In the second half, Raptors head coach Lanny Wilkens dared not let Dell Curry play anymore. He could not defend against Guo Xu, and even more so, Kobe. Whether playing at the 1st or 2nd position, it was a defensive loophole.

Mark Jackson, who is 185cm tall and weighs 82 kilograms, can't defend against Guo Xu. He is almost 36 years old. He is slow to chase when he encounters pick-and-roll, but he still can't jump up on the floor.

After playing for a few minutes, Wilkens adjusted his lineup again and reused Peterson at the No. 2 position, allowing Alvin Williams, who was 196cm tall, to defend Guo Xu, which limited his scoring. But on the other hand, it was also easy for Guo Xu to defend Alvin. This player had poor shooting skills and average breakthrough ability. He was unable to exert his height advantage behind Guo Xu.

In the third quarter, the Raptors recovered a little score under Carter and Oakley.

In the final quarter, the Lakers mainly played triangular offense. In order to assist O'Neal, the Raptors chose to empty their role players. As a result, Fox made two consecutive three-pointers, widening the gap to 20 points, and the game entered garbage time.

The Raptors' management is destined to be disappointed this season. They invited famous coaches to do a big game, but the team's record is very average.

Only looking at personal resume, Wilkens is very great. In 1989, he was inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame as a player. In 1996, he was inducted into the NBA 50 superstars and 10 coaches. In 1998, he was inducted into the Hall of Fame as a coach.

But in fact, Wilkens's coaching level is average, his career winning rate is just over half. He can become a "master of winning" because his coaching career is very long. He has only won one championship in 30 years and one best coach. He has a good reputation, is good at defense, is rigid in offense, and has no surprises. Old-school people can't be old-school.

Compared with other masters in the coaching world, his winning rate is not good. After taking over the Raptors, his tactics are the 76ers' style of playing with a superstar who fights the offense alone and fights the whole team to defend. Whether he can win depends mainly on Carter's performance.

The Lakers won 109-92 in the end, and the four players in the team scored in double digits.

Guo Xu played for 28 minutes, scored 20 points, 8 assists and 2 steals, and scored 15+ in two consecutive games, and his condition was recovered.

After the press conference, the Lakers flew to Orlando without stopping to play against the Magic away. The focus of the league publicity was another super point guard showdown, Kobe vs. McGrady. The Lakers just got rid of their cousin and are now playing against their cousin again.

O'Neal's match against his old club is no longer a big highlight. The Magic's boss's face has long been slapped by O'Neal. Fans are tired of the trash of Magic management.

A top historical center gave it to the Lakers, and the general management really couldn't do such a thing. The Fat and Slim Man of Magic can only keep one. From the perspective of the fans, it's just that one SB is chosen, and this also requires O'Neal.

Although O'Neal was 23+14 in the rookie season, and although O'Neal's role on the court was much greater than Hardaway, Hardaway, the "Jordan successor" was more popular at that time. The Magic Management really thought that being the boss was easier to win the championship and sell tickets, so he chose to keep the thin guys.

The Magic trade is actually that Hardaway wants to be the boss and doesn’t want anyone in the team to have a higher salary than him. At that time, Uncle Huo and Mo Ning all received over 100 million contracts. The Magic actually gave O’Neal an insulting offer of 69 million in 7 years. How could he not leave?

The two sides decided the winner in three quarters. The Magic were beaten so hard that they had no power to fight back. Only McGrady and Mike Miller scored in double digits, while the Lakers scored in double digits, making them bloom more points.

Guo Xu scored 19 points and 5 assists, and the Magic started with 183cm point guard Darrell Armstrong made 2 of 14 shots, 0 of 6 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and only scored 8 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists.

When facing the small point guard, Guo Xu relied on close combat and quickly chased the defense, which could reduce the opponent's shooting rate and efficiency. However, when the Lakers' defense was mentioned, the media would say that he was a team's defensive loophole, and he felt helpless about this.

The Lakers flew to Texas again, and the next 21st and 22nd is a back-to-back away trip.

Continuous away games are a great test for the players, and players with good physical strength are easier to perform.

In the game against the Rockets, Kobe "god descended to earth". He made 20 of 26 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointer, and 4 of 6 free throws, efficiently scoring 45 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, with a shooting percentage of 76.9%.

Guo Xu performed averagely, making 4 of 10 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and only scored 11 points and 5 assists. Fortunately, such performance was enough to help the team win.

O'Neal was in a sluggish state, and the Rockets players used the "shark-cutting tactic". He made only 7 of 22 free throws, scoring 25 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists in the game.

Then, the Lakers defeated the Mavericks 118-103.

The outside defense is the fatal weakness of the Mavericks. They cannot defend Kobe and cannot limit Guo Xu. After the players pulled apart in the second quarter, Guo Xu broke through the "big bamboo pole" Bradley several times with pick-and-roll, scoring or assisting, and opened the score in one wave.

Guo Xu easily scored 18 points and 6 assists in 31 minutes, while Mavericks starting point guard Nash scored 18 points and 8 assists, and did not gain any advantage in the first match against Guo Xu.

Nash claims to be 191cm, but Guo Xu stands almost the same height as him, and Nash is actually only 185cm. During the battle, Guo Xu has an advantage, and Nash's strength is extremely weak, and he is the kind of person who can't push an 84 kilogram bench press.

The Mavericks focus on positional battles, Nash advances quickly, and his broad vision is not easy to play. Before he joins the Suns, no one will regard him as a super giant. He was selected as a substitute for the All-Star and there are a group of people who think he is overrated.

As for Tyrone Lu, who scored 3 points and 1 assist in this game, he was already a public enemy in Dallas. When he appeared today, he was booed by home fans. When Guo Xu made a three-pointer under his defense, the atmosphere on the scene was really... He could call him a Japanese name Momonosuke.

The Lakers returned to Los Angeles with a series of consecutive victories, and will face their old opponent Trail Blazers at home for Christmas.

In addition to the finals and All-Star Games, the most eye-catching NBA game is the Christmas battle, which is as hot as the Chinese Spring Festival Gala.

When popular stars sacrifice their family joy to spend the beautiful scenery with their families, alliances, TV stations, advertisers, and all the surrounding industries related to NBA will benefit greatly from it.

Only two rookies can perform on this big stage this year. Guo Xu and Magic's Mike Miller, the league arranged the Magic's away game against the Pacers.

Both Eastern teams have a very bad record, with less than half of the winning rate, but the league has arranged the schedule early and cannot be changed. At the beginning, David Stern's plan was to fight last season's Eastern Conference champions led by McGrady and Hill. As a result, the stars of both teams were injured and the players were ruined.

The Lakers players took a break on the 24th, and Guo Xu slept until noon, and was a little uncomfortable.

Usually Meghan Fox can cook, knock on the bedroom door and call him to get up. When he comes back from the away game, Meghan has already returned to Port St. Lucie for the holiday with his family.

The Christmas holidays in American schools are usually from December 10 to January 5. Similar to the winter vacation of Chinese students, Meghan and Guo Xu chatted on the phone and had to wait until New Year's Day before returning to Los Angeles.

Jason Statham is going to celebrate Christmas with his girlfriend Kelly Brooke, and Austin Nichos will celebrate Christmas with his family. Guo Xu is a little glad to have a game tomorrow, otherwise he would be too bored. He is so lonely, looking for it, deserted, miserable and miserable.
