Center first

Chapter 358
As long as it is a normal fan, it can be seen that the Orlando Magic have lost their own rhythm. They are passively following the pace of the Miami Heat whether they are attacking or defending. There is not enough personnel on the court. Communication, everyone seems to be fighting alone.

Peripheral shooters can only rely on their own running to win shots. They lose the basic guarantee of pick-and-roll and screens between each other. In the situation of breaking through with the ball, the space inside is even more narrow and breathless.

In such a chaotic situation, Van Gundy's timeout seems to have lost its magic power. The only help he can bring to the Magic is the 100 seconds of breathing time. The boos in the Amway Arena began to gradually increase. , More and more people have begun to express their dissatisfaction in this way.

Does this still look like a team that just overturned the defending champions?Where did the courage to fight to the death with an opponent in a desperate situation go?The three giants of the Celtics have been knocked down by them, but now they have to face a group of remnants and start to tremble. Damn, what happened to all this, why is it so chaotic, the three-point rain of the Magic team Where did it go, where did Warcraft's slam dunk go?Where has the magician-like conductor of Big Van Gundy gone!It's all starting to go awry!

What kind of shit match point is this? Now the rhythm and lifeline of the entire game have been grasped by those Miami people. Now the game has become the match point for the opponent to end the Magic!Cheer up!Cheer up!The roar of countless voices reminded the players of the Magic team that this is a game they cannot lose, they need to rise up and fight back!But what effect can these growls have?Maybe no one knows, at least for now they can't see the actions of those guys.

The anger of the Magic fans can't inject any courage into these big men of the Magic. Their dissatisfaction has filled every corner of the arena, including those VIPs watching the game in the box. Standing up, they also felt ashamed and embarrassed for such a game, but their roar made those guys who were already a little bit broken lower their heads, and the morale that even Van Gundy's roar could not restore was still there. what to expect?
In addition to roaring, maybe Big Van Gundy can't think of a better way to save such a group of guys. Maybe he doesn't even know why he put Gortat on the court. Temporarily salvage some disadvantages?Maybe he didn't think it through himself, the only thing he can do now is to vent his depression by roaring.

But what are the consequences of doing so?Take a look at those drooping heads. When he was roaring, those guys couldn't even make at least one reaction. Did the storm in the first quarter make these guys lose the will to continue to resist?Maybe, the opponent's massacre came too fast and too fierce, and the crazy attack made people feel like they couldn't resist.

A head coach whose nerves have begun to enter a state of confusion, leading a group of distraught players, can you expect such a team to play a cruel playoffs?The answer can be very positive, absolutely impossible, no team will give the opponent a chance to turn over easily, not to mention the Miami Heat are now playing crazy, their unique tricks not only completely restrain the opponent's inside advantage, but also More is to defeat the opponent's confidence, their changes have made Orlando lose their persistent belief in the game.

Double center, a tactical combination that has been forgotten for a long time, but Pat Riley put it out without any scruples, and it is the kind of desperate style of play that does not leave any retreat. If Lin Yi If any one of them ends up with Magloire, they don't even have a basic center backup, but this kind of gamble has plunged the entire Magic into an inescapable quagmire.

Pat Riley's method is that he won't argue with you for any reason at all. The only thing he needs to do is to make Lin Yi run around frantically on the field, exhausted?Go see your big-headed ghost, this kind of running is much less costly than letting Lin Yi face-to-face with Howard at the basket, and this defensive method not only destroys the opponent's offensive intentions, but also makes the opponent a lot more scruples.

Now there is still a guy who doesn't know how to live or die who dares to attack Lin Yi's defensive area with his life. After seeing how many times Nelson has been slapped, you can know how expensive it is to break through this place. Oh, don't tell me that Nelson's breakthrough didn't work out.

He succeeded in an attack at the beginning of the second quarter. After he bypassed Chalmers' defense, the short and fat guy's sideways penetration speed increased to the extreme. His footsteps were already so fast that Lin Yi's He couldn't keep up with the supplementary defense, but after his low-handed layup was completed, what greeted him was also a very tragic result.

It wasn't the sound of a clear block. After all, Lin Yi is not a god. No matter how long his arms are, he can't cover every position of the basket. It's just that the unlucky guy Nelson chose to break through, and he chose two big men on his side. Where they are all concentrated, he may think this is a very good way to cover.

