The Lakers' home fans stood up and applauded, many of them wore Guo Xu's No. 58 jersey. He is already a household star in Los Angeles. This Rocket-like rise speed made Kobe jealous. He became famous by winning the dunk king back then.

At this time, Kobe missed Fisher very much, so Fisher would be better. He passed the ball to him after halftime to watch the fun.

After the Lakers won the championship, Kobe was eager to get more shots, but Guo Xu often did the point guard's job and prefers to cooperate with O'Neal. Currently, Kobe averaged only 18.1 shots per game, scoring 23.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.5 steals, which is far from what he expected in the summer.

Woodson said: "Jason has started the three-pointer mode, and scored consecutive goals, and the Spurs are not allowed to let Avery defend alone."

Hovas smiled and said, "I think he will definitely score high scores today and hold the revenge of the last loss. In the last game, the Lakers might win."

The Spurs attacked, Elliott received the ball and jumped into a three-pointer from the outside and wanted to get a shot, but the iron missed.

Guo Xu dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and played pick-and-roll with O'Neal, attracting Duncan to switch defense and pass the ball to the middle. O'Neal cut and received the ball, and took the ball to the basket. He hit Robinson, who was retracing, and then threw it, scored and caused Robinson to foul.

O'Neilga also made a free throw, 20-8, Guo Xu had the second assist.

There are 7 minutes and 22 seconds left. The Lakers' shooting percentage is so high. If this continues, they will probably score more than 40 points in a single quarter. Popovich was forced to request a timeout.

O'Neal walked on the tyrant step to celebrate and was excited.

Among the four centers, O'Neal has always been hostile to David Robinson. In the 1999 season, the Lakers and the Spurs met in the Western Conference Finals. Although the general was at a disadvantage in the confrontation with O'Neal, Duncan's outstanding performance made O'Neal unable to support him and lost. Then O'Neal made a harsh statement: "David Robinson is nothing great. He relied on Duncan to win the championship."

What is the conflict between them? The answer is that in 1994, Robinson scored 71 points in his last regular season game and snatched O'Neal's scoring champion, which left a psychological shadow on the "young shark".

Popovich took Robinson as the first adjustment and replaced the short power forward Marik Ross who was 201cm tall and weighed 113 kilograms.

Last year's playoffs, Robinson had already exposed his weaknesses, with a shooting percentage of only 37.3% in four games. He pulled out to cover the ball and shot, and could not dominate the penalty area. In order to keep up with the pace of the game, Robinson chose to lose weight. This season, he is 216cm tall and weighs only 107 kilograms. It is impossible to withstand O'Neal alone.

Ross is a short and strong rebounding monster. He is steady in the lower set and is not slow when defending pick-and-roll. He is just slightly inferior in the offense. Robinson rests off the court and can lead a substitute to attack in the second quarter and withdraw the inside.

Popovich called Ross to his side and instructed: "Focus on Jason Guo. If he uses cover to get rid of it, you can change the defense immediately. Don't let him take action easily, and don't let him rush up. Change defense must be fast. The first step is to block him, Avery chases the defense and double-team him!"

Popovich can win the nickname "Popo-Zhuge Wichich" in the future. He has a very sharp vision and his on-the-spot adaptability is recognized as a strong coach. He can see that Guo Xu is the core of the Lakers' offensive at the beginning and has a very determined move. If he does not curb his performance, the Spurs will not be able to defend against the Lakers' offense.

At this time, Popovich regretted it very much. If he had known that Guo Xu was so powerful, he would not have to sack this person even if he had been in the second round of strong selection, nor would he have to be cheaper than his important competitor, the Lakers.

The Lakers did not substitute, and Jackson did not need a tactical board, but just emphasized that the players were keeping a close eye on their own.

The game continued, Duncan pulled out of the three-point line to Johnson to pick-and-roll, and received a pass near the free throw line, attracting Grant to defend, and handed the ball to Ross who ran to the left horn position from close range. Ross received the ball and shot in the mid-range shot. O'Neal came out slowly and the ball went in! 20-10.

