Chapter 167 [Murder the veteran, mentally unbalanced]
Hardaway is an instant player who only joined the NBA after graduating from college at the age of 23. He won privileges with the Warriors in his second season of his career. In the 91-92 season, he scored peak data, averaged 23.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals per game, averaged 19.7 shots, hit 9.1, and shot 46.1%.
Hardaway's top two seasons were the top ten, and he knew how terrible it would be if such a person who dared to vote found it.
Looking at Guo Xu, he seemed to see himself when he was young. Guo Xu was even more difficult to deal with because he was surrounded by the "ok combination" and the Heat teammates could not help double-team him.
There are two stars around you who dare to take action continuously. People with this personality generally only have two development directions, one is a cancer, and the other is a super giant. The coach does not stop, and Guo Xu dares to make a dozen shots in one quarter.
He dribbled the ball under his crotch and then swayed gently to the left and changed direction. Hardaway followed this step. He immediately dribbled the ball behind his left hand and gave it to his right hand. He moved the ball across the side and took a step back with his right foot. He leaned back slightly 70 degrees on the right side and made a three-pointer.
Hardaway's horizontal movement speed was slow, while Guo Xu was extremely flexible. He continued horizontal action to attack the enemy's shortness with his own strength. Hardaway jumped half a beat and looked as if his defense was in place. In fact, when he reached in front of Guo Xu, the ball had already flew to the basket.
This is Guo Xu's most accurate position, and he scored another one! 19 to 11, with the 13th score.
Hovas shouted: "Jason's shooting is too accurate. Hardaway will be in if he doesn't feel like he's blocking. The Heat must limit his point."
Woodson smiled: "In the draft, many people said that Mike Miller was the best three-pointer in this class. Miller himself dared not say this. He had competed with Jason in the NCAA final and was still scared when he was interviewed."
"Shot shooting is also a talent, and Jason is a genius in this regard, and with excellent ball control, it is difficult for opponents to guard against it."
There is no shortage of geniuses in the world, but what is lacking is hard-working people.
Including the time loop, Guo Xu has been practicing long shots for nearly 5 years since he was reborn. Even though he doesn’t practice shooting every day, the total number of practices is far more than that of ordinary people. The training volume is comparable to that of NBA top pitchers. It would be strange if he is not accurate.
Moreover, he often uses his own flexibility to play shooting space, and his phone will be better than those big men who are pushing against others. For example, Kobe has been practicing three-pointers in the team, but he is not accurate in the game. Because of the serious interference, the big men are also defending him.
Hardaway dribbled to the frontcourt, dribbled the ball with a continuous change of direction and jumped on the jump. He wanted to have another one outside the three-point line, but was disturbed by Guo Xu. Brian rushed to grab the offensive rebound and scored two points from a close distance.
The Lakers attacked, Guo Xu brought him to the frontcourt, Hardaway was close to him and vowed not to let him take action easily.
O'Neal covered Guo Xu outside the three-point line. He took a walk for half and didn't run to the low post. He did the pick-and-roll by the way.
Guo Xu got rid of Hardaway and went to the right. Brian was afraid that he would shoot another three-pointer, so he quickly changed defense. Guo Xu did not make any fake moves and relied on a quick hand-changing dribble below his knees, and accelerated and passed Brian.
Even if his speed is not as good as Iverson, he is in the same level as the "Little Flying Squirrel" Stardameier.
Bowen let go of the bottom corner Fox to make up for defense. Fox was experienced and shouted at Guo Xu.
Fox's voice is magnetic and sexy. When he shouts, people get goose bumps all over his body. Because of this characteristic, he quickly found a job in the film and television industry after retiring.
Guo Xu passed the ball in the sound, and Fox caught the ball and made a three-pointer.
22-11, Guo Xu was the first assist.
With 5 minutes and 49 seconds left, Heat coach Pat Riley took the lead in requesting a timeout.
The Heat lacks super scorers, the team's scoring ability is average, and winning mainly depends on defense. Today, their defense line is in chaos, and you will definitely lose without adjustment.
