The convulsion superstar of basketball

Chapter 215 214.I can do of things (one more)

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

Because LeBron James and Mo Williams on the Cavaliers are basically on the court at the same time.

So the main offensive points of the Cavaliers on the court are Daniel Gibson and Delonty West, who got a short rest in the first quarter.

Although Delonte West can only be regarded as a sesame-sized figure in the NBA, he is still able to contribute 11.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game this season.

It can be said that when James and Mo Williams are not on the court, then Delonte West is the absolute commander on the court.

On the other hand, the Magic team, because Courtney Lee was put on the starting lineup, it also greatly weakened the Magic team's second lineup. The current lineup of the Magic team in the second quarter is:

Nelson, Redick, Keith Bogans, Tony Barty and Gortat.

Bogans' average playing time per game this season is very limited. It can be said that Van Gundy will only send him out when the garbage time and point difference are large.

At least in so many games this season, Bogans only played a total of seven games, and his sense of presence can be said to be very low.

Bogans' position on the court is a very standard defensive player, and his main task on the court is to be responsible for defending the sharp knife-level figures on the opposite side.

As for the offensive end, after experiencing several injuries in his career, Bogans' offensive ability has basically degraded to a loose state.

And due to the joining of Courtney Lee this season, Bogans' playing time has been compressed, and so far he has been excluded from the regular rotation.

And Van Gundy chose to send him to play in this game is really a helpless move, after all, the team currently has limited players.

It can be said that in today's second team, all the offensive tasks are basically on Nelson's body.

After all, except for Nelson, the offensive ability of others is too limited. Even JJ Redick in this period can only act as an off-ball pitcher.

And the proportion on the offensive end is really very small, at least it is really incomparable with the Clippers later.

With the brief confrontation between the two sides in the second quarter, the Magic has always been at a disadvantage.

Facing Daniel Gibson's defense, although Nelson has a good advantage on the offensive end, he is also blown by the opponent on the defensive end.

After all, Daniel Gibson was able to contribute 22 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists this season when he averaged 1.9 minutes per game.

Stan Van Gundy looked helpless off the field as the team lost ground in the competition for the bench lineup.

Even for the first time, I felt that the team's lineup still has a lot of room for improvement.

At least with the current lineup, even if they make it to the playoffs, they will probably face a big disadvantage.

What's more, no one can predict when the injury will come on the field. Once the Magic is injured again in the playoffs, this loophole will definitely be very fatal.

So at this moment, Stan Van Gundy is also contemplative, even thinking about how to make a wave of reinforcements to the lineup.

With the continuation of the game on the court, the Magic has also been on the side of being suppressed, and the situation has not improved at all.

Looking at the time on the court, Van Gundy gradually took over his main lineup during a dead ball stage.

Stan Van Gundy is not a player who likes to overuse the bench.

Although it is not possible to use the terrifying seven-man rotation like D'Antoni in later generations, if the main players can play more, Van Gundy will never let him play less.

So with more than 9 minutes left in the second quarter, Van Gundy took the lead to get Howard back and let Su Jiu continue to sit on the sidelines to rest.

Compared to Su Jiu, Howard also got about 2 minutes of rest time in the first quarter, so he was the first to be taken back to the court by Van Gundy at this moment.

Judging from the current situation of this game, it is better for Su Jiu and Howard to keep one of them on the court, otherwise the Magic will really not be able to open up the situation on the offensive end.

Relying on Nelson's unreliable offensive efficiency alone, it is really impossible to lead the Magic out of the quagmire.

With Howard back on the court, the Magic's offensive focus on the court instantly became very obvious.

That is, as soon as halftime passes, he will try his best to hand the ball to Howard in the low post. Once Howard faces double-teaming in the low post, other players only need to be ready to catch and shoot.

While this style of play may seem simple, it's how the Magic have played for the past two seasons.

And in this day and age, all offensive tactics seem to be very simple. As long as the team has superstars, then others are destined to play the role of green leaves.

However, after Howard returned to the court, Mike Brown also gave the players on the court the first time.

