Chapter 78: Unexpected upset

"It was another steal. Tony Allen ran quickly after completing the steal and dunked successfully. The Magic stole the ball from the Warriors for two consecutive rounds, and then succeeded in a fast break, rewriting the score to 60-71 in one fell swoop. Now the away game is

The Magic led by 11 points, and with less than 2 minutes to go before the end of the third quarter, the Warriors requested a timeout. In fact, the Warriors have been very chaotic in the last few minutes, without a clear offensive idea." Yu Jia was sitting on CCTV.

Comments are being made in the live broadcast seats.

"That's right. As you said, we can see that the Warriors are actually playing very chaotically now, and their handling of the ball is very unreasonable. Just like this time, as soon as Carroll passed halftime, the Magic's Tony

Allen just pushed up as usual, but he didn't dare to take the ball anymore, so he picked it up. Then at this time, the other Warriors players didn't move..."

"They're all there watching."

"Oh, yes, they were all watching and didn't know how to respond. Dunleavy was the only one leaning towards him. Then Carroll could only pass to Dunleavy. But his intention was too obvious, and Tony Allen saw through it immediately.

, and then steal. In fact, it’s not just about this one ball. The Warriors have had this problem since the beginning. After one person gets the ball, everyone else is watching. There is no running cover cooperation, and it all depends on individual singles. This is very special.

It’s unreasonable. But because the Magic’s shooting percentage was very low in the first half, they were not defeated.”

"Well, the Magic's shooting percentage in the first half was 35%, and they only made 2 of 8 three-pointers for 25%."

"Yes, because the Magic's own offensive ability is not good and there is a problem with the shooting rate, so the problem of the Warriors' tactical operation not being smooth enough has been covered up. But after we watched the Magic's second half, the players regained their touch, whether it was Nash,

Hill, Diaw, Marion and others all made shots. In the third quarter, each of the four of them scored a three-pointer. Yes. The Magic have regained their touch and their shooting percentage has gone up. You Warriors should still follow the above rules.

If we play with half-time thinking, it will definitely not work."

"Then how do you think the Warriors should adjust?"

"First of all, the Warriors players must move and run, not like running around like before, but in response to each other's movements. Second, they have to play inside and shoot from the outside. He can't shoot the Magic now.

Yes, and his own shooting percentage is also problematic. Third, it must be combined inside and outside. But now the Warriors only have one Fowler inside, but this person's ability is average. It is really difficult for the Warriors to combine inside and outside. Finally, it is also the most critical.

One point, we must improve the intensity and quality of defense. Defensive players must follow the person they are guarding and cannot lose track. Otherwise, if you let the Magic miss, then there will be few teams in the league that can stop them.

Support." Zhang Weiping pinched his fingers to analyze the Warriors' situation.

The commentators off the court analyzed it very well, and the Warriors' head coach Montgomery also knew it, but the team just couldn't implement his tactics.

Montgomery accepted Mullin's invitation to become the head coach of the Warriors on May 21 last year. Before that, he had no experience coaching an NBA team. However, Montgomery has become famous in the NCAA. In the past 18 games

During the season, he led Stanford University to enter the NCAA national championship 16 times, and it has been a must-win every year in the past 10 years.

However, just like Pitino, Floyd and other famous NCAA coaches in the past, Montgomery's NBA coaching journey is also very bumpy. The biggest problem is that the players here cannot listen to him like college students.

In the NCAA, he means whatever he says on the team. No college student dares to resist him. If you dare to challenge him, he will take you down. But it doesn't work here. His method of scaring people on college campuses simply won't work. Although

There are not many big names in the Warriors, but everyone is happy with food and drink, and they don't pay attention to him at all.

In the final analysis, his reputation is not enough to control the situation...

So the characteristic of the current Warriors is that they have no problem hitting the wind. They have been with the Spurs before, so they can hit whatever they want. But when the wind goes against them, no one can lift them up, and they all fall down.

This is the situation now. Although Montgomery tried his best to talk to him about tactics and the players gathered around him, no one knew whether he listened or not.

The Warriors players still looked carefree after taking the field, walking around the court as if they were walking down the street.

Montgomery watched with secret resentment. He turned his back to the court and couldn't bear to watch it. After turning his back, he accidentally saw the "bearded" Balang Dai sitting behind the bench.

It's been almost a month since Wes Davis came over from the Hornets, but his foot is still not healed and he still can't play.

"This guy is quite competitive. I hope his efforts can make the team stronger."

Montgomery was just thinking about this when he heard "wow~~~" from all the fans in the audience.

It turned out that Hill and Varejao were 2 on 1 in the frontcourt. After the two of them exchanged blows, Hill sent the ball to the edge of the basket, and Varejao jumped high to catch the ball and directly hit it.

Alley-oop. Although Varejao and Howard can't jump as high as Varejao, Varejao looks more powerful in the air.

Varejao is originally taller than Howard, and everyone knows that Howard has a bald head and Varejao has a bobbed head, so his size appears larger and the visual impact after the alley-oop is stronger.

After the goal was scored, Montgomery knew that it was completely over. All the Warriors players were wilting, the team had no morale at all, and every player was waiting to die.

But in fact, it was carried out in accordance with Montgomery's ideas.

