When Alston and Johnson are bringing the ball up the court and they are being guarded by LeBron james, how doesnt this not count?

If the one man zone was effective, why did they go away from it? Perhaps because the man who was not being guarded, alston, hit a couple of open jumpers (11 pts)? Hmmmm
You have to stop the ball. That is a basic rule in defense and alston isnt a threat to get to the basket or do anything once he gets there. Self check. So once the ball is passed that is when the play starts.
I dont know how many magic games you watched but they are not a pg dominated offense especially when the little guy got injured.
5 on 4 not man to man.
