On May 5, the Lakers will play against the Mavericks at home.

After the player appeared, Guo Xu took the initiative to greet Wang Zhizhi and had a friendly conversation in Mandarin.

"Dazhi, leave a phone number. If you need consultation or help in the United States, contact me and I can help you avoid detours."

Wang Zhizhi was flattered and hurriedly said his phone number.

Guo Xu recorded the number in his notebook, saying that he would call him after the game, and then encouraged him: "You have to practice English well so that you can integrate into the team faster. You have good offense and strengthen your defense. Practice more pick-and-roll defense, otherwise you will not be able to gain a foothold in the NBA. If you have something to call, leave the number to let you play. Don't be polite."

"Okay, thank you." Wang Zhizhi smiled a little restrained.

As the first pioneer in China to join the NBA, how Wang Zhizhi adapts to American culture, how to balance relationships in all aspects, and how to adapt to the rhythm of the game are far more difficult than future generations.

Not just basketball, the first person who has left China in every event is not well adapted, such as the Dakar Rally, UF unlimited fighting, because they have no resources to use and no friends to help, so they can only make progress by fumble on their own.

Now, Guo Xu, who has only met once, expressed his willingness to help him. Wang Zhizhi felt like he was dreaming and felt warm in his heart.

He is a star in the country. After joining the NBA to play for the Mavericks, he found that his strength is nothing special here.

Who is Guo Xu? Although he was not selected for the All-Star Game this year, he is already a recognized point guard star and has been the best rookie this season. Guo Xu has no airs when talking to him and is willing to take the initiative to make friends with him. This has improved his confidence, and it seems that it is not that scary to go out on the NBA alone.

Guo Xu knew that the fate of some people was easily changed, and Wang Zhizhi was one of them. He only needed to help Wang Zhizhi with one move to indirectly help the Chinese national team. If Wang Zhizhi participated in the Olympics in 2004, the Chinese team would definitely be stronger.

Guo Xu is willing to do such a kind of good deed that is just a simple task, and he can also gain the favor of Chinese fans.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Wang Zhizhi did not represent the Chinese men's basketball team in the Asian Games in 2002. The Chinese team was reversed by the South Korean team and lost the championship. After that, Wang Zhizhi was in trouble.

The relevant "leaders" were so angry that they banned Wang Zhizhi completely. During that period, fans could not know any news about Wang Zhizhi in the national media. What's even more exaggerated is that whenever Wang Zhizhi's game is broadcast, as long as he appears on the bench, the TV station will use a reasonable face to cover the entire TV screen, no matter how many inches your TV is...

Wang Zhizhi caused such a big trouble just to compete in the summer league. What is there to play at that level? Guo Xu will definitely have to mention him.

After the game started, Wang Zhizhi, who was on the sidelines, quickly figured out why Guo Xu advised him to practice pick-and-roll defense. If a big player cannot switch to the defender, he will become a colander on the defensive end.

"Big Bamboo Pole" Bradley played for 3 minutes and then the two offensives fell off. The Lakers made a move to pick and roll in the middle, and Guo Xu broke through the ball without discussing it. Guo Xu passed through the crotch and accelerated in a direction. Bradley was easily removed. When he turned around, Guo Xu made a layup.

Bradley, who is 229cm tall, plays as the center because there is no one available to the Mavericks, so he can no longer keep up with the pace of the game.

The Mavericks are eager to sign Wang Zhizhi in the last six games of the regular season in order to strengthen the depth of the inside and especially strengthen the defense. Unfortunately, Wang Zhizhi is a player with strong offense and weak defense. He can only serve as a substitute for Nowitzki in the team. He can't stand the center and can easily be beaten by his opponents singles.

After Bradley left the field, the Mavericks' two inside players were Nowitzki and Juwan Howard. Their single defense against O'Neal was like an egg hitting a stone.

