Although Tim Hardaway is the weakest part of the Heat's defense, Tim Hardaway does not need to do so much on the defensive end. His task is to make up for the three-pointers from the outside. Jamal Marshburn is a point that the Lakers can really target. The Heat need to undertake heavy defensive tasks at the 2-5th position. In these positions, the weakest one of the Heat is Jamal Marshburn.

Obviously, the Lakers have made targeted offensive preparations in this regard.

Mo Ning, who is still 3 months away from 28 years old, and PJ Brown, 28 years old, have the ability to defend first, while the latter is a defensive expert at the second level. With these two, the Heat's inside defense is suffocating!

Zhang Hao and O'Neal want to go to the inside, so they can only play the role of restraining and robbing. When the two press on the inside, the opportunities created often appear in Doug Christie.

When the Lakers were attacking, Kenny Anderson, Rick Fox and Zhang Hao tried hard to find a way to expand the shooting distance... The effect was average.

Heat players are either young or very fast like Tim Hardaway. PJ Brown 86 is also enough to switch defenses at mid- and long distances, and high-speed rounds of defense conversion. Pat Riley plays a terrible move. The Lakers try to open the situation from mid- and long distances, so that O'Neal has enough inside singles or direct shots, but they fail to succeed.

The Heat's offense is different from the Lakers' first rotation stage Kenny Anderson starts the main attack mode. Tim Hardaway still pushed the ball through the half and passed it out. Jamal Marshburn takes the ball to attack.

From the statistics, we can see that Tim Hardaway averages assists per game after coming to the Heat, but his evaluation of his organizational offensive ability is increasing year by year!

Compared with the Warriors, when he first came to the Heat, Tim Hardaway had done a better job of allocating ball rights and his ability to catch and shoot was also improving.

Jamal Marshburn made a three-pointer in the outside single Doug Christie, Doug Christie was hit again, Jamal Marshburn made a three-pointer with a step back!

Jamal Mashburn has comprehensive offensive skills, but to say that every skill is very good, it is not. His physical fitness is excellent, but he is still slightly inferior to the best ones. However, he is very good at using his physical fitness and technology! The timing of making moves in singles, and his keen judgment of the defender's trends... Comprehensive singles ability, all players in the league who focus on small forwards, even Grant Hill, are inferior.

Originally, in time and space, Jamal Marshburn had a particularly good thing in the future - he was the draft template for LeBron James and Cameron Anthony.

Doug Christie is also in trouble. He is the one with the strongest single defense ability in the Lakers' outside. As long as they are not a speed point guard, no matter who the Lakers play, he is the one with the strongest singles ability in the outside. But when he defends ordinary players, first-class stars defend well and even limits the opponent to death, no one mentioned it. When the Lakers play a popular strong team and he is suppressed by top stars, hey, people noticed him.

In fact, there are many defensive masters similar to Doug Christie. They always have to face the strongest singles against the opponent, and they are always beaten... But who made Doug Chris a Lakers player?

When the Lakers attacked, Kenny Anderson continued to make a single breakthrough. When Zhang Hao arrived in the frontcourt, he discovered the opponent's defensive changes. The Heat chose to shrink downward after Kenny Anderson broke through!

However, Zhang Hao still chose to cut in the inside, borrowing Jason Williams' unball pick-and-roll from the weak side, and speeded up, went straight to the basket, slipped through the bottom line, Kenny Anderson broke through to the right side of the three-second zone, and passed it to Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao took the ball and took a step towards the bottom corner, turned over, and made a two-pointer shot... hit!

Dan Marley had already pounced on him, but Zhang Hao turned over and turned around. Dan Marley couldn't even stick it up to fight and interfere with Zhang Hao!

Kenny Anderson caught the opportunity for breakthrough this time very well. He naturally saw the changes in the opponent's defensive end, and saw the opponent consciously cut off his pass-and-receive limit in the top arc and the high-position area, and cooperated with Zhang Hao in a tacit understanding.

