Everyone in the commentary box is a spectator. As the saying goes, "Those who watch the excitement are not afraid of big troubles, and they don't have back pain when they stand and talk." Naturally, they can scold them as much as they want, praise them as much as they want, or say whatever they want.
If you can't talk about the casual chapters, looking for a prequel can be considered as a way to liven up the atmosphere.
But the head coaches on both sides have responsibilities. Naturally, they cannot be so relaxed. They must analyze and judge every change on the court, and then guide the team to make targeted changes.
In fact, in my opinion, many times the key to a head coach's on-the-spot command is not whether a certain tactic is reasonable or whether it can hit the opponent's weaknesses, but rather how you should have a posture to lay out the tactics.
For example, let's look at Vicky or Phil Jackson. Whether you are a die-hard Lakers fan or a Spurs fan, regardless of the success or failure of these two people, in terms of on-the-spot performance alone, they are definitely the best in the league.
.And when we watch these two people playing against each other, the most painful thing is the last minute of the game.
If the score of the two teams reaches a stalemate at the end, they will keep calling timeouts and constantly changing players. They can attack one person and defend another, and then use all the timeouts cleanly.
Make the last minute 10 minutes.[
But if we look at each ball carefully, we will find that not every timeout can be effective immediately, but because timeouts emphasize defensive enthusiasm, it is rare for a collapse to occur after a timeout.
Some people may have said that since pausing is not useful every time, why do we still need to pause?
I personally think it is mainly to interrupt the opponent's rhythm and improve the confidence of one's own players. Interrupting the opponent's rhythm is easy to understand, so I won't go into details here. As for improving one's own players' confidence, it's actually very simple if you think about it carefully.
.
When the coach calls a timeout, there must be a problem on the court. The players can't guard the opponent, or can't attack, and they have no way to defeat the opponent. At this time, the players' mentality has already gone up and down. Although they don't say it,
Many people have begun to doubt themselves, especially those role players who no longer dare to move.
It can be said that at this moment, when the official players are least confident, the coach pauses and the subtext is, "Look, guys, I have already thought of a way to kill my opponent. As long as you do what I say, you can win." Very quickly.
It is easy to re-stabilize the morale of the army.
And now the Bulls' Scott Skiles finally couldn't help but call timeout again after pulling his hair continuously for half a minute.
"He might have to replace Ben Gordon." Thibodeau whispered to Edison the first time Skiles called a timeout.
"No matter how he changes, we will stay the same to cope with all changes." Edison glanced at the other side and replied firmly to Thibodeau.
"Okay guys, everyone did a good job just now, but remember, the game has just begun and we will continue to play for 40 minutes, so don't take it lightly. The Bulls' shooting percentage from outside has been bad just now, so they may
Change the offensive method. Regardless of whether Gordon plays or not, they may strengthen their breakthroughs, so Howard and Iguodala, you two must pay attention to protecting the basket. Roy did a good job just now, so as long as the opponent defends you
If the intensity has not changed, then we will still hit you at this point. You don’t have to worry about your physical fitness. After 2 minutes, I will replace you and let you rest. You have to seize the opportunity and hit them as hard as possible..."
The timeout soon ended and the two sides returned to the court again. As expected, the Bulls' Skiles was replaced by Ben Gordon. But to everyone's expectation, Skiles was replaced not by Hinrich or Duhon, but by Ben Gordon.
Small forward Nocioni moved Ben Gordon up front.
"Scales has already started betting." Steve Kerr said with excitement and frustration.
"Well, the gap in strength between the two teams is too obvious. The Magic can suppress their opponents in almost every matchup. Now they can only use surprise troops. We place our hope on the outside twin stars of Ben Gordon and Hinrich.
A sudden explosion, taking the Magic by surprise. This is now the Bulls' only hope for a comeback, and these two people are the only ones they can rely on." Kevin Harlan also agreed with Steve Kerr's view.
After Edison saw the Bulls' arrangement, he turned around and said to Eton LaVine on his coaching bench, "Look, this is naked contempt for Iguodala's offensive ability. They are so sure.
We won't let Iguodala attack? Eaton, please develop Iguodala's offensive ability this summer. His scoring this season is lower than last season. We can't let him become the team's offensive shortcoming."
"Well, I understand. But Iguodala's problem is not technical. His basic skills are much better than last season, and his shooting percentage in training is also very impressive. But once he gets on the court, he is unwilling to take action.
I don’t take the initiative to ask for the ball during offense, I think this is more of a psychological problem.”
After hearing Eaton Lavin's answer, Edison remained silent and noncommittal.
But the golf course is still going on in an orderly manner.
The Bulls replaced Nocioni with Ben Gordon. This substitution itself did not mean to strengthen defense, but simply to improve scoring ability. So although Hinrich's defensive enthusiasm has increased to a higher level, Roy is still
There is no solution on the court. He made sudden shots and scored 4 points in a row.
But on the other hand, Ben Gordon's appearance did not improve the Bulls' offensive efficiency. The reason is simple. The name of the player opposite Ben Gordon is Iguodala.
Originally, Iguodala was guarding Nocioni. This Argentine is a very good team player. His independent offensive ability is not good, but he is very capable of coordination, running, screening and cutting, and he is very determined in counterattack.
