Chapter 187 [The Huns are not destroyed, why are they home]

On March 11, the Lakers lost the game and the record was terminated in a 28-game winning streak. What made the fans depressed was that they did not lose to the strong team, but to the Supersonics led by Payton at home, with a score of 105 to 109.

The Supersonics currently have a winning rate of less than half, ranking ninth in the Western Conference, and the Lakers' lineup is not smooth. Luck won't always favor the Lakers. Kobe sprained his ankle and returned to the locker room after only 5 minutes of this game.

After leveling up, Guo Xu still won't have the upper hand against Payton. Payton's defense is too outstanding and he can also be hard on the offensive end. Guo Xu annoyed him the most.

When a 180cm person encounters a 193cm person, he can only try to disturb the opponent's offensive rhythm with small movements. If the opponent is good at turning and jumping, then he can only pray that he will not enter and cannot even close his eyes.

Fortunately, even in 2018, there was no abnormality in the league who could turn around and jump shots from outside the three-point line. As long as there was no such a football king, his defensive efficiency would not be too low. Payton mainly scored two points, made 20 shots in a game, and even scored 60% of the shooting percentage could not get many points.

Payton scored 24 points, 5 rebounds and 11 assists, leading the Supersonics team to score in double digits, with three players 20+.

Rashad Lewis performed very well, making 7 of 11 shots, 5 of 7 three-pointers, 2 of 4 free throws, scoring 21 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals, and hit Fox.

Substitute Brent Barry is also a hot player, making 6 of 10 shots, 4 of 6 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 20 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.

Guo Xu missed the accuracy of the outside, made 1 of 6 shots, and relied on a pick-and-roll breakthrough to score 18 points and 6 assists in the game. The Lakers team made 4 of 22 three-pointers, which is not a normal performance.

After the game, people are still optimistic about the Lakers' record of impact, which is only their 7th loss this season, and after the game, they only lost this game. The Lakers lead the league with a record of 55 wins and 7 losses, and there are only 20 games left.

All Lakers players benefited a lot from a long winning streak, and their names will be remembered in NBA history.

Guo Xu's commercial value has risen again, and his No. 58 jersey was very popular, and sales exceeded O'Neal last month.

In an interview, Guo Xu was not surprised when he heard the sales figures of the jerseys and said with a smile: "Isn't this very normal? American basketball fans have already bought Shakel's jerseys. Do you have to buy a lot of pieces in a row for collection?"

His answers were both humorous and modest, which made the reporters unable to grasp the handle at all, and O'Neal couldn't stop laughing.

The sales of Chevrolet Camaro sports car endorsed by Guo Xu have also increased a lot. In the past, few people chose yellow, but now more people are driving the "Hornets". Guo Xu's sentence in an interview, "This is the color of the Lakers", has won the approval of many fans.

Other Lakers stars at most wear yellow jerseys or pairs of yellow shoes during games. People like Guo Xu who even match the colors of cars with the team are the first.

In this case, Guo Xu's agent Hapi Watles rejected all commercial endorsements and made it clear that he would not accept any advertisements this year and would wait until the summer season ended.

On the 12th, the Lakers team had a vacation and had no training. The bad news was that although Kobe was not seriously injured after the inspection, he would be out for one to two weeks.

Jackson believes that the players are nervous and need to relax. Before the disbandment yesterday, he suggested: "It is best for everyone to go out for a walk and participate in entertainment activities that do not require physical strength. I need you to forget about breaking the record and keep a normal mind."

Previously, the Bulls were led by Jackson in 72 wins and 10 losses. He knew very well what the key to breaking the record was. This not only requires the stars to perform well and take responsibility, but also the role players must dare to take action and stand up at some moments.

The role players dare not play against weaker defenses, pass the ball to the stars again and again, or fail to score goals in an open position, which is very harmful to morale. If the Lakers character players play smoothly, they can often lock in the victory in one wave.

At this time, if coaches such as Larry Brown and Pat Riley lead the team, they will put pressure on the players and arrange more training. Jackson will relieve the pressure and tell the players that "you are very strong" and then ignore it.

In the morning, Guo Xu got up and asked Meghan to go to the supermarket to buy things. When he was playing at home, the two of them had dinner together every day, and the refrigerator stock was quickly empty.

"Buy more buckets of Haagen-Dazs ice cream today? I promise not to eat more." Megan said with a smile.

"That's strange. Every time I come back from the away game, I never see the rest." Guo Xu bounced her forehead with his finger.

Megan immediately fought back, kicked Guo Xu's calf, and turned around and ran away. As soon as the two of them were playing, they were reporters and videographers came up to interview.

"Jason, is this Miss Fox your girlfriend?" asked the blonde reporter excitedly, not knowing how long it had been waiting here.

Guo Xu smiled slightly and replied without thinking: "No, we are just ordinary friends and neighbors. My apartment was found by the actor's friend Austin Nichos, and Megan and Austin have acted in the movie together."

He knew that as his fame increased, the two began to rumor about it, and someone had discussed it online.

The two of them were taken on the street many times, and the photos were posted online. There was a photo of Meghan holding his arm and his attitude was intimate.

Meghan was very happy that day. The crew of the film "Fall in Love with You in Time and Space" asked her to play a supporting role. Although there were only two simple lines, it was enough for her to be excited because she could film with Hugh Jackman and Meg Ryan.

The female reporter asked: "But she is holding you in the photos online. You have a good relationship. Many people on the Internet say that you rejected Cameron Diaz for her."

Guo Xu took a deep breath and said, "Cameron and I are just fans of each other and have never met each other. The sister is just having fun with me. She is busy with work. We have a good relationship, but we are really not a couple. I actually deliberately helped her hype it up."

After saying that, Guo Xu gestded on his forearm. "We have an agreement that she can touch the distance between my arm, so that someone will discuss the little actor on the Internet, which is conducive to the development of her acting career. You can't touch it any further. If you cross the line, her mother should come to me, she lives with her mother."

The female reporter was disappointed. There was news online that Meghan was only 15 years old. If the two were lovers, it would be big news, and it would be boring if the neighbors were just uninteresting.

"Then what are you doing?"

"Go out to buy vegetables, Austin and his friends come over later. Today I'm on holiday, everyone gets together." Guo Xu paused and said seriously: "I want to win the championship first and then consider finding a girlfriend. I often have to go to the stadium to practice more, and I also have to fly and play away games. I really don't have time to dating, and I'm not satisfied with my strength."

Seeing Guo Xu's expression "Why did the Huns do their best?", the female reporter was speechless and had to let go.

After the two got into the car, Megan, who had been standing aside as a vase, whispered: "Do you hate me holding your arm?"

"It's really annoying outside. If you like to take it, go home and talk about it. Do you know if the reporter will write randomly?" Guo Xu said with a smile.

"Tsk, who likes to hold you?" Megan blinked slyly. "Don't worry, you and Austin are the same thing I won't tell the media. Do you really want to call him at noon?"

"If you don't call, let's have dinner together, he's busy."
