On the evening of the 25th, a wonderful Christmas battle was staged at the Staples Arena. The Lakers pressed their opponents to the floor to rub them. From the first quarter to the end, they always maintained a double-digit lead, and their offense cooperated with the flow of water.

The Lakers caught the Trail Blazers off guard at the beginning, and three players pulled away to attract the defense, O'Neal and Guo Xu played pick-and-roll offense in the middle.

The Trail Blazers are old opponents. Phil Jackson knows very well that Dunleavy will let the slowest center Sabonis start in the league. This veteran has the weight and strength to fight O'Neal alone. The side players are always in defense to double-team O'Neal and put a role player to shoot, which can indeed reduce O'Pang's power at low posts.

Jackson arranged tactics for Sabonis's weakness of slow change of defense. Guo Xu got rid of Stadameier's emergency stop and jumped, but Sabonis couldn't defend.

Rashid Wallace has excellent pick-and-roll defense, Guo Xu attracts defense and passes the ball. As long as the Lakers players find ways to pass the ball to the middle, O'Neal's pick-and-roll will pose a huge threat.

O'Neal who rushed up was not something Sabonis could defend. He only played for 3 minutes and then two fouls were rested. After that, O'Neal received the ball and attacked the Trail Blazers with a strong attack on the Blazers at a low post.

When the Trail Blazers sent substitute insider Kemp to fight O'Neal, the Lakers immediately changed to pick-and-roll attack, allowing Guo Xu and Kobe to rely on cover to find the fat man in the middle to find the misplaced position...

The Lakers won 116-99 in the end, and the four players in the team scored in double digits and were all 20+.

O'Neal scored 30 points, 15 rebounds and 2 assists, Kobe scored 24 points and 6 assists, Guo Xu scored 20 points and 3 assists, and Fox scored 22 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists.

Fox has always been the "x factor" for the Lakers. He is the easiest to be shorted at this point. Once he feels hot, his opponent can basically win the gun. In this game, he has made a strong appearance, made 6 of 10 shots, 4 of 7 three-pointers, and 6 of 7 free throws, with extremely high efficiency.

After the game, Guo Xu perfunctorily finished the reporter without Christmas, but just called a few times to greet friends and family, and returned to the apartment to sleep.

The next day, Guo Xu was resting at home in the morning. After lunch, he went to the Internet and felt bored. He put on his sportswear and went to the court to practice more.

Guo Xu is no longer short of money. The money he endorses for the two advertising is enough for him to spend a long time, but he is not satisfied at all. Instead, he feels very empty in his spare time. It’s just that money is not enough, he wants to be more famous.

For Guo Xu, a reborn person, it is not difficult to make money. The difficult thing is to gain both fame and fortune. He likes the pleasure of becoming famous, but doesn’t care much about money. As long as NBA stars are not mentally retarded, they can’t spend all their money, and if they make too much, they are just a number.

The most tragic thing in the world may be that they are famous but have no money. Some people make a lot of money, but they have no fame, lack a sense of existence outside, and lack a sense of accomplishment in their hearts. At most, they are an invisible rich man who has no worries about eating, drinking, having fun, and this seems meaningless.

If you want to take into account both of these aspects, it is useless to rely on luck, and it is even worse to be fooled. You must have both talent and morality. The latter is even more important.

Guo Xu's goal is to become a national idol who can influence many people, a superstar with noble interests and good character, leaving a strong mark in history. If you want to achieve this goal, you will definitely not work hard.

In this world, some people work but don’t get it, and some people get it without work. Guo Xu doesn’t want to be a fool who works but doesn’t get it, nor does he want to be a waste who doesn’t get it without work.

Christmas has just passed, and there is only one employee who is looking at the gate of the training hall, and everyone is immersed in the festive atmosphere. Only Guo Xu is here to practice football today, which makes him feel a little accomplished, as if he has worked harder than Kobe.

On December 28, the Lakers continued to win streak, defeating the Suns 115-78 away.

