Chapter 164 [Away Heat, Shaq did it again]
Guo Xu knew that he was not a businessman, and even though he knew that doing something in the future would be very profitable, even if he had plenty of time, he did not spend time researching things about business or IT.
Guo Xu can't do anything like creating Facebook, Google, and making smartphones. He picked up the books on related knowledge and saw it and felt sleepy. Whoever has the ability can do it.
Change the world and improve technology by others, become an idol in sports and entertainment, and he comes.
On the 4th, the Lakers flew to Miami to check in the hotel and play against the Heat away tomorrow.
Miami is a tourist-friendly city with a temperature of 17-25 degrees in winter, attracting many people to visit. The sun, beaches and beautiful scenery make people forget the frequent snow and snow in the northern United States.
When Guo Xu was about to go to bed, O'Neal knocked on the door and wore casual clothes and suggested going to the nightclub together.
"I guess you've never been to a nightclub. I'm going to take you to see it today." O'Neal said seriously, with a serious expression like a black super special policeman who was going to team up to catch aliens.
Guo Xu happily refused. "If you don't go, I will guarantee that I will beat my opponent in the best condition tomorrow."
"It's better to relax and play. How can I not play in Miami? Besides, this is just a regular season game." O'Neal smiled lewdly: "You are a young man, you should be more passionate."
The top ten nightclubs in the world, the United States accounts for five, two of which are in Miami, but Guo Xu is completely uninterested.
"You may not believe it. I don't want to go to a nightclub because I'm too passionate and I'm crazy and even scared myself."
The Heat's point guard is famous veteran Tim Hardaway. Guo Xu wants to do his best to see how much his strength has improved. He can't wait to play the game and doesn't want to relax at all.
"Just blow, I think you just don't have the courage to go." O'Neal smiled.
"Even if I don't have the courage, I won't go no matter what you say. I'm sorry." Guo Xu smiled.
In the time loop, O'Neal is Guo Xu's number one fan. Whenever his amazing move is exposed by the media, O'Neal will quickly call and say that his full name is "Jason-Dare to Do Everything-Guo"!
Guo Xu didn't want to go to places like casinos, nightclubs, etc., and the media exposed him that it affected his image. But he did not persuade the fat man to stay in the hotel, it was his friend's freedom.
O'Neal's counterattack pressure in this game was less. The Heat's biggest star, the East's No. 1 center Alanzo Mooning, was absent. Although Brian Grant, another inside player, was also a representative of iron-blooded, he was not selected for the All-Star Game.
Mourning vs. O'Neal was a showdown worth looking forward to. As the No. 1 pick and second place in 1992, O'Neal didn't have much advantage in playing Mourning. Compared with the attacking center O'Neal, Mourning is a representative of offense and defense balance. When the two faced each other, O'Neal averaged 30+10 per game, while Mourning generally had 20+10.
Mo Ning can not only withdraw the basket from the offensive end, contribute stable mid-range shots, but also defend alone and assist in defense, and give big hats. There is no Mo Ning among the "Four Centers", but he often does not lose the upper hand against the other four people.
Mo Ning's fate turned a big turn in October 2000. He was diagnosed with kidney disease and his condition has declined sharply since then. In Guo Xu's previous life, although Mo Ning played 75 games in 2001-02, Pat Riley did not renew his contract.
The game is live broadcast nationwide, and the media publicity stunt is Kobe vs. Eddie Jones, Jason Guo vs. Hardaway.
Kobe joined the Lakers' substitute in the first two seasons. Because Jones played so well, the team traded Jones away in the shrinking season in order to focus on cultivating Kobe.
Jones is very strong. He was selected as the Lakers in the first round tenth pick in 1994. He was selected as the All-Star in 1997 and is known as Scottie Pippen's successor. His characteristics are light body, elegant playing style, tough defense, and very similar to Kobe's style, but his popularity is far less than Kobe.
Guo Xu was taken out to compare with Hardaway because Harper was injured, and he is likely to continue this game.
The next day, while other Lakers players were having lunch, O'Neal was sleeping soundly in the room. Although no one said it clearly, everyone could guess that he was going out to play.
When O'Neal showed up in the afternoon, he looked sleepy and looked like McGrady, and he looked in a bad state. Kobe was not very happy. He hated O'Neal going out to fool around away the game the most, which would increase the difficulty of the team's winning.
Before the game, the espn commentator introduced the lineups of both sides and mentioned the Lakers' last game.
Mark Woodson said: "Today, many fans are paying attention to the match between Jason Guo and Tim Hardaway. I don't know if Jason can get out of the shadow of the loss on the field. He was repaired by Iverson a bit miserable, and young players are particularly prone to psychological problems."
Guo Xu didn't even remember the specific details of that game. For him, being beaten by Iverson was two seasons ago. He was just excited today because he hadn't played a formal game for a long time and was just fighting Kobe alone. He didn't know what level of his strength he has reached.
Tom Hovas smiled and said, "Hardaway is not healthy and has a lot of experience in playing. It should not be easy for Jason Guo to gain advantage from him."
Woodson sighed: "Hardaway and Mooning won an Olympic gold medal with the United States last summer, and their good luck ended. It's a pity for the Heat this year. If Mooning didn't have kidney disease, I think they have the strength to compete for the championship. As the core players age, it will be difficult for them to win the championship if they missed this season."
After the warm-up, both sides appeared, and the Lakers five players: Guo Xu, Kobe, Fox, Horeth Grant, and O'Neal.
The Heat's five players: Hardaway, Jones, Bruce Bowen, Anthony Mason Jr., and Brian Grant.
O'Neal won the jump ball, the game began, Guo Xu's teammates were allowed to control the ball in the middle and then to observe the opponent's defensive position. Brian, the inside line, defended O'Neal alone at low post, is a match that seems to have weaknesses, and other players have average opportunities.
The Heat's wing defense is very strong, so Jackson does not allow Kobe to take the lead.
Bowen is an important reason for the Heat to play well this season. Although his data is not good, he averages 7 points and 3 rebounds per game, and his shooting percentage is less than 40%, he and Jones have one of the best wing defense abilities in the league. Heat's head coach Pat Riley is very good at arranging the defensive system.
Guo Xu played pick-and-roll with "Cobra" Horez in the middle, and 34-year-old veteran Mason quickly changed defense to block his breakthrough route. Hardaway caught up from behind to form a double-team.
As a power forward, Mason is only 201cm tall and weighs 113 kilograms. He moves fast. The pursuit of defense switching speed is a major feature of Riley's coaching.
Guo Xu did not hold the ball and made a strong breakthrough, and made a little gap. He hit the ground from the right and passed the ball to O'Neal at 45 degrees at the low post.
O'Neal faced Brian, who was 206cm tall and 115kg, attacked the basket, and used his height advantage to turn to the bottom line and throw it out of the basket, which was disturbed.
Brian has undertaken more tasks in the interior this season, averaging 15 points and 9 rebounds per game, scoring a career high, and averaging 33.8 minutes per game is also a career high. But the main reason why he can withstand this time is that Shaq did it again.
