As soon as Fisher landed and knew he was finished, his right foot was in severe pain, to the point where he could not stand.

The referee stopped the game and let the Lakers team doctor into the court, and the team doctor asked Fisher a question to determine that it was not a sprained ankle, and immediately accompanied him to the hospital for a detailed examination.

In the next game, Phil Jackson still didn't use Guo Xu, let Harper and Brian Shaw play cameo point guards, and the task of attacking with the ball was handed over to Isaiah Ryder.

"Zen Master" does what he says, even if Ryder performs badly, he gives him the ball and lets him wave as he pleases.

If Guo Xu is not up, the Lakers' offensive and defensive conversion will not be fast, it is not the rhythm that Ryder likes, Jackson wants to use this way to make him see his pounds clearly, and he will be laid off if he is dissatisfied in the future.

The OK combination played too shortly, and the SuperSonics completed the comeback under Payton's leadership, and finally won 102-97, giving the Lakers a third straight defeat.

Guo Xu played 8 minutes and only scored 4 points and 2 assists, even so, he was so excited that he called Megan Fox to his home when he went home, ate snacks and instructed her to clean the room to celebrate.

If Fisher has a long-term truce, the "Zen Master" does not reuse Guo Xu, does he keep letting the two 198CM veterans make cameo point guards? The Lakers' two-quarterback style of play relies on Kobe Bryant's ability to defend and defend defense, but this way is not mainstream after all. Guo Xu feels that as long as Fisher does not come back, he may play an average of 30 minutes per game.

The next day, the Lakers officially announced Fisher's injury, he suffered a stress fracture in his right foot and will be out for surgery for four months to six months.

A stress fracture, also known as a fatigue fracture or cumulative strain injury, is a bone injury caused by overuse and is susceptible to athletes with a lot of weight on their feet, such as basketball, soccer, and tennis players, as well as track and field, gymnasts, and dancers. Fisher did work hard in the summer, but the price of improving his strength was reimbursement.

In the previous life, China's number one star Yao Ming was ruined by this injury, Guo Xu was deeply impressed, and he had already taken precautions, and he worked hard to train his foot strength in the time loop, plus his weight was not large, and the chance of suffering this injury in the future was very small.

After the game, the media unanimously agreed that the Lakers were going to be unlucky, with Harper, the starting point guard last season, approaching the age of 37, and backup guard Brian Shaw being 35 years old, with a thin No. 1 position.

Guo Xu has not played more than 10 minutes in a single game in the preseason, and the "experts" who praised Guo Xu in the summer league have changed their tunes, saying that he cannot adapt to NBA-level confrontation.

Many "experts" asserted that Guo Xu was not good at the confrontation without watching the game video, on the grounds that he was shorter than Iverson. In fact, Guo Xu and Iverson faced each other for a few minutes in the first game of the preseason, and the two stood together and were similar in stature.

The Lakers' final opponent was the Mavericks.

Point guard Steve Nash, who averaged 8.6 points, 2.2 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game last season, is clearly about to explode this year and has played well in the preseason.

As a member of the 96 Golden Generation, Nash was drafted by the Suns with the 15th pick in the first round, and he could only play off the bench and had no ball. After Nelson Sr. took over the Mavericks, he recruited Nash into the team in a shortened season, immediately allowing him to play 40 starts in the regular season and improve his playing time to 31.7 minutes.

Nash's defense is admittedly poor, if it weren't for the old Nelson who doesn't pay attention to defense, God knows when he will come out, and now the general argument in basketball is that defense wins championships, and few teams can look up to him.

Guo Xu felt that his single-handedness against Nash was an opportunity, and he thought that he should always perform this time. As a result, Phil Jackson talked to him before the game and asked him to continue to be a marginal person, which only explained the reason.

"I talked to Ryder about letting him play with the ball in the preseason, so you continue to come off the bench today, the last game, I don't want other teams to see your quality, I will give you more opportunities to perform in the regular season."

"I completely obey the coaching staff." Guo Xu happily agreed.

Jackson nodded, very satisfied with Guo Xu's attitude.

Among the newcomers who played together in the summer, Guo Xu played the least minutes, and Pan Persie averaged more than 10 minutes per game, and also made a cameo appearance as a point guard. Jackson felt that if he was in a hurry, he might want to be traded, Guo Xu's determination was amazing, and he could be compared to him, a "Zen master".

After the start of the game, even if the OK combination was present, the Lakers quickly fell into passivity, falling behind 23-31 in the first quarter.

Nash, Dirk Nowitzki, and Kristen Leitner kept blocking and dismantling inside, and Harper was not fast enough to chase the defense, so Nash could break through with the ball and make a pull-up jump shot. If O'Neal switches guards, Nash splits the ball, and the big man can catch the ball and make a jumper.

Nash is fast, his shooting is accurate, he controls the rhythm perfectly, and the Mavericks have range on both interior lines, especially Nowitzki, and Harper can't prevent it from changing defenses.

Nowitzki is known by many as a "soft egg", but the big man at 213cm likes to float outside to shoot, like a quarterback swingman. Nowitzki doesn't take the "expert" comment and force his way to the basket to prove that he can be tough, just by blocking and catching the ball or dribbling a two-step jumper from the outside.

Nowitzki is already very powerful before he has practiced "Golden Rooster Independence", and once "Cobra" Grant goes to change guards, he will not have time to interfere with the shooting after Nowitzki, and the speed is not fast enough. O'Neill is even more incapable of defending against Nowitzki, who weighs too much to defend near the penalty area.

In addition to the pick-and-roll offense, the Mavericks' direct pass to Michael Finley is also an opportunity.

Some fans called Finley "the farmer's version of Jordan". His ball-handling breakthrough skills are a bit rough, his physical fitness is not to mention, he can turn on the spot like Jordan, pull out the step-back jumper, and have a good three-point shot.

Finley and Kobe did not suffer a loss against each other, playing back and forth, after Kobe rested, Finley had a very obvious advantage against George.

The Lakers lost the game 83-100 and ended the preseason with a four-game losing streak.

Guo Xu only played 6 minutes, scored 5 points and 2 assists, and both times singled out Nash to score. Nash couldn't defend well and played well on the offensive end, scoring 21 points and 10 assists.

Jackson only allowed the OK duo to play for another 20 minutes, and he didn't care about the preseason record. Even so, the two stars are still the Lakers' top scorers, with O'Neal scoring 20 points and 6 rebounds, and Kobe Bryant 15 points and 4 assists.

In the preseason, the Lakers won 2-5, and people saw the weaknesses of the Lakers.

Last season, Glen Rice averaged 31.6 minutes per game and contributed 15.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists. This year Rice is gone, and Ryder is clearly not replaced.

Ryder shot too hard, shooting less than 40 percent from the field in the first six games, and only in the final game did he shoot 8-of-13 and 2-of-4 from the free-throw line, scoring 18 points. He also has to thank the opposing coach Nelson Sr. for playing well, because the Mavericks played a two-guard formation for a long time, and Nash was on the court with Howard Easley, who is 188cm tall and weighs 80kg.

Let Nash often play a cameo point guard in the preseason, the old Nelson is such a "mad scientist" with such a personality, the defense is a floating cloud, and it is not an accident that he has never led the team to win a championship in his life.

All the teams were given three days off, and Guo Xu and several teammates went to visit Fisher, who had to go in order to show the team's unity.

Guo Xu assured Fisher that he would play hard, train hard, and never hold the team back. Fisher, who was in a wheelchair, was so moved on the spot that he cried as if he had been kicked by a dragon's tail......
