Guo Xu and Meghan went to the famous Sichuan restaurant "Tianfu Home" in Los Angeles and ordered a few signature dishes.

The first dish served was the couple's lung slices. When Megan heard the name of the dish, she stared at Guo Xu with a strange look. When she heard that there were chicken gizzards and beef in addition to beef, she was a little disgusting and a little scared, and her face turned worse.

After tasting a bite of the beef loaf, Megan swears. "It's so spicy... Oh, God... I want to sneeze."

Guo Xu's family runs a restaurant. He has eaten countless spicy dishes since he was a child and tasted them with relish. He didn't think it was spicy at all and exclaimed: "It's really good, authentic."

Then another dish of meat was served. Megan was disgusted with it and said he would not touch anything. "Look at this fat meat... it's all oily. How can you eat it? Why are you so hateful?"

Guo Xu said, "In China, only hot girls who are not afraid of hot can have good luck. You only have this ability to become a star in the future? Do I know if I am taking you to exercise?"

Megan clumsyly picked up a piece of pork belly with chopsticks, stared at it and looked over, and was almost cross-eyed. Finally, he gritted his teeth and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it twice, and then slapped it in the face the next second. "Oh my God, this is so delicious!"

The double-cooked pork is one of the representative dishes of Sichuan cuisine. It is full of color, fragrance and taste. It is very delicious, and Guo Xu also started to do it.

Then there was the favorite Kung Pao Chicken, Americans. Megan ate it with a spring breeze and didn’t feel it was very spicy after getting used to it. She praised: “My taste has evolved. It turns out that Sichuan cuisine is really delicious. I love this chicken so much.”

Guo Xu also ordered a fish-flavored shredded pork with rice, and did not ask for the spicy Maoxuewang or boiled fish.

He knows that Sichuan cuisine is characterized by its delicious taste, but if it is too spicy, it will be uncomfortable the next day. He will have a competition tomorrow night, but he doesn't want to affect his condition for eating it. With his eating habits, there will be no problem with eating this spicy food. He doesn't know what Megan will do tomorrow.

On the 22nd, the Lakers met the Timberwolves' challenge at home.

The Timberwolves won 7 and lost 4 at the beginning, and they were considered a strong team. The head coach was Philip Sanders.

The core "Wolf King" Kevin Garnett of the Timberwolves is a hot inside star in the league. He is very popular and is often compared with Tim Duncan of the Spurs. This season, he averaged 22 points, 11.4 rebounds, 5 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.8 assists per game, which is comprehensive and stable. He was almost the same data last season.

The second instructor of the Timberwolves is Trier Brandon, who was twice selected for the All-Star Game. He is a small guard with a height of 180cm and weighs 82 kilograms. Last season, he averaged 17.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 8.9 assists and 1.9 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 46.6%, a three-point shooting percentage of 40.2%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 89.9%.

Trier's condition declined significantly at the beginning of the season, and averaged 16+7 data and two steals per game.

For two consecutive days, the media has been promoting the match between Guo Xu and Trier. Many experts say that Trier is Guo Xu's template, and they are both small defenders who are good at combining breakthrough and segment shots.

Trier is one of the most inspiring NBA players in NBA history. When he was a child, he suffered from leg disease and his feet gradually deformed, and his legs even reached a serious deformity. His father had to take him to the hospital to tie a correction bracket and fix his legs with splints, just like caring for two small saplings. At that time, his father's biggest wish was to never let leg disease affect his son's future.

Later, no one could forget how this little boy with a splint tied to adapt to life step by step and became a basketball star. When he put aside the splint on his legs and could run forward independently, many people were moved. Sometimes strong willpower can really create miracles.

At the 1991 NBA draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers selected Trier with the 11th pick in the first round. The first player was basically big players, and the second point guard was him.

The 1995-96 season was a year when Trier broke out completely. He became the boss of the Cavaliers, averaging 19.3 points and 6.5 assists per game, with less than 2 turnovers. He was selected for the Eastern Conference All-Star team for the first time, but lost to the Knicks in the playoffs.

In the 1996-97 season, Trier continued to perform wildly, averaging 19.5 points and 6.3 assists per game. Not only did he have amazing speed and sharp breakthroughs, he also conquered everyone with an accurate mid-range jump shot and was selected as the All-Star again.

Sports Illustrated named him the best point guard in 1997. This was an era when many star point guards were leading the way, and Trier successfully occupied a place.

"In fact, those years did not make me suffer, but gave me enough time off the court to learn their respective strengths." It was this humble personality and perseverance to fight for fate that made Trier successful. In the same year, he was also selected as the NBA Sports Ethics and Fashion Award.

Guo Xu's deepest impression of Trier was that in the 1999 playoffs, he was broken through again and again by the 33-year-old point guard "Little General" Johnson of the Spurs. After several injuries, Brandon's physical fitness has declined seriously and he has no speed advantage when he was young. He has obtained good data in the Timberwolves largely because of tactical benefits, and his expertise has been fully utilized.

Guo Xu admires Trier, but he must work hard to win and strive to play beautiful data to continue to increase his popularity.

The waves of the Yangtze River push forward the waves of the past, and the new people in the world drive away the old people.

The game began after the warm-up. Lakers veteran Ron Harper suffered a shoulder injury during the confrontation and would miss at least two weeks of the game. Phil Jackson let Guo Xu start for the first time, and Pan Pessi also entered the 12-man roster.

Five Lakers: Guo Xu, Kobe, Fox, Grant, O'Neal.

The Timberwolves Five: Trier, Billups, Szebiak, Garnett, Nestrovic.

O'Neal jumped the ball and won the Lakers' attack first. Kobe received the ball and took it to the right side. Guo Xu ran to the baseline on the right to form a triangle. Kobe hung the ball to O'Neal who was behind the ball with his back at 45 degrees.

Nestrovic is a pretty good blue-collar center, and he defended himself alone. O'Neal squeezed twice and turned around and shot the ball. Under his interference, Garnett grabbed a defensive rebound.

The Timberwolves attacked, Trier and Nestrovic played pick-and-roll in the middle, attracting O'Neal to replace defense and Guo Xu to chase defense, and then divided the ball into the middle.

The reason why Trier didn't play pick-and-roll with Garnett was to remove O'Neal from the penalty area. If Grant came out to defend the pick-and-roll, his pass-through to Garnett would be like a misplaced position.

The Lakers did not give Garnett a chance to beat O'Neal one-on-one. At this time, Nestrovic's weakness was revealed. He cut the ball too slowly. After receiving the ball, he jumped up two steps to dunk. O'Neal chased and blocked it from behind. Guo Xu picked up the basketball.

When the Lakers attacked, Guo Xu passed it to Kobe first. Kobe and Grant played pick-and-roll on the left to attract Garnett to replace defense, and passed the ball to Grant outside. The latter had no chance to take action against Billups' close-fitting body, and passed it to Guo Xu who ran to 50 degrees on the right.

Under normal circumstances, Guo Xu should have given O'Neal a lob, but he did not play as the coach arranged. He caught the ball from the outside and pulled a three-pointer against Trier. Trier couldn't jump up at first, but he didn't expect Guo Xu to force his move to react half a beat slower, and he just reached out to interfere slightly.