Without Mo Ning, the Heat would have lost the backbone. He is not only the best defensive player, but also the team's spiritual leader. The Heat can currently rank third in the Eastern Conference, not because of its strong strength, but because after Jordan retired, the overall strength of the Eastern Conference team was weak and began to show a pattern of strong West and weak East.
Woodson said expectantly: "I don't know if Jason can continue to perform like this after the timeout. He completely suppressed Hardaway. I think the veterans at the No. 1 position don't want to meet such a rookie, it's too exciting."
"If he keeps this, he can score 40+ today, after Iverson, no rookie defender can score 40 points in the rookie season."
Woodson smiled and said, "I think this is very likely. If the Heat replace Hardaway, they will have to send Anthony Carter. I don't know whether he can defend against Jason. As soon as he gets on the Heat's offense, he will definitely become worse."
Jackson did not adjust his lineup or tactics, but just emphasized the defense, so that O'Neal would be more aggressive in defense and not allow people to easily jump shots to score.
"Jason, when facing Hardaway, you can continue to attack with the ball. If the Heat substitute and strictly prevent you, or double-team you, you will pass the ball to Kobe on the wing, and Kobe can attack with the ball or lob the ball to Shackle at a low post."
The tactic of "Zen Master" is to fight one-on-one. In the past, it was a "ok combination" to fight one-on-one, but now there is another choice. He feels that this Lakers are already invincible, with more offensive points than the peak Bulls he has led, and it is a combination of inside and outside.
The Heat did not make any substitutions. Riley asked Hardaway to be tighter on the outside. When Guo Xu broke through with cover, the inside should switch defense in time and never let him shoot another three-pointer. When O'Neal received the ball, the other players contracted into the penalty area, and the point guard focused on Guo Xu.
Riley's defensive system looks like a person-to-people, but in fact it is a pseudo-joint defense. Many old-school coaches will do this. Players shrink to four corners of the penalty area and can form double-teams near the penalty area. When they go out, they can also interfere with shooting.
Now Riley regards Guo Xu as a major threat. Fox and Kobe can take two steps outside the three-point line. Guo Xu is not good. As long as he is given enough space, he can really throw himself to the Heat.
The game continued, Hardaway and Brian played pick-and-roll and got out of Guo Xu, broke through and made a layup on the right. O'Neal was a little more active, and replaced the defense and gave Hardaway a big hat from the side, and the ball was picked up by Kobe.
There was a misalignment on the court, and Guo Xu threw away Brian at full speed and rushed through the half. Kobe sent out a precise long pass. Guo Xu turned his head and took the basketball with both hands while running, took two steps, and jumped up with both feet in the penalty area. There was a clear movement of raising the ball and shrinking the body in the air. The basketball was dunked in with both hands and landed smoothly.
24 to 11, Guo Xu scored 15th.
Woodson shouted: "Beautiful cooperation, Jason is in great shape, I feel that he is dancing higher than before."
It’s not like he jumped higher than before, and he could easily dunk.
Hardaway began to have an imbalance in his mind, and suddenly felt that he was old and was useless. He dribbled under his crotch and took a step-and-step jump shot from his three-pointer. The offensive choice was very simple. He missed again under Guo Xu's interference, and O'Neal grabbed the backcourt rebound.
Riley shook his head on the sidelines, with a serious expression, and with the face of the gangster godfather, he seemed to want to kill Hardaway. He regretted not replacing him just now.
The Lakers attacked, Guo Xu was passed to Kobe by close-kick, Kobe missed a jump shot against Jones, O'Neal grabbed the frontcourt rebound and made a second dunk. He was too close to the basket, so Brian did not dare to foul, and he couldn't hold it back and was 2+1.
26-11, the Lakers opened the score with a wave of flowing. Riley roared on the sidelines, dissatisfied with Brian not fouling. He could only substitute the ball when he died, and Hardaway obviously couldn't do it.
