Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 165: [Revisit Xinshou Village, no rookie wall]

Horace Grant cut free, pressed Mason to grab an offensive rebound and passed it to O'Neal who went deep into the basket.

O'Neal pushed Brian on the right side, jumped his hands and dunked and dunked the ball. Mason grabbed a defensive rebound.

Hardaway dribbled to the frontcourt, and the cross step was blocked by Guo Xu's traverse. He leaned back, Guo Xu didn't move, he turned to the right and broke through, hitting Guo Xuhuai again, the tempo of the dribble was Disrupted almost mistakes, and rushed to Mason.

Hardaway used to be the originator of the NBA crotch dribble change. The iconic action attracted various players to imitate, but now he can't do it. After two injuries, the explosive power is not as good as before, and the breakthrough has no power. Guo Xufang is much more relaxed than Kobe, and feels no pressure at all.

As early as in the 1998-1999 season, Hardaway's state declined severely, scoring mainly relied on the outside to shoot a cold arrow and a jumper after a pick-and-roll, and the shooting rate was not high.

Last season, he averaged 13.4 points and 7.4 assists per game. His field goal percentage was only 38.6%, his three-point percentage was 36.7%, and he averaged 2.6 free throws per game. He played even worse in the playoffs, averaging 7.7 points, 2.1 rebounds and 4.7 assists in 26 minutes in 7 games, shooting 29.4% from the field, 20.6% from the 3-point range, and averaging only 1.4 free throws per game.

As soon as the ball passed, Hardaway couldn't get it back. Guo Xu followed closely, and he didn't run much to save his energy.

After passing for 20 seconds, Bryan pulled outside, receiving the ball in the face of O'Neal's interference and missed the shot. The rebound was grabbed by Horace and passed to Guo Xu.

In the frontcourt, Horace wanted another midfield pick and roll. Guo Xu used a secret signal to let him go to the side, directly holding the ball and heading off.

He dribble the ball to his left hand with a crotch, and lightly explore the left shoulder to make a fake movement to break to the left, and then slap the ball with his left hand to the right side.

Hardaway was too familiar with this trick crossover and moved in front of Guo Xu. But it was not over yet. Guo Xu gave the left hand behind the right hand and gave the left hand. The left foot strode out and changed direction again.

Guo Xu has improved significantly in terms of technical connection, and he has completed the change of direction subconsciously. In the time loop, he ca n’t get rid of Kobe ’s entanglement a little slower, and his dribble training is extremely skilled.

Hardaway's traverse was almost gone, and was passed in one step. Guo Xu stopped a jumper near the free throw line and scored 2-0.

The Heat attacked. Hardaway and Brian blocked the split. Brian had no chance to face O'Neal and passed it to Eddie Jones.

Jones threatened to break the bottom line after three threats on the right. Kobe Bryant followed to the side. Jones forced a layup and missed the rim. O'Neal scored the rebound.

In the Lakers' positional battle, Guo Xu took the frontcourt and waited for his teammates to pull away, holding the ball singles.

He dribble the crotch to his right hand, and his right shoulder glances, turning the ball to the left. The same fake, he changed the side to do.

Hardaway shifted to keep up, keeping a step and a half. Guo Xuqiu took the ball with his left hand and dribble it. He quickly hit Hardaway and shot the ball to his right hand. After the racket was relatively backward, he turned to the right and took a big step on his right foot to start the man at full speed.

This is due to changes in speed and rhythm to attract the opponent's center of gravity forward, and then change direction, Hardaway did not want to go forward to steal, but his speed is too slow Guo Xu, the retreat affects the lateral shift, and still can't keep up.

Guo Xu stopped the jumper near the free throw line and scored 4-0.

He rarely shoots three-pointers against Kobe. He either makes a layup or a midrange shot. By the way, he improves the percentage of midrange shots in several positions. Regardless of whether it is a man-to-man or a double-team, in order to deal with O'Neill, it is difficult for the inside to make up for defense.

