The convulsion superstar of basketball

Chapter 350 349. Jedi Counterattack 5V8! !

After returning from the second half, the Cavaliers still followed the tactical concept of the first half, that is, try to compete with the Magic from the offensive end.

And throughout the first half, it is not difficult to see that LeBron James' personal touch today is quite hot.

At least in some mid-range and long-range shots, they are far above the average level of the season.

Most importantly, when LeBron James is on the court, Van Gundy can only keep Marion on the court.

And when Marion has been defending James on the court, Vince Carter and Lewis must only have one person on the court, which will undoubtedly greatly reduce the Magic's offense.

After all, Marion's biggest role in the Magic is the counterattack in the fast break and the defense on the defensive end.

In terms of offensive three-point firepower alone, he is far inferior to Pietrus, who was traded away during the offseason.

Throughout the second half, in LeBron James' personal fiery state, the Cavaliers still played relatively smoothly offensively.

Coupled with the fact that the three referees still tend to favor the Cavaliers at home from time to time, this obviously makes it difficult for the Magic's offense to hit a real climax.

But the good news is that the advantage of the Magic team is that they can participate in the offense is very sufficient.

Throughout the second half, apart from Su Jiu and Howard who both began to exert their strength on the offensive end, Iverson, Carter and Lewis also contributed their own strength.

Among them, after the start of this season, Iverson's personal status can be said to have declined visible to the naked eye.

At least compared to last season's offensive aggressiveness in the playoffs, this season's Iverson seems a little Buddhist.

Su Jiu knew that this was not only because Iverson was one year older, but also had a lot to do with Iverson's lack of training during the offseason.

After all, Iverson has already successfully won the championship trophy in the twilight of his career, plus many honors in his personal career.

This is enough to make Iverson's selection into the Hall of Fame after retirement a certainty.

You know, Iverson's personal character is inherently unrestrained, and it is undoubtedly more uncomfortable than killing him if you want him to conduct team training on time.

Therefore, Iverson's personal status declined in the new season, and Van Gundy was already mentally prepared as early as the offseason.

In this case, the reason why the team will give Iverson a contract this summer.

It is because the team desperately needs to have a player like Iverson.

Apart from other things, even if Iverson is paddling in the regular season, once the game enters the playoffs, then Iverson's existence will undoubtedly become a "fixing sea god".

With the passage of time, even the referee of this game has clearly favored the Cavaliers who are fighting at home.

But the Magic insisted on relying on a more dominant lineup depth, and after the end of the three quarters, it was still as follows:

84:79

Leading the Cavaliers by 5 points, it ended the contest between the two sides in the first three quarters.

"Aaron, Rashad, after going back in the fourth quarter, LeBron and Shaq will definitely rest during this time period."

"If I'm not wrong, then the Cavaliers can only be led by Mo alone during this period of time."

"So this period of time will undoubtedly be an opportunity for us. Similarly, this is also the weakest stage for the Cavaliers in the entire game."

"I will leave this time period to you. I hope you can take advantage of this opportunity."

"After all, once the game is dragged to the final stage, we will definitely become very passive with the face shown by the referee in this game."

In the short time after the end of the third quarter, Stan Van Gundy said to Iverson and Lewis in a slightly serious manner.

Because among the playing time of many main players, the playing time of Iverson and Lewis in this game is low.

So in the first half of the fourth quarter, Van Gundy will send these two people with three substitutes to lead the team.

During this period of time, the Cavaliers' lineup can be said to be the weakest period in the game.

As the saying goes, hitting a snake and hitting seven inches, taking advantage of his illness and killing him, for this kind of opportunity that is already in front of him, Van Gundy, as the team's head coach, certainly will not miss it.

After returning from the fourth quarter, the lineup sent by the Cavaliers was not what Van Gundy expected.

At this moment, both James and O'Neal are sitting off the court to rest in order to replenish more physical strength and turn the tide at the critical moment of the fourth quarter.

This also led to the fact that the Cavaliers only have Mo Williams as an offensive strength in their lineup at this time, so for the Magic with a very deep foundation, this will undoubtedly become an opportunity.

As the two sides played against each other in the first half of the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers also knew that their current lineup could not be compared with the Magic.

So in the positional battle, the Cavaliers took the initiative to reduce the offensive rhythm. It seems that they want to delay the time as much as possible, so as not to be hit by the Magic during this period.

However, although Mike Brown had a wishful thinking in his heart, he obviously underestimated the offensive firepower of the Magic.

You know, in terms of the Magic's lineup during this period, in addition to Iverson and Lewis, they also have Gortat, Brandon Bass and White Chocolate.

Especially when White Chocolate Williams is on the court, it will undoubtedly become very difficult for the Cavaliers to control the rhythm of the court.

In the end, in just over three minutes, the Magic gradually gained the upper hand, and there was a tendency to further expand the score.

Seeing this situation, Mike Brown was obviously a little anxious off the court, and the whole person was also unable to calm down.

Because this scene is too familiar to him, in the previous few encounters between the two sides, the Cavaliers seemed to be facing a collapse in the first half of the fourth quarter.

