The convulsion superstar of basketball

Chapter 283 282. Beware of Su Jiu's heavy pinch!

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

And because in the first quarter, Stan Van Gundy also replaced Iverson and Turkoglu off the court very early.

So after coming back in the second quarter, the Magic's second team will also be led by Iverson and Turkoglu.

But for the Celtics, this period of lineup rotation is definitely the most tormenting moment.

Although Rivers also used the method of staggering on and off the court to disrupt the matching time of the Big Four on the court.

This ensures that at any one time period, the Celtics have at least one giant-level player on the court to lead the team.

But even so, the Celtics are still at a disadvantage in the contest between the two sides' rotations.

Because compared to the Celtics' second team, the Magic's lineup depth is really too good.

And the most important point is that once the Celtics' starting five cannot be on the court at the same time, the team's system threat at both ends of the offense and defense will be greatly reduced.

So in this extremely intense round of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the rotation stage at the beginning of the second quarter and the fourth quarter is definitely the most hated stage in Doc Rivers' mind.

However, although this stage is very difficult for the Celtics, it is a very precious time for the Magic, whose overall strength is not inferior.

The Magic were able to defeat the Celtics in the first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals. The most important thing was that Lewis led the Magic to a very high level of offense during that period of rotation.

Therefore, the Magic, which was at a disadvantage in the main lineup competition, was able to take away the G1 victory at home.

Back on the court, the Magic team also set off an offensive frenzy under Iverson's personal leadership.

Although the Celtics' second lineup is the same as the starting lineup, it defends a shrinking tactic of a zone defense position.

However, although the Celtics still implement the same tactics on the field, there is a big gap in personal strength between the starters and the substitute players.

So in this case, Iverson was also able to find the Celtics' defensive loopholes, so he used his personal ability to continuously attack the Celtics' basket.

Leading the second team of the Magic, there is quite a posture of getting braver as you fight.

Mark Woodson: "At present, after returning from the second quarter, the Magic still have an advantage in the second team competition."

"In fact, this was very obvious in the first two games. Once most of the Celtics' main players are off the court, the strength of the Celtics on both ends of the offense and defense basically plummets."

"At least compared with the Magic, it is completely at a disadvantage. So for the Celtics, if they want to win the game, they must not lose too many points during this period."

Partner Tom Horvath: "That's right, in fact, the depth of the Magic's lineup this season is really good, especially in the middle of the season, after they got Allen through a trade."

"This also leads to the fact that they can have at least one player with good offensive firepower at any time on the court."

"So this situation can also greatly improve Stan's fault tolerance rate in lineup rotation."

"However, it is a pity that this is the stage of the playoffs after all, so often it is the personal performance of the stars in the game that can really determine the outcome."

"So whether the Magic can win the G3 game at the North Shore Garden Arena today depends on the game status of Su, Dwight, Rashad and Allen."

Seeing that the team has been suppressed on the court, although Doc Rivers has admitted the fact that the overall depth of the team is not as good as the Magic.

But whenever the team is at a disadvantage in the rotation stage, it still makes Rivers feel a little upset.

Because in Rivers' view, this Magic team this season is really a bit too evil.

As a champion coach, Doc Rivers has encountered various teams in the playoffs, and even won the championship trophy last season in the hands of the Lakers led by Kobe.

But at this moment, when Rivers faces this slightly green Orlando Magic team, he often breaks out in a state of cold sweat in his heart.

As for why this is, Rivers is not very clear, but he always feels that there is an evil in this Magic team...

As the second teams of the two sides fought on the court, Rivers also took a look at the time on the court, and then gradually brought the main lineup back to the court under similar circumstances.

Because it seems that only when the main lineup returns to the field, can Doc Rivers on the bench feel a little peace of mind.

And when Stan Van Gundy saw the Celtics lineup adjustment, he also made some changes to the lineup immediately.

Although in this round of the series, Su Jiu's average playing time is much higher than in the regular season, but for Van Gundy, this is really helpless.

Because when the Celtics defended the defensive tactics of shrinking zone defense on the defensive end, Su Jiu's kills outside the three-point line were particularly important.

In addition to Su Jiu's own very good defensive ability, so after the playoffs, Su Jiu seems to have directly become the backbone of the Magic's offense, even though this is only his first season of his career.

With the return of all the main players from both sides, the Celtics have obviously made a qualitative improvement on both offense and defense.

However, after the return of the main lineup this time, the situation on the court is not particularly friendly to the Magic.

Because with Su Jiu's great power outside the three-point line in the first quarter, the Celtics have begun to strictly guard Su Jiu outside the three-point line at this moment, resolutely not giving Su Jiu an easy shot.

It can be said that Doc Rivers, who didn't take Su Jiu's shooting outside the three-point line seriously at all, was cast in a shadow after the entire first quarter.

Facing the Celtics' close defense, Su Jiu was already mentally prepared after returning from the second quarter.

So the whole person on the court has changed from shooting with the ball to playing off the ball. Through the off-ball pick-and-roll given by his teammates, try to find the best shot opportunities.

However, while Su Jiu's personal touch was extremely hot, the other players on the Magic team played mediocrely.

In particular, Howard and Iverson, the two main players in the team, played very poorly.

So this led to the fact that even though Su Jiu's personal touch was very hot, the score on the field was always controlled by the Celtics.

After all, no matter how accurate Su Jiu's shots from outside the three-point line are, he can't guarantee that every shot will be scored.

So when the Celtics' defensive pressure came up, the situation of the entire Magic team fell into an unfavorable situation in an instant.

And besides that, Su Jiu had less and less room to shoot offensively in the second quarter.

Although it is far from reaching the scene of being double-teamed by the Celtics just after halftime, it is basically in a relatively bad state.

In this case, when Su Jiu distributed the ball to his teammate on the outside, the final feedback was continuous banging.

And the sound of the iron strike seemed to hit Su Jiu's heart directly, and Su Jiu's heart felt cold because of the beating.

In fact, the reason why the Magic are facing this dilemma today is really because it is difficult for Van Gundy to make a real trade-off between the offensive and defensive ends of the team.

Because when Van Gundy puts out all the offensive-oriented main lineup on the court, then on the defensive end, he must be prepared to be penetrated by the Celtics.

And when Stan Van Gundy was paired with a defensive-oriented main lineup by Su Jiu's side, although this seemed to have achieved both offense and defense.

But when Su Jiu was targeted by the Celtics in the second quarter, the current lineup on the field became a ticking time bomb for the Magic on the offensive end.

So after halftime, even though Su Jiu's touch on the perimeter was still scorching hot, the Celtics managed to rewrite the score at halftime:

47:45

Leading the Magic by two points, the contest between the two sides ended in the first half.

　Huh, I have a cold, runny nose, sore throat, and I took Gankang at night, and this guy became dizzy and sleepy after eating.

　　It's really uncomfortable to feel dizzy and dizzy after catching a cold, which made me feel bad all day.

　　There is another big chapter during the day, probably in the afternoon.
