Legend of Tomorrow

A player's ability to shoot is half a matter of talent and half comes from unremitting hard work.

Many people make excuses for NBA players who cannot shoot accurately, saying that their hands are too big, their hands are too small, their posture is not standard, their muscles are too strong, etc., which are all nonsense. People who are not allowed just don't want to practice more, practice makes perfect.

Of course, except for people like O'Neal who are so thick that they can't even raise their arms. Most people with normal body types, if they were willing to practice as hard as Dirk Nowitzki and Stephen Curry, would not even be able to shoot free throws accurately.

No one is born with an incomprehensible marksman. Even Curry, who is extremely talented, was not born with the ability to throw three-pointers at random. He reached this level because he was born in a basketball family. He had a shooter father and a point guard mother who taught him how to play basketball since he was a child.

Guo Xu was a good shooter in his predecessor. He practiced hard in middle school and was able to get a scholarship to Michigan State University by shooting. As a result, the reborn took advantage. Otherwise, just relying on his training in the time loop, he would not be as good as he is now.

The Spurs attack in a pick-and-roll, and Johnson passes the ball to Robinson in the middle. Robinson, who is 216cm tall, has shooting range and has a height advantage when facing Grant. His jump shot missed due to interference, and Fox grabbed the defensive rebound.

Guo Xu dribbled to the frontcourt and stretched out two fingers this time. O'Neal came out for a pick-and-roll and wanted to score two points. Johnson weighed about the same as Guo Xu, and O'Neal was twice as heavy. He was completely stuck behind the screen. Guo Xu broke through with the ball on the right, attracting Duncan to switch defense.

Duncan couldn't do it without changing his defense. Guo Xu speeded up and forced his way to the baseline without any fake moves. If he didn't follow, he would have been able to layup directly. O'Neal squeezed Johnson away from the middle and made an air cut to the basket.

Guo Xu reached the baseline, turned around, and passed the ball to O'Neal, who was rushing up. The latter caught the ball, jumped up, and dunked with both hands to score. Duncan turned around and defended too late, and did not dare to reach out.

8 to 3, Guo Xu sent out the first assist, seizing on the Spurs' weakness at the beginning and hitting hard!

Duncan's defensive ability is recognized as top-notch, and he is excellent in supplementary defense, single defense, and assist defense. If he has any weaknesses, it is that he is unable to cope with pick-and-roll situations. There is nothing he can do when a strong man like O'Neal rushes. , if you want to foul, you have to start early, otherwise you are likely to be dunked.

Johnson's small body can't stop the Big Shark for half a second, unless he falls to the ground and hugs O'Neal's thigh tightly like Van Gundy defended Mourning, then O'Neal will have to drag his personal attack and can't get up quickly for air cuts.

Johnson played a pick-and-roll, broke through from the left and was caught up by Guo Xu, passing the ball to Anderson on the side, who met Kobe.

Johnson was placed two steps away and had the opportunity to shoot a three-pointer but did not dare to take it. He knew about breakthroughs, and never thought about coaching three-pointers. In the 1996-97 season, he played 76 games, making a total of 6 of 26 shots from beyond the three-point line, and a 23.1% shooting rate from open shots. This was already the best performance of his career.

Anderson is 196cm tall and weighs 88kg. He averaged 16.9 points, 4 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.4 steals per game for the Clippers last game. This season, he averaged 15.5 points, 4 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game. He is an excellent role player and must be taken care of.

Anderson is good at catching and shooting. He can't beat Kobe with the ball based on his personal ability. He took two steps to find an opening and passed the ball to Duncan.

Duncan stepped towards the frame at a 45-degree angle on the right side and took a step with his left foot for a jumper. Grant grabbed the defensive rebound.

In the Lakers position battle, Guo Xu played a pick-and-roll with O'Neal again, attracting the defense and then splitting into the middle. O'Neal held the ball and cut in. This time Robinson retreated to the basket to cover and blocked O'Neal. Duncan turned around and let Guo Xu double-team.

Faced with the double-teaming in the penalty area of ​​the Twin Towers, no one in the league could take advantage, not even O'Neal. The value of a superstar lies in his understanding of the game and his understanding of tactics. Ao Pang can not only score by himself, but also drive his teammates.

