After Marion came down, Edison fulfilled Nash's wish. Now the players on the Magic Field are Nash, Martin, Hill, Dioga Varejao, a standard lineup with one big and four small.
Edison thought very clearly that except for James, the Cavaliers' personal offensive ability is not good, so there is no need to worry about losing points. The first task now is to take advantage of James' rest time to open up the score. If he can end the battle in the first three quarters
most.
When these four appear on the court at the same time, if the Magic wear white clothes, they will be the Sacramento Magic.
There is no need for Edison to arrange, the four of them rely purely on basketball IQ to cover each other's runs. Diaw and Varejao support the cover in the high post, Nash organizes from the outside, and Hill and Martin get in and out of the gaps. The Cavaliers players simply don't understand.
Every one of them looks like a loach.
If the Magic's starting lineup showed a primitive beauty of wild power, then the current Magic is showing the ultimate in technical coordination. The five people on the court can pass the ball, and they can all pass the ball. The Magic's offense is as good as
The mercury is common.
Although they are both at Princeton, there is still a clear difference between today's magic and the King's.
The Magic play faster. Although the Kings are very quick to find loopholes after getting into position, and can basically take action after two or three passes, the team advances very slowly in order to take care of Divac.
But the Magic don't use it. Varejao is just a big white rabbit. He can run and jump. With his two long legs, he can run no slower than Hill and others. So although it seems that the Magic's offensive line has become more complicated, it is not like before.
After a pick-and-roll, I immediately looked for an opportunity to take a shot, but the attack time was still an astonishing 8 seconds, very fast, and the shooting rate was amazing.
On the other hand, the Cavaliers' bench, without James, is like a headless chicken. Everyone has no backbone, and they are full of unconfidence in dribbling and passing.
That is to say, Ilgauskas has a bald head and reflects the light of the spotlight to indicate a passing point for the Cavaliers' players. Otherwise, the Cavaliers would not even know how to play or who to play.
However, the Cavaliers' substitutes are all muscular blue-collar players, and there is no basket on the outside, so the Magic's Martin and Hill have to move in, and both of them have very fast hands, so Big Z cannot dribble habitually after receiving the ball.
When playing from behind, dribbling is the starting point for many lower-body footwork. If you don't dribble, you won't be able to do many moves, and you won't be able to do many fake moves. But if you dribble, someone will immediately come to double-team you, just like us.
It looks like Yao Ming was double-teamed when he was playing in the back. Once someone double-teams him, 90% of the time the ball will be lost.
This is also the reason why few players over 220cm tall can achieve success in the league. Their center of gravity is too high, their dribbling rebounds are too slow, and they are easily intercepted. However, Yao Ming and Ilgos
The key reason why Cass can succeed is that they have a shooting range that is rare for traditional American centers.
Traditional NBA centers basically attack the paint area. Outside the paint area, they basically have no means of scoring. Yao Ming and Big Z both have good mid-range shots, and Yao Ming has one more low-post turnaround jump shot than Big Z.
.If there is no mid-range shooting ability, then a center above 220cm will be a tragedy in the NBA, unless his wingspan is even more amazing and he can forcefully lower the center of gravity when dribbling.
However, the average center's height is 213cm and his wingspan is about 223cm. If a person with a height of 220cm or above wants to achieve the same dribbling center of gravity, his wingspan must be at least 237cm or more. This situation is crazy.
Back to the game, Big Z couldn't score, and the rest of the Cavaliers couldn't count on it, so the Cavaliers' scoring stagnated. Although the Cavaliers' coach Silas was also very anxious, he couldn't think of a way, after all, he didn't have anything in his hands.
Card, unless James is allowed to play again, but that is unrealistic. James's physical fitness has reached its extreme now. If you still let him play, what will happen in the last quarter? He must be allowed to take a break...
The Cavaliers were languishing, but the Magic were full of energy, scoring like they were trying to find something. The score between the two sides gradually opened up, and by the end of the third quarter, 65-79, the Magic led by 14 points.
When the fourth quarter began, the Cavaliers' Silas adjusted to let Big Z rest, but sent out James.
When Edison saw that James was out, he also replaced Nash and replaced him with Iguodala. He also replaced Martin and replaced him with Wallace, then James. But he still kept Diaw and Hill to maintain the offensive firepower.
Edison thought clearly and let the substitutes fight for a while longer, then waited until the last 8 minutes before letting Nash and others come out to end the battle.
