The Lakers opened the preseason against Iverson's Philadelphia 76ers.

Guo Xu was high-spirited, but he never expected that his task would be to guard the water dispenser with Medvidenko and Pan Persi.

After the start of the game, veteran Ron Harper started to defend the opponent's No. 2 position, and Kobe Bryant was in charge of defending Iverson. Guo Xu looked at coach Phil Jackson from time to time, and the "Zen master" kept his eyes closed and had no idea of substitution at all.

In the second quarter, Fisher and Ryder partnered on the outside, and Guo Xu continued to sit on the bench.

Fisher showed his most familiar style of play, dribbling the ball past half court and then waiting on the perimeter to receive it.

Ryder is responsible for attacking with the ball, scoring singles, and has a pitiful low shooting percentage. He has skills and body, but he is not good at cooperating and cannot lead the whole team.

Ryder is only 29 years old this year, and his rookie season has been great. In 1993-94, he was named to the NBA Rookie of the Year First Team and won the title of "King of Dunk" in the 1994 All-Star Slam Dunk Contest. He was the first person in NBA history to make a crotch change dunk motion.

He used to have unlimited potential, but his personality restricted his development, and now he can still quickly pull out jump shots, hold the ball and force breakthroughs to stage violent dunks, but he is going farther and farther on the road of cancer.

At this time, Ryder also realized that he played well in the training game, largely because of Guo Xu's fast forward pass, which made him rush up. Now that Fisher is slowly falling into the ground, his physical advantage is not easy to play. The funny thing is that he was dissatisfied with Guo Xu's control of the ball before.

Guo Xu only got the opportunity to play in the second half, and only played 6 minutes in total, and he was still on with the OK combination, and he could only pull away to help the star create opportunities, mainly passing, receiving and shooting. And he didn't feel good, he didn't score a point on 0-of-3 shooting.

Guo Xu had been thinking about it when he sat on the bench, he didn't know why Jackson suddenly reused Fisher and Rydell, but he didn't plan to ask. He admonished himself to be patient, and when Fisher himself fell and there was no one available in the No. 1 position, he would naturally be reused.

With the OK combination in reserve, the Lakers lost to the 76ers by 8 points.

The second game, Lakers vs Suns. Suns rookie center Chacalidis started and was abused by O'Neal in the first quarter.

Fisher exploded in the second quarter, hitting four three-pointers in a single quarter, and he played 30 minutes, scoring 18 points and four assists, and the star point guard Jason Kidd had the upper hand. Kidd shot 3-of-13 from the field and added free throws to just nine points and seven assists.

Due to Fisher's super play, the Lakers easily beat the Suns by 21 points.

In the third game, the Lakers' opponent is still the Suns.

Jackson was pleased with Fisher's performance and wanted to see his consistency and let him start.

Fisher was familiar with the triangle offense, had a good rhythm in positional battles, and made a resolute shot, hitting two three-pointers in the first quarter, and once he cut to the baseline and got a layup after O'Neal split the ball, scoring eight points.

Defensively, Fisher also played well, defending Kidd with just two points on 1-of-4 shooting.

When Fisher hit a three-point shot, Guo Xu took the lead in shouting loudly, waving a towel, and the Lakers' funny B boss O'Neal also made a fuss together, and the two of them, one big and one young, danced on the sidelines to steal the show, which was very joyful.

"Zen Master" Jackson paid attention to Guo Xu's every move, and was a little confused.

The competitors have played two games in a row, this kid is not in a hurry at all, and he is still laughing? That's too big-minded, isn't it? Does he just want to join the Lakers for a championship ring? It doesn't matter if he plays or not, he's the man who wants to be the Towel Man?

It's impossible, judging from the summer league and the Drew league, he is obviously a very expressive person......

Jackson has read countless people, and now he can't see through Guo Xu's character, no matter how smart he is, he would never have thought that Guo Xu was a reborn person and knew that Fisher would be injured.

Jackson believes that there are two possibilities, one is that Guo Xu is sincere and naïve, has noble character, and is willing to obey the coach's arrangement unconditionally, he will not be jealous of his teammates, and he will never be the person who affects the harmony of the locker room.

The second is that he has a very deep city, has a maturity beyond his age, knows how to advance by retreating, and knows what can and cannot fight.

Either way, he's a talent.

The Lakers beat the Suns 95-86, and Fisher scored 15 points and 3 assists without a single turnover, shooting 3-of-5 from three-point range. It looks like he can start and put veteran Harper on the back burner.

Kidd put on another iron show, shooting 2-of-11 from the field and 4-of-6 from the free-throw line for eight points, eight rebounds and nine assists.

After the game, the Los Angeles media began to blow Fisher, saying that he was excellent both offensively and defensively, and that he was a significant improvement from last season, suppressing Kidd in two consecutive games.

Kidd is a good playmaker, and he can control the tempo perfectly, both launching fast breaks and distributing the ball in positional battles to help his teammates score easily. However, shooting has always been Kidd's soft underbelly.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Kidd's 1,391 regular season shooting in his NBA career was only 40%; In 158 playoff games, he shot just 39.1 percent from the field.

Of the 123 players in NBA history who have played at least 1,000 career regular season games, Kidd's 40 percent shooting percentage is the second-lowest, just better than Fisher, who is at the bottom of the field; And among the 23 players who have played no less than 150 playoff games in NBA history, Kidd's 39.1% shooting percentage is the lowest!

To put it bluntly, Kidd in this period, many people can prevent it.

In four or five games against the Clippers, the Lakers lost all by small scores.

As we all know, the NBA is generally a team in a city, and some NBA teams in small cities have become the symbol of the city and the pillar of culture. But there are exceptions, the Clippers and Lakers are two teams in the same city, sharing the same arena, and it is inevitable that there will be all kinds of competition.

The "OK Combination" only played 20 minutes, but the Clippers players gave it their all and fought two preseason games. This could boost the morale of the Clippers, but their desire to steal Lakers fans is a fantasy, and their goal for the new season is to make the playoffs.

In Game 6 against the SuperSonics, Fisher continued to start, and he played well in the first half, hitting two three-pointers and two driving layups.

Fisher is also doing a good job on the defensive end, "Glove" Gary Payton has excellent height and strength in point guards, and is good at using his body to eat opponents, Fisher is the best at defending this type, and his strength is enough to resist forwards.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Fisher was often beaten by speed-oriented small guards in the latter part of his career, but at that time he was still not afraid of star point guard Deron Williams, and he could reduce Delon's efficiency through confrontation every time he was opposed.

Fisher was destined to be in the limelight in the preseason, and the opponents were all strong point guards except for Iverson. He already feels that he is in the starting position, and the more he plays, the more exciting he becomes.

With eight minutes left in the final quarter, Fisher hit his third three-pointer and scored 15 points and four assists, making him the team's third-highest scorer.

In the next round, the supersonic player missed the shot, Fisher actively retreated, jumped with all his strength to grab a backcourt rebound, and when he landed, he suddenly felt a pain in his right foot, something bad.

In the summer, his personal trainer had warned him that Fisher was too heavy and his feet were under more pressure, and that high-intensity training wasn't for him, but he was too anxious.

Some accidents in life are actually predestined.