Mavericks coach Nelson has always looked down on the blue-collar center with a meat shield. He likes big men who can shoot, but a team does not have an excellent blue-collar worker, and no matter how good the offense is, it is impossible to win.

Old Nelson is known as the "crazy scientist", and he feels a little disgusted with fireworks and even forgets some common sense.

O'Neal fought against Nowitzki in a single-handed manner. The "German Chariot" has not been selected for the All-Star yet and is recognized as a soft ball in the league. He was not strong enough for a foul and was knocked to the ground by dunk. The second time he finally fouled O'Neal to the free throw line.

During the dead ball, Nelson decided to replace Edondo Nahura with O'Neal, a 203cm tall and 109kg striker, a rookie with a 9 pick in the second round in 2000. He averaged 10.8 minutes per game, 3.3 points and 2.4 rebounds per game this season.

Old Nelson said seriously: "Child, I see that you are a skeleton-like defensive Wizards in a thousand. Defensive center O'Neal depends on you."

English is profound and profound, this is not what Old Nelson said, but Nahura heard almost that meaning.

What kind of experience is this 203cm rookie striker, who is mainly defending Ao Pang, who is 216cm? The scene is hard to describe. Nahura was knocked to the ground six times in the next 4 minutes, and soon the two committed crimes came to a break.

Old Nelson had to replace Nahura and Howard, and Wang Zhizhi and Buckner, adding two scoring points.

He said to Wang Zhizhi again: "Defensive center O'Neal depends on you."

Wang Zhizhi really wanted to say: Sorry, I didn’t understand what you said. In our country, creatures of O’Neal are not called centers, but wild black bears. Can I defend against this?

Fortunately, Guo Xu took good care of Chinese fellows and dribbled the ball to the frontcourt to give O'Neal a secret code and started looking for cover. Nash was blocked by O'Neal and it was difficult to get around. Guo Xu moved horizontally and started to score three-pointers. One and two shot in a row.

Wang Zhizhi knew that Guo Xu set an example to demonstrate to him the importance of inside players in defense against pick-and-rolls. He started to switch defenses, and then was passed once, twice, and three times.

What's even worse is that Nash did not block the defense shot, and bypassed the cover and chased the defense one step slowed down. Even if he followed, Guo Xu dribbled the ball to the bottom line, waited for his teammate to cut in the air and then passed it gently to the middle, and O'Pang took off after receiving the ball.

The Lakers led 37-11 in the first quarter. If O'Neal hadn't made too bad free throws, the Lakers would have scored more than 40 points in a single quarter. The Mavericks' offense was also messed up and they took turns to make a fuck. Nash made 0 of 2, Finley made 1 of 7, Nowitzki made 1 of 4, and Howard made 1 of 2.

If Wang Zhizhi hadn't made a mid-range shot against Guo Xu after playing pick-and-roll, the Mavericks would not have scored in double digits in a single quarter.

The two commentators could not watch the cctv5 live game.

Dazhi entered the second round with the team for the first playoffs in his career. Before the game, Chinese fans were very happy and looked forward to his confrontation with Guo Xu. As a result, this scene... Is it abused? Is it abused? You said it abused? Oh my god! Is it abused!

In Fisher in the second quarter, Kobe partnered with the substitute. Facing Tyrone Lou, Howard Ellis' double-back combination has obvious advantages.

Fisher played very confidently. When he was training in the Lakers, he won the appreciation of the coaching staff by defeating Tyrone Lu.

The poor "Lu Yuanwai" failed to leave the legend of "Defying Iverson" in the NBA because of the butterfly effect, and could only leave the joke of "single-for-Jason Guo" and "being beaten by Fisher in the playoffs".

Kobe was resting in the second half, O'Neal and Guo Xu came back to lead the team, and the mixed doubles of the inside and outside started again.

After O'Neal received a pass from Guo Xu and received a dunk in the middle, Zhang Heli sighed: "NBA's rebound quality is really good now. If it were before 1996, O'Neal would have been deducted."
