When the Heat attacked, Woshan Leonard's jump shot from close range was disturbed by Zhang Hao.

When retreating, the Heat communicated how to adjust the defense while retreating.

The Lakers attacked. This time, the Heat retreated more actively, emptying James Robinson. Wilkins received the ball and passed it to James Robinson, who missed the three-pointer!

Looking back, Tim Hardaway scored a single shot to Dan Marley who cut to the bottom line. Barkley rushed to make up for defense, knocking Dan Marley over, the referee whistle and a defensive foul!

The Lakers did not call for a timeout, nor did they make substitutions. Silver Fox still has to continue to see the situation.

However, Heat coach Pat Riley stood up and frowned and looked at Dan Marley's free throw.

Both free throws were made, 17-16, and the Heat took a 1-point lead.

The Lakers attacked again. The last time the defense was very successful, the Heat continued to increase the intensity of the contraction and find a confrontation. Barkley received the ball and passed it to James Robinson. The latter's catch-up three-pointer... This time, he entered!

Del Harris stood up and clenched his fists and shouted "Oye" in secret. This ball is very important!

Instead of sending Brian Shaw and O'Neal, this lineup was sent out, just to rely on the most stable players in the team's current team's shooting.

Last summer, the logo man signed James Robinson. All he wanted was James Robinson's stable three-pointer in the past two years, which played a role tonight!

Looking back, the Heat received the ball from the bottom line and passed it directly to the basket to PJ Brown's high hit. The Heat made a single pass and then passed it again. This round was pretty good.

When the Lakers attacked, the Heat no longer dared to let James Robinson go straight to shrink, but Woshan Leonard, who was defending the Magic, blocked and stopped Wilkins' cutting.

Zhang Hao received the ball in the top arc and turned and made a strong step, making PJ Brown dare not retract, and then passed the ball to the Magician who cut in. The Magician received the ball and turned around and hooked up in response to Isaac Austin's backup defense... Hit!

Lived!

The Lakers' offense is alive!

Just when the fans were finally getting excited because of the wonderful offensive battle, Heat coach Pat Riley called for a timeout!

The fans on the scene were surprised. The game was so smooth, so why did the oil-headed man ask for a timeout?

The players on the court were also surprised, including the Heat players, who played very smoothly.

But someone still knows the meaning of the God's Purposer calling this timeout - the rhythm is wrong for the Heat!

Zhang Hao saw this and felt that the magician was really a quick decision. Otherwise, he would not have thought of using a magician who had just had two consecutive MVPs at his peak to exchange for Jordan.

...

The current score is 19-18, and the Lakers are leading the Heat by 1 point. I can't see the advantage. The score is also anxious, but this is not good news for Heat coach Pat Riley.

The previous anxious situation was that the two sides played defense and confrontation, which was the rhythm of the Heat. Now the offense is the rhythm of the Lakers!

No matter how you simulate and practice or plan, you won’t be as much as you can see in actual competitions.

Del Harris now has a clearer idea of ​​how to play the Heat.

Without continuing to strengthen the offense, after returning from the timeout, Del Harris sent Fisher, Doug Christie, Brian Shaw, O'Neal and Zhang Hao to defend.

The Heat did not adjust their playing style, but only emphasized strengthening defense and suppressing rhythm. They replaced Isaac Austin with strengthening the inside defense, and replaced Woshan Leonard with Marshburn to strengthen singles.

It is called a timeout. Except for special circumstances, such as when garbage time is reached, there are extreme conflicts or players are injured. Except for special circumstances, the general purpose can be divided into three categories.

One type is called pause and substitution, the other type is to interrupt the opponent's rhythm, and the other type is to adjust the playing style.

The main function is to take the initiative.

Pat Riley had many ways to adjust, but the actual operation was very limited. The players under his command were not enough to play his wild ideas. The only way to adjust was to defense.

Pat Riley wanted to regain the initiative by pressing the rhythm and sniping the Lakers' offense, but Del Harris did not give him a chance and also replaced it with a defensive lineup in the last two minutes of the first quarter!

The Heat's lineup structure has problems, and Del Harris is very clear about this, so he will never rotate with Pat Riley's idea. He suffered a loss in the last fight. This time, he is more proactive.

