Chapter 11: The Collision of the Inside and the Outside

"Hey, man, be careful later, I'm not going to relax. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

Before walking to the center circle to jump the ball, O'Neill said as he passed by Liu Han.

He did not do this to remind Liu Han, but a real warning, facing his old friend, but now he is an opponent, O'Neill does not want to lose in front of Liu Han.

Compared with a few years ago, O'Neill now has a more indescribable temperament, and after he has experienced his own victory, it is difficult to accept being a foil for others, which is why he called Liu Han after Liu Han signed a contract with Mavericks, no matter how "simple" a person is, he will have his own territorial consciousness.

Liu Han smiled and did not respond to O'Neill, he was very aware of the "childishness" of his old friend.

As the referee tossed the ball high, to everyone's surprise, O'Neal won the jump ball without any suspense, and Nowitzki didn't even have the desire to jump.

The Lakers started attacking after getting the ball, and their current style of play is very different from when Liu Han was there, and due to the change of coach before the team and the addition of new people, the Lakers' style of play is more orthodox.

Payton slowly advanced with the ball, Liu Han did not press very tightly, just led the defense, the Lakers players quickly fell into position, Karl Malone mentioned the high position, O'Neal fell low, and the others pulled away, the Lakers' tactics are obvious, that is, to attack the inside.

The Mavericks were just defending as usual, and Nowitzki was nervous about defending behind O'Neal, but even he didn't know what he would do if O'Neal got the ball.

Payton dribbled the ball across the half court and came to a 45-degree angle, and then dropped the ball to O'Neal inside, Liu Han immediately gave up Payton to hit O'Neal, O'Neal chose to do it directly in the face of Liu Han's pinch, he hit the opponent with his back against Nowitzki, and then turned around directly and dunked, at this time Liu Han's pinch was just in place.

I have to admit that the current O'Neal is absolutely top in terms of dominance on the inside, even surpassing the previous three center eras, his weight plus his strength, few players in the league can fight against him, Yao Min was only able to fight with O'Neal last season, and Yao Min didn't have a good way to O'Neal defensively.

The easy scoring of the first goal made O'Neill very proud, and he passed by Liu Han triumphantly, as if to say: "Look, man, I won't see you this year, am I much better." ”

Liu Han didn't pay attention to this, he was picked up by Nowitzki, who was knocked away by O'Neal, and then dribbled towards the Lakers halfcourt.

Lakers fans on the sidelines cheered loudly for O'Neal's first-goal strength, but some fans felt like they were back in 1998 when they saw Liu Han running around Staples in a white jersey.

The Mavericks began to attack, and Liu Han's dribbling made Payton very surprised, he knew that the person in front of him had not regressed in the slightest compared to a few years ago, but Payton was surprised that he saw some magical feelings on Liu Han's dribbling, which was like he was facing a person who was taking a relaxing walk, and couldn't find the existence of the ball at all, as if the ball and the person had become one.

Liu Han didn't pass the ball after dribbling the ball across the half, and the Mavericks rarely played the inside line in positional battles, basically relying on Liu Han to impact the inside line alone.

Payton lowered his center of gravity to prepare to prevent Liu Han's breakthrough, because his side of Nowitzki had already covered, but just when he just took a step back, Liu Han suddenly shot a three-pointer, a long shot that was still one step away from the three-point line, and it was too late for Payton to defend again.

The basketball flew into the Lakers basket in the arc as always, and this scene almost made some old Lakers fans cheer, Liu Han relied on such an arc of three-point shots to help the Lakers win two championships in a row.

Compared to the Lakers' offense, the Mavericks' offense is simple and straightforward.

The first leg of the attack and defense of the two teams showed the difference between the two teams, one is a pure inside attack, the other is a pure outside projection, the style is very different but there are similarities, both are a demonstration of the individual ability of the core players.

The game continued, the Lakers basically played inside, the Mavericks basically had no way to attack like this, and Nowitzki's defense of O'Neal was a decoration.

O'Neal scored 10 points in a row for the next four minutes, shooting 100 percent from the field.

However, the Lakers don't have a very good way to defend the Mavericks' offense, although O'Neal is much more dominant after gaining weight, but defending Nowitzki makes him very helpless, because this guy rarely enters the three-point line, and the Mavericks Jamison and Odom also take turns running from the inside out, which makes Malone and Finley difficult to defend, Malone is old, Finley is not tall enough, so the Mavericks also have a high success rate in the offense, Liu Han broke through the ball one after another, so that the Mavericks players have plenty of opportunities to shoot, the score of the two sides is a two-point lead for the Mavericks.

In the sixth minute of the first quarter of the game, Phil Jackson called a timeout first, this guy rarely took the initiative to call a timeout in the previous Jordan era, but he often called a timeout first when facing Liu Han.

"Shaq, next I need you to take the initiative to divide the ball, we need other scoring points, if you are alone, our offensive efficiency is too low, we need outside shooting."

Although O'Neal didn't answer Phil Jackson's words, his face was not very good-looking, he was playing well, but this guy let him pass the ball, and anyone would feel uncomfortable.

The old man Nelson on the Mavericks' side has changed his old appearance, he looks like he has no light with me at all, and he even let Liu Han decide how to play during the timeout, Mad Scientist is worthy of being a Mad Scientist, and he is much more courageous than other coaches.

'Lamar, next I need you to hold the ball, I'm going to drop low, I'm going to open up space, I'm going to pass the ball at the right time, we need to rotate more in defence, we need to use the combination when it's right, everything is in mind with my gestures.

In the years since Liu Han left, there have been a lot of changes in the NBA, and joint defense is one of them, a defensive tactic that was originally banned by the NBA.

Liu Han began to arrange the team's tactics, he didn't think there was anything strange, even the Mavericks players felt normal, in training, Liu Han helped them make a lot of changes, and Liu Han's current temperament is also quite a leader, so the Mavericks players are very convinced of Liu Han.

After the timeout, the Lakers continued to attack, Payton did not attack the interior after passing the half court, but relied on Malone's cover three-point shot, but his three points could not be compared with Liu Han, the ball bounced out of the basket, Liu Han rushed into the interior to pick up the rebound, O'Neal was not in a good position, and the ball bounced to his other side.

The Mavericks launched a fast break as soon as Liu Han grabbed the rebound, which is a tactic they have been practicing.