In the end, the Magic defeated the Warriors 95-115 in an away game, restarting their three-game winning streak.

Although 6 players of the Warriors scored in double figures in this game, which sounds very fierce, they were all barely 10 points. Dunleavy Jr. was the best performer of the Warriors, only scoring 17 points, and then there was Fisher.

of 14 points.

On the Magic side, only 5 players scored in double figures.

Because the Warriors were weak inside, Howard and Josh were in the Warriors' restricted area and wreaked havoc like no one was around.

Howard had 21 points and 16 rebounds, but he didn't block any shots, because the Warriors shot all from the outside, and no one rushed to the Magic's basket, giving him no chance to block shots.

Josh Smith had 24 points, 10 rebounds and 1 block. When he got a chance, he slapped Dunleavy Jr., and his frontcourt rush was very strong today. 6 of his 10 rebounds came from the frontcourt.

Nash played very steadily, with 12 points and 14 assists. His points were once again less than his assists. He now averages 13.6 assists per game, far ahead of second place Kidd's 9.8. What is now in front of Nash is

Hitting Isiah Thomas with a score of 13.86, becoming the second person in NBA history to have the most assists in a single season.

After Iguodala was brutally beaten by James in the last game, he regained his self-esteem in Golden State today. His comprehensive performance of 17 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 steals told everyone that he was ranked No. 1 in the draft.

The person in front of Josh should be the number two rookie in the Magic.

Marion also scored 20 points today. After coming to the Magic, Edison did not arrange a separate offensive tactical routine for him, so his offense usually relied on fast breaks, secondary attacks or three-pointers from the bottom corner.

The score obtained is usually about 16 points, which is limited compared to Iguodala. But today's Warriors made too many mistakes, giving the Magic too many fast break opportunities, and Marion became the first beneficiary of the rare situation.

The score went up to 20.

Since there was no game for the Magic the next day, there was no need to catch a red-eye flight back. All members of the Magic spent the night in Golden State. To be precise, except for Howard, Diaw, Varejao, Tony Allen, and Marion

The other people spent the night in the hotel, and the five mentioned above spent the middle of the night in the hotel...

Early the next morning, Thibodeau called all the players, and then everyone flew back to Orlando. They only stayed in Orlando for one afternoon, and the players rushed to Atlanta to prepare for the away game against the Hawks on the evening of the 10th.

There are very few games on February 10, only 3 games. The first one is the Hawks-Magic, then the Lakers-Pistons rematch of last season's finals, and finally the strong dialogue between the Kings-SuperSonics. The following two games

TNT has arranged live broadcasts across the country, but no one paid attention to the magic show.

Originally, according to the speculations of experts and anecdotes, the results of the first two games were already certain. The Magic's record was first, and the Hawks' record was also first, but they were last. Everyone felt that the Magic would definitely win. The Lakers and Pistons

The same is true for the game. The current Lakers are also last in the Western Conference, and the Pistons are third in the Eastern Conference after the Magic and Heat. In the third game between the Kings and SuperSonics, we are not sure. It all depends on whose three-pointer on both sides.

Casting is more accurate.

But when the Magic came up, they gave everyone a loud slap in the face. 105-100, the Magic actually lost.

Before playing the Magic, the Hawks had already lost 15 games in a row, and basically half of them were defeats. They were beaten to the point where they were completely unable to take care of themselves. The 15-game losing streak was also the longest losing streak this season. And they just lost another game some time ago.

With the team's core player "Fat Tou Tuo" Walker, the team has made it clear that they are giving up on this season.

Although the Hawks have lost 15 games in a row, everyone knows that he cannot keep losing. Even if he starts to lose, sooner or later he will start and win, depending on who he meets. And according to the conservation of character

According to the law, he can win against anyone, even strong and stable teams like the Spurs and Pistons.

But no one expected that the final battle for the Eagles' fortunes would turn on Magic.

In fact, this is inevitable. The Magic players are still too young and mentally immature. When there were more than 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Eagles relied on Harrington's three-pointer to score 90-90.

After the score was overtaken by 89, the Magic players immediately became weak, and Josh's calves were shaking. You can't afford to lose this kind of game.

The players were so confused that although Edison quickly called a timeout, cheered the players, and then replaced Hill and Marion, allowing the most experienced veterans in the team to play. But there was still no way, and even Nash panicked.

, and finally began to make inexplicable mistakes.

Compared to the panic of the Magic players, the Hawks players were extremely calm.

The last five offenses all took 24 seconds and were scored steadily. The last four free throws were all made, giving the Magic no chance to come back.

There was nothing Edison could do about this game. The players were too young, their mentality was unbalanced at the last moment, and their strength could not be fully displayed. Even the gods could not do anything.

The Magic lost, but the Pistons did not give the Lakers a chance to upset them. They took away the victory from Staples 88-94.

And these two games also told the world that although the Magic have the best record now, they still have a long way to go in the future.

The game between the SuperSonics and the Kings was indeed a three-point battle, but in the end, the SuperSonics, with the two guns of Ray Allen and Lewis, had the last laugh, defeating the Kings 114-118.

------------segmentation----

First of all, the impression of a single female protagonist has emerged. What are you waiting for?

The second recommendation is the book "The Magic Tower of Midfield". This book is the motivation that supports me to continue writing, and the setting is quite interesting.