Once Howard is too close to the basket with the ball in the low post, other players will immediately double-team him.

Rather than allowing other players to face better shooting space on the court, Mike Brown does not allow Howard to have one-on-one easy singles on the court.

It can also be seen from this that Mike Brown has indeed formulated a set of very sophisticated defensive tactics for this game.

If Su Jiu hadn't caught the Cavaliers by surprise in the first quarter, then the current situation of the Cavaliers on the court would definitely be more favorable.

Seeing that Howard has been being targeted after returning to the court, although Van Gundy is a little anxious in his heart, he can only pray that other players try to hit the damn point as much as possible.

And in his heart, Van Gundy has been calculating the rest time, trying to stabilize the situation on the field while ensuring that Su Jiu's physical strength can be recovered.

However, as the Cavaliers Pavlovich made another hit from outside the three-point line, the current Magic is already behind the Cavaliers by as much as 6 points.

Glancing at the time on the field, Van Gundy finally gritted his teeth and waved his hand towards Su Jiu, taking Su Jiu who was off the field ahead of time.

Although the Magic team lacked an offensive starting point in this game, it is very important to reasonably allocate the playing time of Su Jiu and Howard.

But for Van Gundy, at this stage of the game, if the team can't improve, then it won't be able to survive the final decisive moment.

Once the team dug too much of a hole in the first three quarters, after the fourth quarter, even if Su Jiu and Howard maintained sufficient physical strength, it would be difficult to fill the hole easily.

"Su, get ready to play. Dwight has been under attack this game, and his condition is not very good."

"So after you play for a while, try to master the team's offense on the field. Remember, don't have too much psychological pressure. If even you can't let go and play, then the team will be really dangerous in this game."

Hearing Van Gundy's serious face, Su Jiu nodded subconsciously:

"Okay, I understand."

Taking a deep breath, Su Jiu also took off his rest clothes, and then took advantage of the dead ball stage to replace Nelson on the court, and made his debut again.

And Su Jiu only rested for less than 4 minutes this time. If he continued to play at this pace, then Su Jiu's playing time for the entire game would probably reach more than 40 minutes.

You must know that for a rookie player, playing 40 minutes is a very terrible thing.

After all, since they have just entered the league, rookie players have not yet developed their personal peak state physically, so compared with those stars who have entered their prime, they have a great disadvantage in physical strength.

Once the playing time is too much, the hit rate will naturally drop, and in the case of unstable foundation, there may be hidden dangers of injury.

This is also the main reason why rookie players rarely average more than 35 minutes per game during their rookie season.

Even outside of the roster, most rookies only get around 20 minutes in their first year.

But in the face of this situation, Van Gundy is really dumb and unable to tell.

As for the distribution of physical strength, Stan Van Gundy, as the head coach, probably knows better than anyone, but he is really in a difficult position in the current situation.

After all, this game is not a one-sided situation for the Magic, and there is even a great possibility of defeating the Cavaliers in the absence of Lewis.

That's why Van Gundy gritted his teeth and increased Su Jiu's playing time in search of a chance.

If Su Jiu doesn't return to the court to lead the Magic back on track as soon as possible, then after halftime, the Magic may be on the verge of receiving a box lunch.

Seeing the substitutions on the Magic's side, Mike Brown didn't dare to be careless at all, and got back most of his main lineup in the first place.

Of course, there must be LeBron James among them. After all, the average playing time of LeBron James this season has reached 40 minutes.

And this seems to have become a habit for James, and even a normal thing.

If one day James' playing time is less than 35 minutes, then the Cavaliers will definitely face a big lead or lag in this game...

James: "What?? There are still people in the league who average less than 35 minutes per game?! You lied to me!! This is impossible!!"

After stabilizing his emotions, Su Jiu also returned to the field. It has to be said that Su Jiu's pressure at this moment is also very huge.

Because when he first entered the league, he directly joined this magic team with great potential.

There are all-star figures like Howard and Lewis around him, so Su Jiu can be said to play relatively easily in most cases without too much pressure.

