In the arena, no one will sympathize with you or pity you. The rule here is "Kill you while you are sick."
After the start of the third quarter, although the Hornets' Davis came on the court, it was probably because someone acted as peacemaker during the halftime break. But he was still very unhappy, and he was full of anger.
Edison saw this and did not let Iguodala play again, but replaced Tony Allen. Before Tony Allen came on the court, Edison whispered to him and gave him a special task.
As soon as Tony Allen came on the court, he found Baron Davis and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "What, your coach thinks you're not good?"
Davis glanced at him and said nothing.
"But our head coach feels that you are really not good at it. Look at you, you only scored 4 points in the first quarter, and you were like a mouse being guarded by our Iguodala. It makes sense for Scott to replace you...
..." Tony Allen spitted trash at Davis, and the spittle got onto Davis' beard.
For any excellent defensive player, his defense is three-dimensional, from his feet, to his waist, to his face, to his ears, and finally his hands and jersey.
The feet are easy to understand and block the position; the defense of the waist refers more to the pushing and shoving between players; the face is the common blindfold; the ears are trash talk to harass the opponent; the hands are to steal the ball and block shots; the jersey is various
A small action.
Many people don't pay attention to trash talk, but in fact trash talk is really useful. If you say something during offense, if the opponent starts to answer, you can take advantage of his distraction to break through and shoot. On defense, you can stir up the opponent's emotions and make him lose it.
If you have an ordinary mind and an unbalanced mentality, you will be prone to impulsive attacks and not follow the rules. At the worst, you can yell when others are shooting to scare them. Of course, in a game like the NBA, when others are shooting
Not only is it easy to scare people, but it is also very embarrassing, and most people will not use it.
When you use trash talk to stimulate your opponent, there are generally three possibilities: first, the opponent is stimulated and becomes more motivated; second, the opponent loses his cool and stops playing according to tactics; third, he takes action directly.
Davis himself was in a bad mood and was upset. Listening to all kinds of nonsense from Tony Allen, he became more and more annoyed. So he started to attack forcefully and tried to take over the game by himself.
It is undeniable that Davis's personal ability is really strong. When he commits chaos, most people really can't stop him. Although Tony Allen tried his best to defend and stalked him, Davis
He still continues to score points with his super personal abilities.
"Baron Davis got the ball again, and our Tony Allen came over to defend. Davis broke through, made a pull-up jumper, and scored."
"Davis got the ball from outside the three-point line, made a direct three-pointer, and still scored. Tony Allen had already blocked the ball in his face, but Davis's touch was so good that there was nothing he could do. Our Edison is now
We need to find a way to limit Davis as soon as possible, otherwise it is not a good sign to let him keep scoring like this."
The magic commentator was worried, but Edison was confident.
The rhythm of the game is still in the hands of the Magic, and the Magic are overwhelming the Hornets in terms of momentum. Although Davis has a strong scoring momentum during this period, the Magic are also scoring, and the score gap has not been significantly shortened.
Yes, Davis, your hand feels hot now, but can you guarantee that this feeling will continue throughout the game? Impossible, sooner or later your shooting percentage will drop. But so far, it has been 5 consecutive times.
The other players in the Hornets didn't catch the ball very much. They were all watching Davis. Their hands were so cold after not touching the ball for so long. When Davis couldn't score anymore, they would have to start again.
Look for the touch, and the score will be wide open when the time comes....
There is a saying to sum up World War II, "The better Rommel fights in North Africa, the greater the pressure on Germany as a whole." Now Davis is the same. The better you fight personally, the more disadvantageous the game will be to the Hornets.
If it were a head coach with a keen sense like Phil Jackson, Larry Brown or Popovich, he would definitely request a timeout and ask Davis to stop playing alone and do a good job of organizing and connecting the whole team.
But Scott is not them. Scott is a player. Judging from his career by NBA standards, Scott can be regarded as a star, but he is still far from a superstar. Therefore, looking at his coaching history, he obviously
I tend to allow players and stars to play more freely within my tactical framework. Especially for superstars, he subconsciously feels that he has to trust them. If they perform well, they can handle a game by themselves, just like I did back then.
His teammates Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic, and later his subordinate Jason Kidd.
So he didn't make any changes, but instead let other players open up, giving Davis space and letting him play one-on-one.
In fact, Tony Allen was a little panicked now. He used words to stimulate Davis according to the coach's instructions, but why did he get more and more energetic? Was it because the trash talk had the opposite effect? So he turned his attention to Edison, trying to find the answer.
Edison nodded to him and made a "goon" mouth sign.
So the first half of the third quarter was completely Davis's personal performance. Except for occasionally Wesley could catch his breakthrough shot in the open space and shoot, and Magloire grabbed a rebound and launched a second offense. The Hornets
Others became completely spectators.
But the Magic still continue the team's tactics of playing fast, passing more and running more. As long as you run out of space, Nash will put the ball in your hands and make more flowers. The score between the two sides has always been about 7 points.
.
But soon, the turning point of the game appeared.
