The Lakers flew back to Los Angeles for a day to slow down, beating the underdog Grizzlies 103-76 at home.

O'Neal didn't play directly, Kobe Bryant lost two games with high scores and was questioned by the media, and he also realized that the Lakers are a stronger team when the ball is transferred. This time, he didn't have crazy ball-handling singles, and only scored 17 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.

Five Lakers scored double-doubles, and the most scorer was "Cobra" Grant, who scored 19 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists. The Lakers relied on the overall defense, and only two Grizzlies scored double-doubles in the whole team.

Guo Xu 16 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, the number of rebounds in a single game hit a career high, in order to ensure the speed of the defense, the Grizzlies almost do not grab the rebounds in the front court, Guo Xu can easily pick up the rebounds as long as he judges the direction of the ball popping up.

The most surprising was "Mad Dog" Mark Madsen, who played 18 minutes, shooting 5-of-10 and 1-of-1 from three-point range, with 11 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist. He may only shoot such a three-pointer in his life, and the offense runs out of 24 seconds, and he has no other choice to score blindly when he receives the ball in the middle.

Grizzlies star Stromeyer Swift had another terrible performance, playing 17 minutes, scoring a point on 0-of-3 shooting from Madsen defense, grabbing only two rebounds and committing only one foul. No one knows what he did on the pitch, he didn't even guard Madsen.

Grizzlies management is going crazy, Swift just runs and jumps, and it's a big hole on both ends of the floor.

After the game, people spoke highly of Guo Xu, who did a very good job in blocking and dismantling offense, not only scoring himself, but also assisting his interior teammates, helping Grant hit multiple shots, and dunking down.

The Lakers flew to Canada again to challenge the Raptors on the road.

The next day, Morris Peterson called Guo Xu to ask him to dinner.

Peterson has had a good season, is an important rotation player for the Raptors, one of the league's most consistent rookies, averaging 9 points and 3 rebounds per game, he was reluctant to come to Canada when he was drafted, and he liked it when he came.

Blue skies, crystal clear snowflakes, beautiful glaciers, and stunning auroras, who cares how cold it is? And it's not that cold in Toronto, at most minus 5 degrees today.

The two talked about topics other than basketball, and Peterson suggested that Guo Xu come to Canada to hunt together during the holidays, which was very interesting.

Hunting in Canada is an economic activity designed by hunters and run by the state.

They designed the whole country as a farm, pure natural free-range wild animals, wild animals in spring and summer to reproduce freely, due to the limited edible resources of wild animals in winter, in order to ensure that some wild animals spend the winter safely, it is necessary to artificially eliminate some, this is the part of wild animals that people legally hunt.

Hunting is a complete industrial chain here, expanding the consumer market for products including helicopters, guns and ammunition, automobiles, motorcycles, etc., which can be said to be a state management art.

Guo Xu thinks it's interesting to think about it, and he's going to try it in the offseason.

This game is another NBA focus game, broadcast live across the United States. The official propaganda Kobe Bryant VS Carter, the contest between the strongest quarterbacks in the East and West.

In terms of popularity, Vince Carter has a huge number of fans by relying on the gimmick of "the strongest dunk king in history", and he is far ahead in the All-Star voting this season, but Kobe Bryant is not bad, and his comprehensive ability is not inferior to Carter, or even stronger.

Compared to his teammates, Carter is far behind, so not many people are optimistic about the Raptors winning. O'Neal followed up with Toronto, the Lakers and Guo Xu, the best rookie, and the Raptors only have a group of blue-collar workers.

This summer, Maddy left the Raptors and joined the Magic with a high salary, and the overall strength of the Raptors weakened. Maddy can't be blamed for this, it's the Raptors coaching staff who is blind and doesn't give him the ball and a chance to perform.

Last season, Maddy averaged 15.4 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 31.2 minutes per game with the Raptors, and after joining the Magic, he averaged 26.8 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.6 assists in 40.1 minutes per game, completing the transformation from role player to All-Star.

What else can the fans say? Maddie just wanted to shine in her own way. In the 90s, all talented young people were taught by their predecessors: you need to have your own team.

The Raptors also let go of defensive expert Doug Christie and gave the Kings a hard assist.

At present, the second leader of the Raptors is blue-collar interior Antonio Davis, which is simply trying to force Carter to leave quickly.

Due to the lack of scoring points, the ball is focused on Carter, who has averaged a career-high 28 points per game since the start of the game, and his playing time, shooting percentage, and three-point shooting percentage are all career highs.

When the players came out to warm up, Guo Xu and O'Neill grabbed the scene on the sidelines and took a photo with a male fan of primary school students sitting in the front row, and the height difference between the three was very joyful.

The elementary school student was flattered, he was spotted when he took a DSLR camera to shoot Guo Xu and O'Neill from afar, and when the two came over, he thought that the other party would not allow him to take pictures and wanted to grab his camera, but with the help of other fans, the three took a few photos on the sidelines.

After returning to his own half, O'Neill asked curiously: "Why are we taking pictures with this kid?" This is the home court of the Raptors, so they should all be Raptors fans, right? ”

"I don't know if he's a Raptors fan, but his dad is a Raptors player, and I just saw them talk. Don't you think this kid looks cute? Let's take a photo first, and when I abuse his father later, he won't be so uncomfortable. Guo Xu said with a smile.

"What kind of neurotic logic are you?"

After the game started, Kobe Bryant and Carter scored in the first quarter, and O'Neal was reduced to a supporting role, with only two shots, 4 points and 2 rebounds, and he had two fouls, and he was replaced after playing 6 minutes.

Bryant shot 6-of-11 from the field in the first quarter, 1-of-2 from three-point range, and finished with 13 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist; Carter was a little less impressive, shooting 3-of-8, 1-of-3 from three-point range and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, finishing with nine points, one rebound and one assist. The Lakers lead 25-23.

O'Neal, who rested for half a quarter, and Guo Xu took the bench together, and a wave of 18-5 opened the score in more than 4 minutes, and Carter did not rest and failed to withstand the Lakers' onslaught, but only took the team's 5 points.

The Lakers' tactics are very simple, Guo Xu and Horry play blocking and dismantling in the middle, the Raptors don't defend Guo Xu from the inside and shoot directly, prevent Guo Xu from breaking through the small and big, or find a gap to pass the ball to O'Neal in the low post, and pull away to form a triangle with Fox in the bottom corner.

Guo Xu hit two three-pointers, scored twice on breakaways, made a foul on Dell Curry and hit two free throws, and scored 12 points and 4 assists in a single quarter.

The Raptors' No. 1 position is very weak, starting with veteran Mark Jackson and coming off the bench with 196CM tall Alvin Williams.

"Zen Master" arranged George to defend Alvin, Guo Xu to defend against the Raptors pitcher, 193CM tall, 86 kg weight veteran Curry, once the counterattack Lakers have an obvious advantage, O'Neal can be lazy, grab the rebound and launch a pass.

Veteran Dell Curry is 36 years old and helps his team with his shots, but he has a terrible defensive end. He was not fast, and he couldn't keep up with Guo Xu's change of direction and breakthrough, and he was abused very badly.

Yes, he is the father of Stephen Curry, the future star point guard of the Warriors who often hangs on the outside and curses for not getting FMVP. Stephen, a 12-year-old elementary school student, is sitting on the sidelines.

Guo Xu thinks it's fun to take a photo with Curry, and I don't know what he will say when he joins the NBA for the first time in the future.

It's probably "You beat my dad with a trick back then, I don't know if you can beat me now?" ”
