Before the game against the Wizards began, Guo Xu got two good news.

First, team doctor Gary Witty does not allow Kobe to come back, and Guo Xu can shoot more goals from the outside.

Kobe is not good at neatness. If he exercises too much, his ankle will hurt a little. Such strong support may aggravate his injury. The Lakers' current record is very stable. In an unimportant game, it is not touching that the player takes the injury to the game. This is a desperate situation.

Second, Guo Xu won the Western Conference Player of the Week for the first time in his career. The Lakers won four consecutive games, and his average data per game is more beautiful than O'Neal.

It is not easy to win the Best of the Week in the West. Before, O'Neal and Kobe were divided up. O'Neal and Kobe were the two. Occasionally, Duncan and Chris Webber grabbed one, and Garnett, Malone, Kidd and others won't win this award.

After the game started, Guo Xu played relatively constrainedly and did not take many moves, helping O'Neal create scoring opportunities.

He agreed to help O'Neal lose a game. He did what he said, and the two began to let go of the defensive end again, dealing with the second-last Wizards in the East, without any effort on the defensive end.

O'Neal played for 38 minutes, made 17 of 28 shots, made 10 of 13 free throws, scored 44 points, 20 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals and 5 blocks, and scored his first assist triple-double in his career, with 5 assists being given to Guo Xu.

Guo Xu not only can catch the ball from the outside, but also cut into the basket, and quickly shot when he received O'Neal's pass. Although he was not as crazy as he was on the court, he also scored 25 points and 6 assists.

O'Neal failed to score 50 points in his super-level free throw line. It is difficult for him to score high scores because it depends entirely on two points. This way of playing will score 60 points, and you can hit all 30 shots, or you can shoot 40 shots, with an 80% shooting percentage, and you must also perform at the free throw line.

O'Neal wasn't that poisonous, he chose to win a triple-double.

After the game, the fans were in an uproar. The Lakers lost Kobe. Not only did the Lakers win consecutively, but their data also made it so fast, and they were simply winning while playing.

One day later, the Lakers played against the Mavericks at home, Guo Xu and O'Neal continued to show their strength, combining inside and outside, winning 111-99.

Guo Xu scored 37 points and 10 assists to beat Nash, who had only 10 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists. Tyrone Lu failed to play due to injury. If he came, he would definitely receive applause from Lakers fans when he appeared.

O'Neal also performed well, with 30 points, 13 rebounds and 4 assists, and 13 free throws made 17 free throws. He was very hot in the past two games. Not only did he get a correct free throw, but he was fouled in a round when he was pushed and fouled, and he also made a long-distance hook near the free throw line.

Guo Xu beat Nash not to play with the ball, but to rely on pick-and-roll. Nash worked very hard to chase and defend, but he could not defend himself.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Chinese fans nicknamed Nash "Natura" because Nash was rejected by dozens of universities that year, and the reason was surprisingly unanimous, "Your defense is the worst of everyone I have ever seen." Due to his physical condition, Nash was almost helpless in defending the tall point guard in college. Fortunately, he grew taller and trained a little stronger later.

In fact, when entering the NBA, Nash's defense has made great progress. Otherwise, no team would dare to choose him in the first round? At least he has a good defensive attitude and will actively follow people and chase them. After pick-and-roll, he is waiting to be knocked down countless times to create offensive fouls, which shows his diligence on the defensive end.

The Mavericks' defense is bad, and they made many trades in the mid-term, making the lineup messy, and the center position is a fatal weakness. The Mavericks' center is "Big Bamboo Pole", Bradley, the power forward is Nowitzki, and the small forward is Zhu Wan Howard, all of them have won the title of "Soft Egg". The three of them have poor pick-and-roll defense ability.

If the Lakers hadn't been more relaxed in defense, the Mavericks would have to "snatch the gun" in the first quarter. The Lakers scored 42 points in the first quarter and led the Mavericks by 19 points in a single quarter. Guo Xu was too relaxed in the misplaced Bradley, which attracted the goal of resuming the defense and revitalizing the team.

O'Neal's catch in the inside was also unstoppable, and the Mavericks did not have a meat shield-shaped blue-collar work.

At this time, the Mavericks urgently need to strengthen their inside strength. Old Nelson is looking forward to Wang Zhizhi joining, but due to the system, he has to wait a little longer.

The Mavericks selected Wang Zhizhi in the second round in the 1999 draft, and his NBA journey was very unsuccessful. With the senior management of the Mavericks coming to China for many times to communicate, Wang Zhizhi was allowed to go to the NBA this year. After playing the CBA final for the team, he had been delayed for two years and had missed the golden age to improve his strength.

After six consecutive victories, the Lakers lost to the Kings 94-108 at home, and suffered an eighth defeat.

Guo Xu scored 30 points and 5 assists, O'Neal scored 31 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 blocks, and his performance was not bad. Unfortunately, the role players collectively remained silent, with a pitiful low shooting percentage, and they could not compete with the Kings who had too many points to blossom.

Fisher made 4 of 14 shots, Fox made 3 of 11 shots, and Horry made 1 of 6 shots...

The Lakers are about to start a four-game trip. Kobe chose to come back to save the game, saying that he would break the record.

Kobe showed good form as soon as he came back, breaking through, shooting, and passing the ball, and scored points away from the Pistons core Starkhouse.

Guo Xu is still in a state of courage. Pistons point guard Chucky Atkins is the point guard he prefers to play. Substitute Dana Barros is also a small guard who is 180cm tall and weighs 74 kilograms.

Guo Xu has no disadvantage in height, strength and speed. He can take the ball and shoot three-pointers from the outside, or break through with the ball and beat the opponent.

The Pistons relied on the "shark-cutting tactic" to hold on to the fourth quarter, and fell behind by 20 minutes in the last 4 minutes and entered garbage time.

Guo Xu scored 31 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists, and one man scored more than all the Pistons' substitutes.

In the next game, Guo Xu tried his best to ensure the number of shots. In the second quarter, he was in trouble with Kobe, who led the bench to play.

Jackson knew that Guo Xu wanted data, and after entering garbage time, he also asked him to take the substitute to play for a few minutes, which met his requirements.

In April, the regular season entered the final stage. The three Lakers giants started the mode of killing people with human blocks and killing Buddhas. It was like fighting against anyone with weak teams. There were always stars who stood up to score, and there was another wave of winning streak.

The Timberwolves became a blessing for Guo Xu. The Lakers played against the Timberwolves at home and away, and Guo Xu scored 33 points and 32 points respectively, finally increasing the average score to 20 points.

Whether in positional battles or counterattacks, Guo Xu has obvious advantages against veteran Trier Brandon, and his one-on-one scoring efficiency is very high.

The Timberwolves management has considered a mid-term trading deal, but unfortunately no matter how they help Brandon brush up the data, other teams are not fooled, they look down on this person with a bad defense and two-year big contract.

When facing a weak team, Brandon can play some role. When a team fights a tough battle, Brandon will be 100% defeated as long as he faces a point guard who has the ability to fight one-on-one, and he is always the weakest link in the team's defense.

On April 17, the Lakers massacred the Nuggets 118-91 at home.

Guo Xu played for 30 minutes, made 6 of 11 shots, 4 of 7 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 20 points and 5 assists. O'Neal and Kobe also played for about 30 minutes, scoring 25 points and 26 points respectively.

The Nuggets, who are already at a disadvantage, have not played in a complete lineup. Neither McDyce nor Van Exel played, nor have they ever played from the Lakers' trade to the Nuggets Isaiah Lydel. He was cut after playing 10 games. If he wanted to take revenge, the Lakers would have to wait for the next life.
