The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

G3有多重要就不需要多说了，0-2与0-3虽然看起来只有一场的差距，但背后的意义是完全不同的，自从NBA实行7场4胜的淘汰制以来，还从没有任何一只球队能够在0-3的情况下完成逆转，相反，客场0-2回到主场完成翻盘的比比皆是,甚至1-3落后都有逆转翻盘的先例。

So for the Magic, G3 is their final decisive day. Without this game, G4 and G5 are nothing but a fantasy.

Of course, the Magic understands this, so the pre-match interview coincided with Kenny Smith’s statement at the beginning, even Howard put away his usual laughing and joking, and said solemnly: “Take this game as the last one! "

Before the start, Da Fan, who is not considered a master of chicken soup, gave a speech to the whole team: "Guys, I don't need to say how important this game is to us, do I? We have no way out! Once, my My mentor told me: If you’re not going to do it, please cross it off your list. If you want to be more successful, don’t put anything on your list that you don’t want to do.”

"If you are willing to lose, then this game is irrelevant to you, you can easily lose and go on vacation with salary."

"But if you are not reconciled, or if you want to go a step further and leave your name in history, then, let's fight, today is the best...and the last chance!"

Although the spiritual victory method is very metaphysical, and although chicken soup has been criticized by fans, chicken soup is still very useful at critical moments.

The Magic players were obviously motivated. The Magic had already run out of talent, and their tactics throughout the season were like this. After being easily cracked by the Knicks, they had no special solutions. But once the chicken soup was poured, the effect was immediate...

In a word, magic has to be fought.

Of course, the Knicks also know that this game will be the most difficult one. There are no weak teams in the NBA. It is difficult to deal with any NBA team when it explodes with energy, let alone a strong team like the Magic.

So D'Antoni also kept reminding himself and his players before the game to be careful of the Magic's counterattack.

"Be careful in this game. In addition to winning, the most important thing is to protect yourself, avoid unnecessary injuries, and pay attention to controlling your emotions."

D'Antoni really wanted to say that he can let go even if he can't win. After all, he has a huge advantage, but Zuo Li just won the new MVP and made a shocking speech at the press conference two days ago. The team is in full swing. You can't talk nonsense at this time!

Zuo Li: You are talking nonsense!What you said just now looks like setting up a bad FLAG!

I hope I think too much.

The starters of the two sides remained unchanged, and the Knicks' tactics did not change either. After all, it is the loser's business to change the tactics.

What changes is magic!

Lewis, who has been the starter for a long time, was put on the bench. In the first two games, the former All-Star played a stretch, averaging only 9.8 points and 5.6 rebounds per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was only 28%. Blacksmithing, all kinds of blacksmithing have become the norm for Lewis.

And because he is too stretched, Zuo Li can calmly defend against Howard, Randolph, David Lee, and Anderson, no matter who is playing the fourth position, he can calmly recover and protect the inside line like an iron barrel. .

This also made Howard play very hard, averaging 14.2 points, 9.8 rebounds and 2 blocks per game, which is a lot worse than the regular season.

This can also show that Dayao is really strong. In the Rockets in [-] and [-], except for Scola who was the fourth position in the past two years.

It is said that the Jazz beats the Rockets and Buzetian beats Yao, but the Jazz have been using three players to consume Yao in turn, with Okur defending, Boozer, and Kirilen assisting defense. Yao's statistics are also very good.

Against the Jazz seven times in the playoffs, Yao averaged 25.1 points and 10.9 rebounds per game, both better than his career averages, while Boozer averaged 24.6 points and 11 rebounds per game. On the whole, Yao even has the upper hand.

On the offensive end, Boozer shouldn't be defending Yao. In addition to the fact that the Jazz's tactics are constantly picking and rolling to pull Yao out of position, the Rockets' hot fourth position is the main reason why the Rockets have been failing.

Uncle Huo, Swift, Hayes... It would be great if Scola came earlier, but even Scola just won the Rockets' bet.

That's why Zuo Licai never liked the Rockets' management, and he was stingy.

Back to topic.

Anderson took over the starting position of Lewis. This Anderson is not the same as the Knicks birdman. His full name is Ryan Anderson. He averaged 7.7 points and 3.2 rebounds per game this season. The Rockets' shooting coach, and he's really a big white guy who can shoot [-]s.

Let him be the starter instead of Gortat or Bass, the purpose is still to open up space for Howard.

Yes, the premise is that you have to invest in it.

Ryan Anderson, who had experienced such a big scene for the first time in his career, was obviously not ready for this. On the first ball, Howard was double-teamed inside, and Ryan Anderson missed the ball with no defense in the bottom corner.

Still a bridge!

Zuo Li looked at the ball in distaste, damn it...don't even give me a rebound!

The on-site commentator sighed, because the first attack was finally obtained because the Knicks made a pass error after jumping to the ball from the left, and failed to score.

But you can't criticize Anderson. His stats are there. He is still a rookie in 08. If he plays well, he is picked up. If he plays poorly, it is normal performance. What can you say?

Magic fans: So a bunch of rookies on the opposite side are better than each other!

Uh... This is of course Zuo Lihui's eye for knowledge!

Curry made a three-pointer for the Knicks to open the scoring. The last thing the Magic wanted to see happened. Curry opened it again, which made their defense even tighter.

Fortunately, Carter broke through and caused a thug foul by Belinelli, and two free throws allowed the Magic to stabilize the situation.

But Zuo immediately hit a hook in the low post, and then blocked Nelson's layup. Curry assisted Chandler and made the Knicks' second three-pointer of the field.

The momentum is like a rainbow!

Motivated by lefty MVP, and hungry for victory, the Knicks built an eight-point lead at the first official timeout.

The fans at the scene were a little desperate. This is very similar to the previous two games, and the magic is also in a dignified atmosphere. They actually feel good today, but the Knicks' offense and defense are so good!

"Just play like this, combine inside and outside, how many pick-and-rolls, Curry, left standing, they can't stop you!" D'Antoni said.

However, it was a pick-and-roll after the timeout that brought the game to an unexpected turn!

bump!

Curry had a knee collision with Nelson after the pick-and-roll. After the collision, Curry clutched his knee and fell to the ground in pain. The referee hurriedly stopped the game.

At the same time, there was an argument between Anderson and Randolph on the inside line. In a flashback, Anderson flew two meters away...
