NBA: I am the card dealer

Stepping onto the court again, Xue Liancheng felt a strange feeling in his heart.

After high-fiving his teammates, he went to the center circle to jump the ball.

As the referee's whistle sounded, the game officially began.

The Lakers got the first offense.

Xue Liancheng dribbled the ball forward and hit the floor one after another. The familiar and long-lost feeling came back.

Even the blood flowing in his body was boiling at this moment.

But he did not act rashly. Instead, after halftime, he immediately went to observe the movements of his teammates.

result.

George reached for the ball directly.

Xue Liancheng was stunned for a moment.

And George reacted quickly, and was confused for a moment. His stretched out hand felt awkward, and he was even a little at a loss for a moment.

Obviously.

Neither side has adapted to the other's presence.

Whether Xue Liancheng is in the Heat or the Knicks, he has absolute command authority.

Usually he signals Wade and Oladipo to give the ball to Wade and Oladipo, and they will take the initiative to attack, or when he moves to create space, Wade and Oladipo will take charge.

It's rare for George to directly ask him for the ball.

It can even be said that there is almost none.

Because only when the ball is in his hands can he play his greatest role, and all his teammates know this.

As the star player of the Pacers, George has been the main attacker for many, many years. After coming to the Lakers, due to Xue Liancheng's injury, he is still the team's main player. He plays the leading role in both starting and finishing the offense. exist.

That's why he subconsciously reached out for the ball.

But things are different now.

Xue Liancheng is back.

As the brains of the team and the face of the league, he is not comparable to George in terms of fame and influence.

Take the initiative to ask for the ball in the first attack?

If it is true, it can even be regarded as challenging the position of the team leader.

But Xue Liancheng didn't think so much at all. He gave the ball directly and shouted: "I will take over."

George didn't expect Xue Liancheng to be so straightforward, which actually made him a little embarrassed.

But he didn't give in. He took the ball, made a set of fake moves, and then started to rush in.

pity.

This move was so fake that Richardson was not fooled at all.

And George seemed to have forgotten what Xue Liancheng said, and rushed directly against the opponent without any intention of passing the ball.

It seems that he is using this round of offense to tell the world that he is definitely a top player.

At the same time, he also wanted to gain Xue Liancheng's approval.

result.

When he took a shot under the basket, he was directly slapped away by Porgitins.

Don't think that the Heat's defensive quality has declined since they traded Ibaka. In fact, Porgitins' ability to protect the frame is also very good.

And his thin body is particularly suitable for assisting defense.

The Heat launched a fast break.

Wade also really understood the essence of Xue Liancheng's fast break and ran forward very fiercely.

And Xue Liancheng knows this very well. Even if he rests for more than half a year, the factor of fast break and counterattack is still engraved in his genes.

So he didn't rush the ball, but fought Wade off the ball.

This is the case.

Gasol didn't dare to make a long pass at all, and the Heat didn't have anyone to push the fast break. In the end, the fast break counterattack failed.

Falling into a positional battle, Gasol took the ball in the middle to receive the ball. Anthony and Wade interspersed the screen, and Wade successfully took the ball and attacked.

Everyone focused on Wade, and no one saw Porgitins running toward the basket from the side.

By the time Xue Liancheng captured this information, it was too late.

Wade and Porgitins successfully staged an alley-oop.

Take 2 points first and get first blood.

During the return to defense, Wade smiled and said to Xue Liancheng, "How about this ball?"

Xue Liancheng smiled and affirmed: "It's great, it has the same style as when we were connected."

This is actually the connecting ball tactic he used during the Heat.

Run, screen, catch the ball, attract the defense, and then throw high to the teammate on the other side.

of course.

This style of play is not unsolvable.

Wade does not have a stable three-pointer, and Anthony's ability to catch and shoot is not very good. This is a fatal flaw.

If he had been leading the defense from the inside, Wade would have had no chance to break in.

It's just that he hasn't played for a long time, so he is a little rusty.

There is another problem. Randall is really not focused on defense. If he loses focus on the field, he will reveal a huge flaw to his opponent.

Then if teammates want to make up for it, they need to disrupt the defensive formation, which hurts morale.

Wade: "Hey! I'm much better than you."

Xue Liancheng bared his teeth, but did not comment: "Really?"

soon.

The two came to the front court entangled.

George also pushed the ball over.

In this round, Zubac moved directly up to pick and roll, George went around, and then rushed in again.

Xue Liancheng on the side slowly moved to his weak side and frowned slightly as he watched his teammates' performance.

Everyone seems to be used to this simple and direct attack method, and they don't even think about organizing it for him.

The thought just came to this.

George is determined again.

However, Randall picked up the rebound. This good guy had no intention of passing the ball. He turned left and right, suddenly leaned over and tried to pick the basket with his low hand.

result.

Covered again.

Zubac grabbed the rebound and threw the hook directly.

still none……

Then the Heat got the rebound.

When returning to defense.

Wade's teasing came again: "Brother, you seem to have been away for too long, they don't take you seriously!"

Xue Liancheng felt bitter: "Maybe..."

As a point guard, he is the absolute core, organizing and connecting points, and he didn't even touch the ball.

He finally knows how serious the Lakers' problem is now.

In fact, it is not that the players are not capable, but that all of them are in a state of stragglers, all working alone, without the slightest desire to cooperate or share.

If we keep playing like this, we'll be damned if we can even make the playoffs.

The Heat cooperated very well.

Gasol played the ball, but Richardson once again seized the opportunity and succeeded in a layup with an air cut.

Falling behind 0:4 at the start.

O'Neal's brows were already furrowed, "What's going on? Is Xue coming here to do a return run?"

Ernie Johnson: "I can't understand it at all."

Barkley: "Actually, the Lakers have always played this way. George or Clarkson initiates from the top of the arc, enters the penalty area after a simple pick-and-roll screen, Randall cuts in, Courtney Lee smokes in the corner, and other tactical changes are rare. Pitiful."

And the words just fell.
