The owner of the Lakers, Buss, passed away. I would like to express my condolences here. I saw some people on the Internet still criticizing the Lakers despite this news. I personally think it is really unkind. No matter who the fan is, the premise is that everyone is a person. There is no need to take it.
Other people's lives are a joke.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Although Howard said he would never finish with Jefferson, he had already committed three fouls at the end of the first quarter. Pierce committed one at the beginning, and then Milicic and Jefferson each committed one inside. Three fouls meant that
In the second quarter, Howard almost didn't have to play.
In addition to Howard being in foul trouble, Cato was not very comfortable, so even though the Magic trailed 21-29 at the beginning of the second quarter, they still sent in a full bench lineup to give the main team some time to repair.
Francis played a full game in the first quarter, and the Celtics used West, Banks, Payton, and Tony Allen to deal with him in turns. This was a test for Francis's physical strength and willpower.
We know that it is very difficult to break one person's defense on the court. When you have just adapted to one person's defense, and then switch to another person, this will make the offensive players very uncomfortable, and among the four people guarding Francis, except for
Except for West, they are all defensive masters. Although West's defensive ability is not that good, his speed and body are not weak, and he is very energetic and motivated, and can lead the defense from the backcourt. This makes
Francis' physical strength was further consumed.
The Magic's full bench for the second quarter is Point Guard: Jamal Nelson Shooting Guard: Shawn Stevenson Small Forward: Heaton Turkoglu Power Forward: Pat Garrity Center: Tony...
Batty
For the Celtics, point guard: Marcus Banks, shooting guard: Eddie Jones, small forward: Paul Pierce, power forward: Darrell Wright, center: Mark Blount
Rivers once again deployed a small lineup, but the difference from before is that this time the small lineup included Paul Pierce and Eddie Jones, two forward and defensive swingmen with super offensive power, which made the Magic
There is some pressure on the team's lineup, but fortunately, the Magic are not completely unprepared. Sean Stevenson, who later had a quarrel with LeBron James, is a defensive champion, and he also has great offensive abilities.
He has good strength, and the other shooting guard on the bench, Bogans, is also a very hard defensive player.
Jamal Nelson, who thrived in the NCAA, did not get much playing time after coming to the Magic. He usually only had the chance to come up when Francis was off the court, but Francis usually plays in the Magic.
Each game has to play about 34 minutes, so Nelson cherishes the opportunity to play now. Nelson's height is his weakness. Compared with Francis, he is completely at a disadvantage, and he is also bullied on the court. If not
In this case, with his speed and accurate outside shooting ability, his playing time will not be so little. In fact, from the perspective of later generations, Nelson’s rise is still thanks to the Magic’s management, but the Magic’s management has
When the team had a good record, they sent Francis' best buddy, Old Cat Mobley, to the Kings in exchange for the Kings' defensive expert, Christie. It was said to improve the team's defensive strength, but at that time, Christie was already in decline.
, far inferior to Mobley, who can average about 15 points per game. I am afraid that the reason for this is that he is afraid that Francis will be dominant alone and completely overwhelm Hill and Howard. As for who made the suggestion behind it, this is even more...
It's a mystery. In short, after Mobley left, Christie was unable to become a qualified starting shooting guard. At this time, the Magic's tactics changed to Nelson playing the point guard and Francis playing the shooting guard. The result was indeed Nelson's rise, but
It also allowed Francis to change from an All-Star to a player averaging about 15 points per game. I believe that if he hadn't been so confused, the Magic would not have been so chaotic. Although the Magic later had four three-pointers and one Howard.
We entered the finals under the team-building policy, but it later proved that that tactic was uncompetitive. This is how the Magic sent out their own stars to rebuild again and again.
Nelson couldn't take much advantage under Banks' defense. The two had met in college. As the best defensive player in the NCAA, Marcus Banks was naturally familiar with Nelson's characteristics and would not give him any advantage.
His long-range shooting opportunities, letting him break through and getting into the paint without a chance for a layup, and letting him do organizational work are things he still hasn't figured out even when he was 30 years old.
Stevenson and Jones were evenly matched over there. In the small forward matchup, Pierce felt that Turkoglu was more difficult to deal with. Turkoglu's height was equivalent to a mismatch for Pierce, so he could rest assured and be bold.
He can shoot three-pointers, and he has strong organizational skills. He is responsible for organizing the team, not Nelson.
Magic insider Pat Garrity is a three-point shooter of about 2.10 meters, which makes him considered to have the same task as Nowitzki. However, it is a pity that he has the same good skills as Nowitzki.
Apart from three-pointers, he has no strengths. He is afraid of entering the paint and can only stay on the outside. This is why the Celtics used Darrell Wright to face him instead of putting a real
Inside player.
The Celtics had an obvious advantage and soon widened the score to 15 points again. After Pierce completed a dunk on Batty's head, Pierce said to Batty: "Old friend, you don't seem to have it."
Progress!”
Batty used to be a Celtics player and had a good personal relationship with Pierce. He was the culprit who took Pierce to a bar and was stabbed in the head. The Celtics senior management has been unwilling to mention this incident. Later, Pierce was used as the leader of the rebuilding team.
After the core, Batty was traded away. Batty did not have any temper after being detained by his old friend, and said: "Are you so cruel to your old friend?"
Pierce shrugged and said: "If you meet Darko, you will be even worse!"
The Magic couldn't sit still anymore and called a timeout. They thought the substitutes could hold on for a while, but the small lineup led by Pierce and Jones gave the Magic no chance at all, and the score increased to more than ten points. This made the Magic
The team had to substitute Howard, who committed three fouls, and Francis, whose physical strength was declining, on the court.
The Celtics have once again adopted the twin-tower tactic. In recent games, Rivers feels that the team's offensive ability is very strong. It would be a pity to put Milicic and Milicic on the court together.
Jefferson's twin towers and Pierce's split time allowed the Celtics to maintain firepower on the court.
After being substituted again, Al Jefferson was excited. He excitedly said to Milicic: "Let's make that arrogant guy suffer some pain together!"
Milicic thought to himself, this honest man will be even more difficult to mess with after he gets angry!
