Chapter 481 [Hanging hard, bursting out]

Damon Jones slowly dribbled the ball to the front court under the interference of Payton, and passed it to the side Rasheed first.

The Heat players made adjustments spontaneously, the zone defense switched positions, and Haslem went to the middle to defend Yao Ming.

However, Haslem's height is only 203CM, but his strength is relatively strong. He can't be like O'Neal, whose strength is so strong that Yao Ming's rhythm with the ball is affected.

Yao Ming received the ball and leaned against Haslem, turned to the right again and made a jumper, easily dodging the block, and the ball went into the net hollow.

22 to 6, Yao Ming scored 11 points in a row, scoring 8 points in a row.

Stan Van Gundy asked for a timeout again. Just now, he roared at the players on the sidelines, dissatisfied that the players always let Yao Ming catch the ball easily.The players felt very wronged. The joint defense was clearly arranged by Fan Fat. The Heat had one big and four small. Except for O'Neal, who could stop the giant Yao Ming from catching the ball?
Van Gundy replaced Haslem and replaced Bryan Grant to defend Yao Ming.Replaced Rasu Butler on the outside, replaced Payton, added a three-point shooting point, and let Wade play the 1st position.

Lasu is just a substitute, a second-round rookie in 2002. He has good shooting ability. Last season, his three-point shooting rate was 46.3%.

After the timeout, Yang Rui saw the adjustment and immediately rushed to the court and shouted: "The next round of offense will be a pick-and-roll!"

The Heat attacked, the Lakers blocked the penalty area with four people, O'Neal received the ball and arched hard inside, and forcibly turned to the middle to take off and dunk, but was pulled by Yao Ming.Yao Ming couldn't hold O'Neal, but he could still do it.

On the Internet, there has been a legend that O'Neal can dunk with a person on his body, which does not include Yao's name.

O'Neal made one of two free throws, 22-7.

The Lakers attacked. Damon Jones passed the ball to Kobe, who was shielded by Rasheed and received the ball. Because it was a zone defense, he did not create a direct shot. After Eddie Jones was blocked, Wade immediately switched defenses. Out of the three-point line in the middle, the second block was carried out.

After Kobe got rid of Wade, he took a step laterally and made a 70-degree jumper on the left for a three-pointer. Grant was slow to switch defenses. His lateral speed was a weakness.

The opportunity came, and Rasu Butler was led away by Damon Jones. The distance was relatively far, and he was unable to interfere with the shot. However, Kobe's shot was a little stronger, and the bullet came out of the box, and O'Neal grabbed the rebound.

The Heat can't be happy about this, the Lakers are shooting too high, and this is just the first shot missed.

The Heat attacked, and there were not many ways to break the zone defense. O'Neal received the ball again and entered the penalty area. This time, he was double-teamed by three people, and Rasheed also withdrew. The penalty area was full of people.Even O'Neal would not choose to force a shot in this situation, and the ball was given to the perimeter Rasu.

Rasu just came on the court, and there was no activity. The open three-pointer missed the basket. Yao Ming blocked O'Neal and Rashid grabbed the rebound.

It can also be seen from the rebounding aspect that O'Neal is getting old. He is now averaging only 10 rebounds per game, barely in double figures, setting a new career low. His scoring average is only 23.2 points per game, and his explosiveness and physical strength are declining.

The Lakers attacked, Jones passed the ball to Kobe, Kobe and Yao Ming played a pick-and-roll in the middle, got rid of Eddie Jones, and made a pull-up jumper inside the three-point line.

24 to 7, Bryant's 8th personal score.

O'Neal is going crazy, he has no use on the defensive end, the Lakers don't play in the penalty area and avoid him.The Lakers also did not have a big man to grab offensive rebounds, and if they failed to make a shot, they would return to defense to ensure that the zone defense would be placed, so that the Heat could not fight back.