13-15, the Lakers continue to keep the score tight!

When the Heat attacked, the Lakers paid more attention to Jamal Mashburn's defense. Doug Christie was close to Jamal Mashburn, not caring about the opponent's breakthrough. Jamal Mashburn broke through to the middle distance and was supplemented by Brent Barry and distributed to Tim Hardaway. Tim Hardaway received the ball from the right sideline and passed the ball straight through the top arc. Terry Mills ran out, received the ball, and turned the top arc and made a three-pointer...

Hit!

This ball is Jason Williams' problem. The Heat's two inside players are off the ball and pick-and-roll, starting and playing in the rotation stage. It was originally Zhang Hao who defended Terry Mills. After PJ Brown helped Terry Mills block Zhang Hao, Jason Williams did not move well enough when changing defense. He worked very hard, but his ability was there. Terry Mills had already made the turn when he rushed on.

Obviously, Terry Mills, the big brother, knows Jason Williams' defensive ability very well. Terry Mills was the one who brought Jason Williams to play. Originally, the Heat could have created a three-pointer opportunity for Tim Hardaway, but if there was a chance to create a three-pointer opportunity for Terry Mills, of course, it would have been for Terry Mills.

This inside swinger who used to be athletic rushing style, now has gained weight, three-pointers are becoming more and more stable, and his talent is really good. He is 123 kilograms. He looks so fat, but he still has a slightly higher movement ability than the average power forward. He is so lazy and has been getting fat, but his attendance rate has always been very good. He has basically attended all the time in the past six years, and his talent is really nothing to say. God feeds him.

The original scrambler style averaged 17 points and 8 rebounds per game, but now he has no ability to score, relying solely on running shooting, and he also has the ability to average 10+ points per game.

18-15, the Heat widened the gap to 5 points!

Entering the rotation stage, the Heat continued to widen the gap as soon as they came up, scoring two three-pointers in a row!

Pat Riley's rotation adjustment this time is mainly about the offseason signing work, and he did a really good job, giving him more rotation options.

For example, no one would have thought that the Heat would be the second highest three-point shooting per game in the new season, second only to the Seattle Supersonics with 7.2 three-point shooting per game.

Fortunately, Zhang Hao and Kenny Anderson performed steadily. Doug Christie and Brent Barry pulled apart. Kenny Anderson broke through, Zhang Haoche, Jason Williams and other opportunities to eat the cake. The opponent suppressed the defense. Zhang Hao and Kenny Anderson shot, and the two wings contracted, so they preached Doug Christie and Brent Barry.

The score was mainly due to Zhang Hao and Kenny Anderson's shooting, and the stalemate with the Heat was relied on this.

The Heat were mainly attacked by Jamal Marshburn, Tim Hardaway's transfer ball, three-pointers from Terry Mills and Dan Marley and PJ Brown's mid-range shot return. The Heat's offense was also very stable. If they didn't think about who they had to give the ball, they would give it to whoever they were most suitable.

However, at this time, the Lakers' advantage is still more obvious. At 10 minutes and 44 seconds in the first quarter, Zhang Hao judged that Jamal Mashburn, who broke into the right baseline, wanted to shoot, move quickly, and Kenny Anderson, who defended Tim Hardaway, grabbed the ball and started a counterattack!

Zhang Hao dragged behind, Brent Barry quickly took the threat of the title of "Dunk King" to attract the Heat's attention to retreating from defense. Zhang Hao followed up to catch the ball and scored a three-pointer, 23-26, and the Lakers narrowed the gap to 3 points.

When the Heat attacked, Jamal Mashburn attacked for nearly half a quarter. It was Tim Hardaway's turn to make a single shot, which was a bit sluggish. He broke into the basket and was disturbed by Zhang Hao who moved the bottom line in time.

The Heat retreated quickly this time and did not give the Lakers a quick break. After Zhang Hao arrived at the front court, he moved to the left bottom line, which triggered a fierce booing at the scene.
