Players’ shooting is half talent and half hard practice.

Many people make excuses for NBA players who are not accurate in shooting, saying that their hands are too big, their hands are too small, their posture is not standard, their muscles are too strong, etc. It is nonsense. People who are not accurate are unwilling to practice more, and proficiency is made.

Of course, except for O'Neal, who is so thick that he doesn't have both arms. Most people with normal size are willing to practice hard like Dirk Nowitzki and Stephen Curry, they will not even be able to avoid being able to score free throws.

No one is a natural and unsolvable sharpshooter. Even the talented Curry is not born with three-pointers that are shocking and terrifying. This is because he was born in a basketball family. He had a shooting father and a point guard mother who taught him to play basketball since he was a child.

Guo Xu's predecessor had a good shot. He had been practicing hard in middle school and was able to earn a scholarship from Michigan State University by shooting, which resulted in the rebirth getting a bargain. Otherwise, he would not be able to achieve this level based on his exercise in the time cycle.

The Spurs attacked the pick-and-roll, and Johnson passed the ball to Robinson in the middle. Robinson, who was 216cm tall, had a range and had a height advantage against Grant. He missed the jump shot under interference, and Fox grabbed a defensive rebound.

Guo Xu dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and this time he stretched out two fingers. O'Neal came out to pick-and-roll and wanted to score two points. Johnson weighed about the same as Guo Xu, and O'Neal doubled. After the cover, he completely stuck the person. Guo Xu took the ball on the right and broke through, attracting Duncan to replace the defense.

Duncan couldn't do it without changing defenses. Guo Xu speeded up and forced himself to the bottom line without fake moves. If he didn't follow him, he could make a layup directly. O'Neal squeezed away from Johnson in the middle and cut into the basket.

Guo Xu turned around to the bottom line and passed the ball to O'Neal who rushed forward. The latter took the ball and jumped up with one step, dunked with both hands. Duncan turned around and defended too late, so he didn't dare to reach out.

8-3, Guo Xu gave his first assist and grabbed the Spurs' weakness at the beginning!

Duncan's defensive ability is recognized as the top-notch, with supplementary defense, single defense, and assisted defense. If you want to say what weaknesses he has, it is that he is unable to do anything when encountering a pick-and-roll. He has no choice but to rush out as a fierce man like O'Neal. If you want to foul, you have to attack in advance, otherwise you may be blocked.

Johnson's small body could not stop the "Big Shark" for half a second, unless he fell to the ground like Van Gundy defended Mooning and hugged O'Neal's thighs tightly, then O'Neal would have to drag his personal attack and the air cut could not be fast.

Johnson played pick-and-roll, and the left breakthrough was caught by Guo Xu, and passed the ball to Anderson on the side, who faced Kobe.

Johnson was taken two steps away, but he had the opportunity to shoot three-pointers but did not dare to take action. He knew that he had a breakthrough and never thought of training three-pointers. In the 96-97 season, he played 76 games, made a total of 6 of 26 shots outside the three-point line, and shot 23.1% of his shooting percentage. This is his best performance in his career.

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

Anderson is good at receiving and shooting balls, and he can't beat Kobe with his personal ability. He took two steps to find the ball and passed it to Duncan.

Duncan made a 45-degree face frame on the right, took a step forward with his left foot and shot the iron, and Grant grabbed a defensive rebound.

In the Lakers' positional battle, Guo Xu played pick-and-roll with O'Neal again, attracting the defense and then being assigned to the middle. O'Neal cut in with the ball. This time Robinson retracted the basket to make up for defense, blocking O'Neal for a while, and Duncan turned around and let go of Guo Xu to double-team.

Facing double-teaming in the penalty area between the two towers, no one in the league can win the advantage, and O'Neal can't do it either. The value of a superstar lies in his reading of the game and his understanding of tactics. O'Pang can not only score on his own, but also lead his teammates.

O'Neal took the ball with both hands and lowered the center of gravity and pushed Robinson, posing as a strong attack, and half turned around and passed the ball to Grant outside the penalty area on the left, creating an open shot opportunity.

Unfortunately, Grant missed the open mid-range shot, and Duncan grabbed the backcourt rebound. Grant's defense is always loose. If his mid-range shot is more accurate, the Lakers will be invincible.

Guo Xu did not retreat and went forward to press. Duncan wanted to take advantage of O'Neal's return to defend and counterattack, but made a mistake in passing the ball.

Guo Xu's 190cm arm span played a role and poked the basketball off, accelerated straight away from the basketball, picked up the basketball, took three steps and pretended to pass the ball in O'Neal, and picked the ball on the left to score.

10 to 3. Guo Xu’s 8th personal score.

This is a gambling steal. Once it fails, it will be beaten and 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 be dissatisfied with such things. As long as the team leads the score, the players can play at will. He is lazy on the sidelines.

The Spurs attacked, Johnson did not look for cover, and dribbled in succession and changed direction to pass Guo Xu, attracting Fox to make up for defense and pass the ball, assisting Elliot to score a mid-range shot. 10-5.

The Lakers attacked, Guo Xu and O'Neal played pick-and-roll, broke through on the right to attract the inside to substitute defense, and O'Neal attracted double-teams to pass the ball to the perimeter. Grant provided Kobe with an unstoppable cover, and the latter caught the ball and scored a three-pointer.

Kobe's shooting curve was flat and bounced far. Fox grabbed the offensive rebound and handed it to O'Neal from close range. O'Neal turned around and grabbed it, dunked it with one hand, and Duncan did not block it. 12 to 5.

Duncan immediately beat O'Neal and returned one, turned around on the right and made a shot, 12-7.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe did not hold the ball for several rounds, and his eyes began to get angry, giving Guo Xu a death glare. Guo Xu thought that he had an advantage in fighting Anderson alone, so he passed the ball over.

Kobe took the ball frame in one step inside the three-point line on the right and made a three-threatening posture. After exploring the steps, he changed direction to break through the bottom line, and accelerated over Anderson in one step, causing Anderson to foul the batsman.

Kobe made both free throws, 14-7.

Woodson said: "The Lakers lost to the Supersonics in the game, and the players were not in shape. Today, their mental outlook was completely renewed. The ok combination became a trident, and the Spurs couldn't defend themselves at the beginning."

Hovas said: "If the Spurs want to win, they have to fight the Lakers today, and they have to play the tactics."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Spurs players began to cover the ball without the ball, support the inside, and cut the wings and other routines. Duncan and Robinson pulled out to withdraw the inside, Duncan attracted O'Neal to pass the ball, and Anderson cut the ball on the right to hit the basket, and made a layup to make a foul.

Anderson made one of two free throws, 14-8.

Guo Xu dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, stretched out three fingers, and O'Neal got stuck at the basket again, preparing to grab the frontcourt rebound. The four teammates completely pulled away, and Guo Xu had plenty of room to do the moves in the middle.

He ignored Kobe who wanted the ball on the right, dribbled the ball under his crotch in the middle, and then looked up his left shoulder, holding the ball with his left hand and changed direction to the right. Johnson moved horizontally and followed, Guo Xu dribbled the ball behind his right hand and gave it to his left hand again, moved across the side and then took the step out of the three-point line, jumping in the middle.

This is Johnson's 13th season of his 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 jumping, but just reached out to interfere slightly. This was of no effect on Guo Xu, who was determined to take action. It was as simple as training to shoot, and the ball entered.