Once, after Davis forced a break through Tony Allen, he tried to force a dunk. Howard, who was under the Magic basket, saw that you dare to act wild on my territory, so he dribbled the ball and directly pressed it down. Howard made Davis
He completely lost his balance in the air, which meant that he had excellent physical fitness and flexibility. He twisted his body and converted into a throw. Then he fell directly to the ground, but unfortunately the throw still missed. However, it still caused Howard's injury.
foul.
But the fall was not light. Although there was no bone or muscle contusion, Davis also felt that his right hand was a little numb. The numbness was followed by burning pain.
As a result, he made 1 of 2 free throws, and then he couldn't find his touch in the next offense, and the basket was gone.
The Magic took the opportunity to score two goals in a row, pushing the score to more than 10 points.
At this time, Scott would also notice that something was wrong with Davis. He estimated that he had fallen badly just now, so he quickly called a timeout.
Although Davis was no longer so alone after the timeout and began to organize the offense, as mentioned above, he started passing the ball, but others had no touch. After the Hornets played for three consecutive rounds, the Magic played
There was a 6-0 spurt, 81-65, and the Magic led by 15 points.
Edison looked at the time and it was almost time. The old rule is that the end of the third quarter is the time for the substitutes to come on, so he waved his hand and Diaw, Martin and others came on stage one after another.
For the Hornets, Davis didn't play much in the second quarter and was relatively full of energy, so Scott didn't replace him and let him and the substitutes compete against the Magic.
At the end of the third quarter, 90-79, the Hornets narrowed the score to about 10 points again, leaving suspense in the fourth quarter.
"In the last quarter, our tactics are like this. If Davis comes on the court, then Diaw and you guys can play normally. Don't pay special attention to the score being narrowed. It doesn't matter. We still have a 10-point lead. If Davis comes off the court to rest, then
We just pressed the whole court. I think Scott would let Davis rest for two minutes and let Armstrong play point guard. He was already 36 and it would be too much to press him.”….
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, just as Edison expected, Davis did not play, so the Magic's substitutes immediately launched a full-court press.
In fact, the full-court press is a defensive gamble. If successful, you will get a lot of easy layup opportunities, but if not, it will waste a lot of energy.
But Edison is very confident in the full-court press, because to break the full-court press, the opponent's point guard must run out of space to catch the ball. But one of the Hornets' two backup point guards is Armstrong, who is 36 years old. What do you think?
His old arms and legs can outrun Iguodala and Martin.
The other is Jr. Smith. His health is fine, but with his age and experience, can he stay awake to break the press and lead the team in offense?
To take a step back, it doesn't matter if it doesn't succeed. Our players are all young and have plenty of physical strength.
Sure enough, the Hornets did not expect the Magic to use a full-court press, and were not used to it. First, Armstrong was intercepted, and Iguodala succeeded in a layup. Then Smith was forced into the corner by Martin and Wallace, causing him to step on the line.
After the Magic served, Diaw hit a mid-range shot, and the score was once again stretched to 15 points.
When Scott saw no alternative, he had no choice but to let Davis go into battle again.
A full-court press by a point guard with Davis's ability would basically have no effect on him, except to slightly slow down his half-court advancement, so the Magic's defense returned to normal.
So far, Scott has been completely led by Edison, and is completely at a disadvantage in predicting the situation on the court. This does not mean that Edison is so good. Being able to calculate is like reincarnation. The key is to have good personnel configuration.
Well, as long as they are not like Brown of the Lakers, most people can win with their eyes closed.
In addition, if the Lakers want to win the championship this year, they must expect two things to happen: 1. LeBron dies; 2. LeBron is strangled.
Although Davis once again had a small outburst in the middle of the fourth quarter, he was helpless with two fists, and the Hornets were beaten to death by the Magic.
The final score was 118-105. The Magic won their first home victory, winning 2 consecutive games in the regular season and handing the Hornets two consecutive losses.
In this game, Davis scored a game-high 36 points, and Mickey Mouse Wesley also scored 20 points. However, the Magic's side was red across the board. Nash had 16 points and 12 assists, and Josh only scored 15 points and 6 assists in shortened playing time.
rebounds, and Uncle Huo who replaced him in the starting lineup easily scored 16 points. Howard, Marion, Diaw, Martin and others also scored in double figures. Although no one scored 20 points, the Magic scored in double figures with 7 people.
It's relatively easy to win.
"What do you think of Davis' performance today?"
"He played very well. My players were well guarded, but he was still able to use various methods to get the ball into the basket, which made my team suffer a lot." As soon as the game ended here,
Reporters rushed into the field and chased the players and coaches. Edison now had three microphones in front of him. Of course, he was not the worst. Davis, who was voted the best in the game, was surrounded by two circles of people. Edison's visual inspection was close to
Ten media.
There is no way anyone could make him the center of attention on and off the court today. Whether it was his 36 points or his quarrel with Scott, it was on the front page. If not, who would be around you?
At this time, Howard came to Edison and said to him, "Coach, look, that beautiful reporter is here."
Edison looked in the direction of his finger and his face sank, "Go back to the locker room quickly, otherwise he will compare you with Okafor again."
After returning to the locker room, Edison solemnly warned every player that they would play against the Bobcats tomorrow and be honest tonight. If anyone is low on energy the next day because of too many activities at night, then don't blame me for being unkind at night.
