When Wade is not here, the Nets' offense has been initiated by James, and Beverly's job is just to dribble the ball through half the court.

Guo Xu was too lazy to press Beverly in the midfield, and this opponent was not qualified to let him pay attention. In the finals, Guo Xu could be lazy on the defensive end. The coach would not arrange tactics for Beverly. He just took the ball and shot. Guo Xu did not need to run at the main defense.

James broke through with the ball, and Tucker could not defend himself alone, but he had a helper to double-team near the penalty area. James would split the ball out of the perimeter without making a phone call to find JR Smith, and did not create space.

Smith won the best sixth man, which should be a strong point for the Nets, but he has no ball rights in the Nets offensive system and his task is to be a pitcher. Facing veteran Carter, he did not try to break through. Seeing that James was following closely by Tucker, he passed it to Howard, who wanted the ball at the low post on the left.

Howard leaned on Nurkic for two moves without squeezing, turned around in the middle and "throwed the discus". The ball bounced out and Tucker grabbed the backcourt rebound.

Guo Xu played pick-and-roll with Horford as soon as he passed the half, and James was the one who replaced the defense.

The Nets' tactic is good, allowing West to defend Tucker from shooting at the baseline, and Tucker lacks the ability to hold the ball offensively. James is responsible for preventing pick-and-roll, and his strong mobility will not be easily passed by Guo Xu.

But James could only block this on the periphery. When Guo Xu ran without the ball, James could not follow him. He could not keep emptying Horford. The latter's mid-range shot was more confident than him.

Guo Xu ran to the left 50-degree ball frame to explore the steps, and hit Beverly on the bottom line. He dribbled the ball behind his left hand and took the right foot and took the step away.

Beverly likes to be close to him, while Guo Xu likes to be close to him. If you don’t have the advantage of strength and close to him, isn’t you looking for death?

Beverly moved the center of gravity backwards and jumped forward to block the block. Guo Xu made a mid-range shot. 10-2, with a 7th point in the individual.

Zhang Heli of China's CCTV5 said: "The Nets have problems with their defense at the beginning. Do they even dare to let Guo Xu play singles?"

Yu Jia smiled and said, "Beverly has been selected for the best defensive lineup, nicknamed Mad Dog is known for its defense, but if he is allowed to defend Guo Xu alone, he may only beat the dog in the water."

Of course, the Nets don’t want to let Guo Xu play singles, but they are also afraid of Carter’s three-point shooting. Carter’s three-point shooting percentage dropped in the last series, but the shooting percentage of the entire playoffs is still 48.4%, and he averages 2.1 goals per game. Can such a person let him shoot?

The Nets attacked, James forced a breakthrough and entered the basketball. 10-4.

When the Lakers attacked, Guo Xu attracted double-teams to pass the ball on the outside, and did not give James the opportunity to show his ability to defend. If you have the ability, you will always follow him.

This time he first slipped through the bottom line, and then relied on the cover of Nurkic to circle a large circle on the side to 70 degrees on the right, received a pass from Horford at the high position, and with Tucker at the bottom corner, Nurkic, who cut to the low position, formed a triangle.

Horford reached the left horn position, James did not dare to let him go to double-team, Guo Xu passed the ball with the opportunity, and Horford's mid-range shooting percentage at this position was not only 50%.

Beverly came out to catch up and failed to get close to him. Guo Xu calmly made an action on the outside, dribbling under his crotch and took a step back to meet Beverly's jump shot and hit a three-pointer. 13-4, with the 10th point.

When he returned to defense, Guo Xu did not have any celebration moves, only one Beverly defended, and the goal was taken for granted. If the Nets didn't double-team, he would shoot endlessly. Beverly was afraid of such a shooting player. When he was against a star point guard, he could only defend Paul, and Paul mainly made breakthroughs and mid-range shots.

Brown discussed with the assistant coach on the sidelines how to defend, defending Lillard alone like the Raptors, and preventing others was obviously not allowed.

