O'Neal's stats look okay, 24 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, but in fact, he played 45 minutes, weak from start to finish, shooting only 8 of 19, only 42.1% shooting, and 8 of 14 free throws were a little higher than usual.

Bryant played 47 minutes, shooting 7-of-16, 1-of-3 from three-point range, and without free throws, finishing with 15 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.

Guo Xu was in a slump, playing only 21 minutes, and was still the team's third scoring point, with 9 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists.

On the Rockets side, Francis and Mobley cut 20+; Olajuwon scored just two points in the last three quarters, chipped in 12 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 5 steals, and he relied on the defense around the front to cause many turnovers by Lakers players.

After the game, many hindsight pundits said the Lakers had problems on the offensive end. Others praised Rockets rookie Jason Coral for playing 13 minutes, shooting 4-of-6 from the field and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, scoring 10 points, 4 rebounds, and committing 6 fouls. Coral was a loser in defending O'Neal alone, but he was qualified as a "foul machine".

Guo Xu scored two consecutive games without a double-double, not as crazy as "Lin Crazy" in his previous life, slowing down the pace of fame.

Jeremy Lin's 10 outbreaks are too much like an illusory dream, beyond everyone's imagination, Guo Xu can't become the core of the team like him, he must play O'Neal this year, and if he wants to break out, it depends on luck and the cooperation of his teammates.

Guo Xu is not under pressure, and his popularity is steadily increasing, mainly due to the performance of the lore against Jazz. The poster of him raising his arms in celebration was particularly popular, and many said that it would be one of the top 10 classic celebrations in the NBA, and poor Arenas could only become an imitator in the future.

Guo Xu's overall performance is also the best among the rookies in this class, except for him and Jason Richardson who can get some ball possession in their respective teams, the other rookies are almost all blue-collar, role players. Richardson's Bulls record is in shambles, and he can't threaten Guo Xu's best position for the time being.

The Lakers faced the Spurs back-to-back and suffered a two-game losing streak 89-91.

O'Neal's form continued to be sluggish, and in the face of the Spurs' twin towers Duncan and Robinson's encirclement, he didn't shoot much. He shot 5-of-13 from the field and 3-of-10 from three-point range in 44 minutes, shooting less than 40% from the field and finishing with 13 points, 17 rebounds and 4 assists.

Duncan's shooting percentage was not high, 9 of 24 shots, 4 of 6 free throws, 22 points, 17 rebounds and 3 assists, but he scored two key shots in the final quarter, especially 14.4 seconds to wipe the board and score, which was the final kill for the Lakers.

"Zen Master" Jackson did not arrange point guard blocking and dismantling tactics, Guo Xu's performance in the triangle offense was average, playing 30 minutes, shooting 4 of 6, shooting 2 of 4 three-pointers, and getting 10 points, 3 assists and 1 steal.

Even so, Guo Xu overwhelmed the Spurs point guard. Avery Johnson, the "little general," had just six points and seven assists, and backup point guard Steve Kerr was even worse, scoring just one three-pointer and scoring three points.

Jackson focused the ball on Kobe Bryant, who played 46 minutes, shooting 15-of-32, 1-of-4 three-pointers, 1-of-1 free throws, and had 32 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals.

Kobe Bryant played beautifully, but unfortunately the last three-point shot was played by Sean Elliott and fell short.

In fact, Guo Xu has an advantage in the face of the Spurs point guard, especially Johnson, who is 178CM tall, but if Jackson does not nod, Guo Xu cannot grab the ball and cannot hold the ball directly.

Jackson has been "sitting in meditation" in the second half, there is basically no on-the-spot adaptation or adjustment, and it doesn't matter if the "OK combination" is in a sluggish state, the players themselves find their feelings on the field and play casually.

Jackson can certainly see that O'Neal is not in good shape and lacks fighting spirit, and he hopes that there is also someone on the team who can motivate O'Neal. Guo Xu can't do it, he has a good relationship with O'Neal in the eyes of everyone, and giving him the ball O'Neill may be more natural and lazy, the reason is to help the little brother play.

Kobe Bryant can stimulate O'Neal and stimulate his desire to perform, because neither of them likes each other's personalities, and O'Neal does not want to see Kobe Bryant in the limelight.

The Lakers returned to Los Angeles with two losses, and the schedule was good, and they rested until the 12th, when the Lakers faced the Rockets at home, and everyone could take a breath again, and then O'Neal would probably be able to get back into shape.

Guo Xu knew that O'Neal was the boss of the team and an indispensable figure for the Lakers, and he had no opinion on his laziness in the regular season. Anyway, even if the Lakers play 73 wins, the regular season MVP honor will not be their turn. He's depressed that his stats have dropped, and if he keeps up his first three games, he'll be named to the All-Star Game this year.

The next day, Guo Xu wanted to find something to relax, and when he woke up, he knocked on the opposite door, and he knew that Darrens had returned to Port St. Lucie.

"What for?" Megan Fox opened the door.

"Eat, don't you, as a maid, clean the house and cook? I'm back from away. Guo Xu said lazily.

Megan was stunned for a moment and slammed the door shut.

"Cut, it's boring." Guo Xu blew and turned back to the house.

He has been arguing with Meghan for entertainment lately, and he won't really hold on to this kid. After getting along for a while, his anger at being attacked by the sneak attack has disappeared, and he knows that Mei is not bad at all, but he has no experience with the opposite sex at that time, and he is too sensitive.

He was about to go out to eat, but Meghan came to him again and asked, "What do you want to eat?" Is there anything that can be done here? ”

"No, I didn't even buy a refrigerator, I'm kidding you, I'll go out to eat." Guo Xu smiled.

"That...... I can cook for you, you give me food every month, and then I buy something and come back to cook it? How expensive it is to go out and eat. "Meghan's smile was awkward and contrived." How much does it cost you to go out for a meal? ”

"About $30." Guo Xu is a person who loves to eat and is very particular.

He has seen a lot of news in his previous life, and many stars have maintained a good diet so that they can maintain their competitive condition for a long time.

The cost of his meals is too cheap to compare with the stars, and it is said that LeBron James spends a total of $300 a day on food. James doesn't repeat the same recipe every day, but maintains one principle: eat small, frequent meals, and refine each meal. In this way, protein and energy can be better replenished, and the nutrition is taken reasonably, and there will be no redundancy.

In short, adequate energy intake and reasonable nutrition will definitely make a player have a better career. If a player eats KFC every day, even if it gives the Lakers head coach face, it is easy to scrap it.

Megan snapped her fingers and counted it, and asked with a smile: "That's at least $60 a day, plus breakfast, it will be more than two thousand, right?" ”

Guo Xu nodded, looking at Megan's contrived smile, which was similar to the T800 played by Schwarzenegger in "Terminator Genisys...... He suddenly felt the urge to step forward and knock her head with a knife.

Conspiracy, there must be a conspiracy, this smile is simply fake, what did you learn in acting class? The teacher teaches you how to perfectly interpret the forced smile, the official smirk?

Megan took a deep breath and expressed her thoughts. "When you go to the away game, you just give me 1,500 dollars a month, and I will cook for you, breakfast, lunch and dinner, and promise to satisfy you."

“……”

Guo Xu was a little speechless, he was used to treating Meghan as a future star, but this is clearly an ordinary person, or a very poor kind, she really treats herself as a maid and starts asking for a salary?
