O'Neal's data looks OK, with 24 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals. In fact, he played for 45 minutes and was weak from beginning to end. He made only 8 of 19 shots, with only 42.1% shooting percentage, and 8 of 14 shots were higher than usual.

Kobe played 47 minutes, made 7 of 16 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, no free throws, and scored 15 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.

Guo Xu was in a sluggish state and played for only 21 minutes. He was still the team's third scoring point, with 9 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists.

On the Rockets' side, Francis and Mobri scored 20+; Olajuwon scored only two points in the last three quarters, scoring 12 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 5 steals. He relied on the front defense to cause many mistakes from the Lakers players.

After the game, many experts from Zhuge Liang said that the Lakers had problems with the offensive end. Some people praised Rockets rookie Jason Coral, who played for 13 minutes, made 4 of 6 shots, made 2 of 2 free throws, scored 10 points and 4 rebounds, and left the court with 6 fouls. Coral was at a loss to defend O'Neal alone, but he was very qualified as a "foul machine".

Guo Xu scored in two consecutive games but failed to double the score, which was not as crazy as "Lin Crazy" in his previous life, slowing down the pace of fame.

Jeremy Lin's 10 games broke out are too much like an illusory dream, beyond everyone's imagination. Guo Xu cannot become the core of the team like him. He must play support for O'Neal this year. If you want to break out, it depends on luck and the cooperation of his teammates.

Guo Xu was not under pressure. His popularity was increasing steadily, mainly due to the performance of the game where he defeated the Jazz. The poster of his celebrating with his arms raised was very popular. Many people said that this would be one of the top ten classic celebration moves in the NBA. Poor Arenas can only become an imitator in the future.

Guo Xu's overall performance is also the best among the rookies of this year. Except for him and Jason Richardson who can get some ball rights in their respective teams, almost all other rookies are blue-collar and role players. Richardson's Bulls' record is a mess, and he cannot threaten Guo Xu's best position for the time being.

The Lakers faced the Spurs back-to-back, 89-91 and suffered two consecutive losses.

O'Neal's condition continued to be sluggish. Facing the Spurs' double tower Duncan, Robinson's siege did not make much. He made 5 of 13 shots in 44 minutes, made 3 of 10 three-pointers, and made less than 40% of the shooting percentage in both events, scoring 13 points, 17 rebounds and 4 assists.

Duncan's shooting percentage was not high, making 9 of 24 shots, 4 of 6 free throws, scoring 22 points, 17 rebounds and 3 assists, but he scored two key goals in the last quarter, especially scoring mid-range shots in 14.4 seconds, which was the perfect winner for the Lakers.

"Zen Master" Jackson did not arrange the point guard pick-and-roll tactics. Guo Xu performed averagely in the triangular offense. He played for 30 minutes, made 4 of 6 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, scored 10 points, 3 assists and 1 steal.

Even so, Guo Xu overwhelmed the Spurs point guard. "Little General" Avery Johnson scored only 6 points and 7 assists, while substitute point guard Steve Cole was even worse, scoring only one three-pointer and scoring 3 points.

Jackson focused all the ball on Kobe. Kobe played for 46 minutes, made 15 of 32 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers, 1 of 1 free throw, and scored 32 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals.

Kobe played beautifully, but unfortunately, he scored three-pointers in the last attack and failed to hit the iron under Sean Elliott's defense.

In fact, Guo Xu has an advantage against the Spurs point guard, especially Johnson is 178cm tall on the floor, but if Jackson doesn't nod, Guo Xu can't grab the ball and fight directly with the ball.

Jackson kept "sitting in the middle" in the second half, responding to changes on the spot, and there was basically no adjustments. It doesn't matter if the "ok combination" state is sluggish. The players themselves find their own feelings on the court and play casually.

Of course Jackson could see that O'Neal was in poor form and lacked fighting spirit. He hoped that there would be someone in the team who could stimulate O'Neal. Guo Xu was not good. Everyone saw that he had a good relationship with O'Neal. It might be more natural for O'Neal to be lazy, because he was helping the little brother play.

Kobe can stimulate O'Neal and stimulate his desire to perform, because neither of them like each other's personality, and O'Neal is unwilling to watch Kobe show off.

The Lakers returned to Los Angeles with two losses. The schedule was good and they rested until the 12th. The Lakers played against the Rockets at home. Everyone can take a breather. O'Neal will probably get back in shape by then.

Guo Xu knew that O'Neal was the boss of the team and an indispensable figure for the Lakers, so he had no objection to him being lazy in the regular season. Anyway, even if the Lakers won 73, it would not be his turn to be a regular season MVP honor. What he was depressed was that his data had dropped. If he maintained his first three games, he would be selected for the All-Star Game this year.

The next day, Guo Xu wanted to find something to relax. After waking up, he went to knock on the door opposite. He knew that Darrens had returned to Port St. Lucie.

"What are you doing?" Megan Fox opened the door.

"Eat, as a maid, don't you clean the house or cook? I'm back from the away game." Guo Xu said languidly.

Megan was stunned for a moment and slammed the door.

"Tsk, it's boring." Guo Xu blew and turned back to the room.

He recently regarded quarrel with Meghan as entertainment and would not really hold on to this child. After a while, his anger from being attacked was gone. He knew that Mei was not bad at all, but he had no experience with the opposite sex at that time and was too sensitive.

He was about to go out for dinner, but Megan came again and asked, "What do you want to eat? Is there anything here to do?"

"No, I didn't even buy a refrigerator. I'm kidding you, I'll go out to eat." Guo Xu said with a smile.

"That... I can cook for you. You give me food expenses every month, and then how about I come back to buy things? How expensive is it to go out to eat." Megan's smile was awkward and artificial. "How much does it cost to go out to eat a meal?"

"It's about $30." Guo Xu is a person who loves food and is very particular.

He has seen a lot of news in his previous life, and many stars have maintained a good diet so that they can maintain a competitive state for a long time.

His consumption of food is too cheaper than that of the stars. It is said that LeBron James spends a total of $300 on food every day. James will not repeat the same recipe every day, but just maintain a principle: eat less and eat more meals, and refine each meal. This can better supplement protein and energy, and eat nutrition reasonably without any redundancy.

In short, sufficient energy intake and reasonable nutritional combination will definitely give players a better career. If a player eats KFC every day, even if it gives the Lakers head coach face, it will be easily ruined.

Megan calculated by fingers and asked with a smile: "That's at least $60 a day, plus breakfast will be more than two thousand, right?"

Guo Xu nodded, looking at Meghan's artificial smile, which looked like Schwarzenegger's t800 in "Terminator Genesis"... He suddenly had the urge to step forward and knock on her forehead with a knife.

There must be a conspiracy. This smile is simply unsuccessful. What did you learn in the performance class? The teacher teaches you how to perfectly interpret a forced smile. Is the official fake smile?

Megan took a deep breath and expressed his thoughts. "It doesn't count when you go away. You just need to give me 1,500 dollars a month, and I will cook for you, including three meals in the morning, noon and evening, and it will ensure that you are satisfied."
