After the Nuggets' Boykins was restricted, the other substitutes were completely inadequate.
Nuggets coach Bzdelik had no choice but to reduce the rest time of the main players and let Camby, Anthony, Miller and others play early.
"The Magic's bench played very well. Hill, Diaw, and Martin are like the three legs of a trophy, steadily supporting the Magic's offense. All three of them are players who can shoot suddenly and run in and out.
Very active, even if the Nuggets are on the main team, there is nothing they can do against the three of them. Coupled with Varejao and Tony Allen, two players who are willing to focus on defense, one inside and one outside, the Magic's bench lineup is offensive and defensive.
Quite balanced. Originally we thought that Edison sent out a full substitute lineup because he wanted to adjust the lineup and select more suitable players. But now it seems that he arranged it this way deliberately, and he has confidence in his substitute lineup. But then again
"The Magic's set of substitutes is really good and they can definitely compete in the playoffs in the Eastern Conference." Marv Albert lamented the richness of the Magic's lineup.
"Indeed, I hadn't noticed before. After Hill came back today, I suddenly discovered that the Magic players are very good. However, after careful analysis, except for Hill and Juwan Howard, all the Magic players are now Paul Edison.
I got them later. Especially these 6 rookies. Everyone thought they were crazy at first, but now I see that these newcomers are very useful. They have talent, strength and potential. Although they are all young, they are very good at recruiting.
Can fight. Edison's vision is so vicious, I think we can call Edison "Golden Eye" in the future." Steve Cole also began to agree. But what he didn't expect was that after he said it casually, Edison would really
It was nicknamed "Golden Eye".
At the end of the third quarter of the game, the Magic were 77-70, just ahead by double digits.
"In the last quarter of the game, everyone must concentrate, especially on Anthony's defense. He is the best fourth quarter player in the league. I don't want it to appear in the newspapers the next day that we are leading by 10 points and then be overturned.
situation. Marion, do you understand? You must follow him tightly and don't give him any space. If you can't, foul immediately and you must be ruthless. Anthony is a master of creating 2+1, don't give him a chance.
"
After the start of the fourth quarter, both sides gradually replaced their main players.
"Grant, how are you feeling? Do you have any special feeling in your knee?" Edison enthusiastically asked Hill after the game.
"It's not bad. In fact, coach, I think there's nothing wrong with my body and my physical fitness is also very good. I can play for a while." Hill said while wiping sweat with a towel and pointing to the court.
"Forget it, you are still in the recovery period. You played nearly 18 minutes today, which I already feel is a bit too much. Don't be too impatient. Let's slowly adapt to the feeling of the game. Your task now is to watch the game here and cheer them on.
."
The Nuggets were very strong in the fourth quarter. On the offensive end, Anthony is a typical big-game player. The more critical moments he gets, the more excited he gets and the hotter he feels. In the first three quarters, his three-point shooting percentage may have been only 30%, but by the fourth quarter
It soared to more than 40% in the quarter, and even reached 60% in the last shot. And Anthony likes to take over in the 4th quarter. He knows very well that the team needs him to score in the end, so he will take over without hesitation at the end.
Plenty of shooting opportunities. There will never be a situation like James where in the fourth quarter, he dare not take a shot, whether he can shoot or not, whether he can burst or not, hesitant and timid.
The same goes for defense. Although the Nuggets' defense was very sloppy in the first three quarters, they were more attentive in the last quarter. Of course, although their defensive enthusiasm has improved, they have no choice but not enough defensive IQ, and they have barely changed from a funnel to a colander.
.….
Because they were lagging behind, the Nuggets were united and had a clear goal, which was to let Anthony play in isolation. So everyone moved apart to give Anthony space.
Facing Marion, Anthony still had his signature smile on his face. Maybe you don't like Anthony, but you can't deny that Anthony's appearance is definitely top-notch in the NBA.
Anthony assumed a triple-threat posture, while Marion was staring at Anthony with all his attention, one hand constantly waving in front of his eyes. It is said that when Anthony first entered the league, his eyes were often touched. After a season,
He understood things through experience. So he stopped to stabilize his rhythm, then fiercely swept the ball with the ball, forcing Marion back, and used his arms to create space for himself.
Then he took the ball and made a step. Most of Anthony's countless offensive routines started with a step, and his step was simply impossible to prevent. His step was very fast, with a quick kick and a quick recovery.
.Because he steps very quickly, if the defensive player is inexperienced, he may think that he is going to break through and will retreat. Then Anthony will directly move forward when he gets the space. If he steps back after probing, and the defensive player follows.
Come back and stick to him, then he will dribble and hit the basket. Anthony's first step to break through is very fast. If there is no buffer space, no one can react.
