591 Is this the final?
As Sun Zhengping said, at the beginning of the second quarter, the Magic changed the lineup, Nelson Jr. made a comeback again, and Iverson was still on the court, and the two were on the same side.
Seeing this, Sun Zhengping was a little proud. He said: "From this substitution, Mr. Van Gundy is just a name. Yes, Nelson Jr. may create some trouble for Iverson. He will do better in defense than Alstom or Courtney. But what about offense? He has no overall view, his tactical arrangements are also very disordered, and it will cause greater harm to the team."
Teacher Zhang Heli smiled and said, "Maybe this is the inspiration obtained from the Zen Master vs. Tyron-Lu in the 2011 finals. Nelson is the same height as Ai, and has stronger strength, and may be able to gain miraculous effects."
In the 2011 Finals, Iverson fought and clashed 40 in the first game, and gave the Lakers the first defeat in Los Angeles, who had an undefeated game in the entire playoffs. Later, the Zen master arranged Tyron Lu, who had a figure and image similar to Iverson, to defend him, and the effect was good. Of course, this is just a general understanding. In fact, Kobe was double-teaming to assist in the defense and interception of Iverson at any time.
Relying on just one Tyron Lue can defend Iverson? Without further ado, just talk about the scene when Iverson knocked him down and stepped over, and you will know what the answer is to this opponent.
The game continued. Seeing the Warriors lineup, Barkley and Smith laughed at the same time and shouted: "This old guy is so crazy. Oh my god, don't he know this is the finals? Don't he think it's too much?"
Hill ended up, and it was Moro who appeared on the court. In other words, the Warriors' lineup is purely one, four, and there is no player above 2 meters tall. Except for Chamberlain, the other four are defenders.
This arrangement made Magic fans feel insulted. They booed like a tide and raised their middle fingers to Old Nelson in anger. The latter didn't care and kept waving their fists: "Observation, offense, offense is the best defense. How can you score without attack? How can you win the championship without attack?"
Magic ball rights, the Warriors adopted a strategy of pressing down on defense. Iverson pestered Nelson Jr., and he had to hand over the ball rights to Tkoglu, who also had good ball control skills and had a height advantage.
As a result, as soon as Tkogru got the ball, West made a quick decision and almost saved the ball, which scared the handsome Turkish man in a cold sweat.
Lewis was supporting him at a high position. He was about to get the ball. When he saw that it was Morrow who was facing the position, he showed a disdainful expression on his face and thought to himself that you didn’t underestimate us? Well, I’ll teach you a lesson | Lewis will play when you think so, and Morrow will step by step and can’t stand it.
Pushing to the middle of the left wing, Lewis suddenly retracted the ball and turned around, stomped his feet and jumped up, shaking his hands to record a stable shot.
With a dull "bang", the ball started to fall as soon as it flew not long. Lewis's pupils contracted, and Chamberlain was like a demon god in the Nine Heavens, giving him a big hat from the front.
Van Gundy couldn't help but take off her suit and threw it hard on the floor. Lewis was not the kind of fool who was prone to getting hot. Since he took action, he was sure that Chamberlain had no time to make up for defense, but he still made a mistake. At this time, Van Gundy and others discovered that Chamberlain was not the strongest Chamberlain in the defensive state. In order to attack, he only put out five points on the defensive end. Now that he put out 100% of his strength, the defensive end is even more terrifying.
Morrow turned around and grabbed the ball, West, Curry and Iverson rushed down in a font shape, Van Gundy roared: "Hurry, hurry up, hurry up, go down, guard against it."
The Magic players gritted their teeth and chased forward. The problem was that the Warriors were four guards, and only Nelson Jr. chased after the Magic. When Tkoglu and Courtney and others ran to the frontcourt, Curry had already passed the ball to Iverson, and the latter picked up the basket to complete the attack.
The Magic still passed the ball to Lewis to solve the problem. His height advantage was the most obvious. This time, Mr. Jin did not play any trick of back-to-back pushing. Yu Qiang quickly jumped over Morrow's head and scored two points.
