In Wade's absence, the Nets' offense has always been initiated by James, and Beverley's job is to dribble the ball through the half.

Guo Xu was too lazy to press Beverley in the midfield, and this opponent was not qualified enough for him to pay attention to. In the finals, Guo Xu can be lazy on the defensive end, the coach will not arrange tactics for Beverley, he just catches and shoots, and Guo Xu's main defense does not need to run much.

James broke through with the ball, and Tucker couldn't defend it alone, but he had helpers to wrap around the box. James didn't have a chance to get the ball out of the perimeter to find JR Smith and didn't create an opening.

Smith won the Sixth Man of the Year and should have been a strong point for the Nets, but he didn't have the ball in the Nets' offensive system, and his mission was to be a pitcher. He didn't try to break through in the face of veteran Carter, and saw that James was followed by Tucker more closely, and passed to Howard, who asked for the ball in the low post on the left.

Howard leaned on Nurkic with his back twice and didn't squeeze it, turned to the middle to "throw the discus", the ball bounced out of the frame, and Tucker grabbed the rebound in the backcourt.

Guo Xu played blocking and dismantling with Horford as soon as he passed the half, and the person who changed the defense was James again.

The Nets had a good tactic, allowing West to defend Tucker from the baseline and Tucker lacked the ability to attack with the ball. And James is responsible for blocking and dismantling, and his mobility is strong and will not be easily passed by Guo Xu.

But James can only block so much on the periphery, Guo Xu can't follow when he runs without the ball, he can't keep Horford empty, the latter's mid-to-long-range shooting is more sure than him.

Guo Xu ran to the left side of the 50-degree receiving frame to probe the step, hit Beverley with the bottom line, and dribbled behind his left hand to catch the right foot and step back to open the distance.

Beverly likes to be close-fitting, and Guo Xu likes to play against him. You don't have the strength advantage to be close, isn't this looking for death?

Beverley's center of gravity was shifted back, and it was too late to take a step forward and jump to block, Guo Xuzhong hit a shot. 10 to 2, 7th personal point.

China's CCTV5's Zhang Li said: "The Nets have a problem with their defense at the beginning, they dare to let Guo Xu play alone? ”

Yu Jia said with a smile: "Beverley has been selected for the best defensive team, nicknamed Mad Dog, known for his defense, but let him defend Guo Xu alone, I'm afraid he can only beat the water dogs." ”

Of course, the Nets don't want to let Guo Xu play alone, but they are also afraid of Carter's three-pointers. Carter's three-point shooting dropped in the last series, but he still shot 48.4 percent throughout the playoffs, averaging 2.1 shots per game.

The Nets attacked, and James forced a break through to score on the basketball. 10 to 4.

The Lakers attacked, and Guo Xu attracted the ball and ran on the periphery, not giving James the opportunity to show his ability to help defend, and you have the ability to keep running.

This time he slipped to the baseline first, then relied on Nurkic to cover a large circle on the side to 70 degrees on the right, received a pass from Horford in the high post, and formed a triangle with Tucker in the bottom corner and Nurkic cutting to the low post.

Horford went to the left corner, James didn't dare to let go of him to wrap up, Guo Xu passed the ball, and Horford's shooting rate in the vacant position was more than 50%.

Beverley chased out and failed to get close, Guo Xu calmly made moves on the periphery, dribbled under the crotch and stepped back to meet Beverley's three-point jumper. 13 to 4, 10th individual points.

Guo Xu didn't have any celebration when he returned to defense, only one Beverley defended, and the goal was a matter of course, the Nets didn't wrap up, he would shoot endlessly. Beverley is afraid of this kind of shooting player, and when facing a star point guard, he only does a good job of defending Paul, and Paul is mainly based on breakouts and mid-range shots.

Brown was on the sidelines discussing with the assistant coach how to defend, like playing the Raptors, defending Lillard alone and guarding against others is obviously not good.

