In the second half, Raptors head coach Lenny Wilkens didn't dare to let Dell Curry play again, he couldn't prevent Guo Xu, let alone Kobe, no matter how he played the No. 1 or No. 2 positions, it was a defensive hole.

Mark Jackson, who is 185CM tall and weighs 82 kg, can't prevent Guo Xu, he is almost 36 years old, and he still can't jump up when he encounters a block and dismantle chase.

After a few minutes, Wilkens adjusted the lineup again, reusing Peterson in the No. 2 position, and letting Alvin Williams, who is 196cm tall, defend Guo Xu, which limited his scoring. But on the other hand, Guo Xu's defense against Alvin is also very easy, this player does not shoot well, and his breakthrough ability is average, and he can't play the height advantage behind Guo Xu.

In the third quarter, the Raptors recovered a little bit of points under the leadership of Carter and Oakley.

In the final quarter, the Lakers mainly played a triangle offense, and in order to help defend O'Neal, the Raptors chose to empty role players, but Fox hit two three-pointers in a row to expand the margin to 20 points, and the game went into garbage time.

The Raptors management was doomed to disappoint this season, and they brought in a famous coach who wanted to make a big play, but the team's record was mediocre.

Just looking at the resume, Wilkens is great. In 1989, he was inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame as a player. In 1996, he was named one of the NBA's Top 50 Superstars and Top 10 Coaches. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame again as a coach in 1998.

But in fact, Wilkens' coaching level is average, and his career winning rate is just over half, and he can become the "head coach of a thousand wins" because of his long coaching career, only 1 championship and 1 best coach in 30 years. His popularity is good, his defense is acceptable, his offense is rigid, there are no surprises, and the old-school can't be old-school.

Compared with other gods in the coaching world, his winning rate is not good, after taking over the Raptors, his tactics are the 76ers' kind of superstar heads-up offense, the whole team fights defense, whether you can win depends on Carter's play.

In the end, the Lakers won 109-92, and all four of the team scored double-doubles.

Guo Xu played 28 minutes, scored 20 points, 8 assists and 2 steals, scored 15+ points in two consecutive games, and his form was back.

After the press conference, the Lakers flew non-stop to Orlando to play the Magic away. The focus of the league's publicity is the super quarterback matchup again, Kobe Bryant VS Maddy, the Lakers just cleaned up their cousin, and now they are going to play their cousin again.

O'Neal's match against his old club is no longer a big attraction, the face of the Magic team owner has long been fanned by O'Neal, and fans are tired of talking about the garbage of the Magic management.

A top-notch center in history was given to the Lakers, and the average management can't really do that. The Magic's fat man and thin man can only keep one, from the perspective of fans, it is to let one SB choose, and this must also choose O'Neal.

Although O'Neal was 23+14 in his rookie season, although O'Neal's role on the court was much greater than Hardaway's, Hardaway's "Jordan's successor" was a little more popular at that time, and the Magic management really thought that it was easier for the guard to win the championship as the boss and sell tickets better, so they chose to keep the thin man.

The Magic traded O'Neal, in fact, because Hardaway wanted to be the boss and didn't want anyone on the team to have a higher salary than him. At that time, Second Uncle Huo and Mo Ning had taken contracts of more than 100 million, and the Magic actually made an insulting offer of 69 million for 7 years to O'Neal, how could he not leave?

The two sides were divided in the third quarter, and the Magic were beaten without any power to fight back, only Maddie and Mike Miller scored double-doubles, and the Lakers scored double-doubles with five.

Guo Xu scored 19 points and 5 assists, and Darrell Armstrong, the starting point guard of the Magic 183CM, shot 2 of 14, 0 of 6 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws, and only scored 8 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists.

Against a small point guard, Guo Xu relied on close confrontation and fast pursuit to reduce the opponent's shooting rate and efficiency. But when it comes to the Lakers' defense, the media is like a negotiator, and he is said to be a leak in the team's defense, and he feels helpless about this.

The Lakers flew to Texas again, and the next 21st and 22nd were back-to-back road trips.

Back-to-back away games are a great test for the players, and the players with good physical strength are more likely to play.

In the game against the Rockets, Kobe Bryant "went down to earth", he shot 20 of 26, 1 of 1 three-pointers, 4 of 6 free throws, and efficiently cut 45 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, shooting 76.9%.

Guo Xu's performance was average, 4 of 10 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and only 11 points and 5 assists, but fortunately, this kind of play was enough to help the team win.

O'Neal's form was sluggish, and the Rockets players used the "shark slashing tactic", he shot only 7 of 22 from the free throw line, and finished with 25 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists.

Next, the Lakers defeated the Mavericks 118-103.

Outside defense is the Achilles' heel of the Mavericks, they can't guard against Kobe, and they can't limit Guo Xu. After the players pulled away in the second quarter, Guo Xu broke through the "big bamboo pole" Bradley several times by blocking and dismantling, or scored or assisted, and opened the score in a wave.

Guo Xu easily scored 18 points and 6 assists in 31 minutes, and Nash, the starting point guard of the Mavericks, scored 18 points and 8 assists, and Guo Xu did not take any advantage for the first time.

Nash claims to be 191CM, but Guo Xu is about the same height as he stands, and Nash is actually 185CM. Guo Xu has an advantage in the confrontation, Nash's strength is weak, and he belongs to the kind of person who can't push a single person with 84 kilograms of bench press.

The Mavericks are mainly positional warfare, and Nash is advancing quickly and has a wide field of vision. Before he joined the Suns, no one would have looked up to him as a supergiant, and his selection as an All-Star off the bench had a group of people who felt he was overrated.

As for Tyrone Lue, who had 3 points and 1 assist in this game, he was already a public enemy in Dallas, and he was booed by the home fans when he played today. When Guo Xu scored three points under his defense, the atmosphere was really ...... He can be called Momonosuke in Japan.

The Lakers returned to Los Angeles on a winning streak and will host old rivals the Trail Blazers at home on Christmas.

In addition to the Finals and All-Star Game, the NBA's most eye-catching game is the Christmas War, which is as hot as the Chinese Spring Festival Gala.

When a star sacrifices the joy of spending time with his family, the league, the TV station, the advertisers, and all the NBA-related peripheral industries will benefit greatly.

Only two rookies will be able to perform on this big stage this year, Guo Xu and Magic's Mike Miller, and the league has arranged for the Magic to play the Pacers on the road.

Both teams in the East have poor records, winning less than half of the time, but the league has already arranged the schedule and can't change it. David Stern's original plan was to fight last season's Eastern Conference champions led by Maddy and Hill, but the stars of both teams were injured and scrapped.

On the 24th, the Lakers players had a holiday to rest, and Guo Xu slept until noon, a little unaccustomed.

Usually Meghan Fox cooks and knocks on the bedroom door to wake him up, but this time when he came back from an away game, Megan had already gone back to Port St. Lucie to celebrate the holidays with her family.

The Christmas break in American schools is generally from December 10th to January 5th, similar to the winter vacation of Chinese students, Megan and Guo Xu talked on the phone, and they will not return to Los Angeles until after New Year's Day and New Year's Day.

Jason Statham is going to spend Christmas with his girlfriend Kylie Brooke, and Austin Nichols is going to spend Christmas with his family. Guo Xu is a little glad that there will be a game tomorrow, otherwise he would be too bored, he is really alone, looking for it, lonely, miserable and miserable.

In the afternoon, Guo Xu was bored at home and went to the arena to practice shooting.
