After staying in the hotel in Phoenix, Kobe neither surfed the Internet nor read the news.

He currently averages 41 minutes per game, scoring 33 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.8 steals in 25.2 shots. This is his peak career statistic, second only to Guo Xu in the scoring list, but now he feels like Mark Twain who was slandered by his opponent in "The Governor's Campaign", which is very uncomfortable.

He began to feel a little nervous when he picked up the newspaper, just as if you were to pick up a blanket when you wanted to sleep, but you were always worried, afraid that there would be a snake inside.

Because the media rarely talks about Kobe, fans always question his ability to lead the team, which makes him very painful.

People complained again and again that he was inefficient, had only 45% shooting percentage, grabbed the ball rights of his inside teammates, made strong shots, and shot more than 25 times too independent, did not trust his teammates, and was not as strong as O'Neal, Guo Xu, etc... Just like slandering Mark Twain as a perjury, Montana's thief, grave-digging corpse robber, alcoholic, dirty briber, and hateful briber.

Although Mark Twain and Kobe are all real, this is really fucking!

What Kobe is most disgusted with is the group of brainless pots who are known as "6 billion". The most powerful thing about him is that Guo Xu scores more points than him? Doesn't Guo Xu have no weaknesses and are perfect?

These people are shaking other stars everywhere all day long, mocking other fans, and biting whoever they see. What is this called "Guomi"? Is it more appropriate to call it "Goumi"? Kobe suspected that this is a bunch of lunatics.

Guo Xu is also very unique in playing basketball, and he makes more attempts, but there are a group of treacherous people applauding.

Guo Xu didn't work hard in training and didn't defend well in the game, and there were even a group of brainless people applauding.

The most outrageous thing is that the last time Guo Xu went to China to do an event, there was a SB wearing glasses crying like a dead father when she saw him from a distance. Brother, won’t your parents be ashamed of you know that you are such a fan?

Kobe does not think there is something wrong with his playing style. He firmly believes that the Lakers' poor record is because the team's lineup is not strong enough. Currently, he is the only All-Star player in the team. He passed many goals against the Timberwolves, sent 8 assists, and only made 16 shots, but the team still lost.

Kobe had a headache against the Suns because he knew how rubbish his teammates were. Smarsh Parker would definitely not be able to defend Guo Xu, and their wing defense was not good either. "Zen Master" Jackson was preparing to adjust the lineup in this game, allowing Kobe to play small forwards, and try to limit Josh Howard, and no longer let the opponent's small forward do whatever he wanted like Szebiak in the field.

Although the online prediction of the victory or defeat is one-sided, the media still pays close attention to the game, and TNT Radio broadcasts the whole of the United States on the 6th.

The Suns game has the most live broadcasts in the United States. The three major American TV stations are broadcasting in turn, and the ratings are always guaranteed, especially this season. Fans love to watch Guo Xu score points, and watch him do things that other players will not do, which are cool things.

Guo Xu's outfit attracted many people to imitate him. His usual military-style short buzz cut hair became popular. The products of the merchants who asked him to endorse him were very popular. He sprinkled magnesium powder before the competition began, and his attitude of dominating the world became a classic.

When the player appeared, Barkley smiled and introduced: "Suns vs. Lakers, Jason, who often plays sports with his girlfriend at 4 a.m., and Kobe, who often plays sports in the arena and sparring at 4 a.m. I believe many fans can't wait to see them score. This game will definitely be very exciting."

Kenny Smith said: "If the season is just beginning, look at the lineup of both sides, even if Butler is absent, I would say that the Lakers' lineup is better than the Suns. Now, the other way around, butler's comeback is not optimistic that the Lakers will win."

Butler is a forward with great physical fitness and likes to break through and dunk. He was fouled by PJ Brown and fell hard. He had to be absent for at least two weeks before he came back.

Sun: Guo Xu, Blake, Bell, Haslem, David Lee.

Lakers: Smarsh Parker, Vujasic, Kobe, Odom, Bogut.

"Zen Master" Jackson found that the Suns lineup was different from what he thought, so he changed three. Payton did not appear, and Howard also rested. They did not even send Valaijo, who was good at defending the restricted area.

Making adjustments is the result of the coaching staff's discussion. Howard's defense against Kobe is not as good as Bale.

As long as Bale appears, he will defend Kobe by using a constant close-knit approach to make Kobe difficult to catch the ball. Howard is not oppressive enough to defend without the ball, and he likes to let the opponent take the ball and then defend with his body. He will allocate his physical strength reasonably in order to have a better performance on the offensive end.

In this case, Howard will directly lead the substitute to attack, and leave it to Bale and Ariza against Kobe. Guo Xu suggested doing this during a meeting and discussion. He knew that something could easily happen to Howard's main defense. Kobe scored 62 points in three quarters to match Howard against Kobe. He can't let him get the ball comfortably in his favorite position and can't let him find the rhythm.

Blake is in good condition. He made a three-pointer in the morning when training and beat Payton in one-on-one.

Before the game, Payton said: "Let Steve, he will definitely play well without scruples on my face."

As a veteran, Payton never relies on his seniority in the team, likes to guide young players' skills, and has a good relationship with Blake.

Now the Suns' Blake defense is definitely better than the one who was injured many times in the previous life in Guo Xu. Payton did not have the highest data. Even if he finally set a new personal assist high in a single season, no one would think that he was better than at the peak, which was meaningless.

When the team needs him, he will do his best to perform on the court, and he averaged about 10 minutes per game last season without any dissatisfaction.

Valaijo's rest is a sign that the Suns want to fight for the offense. The coaching staff is not worried that Bogut will show off. Looking at the Lakers' previous game, D'Antoni knew that someone would definitely help David Lee defend Bogut to death. That man has a super ability to defend the inside line and can be called the best sixth man in the 29th team.

Even if Bogut is in a very brave state, he can't shoot a few goals in a game, and his tactical role in the team is becoming more and more embarrassing.

The referee threw the ball into the air and the game began.

David Lee jumped with all his strength to make the ball, but it was useless. Bogut jumped too high. If the rules allowed, Bogut could directly take the ball down like a rebound. Many of his dunks this season have a flat frame and his body measurement bounce reached 85m.

Bogut used his energy to vent every time he made a ball. He knew that after the game started, he would have to rest on both ends of the offense and defense. In addition to jumping the ball, it would be difficult to show his bounce power.

Parker dribbled the ball and passed it to Kobe over the halftime, and Bale quickly completed his close fit. Kobe failed to get rid of it in two steps, and passed it to Odom in the middle. He ran to the low post on the right to ask for the ball, while Bogut stood at the low post on the left, forming a "double ghost slamming the goal".

Odom is good at removing the inside and supporting the pass. If he is allowed to catch the ball from the side and organize the offense, the accuracy of the mid-range shot will be worse, so "Zen Master" Jackson tends to let him play high positions and let Bogut move the bottom line. When playing pick-and-roll with the defender, Odom's mid-range shot shooting percentage is also higher than Bogut.

However, whenever he sees such a key position, Odom will hesitate to pass the ball, because there are teammates on both sides of the low posts, and he only has one ball and cannot split and pass it to both.

This is really a dilemma. If Guo Xu is responsible for organizing the offense in this Lakers, he will want to sing at this time.