After adjusting the lineup, the Spurs easily created a misalignment opportunity. Rose's height can play as a small forward, which is a type of miserable. It is definitely not possible for O'Neal to not come out near the penalty area, and it is also uncomfortable to defend himself.

Guo Xu dribbled the ball to the frontcourt to play pick-and-roll and was double-teamed, and the two pushed him out of the three-point line. Guo Xu wanted to pass the ball to O'Neal in the middle and had to find space, or pass a high lob. He was prone to making mistakes when Ross blocked his sight.

Guo Xu knew that in the future, the point guards with high assist mistakes in "CP3" who had higher assists and turnovers were more likely to receive high praise, so he kept seeking stability when organizing the offense and did not pass the adventure ball. He led back and used the field width to open up the space, passing it to Fox, who quickly transferred the ball to Kobe who ran to the left horn position.

Kobe received the ball with his back and turned to the bottom line, and made a 45-degree back jump shot. 22 to 10.

Kobe is the most similar player in technology to imitate Jordan. The two have similar figures. When Kobe leans back and jumps, many fans can see Jordan's shadow. The title of "Jordan's successor" is well deserved.

After losing a crushing defeat on the court, Kobe was not idle either. He practiced his shooting this morning and felt good.

The Spurs attacked, Johnson and Duncan played pick-and-roll in the middle and got rid of Guo Xu, and passed Grant's layup by speed. Unfortunately, O'Neal shrank to the basket and interfered. The ball was off. O'Neal took the rebound and passed it to Kobe.

When Kobe received the ball, he saw Guo Xu running straight through the half and completely got rid of Duncan. Duncan was injured in the meniscus last season and didn't practice much in the summer. He gained a little weight and his speed decreased compared to last season.

This was an excellent opportunity. Kobe passed the ball through the two of Anderson and Duncan with one hand. Guo Xu received the ball comfortably, without defending it from both front and back.

He took the opportunity to jump up with all his strength, and his light hands were free to dip the ball. Whether to release the basket or dunk, it made people foolishly unable to tell the difference.

24 to 10, the 13th point in the individual.

Guo Xu likes to perform and wants to score more beautiful goals, so he chose to dunk. However, even if he has practiced deliberately, he cannot compare with black players in dunking. Of course, with his height, being able to dunk is already a surprise, and Lakers fans applaud and cheer.

The Spurs attacked, Johnson and Duncan played pick-and-roll again, and Guo Xu intercepted the ball from the front when the right breakthrough was intercepted by Guo Xu. He transferred the ball to the middle. Duncan missed the mid-range shot against Grant due to his height advantage, and O'Neal grabbed the defensive rebound.

In the Lakers positional battle, Guo Xu was double-teamed on the pick-and-roll. This time he had experience and immediately passed the ball to Kobe who was receiving the support.

Kobe beat Anderson with the ball, and missed a jump shot from the three-point line. O'Neal and Duncan competed fiercely, Grant grabbed the frontcourt rebound, and beat Ross in the penalty area to score a one-handed throw. 26-10.

Popovich pinched his waist with his hands on the sidelines and frowned. After the substitution, the Spurs failed to curb the Lakers' offense. Once Duncan defended outside or was entangled by O'Neal, the Spurs would not protect the backcourt rebounds.

Woodson said: "No one expected that today would be a one-sided situation before the game. The Lakers expanded more and suppressed the Spurs. After Robinson left the court, Rose at 201cm was not tall enough, and the Spurs suffered a loss in rebounding."

Hovas commented: "The Lakers lost in the last game not because they were not strong enough, but because the players were sometimes too relaxed. If Lakers players can take every regular season seriously, it will be really difficult for other teams to compete."

Woodson nodded and said, "I feel that as long as the Lakers' core lineup remains healthy this year, there is a chance to hit the Bulls' record of 72 wins and 10 losses, it doesn't matter if there is a lack of Fisher."
