The convulsion superstar of basketball

Chapter 229 228. Missing Lewis

After Su Jiu imitated JR Smith's shot, JR Smith also played extremely violently on the next offensive end.

Several times after halftime, he asked Anthony Carter for the ball, saying that he wanted to play individual singles.

Facing JR Smith's shameless singles behavior, Anthony Carter dared not speak out.

Although his position on the court is point guard, he is simply a younger brother compared to JR Smith.

The reason why JR Smith strengthened his personal offense during this period is because he felt that Su Jiu's goal in the previous round was a provocation to him.

He clearly used this method to score a goal in the last round of attack, but Su Jiu ended the attack in the same way in the next round.

This made JR Smith feel that Su Jiu had been provoking him.

Especially before the start of the game, Su Jiu kept staring at him, making his scalp tingle. This also made JR Smith think that Su Jiu had some brain problems.

Of course, Su Jiu is completely ignorant of these weird ideas in JR Smith's mind.

Because if Su Jiu knew these thoughts of JR Smith, he would definitely cry out for being wronged.

"I really didn't imitate your offense, because I'm also JR Smith..."

In the following period of time, the head coach of the Nuggets, George Karl, also took advantage of the dead ball stage to gradually regain his main lineup.

After all, their off-court rest time is sufficient, and in terms of physical strength, they definitely have more advantages than the Magic.

With the main lineup of the Nuggets back on the court again, Billups obviously has more defenses against Su Jiu's shots from beyond the three-point line.

This also made it difficult for Su Jiu to have a perfect shooting space when he wanted to make some shots.

This situation also forced Su Jiu to feed Howard more.

Because compared to him facing Billups, Howard encountered a lot of trouble when facing Nene.

But Howard's touch in this game is also very hot, and his turnaround like throwing a discus has hit a few consecutive shots.

So Su Jiu didn't mind making more passes for Howard.

Although the task of the system is very important, so far, his scoring on the court is still ahead of JR Smith.

In this case, Su Jiu didn't dare to play too alone, otherwise, not only Stan Van Gundy might replace himself in advance in a rage.

And offending other players in the team because of a task, that is really not worth the candle.

Even in this situation where personal offense was restricted, after halftime, the Nuggets also:

53:48

Overtook the Magic by five points and ended the first half of the contest.

"Su, how do you feel about your physical condition at the moment? This game is full of difficulties for us. It is a continuous away game, and the current lineup of the Nuggets is even more organized than ours."

"So if you feel uncomfortable in your body, you must tell me as soon as possible, don't force yourself on the court, understand."

"After all, relative to the victory of this game, the health of the current team still has to be ranked first. Even if we lose this game, it will not have a big impact on us."

During the halftime period, after repeatedly instructing the players on some matters, Stan Van Gundy also found Su Jiu in the corner and said softly to him.

Because in the second half of the second quarter, Stan Van Gundy obviously found that Su Jiu's offensive efficiency had seriously declined.

This also made Van Gundy a little worried. After all, after the last game against the Cavaliers, team doctor Cam Lee repeatedly told Van Gundy not to overdraw Su Jiu's playing time.

Otherwise, Su Jiu is likely to face a worse situation.

In addition, Su Jiu also has some potential injuries, so Van Gundy has to be careful.

As Stan Van Gundy said, the team has been playing consecutive away games during this period. For the players, both physically and mentally, it will cause more fatigue.

And if the victory of this game is compared with the health of the players, it can definitely be said to be insignificant, because the current Magic team really can't afford to be injured.

After returning from the second half, Su Jiu did not encounter too much defensive pressure on the defensive end, because Billups is not the kind of offensive star who likes individual singles.

This also allowed Su Jiu to put more energy on the offensive end.

However, in the second half, Su Jiu's offensive efficiency has obviously dropped a lot. Although he tried to find an offensive state for himself through shooting several times, what he finally ushered in was the sound of iron strikes again and again.

Su Jiu's inability to open up the offensive end directly put the Magic in an awkward situation. After all, the only people the Magic can count on are Su Jiu and Howard.

So when one of these two people is not in good shape, then the Magic's offense will have a big problem.

When facing some underdogs in the league, the Magic will not have too many worries. After all, the abilities of other players can also form a crush.

But in this strong dialogue with the Nuggets, the performance of Su Jiu and Howard is absolutely crucial.

So as Su Jiu's offensive efficiency began to decline, the Magic team gradually fell into a trough.

Even though Stan Van Gundy made repeated adjustments to the lineup and style of play on the court, under the overwhelming strength, the Magic still lost at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the end, after the end of the three quarters, the Magic has already:

67:81

Behind the Nuggets by as much as 14 points.

Looking at the current situation on the field, Stan Van Gundy also felt quite helpless.

Although he was prepared to lose before the game, after the first quarter, the team ended the first quarter ahead of the Nuggets.

This kind of result also made Van Gundy instantly full of confidence, but in the second and third quarters, Van Gundy's confidence and thoughts seemed to be beaten back to their original form in an instant.

This huge disparity also made Van Gundy feel a little sad, quite a feeling of being bullied by dogs, although this Nuggets team can be called a Tibetan mastiff.

Even in this long road trip, Van Gundy missed Lewis' injury for the first time.

It was also the first time I remembered that the team had such a number one figure as Lewis...
