer-shaped toes are similar to "chicken claws", and the toes are squeezed "warped up", and over time, the toes can no longer be kept in their original positions.
After the operation, O'Neill's hammer toe was successfully reset. But I don't know if it is the problem of this operation. After that, O'Neill's right big toe has been troubled by arthritis. Several consecutive surgeries also made him miss the 2001 and 2002 All-Star games.
But now this hasn't happened, O'Neill's style of play has changed, reducing the low-level offense, the offense is much easier.
O'Neal's playing time has also been reduced by more than 5 minutes. Jackson used O'Neal in his previous life because the Lakers only had two super points with him and Kobe. The third point was Derek Fisher.
Now Guo Xu not only averages 20 per game, but also drives Jim Jackson, Medvedenko, Horry, Fisher and others to score. The Lakers' attack power exploded. If the star still played more than 35 minutes, it would be to score points during garbage time.
Even if the Lakers' playing time is shortened, it leads the league with 1158 points per game. O'Neal occasionally fights for one or two games, other times it is a dish abuse, facing opponents who are completely unequal in size.
The Lakers Big Three have complementary offensive distances and clear division of labor. According to the opponent's lineup, they can adjust their play style at any time. Someone can stand up and lead the team to win. It seems that no team can beat them.
In the Christmas War on December 25, the Lakers faced the 76ers at home.
After sending off the defensively good Deron Hill and trading Derrick Coleman, the 76ers would not play anymore, opening 11 wins and 15 losses, and the record was outside the playoffs.
Iverson is currently ranked first in the scoring list, averaging a career-high 44 minutes per game, scoring 32 points, shooting only 394% from the field, shooting 29% from the 3-pointer, and his only highlight is averaging 10 Second free throw opportunity, shooting 812%.
Last season, Amy believed that the 76ers lost in the Finals because Iverson led the team independently. Only he attacked, and no one could help him share the pressure on the offensive end. As a result, Coleman came this season, and Iverson led the team independently. Only he attacked, and then even the people who helped him share the defensive pressure were gone.
In fact, as long as the word "independent lead" is removed, everyone can discover the truth.
No matter which team, if there are individuals on the team who have averaged ten free throws per game, the average number of shots per game can still be close to 30, then no one can help this man on the offensive end, because he alone takes the whole team. With 40% offense, you can't get a few times at all.
In Guo Xu's previous life, many people in the future said that "Turtle" Westbrook played too alone, and the possession of the ball was too high. They must have never seen Iverson play. In contrast, Wei Shao's shots are clearly within the acceptable range. He likes to brush triple-doubles and will help his teammates.
Just look at Iverson's current playing style, fans will not feel Westbrook alone. Iverson completely regarded himself as a shooting guard, and it was irrelevant for him to drive the team's offense. He played only five assists in 44 minutes. They were all invisible near the penalty area and were assigned to open teammates.
Amy often proudly said that Iverson is a player without templates, which is not bragging. Not only did he not have a template, he did not use him as a template in the draft afterwards. After all, in the regular season, he can be a player who can average 15 iron per game, and he is the only one in NBA history.
And Iverson is now not only averaging 15 irons, but 17 irons, which is a miracle.
Guo Xu's data is not as good as Iverson, averaging 154 shots per game, slightly lower than Iverson's number of iron hits, the two shots are only 3 difference. In this case, if Iverson is more popular than Guo Xu, unless North America has no fans, only ball blindness.
Guo Xu ranked No. 1 in the Western Conference in the All-Star vote. His popularity surpassed Kobe and was slightly inferior to O'Neal. Kobe's popularity also surpassed Iverson.
Fortunately, Vince Carter was ranked as a striker in the east, otherwise Iverson could not make the star starter, and he now lags significantly behind the comeback Jordan, ranking second in the Eastern Guards.
If there are no accidents, this season will see the grand start of the Lakers three players together in the star game.
Espn commentator Woodson commented on the appearance of the players on both sides: "Jason Guo rises too fast. If in the June 2000 draft, he said that he will surpass Iverson in the future, no one will believe, but now he only It took a season to surpass Iverson and become the most popular point guard in the league. This is a miracle. "
Partner Horvath said: "The most terrifying thing is that Jason's popularity is based on strength. The 76ers started so poorly this year. I think it has a direct relationship with the stimulation of the finals last season. The players have no fight. Alright. "
No one wants to bear the biggest disparity in the finals in history and become the background board for opponents to take the throne. This is particularly cruel for Iverson, who has a strong self-esteem. He has been waiting for the Lakers for revenge for half a year.
After the game started, Iverson led the team in his usual way and shot wildly.
Last season, Grant's pick-and-roll prevention was based on experience. The speed was not fast enough. The anti-burst and anti-shooting. It was not too difficult for Iverson to get a mobile phone, but he was not allowed to shoot. Now that the Lakers have started as Samaki Walker, pick-and-roll and jam-blocking shots are better than Grant's, and the Sixers' cover tactics are not good.
So Iverson increased the heads-up with the ball. After three quarters of playing iron, the game smoothly entered garbage time, and the Lakers easily won 118-82.
Guo Xu felt average outside, 6 of 12 shots, 2 of 6 3-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, 20 points and 11 assists.
Kobe Bryant did not shoot much, 6 of 13 shots, 2 of 3 3-pointers, no free throws, 12 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists.
The performance of the two was already big enough, and the Lakers scored in double figures with 7 players. O'Neal had 26 points and 8 rebounds ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Samaki scored a double-double with 18 points and 10 rebounds.
Iverson is the highest scoring player in the game, 12 of 33 shots, 2 of 7 3-pointers, 7 of 8 free throws, 33 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists.
After the game, it was only at the end of 2001 that someone put forward the argument "Iverson is a tumor", which attracted many people to discuss.
"Iverson's desire to win is definitely the strongest in the league. Jason Guo and Kobe are not as good as him, so he has more shots than the two. Can such a person really lead the team to win? "
"I do n’t see much in the game, but those who say that Iverson is very strong, please tell me, what is he strong? The opponents who defended the finals scored 51 points from 75%, with few assists. Iron, is this strong? "
"Any other star besides Iverson is playing like him. Who can give me an example?"
On the Internet, the number of Ami has decreased sharply, and most of them have become pot secrets.
According to this trend, it is difficult for Iverson's star votes to reach half of last year.
