On the evening of the 7th, the Lakers away VS Rockets, Guo Xu was a substitute as usual.

The first quarter confrontation was somewhat unexpected, the veteran Olajuwon shot 4 of 5, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 10 points, 3 rebounds and 1 steal in a single quarter, while O'Neal shot 2 of 4 with the help of the Rockets wing players, only 4 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.

Rudy Tomjanovic is the greatest coach in Rockets history, and he led the Rockets' only two championships.

In the 1995 playoffs, the Rockets only had a record of 47 wins in the regular season, but finally won the championship, which shows Tang Shuai's unafraid composure and strategizing in the overall situation.

That year, the Rockets swept the Magic 4-0 in the Finals, and O'Neal was beaten without a temper at all, and he couldn't stop "Big Dream" from scoring on the defensive end. Olajuwon averages more than 30 points per game, and Tang knows how to deal with O'Neal's team.

Olajuwon's footsteps are like Dugu Nine Swords, seeing the moves, endless, and they are all basic movements, and they are very gorgeous when they are connected in series. Now that he is old and his physical fitness has seriously declined, he still has a way to help the team with his skills and mid-range shots.

Kobe Bryant scored 9 points in a single quarter to help the Lakers tighten the score and fall behind 20-22.

The coaches of both sides had a tacit understanding not to call a timeout, nor to adjust the substitutions, and the five starters played the whole quarter.

Guo Xu appeared in the second quarter, and the other four were Ryder, George, Horry, and O'Neal.

THE CENTER OF THE ROCKETS IS JASON COLLER, WHO IS 213CM TALL AND WEIGHS 118 KILOGRAMS, AND THE OTHER FOUR ARE FRANCIS, MOBLEY, SHANTON ANDERSON, AND KENNY THOMAS.

"Zen Master" Jackson did not arrange tactics for Guo Xu, and still focused on the low post O'Neal. Waiting for O'Neal to attract the bag and divide the ball, Guo Xu received the ball and shot, and Ryder could hold the ball and rely on the strength advantage to beat Mobley, and the three formed a triangle.

Jackson's plan is to attack the opponent's weaknesses, and Coral is one of the 15 first-round rookies this year and is inexperienced; MOBLEY WAS A 12TH PICK IN THE SECOND ROUND IN '98, 193CM TALL, WEIGHED 86 KILOGRAMS, AND HAD A POOR MATCHUP.

As a result, O'Neal's state was very bad today, and the opposite Coral couldn't take advantage, and his back was not good and he squeezed into the penalty area.

The Rockets drafted center Pulzbilla for ninth place this year, and then traded for Coral on draft day to favor his defensive ability.

Coral has a sparse offense, with the advantage of excellent upper body strength and a solid lower handicap. He's a good instant force and can do the job of a meat shield, which is just right for O'Neal.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Yao Ming admired Coral when he first joined the Rockets, because his dumbbell weight made Yao Ming, who was still a rookie at the time, have the urge to "hang himself on the southeast branch".

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, Coral is now in high spirits, but according to the original historical trajectory, he will soon become a famous "glass man" in the league, seriously injured for two consecutive years, his level dropped significantly, and he left the Rockets in the 02-03 season.

Coral joined the Hawks in the 03-04 season, scoring a career-best of 11.3 points, 5.6 rebounds and 0.9 assists in 20 games, and in the 04-05 season, Coral played in 70 games and scored 5.7 points and 2.6 rebounds.

Ryder was even worse on the outside, shooting 0-of-3 from the field, and it was just a coincidence that he played well against the Clippers. He didn't guard Mobley well, and the opponent ran to catch the ball and shoot, and hit two three-pointers in a row.

Mobley averaged 15.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game last season, and is more heavily used this season and is on the rise. The No. 2 position of the Lakers has no advantage at all.

