Chapter 168: [Rookie forty +, grab the limelight! 】


Brian Grant looked at Riley on the sidelines, his eyes innocent. Before the game, Riley emphasized that he was allowed to control the number of fouls. Because the Heat suffered from injuries and injuries, there were not many people who could use the inside. If he fouled more, he would surrender.
The current situation is that the Heat 1 has been exploded, the offense is not from the inside out, and Brian does not make much sense to control the foul. After all, he is just a blue collar, not good at adjusting at any time according to the situation on the court.
The Heat is attacking. Players are constantly looking for opportunities in the periphery. There is still 4 seconds of attack time. The ball is hit by the Grant to the sideline and enters the dead ball. Riley took advantage of this opportunity to replace Hardaway and replace Anthony Carter.
As a result, the Heat has one less offensive point.
After the out-of-bounds shot, Mason singled Horace from the free throw line, forcibly shot with his body leaning forward, and pressed his opponent's ball forward. 26 to 13.
This kind of ball is blind. If the Heat plays so hard every round, you have to enter garbage time at halftime.
The Lakers attacked, Guo Xu was not so easy to single out, Carter tried to find a confrontation, and his defensive attitude was far better than veteran Hardaway.
Although the names and surnames all sound stars, Anthony Carter, who is 185 cm tall and weighs 86 kg, has not had a smooth road into the NBA. He was born in 1975 and joined the NBA at the base salary last season. 6.3 points, 2.5 rebounds and 4.8 assists.
Although Carter's talent is not high, but training hard, impressed Riley, who is famous for "torturing" players in training classes.
He defensively defended on the court, known as the "stupid bird". In Guo Xu's previous life, he had an ordinary offensive ability and was reimbursed for three serious injury seasons. He still mixed in the league for 13 seasons, relying on attitude.
He is a good man from a slum. The living environment is unimaginable to the average person. In the past, he was used by a drug dealer to play with a gun against his head. After he entered the NBA, he often went to meet the poor and orphans. In the eyes of the children in the slums, he was a big star. He has to fight hard, every effort to fight for a better contract in the NBA.
Facing the brown sugar defense, Guo Xu will be on the blacklist of the coaching team again. He will start to pass the ball, attract the defense outside the three-point line, and watch the performances of O'Neal and Kobe.
The OK combination attracted the teammates and passed to other players. Fox hit a three-pointer. Guo Xu only shot again in the counterattack. After passing Carter's emergency stop jumper, he was replaced in the last two minutes.
The Lakers led 37 to 21 in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, Riley gave Hardaway a break to play off the bench. Jackson also replaced Guo Xu. A simple adjustment made the opponent very uncomfortable.
Hardaway needs teammates to cooperate and lacks confidence in heads-up competition; Guo Xu makes his teammates pull apart, as long as the opponent does not take the lead and heads-up, it is clear who is strong and who is weak.
Whether Guo Xu makes a breakthrough or retreats, he can always create a mobile phone session. In the first six rounds, he made four three-pointers and hit two goals. He counterattacked a layup and scored a total of 8 points. He attracted a double pass and Bowen missed from the open.
Madsen, George, Ryan Bowen, Horry are mainly responsible for defense, and the offensive end has opened opportunities. The task of holding the ball to Guo Xu is a bit like the 76ers.
The Heat players played more teams, but only Mason scored 4 points on 2 of 2 shots, and the original Lakers veteran AC Green scored 2 points on the cast. The gap between points continued to widen.
Hardaway made a midrange shot and a three-pointer missed the basket under Guo Xu's interference.
Woodson sighed: "As long as O'Neal and Kobe are away, Jason dares to throw up, and he advances very fast, completing an attack in less than 10 seconds. The Lakers have never played like this in previous seasons."
Hovas said: "When the star teammates play, he can also wait for opportunities outside the three-point line, not a tumor."
After the dead ball, Riley was forced to replace Hardaway and replace Carter. In two rounds, Guo Xuzhong Road and Horry played a pick-and-roll, attracting the ball to pass the lane after the defense was changed. Horry made a three-pointer and the difference was widened to more than 20 points.
After that, the two sides changed their main force one after another, and the Lakers unexpectedly fell in the second half, mainly due to O'Neal's poor offensive performance. The Heat used the "shark-cutting tactics", O'Neal went to the free throw line again and again, the game was intermittent, and the audience was drowsy.
The Heat relied on Dan Marley and Green to recover a few points, 16 points behind halftime.
Guo Xu scored 23 points and 2 assists in the half, and then played against Hardaway in the second half.
He played for 8 minutes and his shooting percentage dropped. He made 2 of 5 shots, 1 of 3 3-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and 30 points and 3 assists in three quarters.
Hardaway made 1 of 5 shots, 3 of 3 from the 3-point line, and 1 of 1 free throws. Hardaway's only goal was not to face Guo Xu's defense, fake Brian Shaw shot 2 + 1.
The Lakers led 20 points into the final quarter, which is basically garbage time.
"Zen Master" Jackson arranged the OK combination to rest, Guo Xu continued to play with the bench, the rhythm was controlled by himself, meaning that he could throw it casually.
Jackson likes to watch the players release themselves, he will not force the players to complete any fixed tasks, especially Guo Xu and Kobe like players who like chaos, too many regulations will limit their play.
If Jackson was not the coach, Kobe would probably not have those 40+ consecutive games, 50+ in four consecutive games, 62 points in three quarters, and 81 points in a single game. The prerequisite for players to score high points is unlimited Shot.
Riley also sent Hardaway and Guo Xu to match up, and the big score was behind. Riley no longer expected to win this time, simply let Hardaway also play casually, the players soared, this is what fans want to see .
Riley did this to investigate Hardaway and see if he can meet the team's requirements in his current state. If not, after the end of the season, his first thing is to sweep Hardaway away.
As a business league in the NBA, the management of many teams lacks human touch, and Riley happens to be one of the most snobbish. He didn't realize that Hardaway made any contribution to the Heat. The team has not made the finals in recent years.
If a player's defense is poor and the offensive end can no longer be used, there is no use value at all. Riley has great rights in the Heat, and always looks at issues from the perspective of interests.
Both point guards played for 5 minutes, Guo Xu made 4 of 8 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and got 12 points and 1 assist, helping the Lakers continue to expand their lead.
Hardaway made 1 of 5 shots, 2 of 3 3-pointers ~ EbookFREE.me ~ 0 of 2 free throws, got 3 points and 1 rebound, without assists.
Hardaway was broken through again and again, and he became angry and was replaced by Guo Xu after fouling. Guo Xu also played the audience after finishing two free throws.
In the second half, both sides sent full benches to play, taking turns to play the iron, no point to watch, many home fans chose to leave early.
Woodson commented: "The Heat are offensively weak in the face of a really strong team. If they rely on defense to win, they will not be able to win the championship."
Horvas agreed: "I think the Heat must be rebuilt, and they need young people who can take responsibility."
In the last quarter, the Lakers scored 24 points, the Heat only 12 points, the Lakers 111 to 79 away victory.
Guo Xu played 35 minutes, made 15 of 28 shots, 8 of 15 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 42 points and 4 assists.
He played 40+ in his rookie season and grabbed the limelight of the OK combination.
