Legend of Tomorrow

Guo Xu singled out Payton twice again, both times under serious interference, and Payton hit Guo Xu with his back, fouled and made two free throws.

When Foster defended Vin Baker for a foul in the next round, Zen Master Jackson requested a timeout and adjusted the lineup.

OK Combination and Brian Shaw appeared together, replacing Foster, George, and Guo Xu.

This substitution became a turning point in the game. The Lakers were beaten by their opponents, and the point difference quickly widened to more than 20 points. Zen Master's tactics are simply arranged for the Sonics.

After George came off the court, Sonics rookie Mason broke out. He ran away from Leder again and again, caught the ball and hit the basket, dunked twice, and made a three-pointer in the counterattack.

Mason made 4 of 5 shots in a single quarter and scored 9 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist; Payton made 3 of 5 shots in a single quarter, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 9 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist; Barry faced off against Bryan Xiao also performed well, making two shots, one of which was a three-pointer, and scored 5 points and 3 assists.

The Lakers' offense was completely misfired. Kobe made 0 of 4 shots under Payton's defense and only grabbed one rebound. Only O'Neal scored 6 points and Fox scored 2 points.

The Lakers scored 21 points in a single quarter. If Guo Xu hadn't scored 10 points before, the game would have been impossible to watch. The Sonics scored 38 points in a single quarter and almost all of their shots in the second half were made.

The Lakers ended the first half trailing by 31 points, surprising all viewers.

In the second half, Guo Xu played with the OK combination to strengthen the offense. Payton can only guard one of Guo Xu and Kobe, and he can't take care of him. The two scored 8 points and 13 points respectively, O'Neal also scored 6 points, and the offense opened up.

The Lakers shot 35 to 22 in a single quarter, but unfortunately they dug too big a hole in the early stage and were still 18 points behind entering the final quarter.

In the last quarter, Payton showed great success in defending Guo Xu. Guo Xu had a hard time breaking through and catching the ball. He also made two passing mistakes. On the offensive end, Payton relied on his height to defeat him.

Reuben Patterson did a very good job of defending Kobe Bryant alone. After Kobe made 1 of 5 shots, he was replaced by Jackson. The Lakers fell behind by 27 points and entered garbage time with 7 minutes left in the game.

Guo Xu's statistics were pretty good. He played 27 minutes, making 7 of 15 shots, 2 of 6 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 18 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 assists.

Payton played 34 minutes, making 10 of 18 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 27 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, and 2 steals.

O'Neal had 23 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, and did not take advantage of the SuperSonics' low-post double team.

Kobe made 7 of 18 shots, 0 of 4 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, and scored 19 points, 3 rebounds, and 4 assists.

Patterson, who calls himself Kobe's Terminator, is really not a vegetarian. He is 196cm tall and weighs 102kg. He is a black and hard player with super explosive power. He is good at personal defense and interfering with shooting.

This guy doesn't know what's wrong with him. He didn't like Kobe as soon as he entered the league. He was drafted by the Lakers with the second overall pick in the second round of 1998. He had many conflicts with Kobe. During training, he always wanted to make Kobe look good. This once affected the team's internal unity and was sent away.

In Guo Xu's previous life, the two played against each other 26 times in their careers, including 23 times in the regular season and 3 times in the playoffs. Kobe averaged 29 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 2 steals in these 26 games, but his shooting percentage was only 43.3%, and his efficiency was indeed reduced a bit.

Patterson averaged 10.7 points, 4 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.2 steals per game. Judging from the head-to-head record, Patterson slightly beat Kobe with 14 wins and 12 losses.

The data proves that Patterson is not a terminator, he is just a pioneer in Kehei.

At the end of the game, 93-121, the Lakers' winning streak came to an end, losing their third game this season.

Five members of the SuperSonics scored in double figures and made many achievements. Vin Baker, the second best performer, scored 20 points and 9 rebounds.

Guo Xu came on the stage and shook hands with Payton.

Payton not only didn't talk trash this time, but even encouraged him after the fight. You did well and the future is yours.

Guo Xu was shocked on the spot. Did he see through me? Or do people who like to cuddle up get this kind of evaluation?

Even after losing, Guo Xu had to attend a press conference. When asked about the star vote, he praised Payton a few words and admitted that there is currently a gap in strength between the two. He was ranked high thanks to the fans.

Payton's offense is average, scoring just over 20 points in 40 minutes, but his defense is so good that Guo Xu may not be able to reach a level in his life. No surprise that Payton will still be selected to the All-Defensive Team this year, but the Sonics' overall defense is not good, and they may not be able to make the playoffs.

On the Internet, many Lakers fans believed that the reason for the defeat was Jackson's inaction.

If the Zen Master arranges to mainly play pick-and-rolls and let O'Neal pull out to cover, the Lakers may win. But Zen Master kept napping on the sidelines. It didn't matter if he was two or thirty points behind. He didn't call a timeout or change his tactics. He just watched the stars casually challenge BD.

Whenever this kind of game is played, some people will question Jackson's coaching ability, poor on-the-spot response, etc. He does not refute, nor does he care, he is too calm. He may be born to react half a beat slower than normal people, and by the time he reacts, he is too lazy to explain anything.

Guo Xu flew back to Los Angeles with the team and slept in. When he woke up at ten o'clock, he found Megan playing with the TV and DVD player in the living room, looking listless.

Since taking on the task of cooking and admitting that she is a maid, Megan has the key to Guo Xu's apartment. She claimed to be convenient for cleaning the room, but in fact, she was playing computer and games at his home when he was away on the road. Although the apartment is not big, there are many things for entertainment.

After washing up, Guo Xu asked, Morning, why do you have such an expression?

Depressed, I'm so depressed, can you buy me two cans of beer? Megan frowned.

Everyone in Los Angeles knows that I am 19 years old. I can't buy alcohol. What's going on? Are you broken in love? Guo Xu saw that Megan was not in the right mood, so he couldn't help but make a few jokes, which became a habit.

Then can your cousin help buy wine? He lives not far away. Megan said with a wry smile: My mother has gone back, and I want to try what beer tastes like. I heard that if you are in a bad mood, just drink some beer.

No, I can't watch you make mistakes. Guo Xu firmly refused.

American law stipulates that you can only buy and drink alcohol at the age of 21, so there has always been a joke: Alcohol is harder to deal with than enemies and wives.

Here, citizens can get married and obtain a driver's license at the age of 16. Men must be 18 years old. Different states have different legal regulations. Most states choose 16 as the first age point, and you can join the army and fight on the battlefield at the age of 18.

As long as the bottle is opened, it is illegal to drink or not. The control of drinking in the United States is so strict that it is incomprehensible. For example, when you are driving, the driver's cab releases the capped wine bottle. Once the police finds out, they can punish you regardless of whether you drank or not. In some states, no one (including legal drinkers over the age of 21) is allowed to walk on the street with an opened bottle.

Guo Xuyi spoke sternly: That crap is nothing good to drink, it will only make people corrupt. Today you want to drink beer, next time you may want to drink cocktails, and then you want to smoke marijuana, and then you will be useless.

Megan gritted her teeth and said, Do you think I'm so poor, like someone who can afford marijuana?

Guo Xu smiled and said: Anyway, don't even think about buying wine. I'm going out to buy two boxes of ice cream. It's only appropriate for your age to eat ice cream with the heating on in this weather. Eat some sweets and you'll feel better.

Do you think I'm a child? I'm eating ice cream in December. As you can imagine, I won't eat it! Meghan pouted.