But Nelson also forgot one thing, the more people who can provide him with cover, the less space he can dodge, especially when Lin Yi's block came from behind him, the big slap slapped him hard. When he came over, although he didn't let the basketball fly out of the baseline, Lin Yi's body that rushed from behind actually stuck to Nelson's body.

The ball went in, and the standard low-handed layup went straight to the basket without sloppiness, but Nelson couldn't laugh at all, because his body was directly squeezed between three guys over two meters, Gortat, Howard , Lin Yi, the three big men squeezed Nelson directly in the middle like an air compressor.

Suffocation, the only thing Nelson feels now is a strong sense of suffocation, even the voice of the commentator on the scene has a sense of pain, MY GOD, God, he is really worried that Nelson will be directly suffocated by these three big men Squeeze into an idiot, or just squeeze into a compressed biscuit.

How serious will such an impact be?Look at Nelson's pale face when he came out of the encirclement of these guys. He immediately asked to get off the court and sat there for nearly 3 minutes before he recovered from the suffocation. He breathed in the fresh air greedily until his face recovered from his paleness.

"Damn, it feels like I have lost the function of breathing, and every rib is protesting their pain to the body. At that moment, I almost feel like I am going to see God. If it wasn't for Gortat to ask If I fall down, I think I'm in the ambulance now." When Nelson was interviewed after the game, he still recalled such a hellish experience with horror.

With such a lesson learned from the past, who would dare to directly attack Lin Yi's defensive area, unless he also wants to take a trip to hell, and the Magic team lacks breakthrough masters, and their swingmen are used to floating on the outside. Precise strikes, for breakthroughs, only a short and fat man like Nelson is good at it. He has already been made like this by his opponent, who else would take the risk?I'm afraid there is no one left.

The change of the lineup may be just one aspect, more because of the guy Lin Yi's non-stop waving hands, like a big net that people can never get rid of. The people inside the team, not only Nelson, but even the pitchers who are looking for opportunities on the outside, must always be careful that the owner of the big slap suddenly rushes in front of him and rewards him with a crisp sound.

This kind of psychological pressure has caused these shooters who are usually used to letting the basketball directly into the basket to panic. Their shooting points are getting higher and higher, but they never dare to choose to shoot easily, because the ghost-like Guy, that's how it's been hovering near the three-point line, that damn big man, he's like a wolf that doesn't know how to get tired, chasing these prey all the time.

Can you take it?A very good opportunity to make a mobile phone call from an open position. When you are ready for everything, the basketball that just pushed into your palm will be slapped out of the baseline by an arrogant guy very unreasonably, or directly launch a quick counterattack. The experience of this is something no normal person wants to experience, but now Lewis and Turkoglu must always be on guard against these situations happening to them.

This is what Turkoglu and Lewis call Lin Yi, because that guy always appears without warning, and every time he pounces, he always appears at the most critical moment. 5 blocks, this is the one The guy's gift to the Magic, a gift that people don't want to accept but can't refuse.

The most destructive power that the suddenly expanded defensive range can bring is the interference with outside shooters. More than 40.00% of the Magic's offense is completed by Turkoglu and Lewis, but now they may only provide The passing ability of the high post, apart from the rogue-style entanglement of Bunche Wells and Stackhouse, what they fear most is the ubiquitous big slap.

The outside pitchers are no longer able to provide the Magic with maximum fire support, but what is even more embarrassing than them is the inside offensive power that the Magic are most proud of. Even though Gortat has been ordered to play to support Howard, but The confrontation at the basket did not become beneficial to the Magic because of the addition of this big guy. On the contrary, the increasingly narrow space under the basket further restricted Howard's offensive movement.

Howard, who originally lacked delicate skills in the basket, now finds how powerless he is. When the space under the basket is reduced to a real square inch, he needs to pay attention to his own body every time he moves. Will the footsteps fall into the opponent's siege because of the clumsy footsteps?

Blocking, the current scramble for the basket can definitely be said to be a concentrated expression of blocking skills. Lin Yi's defensive blocking can almost make Howard useless every time he makes a left and right collision, and Gortat can bypass Lin Yi. Yi's chances are even less, not to mention moving, he has suffered several consecutive dark losses in the contest of explosive power alone, Lin Yi's elbow always creates some troubles for him at certain moments.