Even if the main lineup returns in the end, it still cannot make up for the gap in lineup depth between the two sides.

But the anxiety is the anxiety. When Mike Brown saw the situation on the court, he still requested a 30-second timeout immediately.

Otherwise, Mike Brown is really afraid that the Magic will play a wave of climax during this period. If this is the case, then the Cavaliers will become extremely difficult in the next game.

"Sue, Dwight, get ready to play next. I guess Mike will bring LeBron and Shaq back to the court after this timeout."

"Don't hesitate too much, just execute according to our usual style of play, regardless of all external factors, you just need to concentrate all your beliefs in this game."

In this short 30 seconds, Van Gundy quickly gave instructions to Su Jiu and Howard who were off the court.

Of course, as the hero who won the championship with the team last season, the Magic's style of play this season has not actually changed too much.

But during the timeout, Van Gundy still habitually repeated his exhortations, as if he was afraid that if he didn't say a few words, he would be regarded as air by people.

After returning from the timeout, the Cavaliers really brought James and O'Neal back to the court.

The Magic also made some adjustments to the lineup.

As the game continued on the court, LeBron James' touch was still very hot, but Su Jiu on the Magic team was also not to be outdone, and completed double cooperation with Howard on the inside and outside line many times.

With the gradual passage of time on the court, the Magic have always held the Cavaliers at the top, firmly controlling the rhythm of the game.

However, in the next two offensive rounds, the referee forced the limelight.

First, Howard called an illegal screen in the high post, and then called an offensive foul by Marion.

And these two whistles undoubtedly greatly disrupted the Magic's own game rhythm.

Faced with this situation, the head coach of the team, Stan Van Gundy, was furious and yelled loudly at the referee from the sidelines.

The suppressed anger in his heart could no longer be hidden, and at this moment he blurted out one by one to the referee.

As Van Gundy's personal state gradually began to get out of control, the assistant coach Mundy who was on the side immediately grabbed his old buddy.

It's not worth it to drag him towards the bench continuously, for fear of accidentally pissing off the referee on the field and being called a technical foul.

But even so, after facing the cordial greetings from Van Gundy, the referee on the field still made a gesture immediately and whistled a technical foul for Van Gundy! !

Seeing the penalty made by the home referee, at this moment, the home court of Cleveland erupted in uniform cheers in an instant.

Because for the Magic team to be deflated on the court, this will undoubtedly make Cavaliers fans feel very excited.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the eyes of Cavaliers fans at this time, the Magic has become their sworn enemy.

It is because of the Magic that the Cavaliers have been ridiculed by the media, ridiculed by netizens, and this unforgettable shame last season.

At the same time, as the referee on the field whistled a technical foul on Van Gundy, the Magic fans who were watching the game on the Internet at the moment exploded in an instant.

Everyone shouted shady things on the public screen crazily, because even the fans could see that the referee's whistleblowing of the Magic in the last two rounds was a bit too obvious.

This situation obviously made the fans of the Magic feel very angry, and someone even called the union union, saying that they would sue the executive referee of this game.

Because he seriously suspected that the referee of this game was involved in gambling, otherwise, how could he be so frantic about whistleblowing this game.

Although the views of outside fans on these two penalties are quite different, the game must continue after all.

However, since the referee played the role of a shit stick during this period, the Cavaliers have taken the opportunity to reduce the score to four points at this moment.

All of a sudden, the suspense of the game was brought back.

Faced with this situation, even though Stan Van Gundy felt very angry at the moment, he still called a timeout immediately.

After all, this is the home court of the Cavaliers at this moment, and now as the Cavaliers quietly rise, the fans at home cheered loudly.

This situation will undoubtedly cause a lot of psychological pressure on the Magic players.

"Fuck, these shameless guys, there are only three minutes left before the end of the game."

"And we still hold some leading advantages, so everyone must stabilize this situation in the future."

"I believe that after what happened just now, the referee would never dare to blatantly favor at the last moment."

"So the next thing everyone has to do is to stabilize the situation on the field and not be caused too much psychological interference by the fans at the scene."

"Su, you have grown into a very good player, so I believe you should know what to do on the field in the future."

"You don't have too much hesitation when you have the opportunity to come out on the field. Even if we lose this game in the end, we are still the favorites to win the championship!!"

Listening to Stan Van Gundy's very angry voice, even the good-tempered Su Jiu felt angry at this moment.

Because Su Jiu was a party in this game, he knew exactly how much the referee's whistles had had a huge impact on the game.

So during the timeout, Su Jiu also clenched his fists tightly, as if trying to restrain his emotions.

I'm afraid that if I can't help but quarrel with the referee, if this is the case, it will be the real disaster for the Magic.

After returning from the timeout, Su Jiu's eyes became very resolute, without the previous casualness and relaxation at all.

Facing Mo Williams' defense, Su Jiu still played a pick-and-roll with Howard in the high position.

After the pick-and-roll, this time Su Jiu didn't go straight to the basket, but directly took a step back, creating more distance from Mo Williams.

