Trail Blazers point guard Stadameier continued to rest, and the other two core players appeared early, while the Lakers' OK combination was still resting. If this continues, the home team will definitely be at a disadvantage in terms of physical strength.

The game continued, Anthony led the ball to Rashid Wallace over the half, and ran to the left baseline by himself, then ran to the right corner, and played an unball cover with Camp.

Suddenly, a big devil in the flesh was blocking the front. Guo Xu could not quickly get around the pursuit even if he was super flexible. Anthony received the ball from the right corner and jumped into the three-pointer. Guo Xu slowed down and the ball made a 37-29.

Kamp was very happy that Guo Xu continued to play pick-and-roll, but the one who switched to his defense became Rashid.

Guo Xu did not break through with the ball. At this time, Leidel ran at the bottom line, running from the left to the right corner, and Grant blocked Smith for a while.

Kemp stood near the penalty area, without any idea of ​​changing defense. Guo Xu was quick-eyed and passed the ball to Ledel, who also had a basket. He adjusted the ball and scored a three-pointer at the open position.

40 to 29, Guo Xu gave an assist.

Kamp's defensive black hole attributes are undoubtedly displayed. If he does not change defense, his teammates from the outside have to chase him. It is difficult to bypass the cover master Grant. This is because Kamp stands with the opponent's inside line and will also block his own people. The area covering the penalty area is too large.

On the offensive end, Kemp finally played once. He first played pick-and-roll with Wells, then cut in the middle and received Wells' pass, squeezed out Foster and made a layup. 40-31.

His goal was not praised, but was ridiculed by the commentator.

Woodson bent over with a smile: "Kemp really can't jump now, so he only jumped 5CM this time, and it looks like he's on tiptoe."

The Lakers attacked, Guo Xu re-used the same trick, attracting Rashid to defend and pass to Ledel on the baseline. The latter caught the ball and swayed, and changed direction and passed Smith who chased the defense. He stopped and jumped at 45 degrees with a quick stop and scored 42 to 31.

Kemp didn't change defense, and Ledel easily scored in a single, but Guo Xu hoped that his teammates could catch the ball and shoot, otherwise it would not be considered an assist, and he complained to Ledel in his heart.

The Trail Blazers attacked, Wells and Kemp played pick-and-roll again. This time, Kemp made a throw shot and the rebound was grabbed by Grant, passing it to Guo Xu on a straight line. Guo Xu quickly advanced to the frontcourt from the left and distributed it to George in the middle.

George is 203CM tall and weighs 106 kg. LeBron James is just this physique when he first entered the league. In the counterattack, he faces 201CM tall and weighs only 91 kg Smith.

Smith's confrontation has always been a weakness, and he avoided playing on the offensive end. George took the ball and forced a layup to score. Smith did not get stuck, did not jump, and did not make a foul.

44 to 31, Guo Xu made the second assist.

The Lakers' bench was very lively. Not only the players were excited, but the coaching staff were surprised. Guo Xu played like an All-Star.

The Trail Blazers attack started from the side, and Smith and Rashid formed a misalignment after playing pick-and-roll. Rashid played singles at George at a low post, and turned around with a big stride to cause a foul, making both free throws. 44 to 33.

During the dead ball, the Trail Blazers replaced Camp and replaced Davis. Dunleavy finally couldn't stand Camp's bad defense. The Lakers also replaced three people, and the OK group appeared together. Fox replaced George, and the team was going to play in a triangle offense.

In the second half, O'Neal's "show time". He turned around and threw the ball in the low position, knocking the opponent's dunk with both hands. Kamp was not there, and the Trail Blazers could not withstand O'Neal's single defense in the inside.

Guo Xu's task became very simple. He dribbled the ball and passed the ball through the half-court, waited outside the three-point line, and watched the fat man's performance close-up.

Not only Guo Xu, but Kobe had to follow him and run back when he came up. The Trail Blazers have weaknesses in the inside line, and if they don’t play like this, they will not be team-based.