The Nets attacked, James broke through again and fought fiercely with Tucker, jumped into the basket and had physical contact with Nurkic in the air, and the layup was missed.

The rebound was grabbed by Nurkic and he passed it to Guo Xu to fight back.

Beverly only knows a tough defense method. He is close to Guo Xu in the midfield and wants to make a mistake in dribbling back. As a result, Guo Xu has no idea of ​​slowing down or taking it back. He broke through the ball in a tank-like manner and directly knocked Beverly away, then changed direction and accelerated to get rid of it.

Guo Xu's ball-holding speed is the best in basketball, not only because of his fast speed, but also because of his strong strength, the thinner guards directly knocked away without complicated fake moves.

James followed Tucker to the bottom corner, Guo Xu made a quick stop and shot with one meter in the three-point line. The ball drew a perfect arc and entered the net hollow. 16 to 4, with the 13th point.

Brown requested a timeout and planned to adjust his defensive tactics, otherwise he would be beaten up in the first half. Even if he counterattacked, he would have to double-team Guo Xu.

Fans who watched the live broadcast online began to post to discuss the game. Many James shouted black whistle, thinking that Tucker had too much defense when he encountered James. He just fouled but the referee did not whistle.

In the Eastern Conference Finals, Coach Brown expressed dissatisfaction with the referee's judgment standards.

"He (James) never gets a whistle. I mean, he's constantly rushing. He's the player who breaks into the penalty area every night, and I don't think he's been treated fairly, just because he's strong enough and always knocks off the defenders, and the referees rarely give him a whistle. But those are fouls and we don't get a fair penalty. All we have to do is continue fighting under this penalty."

James, who averaged 6 free throws per game in the playoffs, seemed to be treated unfairly, and James and others were angry. Some James sighed: "After watching the foul on LeBron, I feel that the league has returned to violent basketball in the 1980s and 1990s."

In fact, the scale of the playoffs has always been looser than the regular season, and the confrontation is very fierce. Harden, who has the most free throws in the regular season, 10.2 times, and Westbrook, who has the most free throws in the playoffs, 7.8 times. So the question is, according to James' standard, how many free throws should James, a normal whistle average?

There is also Zhan Mi who gives advice to the coaching staff of the Nets. "Brown owes James several championships. He is just a waste and doesn't understand tactics at all. The Nets can definitely defend Guo Xu using Jordan's rules!"

The following message is left. "Does the first rule of Jordan make a three-pointer on the periphery? Isn't that the method that Lakers are using now to defend James?"

The game continued, and the Nets did not substitution. Brown just emphasized double-teaming Guo Xu and let others shoot, and Beverly wanted to post tighter.

Beverly thought to himself: I want to be tighter, but the problem is that I can't hold on. This guy is too strong!

He discovered this during the regular season. The skills he is good at are useless to Guo Xu, let alone Guo Xu, it is useless to Lillard.

Tucker let James go two more steps away, preventing breakouts but not shooting. James took the ball in the middle and chose to pull out three-pointers. Tucker immediately rushed out and reached out to interfere slightly, and the ball bounced out.

In the Lakers positional battle, Guo Xu was double-teamed and passed the ball in the half, and the bottom line formed a triangle with his teammates on the right. At this time, Tucker was at the bottom corner on the left, Horford transferred the ball to Carter and also went to the left, and the formation was completely opened.

The biggest feature of a triangle offense is that its position is particularly clear. As long as the player's IQ is fine, you will know how to deal with the ball. If Guo Xu attracts double teams and does not shoot the pass, Carter attracts the rest of the defense and can dribble the ball in the middle and then form a triangle with the two on the left. It is easy to get an empty space after transferring it.

The key to this tactic is that the stars must have the ability to attract double teams and divide the balls.

Guo Xu attracted Beverly and Smith to double-team at 45 degrees and gave it to Carter. The latter caught the ball and shot quickly and scored another three-pointer. 19 to 4, Guo Xu had the second assist.
