Legend of Tomorrow

Guo Xu forced a breakthrough from the right, but Hardaway followed up. He jumped over Hardaway's head and passed the ball to O'Neal in the low post.

Defenders jumping up and passing the ball are generally taboo on the court and are prone to mistakes. Guo Xu did it today, which is okay. Hardaway is a floor player with a height of 183cm. Bryan, who is guarding O'Neal, is one size smaller. It is impossible to squeeze away the fat man. Reach out to steal the ball.

O'Neal took a step after receiving the ball, put his hands behind his head, and passed it to Fox, who was cutting from the right corner to the basket. The latter received the ball and squeezed Bowen away, then went up to the basketball and scored. 9 to 2.

The Heat attacked, and after several passes, the ball reached Jones' hands. This time, he relied on Brian's off-ball screen to get rid of the ball and hit the mid-range shot. O'Neal did not change the defense and left the penalty area. Kobe's pursuit was slow and the ball was scored. 9 to 4.

Guo Xu couldn't completely ignore O'Neal. He continued to challenge himself, dribbling the ball to the frontcourt and passing it to the low post. Fox made an air cut to receive O'Neal's pass, and repeated the tactical routine just now.

The Lakers players played the triangle offense very well. Fox moved to give up the right corner to Guo Xu. This time he cut through the ball without a chance to make a move, relying on Bowen to pass to Grant who was on the weak side.

O'Neal only needs to run two steps and change to the low post on the left to ask for the ball. He can form a triangle with Grant and Fox in the left corner, catch the ball and attack in the low post, attracting double-teams and passing the ball.

O'Neal was lazy today and did not run on the right side. Grant protected the ball and took a step forward and passed it to Kobe who ran to the middle to receive the ball.

Kobe held the ball to the right and formed a triangle with Guo Xu in the bottom corner and O'Neal in the low post. At this time, he can pass the ball to the low post, or he can choose to hold the ball alone. The Heat players cannot double-team, and he can pass the ball with the double-team to find the open space.

The best thing about the triangle offense is that it always creates one-on-one opportunities for players, allowing them to use their strengths.

Kobe singled out Jones and turned to the center to make a pull-up jumper. Due to interference, Bryant missed the shot and Brian grabbed a rebound from the backcourt.

When the Heat attacked, they still used the inside style of play. Mason received the ball in the high post to provide support, Bowen ran to the right from the left corner, and Grant blocked Fox with a ball-free screen under the basket. O'Neal failed to defend near the penalty area. Fox was slow to pursue the defense. Mason passed the ball to the right corner in time. Bowen caught the ball and hit a three-pointer. 9 to 7.

The Heat caught up with the score in two rounds. Without Mourning, they relied on overall cooperation and were still a strong team in the playoffs.

The pick-and-roll tactic is the most basic of the many tactics in basketball, but it is also the one with the most changes. This tactic is a little boring, but it's really effective. Some defensive players give up chasing or switching defenses after being blocked by the screener, which allows the power of pick-and-roll tactics to be unleashed.

It tests the defensive attitude of the players.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Karl Malone, who was famous for his pick-and-roll skills, once said in an interview who he thought was the worst at guarding the pick-and-roll.

Maybe they will be unhappy to say this, but I have to say that O'Neal and Barkley are definitely the worst big men in the history of guarding pick-and-rolls. Malone said: Their individual defense capabilities are not bad, but they are too lazy. Once After being blocked, we will choose to give up and not try our best to defend the moving target. Therefore, every time we play against them, we will choose pick-and-roll tactics at critical moments, which must make them crazy.

O'Neal is such a fat man that people love to hate. If he worked harder, the Lakers would win many more games in the regular season. Fortunately, he will work hard when entering the playoffs. It may also be to play less games and take an early vacation.

Of course, it is also beneficial for O'Neal to only be active near the penalty area. It is a nightmare for teams that mainly attack inside. The fat man will cover the entire penalty area, forcing these inside players who are good at attacking to shoot far from the basket.