Guo Xu focused on the defensive end and strictly prevented Stardameier. The "Little Flying Squirrel" was very uncomfortable to play, and his speed advantage was not obvious. As soon as Guo Xu was close to him, he could only pass the ball. He played hard in case of interference, and his shooting rate was not high.

On the offensive end, Guo Xu did not play completely. In 1 minute and 15 seconds, Grant made a mid-range shot, and O'Neal grabbed the frontcourt rebound, attracting double teams to split the ball out of the periphery and gave it to Guo Xu.

Stadameier ran early in the fast break. Guo Xu easily caught the ball 70 degrees from the right, and scored another three-pointer in the open position.

At the end of the first half, the Lakers led by 61 to 44.

Guo Xu played in the second quarter, playing for a total of 16 minutes, making 7 shots, 5 of 5 three-pointers, scoring 19 points and 2 assists, the second most points in the game, second only to teammate O'Neal.

O'Neal scored 24 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block in the first half, completely dominating the penalty area.

Kobe was caught in a foul and plagued three fouls at the halftime. He only played 13 minutes, made 2 of 5 shots, and scored 5 points and 2 assists with free throws, without rebounds.

Guo Xu felt that he was going to be a big blowout, and his hands were too smooth, so Jackson asked him to sit on the bench for a whole quarter in the second half.

He didn't understand what the "Zen Master" was thinking. The Lakers sent the starter to the start and played in a mess without replacing people.

O'Neal encountered a front-circling defense, and it was difficult to catch the ball. He finally got the ball and was double-teamed again. In this quarter, he only scored 6 points and 4 rebounds.

Kobe was in a sluggish state, shooting and making mistakes, making only 2 of 6 shots, scoring 4 points, no rebounds, no assists, but four mistakes.

In terms of role players, Harper followed him back and forth and missed the ball after playing the whole quarter; Fox missed the basket with four shots; "Cobra" Grant only had two minutes to rest in the first quarter, and made a full shot in the third quarter, making 1 of 2 shots, 1 of 2 free throws, scoring 3 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.

The Lakers team made 6 of 19 shots in a single quarter, with a shooting percentage of 31.6%, 0 of 3 three-pointers and 2 of 6 free throws, scoring only 14 points, and as many as 6 turnovers.

Woodson analyzed that Jackson wanted to strengthen his defense and continue to defend and win the game. The Trail Blazers' offense was not good at 23 points in a single quarter, but the Lakers' offense was even worse.

The score difference narrowed to single digits, with the Lakers leading 75 to 67.

Jackson seemed to fall asleep on the sidelines, without substitution or timeout, allowing the players to adjust themselves on the court.

Guo Xu was helpless. His hands were so hot. If other coaches were to let him continue playing in the second half, 80% of them would let him continue playing in the second half to avoid the feeling of the touch. The "Zen Master" seemed to care more about the state of the OK combination, and even if Kobe had a bad feel, he would be left on the court.

Jackson's brain circuit is indeed different from other coaches. He likes to let the stars take more responsibilities and get the rhythm back by himself. This is how superstars train it. What is called a pause? The worse the game, the less they stop, and get the venue back by themselves.

If the stars don't play well, they will replace them immediately. If the times are too many, their confidence will be lost and they will even rely on the coach's tactical adjustments. Players often develop the habit of adjusting themselves. Although some games will be more difficult to win or even lose, when they enter the playoffs, Lakers players will have much stronger mentality.

In Guo Xu's previous life, the team led by Jackson often performed wonderful finals, and there were always big-hearted players standing up to create classic games. This is not acceptable.

As for Guo Xu, Jackson still wants to sharpen his character.

During the break, he called Guo Xu to his side and whispered: "I can let you play in the final quarter, but you must restrain yourself. If you play well, don't dance on the field anymore. This will arouse the opponent's anger. Do you think the "Portland Prison" is talking about it? I don't want to see anyone of you get hurt in the first game."