But the extras in Knight actually began to tamper with the script without permission.
James still looked like a dead dog off the court, with his head lowered and a towel covered, not moving or talking, just drinking water and panting heavily, but as soon as he came on the court, he seemed to be a different person.
The fatigue off the court was extremely strong.
At the beginning of the game, he beat Wallace and rushed into the paint with a chop.
This is not the scariest thing. After dunking, he quickly returned to defense. Originally, Iguodala sent the ball directly to the frontcourt, and Hill was ready for a fast break. But James
He ran back to defend at high speed and slapped Hill's layup onto the backboard.
This ball fully reflects James' physical fitness. Whether it is the speed of returning to defense, the height of the jump, or even the ability to stay in the air, it is astonishing.
The fans at home instantly became excited, and under the leadership of the DJ, they all shouted "king! king!"
But no one thought that this was not the end. After blocking the shot, James quickly turned around and followed the team on the fast break.
After Jeff McGinnis received the ball from James, he took the lead and rushed towards the Magic's hinterland. Fortunately, the Magic were also playing fast break just now, and Iguodala and Varejao were still behind.
Individuals formed two lines of defense one after another. McGinnis and Mark Jackson played a 2-and-1. After passing Iguodala, Varejao blocked him, and Mark Jackson on the other side was also blocked.
Iguodala got involved.
Just when McGinnis felt that the opportunity for a fast break was gone, he heard a voice from behind calling him to pass the ball. The voice and tone seemed too familiar to McGinnis, so he quickly turned around and passed the ball back.
It was James who called out. No matter how fierce he was, he couldn't run three times in a row and still lead the team. At this time, he had just reached the three-point line. After McGinnis passed the ball, he squatted slightly.
Then take off, straighten your arms naturally, and shoot a three-pointer.
The ball was very flat, had no arc, and was not very fast, but Edison knew it was broken when he saw it.
Sure enough, with a "swish" sound, the ball hit the net.
At 70-79, the score between the two sides was back within 10 points. The most important thing was that James seemed to be fully charged again, and he could not tell he was tired at all.
The ball was scored, and the whole place was in a state of excitement. The Cavaliers' bench was also excited. Big Z started waving towels with his head in his head, and others were also spouting various words. The fans even spontaneously shouted "mvp"
!mvp!”
The Magic players stood on the court with confused faces. They had no idea what was going on just now.
Edison saw that this was not going to work. His own morale was gone, but the opponent's morale was rising. This was not a good sign. So he quickly applied for a timeout to let the players relax.
At this time, Thibodeau shook his head and said: "The pass Iguodala made just now was not good. Grant slowed down in order to catch the ball, otherwise James would not have been able to catch up."
"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, he's not Nash. He's already done a pretty good job. Under normal circumstances, nothing will happen to this ball." Edison bit his lip and said...
After the players came down, Edison did not scold the players because he knew that what happened just now was not the player's fault, but that James performed too well. Similarly, Edison did not make any substitutions, because the Magic players were all young, and if something went wrong, they would
Substitution would not be good for their future growth, and besides, this is not a time in the playoffs where every goal can determine a season's efforts.
"Don't think about the scene just now. It's nothing. It's just that he has better luck. Next, we will play normally. Iguodala, you will cover for Diaw and Grant, and then you two will attack. Wallace, you still
To pull James as far as possible outside the three-point line, Varejao pays attention to grabbing rebounds. Do you all know?"
"Their offense will definitely still have James as the core. Wallace, you have to do the same as before and continue to fight with him. Don't worry about physical problems. Iguodala, you have to pay attention to helping Wallace and McGinnis' long shots.
It’s not accurate, so you double-team James at the right time. Get ready to play, eon! eon!”
"eon!" The Magic players once again folded their hands and cheered, finally regaining some morale.
The next few rounds were smooth for both sides, and James did not transform into a Super Saiyan again.
There are 7 minutes left before the end of the game, 76-84, and the Magic lead by 8 points.
Edison took advantage of the dead ball opportunity and replaced Howard, Josh and Marion.
Similarly, Silas of the Cavaliers also let Snow and Big Z return to the battle, and the two sides started against each other again.
Because both sides had fresh troops on the field, the fight became more intense, one by one and one by one, but there was always a gap of about 6 points, but the situation suddenly changed in the last three minutes.
