Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 173 Defeating the Nets!

TD Waterhouse Center Arena.

The Nets attack the ball, Harris serves from the bottom line, Van Horn receives the ball from outside the three-point line, and raises his hand for a three-point jump shot...

Duncan finally chose to guard the restricted area.

Swish-!
Accurately hit the three-pointer.

Van Horn's offensive talent is so good that he is called "Big Bird II".

The future is old, only offense is left, and Cuban is willing to spend 1000 million annual salary for him to sign him to the Mavericks.

There's something about this man's offense.

The average scoring per game this season has declined somewhat, but he can still score 18 points and 8 rebounds.

Moreover, the advantage of the empty inside line is shooting.

7 to 7! !
The Magic attack.

Still playing inside, Duncan is a threat to catch the ball.

Seeing that Van Horn was a bit overwhelmed, Kendall Gill rushed to steal it.

This person averaged 2.5 steals per game and was elected as the steals king of the year.

Duncan didn't make a strong play, and the ball went outside.

Hill, catch, jump shot, shot...

There was no sloppiness in the whole shooting action.

The shooting form is pretty standard.

Swish-!
Have it.

Hill's three-pointer also hit.

7 to 10! !
Li Mu nodded.

The scene he wanted to see finally came.

Hill is becoming more and more comfortable with off-ball and three-point play.

The occasional return will surprise the fans' eyes.

Next, Marbury broke through, changed direction in the frontcourt, was followed by McGrady, and changed direction one after another.

He rushed into the paint sharply, made a small throw, and scored the basketball.

9 to 10! !
Soon, McGrady wanted to return, break through, take the first extremely fast step, and pass Marbury.

Without stopping, he went to the basket, jumped up, slammed, gliding and dunking, and scored two points.

9 to 12! !
The Nets' basket protection is not very strong after all.

The inconsistency is the height, or the meaning of protecting the basket, all of which are flaws.

In the transition between offense and defense, Marbury took aim at the Magic's defense and shrunk too much.

Immediately played a pick-and-roll tactic with Van Horn.

Marbury threw away McGrady, stopped suddenly, raised his hand and shot a fadeaway jumper...

Swish-!
Also in.

This season, Marbury's state has reached its peak, averaging 25 points and 8 assists per game.

As a point guard, I don't know, I thought he was going to be the scoring champion?

Off the court, Nets coach Scott had some headaches.

His good tactics are breakthroughs, breakthroughs, breakthroughs...

Or, break and pass the ball after the pick-and-roll.

The remaining offensive methods are left to the stars to solve.

His headache is not Marbury's breakthrough, but his points.

Marbury is still too lonely.

Sudden without distinction.

Block but not pass.

The tactics he wanted couldn't be played at all.

And this is not the most important.

Most importantly, the Nets didn't play defense.

To be fair, it's the opposite of his coaching philosophy.

Pick and roll + defense!

The Nets didn't play anything, how could he not have a headache.

On the field.

The Nets are not defenseless, but defenseless at all.

Hill took advantage of the three-point enthusiasm just now, and after a feint, he broke through with the ball inside.

Three-step layup, one pick in the air.

Swish-!
Easy hit.

Hill mainly plays off the ball, but it doesn't mean that he can't adapt to the situation. He should be chug, and he should be shooting.

In this way, Hill is even more difficult to defend.

Next, for the Nets' offense, it's still Marbury's turn, and it's Van Horn's turn.

Occasionally, it's Kenyon Martin's turn.

Others, just wait to pick up the leak.

If you can't play heads-up, pick-and-roll tactics are required.

If you can't hit the pick-and-roll, then play blindly.

Facing the shrinking Magic team inside, the offensive efficiency is not high.

The Nets do not have a strong inside line, and are more inclined to shoot from the outside, plus the three-point shooting is average.

The situation on the court gradually turned to the Magic.

Don't ask, asking is the lineup crushing.

For example, Duncan vs. Van Horn, Jackson vs. Harris.

Every position, the Magic players are superior.

In addition, the Nets are undefended, and the Magic can play whatever they want.

After the first quarter, the score was 35 to 21. The Magic beat the Nets and took a 14-point lead.

Duncan scored 13 points and 5 rebounds. Van Horn is second in the list. His offense can still keep up with Duncan's level.

Marbury scored 10 points and 2 assists in a single quarter, and the data looks good.

Defensively, but too hip.

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

Put on Maggette, Miller and Magloire.

Scott was a little speechless, calling Li Mu good luck.

This lineup is so fucking bullying.

Also, the Magic rebuild badly and clear their salaries.

The free market harvested three superstars, plus the benefits of rookies, the lineup is naturally very bullying.

Scott can only use old tricks.

It's called the dead man.

Marbury, Van Horn and Kenyon Martin continued to play.

Put on, Aaron Williams and John Newman.

The game is on.

The inside line of the Nets continued to be cleaned up by Duncan.

Aaron Williams, who plays in rotation, is only 2 meters tall, and he is neither three nor four, and playing against Duncan is simply a problem.

You can bully him just by his height.

Subsequently, McGrady scored the ball and forced Maggette to the inside.

Newman is 37 years old. Although he can score 11 points and 2 assists, he is still a strong offensive and defensive player.

Maggette's beastly body made him completely overwhelmed.

Going to the inside, the Nets haven't protected the basket yet, and all that's left is the basket.

In addition, McGrady saw through the Nets' flaws and knew that the opponent had no rebounds.

It's also easier to play, just raise your hand and make a three-pointer.

Magloire is 2 meters tall, taller than the players of the Nets, and it is a pleasure to grab rebounds.

Offensively, the Magic played the momentum of the autumn wind sweeping the leaves.

Marbury, Van Horn and Kenyon Martin are completely inferior in terms of offense.

After the second quarter, the Magic have achieved a 23-point advantage.

You said that the game was a waste of time, and that's not wrong.

Second half of the game.

Li Mu didn't stop, and continued to start the Five Tigers, overwhelmed the score, and stretched it to 30 points. After three quarters, he got off work and rested.

McGrady competed for the scoring title and continued to stay on the court.

Put on Armstrong, Miller, Maggette and Magloire.

The Nets continued to play the main force, but they still couldn't stop it.

hum~
With the sound of the buzzer, the game time is over.

With a score of 126 to 84, the Magic beat the Nets by 41 points, extending the winning streak to 9 games.

Duncan scored 22 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists in less than three quarters, still one word, steady!

McGrady played 40 minutes and scored 35 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds. He is one step closer to Iverson's scoring title.

O'Neal had 14 points and 7 rebounds, not bad.

Hill has 12 points and 3 assists, and his performance is getting better and better.

Marbury scored 36 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds. Unfortunately, the Nets' defense was so bad that he couldn't help it.

On May 12, Army Aviation Arena.

The opponent of the Magic is still the Nets.

The coordinates are the home court of the Nets, and they are also playing back-to-back.

The game was extremely easy.

Before the Magic's offense could exert its strength, the Nets shot themselves to death.

116 to 76! !
With a 39-point victory, the Magic won 10 consecutive victories.
