Chapter 153. Chapter 153.

After returning from the second quarter, the two sides also temporarily replaced the substitute lineup to compete.

With the Magic lineup neat, the firepower on the bench is definitely very fierce.

The outside trio not only has Nelson, Redick and Courtney Lee, but also has the Polish hammer Gortat inside.

It can be said that when these teams are combined, whether it is shooting from inside or outside, or the defense of the penalty area, they can pose a considerable threat.

So when the Magic has a well-organized lineup, the bench lineup can definitely be regarded as a clear stream in the league.

Especially Courtney Lee, as a rookie who just entered the league in the [-] draft like Su Jiu, Courtney Lee's current growth rate is definitely very fast.

Although he can't compete with many talents in this year, he can definitely be regarded as a relatively reliable and stable candidate among this year's rookies.

We must know that among the 60 players in the annual draft conference, an average of 20 players can gain a foothold in the league, which is considered a good draft result.

In this year's draft, many talents suddenly appeared, such as Rose, Mayo, Beasley, Su Jiu, Westbrook, Love, Lopez, etc...

So this year's draft is also called a very exciting one.

Compared with the Magic, although the Trail Blazers' bench lineup cannot be compared with the Magic's, the Trail Blazers is definitely not bad when it comes to the bench lineup.

This is naturally headed by the famous lightning player Fernandez in the league.

As a well-known outside shooter in the league, Fernandez can be said to be one of the deadliest outside shooters in this era.

Because of the very fast speed of the shot, it is also called the Lightning Hand by people.

Before the substitute lineup came on the field, Van Gundy also found Courtney Lee and asked him to mark Fernandez on the court. From this, we can see Van Gundy's gradual reuse of Xiao Li.

In addition to Lightning Fernandez, the Blazers are currently sitting on the bench with Nicholas Zhao Sier...

Pooh!

It's Nicolas Batum...

This man known as French Pippen is actually very famous in later generations, because his style of play can be said to be very comprehensive.

If it weren't for the relatively broken defense, then he would definitely be worthy of the title of Pippen's second generation.

It's just a pity that no matter what kind of worth or contract the later generations of Batum have played, Batum in the current period is just a rookie who has just been selected with the 25th overall pick in the first round of this year and then traded to the Trail Blazers.

Under such circumstances, Batum's even getting playing time has become a luxury, and he doesn't talk about possession of the ball with Roy's side.

Therefore, during this period, Batum's comprehensive personal ability on the field was simply unable to be displayed, and he is currently being used by McMillan as a wing pitcher to blind Jba.

Courtney Lee's defense against Fernandez was very good during the confrontation between the two sides' bench lineups.

Since Fernandez's shot speed is very fast, McMillan also arranged a lot of running tactics for him on the bench.

Use Fernandez to play the off-ball running role, and then receive a pass from a teammate for a quick three-pointer.

To put it simply, it is a bit similar to the tactics that the Warriors of later generations arranged for Curry and Thompson.

However, when defending Fernandez's off-ball running, Courtney Lee also worked very hard, basically sticking to Fernandez's body.

When encountering the pick-and-roll, Xiao Li also actively bypassed it, and tried his best to prevent Fernandez from making easy and comfortable shots.

This kind of defense that is really like a mad dog also caused a lot of offensive troubles for Fernandez.

After all, Fernandez failed to grow into a better player because his body is slightly thin, and it is difficult to guarantee the shooting rate after the confrontation. This has always been a shortcoming that he has not been able to improve.

It is precisely because of this that limits Fernandez from becoming a historical pitcher.

And Fernandez failed to lead the Trail Blazers to open the situation on the bench, which also directly reduced the Blazers' offensive firepower.

Therefore, in the contest between the two sides' bench lineups, the Magic has been suppressing the Blazers, and even the score is gradually increasing.

Seeing this situation, McMillan off the court was also a little anxious, and he knew in his heart that it was impossible to be the opponent of the Magic if they relied solely on the bench lineup.

Therefore, in the next few dead ball stages, McMillan also gradually made some adjustments to the lineup on the field, and gradually brought the main players back to the field.

Seeing McMillan's employment, Stan Van Gundy did not dare to be careless.

After all, the Magic have finally come down on the cusp of the wind recently. If they lose to the Trail Blazers again in this game, then I am afraid that the trend that was finally stopped will be re-driven by the media.

So with the passage of time, the two sides gradually replaced their starting lineups.

After all the starting lineups on both sides came back, the Blazers also started a fierce offensive to chase points.

Huang Mambaroy, who kept a low profile in the first quarter, finally ushered in a personal explosion in the second half of the second quarter.

Facing Pietrus' defense, even though Pietrus' defense has been done very well, Roy can still hit various difficult mid-range shots after the pick-and-roll.

In the face of Roy's sudden rise of personal offensive, the Magic did not dare to directly use the double-team strategy after the pick-and-roll.

After all, Roy's overall view on the court can be described as very good. As a shooting guard, he averaged 5 assists per game, which is definitely not too common even in the league.

Fortunately, although Roy started his personal offensive performance in the second half of the second quarter, Su Jiu never stopped his offensive touch.

Whether facing Blake or Rodriguez, Su Jiu possesses crushing athletic ability.

In addition, Su Jiu is also very focused and eager for the offensive end in this game, which also makes Su Jiu the biggest obstacle in the way of the Blazers chasing points for a while.

In the end, at the end of halftime, the Magic still played at home with:

49:44

Leading the Blazers by five points ended the first half contest between the two sides.

For the two teams, the Magic and the Trail Blazers, there is one thing in common, that is, whether it is Oden or Howard in the first half, the performance of both of them can be described as relatively low-key, and their presence on the offensive end is not very high.

Because both of them are talented centers with excellent physical talents, if they play together in low-post singles, I am afraid that the final efficiency will only be very low.

This also caused the two people to have a feeling of exchange for each other throughout the first half. This scene also made all the fans on the scene never expect it.

For those fans who originally wanted to watch the head-to-head duel between the two talented centers, this game inexplicably became a confrontation between Su Jiu, Lewis, Roy, and Aldridge.

I have to say that sometimes the trend of the game is really confusing...