It is a kind of hidden trouble that makes people powerless to resist and unbearable. It is a kind of reasonable contact that is more helpless than small movements. Except for the faint pain in the body, no one may experience this kind of collision zone. How much harm is coming, despicable? NO, this is just a reasonable use of the rules.

Lin Yi is not stingy with the things he has learned from Rodman and the others. He may avoid direct collisions with Howard cleverly, but he will definitely show his insidiousness when assisting in defense, as long as he can He has always been unscrupulous in this way to gain benefits for himself, and he is not the one who is unlucky anyway, so he doesn't care what others think.

If Van Gundy is familiar with Chinese culture, then he will now describe his decision in one sentence very accurately. It is absolutely a self-inflicted performance. Now he is almost creating another offensive for Howard. Trouble, not help, that's right, they now have one more person under the basket, but the one who takes advantage is still Lin Yi.

The one-on-one confrontation with Lin Yi was about to make Howard collapse, not to mention the addition of Magloire, who is not too weak. If this guy's nerves were not so fragile, he might have already Becoming a member of the All-Star, the guy who averaged double-doubles per game at the peak time was not a soft persimmon who could be bullied at will.

1+1 may not have a terrifying effect, but Lin Yi's adaptability and sense of cooperation made up for the unfamiliarity between the two partners. They only spent a few training sessions and they were able to run in like a pair. They are a pair of old partners. Although there is still a slight lack of tacit understanding in terms of cooperation, compared with Howard and Gortat of the Magic, their advantage is not a star, but a complete containment of their opponents.

Miami's two big men combined for 30 points in just one half, and Magloire may have scored more than 10 points in a half for the first time this season, and he can still contribute With 3 assists and 5 rebounds, this kind of performance is like a first-class center. Of course, compared with Lin Yi, his statistics are still slightly inferior, and his blocks alone are much worse.

But now no one would say that the insiders of the two teams are at the same level. At least in terms of statistics, the two big men of the Miami Heat are far better than their opponents. No one thinks that the Magic can regain their own opportunities in the interior competition.

Just as Pat Riley imagined, what he needs is to release all of Lin Yi's energy, and let this kid show all his talents in front of the world without reservation. This is almost their decisive battle In the arena, the Miami Heat absolutely have no mood to think about the future. The only thing they want to do is to figure out how to knock down the Magic team led by Howard.

62:35, if you want to ask what the Magic did in the second quarter, it can only be said that these guys feel much better than the first quarter. They scored 24 points in one quarter, but two The gap between the two teams is still desperate. If the Miami people feel hotter today, they can enter the lounge with twice the points ahead of their opponents.

27 points, maybe in the history of the NBA there has been such a large score gap, and there is also such a record of comeback, but the premise of everything is that the trailing side has never given up the idea of ​​​​chasing points, and they must always maintain that desperate attitude. Fighting spirit, but look at those Orlando people who walked into the locker room with their heads down. Who else can see the hope of their comeback from these people?Would you put such unrealistic ideas on a group of people who have lost their fighting spirit?I'm afraid even Van Gundy himself would not be so naive.

The 15-minute break at halftime may have awakened some courage from the Orlando Magic team. Their fierce counterattack at the beginning of the second half once made the fans in the Amway Arena go crazy again. Turkoglu and Lewis' three-pointers finally rained Get up, but it seems that it's too late for all this to happen.

Five of seven three-pointers, perhaps such a shooting percentage in normal games, would be a very proud offensive efficiency, but the Magic did not allow the difference between the two teams to return to 60.00 points Within, the Miami Heat team led by Lin Yi also responded to the opponent's crazy attack with a scoring efficiency of [-]%.

Maybe this kind of madness will make the fans excited. They can even imagine that their team can rely on the madness of the three-pointer to come back to the game, but the confrontation between the two teams has never stopped. One side is crazy, and the other side is equally crazy.

The Magic passively chose to rely on three-pointers to save their lives. It was like a drowning person struggling for the last time. Their outstretched hands grabbed something they could rely on. Only then did he realize that it was just a leaf.

20 points, this is the final point difference between the two teams. When the last 4 minutes of the game, the fans in the Amway Arena have begun to leave the field one after another. They are desperate. This night is for them , is definitely a sad night full of despair.

match point. . .Yes, this game is indeed a match point, but now this match point has been in the hands of the Miami people. . .