After all, most of the pressure was carried by Howard, and playing beside Howard and Lewis, the defensive pressure Su Jiu faced was not very great.

Because no matter which team is about to face the Magic, the first thought is how to limit Howard's performance at the basket, rather than whether Su Jiu will continue to convulse in this game...

However, as Su Jiu played more smoothly, more dazzlingly, and became more and more famous, this also allowed him to successfully enter the field of vision of various teams.

It also made other teams deeply understand a truth. At this time, this Magic team is no longer as simple as just Howard and Lewis. On the outside, there is still an undrafted demon star, Su Jiu.

This kind of scene also gradually increased the pressure on Su Jiu in the next few games.

At this moment, with Lewis watching from the sidelines and Howard's state in a slump, Su Jiu felt more and more pressure.

Even in this game, I felt an unprecedented pressure.

This is the first time after Su Jiu stepped into the NBA, he felt that the power of life and death of the team would fall into his own hands? !

As a rookie, I have to say that this feeling really surprised Su Jiu, but behind the surprise, there was even greater pressure hidden...

This kind of pressure also made Su Jiu unconsciously think of Kobe in his previous life. After O'Neal traveled east, Kobe led the Lakers who hadn't got Pau Gasol to move forward.

I am afraid that Kobe at that time had to face not only the pressure on the court, but also the pressure from the fans and the media off the court.

So at this moment, Su Jiu really doesn't know how Kobe survived at that time, and how he climbed to the No.1 throne in the league step by step...

After holding the ball for halftime, Su Jiu found that Mo Williams didn't defend himself immediately this time, but got stuck two steps away from the three-point line.

It seems that there is an invisible red line in that position, and once Su Jiu steps into this field, he will face Mo Williams' mad dog-like defense.

Seeing the smile on Mo Williams' face at the moment, and making a mean gesture to himself, Su Jiu seemed to understand the Cavaliers' defensive intentions in an instant.

When Su Jiu turned his head to look at the head coach of the Cavaliers off the field, Mike Brown, he saw that Mike Brown was standing off the field with his arms crossed, looking at Su Jiu who was facing him, and also made a gesture of please with a mean smile on his face.

Seeing that the Cavaliers' defensive strategy was exhausted and devoid of conscience, Su Jiu also felt a little funny.

He even couldn't help but uttered a lip-smacking to Mike Brown off the field.

After turning around, Su Jiu looked at Mo Williams who was two steps away from him. After halftime, Su Jiu continued to take two steps forward, and then directly completed the shot three steps away from the three-point line! !

This shot directly shocked all the fans, and even exclaimed in surprise.

Because Su Jiu's shots from outside the three-point line are getting farther and farther every time. Before, he shot two steps away from the three-point line, but this time he shot directly three steps away from the three-point line! ! !

Seeing Su Jiu make a shot from such a far away position, Mo Williams didn't seem too surprised.

Instead, he immediately looked back at the shot that drew an arc in the air at this moment. Even at the moment Su Jiu made the shot, Mo Williams let out a long breath.

The arc drawn by the ball in the air seemed to compress time step by step, making the people at the scene feel that time passed so slowly at this moment.

"Shu~"

But before the fans at the scene could make up too many pictures, the sound of the basketball hitting the net, which was originally not loud, exploded directly in front of everyone's ears like a thunderbolt.

"My God!!"

"God!!"

"Su!!"

Under the excited and shocking cheers of the fans at the scene, Su Jiu also shrugged slightly to Mo Williams in front of him.

It's like saying:

"Thank you for your invitation, I will vote this ball first as a respect..."

And when Su Jiu looked at the Cavaliers' bench again, he saw Mike Brown froze on the spot.

His face seemed to still be frozen with that smirk towards Su Jiu just now.

At this time, what Su Jiu said to himself repeated in Mike Brown's mind:

"I can do of things (I can make anything)"

　Thank you Brother Bansheng Shangge for your support, thank you brother, thank you! !