When the Lakers attacked, Guo Xu dribbled to the frontcourt, glanced at Kobe on the right, and suddenly pulled up a three-pointer from the middle.

He wanted to return one, but he shot a little too hastily. Hardaway didn't cover it, but the ball missed the basket.

O'Neal squeezed Brian, unable to jump himself and making his opponent unable to jump either. He used his height and wingspan to push the ball away. Grant grabbed the offensive rebound from the left corner and passed the ball to the outside for him to run to the left. Guo Xu with a side angle of 70 degrees.

Without any hesitation, Guo Xu caught the ball and immediately made a jump shot and a three-pointer. Hardaway thought he had just made a shot and would choose to pass the ball this time, lowering his center of gravity and focusing on preventing breakthroughs. As a result, his takeoff was half a beat slower, which was only a slight interference.

This time Guo Xu seized the opportunity and hit another three-pointer, 12-7. This was his 10th personal point, 4 of 5 shots.

Guo Xu couldn't help but start to stop thinking of himself as a point guard. He hasn't played a formal game in the past two years. Even if he wants to assist his teammates, he may not be able to do it well, but his one-on-one ability has reached a whole new level. , no matter who the defender is, he dares to shoot!

Riley could hardly stand it any longer and yelled at Hardaway: Tim, follow him! Stay close to him!

It's right to defend Guo Xu closely, but when Hardaway's speed is obviously at a disadvantage, how easy is it to defend against him? If he is not posted well, he will be passed easily, just like Guo Xu guarding Iverson before the cycle, with no good results.

The Heat attacked, and after Brian screened Hardaway on the right, he received Mason's pass from the center at 45 degrees. He pulled farther outside, keeping a distance from O'Neal, and made a mid-range shot after a feint. 12 to 9.

Jackson folded his arms on the sidelines, squinted his eyes and shook his head slightly. O'Neal was in such bad shape that he was stuck on both offense and defense. Guo Xu's performance was beyond expectations. He was excellent on both offense and defense, and Hardaway had not yet scored a goal.

With Guo Xu in such a brave state, Jackson can certainly accept Guo Xu taking more shots on the offensive end. Before the opponent adjusts their tactics, he can take any shot he wants.

Guo Xu thought the same way. He took the ball to the frontcourt and challenged Hardaway again. He stepped down with his left hand and dribbled the ball to his right hand. He then stepped back and shot a three-pointer to avoid Hardaway's block. The ball missed.

O'Neal guessed that Guo Xu would shoot, squeezed into the basket early, and successfully grabbed the offensive rebound. There was an obvious size difference between Brian and him, and he couldn't get stuck.

O'Neal's monster physique can create a threat even if he is not holding the ball in singles, just go to the basket to grab rebounds. Bryan hurriedly pulled someone for a foul, but was a step too late. O'Neal hit a hook from close range, and the referee blew the whistle 2+1.

Unfortunately, he failed to score the extra penalty, 14-9.

The Heat cooperated with the outside attack. Hardaway and Bryan broke through after pick-and-roll, attracting O'Neal to switch defense and distribute the ball to the middle. Guo Xu also went after the defender, and Brian scored in the open shot. 14 to 11.

When the Lakers attacked, Hardaway followed Riley's request and started to get close to him. He stepped forward to press just after midfield.

Guo Xu relied on the width of the court to protect the basketball and passed it to Kobe who was receiving the ball on the right.

Kobe broke through with the ball, dribbled under his crotch and changed direction, and forced a layup under Jones' defense. The referee's whistle sounded before the ball was thrown, and Jones committed a foul.

Kobe made two solid free throws and scored his first two points. 16 to 11.

The Heat attacked and had no chance to pass the ball several times and had no choice but to play alone. Jones missed a jumper when facing Kobe Bryant. The ball had a low arc and bounced far. Guo Xu picked up the rebound, stabilized the rhythm and settled down to fight, waiting for his teammates to pull away. .

Hardaway saw that he was about to play singles again, and cold sweat began to break out on his back.
