? After two days off, Guo Xu was in the news again. His single The Fox topped the Billboard charts for three consecutive weeks. This result is so strong, plus the two songs at the beginning of the year, the Grammy must give him another award. He was nominated, and many people expected him to win.

It's amazing that a star can play music to such an extent. All his songs, whether sung by himself or written for others, are all champion songs. They are not only on the Billboard, but also dominate the charts in many other countries. popular.

Guo Xu now has a bunch of music trophies placed in a cupboard in his study. He didn't go to the award ceremony for many of them and asked his manager Happy to accept them on his behalf. Among them, there are four Billboard trophies. Happy has also given up his addiction to giving speeches.

Many Chinese fans asked online: When will Guo Xu release a Chinese song? Don't forget that you are half Chinese and can also speak Chinese.

This promise makes Chinese fans very excited. There is no star in the NBA who values ​​Chinese fans more than Guo Xu. Compared with him, those black people look like money swindlers.

November 2nd, the Suns’ home opener.

The league put a lot of thought into how to arrange an opponent for the Suns in the opening game. Not only did they have to have gimmicks, but they also had to consider the fact that the Suns were too strong. The league was worried that popular teams would be overwhelmed by them in the opening game.

The Timberwolves have many stars, but they were badly abused last season. If there is another big defeat in the opening game, it will affect the morale of this team throughout the season and the price will be too high.

Arrange a rocket? The league would like to praise the Yao-Mai combination, but it will take time for them to adjust. The possibility of defeating the Suns in the opening game is very low. If the situation is one-sided, people will be disappointed.

The Spurs and Pistons are powerful but have mediocre gimmicks, which will also affect the enjoyment of the game. The Suns will not be able to play exciting running and gun games. Fans like more dunks in the confrontation.

Finally, the opening game arranged by the league is the Lakers VS Suns. Since many people like to compare Kobe and Guo Xu, let them play against each other in the first game. The Lakers have become weaker and it is normal that they cannot win.

President David Stern was dissatisfied with some of the things the Lakers did in the summer. There is no way this team can be praised this year. Let Kobe lead the team and play whatever they want. Whether you want to praise their performance in the future. With the Lakers' geographical location and the owner's willingness to spend money, it is impossible for the Lakers to have only one big-name star for a long time.

In Guo Xu's previous life, the Lakers were in a state of fending for themselves during the 2004-05 season, and they selected Baby Shark Andrew Bynum in the lottery.

Later, the league praised Kobe again because he averaged a terrifyingly high 35.4 points per game.

Help the Lakers rise again. Kobe was really amazing that year. All statistics were almost at the peak of his career. He averaged 2.3 three-point field goals. If Xiao Hua were the president, he would still win the MVP even if he only ranked seventh in the record.

Before the game started, the Suns held a championship ring award ceremony. The scene was lively and the audience was very enthusiastic. The new Suns owner Brian Colangelo made a declaration during his speech - We will definitely defend our title!

The whole process was both joyful and touching. When the first championship flag in the team's history was raised, the players wore championship rings symbolizing honor. With the music, all the fans stood up to support the home team.

Guo Xu gave a brief speech: It was unity that allowed the Suns to win the championship for the first time. Not just the players, coaches, management, but also all Suns fans. We are a whole. Without the support of the fans, none of this would be possible. It can happen. Because of your support, the Suns will have a brighter future.

Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, the Suns players sat on the sidelines. It was the visiting team's turn to play.

Kobe's mood was not complicated, it was just envy, jealousy and hatred. He felt that everything he dreamed of had been achieved by Guo Xu, but he was just a bystander and received a lot of doubts.

Guo Xu led the Suns to win the championship, and everyone said it was valuable because he was the core of the team and had beautiful, almost perfect statistics.

Kobe also wanted to play such a game. Today he wants to try to drive the whole team and play more offensive offense. He wants to silence those who criticize him and impress all fans.

This is what Kobe did in his previous life. He tried to change and averaged 6 assists per game this season. Unfortunately, he did not make the playoffs.

When the Lakers players came out, there were no boos or applause from Suns fans. There was only chatter, and the atmosphere was quite strange.

This is naked disregard. The Lakers, who had not won a single game in the preseason, played the opening game against the Suns. What the fans were worried about was not losing at home, but fearing that winning too quickly would turn the game into garbage time, and the stars would have to leave the game to rest. .

CCTV5 broadcast the game live. Zhang Liji said: In the game that just ended, the Rockets lost to last season's Eastern Conference champion Pistons 79-87. I hope this game will be more exciting and not let the fans down.

Xu Jicheng said: The Lakers' lineup is incomparable to last season. I hope they can last a little longer. It's best for Kobe and Guo Xu to score points. This is what everyone wants to see most.

Zhang Lili smiled and said: Guo Xubiao's points are easier. The Lakers are really bad at the two positions.

Both sides started the game, and Guo Xu took the initiative to say hello to Kobe on the court.

Kobe frowned and looked very serious, almost giving him a death glare. This attitude made Guo Xu a little speechless.

The Lakers' bad lineup was your fault in the summer. Why do you look like I've harmed you?

In fact, Kobe's expression meant I am serious, I work my hardest, I am going to use my greatest strength... But in the eyes of others, it is difficult to think in that direction.

Suns starting lineup: Guo Xu, Laga Bell, Marion, Nene, Stoudemire.

Lakers starting lineup: Howard Eisley, Kobe Bryant, Caron Butler, Lamar Odom, Brian Grant.

In the past, D'Antoni rarely used twin towers inside. After tasting the benefits in the playoffs, he began to try positional play. The Lakers' internal flaws are obvious. If they don't attack the inside now, when will they wait?

Nene rested for a month and a half after the surgery and recovered early. He showed excellent jumping when jumping the ball and beat Odom. The Suns attacked first.

Guo Xu and Stoudemire played a pick-and-roll in the middle to avoid Eisley, attracting Odom to change defense and pass the ball to the middle. Stoudemire took the ball and took off with one step, smashing and smashing the ball with one hand. 2 to 0.

The opening scene was a beautiful collaboration between the core players, which ignited the atmosphere and the fans applauded one after another.

When the Lakers attacked, Eisley dribbled the ball across half court and passed it to Kobe. He opened the outside line and waited for an opportunity. Kobe dribbled the ball to the low post, singled out Bell with his back, turned around and made a fadeaway jumper. 2 to 2.

Kobe's moves were beautiful, and some fans gave him sporadic applause.

When the Suns attacked, Guo Xu and Stoudemire played a pick-and-roll again, with exactly the same coordination. Guo Xu went to the weak side to attract the inside to switch defenses and distribute the ball to the middle. Stoudemire cut through and drove to the basket. This time, Grant was attracted to retreat to defend and he did not pass. , using one step to overwhelm the opponent and throw the ball in from close range. 4 to 2.

Zhang Lili said: The Lakers had problems with their defense in the opening game. They couldn't defend themselves in the penalty area.

Xu Jicheng said: Their lineup has obvious flaws. After losing O'Neal, they have no high center forward and cannot protect the penalty area.

Zhang Lili smiled and said: Ha Shengzhen is a high center, but his level is too poor and he can only be substituted. Divac has experience, but he is injured and I don't know when he will be able to play. If the Lakers want to win today, it depends on Kobe's performance on the offensive end. .”

As soon as he finished speaking, Kobe turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper that missed the basket...
