Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 164 If you have the ability, shoot the game to death with a shot!

"Jason Williams, dribbles, one step from the [-], shoots.

Super long three-point shot.

This attack was too messy.

Jason sometimes has this style, and no one can guess what his offensive style is like? "

Swish-!
White Chocolate's signature three-pointer hit.

Next, the Kings opened fire from outside and caught the Magic by surprise.

The Magic shrunk their defense and were bombarded to no avail.

Weber suited Jackson's defensive rhythm and directly used his height to pull out the shot.

Jackson's defensive interference has no effect.

Webber hit two long points frequently.

Duncan didn't save, and Webber and Stojakovic played outside screens.

Two scorers with an average performance of 20+ per game work together to play an offensive state. The offensive destructive power is undoubtedly terrifying.

In particular, they are not casual singles, but supported by the Princeton system, and the touch is coming again, which is unstoppable.

Webber's mid-range shot and Payton's three-pointer directly destroyed the Magic's outside shots.

After the first quarter, the score was 32 to 29. The Magic were at a 3-point disadvantage and fell behind.

To be reasonable, the Kings' offense is full firepower, but the defense is too poor.

The Magic are not far behind in terms of score.

In the second quarter, Li Mu let McGrady and Duncan continue to play.

Bring on Armstrong, Maimiller and Magloire.

For the Kings, Webber and Stojakovic continued to play.

Bring in Bobby Jackson, Joan Barry and Scott Pollard.

The game is on.

Bobby Jackson raised his hand and scored a three-pointer with Weber's screen.

Increase the ratio of points difference to 6 points.

Bobby Jackson has just joined this season. In fact, he has not adapted to Princeton's tactics. However, his powerful scoring ability has undoubtedly been revealed.

Played 25 minutes, averaged 11 points and 2 assists per game, and gradually became a reliable sixth man for the Kings.

At this time, the weakness of the Magic team was exposed. The offense was all single-handedly played by stars, and the fight was based on physical talent.

There is nothing wrong with playing this way, the opponent is a weak team, and it is indeed very easy to use.

However, Princeton's tactical quality of the Kings is obviously better than that of the Magic.

No way, the Kings have played the same tactics for three years, with the same core players.

The Magic are just a newly formed team, and their tactics are not as good as others, which is very normal.

As a result, he was taught to be a man by the Kings.

Armstrong rushed with the ball, and seemed to want to use his offensive ability to prove that he was very strong.

A point guard, how can he use scoring to prove himself?
It's ridiculous.

After all, the Magic account for two of the league's top fifteen scorers.

If it weren't for Hill, playing health-preserving basketball, changing his style of play, and even occupying three of them.

Armstrong doesn't play support well, but uses offensive ability to prove his automaticity?
Are you polite?
Anyway, Li Mu only saw McGrady and Duncan running back and forth, and Armstrong rushing.

Plus, Mike Miller is a shooter and needs assists from his teammates.

As a result, the Magic rotated their lineup. It seemed that the cards were very good, but the game was played very badly and there was no efficiency at all.

At this time, the "rotation lineup" of the Kings has gained the reputation of being a gangster on the bench.

In addition to Bobby Jackson, Jon Barry also used shooting to punish the Magic.

Coupled with the basic scoring of Webber and Stojakovic, the Kings' offensive firepower continued in the second quarter.

After playing 6 minutes in the second quarter, the Magic were beaten 17 to 10, 10 points behind the Kings.

Li Mu called a timeout and let McGrady and Duncan rest.

Put on Hill, O'Neal and Jackson.

The scene remained unchanged.

Subsequently, Li Mu continued to make substitutions, replacing Armstrong with Mark Jackson.

Offensively, there has been a lot of improvement.

Mark Jackson's organizational passing can help his teammates play offensively.

However, defensively, they still can't stop the Kings who are already playing.

After the second quarter, with a score of 65 to 52, the Magic entered the locker room to rest with a 13-point deficit.

"Forget about the first half of the game!

The Kings outside explosion was just an accident.

They won't have this shooting touch in the second half, and by then, the game will enter the rhythm of the Magic.

In the second half, I will not make changes.