After two days of rest, the Lakers players' physical strength has recovered. In this case, the Suns are completely unable to compete and have entered garbage time in the first half. The bad news is that veteran Ron Harper is injured again.

As a veteran who doesn't make much move, Harper actually injured his right wrist by Mario Ellie, the Suns' 37-year-old veteran, who was a layup in an empty cut. He was so lucky. Harper shook his head and smiled bitterly when he left the court, and he couldn't accept it anymore.

Because the team led too much, Guo Xu only played for 18 minutes, made 4 of 8 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and scored 9 points and 2 assists.

Kobe played for 23 minutes, made 9 of 15 shots, 3 of 3 three-pointers, 8 of 8 free throws, and scored 29 points, 5 rebounds and 2 steals.

O'Neal played for only 30 minutes at the longest time, making 9 of 14 shots, 3 of 7 free throws, scoring 21 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks.

In the second half, "Zen Master" Jackson gave the marginal people enough time to perform. Madson, Medvedenko, George, Bowen and Pan Percy started the Suns, and even the point guard played cameo, but he didn't lose in 10 minutes, which was shocking.

This is the Suns' home court. No matter the coach, the players or the fans, they don't want to lose too ugly. Coach Scott Skells is serious about the arrangement, but the players play a mess and frequently make a fuss in the face of the Lakers' substitute defense.

The Suns' total salary this season is as high as $53.91 million, which is only slightly inferior to the Lakers. Currently, the record is only tenth in the Western Conference. Their transaction is speechless, and they have picked a bunch of garbage contracts. Gugliotta and Anfini Hardaway have two highest salaries, both high salaries and low-powered people, and Kidd's annual salary of 7.68 million is only third in the Suns.

Hardaway, the top salary, was seriously injured and reimbursed after only 4 games, averaging 9.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game. He looks like a role player with no three-pointers. He doesn't know what level he can recover after his comeback in the future. Seeing his former teammate sitting on the sidelines as an audience member in a suit, O'Neal felt very happy.

On the 30th, the Lakers defeated the Clippers 110-103 away.

The Clippers performed well in substitutes, with six players in the team scoring in double digits, and dealing with the Lakers until the last quarter. O'Neal's two low-post strong attacks and Horry's key three-pointer helped the Lakers win the game.

Guo Xu did not take advantage of the tall point guard McGinnis, and scored 10 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, with a moderate performance, with 12 points, 5 assists.

The next day, the media reported the Lakers' game. Many "experts" were optimistic that O'Neal won the regular season MVP this season. The Lakers' record led the league. O'Neal's data is the most eye-catching among all the insides. He averaged 26.4 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3 assists, 0.5 steals and 2 blocks per game, shooting percentage of 57.2%, free throw percentage of 50.8%, and efficiency first in the league.

O'Neal's data has declined compared to last season, but his efficiency has not dropped much, because he has played for a shorter time and is averaging only 35.7 minutes per game.

After reading the news, Guo Xu felt that the butterfly effect he caused was a bit big.

This season is the closest Iverson has to be successful. The regular season MVP is like a consolation prize for him. If he doesn't even have this prize, his evaluation will be lower when he retires in the future.

Currently, the 76ers have a record of 21 wins and 8 losses behind the Lakers. The NBA selection criteria are to look at the player data and team record. If the 76ers have a record of too much worse than the Lakers at the end of the season, it will be difficult for Iverson to compete with O'Neal.

In Guo Xu's previous life, even if the Lakers were injured at No. 1 this season, the scoring points were concentrated. The ok combination was absent from 8 and 14 games, and still achieved 56 wins, which was on par with the 76ers' record, slightly inferior to the Spurs, which was slightly inferior to the 58-win Spurs. Now with Guo Xu's scoring point, the Lakers' No. 1 position has become stronger. If this situation continues, it is not difficult to achieve 60+ wins.

On January 2, the Lakers will face the 76ers away.