Barkley nodded and said, "Rashard is right to do this, don't hesitate. Since your opponent is so much shorter than you, then you can shoot with confidence and keep shooting until the Warriors can't stand it, so that these bastards dare to underestimate you.
Smith rolled his eyes and said, "I finally understand why you are a commentator rather than a coach. Charles, your mind is too simple. Compared with your player days, you have not made any progress at all. I have to doubt you. Your brain is only as big as your front teeth. Do you think the Warriors are afraid of Lewis' long shots? Old Nelson is probably waiting for this time. Morrow's defense is indeed poor, but there is no desirability. Under his disturbance, Rashad's shooting rate will not increase much. However, when the Magic gets used to him to shoot, the Warriors suddenly replaced a guy who can entangle Rashad, and the Magic will be dangerous."
The problem that Smith could think of would not have been Van Gundy not imagined? But there was nothing we could do. The situation was stronger than that. If Lewis was not allowed to shoot, the Magic would collapse earlier.
The Magic did not dare to hit a shot, so they immediately ran down and completed the offensive and defensive transition, because the Warriors' attack pace was too fast. Once the rebound was grabbed by Chamberlain, he would immediately make a long pass throughout the game, and the Warriors played fast break to score.
The Warriors frequently used this tactic in the second quarter: Tekoglu missed a jump shot, Chamberlain took the rebound, Iverson had already rushed through the half, he made a long pass in half, Iverson received the ball and took the lead and entered the penalty area, scoring a three-step layup.
The worst thing is that once during this period, after the Magic scored, Chamberlain quickly withdrew from the baseline to serve and threw the ball directly into the frontcourt. Morrow and Curry had already rushed over. In just four seconds, the Warriors completed the counterattack.
The fans behind were fine, their vision was wide, and although the fans in front could watch the ball more clearly, their vision was limited, so they had to twist their necks continuously and run with the ball. The Warriors made a long pass, and someone twisted his neck and slammed his neck, and the cervical spine was misaligned.
After the first half, Magic fans began to leave the game. This ball was not only painful but also uncomfortable.
The Warriors expanded their lead to 18 points 6-0, and Iverson scored 3 points in half, becoming the creator of the finals' half-time scoring record.
The Magic team was dragged down by the Warriors' offensive rhythm. Zhang Heli and Sun Zhengping's analysis was very correct. Nelson Jr. would not control the rhythm. If Billups were in the Magic, it would be better if they were in the Warriors. Nelson Jr. actually ran with the Warriors, and he also played fast attacks. Of course, Nelson Jr. is indeed good at this, but the Warriors are not good at it, they are proficient. Old Nelson started out with this.
Back in the locker room, Van Gundy's roar rang through the wall and ran far away. Howard's face looked extremely ugly. As the Magic's first offensive point, he only scored 7 points in the half today, and this year's playoffs, he averaged 2.2 points per game, which is a considerable score.
The Warriors' locker room was filled with laughter. Iverson pushed away the chair and lay on the floor, leaning against the wardrobe, and gasping heavily. Hill threw him a bottle of multi-purpose drink. He waved his hand to refuse and asked in difficulty: "Is there water? Damn, I am thirsty now like a salmon thrown into the Sahara Desert. I don't need drinks, I just want water."
"Is it a pleasure for the first half?" Barnes asked enviously.
When Iverson mentioned this topic, he was shocked. He gulped a bottle of water and shouted excitedly: "It's so fucking good. Are you sure this is the final? Damn, I thought I would collect the videos of today's game with me. I would also treasure the game balls. It feels great."
Old Nelson walked in and heard Iverson's words, and he said: "Just be happy, Allen, we have two people. You come on the bench in the third quarter and Chauncey will play."
Iverson still wants to play. The previous game gave him the feeling of being more than ten thousand people in the 76ers era, but he is mature after all and knows that he can't go against the head coach's arrangements, otherwise he will be unlucky if he gets into trouble.
