The Lakers flew back to Los Angeles for a day and defeated the weak Grizzlies 103 to 76 at home.

O'Neal did not play directly after taking a rest. Kobe lost two games with high scores and was questioned by the media. He also realized that when the ball was transferred, the Lakers were a stronger team. This time he did not play singles with the ball in a crazy manner, and only scored 17 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.

The Lakers scored five points in double digits, and the most scored was "Cobra" Grant, who scored 19 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists. The Lakers relied on their overall defense, and only two defended the Grizzlies in the team scored in double digits.

Guo Xu scored 16 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, and the number of rebounds in a single game hit a career high. In order to ensure the speed of returning to defense, the Grizzlies almost never grab the frontcourt rebounds in the interior. Guo Xu could easily pick up the rebound as long as he judged the direction of the ball popping out.

The most surprising thing is the "Mad Dog" Mark Madson. He played for 18 minutes, made 5 of 10 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, scored 11 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist. He may only make such a three-pointer in his life, and he used up 24 seconds of attack quickly. He had no other choice to catch the ball in the middle.

The second-place Grizzlies Stromeier Swift performed poorly again. He played for 17 minutes and made 0 of 3 shots under Madson's defense. He only grabbed two rebounds and only once. No one knew what he did on the court, and he couldn't even defend Madson.

The Grizzlies' management is almost crazy, Swift just runs around and jumps around, and there are big pits on both ends of offense and defense.

After the game, people have a high opinion of Guo Xu. He did a great job in playing pick-and-roll attacks. He not only scored by himself, but also assisted his teammates in the inside, helped Grant make more mid-range shots, and also dunked down.

The Lakers flew to Canada again to challenge the Raptors away.

The next day, Morris Peterson called Guo Xu to have a meal.

Peterson performed well this season and is an important rotation player for the Raptors. He is one of the most stable rookies in the league. He averages 9 points and 3 rebounds per game. He is unwilling to come to Canada during the draft, so he fell in love with it after he came.

With the blue sky, crystal clear snowflakes, beautiful glaciers, and beautiful aurora, who cares how cold the weather is? Moreover, Toronto is not that cold, with a maximum of minus 5 degrees Celsius today.

Both of them were talking about topics other than basketball. Peterson suggested that Guo Xu come to Canada to hunt together during the holidays, which was very interesting.

Hunting in Canada is an economic act designed by hunters and operates by the state.

They designed the country as a breeding farm, which is purely natural and free-range wild animals, and wild animals reproduce freely in spring and summer. Due to the limited edible resources of wild animals in winter, in order to ensure that some wild animals can survive the winter safely, it is necessary to eliminate some of them. This is the part of wild animals that people legally hunt.

Hunting is a complete industrial chain here, expanding the consumer market including helicopters, guns and ammunition, automobiles, motorcycles and other products. It can be said that this is a national management art.

Guo Xu thought about it and found it very interesting, so he was going to try it out during the offseason.

This game is the focus of the NBA again, live broadcast across the United States. The official promotes the competition between Kobe Bryant vs. Carter, the strongest point guards in the east and west.

In terms of popularity, Vince Carter has a lot of fans with the gimmick of "the strongest dunk king in history". He is far ahead in the All-Star voting this season, but Kobe is not bad either, and his comprehensive ability is not inferior to Carter, or even stronger.

Carter is far behind his teammates, so not many people are optimistic about the Raptors winning. O'Neal took a break and followed him to Toronto, the Lakers and Guo Xu, the best rookie, and the Raptors only have a group of blue-collar workers.

This summer, McGrady left the Raptors and joined the Magic with a high salary. The overall strength of the Raptors has weakened. This cannot be blamed for McGrady, because the Raptors coaching staff is blind and does not give him the ball or the opportunity to perform.

Last season, McGrady averaged 31.2 minutes per game with the Raptors, scoring 15.4 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists; after joining the Magic, he averaged 40.1 minutes per game, scoring 26.8 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.6 assists, completing the transformation from a role player to an All-Star.

What else can fans say? McGrady just wants to shine the whole audience in his own way. In the 1990s, all talented young people would receive the teachings of their predecessors: You need to have your own team.

The Raptors also let go of defensive expert Doug Christie and assisted the Kings hard.

Currently, the second leader of the Raptors is blue-collar insider Antonio Davis, so Carter is trying to force him to leave quickly.

Due to the lack of scoring points, the ball is concentrated on Carter. Since the start of the game, he averaged 28 points per game and set a career high. His playing time, shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage are all career highs.

When the players appeared to warm up, Guo Xu and O'Neal stole the spotlight on the sidelines and took a photo with a male elementary school fan sitting in the front row. The height difference between the three was very funny.

The primary school student was flattered. He was found when he was taking a SLR camera and photographing Guo Xu and O'Neal from a distance. When the two walked over, he thought that the other party would not allow him to take pictures and wanted to steal his camera. As a result, with the help of other fans, the three of them took a few photos on the sidelines.

After returning to the half, O'Neal asked curiously: "Why do we take a photo with this kid? This is the Raptors' home court, so they should be all Raptors fans?"

"I don't know if he is a Raptors fan, but his dad is a Raptors player. I just saw them talking. Don't you think this kid looks cute? Let's take a photo together, and when I abuse his dad later, he won't feel so uncomfortable." Guo Xu smiled.

"What kind of psychologic logic are you?"

After the game started, Kobe and Carter scored in the first quarter, and O'Neal became supporting roles. He only made two moves, scored 4 points and 2 rebounds, and he had two fouls and was replaced after 6 minutes.

Kobe made 6 of 11 shots in a single quarter, 1 of 2 three-pointers, scored 13 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist; Carter performed slightly inferiorly, made 3 of 8 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 9 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist. The Lakers led 25-23.

O'Neal and Guo Xu, who had been resting for half a quarter, led the substitute together, and opened the score 18-5 in more than 4 minutes. Carter failed to withstand the Lakers' crazy attack without resting, but only won 5 points for the team.

The Lakers' tactics are very simple. Guo Xu and Horry play pick-and-roll in the middle. The Raptors are not guarded from inside, Guo Xu makes a direct shot, and defends it. Guo Xu breaks through and plays big, or finds a gap to pass O'Neal at the low post, pulling apart to form a triangle with Fox in the bottom corner.

Guo Xu made two three-pointers, scored two breakthroughs, and once made Dell Curry fouls and made two free throws, with 12 points and 4 assists in a single quarter.

The Raptors' No. 1 position is very weak, starting with veteran Mark Jackson, and substitute Alvin Williams, who is 196cm tall.

The "Zen Master" arranged for George to defend Alvin and Guo Xu to defend against the Raptors pitcher. The veteran Curry, who is 193cm tall and weighs 86 kilograms, once the Lakers have a clear advantage, O'Neal can be lazy and grab the rebound and start a pass.

Veteran Dell Curry is 36 years old this year and helps the team with shooting. He performs poorly on the defensive end. He is not fast and cannot keep up with Guo Xu's change of direction and breakthrough, and is very abused.

Yes, he is the father of the Warriors star point guard Stephen Curry who often cheats on the outside and curses him in the middle of the FMVP. Stephen, a 12-year-old real elementary school student, is sitting on the sidelines now.

Guo Xu thought taking a photo with Curry is fun, and I don’t know what he will say when he joins the NBA for the first time in the future.
