On the next possession.
The Lakers no longer collapsed their defense.
Instead, they switched to man-to-man defense.
But with man-to-man defense,
the weaknesses in the Lakers' individual defense were exposed.
Danny Russell dribbled the ball.
Zhang Jiacheng defended him.
Using his speed, he blew past Zhang Jiacheng in a single step.
He drove into the mid-range.

was also effortless.
Over the past two seasons,
his team had instructed him that when dunking during games,
he should avoid jumping whenever possible.
Because he was too tall,
the strain on his ankles and knees was immense.
If he jumped to dunk,
setting aside the impact on his ankles and knees when he landed,

Shan He also blew past the opposing Shooting Guard, Duke Jin, in one step.
Then he drove into the mid-range.
But this time, when he got