O'Neal took the ball with both hands, lowered his center of gravity and pushed Robinson, assuming a strong attack posture.

Half-turning, he passed the ball to Grant outside the left penalty area, creating an open shooting opportunity.

Unfortunately, Grant missed the open shot and Duncan grabbed the backcourt rebound. Grant always faces loose defenses. If he can be more accurate in mid-range shots, the Lakers will be invincible.

Guo Xu didn't retreat, and went forward to press directly. Duncan wanted to take advantage of O'Neal's defensive counterattack and made a mistake in passing the ball hastily.

Guo Xu's 190CM wingspan came into play and poked away the basketball. He accelerated in a straight line to get rid of Johnson and picked up the basketball. He took three steps and pretended to pass the ball in the direction of O'Neal, then picked the basket from the left and scored.

10 to 3. Guo Xu scored 8th personally.

This is a gambling steal. If it fails, it will be counterattacked. Guo Xu is eager for data and willing to take risks. The main reason is that he knows that Zen Master Jackson will not complain about this kind of thing. As long as the team is leading, the players can play whatever they want, and he is lazy on the sidelines.

When the Spurs attacked, Johnson did not look for a cover, and continuously dribbled past Guo Xu, attracting Fox to cover the ball, and assisted Elliott to score a mid-range shot. 10 to 5.

When the Lakers attacked, Guo Xu and O'Neal played a pick-and-roll, breaking through on the right to attract inside defenders to score the ball. O'Neal in the middle attracted double-teams and distributed the ball to the outside. Grant set an off-ball screen for Kobe, who received the ball and hit a three-pointer.

Kobe's shot had a flat arc and bounced far. Fox grabbed the offensive rebound and passed it to O'Neal from close range. O'Neal turned around and grabbed the ball, dunking the ball with one hand and scoring. Duncan jumped and missed the block. 12 to 5.

Duncan immediately singled out O'Neal and returned the favor. He turned around and hit a shot from the right, 12-7.

When the Lakers attacked, Kobe didn't hold the ball for several rounds, his eyes started to burn, and he gave Guo Xu a death glare. Guo Xu thought that he did have an advantage in one-on-one with Anderson, so he passed the ball.

Kobe took one step inside the three-point line on the right side and took the ball frame to pose as a triple threat. After taking a step, he took the ball and changed direction to break through the baseline. He accelerated past Anderson in one step and made a layup that caused Anderson's thug to foul.

Bryant made two free throws, 14 to 7.

Woodson said: Last time, the Lakers lost to the SuperSonics by a big score. The players were not in shape. Today, their mental outlook was completely new. The OK combination became a trident. The Spurs couldn't guard it at the beginning.

Horvath said: If the Spurs want to win, they have to attack the Lakers today. They have to use their tactics.

As soon as the words were spoken, the Spurs players began to cover without the ball, support inside, and cut from the wing. Duncan and Robinson pulled out to evacuate the inside. Duncan attracted O'Neal and passed the ball. Anderson cut the ball from the right and hit the basket. His layup also caused a foul on Kobe.

Anderson made two free throws, 14 to 8.

Guo Xu dribbled to the frontcourt and stretched out three fingers. O'Neal went to the basket again, preparing to grab the offensive rebound. The four teammates are completely separated, and Guo Xu in the middle has enough space to make moves.

He ignored Kobe who was asking for the ball on the right, dribbled the ball in the middle and then looked with his left shoulder, holding the ball in his left hand and changing direction to the right. Johnson moved laterally to catch up. Guo Xu dribbled the ball behind his right hand and passed it to his left hand. He moved greatly laterally and took his left foot, stepped back from the three-point line, and made a jumper from the middle.

This is the 13th season of Johnson's career. He has rich defensive experience and has not been shaken away by fake moves. However, he lacks explosive power and is already a floor player. He took a step forward without taking off, only extending his hand to interfere slightly. This had no effect on Guo Xu, who took a determined shot. It was as simple as practicing shooting, and the ball went in.

17 to 8, Guo Xu made 4 of 4 shots in the opening game and scored his 11th point. He had another seizure!
