Although the Lakers' current record is not bad, most fans and the media are still more optimistic about the Heat's victory.

ESPN Radio organized 13 basketball experts to predict the outcome, and 11 experts still chose to be optimistic about the Heat's victory in the Christmas game, and they did not rule out that the two who chose to believe in the Lakers were childcare arranged by ESPN.After all, if it is really a 13:0 vote, it will not be conducive to the gambling industry to make money.

The Lakers' inside defense this season is below the league average. Anderson is better at assisting defense, blocking shots, and protecting rebounds, but the top defense is not good. He has been beaten by inside All-Star players many times this season.Yao Ming, Gasol, Duncan, and Jr. O'Neal all played above the average output level of the season against the Lakers, not to mention O'Neal who has punched hard since the beginning of the regular season this season.

However, for O'Neal, the Lakers are not unprepared. The team acquired Diop from the Cavaliers in the previous transaction, just to prepare for the wrestling with O'Neal.Facing Shaquille O'Neal, the center position is certain. Ke Yan designed a scientific sequence of battles. The three center forwards in the team, Diop, Mihm, and Anderson each have their own tasks and defensive methods, so strict that everyone has their own. It takes time to persist.

If it doesn't work, you can only use the shark-killing tactic.Prior to this, the Lakers beat Howard to death in the game against the Magic. This game can also allow O'Neal to relive his old dreams.

. . . . . .

On the afternoon of December 12th, the Christmas game between the Lakers and the Heat was held at the American Airlines Center Arena in Miami, and the arena was packed to the brim with fans.

More than [-] TV stations around the world broadcast the Christmas game live, and the attention even surpassed the Lakers VS Pistons in the finals of last season. This is the benefit of the enmity game.Everyone wants to hope that there will be a fair duel after OK separates!

CCTV’s Zhang Lili analyzed the lineups of both sides: “The Lakers, this season’s game pace is very fast. After they grab the rebound, they have a very strong awareness of offensive and defensive transitions. They rank third in the league in points per game and rank first in the league in fast break points Two, these are the performances that were impossible to perform when O'Neal was in the past. At the same time, after Kobe did not have O'Neal this season, his personal data also skyrocketed, which more or less proves that Kobe made sacrifices for the two of them together. Lakers The focus of the team today is still to play fast, which requires them to be better on the defensive end, because it is difficult for you to continue to launch counterattacks without defense."

"The advantage of the Heat is of course in positional warfare. The two Joneses (Eddie and Damon) on the outside have very accurate three-pointers. This kind of inside-out is very suitable. Wade is also a very talented young man People, compared to Kobe, he is more humble, and he also made it clear that O'Neal is here to lead us. This attitude makes O'Neal very happy, so the atmosphere of the team is very good, which is also the key to the Heat's good performance in the new season. "

After warming up, players from both sides played, and the Lakers changed their lineup, starting with five players: Atkins, Kobe, Butler, Odom, and Diop.

Heat: Damon Jones, Wade, Eddie Jones, Haslem, O'Neal.

Regarding the starting lineup, Zhang rationally said: "The Birdman we were optimistic about did not start. The Lakers reused the team's rookie Diop because his weight and strength are more suitable for defending O'Neal. There are many, but in the real matchup, O'Neal can't be guarded, let's see how Diop can play."

O'Neal won the jump ball, Wade caught the ball in the backcourt, dribbled the ball directly across the half court, faced Kobe's entanglement without sticking the ball, and passed it to Eddie Jones, who lobbed it to O'Neal, and faced his old club O'Neal. He was in a hurry to get the ball without being in a good position. He took the ball behind his back and hit Diop hard, grabbed a favorable offensive position, and then made a second push, hitting the space and ushered in Odom and Diaw at the same time Pu's pincer attack, forced to turn to the baseline, relying on Diop's defensive hands to dunk and score. 2:0.

"If you have Joe, choose Joe, if you don't have Joe, choose Shark." This is a famous saying among Chinese fans, which is enough to describe O'Neal's deterrent power.His physical fitness is abnormal. Not only is he strong, but he also turns around very fast. Even after he has passed his peak, he is still unstoppable.