After scoring two goals in a row, Guo Xu felt that scoring was too easy. It simply made him a little unbelievable. Hardaway's defense was slag. In the face of this intensity, he could score 100 points with unlimited shots.

Because there was no match on January 3, Guo Xu was unable to cooperate with his teammates to practice the pass. The main practice was physical fitness and heads-up.

Accustomed to Kobe's defensive strength, Guo Xu's counterpoint veteran is like challenging the boss of the devil, and found that the next level has returned to the novice village, and it is only a village chief who needs to clean up.

Riley, who is known as the "golden counter", frowned on the sidelines. The Lakers didn't play cards according to the routine. He had arranged the system to deal with O'Neill and Kobe. If Guo Xu played like this, it would be hard to handle the heat.

For several consecutive seasons, the Heat ’s biggest weakness on the defensive end was Tim Hardaway. He was selected to the All-Star five times. He was selected to the All-NBA First Team in 1997, three second team, and many personal honors, but no one has ever said that he is defensive. Well, many defenders can score high on his head.

After being elected as the defensive player of the year, Mo Ning made his remarks and turned into a player: "I want to thank my teammates, they can always be easily broken through by their opponents." He is actually not kidding, but he is angry. He was elected the best defensive player for two consecutive seasons, but the Heat did not go far in the playoffs.

Mourning is talking about Hardaway with a height of 183CM, and it's definitely not Marshburn, PJ Brown, or Damalli.

Every time he enters the playoffs, Hardaway's performance will be very bad, far less than the regular season, the offense is optional, he did not score in double figures in the previous two. Hardaway's weight has increased to 84 kg this year, and the traverse speed is slower.

Riley is well aware of the Heat's weakness. Once he meets a team with a strong point guard, he will deflate. Against the Lakers, he can only hope that "Master Zen" Jackson will ignore this and let the "OK combination" attack.

Hardaway was still at least two years ago, he was eager to help the Heat win the championship, playing harder. When a player scores on his head, he will want to return one, especially when facing young people. Now that Moning is reimbursed, there is no hope for this season. He can't lift his energies at all. He passed it to Jones after halftime, and no longer tries to play Guo Xu.

The Heat's two insiders are not tall and have the ability to shoot. They can withdraw the basket and help the outside teammates create opportunities. Jones received three threats on the right side of the ball and made a layup after a protruding bottom line, causing Kobe's foul.

Jones made two free throws, 4-2.

When the Lakers attacked, Guo Xu still didn't pass to the frontcourt. After his teammates picked up the heads-up, he was absolutely confident to create an easy mobile phone meeting and firmly believed that his scoring efficiency would be high.

Hardaway lowered the center of gravity and maintained a one and a half distance defense. This time Guo Xu's dribble to the right hand did not change direction, then took the right foot and withdrew ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ to grab a three-pointer.

Hardaway's reaction was slow, only a slight interference from reaching out, Guo Xu's shot pressure was not great, the arc was perfect, the ball was hollow into the net! 7 to 2.

Woodson cried: "In the opening, Jason Guo scored 7 points. Not only was he not affected by the defeat in the last game, but he played more resolutely. He didn't cooperate with his teammates, he just picked Hardaway with the ball."

Horvaz praised: "I think he will become an All-Star player in the future, and he will give him this self-confidence for nothing else. It's a blast for other rookies. I don't know how long it will take to adjust, and there seems to be no rookie wall in front of him. . "

The Heat's offense must rely on the overall play. No player on the field is a heads-up strong point. If Jones has been holding the ball singles Kobe is a terrible choice.

Several players passed back and forth, almost 24 seconds did not make time, Mason received the ball from a high position, forcibly broke the layup under Grant's interference, Fox grabbed a rebound in the backcourt.

Guo Xu controlled the ball to the frontcourt. Many home fans felt their hearts were lifted. Can Hardaway prevent this time?
