Chapter 368

Magic players are resisting shooting threes!

When Stan Van Gundy noticed this conclusion, he faintly felt his temples swell.

Headache.

What to do next!
Van Gundy never imagined that his team would one day resist shooting threes.

But thinking about it carefully, all this seems so reasonable. The poor performance of the Magic's shooters outside the three-point line in the first two games caused them to be ridiculed and abused from all directions.

Especially Jamal Nelson, who made more than a dozen three-pointers in the past two games, but only hit 1 goal, and was scolded bloody.

It can be seen from the game tonight that he is protesting this abuse with his actions.

His shots tonight are extremely reasonable. In the first quarter, he only took 3 shots and got 2 of them. It is not the best opportunity and he will not shoot. This is the most obvious place for him tonight.

He seems to be responding to fans who blame him in this way: Look!Even if I play reasonably, the Magic will still lose!
The other players did not seem to be as strong as him, but they are more or less expressing their attitudes. They will no longer be like the previous two games tonight, trying hard to find opportunities to shoot three-pointers on the offensive end. They will choose some insurance methods more.

This is a terrible phenomenon. In Van Gundy's view, the hearts of these players have been scattered. They are no longer playing to win the Bucks, but just to prove that they are not a cancer. The reason why the Magic lost , the responsibility is not on them!

"Hey, guys, listen..." Van Gundy wanted to say something, he wanted these players to continue throwing three-pointers according to his tactics, but he was a little afraid to say it halfway through, he was afraid of appearing The situation where the players contradicted him, seriously, the current situation, the time before the last straw that crushed them floated on their backs, it is very likely in the second quarter, if this At that time, if his arrangement made the players not want to implement it, it was undoubtedly speeding up the time for the straw to fall. Therefore, Van Gundy swallowed the words again, and he changed his thinking: "Our performance in the first quarter Yes, we only scored one goal less than the Bucks, it’s not a big deal, in the second quarter I hope everyone can continue the performance of the first quarter, of course, I hope we can play more positively this time!”

"Guys, it's not that we can't win the Bucks. It's just a six-point gap. Three two-pointers, or two three-pointers. I believe you can do it. Just like last year, we won't be defeated. We rushed to the finals when we were optimistic, but this year we are still not optimistic, if this is the case, then what we have to do is to shock those fans again!"

"Are you ready? Guys, one time is enough!"

After all, Van Gundy is a master student who came out of the hands of the "magic fortune teller", and he can cook chicken soup for the soul. After this long list of words, the morale of the entire Magic team has obviously become a little different.

Van Gundy doesn't expect to change the momentum of this team all of a sudden, but as long as they can continue to fight and don't give up, that's fine!
***
The second quarter begins.

The two sides are regular rotation time, but Van Gundy did not let Howard rest, but directly pulled him up.

He has already experienced Crawford's ability. He doesn't want the game to be close to garbage time before the main players of the Magic team come up. If that is the case, the game will definitely not be saved.

But what if the point difference can be maintained in the second quarter?

Maybe the Magic team will be able to recover this small point difference after a wave of momentum in the future!
Just in this way, Howard is likely to stand on the court for more than 44 minutes tonight.

But now that the Magic team has one foot on the edge of a cliff, these problems are not considered problems!Van Gundy would love to put himself on the court for 48 minutes if he wins by himself.

Crawford hit a 3-pointer as soon as he came up, but Howard quickly returned a dunk. Although it was 1 point short, it was better than Crawford scoring a [-]-pointer. They were not as good.

Moreover, it is impossible for Crawford to score every three-pointer.

Crawford's state today is a bit worse than the previous two days.

In the first two games of his various convulsions, Van Gundy also obtained a lot of information. Against Crawford, he used all this information on the defensive end today.

The series of playoffs is to frantically target the opponent's shortcomings in the next game, discover new problems while the opponent solves this problem, and continue to target in the next game until the winner is determined.

The playoffs are such a horror.

And as Crawford, who entered the playoffs for the first time, after playing almost the same in the first two games, he finally suffered a similar target, which can be regarded as a real experience of the cruelty of the playoffs.

Because Crawford's offensive momentum was not as good as in the previous two games, the Magic with Howard on the court had an advantage during this period, narrowing the point difference to only 3 points.

Little K had to pull all the Bucks' starters to the field.

This is one of the few moments in the series where the Magic have the upper hand so far.

However, Little K is not just for nothing. When he saw that Van Gundy was going to use Howard to death, he had already made up his mind, but it was just the method in his mind. Relying on the Bucks' substitutes would not have much impact, and he waited until the Bucks The main force of the team was about to play, so he said: "Wait a minute, all the offenses will come to Howard. It is best to draw fouls. If he can't draw fouls, it will also consume his energy!"

Since Van Gundy uses Howard in this way, then Little K will use his tricks to consume Howard's physical strength. No one is a perpetual motion machine and can always maintain sufficient physical strength. Even if Howard is called "Superman", he will also be tired.

The Bucks started targeting Howard. Howard didn't react at first, and rewarded each of those guys looking for him with a block.Zheng was proud of himself, but then he felt a little uncomfortable, especially after two fouls in a row around 8 minutes into the second quarter, he became timid on the defensive end, and he didn't dare to defend like just now.

"That's it, Dwight, I'll ask others to help you defend!" Van Gundy acquiesced to Howard's behavior. After all, once Howard is really sent off like this, the Magic will have nothing to turn around in this game.

But in this way, the third benefit of Little K against Howard emerged-the Magic penalty area without Howard suddenly became the back garden of the Bucks. Don't treat yourself as an outsider.

58 to 49, at the end of halftime, the Bucks led by another 9 points.