Anderson on the sidelines saw Diop being "easily" knocked away by O'Neal, with a weird expression on his face.He is very aware of Diop's brute force.

Crazy as a bird, he also felt that if he was defending O'Neal on the field at this moment, he would be knocked to the ground by O'Neal at the first hit.

The Lakers attacked, and Atkins slowly led the half court and passed to Kobe.

Diop and Atkins were outside the left three-point line, Butler went to the right corner, Odom was at the right corner, and the formation was completely stretched.Kobe singled Wade with the ball in the middle, dribbled the ball to the right, and his body suddenly changed. Almost everyone didn't see clearly that he turned sideways and suddenly went to Wade's right.

Wade took a step back subconsciously, tilted his body, and blocked Kobe's breakthrough line, but Kobe turned around, then jumped up, raised his hand and shot, the ball strongly rubbed through the net, and made a hasty sound.

The Heat's offense is more similar to the routine. Diop desperately pushed and shoved O'Neal to catch the ball in an uncomfortable position, but O'Neal's physical fitness was too strong for Diop to handle. O'Neal still ended the offense with a dunk. .

After two consecutive offenses and dunks, O'Neal took the "overlord step" on the way back to the defense to interact with the fans.But this time the home fans were not in the mood to interact with him, because before O'Neal dunked the basketball and hadn't turned around, Diop had already served the ball, and the Lakers quickly advanced past halftime. Time to launch a blitzkrieg.

Eddie Jones has rich experience. He fouled Kobe in advance and prevented Kobe from completing his shooting action to cheat free throws.

The Lakers served the ball at halftime, and Atkins caught the ball through a screen. Kobe shouted and stretched out a finger. Atkins immediately understood and passed the ball to Odom.The latter swayed a bit, carried it hard into the inside, and after attracting the attention of the two defenders, he suddenly passed the ball out again. Atkins caught the ball without pausing, and opened his hand and passed it to the left for a three-pointer Kobe outside the line.

Kobe took two steps out, caught the ball, turned around, and strode toward the bottom line.Wade clung to the back into the paint.After a fierce confrontation, Kobe did not squeeze into the inside, slowed down, and took a step back.

Just when everyone thought Kobe was going to pass the ball, because if this continues, it will be a 24-second timeout, and the variables appear again.

Kobe slapped the ball suddenly, then took advantage of the opportunity to hold the ball with both hands, jumped in with a step, jumped over Wade, straightened up, raised the ball and shot, the ball scored, 4 to 4.

The Heat's next round of offense is still initiated by O'Neal. This time O'Neal's position is very deep. As soon as he catches the ball and takes a dribble, Odom retreats to help defend, with his arms raised high, while Diop continues. Died behind him.

Feeling the pressure, O'Neal passed the ball to Haslem, who was cruising to the free throw line, took aim and made a mid-range hit.

The terrible thing about O'Neal is not only the killing of the inside, but also one of the reasons why he can "make stars" after attracting double-teams. Outside shooters and inside partners can benefit from this.

Even if Ke Yan is a reborn person, he has done enough psychological construction, and even knows that what he sees now is not the peak O'Neill, but he still feels that the destructive power of this fat man is really too strong!

Of course, the strategy of the Lakers is also very obvious now, which is to consume O'Neal's physical strength to the greatest extent through Diop's hard top and Odom's pincer attack from time to time.He will be 33 years old in two months. His athletic ability is incomparable to when he was young, and he has no way to make air cuts. Following these technical moves, he mainly relies on the inside to make holes. He has nothing to do with Diop. Yes, it is very exhausting to fight hand-to-hand with coolies.

Atkins dribbled the ball across half court, Kobe ran up from the left corner, Odom set an off-ball screen for Kobe, blocked Wade, then caught the ball and cut inside, Wade and Hasler Mu switched defenses, Kobe caught the ball and singled Haslem, and missed a mid-range shot after shaking his opponent away.

The play was played out, and Kobe couldn't make the shot.But Ke Yan still praised this attack.

Keep playing like this, the chances are great.In addition to Kobe Bryant's singles Haslem is the advantage, Lamar Odom and Wade should also have the upper hand in grabbing rebounds.
