Kobe Bryant frequently cast a "death glare" at Guo Xu on the offensive end while playing, and his eyes were full of murder.

After the game, Kobe Bryant sat next to Guo Xu, tilting his head and glaring, his expression was like Suchahartay, the martial champion on the planet Pandora, staring at Sam Worthington who had changed into a blue skin. You imposter Smurfs, I see you!

When he left the court, Kobe Bryant followed Guo Xu and stared at him, seeing that he was about to enter the "black mamba" mode, and he could come up and take a bite at any time, and no one could stop him at all.

Guo Xu wanted to ask, "Why don't you stare at O'Neill?" ”

Kobe didn't dare to stare at O'Neal, the opponent was too big, and he was obviously not an opponent when it came to PK. And O'Neill will stare at him wide-eyed, and he is also at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.

Kobe Bryant was really angry this time, he was actually prevented by his rookie teammates! He only made two shots in the second half! Is there still a royal law? Is there still a law?

He shot 6-of-19 from the field, 2-of-6 from three-point range and 3-of-3 from the free-throw line to finish with 17 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.

In fact, Kobe Bryant should thank Guo Xu, if he shoots like in the first half, he will play a game that will be recorded in the "Iron Exhibition Hall", and the amount of iron produced in a single game will be selected into the top ten of his career, which is not far from the top five.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Kobe Bryant played 41 minutes, shooting 8 of 31, 3 of 10 three-pointers, 6 of 7 free throws, and scored 25 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 3 turnovers. Then the Lakers lost 105-109 at home to the Bucks.

The shooting rate is only 25.8%, and he can't score 30 points on 31 shots, which is relatively rare in the entire history of the NBA.

The players returned to the locker room and went into the bathroom to take a shower, Guo Xu still felt a strong murderous aura, and turned his head to see Kobe Bryant glaring at him while wiping his back with a towel under the shower behind him.

Guo Xu was taken aback, his hand slipped and the soap flew out.

"NO......" he let out a long cry, used both hands together, and grabbed the soap twice in the air, but he couldn't catch it because it was too slippery, and fell to the ground with a snap.

The teammates all looked this way, Guo Xu took a deep breath, wiped his body and walked out of the bathroom, not daring to bend down to pick up soap.

Even if there are back-to-back games tomorrow, the press conference is essential. Guo Xu, who scored 16 points and 6 assists, attended with the OK combination, Fox and others.

A reporter asked: "Did you deliberately not pass the ball to Kobe Bryant in the second half?" Do you have any contradictions? ”

Guo Xu explained bluntly: "Yes, this is the coach's arrangement, Kobe Bryant has a very bad hand, and in that case he should adjust his playing style." As long as he feels good on the field, I will definitely give him more passes, and the players' obedience to the coach's arrangement comes first, and we don't have any contradictions. ”

Another reporter asked, "The cameraman caught him glaring at you." ”

"Maybe he's jealous that I'm handsome."

Guo Xu's narcissistic answer distorted the topic, and the atmosphere in the venue became much more relaxed.

The media likes to make a fuss about the contradictions between players, which is a good gimmick to attract attention, Guo Xu doesn't want to stand in front of O'Neal and Kobe Bryant "love and kill each other". His qualifications are too shallow, and no one will say good things.

By the time the players and coaches had dealt with the media and gone home to pack their things, they had to go to the airport to catch their flight, and it was already midnight.

Los Angeles is not far from Portland, an hour's flight away, after checking into the hotel, Guo Xu fell asleep, too tired.

The next day he slept until noon and woke up, too lazy to move, knowing that his state was not guaranteed tonight. Equally tired was O'Neill, who was the most noisy person and was quiet at lunch.

Kobe didn't stare at Guo Xu anymore, he had already figured it out after a night, he really felt bad yesterday, and if he didn't shoot too much, it would be even more faceless, so it would be better to end up like yesterday.

That night, the Lakers suffered their fifth loss of the season with a 92-96 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Bryant played 45 minutes, finding his touch on 13-of-25 shooting, 0-of-2 three-pointers, and 9-of-13 free throws, scoring a game-high 35 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.

What is more embarrassing is that the rest of the Lakers players are collectively abnormal, and Kobe Bryant lost again with a high score.

Guo Xu shot 3 of 10 and 2 of 7 three-pointers, scoring only 8 points and 2 assists. The "flying squirrel" Stoudamire who was opposite him shot 8-of-17, 2-of-3 from three-point range and 3-of-4 from the free-throw line, finishing with 21 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists.

The two have different styles, Guo Xu wants to hold the ball to get rid of Stadamire's defense, and once the shooting is not good, it will not be easy to play. "Little Flying Squirrel" felt good today, and he couldn't block even the mid-to-long-range shots.

O'Neal was even worse, finishing with 19 points, 13 rebounds, four assists and four turnovers on 7-of-21 shooting and 5-of-12 free throws.

The veteran Sabonis did not play well, only 4 points and 8 rebounds, and the Trail Blazers relied on the system to defend O'Neal, low-post packing, perimeter rotation, and putting Fox, Harper, George and others to shoot. These people shoot very little, they don't shoot in empty positions, and their hit rate is not guaranteed.

After the game, the NBA schedule was too tight, and the problem of insufficient physical strength of players in back-to-back games was once again widely discussed.

In Michael Jordan's heyday, he was revealed by the media to only sleep a few hours a night, which is often cited as explaining why he is different from ordinary people, in fact, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the NBA.

NBA games are generally played in the evening, and it is almost 10 o'clock after the game, after which the players take a shower and participate in press conferences, and reporters do not leave the arena until almost 12 o'clock. They rarely go to bed directly when they go home, because dinner is around 5 p.m. on game days, and they will be hungry when they consume so much, so many people choose to eat some supper.

If there is a family and girlfriend living with them, the players have to talk for a while, and then they can start resting around 2 o'clock in the evening. If you are away, it is almost impossible to rest before 3 o'clock, and you can only sleep on the plane.

If there is a training session the next day, the players usually have to get up at 8 a.m. In this way, the NBA players only sleep for about 5 hours at night. Of course, this is only on average, and it is normal for some players to go to nightclubs or drink heavily, and they can only sleep during the day, which explains why some people are in good and bad form on the field.

So, BA has an unwritten rule that players don't call around 3 p.m., and most of them take a lunch break during this time. There is also the bus to the airport, and on the plane, these are the time for the players to replenish their sleep.

Some may ask, how did the legend of Kobe Bryant's four o'clock in the morning come about?

It's very simple, it's a legend, Kobe Bryant has practiced like that a few times at most, and long-term training like that is not allowed by the schedule.

Otherwise, do you really think the biggest triple-double in the NBA is 100 points, 25 rebounds and 18 blocks? Do you really think Chamberlain slept with 20,000 women? Do you really think Garnett can touch the top edge of the rebound in a row? Do you really think that the 165CM tall and 60kg weight Boykins bench press 140kg? Do you really think that Jason Kidd was forgetful and was beaten by his wife at home?

Well, the last one is probably true.

In short, too tight schedules and constant late nights can ruin NBA players, and even a night without a good night's sleep can slow down a person's reflexes.

The NBA officials don't care about this, they are considering changing the NBA first round to a best-of-seven system, and in the future, they will expand the army to 30 teams, so that there are more games and more money.