The speed is not fast. So this player is very similar to Gallinari now. He is not very good at three-pointers, but he has made a name for himself with his superb golf intelligence and fearless spirit.[
We can't say that this kind of player is bad, but asking Iguodala to defend him is a bit like using a cannon to shoot mosquitoes.
Now replaced by Ben Gordon, Iguodala's solo defense ability was immediately revealed.
Compared with Iguodala, Ben Gordon's speed, strength and other hardware are not superior. The only thing he can rely on is the number of shots that hardly require adjustment. But Iguodala is 10 centimeters taller than him, and his height is
The absolute advantage allows him to affect Ben Gordon as soon as he raises his hand, which offsets his advantage in shooting speed.
The final result is that Skiles' timeout and substitutions did not have any effect. The Magic still expanded the score a little bit, and their dominance of the court became more and more obvious. Basically, they only watched 2 rounds.
Fans can see that the Bull has been severely suppressed.
The Bulls are trying their best every time they attack now, while the Magic are taking it easy. This is a waxing and waning trend, a process from quantitative change to qualitative change. Everyone knows that if this continues, maybe the next attack, maybe
In the next minute, the bulls may enter a crash.
But at the moment when every Bulls fan was on tenterhooks, Edison replaced Roy as if he was sacrificing his martial arts skills.
"Edison's substitution is not a very appropriate time. If Roy can persist a little longer, the tone of this game may be completely set. Moreover, he replaced Tony Allen, which is to strengthen defense.
signal, but I really don’t understand why we need to strengthen our defense. He can kill the bull in one wave and simplify the game." Albert, the groom, shook his head and commented in a vague way, while the people around him
Two colleagues also nodded in agreement.
Compared with everyone's confusion, the Bulls were relieved. Without Roy, Duhong locked up Nash. Even if he still couldn't get in, the game would just re-enter the stalemate stage.
Everyone thinks there is something wrong with Edison's substitution, but Thibodeau supports him because this substitution strengthens defense. As long as it can strengthen defense, Thibodeau supports it.
However, the rest of the game did not turn into a stalemate as everyone thought.
"Brand relied on beating Chandler. He turned around, fired up Chandler, and succeeded in a layup."
"Brand is here again. This time he stepped directly from the free throw line and hit a shot. He has hit 3 goals in a row. The Magic's shooting rate in this quarter is as high as 88%. Both Roy and Brand are shooting the same way.
It's really scary. The Bulls can't do anything about it."
Brand's sudden outburst ensured the continuation of the Magic's offense, and the point difference was widened to more than 10 points in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, just when the Bulls were desperately trying to counterattack, Edison sent out Josh Smith again and began to bombard the Bulls with speed and athleticism.
As a result, Josh Smith, who had been holding back for a long time, made fast breaks and blocked shots, dominating both sides of the court by himself. The Magic rode on the neck and fucked the Bulls hard again, and the score directly opened to 18 points.
Then Nash, Howard and others were replaced, and Roy came on again to serve as the team's offensive arrow.
At the final intermission, 65-48, the Magic entered the second half with a 17-point advantage.
At the beginning of the second half, Ben Gordon made two consecutive three-pointers, which once gave the away fans hope, but then he missed all 4 shots and the Magic took the opportunity to open the score again.
By the end of the third quarter, the Magic's advantage had reached 20 points.
So at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Edison boldly used an all-substitute lineup, but the impatient Bulls still failed to seize the opportunity and failed to effectively close the score.
In the end, the Magic beat the Bulls 124-99 at home.
"With two big wins at home, the strength gap between the Magic and the Bulls has been fully demonstrated. After returning to Chicago, it will be great if the Bulls can guarantee a victory." Although Steve Kerr was a legendary participant in the Bulls that year
However, he made a fair comment at this time.[
The Magic did not let his prediction fail, winning two consecutive away games. With a big score of 4-0, they easily advanced to the second round of the playoffs.
The only regret in this process is that in the selection of regular season awards, the Magic Particles were eliminated.
The best coach is naturally Sanders, who led the Pistons to the league's first record. This is also the one who has the least suspense in this year's selection.
The Rookie of the Year was taken away by Paul, and the gap between Roy and him was only 2 votes. The regular season MVP was Nowitzki, who had become an independent player and had begun to solve problems. There was no way, although the Pistons were ranked first in the regular season, but who let him
They couldn't come up with a core figure, and the Spurs' Duncan had no new ideas.
The best defensive player is Ben. Although Duncan and Garnett are also excellent, Ben still deserves it. Of course, Ben also entered the best defensive team. The other four people are Bowen and Kirilian.
Kobe, Artest, Kobe and Kidd. The second team is: Duncan, Garnett, Camby, Prince and Billups, none of whom are Magic players.
The best team is O'Neal, James, Nowitzki, Kobe and Nash. And this is also the only one left in the Magic's important selection this year.
Although no one won the award, the Magic's mentality was very peaceful. They were actively preparing for the game and were waiting for the Heat to defeat their opponents 4-1 and then play against themselves in the second round.
In fact, if Riley hadn't missed the third game because he attended his mother's funeral, and the Pacers stole one game, they would have swept 4-0 to advance.
The Heat did not make the Magic wait any longer. As expected, they defeated their opponent 4-1 and met the Magic in the second round.