Guo Xu didn't have the ball and focused on the defensive end. He tried his best to get to Cafrancis's breakout line so that he couldn't rush up, and Francis's pull-up jumper he couldn't do, the shot was too high, and the striker was hard to block.

Guo Xu feels that Francis's style of play is a bit like "Turtle" Westbrook, and if he is more accurate, the jump shot will be a fresh trick.

Francis cuts inside without the ball, Guo Xu can't defend well, his explosiveness is too strong, and his height has an advantage, once he receives a pass near the penalty area, if O'Neill doesn't help defense, Guo Xu can only foul.

Guo Xu only played 5 minutes before being replaced, and his 2 outside shots were out of the basket, and it was very difficult for him to get rid of Francis when there was no one to cover, and his body was completely crushed.

The scores were low, and the Lakers ended the first half with a 37-43 deficit.

O'Neal and Coral both had 6 points and 2 rebounds, and surprisingly, O'Neal was not as efficient as a rookie, shooting 2-of-5 and 2-of-4 from the free-throw line.

Guo Xu didn't score, rebound, or assist, and his statistics were only two fouls.

Back in the locker room, Kobe Bryant looked at O'Neal with a little dissatisfaction, he suspected that the fat man went out to fool around again last night, and he was playing crazy, and he was soft on the court today.

O'Neal is probably the most hidden of all the nightclub kings, never being photographed by reporters in Los Angeles, and has an open girlfriend. But his teammates know that he likes to "sneak a gun" away from home and is willing to spend money.

A knife on the head of the color word, especially for athletes, once too much energy is spent on a woman, it will definitely affect the performance on the field.

The contradiction of the "OK combination" is largely due to the fact that Ao Fat was lazy in the regular season and accumulated little by little. Kobe Bryant's desire to win is strong, and he wants to win every game, even if he is serious about the team's training games.

When Kobe Bryant can't win the game with all his might, he hopes that his teammates can work as hard as he does, but now he is just a support player and can't control O'Fat. And his performance in this quarter was also terrible, shooting 1 of 3, only 2 points and 1 rebound, and 11 points in the half.

In the second half, the "OK Combination" continued to slump. In the third quarter, O'Neal shot 0-of-3 and 2-of-4 free throws to score only 2 points and 1 assist; Kobe Bryant made 1 of 4 shots, also with 2 points and 1 assist.

Robert Horry, who played 7 minutes in this quarter, made 0 of 4 shots, and his good withdrawal effect did not come into play.

Guo Xu finally opened up against Norris, the Rockets' backup point guard, who shot 3 of 4 in a single quarter and scored 6 points and 1 assist. This was a drop in the bucket for the Lakers, who scored just 15 points in the quarter.

The only good news was that the Rockets' offense was also terrible, with only Francis scoring nine points and the team scoring just 15 points in the quarter.

52-58, the two sides entered the final quarter.

"Zen Master" Jackson made another mistake, he didn't care about the sluggish state of the star, and began to play the main force and insisted on playing a triangle offensive tactic. In order to defend Francis, Jackson also let Brian Shaw play, and Guo Xu rested.

After playing 5 minutes, Jackson replaced Fox, who didn't do much on the offensive end but was excellent defensively, and replaced Ryddle. This substitution was the turning point of the game. Against Ryder, Mobley exploded, hitting two mid-range shots, a three-pointer, and two foul shots to score nine points, and the Rockets hit a wave to widen the margin to 14 points.

With 4 minutes left in the game, Jackson replaced Guo Xu and let him play blocking and dismantling with O'Neal, trying to rely on the guard to break through and recover the disadvantage, but it was too late.

Guo Xu made 1 of 3 shots after playing, and delivered two assists, both of which were for O'Neal, who was empty. If the Lakers are desperate to send a few people who can shoot the basketball, they may still have a chance to fight for three points, but Jackson requires positional battles to be the mainstay, and Guo Xu can't bring the rhythm.

At 74-84, the defending champions suffered their first defeat of the new season.
