Chapter 217: [I can do it without assistance]

People with self-confidence can turn smallness into greatness and mediocrity into magic.
After the first three rounds of sweeping, the Lakers are not only stars, but also the role players have confidence.
On the offensive end, the biggest difference between the Lakers and the 76ers is how the ball works. Entering the playoffs, the Lakers started with four players averaging more than three assists per game, the least O'Neal averaged three per game, and Kobe and Guo Xu averaged more than five assists per game. In addition, Horry, Brian Shaw, Grant, Fisher can quickly transfer the ball to his teammates.
Looking at the 76ers, all assists come from Iverson, Snow, and McGee. The insiders are all blue-collar. Originally, Kukoc's ability to pass the ball was very strong, and he was able to withdraw the basket. He was sent to the Hawks in the middle.
The Lakers continue to share the ball. Under the control of the Big Three, the role players naturally play more easily and more efficiently.
Mark Woodson, an espn commentator, said: "The Lakers are not under pressure now. They simply don't believe they will lose. This is terrible."
Horvath said: "O'Neal's inside attack is super strong, including his outside Jason and Kobe will have a chance. I feel like I want to beat the Lakers unless the star plays abnormally."
The three represent three positions, three styles of play, and different attack distances, which makes their ball rights allocation good.
If there is only "ok combination", the 76ers can make a pinch, because Kobe is not a three-pointer, and he likes to shoot near the penalty area. If you don't want to take up space inside, Kobe will have to cast a long-range CIC. This is an inefficient way of playing. There is always interference in front of you.
In Guo Xu's previous life, although the 76ers lost 1 to 4 in the finals, the difference in points per game was not large, playing very anxious, relying on Brown's defensive system, the two sides have a fight.
Now the Sixers can't make it anymore. The Lakers have more Guo Xu and less Talonlu. What is this concept?
Tyronlu's offensive ability is not worth mentioning. When he played, Iverson could breathe more defensively and restore his strength. Fisher's offensive end is also determined to wait for the pass, and rarely breaks through, so the pressure on the defensive end of Iverson in the past life is not great. There is no doubt that the defensive pressure of the two teams is the least.
Now against Guo Xu, Iverson's defensive work has doubled. He relaxes a little, and the slower pursuit may lead to the team losing points. The Lakers have one less marginal man, one more star, and still have 20 scoring ability per game.
After stopping, Brown emphasized defensive tactics and replaced Jumein Jones with Snow. Without substitutions, Zhu Mei didn't perform because of both offense and defense. He just ran back and forth, and he didn't even adjust his mentality.
Just after the opening, Brown played the team's hole cards in advance, but it was not timely in terms of on-the-spot response. Snow will not play again, and there is no need to play next.
Brown said to Iverson alone: ​​"Allen, I believe you can beat the rookie and prove that you are the best with action."
Iverson nodded and swallowed unconsciously.
In the first two rounds of the 76ers, they all used the fighting spirit to advance to the seventh round. At that time, they believed that fighting could determine the outcome of the match. This time is different. Everyone can see the difference between the two sides.
Iverson knew very well that Guo Xu's strength was better than every point guard he encountered in the first three rounds, and he was a rival.
Phil Jackson didn't make substitutions or change his tactics. He praised the players for a few words and told them to play like this. Pay attention to passing the ball to O'Neal. The triangle positions are connected in series.
Jackson asked Guo Xu alone: ​​"When Iverson singled out, would you like to defend yourself if you don't live on the field, can you do it?"
Guo Xu smiled confidently: "I can do it without assisting defense. I usually play head-to-head with Kobe. In my opinion, Kobe is stronger than Iverson. I can restrict him one-on-one and wait for him to play pick-and-roll. It ’s time for teammates to help defend. "
Jackson patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "Good speaking."
Guo Xu did not compliment Kobe, let him and Iverson singled out, and the result was definitely better than Kobe Bryant singled out. Kobe can use his height advantage to jump shot, especially he can't do it by turning around and backing up.
Iverson and Guo Xu are both 180cm. The two players are in mutual opposition. It is difficult to get rid of each other. Iverson is not as good as Kobe in shooting. If the past life Iverson played 14 seasons before retiring, the historical iron king may not be Kobe.
The game continued, Snow controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and passed to Iverson who was running without the ball. Grant changed the defense to keep the distance, and the anti-burst did not prevent the shot. Guo Xu caught up from behind to form a bag and stepped forward. Steal.
Iverson has no room to break through, even if he can pass Grant, Guo Xu will catch up, and O'Neill is waiting at the rim, so he chose to score for Tyron.
Telon mid-range cut the ball and stopped the jumper before the free throw line. He had to go one step further and face O'Neill's interference. However, this distance Grant could catch up again, jumped his fingertips and gently touched the basketball, blocking it once.
O'Neal picked up the ball and passed it to Guo Xu. Guo Xu steadily took the halfway through the width of the court. Midway and Grant played a pick-and-roll and left the ball to break through.
Te Yilong knew that Guo Xu was fast and changed his defense to keep up, but he was slower after all, and he couldn't put Guo Xu outside the three-point line. Guo Xu brought it to 45 degrees, and with the afterglow of his eyes, he observed Iverson chasing and defending. He took a step towards Te Elon and pulled the ball up. He found his own hands and passed the ball to the middle.
Grant received the ball from the open and the free throw line made a hit with ease.
19 to 3, Guo Xu's first assist.
Zhang reasonable smiled: "Pretty, Guo Xu attracted misplaced defense, the pass broke the envelope."
Xu Jicheng said: "He behaved like a top pick, and he played better than Iverson in the opening period."
The two were talking about a mistake made by the 76ers. Iverson passed the ball to McGee who slipped the bottom line to the left corner. The latter stepped on the sideline when he turned the ball and the ball was given to the Lakers.
Shooting three-pointers in the corner is closer than three-point attempts made in other areas. Measured by numbers, the three-pointer at the bottom corner is 671cm away from the basket, which is 53cm less than the three-pointer at the top of the arc. The player moves quickly from the bottom line to the other side using the screen to the nearest distance ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The angle of turning and catching the ball is smaller than 45 degrees and the middle position, so it is easier for the pitcher, It will increase the hit rate accordingly.
In addition, in the half field position, the bottom line position and two 45 degrees are called x points by nba. The inside line hits one and the outside line has 4 x points. The space and distance between each other are maximized, so when the ball is transferred to these positions, the opponent's defensive distance is the farthest, and the space and time for the shot are corresponding Calmly. If there are opportunities for the two corners of the bottom line, the opponent's outside line needs to be rotated at least twice to be in place, which also increases the chance of the defender making mistakes.
Therefore, corner shooting is a position that all teams will practice, and the 76ers are no exception.
There is only one shortcoming of these two corner catches, that is, the distance between the three-point line and the sideline is only about 80cm. For a person with a normal height of 180cm, the shoe size is generally 4143. Fortunately, a person with a height of more than 190cm is too big. If he accidentally catches the ball, he will step on the line and violate the law.
Larry Brown shook his head straight on the sidelines. McKee made this mistake obviously because he was anxious and wanted a faster shot. If the player's mentality goes wrong, the game can't be played.
