WHEN IT COMES TO THE WORDS CROSS OVER, FORWARD CHANGE OF DIRECTION, AND ANKLE FINISHER, THE FIRST PLAYER THAT COMES TO THE MIND OF FANS IS DEFINITELY ALLEN IVERSON.

The ball danced at his fingertips, and his agile body got rid of the fierce defense of the big man, and finally put the ball into the basket with a beautiful layup.

This is the dream of every basketball teenager, and the first generation of the league's god of change is Tim Hardaway.

He has the same surname as Penny Anfernee Hardaway, but the two have very different playing styles.

As a top point guard who won the Western Conference Player of the Year and the All-American Collegiate Naismith Award in college, he was not favored due to his height and was picked up by the Warriors with the No. 14 pick in the first round of the '89 draft.

Although he is only 1.83 meters tall, his style of play is very close to that of a modern point guard, or he is the pioneer of a new generation of point guards in the league. Unlike the league's traditional pass-first point guards, Tim Hardaway likes to use his speed and possession wildly to create offensive opportunities and shoot a lot of three-pointers.

With his unique style of play, Tim Hardaway averaged 22.9 points and 9.7 assists per game in his second season, and became one of the few point guards in league history to achieve 20+10 achievements in the third season, along with Magic, Isaiah Thomas, and Oscar Roberts. That season he finished up with 23.4 points and 10.0 assists, shooting 46.1 percent from the field and averaging 1.6 three-pointers per game.

From the '92 season, Tim Hardaway officially took over the torch from Isaiah Thomas. Become the best small man in the league.

Although he did not have a good record in his career with the Warriors, the incompatibility and contradictions of the Warriors' big three Tim Hardaway, Mullin and Richmond led to the rebuilding of the team, but Tim Hardaway who came to the Heat had a second spring, and he just turned 30 years old, he can score 20.3 points and 8.6 assists this season, which can be said to be the top point guard in the league.

He is the engine of the Heat and Kobe's biggest opponent in this game.

Kobe Bryant didn't dare to be careless in this game, Pat Riley's team has never been to be underestimated, although the Lakers have the depth of the lineup, but the Lakers are not open on the outside, and it is really possible to be locked on the inside like the Bulls by the Heat.

BEFORE THE GAME BEGAN, THE ARENA'S BIG SCREEN ALSO SHOWED FOOTAGE FROM PAT RILEY'S PLAYING DAYS AND LEADING THE SHOWTIME DYNASTY TO PAY HOMAGE TO RILEY, AND THEN THE GAME BEGAN TO BE CHEERED ON BY THE FANS AT THE FORUM ARENA IN THE GREATER WEST.

"Kobe! Beat them up! ”

"Mr. 55 points! Let's get 80 points today! ”

"Shaq, sit down Monin!"

"Give them the little sluts in the east to see how good our California guys are!"

"Kobe, look at me!" In order to attract Kobe's attention, some fans even danced belly dances on the sidelines.

In the midst of the uproar, the game began.

O'Neal's jump ball narrowly beat Mourning, Kobe Bryant received O'Neal's jump ball, and did not find a suitable fast break opportunity, and the Heat's retreat was orderly, so he advanced to the front court with the ball.

"What a welcome! Brat. Of course, Pat Riley won't let Tim Hardaway defend Kobe, who is 1.96 meters tall and Bosnian shooting guard Sasha Danilovic standing in front of Kobe.

Of course it's popular! Bryant knew that most of the women in Los Angeles would be willing to be at his bedside if he wanted to. But Kobe didn't want to make any more debts, he was waiting for Vanessa with peace of mind, now Vanessa is only 15 years old, Kobe plans to go to her again after a while, it's better to know her like in the previous life.

Sasha Danilovich's defense didn't put much pressure on Kobe, and as a white pitcher, his defense was only slightly better than Tim Hardaway's.

The old rules! The first ball is stuffed under the basket!

Hanging the ball high, O'Neal raised his hand slightly and comfortably received Kobe's pass.

Defending O'Neal is PJ Brown, who is 2.11 meters tall and has a very strong body. He is also the No. 2 pick in the second round that Pat Riley single-handedly discovered, and if it weren't for Riley's discovery and training, he might not have been able to play for a long time.

Today's second-round pick has become the strongest meat shield of the Heat, although he plays the power forward position and Mourning plays the center, but often needs to resist the four major centers will let PG Brown act as the first line of defense, and Mourning uses his agile speed to help defend.

O'Neal received the ball and felt the power of PJ Brown with his back.

Hard stubble!

But no matter how hard the bones are, as the boss of the team, the first goal must come by himself!

O'Neal leaned lightly on PJ Brown, feigned his back to advance, and then shook off PJ Brown to the basket with a quick turn. But by this time, Alonzo Monin had already helped to defend in place, stuck in O'Neill's path!

The future two-time best defensive player, the strongest center under the four centers, has a very good defense, especially when he is 26 years old, and his confrontation ability is stronger than the current Olajuwon!

The ball is stopped! O'Neill was forced to stop the ball, and PJ Brown made up for it from behind, and the bag came over!

O'Neal took a step outside the box and forced a shot, which was interfered with by PJ Brown and Mourning, and missed.

Mourning grabbed the defensive rebound and handed it to Tim Hardaway.

So fast! The Heat's counterattack is rushing! Bryant hurried back to defend and caught up with Tim Hardaway at the three-point line. But Tim Hardaway didn't panic and made a beautiful ground-hitting pass to Voshan Leonard, who was following him.

2 to 1! Bryant hesitated and gave up the pursuit. If he chased it in, he was passed by Woshan Leonard to Hardaway and threw a three-pointer that hurt morale even more.

The white shooter seized the opportunity and scored a layup in the open spot.

The Heat's round of offense and defense was completed, and the feeling for Kobe Bryant was one word, stable!

Solid interior defense! Steady passing! Solid layup! Each player is not in a hurry or impatient, as if he has become a screw in the hands of Pat Riley, doing what he has to do, and finally forming an efficient war machine!

Trouble! This is the team that Kobe Bryant has encountered this season with the strongest team execution, and it is useless to just lock Tim Hardaway alone, they are a team with too many offensive points.

Kobe frowned, this game can't be lost!

Now is the key time to compete for the All-Star, be sure to win! And win beautifully!

O'Neill is locked up?

Then I'll do it myself!

Fight until you wrap me up! The shackles on O'Neill's body naturally shattered!

Bryant's grim eyes were fixed on Vochan Leonard, and the camera captured the scene.

"Oh my God, Kobe Bryant's eyes are a little scary. I've never seen that aura in a rookie, just started, just conceded a goal, is it necessary? Jim Fagan was puzzled.

"Nope! This time the offense and defense are by no means as simple as a ball, and the fiery tactics have been rolled out! PJ Brown and Amozo Mourning are enough to lock up any center in the league who doesn't shoot, and O'Neal is among them. If the Lakers can't open the outside line, they can't win the Heat with multiple offensive points on defense alone! "The Magic's sense of smell is just as sharp, and this game didn't feel like a regular season game from the start.

Pat Riley is preparing this game as if it were a playoff game! As long as the Lakers show their flaws and fall behind in the score, then they will have no chance of turning the tables!
