Chapter 126 [Kehei Pioneer, the Future is Yours]

Guo Xu singled out Payton twice, both of which hit the iron under serious interference, and Payton hit Guo Xu with his back and made two fouls.

In the next round, when Foster defended Wenbeck for a foul, Jackson "Zen Master" called a timeout and adjusted the lineup.

The "OK Combination" and Brian Shaw appeared together, replacing Foster, George, and Guo Xu.

This substitution became the turning point of the game, and the Lakers were beaten by the opponent in a wave, and the point difference quickly widened to more than 20 points. The tactics of the "Zen masters" are simply arranged for hypersound.

After George went off the court, Supersonic rookie Mason exploded, running away from Ryder again and again, catching the ball and hitting the basket, dunking twice, and also hitting a three-pointer on the counterattack.

Mason shot 4-of-5 in the first quarter and finished with 9 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist; Payton shot 3-of-5 from the field, 1-of-2 from three-point range, and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line in the single quarter, finishing with 9 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist; Barry also played well against Upper Brian Shaw, shooting both of them, one of which was a three-pointer, and had five points and three assists.

The Lakers' offense was completely muted, and Bryant only grabbed one rebound on 0-of-4 shooting under Payton's defense. The others had only O'Neal with six points and Fox with two.

The Lakers scored 21 points in a single quarter, and if Guo Xu hadn't scored 10 points before, the game would not have been watched. The SuperSonics scored 38 points in a single quarter and nearly hit all of their shots in the second half.

The Lakers ended the first half trailing by 31 points, leaving all spectators stunned.

In the second half, Guo Xu and the OK combination played together to strengthen the attack. Payton can only defend one of Guo Xu and Kobe, and he can't take care of it. The duo scored 8 and 13 points respectively, and O'Neal also scored 6 points, and the offense was opened.

The Lakers played 35-22 in a single quarter, but the hole dug in the early stage was too big, and they still trailed by 18 points into the final quarter.

In the final quarter, Payton showed ten success when defending Guo Xu, Guo Xu was difficult to break through, and it was not easy to catch the ball, and there were two mistakes in passing, and Payton was eaten hard by his height on the offensive end.

Ruben Patterson did a very good job of defending Kobe Bryant, who was replaced by Jackson after shooting 1-of-5, and the Lakers trailed by 27 points and went into garbage time with 7 minutes left in the game.

Guo Xu's stats are not bad, playing 27 minutes, 7 of 15 shots, 2 of 6 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and 18 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists.

Payton played 34 minutes and finished with 27 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals on 10-of-18 shooting, 3-of-5 three-pointers and 4-of-4 free throws.

O'Neal had 23 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, and he didn't take advantage of the supersonic low-post package.

Bryant finished with 19 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists on 7-of-18 shooting, 0-of-4 three-pointers and 5-of-5 free throws.

Patterson, who calls himself the "Kobe Terminator", is really not a vegetarian, he is 196CM tall, weighs 102 kg, and is a super explosive black and hard player, good at close defense, interfering with shots.

This guy doesn't know which tendon is wrong, and as soon as he enters the league, he doesn't like Kobe. He was selected by the Lakers with the second pick in the second round in 1998, and he repeatedly had frictions with Kobe, always wanted to make Kobe look good during training, and once affected the team's internal unity so he was sent away.

In Guo Xu's previous life, the two played each other a total of 26 times in their careers, including 23 in the regular season and 3 in the playoffs. Bryant averaged 29 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 2 steals per game in these 26 games, but his shooting percentage was only 43.3%, and his efficiency was indeed reduced a little.

Patterson averaged 10.7 points, 4 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.2 steals per game, and in terms of head-to-head record, Patterson was 14-12 and slightly better than Bryant.

The data proves that Patterson is not a finisher, he is just a forerunner in the black.

At 93-121, the Lakers' winning streak came to an end, losing for the third time of the season.