Old Nelson gave Iverson a lot of face, and he explained: "Save some physical strength, boys, if you win today, we won't get the O'Brien Cup. We still have three games to play. Only by winning all of them can we become the championship."
Iverson and others nodded. This reason is very good. They played a bit too strong in the first half and their physical strength was exhausted from the outside.
Billups played, inside Chamberlain also came with an assistant, Ibaka finally returned, and the remaining two were West and Curry.
Van Gundy still didn't want to give up this game. He reorganized Shanhe and changed the lineup. Howard and Lewis were in the inside, the small forward on the outside was replaced by Pitrus, the defender on the organization was still Nelson Jr., and the shooting guard was replaced, Redick appeared.
Redick is known as the most handsome guy in the NH. He was really popular when he was in the NCAAR. He was a superstar in the university league. How high is his status? Comparing with the NHA, it is equivalent to the height of Magic Johnson and Bird Bird. Unfortunately, because of his physical fitness, his development after coming to NHAO is unsatisfactory.
Van Gundy let Redick play because of the latter's sharpshooting technique. He hopes that others can cover up creating opportunities for Redick to kill the Warriors.
This arrangement is not very effective. After the change of sides, Redick made a move on Curry's head, and the two sharpshooters met at this moment. As a result, Redick felt cold and the ball popped up. He was grabbed by Ibaka and waved to Billups.
Nelson Jr. thought Billups would slow down the pace of the game, but he was faster. His speed was the overall speed. He led all players to accelerate, commanding his teammates' placement and cover while running. Curry and West ran across, Chamberlain continued to pick and roll in the high position, Billups suddenly passed the ball to Ibaka in the inside, and the Congolese dunked.
The Warriors' outgoing and shooting from the outside quickly helped the team lead by 2 points, which was a very terrifying point difference. At the critical moment, Lewis hit the point and suppressed the position in time, and Howard also blocked Curry's layup. The situation of the Magic was a little better.
Then, Billups counterattacked outside the three-point line and repeatedly poured the ball. He took action when the 24-second ended and hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer.
Redick faced West with the help of Tkoglu's cover, and he raised his hand to shoot. Mr. Mad Dog hit his elbow under his ribs and directly knocked down the handsome guy. Redick's failure to come out in NHAf is also related to his heart. He does not have the determination to become stronger at all costs. West's elbow was exchanged for two free throws, which also made him afraid.
These guys on the other side are all crazy people.
Lewis wants to play the role in the second quarter, but now the defender is replaced by Ibaka, who is tall and strong, and his breakthrough layup was blocked by the Congo man, which makes Lewis very embarrassed. Mr. Jin, who is so angry, pushed Ibaka. The referee is not polite and immediately gave him a technical foul.
Billups scored consecutively with free throws, and Chamberlain no longer held the penalty area. He led the offense twice, and both made a difficult shot under the 2I and even made a foul defense. Now, Magic fans were panicked. It turned out that the opponent was so much better than them.
After the third quarter, the Warriors led by 18 points with 4. If Pitrus hadn't had a buzzer-beat three-pointer, the situation for the Magic would have been even more ugly.
The last quarter started, and Chamberlain and Billups worked together. The two of them cooperated continuously and played the inside and outside of the Magic. The Magic had no choice but to watch the opponent score again and again.
Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Warriors led by 25 points, and Old Nelson replaced all the main players, and Evans Barnes and others came on the court.
Even so, the Magic did not seize the opportunity to turn the defeat into victory. They used their main players to play as a substitute, but only scored 10 points in five minutes. L min before the game ended, the Warriors still led by 15 points with l2. Magic fans gave up completely. In the end, except for some hardcore fans with strong nerves, everyone else left the field and left sadly.
By the end of the game, there were more Warriors fans than Magic fans in the stadium in the Water House Center, which has never happened in the NHA Finals.
Chapter completed!
