On November 24, the Lakers beat the Warriors 117-91 at home.

Last season, the Lakers won 67 wins in the regular season. The attack power of the second team this season has increased, and they have become more aggressive in their abuse. They are basically one-sided against teams outside the playoffs.

The team will win easily, and garbage time will enter the final quarter. The core can "check in and get off work" in advance, thereby reducing the chance of fatigue and injury, forming a virtuous cycle. The victory has been decided, and even Phil Jackson, who likes to use the main force, can only replace the core with the rest.

Kobe showed his advantage against Larry Hughes, playing in 30 minutes, making 13 of 19 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, 3 free throws, and scoring 31 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists.

O'Neal played for 31 minutes, made 7 of 11 shots, 1 of 4 free throws, scoring 15 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists and 6 blocks.

Even though O'Pig's scored not much, he still made Warriors center Eric Danpier's external lips bleed, and his inner heart, liver, spleen and lungs hurt. Danpier played for 26 minutes, made 1 of 9 shots, scored 4 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 fouls. In one round, he was slapped by O'Neal for two consecutive blocks, and even forgot to return to defense.

The future "Second Center in the West" is still just a low-key blue-collar worker, and he doesn't even dare to breathe when facing O'Neal.

It is very enjoyable to partner with stars. Sometimes you just need to watch their performances. Guo Xu returns to the bench lineup and leads his teammates in the second quarter to be responsible for the main attack.

He also has an advantage in playing against Warriors point guard Bob Sulla with flexibility. He played in 25 minutes, made 5 of 8 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 16 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists.

On November 27, the Lakers beat the Clippers with 14 points away.

This is a slow-paced positional battle. Guo Xu only played for 24 minutes, was troubled by fouls and had a low shooting percentage, made 3 of 10 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and only scored 9 points and 2 assists.

The match against Guo Xu is 193cm double-athlete defender Jeff McGinnis, who scored 20 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists.

One thing is defeated by another. Guo Xu can take advantage of several star defenders and will also suffer losses from ordinary double-energy guards. Harper is more suitable to deal with McGinnis, and this time the "weak team Jordan" was injured.

On the 28th, he played back to back against the Pacers. The "ok combination" was as strong as ever. Guo Xu also returned to his brave state. He played for 35 minutes, made 8 of 13 shots, made 4 of 6 three-pointers, made 1 of 2 free throws, scored 21 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal.

Facing the Pacers starting point guard, Travis Best, who is 180cm tall, Guo Xu steadily gained the upper hand, with the latter having only 8 points and 6 assists.

Guo Xu was very lucky. Six rebounds in a single game were a career high and they were all picked up.

After the game, Guo Xu also received good news. Hapi agreed to another commercial endorsement and just waited for him to return to Los Angeles to sign a contract.

As the season deepened, Guo Xu's net worth became higher and higher. Hapi had guessed this long ago and delayed it until the All-Star voting began this season before accepting him as the endorsement.

The new endorsement is Coca-Cola's "sports beverage powerade". After the negotiations, the merchant was willing to pay $3 million to ask Guo Xu to endorse him for two years. He only had to drink the beverages provided by the merchant on the sidelines and shoot two commercials.

The price is very fair. Guo Xu is not an All-Star yet. It is impossible to endorse Sprite at a high price like Kobe. He only signs a short contract, and the price of the contract can be increased in two years.

The main ingredients of powerade are sugar, a variety of electrolytes and antioxidants, which can supplement the nutrients lost during exercise, play a role in maintaining, improving exercise ability, and accelerating fatigue elimination after exercise. There are tropical fruit flavors, lemon grapefruit flavor and other flavors. Guo Xu has drunk it and feels good. Even if he doesn't like drinking it, he will not give up the opportunity to endorse. He has no grudge against money.

Guo Xu eats meat, and Ha Pi has become more developed when drinking soup. He can get a 12% commission when he endorses his business, and he will earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. If Guo Xu is selected as an All-Star in the future, his annual salary of one million is not a dream.

This season, Guo Xu has the opportunity to be selected as the All-Star, and has been reported by many media.

The results of the All-Star voting in the first week were released. Guo Xu led the Kings in the Western Conference defender selection, Gary Payton of the Supersonics, and Steve Francis of the Rockets ranked third, second only to teammates Kobe and Suns core Kidd.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Bucks' Brandon Jennings scored 55 points in the rookie season and was not as popular as he was. The star in the division could not be ranked in the top ten defenders. This is the difference between playing in Milwaukee and playing in Los Angeles.

Guo Xu's exposure rate is too high. Basketball fans around the world basically know that there is such a person. Fans like to watch the story of the counterattack of the Diansi. Everyone is happy to see the strong rise of the last rookie. Moreover, China's Internet development is slower than that of the United States. Not many Chinese fans participate in the NBA voting, and his votes are not made.

People are afraid of becoming famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Guo Xu becomes famous too quickly and easily arouses some people's disgust, including his opponent in the next game, supersonic star point guard Gary Payton.

Payton was the Western Conference All-Star starter in the 1997 and 98 season, but his popularity was ranked third in the Western Conference defender last season, and only 10,000 more votes than Jason Williams.

Payton has lost much less votes than Guo Xu in the first week of the season, even Williams, who averaged less than 10 points per game this season, and his popularity ranks fifth in the Western Conference defender.

Why are those two young men who are obviously inferior to him ranked first? Payton couldn't bear it and felt that he was about to explode. He was still at the peak and had the best data in his career in the past two seasons, so why didn't anyone pay attention?

As we all know, Payton is a person with strong self-esteem and is indeed powerful. Before, Kidd and Kobe were both his younger brothers.

Kidd is a little brother Payton knew in Oakland. When they were young, they played streetball together. The two were similar in style. Kidd learned a lot from Payton; Kobe asked Payton for advice on defense, but at first Payton refused, but later he was forced to accept it by Kobe.

The cruel reality gave Payton a slap in the face. Even though he had the most beautiful data, averaging 23 points, 4.6 rebounds, 8 assists and 1.6 steals per game, the two were more famous than him.

Of course, it is common for Payton to be slapped in the face because he has a big mouth without any hesitation. In a preseason game in 1990, he was just the second-place rookie of the Supersonics and dared to underestimate Jordan, who had won three consecutive scoring titles.

At that time, he said confidently: "I don't care who Michael Jordan is. Well, he played very well, but he hasn't reached the point where he can't defend himself."?

Payton scored 19 points in that preseason game, and Jordan sat more on the court. Whenever Payton scored, he would run to Jordan and stare at him. At that time, he felt that he was no match for him.

After that, in the first regular season game between the Bulls and the Supersonics, Jordan refused to shake hands with Payton and said loudly: "Leave this rookie to me." Payton was troubled by fouls without much time. The coach replaced him and almost never played again. He played for about seven or eight minutes without scoring, while Jordan scored 33 points.

At the end of the game, Jordan walked to the supersonic bench and looked at Payton and said, "Is this what you bragged in the preseason? Welcome to the NBA, boy." In the end, the Bulls won the game 116-95.