The SuperSonics scored in double figures, with the second-best Winsbeck finishing with 20 points and nine rebounds.

Guo Xu came on the court and shook hands with Payton, who not only did not spew trash talk this time, but also encouraged him after the fight. "You're doing well, and the future is yours."

Guo Xu was shocked on the spot, I was seen through by him? Or do people who like huddles get this kind of evaluation?

Guo Xu also had to go to the press conference when he was asked about the star vote, and when asked about the star vote, he praised Payton a few words, admitting that there is a gap between the strength of the two at present, and he has to thank the fans for his high ranking.

Payton's offense is average, and he can score more than 20 points in 40 minutes, but his defense is too strong, which is a level that Guo Xu may not be able to reach in his life. This year, it is not surprising that Payton will still be selected to the All-Defensive Team, but the SuperSonics are not good overall defense, and they may not make the playoffs.

On the Internet, many Lakers fans believe that the reason for the loss was Jackson's inaction.

If the "Zen Master" arranges to play blocking and dismantling and let O'Neal pull out to cover, the Lakers may win. But the "Zen Master" has been dozing off on the sidelines, and it is not a matter of falling behind by 20 or 30 points, and he does not call a timeout or change his tactics, just watch the star casually single-handedly pick up the blind chicken BD.

Whenever this kind of game is played, some people will question Jackson's coaching ability, poor on-the-spot adaptability, etc., he doesn't refute, he doesn't care, he is too calm. He may be born half a beat slower than a normal person, and by the time he reacts, he doesn't bother to explain anything.

Guo Xu flew back to Los Angeles with the team to sleep lazily, and woke up at ten o'clock to find Megan fiddling with the TV and DVD player in the living room, looking listless.

Since taking on the task of cooking and admitting that she is a maid, Megan has the key to Guo Xu's apartment. She claims to be convenient for cleaning the room, but in fact, when he goes to play away games, she plays computer and games at his house. Although the apartment is not big, there are a lot of things for entertainment.

Guo Xu washed up and asked, "Morning, why do you have such an expression?" ”

"I'm so depressed, can you buy me two cans of beer?" Megan frowned.

"All of L.A. knows I'm 19 years old, and I can't buy alcohol. What's going on? Are you out of love? Guo Xu saw that Meghan was not in the right mood, but he couldn't help but joke and get used to it.

"Can your cousin help buy wine? He lives not far away. Megan smiled bitterly: "My mother went back, I want to try what beer tastes like, I heard that if you are in a bad mood, you just need to drink some beer." ”

"No, I can't watch you make mistakes." Guo Xu categorically refused.

The U.S. law stipulates that you can only buy and drink alcohol at the age of 21, so there has always been a joke: "Alcohol is more difficult to deal with than enemies and wives".

Here, citizens can get married and get a driver's license at the age of 16, men must be 18 years old, different states have different laws, most states choose 16 years old as the first age node, 18 years old can join the army and go to war.

As long as the bottle is opened, it is illegal to drink it or not, and the control of drinking in the United States is so strict that it is incomprehensible. For example, if you are driving and the cab has a bottle of alcohol with the lid open, once the police find out, whether you have drunk it or not, they can punish you. In some states, no one (including legal drinkers over the age of 21) is allowed to walk on the street with an open bottle.

Guo Xuyi said sternly: "That thing is nothing to drink, it will only make people degenerate, if you want to drink beer today, you may want to drink cocktails next time, and then you want to smoke marijuana in the future, and then you will be wasted." ”

Megan bared her teeth and said, "Do you think I'm so poor, like someone who can afford to smoke marijuana?" ”

Guo Xu smiled: "In short, don't think about buying wine, I'll go out to buy two boxes of ice cream, eating ice cream with the heating on in this weather is suitable for your age, just eat some sweets." ”

"Do you think I'm a child? Eating ice cream in December, I can't eat it because you can figure it out, so I won't eat it! Megan pouted.
