As soon as Fisher landed, he knew that he was finished. His right foot hurt so hard that he could not stand.

The referee terminated the game and let the Lakers doctor enter the court. The doctor asked Fisher a question and confirmed that it was not a sprained ankle. He immediately accompanied him to the hospital for a detailed examination.

In the next game, Phil Jackson still didn't use Guo Xu, allowing Harper and Brian Shaw to play the point guard, and the task of attacking with the ball was handed over to Isaiah Ledel.

The "Zen Master" did what he said, even if Ledel performed poorly, he would give him the ball rights and let him slap it casually.

If Guo Xu doesn't get there, the Lakers' offense and defense will not be able to change faster. It's not the rhythm that Leidel likes. Jackson wants to use this method to let him see his weight clearly. If he is dissatisfied in the future, he will be cut.

The OK combination played too short, and the Supersonics completed a reversal under the leadership of Payton, and finally won 102-97, giving the Lakers three consecutive losses.

Guo Xu played for 8 minutes and only scored 4 points and 2 assists. Even so, he was so excited that he called Megan Fox home when he got home and ate snacks to tell her to clean the room to celebrate.

If Fisher has a long quit, the "Zen Master" does not value Guo Xu. Has it been allowed to play two veterans in 198CM? The Lakers' two-point guard plays rely on Kobe's ability to prevent and control the guard, but this approach is non-mainstream after all. Guo Xu feels that as long as Fisher does not come back, he may average 30 minutes per game.

The next day, the Lakers officially announced Fisher's injury. He had a stress fracture in his right foot and would be absent from the operation for four months to six months.

Stress fractures, also known as fatigue fractures or accumulated strains, are bone damage caused by excessive use. The susceptible population is athletes with more load-bearing feet, such as basketball, football, tennis players, as well as track and field, gymnasts and dancers. Fisher did work hard in the summer, and the price of improving his strength is reimbursement.

Yao Ming, the number one star in China in his previous life, was destroyed by this injury. Guo Xu was deeply impressed and had taken precautions long ago. During the time cycle, he worked hard to practice his footwork and his weight was not large, so the chance of such injuries in the future was very small.

After the game, the media unanimously agreed that the Lakers were in trouble. Last season's starting point guard Harper was about to be 37 years old, and substitute guard Brian Shaw is already 35 years old, with a very thin depth at the No. 1 position.

Guo Xu has not played more than 10 minutes in a single game in the preseason. The "experts" who praised Guo Xu in the summer league have changed their words, saying that he cannot adapt to NBA-level confrontation.

Many "experts" asserted that Guo Xu could not compete without watching the game video, because he was shorter than Iverson. In fact, after a few minutes of the first match between Guo Xu and Iverson, the two stood together and had similar figures.

The Lakers' last opponent is the Mavericks.

Point guard Steve Nash averaged 8.6 points, 2.2 rebounds and 4.9 assists last season. He is obviously about to explode this year and played very well in the preseason.

As a member of the 96 Golden Generation, Nash was selected by the Suns in the first round with the 15th pick and was very unsatisfied, and could only play as a substitute and had no ball rights. After taking over the Mavericks, he recruited Nash into the team in the shortened season, immediately allowing him to play 40 games in the regular season, and his playing time increased to 31.7 minutes.

Nash's defense is recognized as a bad person. If he hadn't met a noble man like Old Nelson who doesn't value defense, God knows when he will be able to stand out. Now the common argument in basketball is that defense wins the championship, and few teams will be more fond of him.

Guo Xu felt that he was going to challenge Nash alone, and thought that he should perform once this time. As a result, Phil Jackson talked to him before the game and asked him to continue to be a marginal person, which only explained the reason.

"I agreed with Liddle that he would take the ball to attack in the preseason, so you will continue to be a substitute today, and the last game is here. I don't want other teams to see your strength clearly. I will give you more opportunities to perform in the regular season."

"I completely obey the arrangements of the coaching staff." Guo Xu agreed happily.

Jackson nodded, very satisfied with Guo Xu's attitude.

Among the new players who play together in summer, Guo Xu has the least playing time. Pan Peisi can play more than 10 minutes per game and has also played a guest role as point guard. Jackson feels that if someone is anxious, he may hope to be traded. Guo Xu's determination is amazing and can be compared with him, the "Zen Master".

After the game started, even if the OK group was present, the Lakers quickly fell into a passive position and fell behind 23 to 31 in the first quarter.

Nash and Dirk Nowitzki, and Kristen Letterner kept playing pick-and-roll in the inside. Harper was not fast enough to chase the ball, so Nash could break through with the ball and jump shot. If O'Neal was a defender, Nash passed the ball and the big man could catch the ball and jump shot.

Nash is very fast and the shooting is accurate. He perfectly controls the rhythm. Both Mavericks have ranges inside, especially Nowitzki, Harper cannot defend himself even if he switches defense.

Nowitzki is called "soft eggs" by many people, but the big man of 213CM likes to float outside and shoot, just like a point guard swaying man. Nowitzki will not force himself to play at the basket after listening to the comments of "experts" to prove that he can be tough. He just takes the pick-and-roll outside and takes a two-step jump shot.

Nowitzki is already very powerful before he can become a "Golden Rooster Independence". Once "Cobra" Grant changes defense guards, he will not have time to interfere with the shooting and is not fast enough. O'Neal can't defend Nowitzki. He is too heavy and can only be powerful when defending near the penalty area.

In addition to pick-and-roll attack, the Mavericks' direct pass to Michael Finley is also a chance to fight alone.

Some fans called Finley the "farmer version of Jordan". His ball-holding skills are a bit rough, and his physical fitness is undeniable. He can turn around and pull back and jump shot like Jordan, and he also has a good three-pointer.

Finley and Kobe were not at a disadvantage in the matchup, and they played back and forth. After Kobe rested, Finley's advantage against George was very obvious.

The Lakers eventually lost the game 83-100, and four consecutive losses ended the preseason.

Guo Xu only played for 6 minutes, scored 5 points and 2 assists, and both of them single-handedly challenged Nash to score goals. Nash was not good at defense and performed well on the offensive end, scoring 21 points and 10 assists.

Jackson only let the OK group play for 20 minutes, and he doesn't care about the preseason record. Even so, the two major stars are still the Lakers who score the most points, O'Neal scored 20 points and 6 rebounds, and Kobe scored 15 points and 4 assists.

The Lakers won 2 wins and 5 losses in the preseason, and people saw the weakness of the Lakers. As long as the OK combination is just one game, the whole team will be weak in offense and will be judged like two teams.

Last season, Glenn Rice averaged 31.6 minutes per game, contributing 15.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists. This year, Leeds left, and Ledel obviously cannot replace him.

Ledell's shooting was too bad, with less than 40% shooting in the first six games. Only in the last game, he made 8 of 13 shots, 2 of 4 free throws, and scored 18 points. He has to thank the opponent's coach Nelson for his good performance, because the Mavericks played in a double-back formation for a long time, Nash and Howard Eisley, who is 188cm tall and weighs 80 kilograms, were on the court.

Nash often played a guest appearance as a shooting guard in the preseason. Old Nelson is such a unique "mad scientist". Defence and everything are all over the world. It is not an accident that he has never led the team to win the championship in his life.

All teams received three days of rest, and Guo Xu and several teammates visited Fisher together. He had to go so that the team could be united.