After Iguodala missed a three-pointer, Big Z took the rebound and passed the ball directly, and the Cavaliers went on a fast break.
James received the ball in the frontcourt and rushed directly towards the Magic's basket. But Marion was faster than him and had already retreated.
But James rushed so hard that the other Magic players couldn't catch up. Marion thought he was almost in the three-second zone, and suddenly took a big step for joy, then turned around and stood still without moving, trying to cause James to foul.
But the gap between the two people was too close before. As soon as Marion turned around, James arrived, and the two people collided and turned upside down.
In fact, you can't tell who fouled this ball because it was too fast and all the actions were completed in an instant. But James has a godfather. Marion can only be regarded as the ambassador of Mars to the earth if he dies, but this title
NBA referees don’t recognize it.
Block fouls.
James went to the free throw line and made a solid free throw, leaving a 4-point gap.
The Magic turned to attack, but Nash's shot was affected by Big Z. After all, when the 221cm tall man stood there, the pressure was very strong. Nash subconsciously increased the arc of the ball, but he was unlucky.
It bounced on the neck of the basket, but Toni Bati took it.
The Cavaliers' offense did not look for James this time, but gave Big Z a dribble. Josh on the side quickly came over to double-team him, trying to make another mistake. But this time it was Big Z who planned it.
Seeing Josh coming over, one was handed to Batty, who was in a high position.
After years of experience in the league, Tony Barty still has a mid-range shot. After catching the ball, he raised his hand and the ball went in, only 2 points away.
Edison quickly called a timeout and rearranged his tactics.
When the Magic attacked, Josh and Howard continuously provided screens for Nash. Nash once again faced the big Z and succeeded in slipping to the baseline and made a backhand layup.
"This finally stabilizes the situation a little bit." Edison was very nervous. In order to cover up his nervousness, he kept talking to Thibodeau.
At the most critical moment, although James was out of breath, the Cavaliers players still had to rely on him.
James was too tired. After catching the ball on the wing, he stepped sideways and tried to break through Marion again. But Marion had already thought of it this time. Regardless of the pain in his ribs from being hit, he gritted his teeth and followed James...
This is also because James's physical fitness is not good enough. Otherwise, even if Marion grits his teeth again, he will be thrown away. Before he could escape, James took another step, but was still followed. So without thinking, James used his feet to move toward
Jump forward, land on the ground and use one leg to jump up and shoot.
But even so, Marion was not completely thrown away. Marion was still at his armpit.
When Marion saw James shooting, he quickly jumped up to block the shot. However, James was too tired at this time. When he stepped back in the final jump, he did not fully exert his strength. When he got up, his body lost his balance. However, he still avoided Marion.
He blocked the shot and threw the ball out, but he still scored.
Marion looked at it and thought, I might as well not block the shot, otherwise he might not be able to score.
But something unexpected happened. The referee's whistle sounded and another defensive foul was called on Marion.
In fact, this cannot be entirely blamed on the referee. As I said before, James usually plays very tough. Generally, he does not dive and just fights hard. Now he suddenly lost his balance, and the referee subconsciously felt that Marion had hit him just now.
, otherwise he would not have fallen, so the foul was called.
Before Marion could react, Edison was angry off the court.
He was already very nervous, and his nerves were tense all the time. As soon as he heard about the foul, he directly reasoned with the referee, "My player fouled, it was obviously his move first. If they move, you don't call it, my player
You blew it without any extra movement, what do you think? You have no eyes."
Although there is no zero-tolerance policy yet, Edison was clearly yelling at the referee. The referee on duty did not hesitate, and the whistle sounded again, indicating a technical foul.
Edison was also completely dizzy. When he saw that the referee called a foul on himself, he became even more angry, "Fuck, call me a foul..." Thibodeau saw that the situation was wrong and quickly pulled Edison down, but the word starting with "f"
You can hear it clearly.
The whistle blew again and he was ejected directly. So Edison walked into the tunnel amidst the boos from the home fans.
On the court, James first made his own extra penalty, 2+1. Then he made an extra penalty for a technical foul, tying the score. Then in the Cavaliers' offense, Big Z scored with Howard's hook and went ahead.
Got the score.
As for the Magic, Edison was no longer on the court and the players were too young. Although Thibodeau quickly brought Hill on the court, Hill and Nash alone could no longer control the situation.
In the end, 112-107, the Magic were upset by the Cavaliers.