When he has the opportunity, he will make a wave of offense. The opponent tries to regain the initiative through defense, and he also plays defense.

After 3 minutes of a 9-8 score, the Heat missed the shot, and the score between the two teams was 21 points! In the past 1 and a half minutes, the Lakers only scored 2 points, and the Heat only scored 3 points!

After Zhang Hao caught the rebound, he advanced to the frontcourt by himself. This time he defended Marshburn.

Mashburn tried to suppress and snatch. Zhang Hao sideways to protect the ball and comes outside the three-point line. Suddenly pulls the ball. Mashburn quickly moves and tries to steal. He fights back at the last moment of the first quarter, but Zhang Hao then dribbles behind the back and pulls the ball to the right, shaking away Mashburn!

"The King of Cross Steps (Bronze) triggered. Zhang Hao successfully shook his opponent away from his opponent for breakthrough space. His speed temporarily +3. After obtaining the breakthrough space, he started at the fastest speed..."

After suddenly reaching a step outside the free throw line, Zhang Hao stopped urgently, and made an emergency stop and shot in the mid-range shot when Mo Ning was in place...

Hit!

This is a good opportunity to pass the ball to the basket. O'Neal has cut from the wing, but since O'Neal has cut in and Mo Ning has made up, of course he has to shoot, and if he goes in, he will go in. If he doesn't go in, O'Neal will have a chance to make a tip.

Zhang Hao made this mid-range shot and the Lakers scored 23-21, leading the Heat two points!

As the Heat missed a long-distance three-pointer in the last attack, the Lakers led by two points and entered the break between the quarters!

8 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks, Zhang Hao's data in the first quarter is OK.

But he only scored 8 points when he took 8 shots!

This efficiency is indeed not very good for a player whose team points at him.

But Zhang Hao still threw it away when he had the chance.

The Heat can even defend Jordan, and they can make the opponent 9 of 27 shots. They win by defending. Zhang Hao wants to have a good regular scoring opportunity, which is not realistic, but the number of shots cannot be reduced. What if he makes a shot?

What he has to do is seize when those opportunities that he should seize appear!

Sometimes opportunities don’t seem to be the chance you usually have, but playing a team like the Heat, he just needs to make progress and score in ways that he doesn’t usually use!

...

It seems that the score difference is only two points, but the Heat are playing hard.

The Lakers line up two lineups, one lineup plays offensive and the other lineup plays defense.

After the second quarter started, Zhang Hao, Magic and Barkley brought James Robinson and Wilkins' lineup to the court.

The Lakers played 10-7 in 4 minutes. This time Pat Riley did not make any adjustments, but the Lakers called for a timeout adjustment and replaced Brian Shaw, Doug Christie, George Lynch, O'Neal, and Zhang Hao to play defense.

After the fierce defense battle in the last two minutes of the first quarter, the Heat just got used to the Lakers' defense without any fierce confrontation. As soon as the offense was straightened, the Lakers played defense again!

The score still looks very anxious, but the rhythm is no longer on the Heat!

The Lakers minimized the time for offense as much as possible, played 4 minutes in the second quarter, and fought hard for the remaining 8 minutes.

When the half was over, the Lakers scored 43 points and the Heat scored 39 points. In the 8 minutes after the second quarter, the Lakers scored only 10 points, and were scored 11 points by the Heat. However, relying on the few minutes of the offensive, they still scored 20-18 in the second quarter and achieved a 4-point lead in the first half!

When playing offense, Zhang Hao's top arc pick-and-roll reception is the main focus.

The Heat's defense is very disciplined. After practicing for countless times, they can play ordinary teams with one move and fight to the defensive. They have specialized in tactics for the Lakers, Bulls, Jazz, Supersonics and other top teams they think of.

Zhang Hao suddenly made a pick-and-roll pass and cut, and he could shoot, break and pass the ball when he received the ball. He also received the ball when the two defensive players were still in the top arc. The game was very simple and there was nothing fancy, but it was difficult for the Heat to defend!

Especially when the Lakers replaced James Robinson and Wilkins when they were in the confrontation, ensuring their appearance of the outside shooting...