If they have the ability, the Kings will shoot the game to death. "Li Mu did not compromise tactically.

There is no effective way to deal with an offensive team like the Kings.

We can only make a fuss about whether the offense can last.

Maintaining the status quo.

Came back in the second half of the game.

Li Mu let the starting 5 players play.

Still Jackson, McGrady, Hill, Duncan and O'Neal.

The 5 Tigers of the Kings also played in all of them.

The third quarter started.

Jackson tries a three-point shot.

Jason Williams' defense is completely fake.

Bang-dang-!
It's hard.

Jackson's skills are all-round and good, and he also has a three-point shooting range. However, he is relatively poor and has no personal tricks yet.

Sometimes he shoots three-pointers in waves and becomes the team's undercover agent.

Fortunately, the rebound was taken back by the Magic.

At this time, the lineup is full of rebounders.

Not to mention the insiders, Hill, McGrady, and Jackson averaged more than 5 times per game at their peak.

Now in the same team, the statistics can't show it, but the ability is there.

"O'Neal gets the rebound, Hill and Tracy McGrady, cut in at the same time.

In the end, McGrady ended the attack.

After receiving a pass from Jermaine O'Neal, he made a one-handed dunk and scored a second offense. "

Bang-dang-!
11 minutes! !!

At this time, the Magic were only 11 points behind.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Kings attack.

Weber's high-level support found that the Magic's defensive tactics remained unchanged.

Immediately set a screen with Jason Williams, forming a partial 2 on 1.

Jason Williams rushed the ball to the inside, hit the big with the small, and shot with a small throw...

Swish-!
Two point hit.

The difference between the two sides is still 13 points.

Next, the situation of the game returned to the first quarter.

The two sides fought back and forth.

The Magic shrunk defensively, used the personal ability of the stars to score, took advantage of rebounds, and competed with the Kings on offense.

The Kings couldn't make an air cut, so they made a fuss from the outside line, used screens to cooperate, and created space to shoot.

Although the offensive efficiency of the Kings has dropped, after the first three quarters, they still maintain a 10-point lead.

The fourth quarter started.

The Magic took advantage of rebounds and played a three-pointer tactic.

McGrady is one of the best scorers in the league this season, and Hill, as the top 5 scorer last season, took on the important task of this three-point shooting.

Outside, Jackson and McGrady, hit a screen, pass the ball to McGrady, pull up three shots in front of Jason Williams...

Bang-dang-!
Four pulls and three irons are talking about McGrady.

At 35 seconds and 13 minutes, McGrady seemed to have a lot of three-pointers. However, McGrady's three-pointers usually hit the iron.

Long two points is his most stable offensive weapon.

Maddie couldn't be trusted.

Li Mu can only hope that Hill can shine.

However, Hill is playing poorly at this time, he is not an off-ball shooter.

The first time I touched the ball, what I thought about in my mind was not shooting, but a breakthrough.

Without a breakthrough gesture, Hill became unable to play.

Breaking through will hurt, and without the ball will make you iron.

The only reliable one is Duncan.

He made a strong kill with the ball and scored 2+1 on Weber.

He rebounded strongly, and in front of Weber, he dunked and scored a second offense.

He blasted Webber, completed the assist, and allowed his teammates to score easily at the basket.

It's a pity that Weber was blown up defensively, but he returned the favor offensively.

Webber used strong offensive firepower to block Duncan's counterattack led by the Magic.

hum~
The buzzer sounds, and the full game time is over.

With a score of 121 to 116, the Magic lost by 5 points, and the Kings ended their 7-game winning streak.

Duncan scored 29 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks, and continued to perform steadily.

Just looking at the data, McGrady performed very well with 25 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds. However, his stealth in the fourth quarter and his performance of 10 of 2 three-pointers were all the reasons for the loss.

Of course, McGrady will not be scolded.

Because Hill took on everything, 11 points, 3 assists, 2 rebounds, and 7 of 1 three-pointers. This is not the performance that the top ten superstars should have.

In addition, the Kings exploded outside, Webber scored 28 points, Stojakovic 25, the Magic did not lose unjustly.