The Nets attacked, James broke through again and had a fierce confrontation with Tucker, jumped under the basket and made physical contact with Nurkic in the air, and the pull-up layup was missed.

The rebound was grabbed by Nurkic and a pass to Guo Xu to counterattack.

Beverley will only have a tough defensive style, close to Guo Xu in the midfield, trying to make him dribble back to the court and make mistakes. As a result, Guo Xu didn't have the idea of slowing down or bringing back at all, he broke through with the ball tank and hit Beverley directly, and then changed direction to accelerate away.

Guo Xu's speed of advancing with the ball is the first in the basketball world, not only because of his fast speed, but also because of his strong strength, the thinner guard directly crashes away, and there is no need for complicated feints.

James followed Tucker to the bottom corner, Guo Xu made a one-meter stop at the three-point line to shoot, and the ball drew a perfect arc and hollowed into the net. 16-4, 13th personal point.

Brown asked for a timeout, intending to adjust his defensive tactics, otherwise he would have to be blown up at half-time, and even if he counterattacked, he would have to contain Guo Xu.

Fans watching the live broadcast online began to post to discuss the game, and many of Jamie shouted black whistles, thinking that Tucker had touched James's defensive action too much, and had just committed a foul but the referee didn't blow it.

In the Eastern Conference finals, Coach Brown once expressed dissatisfaction with the referee's penalty scale.

"He (James) will never get a whistle. I mean, he's constantly making an impact. Aside from Westbrook, he is the player who gets the most points in the box every night, and I don't think he's been treated fairly because he's strong enough and always runs through defenders, and the referee rarely gives him a whistle. But those were fouls and we didn't get a fair penalty and we just had to fight with that kind of penalty. ”

James, who averaged 6 free throws per game in the playoffs, was treated like he had been treated unfairly, and James was furious. Jamie sighed: "After watching the foul on LeBron, I feel that the league is back to the violent basketball of the eighties and nineties." ”

In fact, the playoffs have been looser than the regular season, and the confrontation is fierce, with Harden making the most free throws in the regular season at 10.2 and Westbrook making the most in the playoffs at 7.8. So the question is, how many free throws should James per game in a normal whistle be by Jammy's standards?

And Jamie gave advice to the Nets coaching staff. "Brown owes James several championships, he's a piece of shit, he doesn't know how to play. The Nets use Jordan's rule, and they will definitely be able to prevent Guo Xu! ”

The following pot is a secret message. "The first rule of Jordan is not to put Jordan on the perimeter to shoot threes? Isn't that what the Lakers are using to defend James right now? ”

The game continued, the Nets did not make any substitutions, Brown just emphasized that Guo Xu was clamped, and others were allowed to shoot, and Beverley wanted to post a little tighter.

Beverly thought to himself: I want to fit tighter too, but the problem is that I can't fit it, this guy is too strong!

He discovered this in the regular season, and the skills he was good at were useless to Guo Xu, let alone Guo Xu, and they were useless to Lillard.

Tucker put James two more steps away, and the shot was not guarded. James picked up the ball in the middle and chose to pull a three-pointer, Tucker immediately pounced and reached out to interfere slightly, and the ball bounced out of the frame.

In the Lakers positional battle, Guo Xu was caught in the middle of the court, and he slipped to the bottom line and formed a triangle with his teammates on the right side. At this time, Tucker was in the bottom left corner, and Horford moved the ball to Carter and also moved to the left, and the formation was fully stretched.

The biggest feature of the triangle attack is that the positioning is very clear, as long as the player's IQ is correct, he knows how to handle the ball. If Guo Xu doesn't throw a pass after attracting the bag, Carter can attract the defense and can dribble to the middle and then form a triangle with the two on the left, and it is easy to get out of the vacancy after transferring.

The key to this tactic is the ability of the star to attract the pack and get the ball out.

Guo Xu attracted Beverley and Smith at 45 degrees, and distributed it to Carter, who received the ball and hit a quick three-pointer. 19-4, Guo Xu's second assist.

The Lakers blinded the Nets at the start of the game......