Then he made a very decisive shot from beyond the three-point line.

"Shu~"

As the sound of the basketball hitting the net sounded, in the first attack after returning from the timeout, Su Jiu forcibly hit a step-back three-pointer from the outside.

After hitting the three-pointer, Su Jiu swung his arm with great excitement, and then roared loudly at the audience, as if to vent his emotions at the moment.

At the same time, Howard, who was retreating, also immediately pushed Su Jiu's chest forcefully.

Obviously, this goal is not only very important for the Magic, but also very morale-boosting.

On the next defensive end, the players of the Magic team seemed to be playing their lives, sticking to the Cavaliers closely.

Marion also put out all his energy, and it can be said that he would not give an inch to LeBron James.

Facing the Magic's defense like an iron wall, the Cavaliers were obviously very uncomfortable in these two offensive rounds.

On the other hand, in the offensive rounds, Su Jiu's shots became more and more resolute, and his fights became more and more brutal.

After hitting a step-back three-pointer, Su Jiu hit mid-range fadeaway jumpers twice in a row in the next few offensive rounds.

Helped the Magic to further expand the score and stabilized the situation on the field that was gradually facing collapse.

Seeing this situation on the court, even Stan Van Gundy off the court opened his mouth and roared excitedly, and from time to time cast his gaze on the referee on the sidelines.

This look seemed to be demonstrating and provoking the referee at home.

In the end, after the end of the game, the Magic team, which experienced many ups and downs in the fourth quarter, relied on Su Jiu's personal heroism at the last critical moment, abruptly:

109:102

7 points to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers!Won this very difficult victory away.

After the game ended, under the boos of the arena in Cleveland, the players of the Magic team celebrated wantonly.

The intensity of the celebration seemed to be for all the Cavaliers fans on the scene to watch.

It seems that the louder the boos at the scene, the stronger the excitement in the hearts of the Magic players at this time.

Because this game is not just as simple as a victory, it is also a Jedi counterattack by the Magic players against the referee.

In the whole game, as the hero of the Magic team winning at critical moments, Su Jiu played a total of 39 minutes. He personally made 22 of 13 shots on the offensive end, including 11 of 5 from beyond the three-point line and 6 of 5 free throws. He finally scored 36 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists. A quasi triple-double data.

And this game, besides being Su Jiu's best match in the new season, is also a growth in Su Jiu's personal career.

Because compared to last season's slightly green, this season's Su Jiu's ability to control the key ball has obviously been greatly improved

Not only did he play very resolutely on the key ball at the last moment, but he also reduced some court mistakes that often occurred last season.

It has to be said that Su Jiu's playing style on the court has become more and more mature, and his control on the court has become more and more stable.

In addition to Su Jiu, Howard contributed 19 points, 16 rebounds and 3 blocked shots in this game.

Among these three blocks, two of them were given to the "big shark" O'Neill who was facing him.

Seeing this scene, the commentator on the scene kept sighing that O'Neill is really old and can no longer compete with Howard in this era.

As the Sharks who were facing off against Howard, they contributed a total of 13 points, 9 rebounds and 1 block in this game.

Although the data is not very bad at first glance, but if this person is O'Neal, then this data is obviously far from the expectations of the fans.

I believe that if there are no accidents, then Cleveland's "blame man" this season has been born ahead of schedule, and that is "Shark" O'Neal, who is known as the strongest center in history...

其他人方面，艾弗森的本场比赛里贡献出了11分3篮板4助攻，刘易斯14分3篮板2抢断，卡特12分3篮板6助攻，马里昂8分9篮板2抢断1封盖，白巧克力4分2篮板4助攻，巴斯8分6篮板。

It can be said that when Su Jiu's personal state is relatively explosive, other people have also contributed their own share of strength.

And as a team that wants to hit the championship, this will definitely be very important.

For the Cavaliers, James' performance in this game can be described as a bit eye-catching. James played a total of 42 minutes in the game, and personally contributed 39 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists in a quasi-triple double.

But even so, the Cavaliers are still unable to beat the defending champion Magic at home, and this is still the case when the home referee interfered with the Magic many times.

Regarding this point, as the head coach, Mike Brown has already seen some clues, that is, where the Cavaliers really lose lies in the depth of the lineup.

If the Cavaliers want to cross the mountain of the Magic in the new season, then the team must carry out a certain sense of reinforcement in the middle of the season.

As for whether Mike Brown can persuade the team's management to continue to reinforce even though the salary cap has exceeded the standard, it depends on the determination of the Cavaliers this season.

But at the end of the day, at the end of the game, Su Jiu had already thought about how the Cleveland fans would evaluate the game after that.

"Trash teammates, what kind of teammates are there beside my emperor, Fuck, I can't move them!!"

"Big shark?? That's it?? Fatty dragging his feet, go eat shit!!"

"What is Xiao Mo playing?? Why hasn't the team traded him??"

"If only Kobe could come to Cleveland and team up with LeBron!!"

"Hey, I can't take it, I really can't take it..."