There is no way to get down quickly. The only way for the Heat to break the zone defense is O'Neal's low-position attack, which attracts opponents to double-team and separate the perimeter, creating good shooting opportunities for teammates.

The Lakers followed closely with the two outside shooters, shorted Wade or Grant, and the two dealt with O'Neal.

The future "Flash" Wade's current basket is too poor, and it is common to be left empty. If the team lacks the three-pointer to open, he will not be able to play.

Facing the interference of Rasheed and Yao Ming, O'Neal couldn't squeeze to the basket for a dunk. He missed a one-handed throw and Yao Ming grabbed the rebound.

Grant was empty, but his teammates didn't pass the ball. It wasn't O'Neal alone, but Grant couldn't score. This year, his mid-range shot was gone, and his explosiveness was poor. Afraid of a 206CM person like him attacking?

If there is a player on the court who can let loose, the offense will be difficult to play, and it will be even more difficult to break the zone defense.

The Lakers don't have this problem. Kobe and Yao Ming played pick-and-rolls. Grant switched defenses in time this time. Kobe and Yao Ming opened the distance for singles and broke the Heat's joint defense.

Eddie Jones let go of Yao Ming and went after Kobe, not to double-team, let alone Kobe who is in his prime now, even the rookie Kobe in 1998, it was not something that Grant could prevent.

Kobe passed the ball to high-ranking Yao Ming, O'Neal saved it to interfere, Yao Ming jumped up and passed the ball to the basket with a shooting motion, slightly higher than the basket, Iguodala cut from the bottom line, unguarded, and emptied Catch the ball with the right hand, smash and dunk into the frame vigorously! 26 to 7.

Smith shouted: "My God, it's too high! Iguodala's head is almost over the basket, and this combination is likely to be the best goal of the round!"

Barkley said: "O'Neal defends out, the inside line is empty, if he doesn't go out, Yao Ming can shoot directly from the outside. Except for Damon Jones, everyone in the Lakers scored. The game has only started 6 minutes. The quarter is likely to be over 50 points."

Stan Van Gundy roared again and again on the sideline, dissatisfied with the player's defense, but he has called two timeouts, and it is difficult to call a third time in a row.Everyone who watched this game felt that Van Gundy was severely beaten by Yang Rui in terms of tactics.

The current Stan Van Gundy really has no tactics at all. He relies on star offense and zone defense on defense.

In Yang Rui's previous life, in the 2005-2006 season, the Heat introduced Antoine Walker, Jason Williams, James Posey, and Payton on the bench. The two stars of Germany and O'Neal seem to have a very strong lineup. As a result, they played in a mess after the start of the game, with 10 wins and 10 losses.

"Golden Operator" Pat Riley couldn't bear it anymore, cut Stan Van Gundy, came back as a coach, reused Wade, reduced O'Neal's playing time, and won the championship all the way in the playoffs.

The same lineup, Riley led the team to win the championship, Van Gundy led the team is a piece of shit, the gap is so big.

When coaching the Magic, Van Gundy's tactics were not rich, that is, side screens, Turkoglu play forward, "Warcraft" Howard, the best blue-collar rebounding, defense.

The Magic made it to the finals in 2009 because the overall lineup was strong enough, and it mainly depended on the individual abilities of the players.Redick and Gortat were both used by him as substitutes and could not show their strength.

The Lakers had a strong attack in the opening game, and Van Gundy couldn't stand it when he ran out of "three axes". The outcome of the first quarter was a foregone conclusion.

Yao Ming took two offenses to rest in 7 minutes. Yang Rui did not replace Lamar Odom, but sent the meat shield center Diop to defend O'Neal, making it even more difficult for the Heat to attack.Bryant and Rasheed played pick-and-rolls to ensure the attacking firepower. Damon Jones had the easiest task. He waited for his teammates to attract double-team passes and also hit two three-pointers.

The Lakers failed to score 50 points in the first quarter, but they were amazing enough, leading 47 to 19, sending the Heat out.