Pat Riley can think of it, but the players have fixed routines in defense, have a lot of targeted training, and are very disciplined... This is the biggest problem for the Heat. It is difficult for them to change when they encounter difficulties!

When it comes to the stage of defense, the Lakers play very simply, relying on Zhang Hao and O'Neal to score. If you like, you will hit the defense and the stars.

Zhang Hao changed direction and broke through four times in the second quarter, only one shot, but it was not difficult to shake off the opponent's inside defensive players... Unfortunately, Doug Christie and Brian Xiao took the ball and shot tonight.

However, this is the Heat's defense. The Lakers lack Kenny Anderson. Even if they control the initiative in rhythm, they lack the ability to defeat the opponent.

After getting back from halftime, it was the third quarter.

The Heat's adjustment during the break was still very good. At the beginning of the third quarter, they decisively attacked the Lakers, and their way of racing was simple. Before O'Neal had even made it, Mo Ning made a single in the inside + Marshburn's sudden score. As soon as he got up, he scored 11-10 in the third quarter, which made the score 50-53, narrowing the gap by 1 point.

However, O'Neal got used to the half-time game and felt that he finally played!

In the second half of the third quarter, O'Neal scored 9 points alone, plus a top three-pointer passed to Zhang Hao, Doug Christie made a mid-range shot from a key third quarter and a cut-in layup. The Lakers scored only three of them, but the three of them scored 15 points together. From 4 minutes and 33 seconds in the third quarter to 11 minutes and 40 seconds in the third quarter, the Lakers played a 15-11 wave, setting the score to 68-61, leading 7 points!

The final attack was the Heat's ball rights.

Tim Hardaway carried the ball and advanced.

After Zhang Hao retreated and returned from defense, O'Neal originally planned to defend at mid-to-close distance. Some things were very refusing at first, but as he fought, he got used to it.

But Zhang Hao waved his hand and stayed in the top arc. O'Neal immediately returned to the familiar basket, George Lynch also went to Isaac Austin, Doug Christie was close to Marshburn, and Fisher followed Woshan Leonard closely.

After Tim Hardaway arrived in the frontcourt, he did not delay time, but decisively broke through!

After entering the three-point line with speed, Tim Hardaway beat the ball heavily and took a step back.

Zhang Hao quickly made up for it, but Tim Hardaway took a step back and did not grab the ball, but took another cross step, stopped and continued to break from the right side... Zhang Hao was about to take a step back and continued to cover the emergency stop jump shot space after Tim Hardaway broke through, but when Tim Hardaway took a step back and pressed it back, he aimed at a bunch of people on the right side of the three-second zone. At this time, Tim Hardaway still walked to the right side... In the midst of flash, Zhang Hao made a decision, and did not retreat, but pressed up!

Tim Hardaway made a false move in this breakthrough. He used the method of destroying his ankles and knees to stop and then take a step back again. The range of steps was still very large, and the three-pointer shot was nearly one meter away from the three-point line...

Tim Hardaway regretted it when he jumped up, but the ball was already raised. He wanted to do such a single move. Even if he reacted quickly and had a fast speed, he didn't care whether he really shook the opponent away, and he was sure that he could shake the opponent away... As soon as the ball was raised, he was slapped by Zhang Hao who rushed over!

Zhang Hao flew Tim Hardaway's three-pointer with a three-pointer, and passed Tim Hardaway by. He blocked the shot down. The ball hit the floor and bounced up. He just caught the ball when he jumped up.

The body makes decisions first than the brain and fight back directly!

Tim Hardaway turned around and chased after him... he couldn't catch up!

Looking at Zhang Hao's amazing counterattack burst, Tim Hardaway's eyes widened. Even if he had seen it before, he still felt it was too terrible.

When Zhang Hao smashed the ball into the basket, Tim Hardaway seemed to see victory leaving them...

When Zhang Hao dunked the ball into the basket, there were 6.2 seconds left. The Heat served and quickly advanced to the frontcourt. He was destroyed by the active Doug Christie and had 2.6 seconds left to attack again. Marshburn received the ball and turned around and missed the mid-range shot.

70-61, the Lakers lead by 9 points!