Although Marion has a lot of defensive experience and has played in the league for 7 or 8 years, there is still nothing he can do against Anthony. At the beginning of the 4th quarter, Anthony scored 4 points with sudden shots, and also gave the big man inside
Forward Nene sent a wonderful pass.
Although Anthony performed well, instead of getting closer, the score was pulled apart.
Because now the Nuggets are guarding Nash. Boykins, who is 165cm, is guarding Nash, who is 191cm. The result is that Nash can finally bully others with his body. This kind of opportunity is too rare for Nash. After one year
How many times should I miss it?
So three times in a row, Nash deliberately bumped Boykins with his body after dribbling the ball, pushed him away, and then shot a jumper directly. In fact, Nash didn't need any previous preparations. Boykins just stood in front of Nash.
There's nothing you can do about his jump shot, but Nash just enjoys knocking people away.
Although Nash doesn't score many points, rarely scoring more than 20 points, usually around 13 points, his shooting percentage is very high, and he maintains a shooting percentage of more than 50% all year round. This shooting percentage is very scary, everyone
Look at Durant now, the top scorer in the league. His shooting is hard to guard against, but his shooting percentage has never reached 50%, which is about 49%. Like Kobe, it is only about 45%. But
The only people in the league who have a higher shooting percentage than Nash are inside centers like O'Neal who purely attack at the basket.
Originally, Nash's shooting was accurate, but now that Boykins is guarding him, it is equivalent to completely letting Nash shoot. The most important thing is that this is not a pure open space. There is Boykins in front of Nash, so Nash shoots even more.
nature.
In fact, when you look at the situation where the NBA's outside shooting rate is the highest, it is not a pure open space that no one is guarding in front of you within 2 seconds. Because in this case, the focus of the audience and players will be on you.
Everyone thinks that you should be able to make the shot, you must make the shot. Everyone thinks that if you can't even make the shot, it's really shameful. So in this case, the players will be particularly stressed when shooting.
, if the endurance is relatively weak, he will not be able to make the shot. This is what everyone often says, if no one is guarding, he will not know how to make the shot.
Therefore, the most comfortable thing for outside shooters is that when you are out of space, your hand is raised, and the defensive player pounces from 3 meters away. From the actual effect, the defensive player's movements have no effect on you at all, but you have
There is a sense of urgency, the psychological pressure at that moment is reduced, and the action becomes smoother and more natural...
Now Nash is also in this state. There is no obstruction for Nash's jump shot, but there is Boykins jumping up and down in front of him, pretending to defend himself. So Nash's movements are particularly stretched, and his hand movements are special.
Soft, the arc of the ball was extremely high, and he made two consecutive three-pointers and a mid-range shot.
Nash's consecutive scoring made Bzdelik of the Nuggets quite frustrated, but Bzdelik couldn't think of any good way to ask Boykins to guard Iguodala? Isn't that the same? In the end, he thought again and again.
, decided to replace Boykins, replace Buckner again, let Andre Miller guard Nash, and restore the game to the state of the first quarter.
"Bzdelik finally figured it out. In fact, he should have replaced Boykins a long time ago. Boykins is not a good player. Although he scores well, he is not a regular player. As a substitute
With his sharp knife, he can play a certain surprise role and disrupt the opponent's rhythm. However, in the critical fourth quarter, his defensive holes are too big. We say that other people's defense is poor and cannot be defended alone, such as Nash of the Magic.
But at least Nash can play half a role in defense, and Boykins is almost invisible. Playing him is almost equivalent to 4 defense and 5 defense. If you face a weak team and the opponent's defense is not good, then you
You can send Boykins to compete with the opponent in scoring. But not the Magic. Although the Magic concede a lot of points per game, their defensive efficiency is very high. In this case, it would be unreasonable for you to use Boykins to score points.
So it was a very correct decision for Bzdelik to replace Boykins." Steve Kerr was particularly unhappy when he saw Nash shooting easily in front of Boykins. You must know that it took him nine years to make a shot.
With the strength of the two tigers, they can't wait to circle the three-point line three times. Now that Boykins has gone, Nash can no longer score easily. Cole's heart is balanced, so he praises Bzdelik.
However, there was no big turnaround in the game, and the two teams were once again evenly matched. The Nuggets' Camby and Nene were taller, but the Magic's Howard and Josh were faster, and the four big men's arms were stretched.
With their arms and legs crossed, they turned the basketball court into a wrestling arena. Marion and Anthony also had their arms around each other. From time to time, you would give me an elbow and I would pinch you.
Compared with the competition among these 6 people, the 4 on the outside are more polite. There is no particularly big physical contact, but the intrigues are all pretending to be casual at first, and then suddenly speeding up and running.
The main strength of the two teams is evenly matched. The Magic use overall tactics, cooperate tacitly, and work together; while the Nuggets rely on superstars. Anthony can score and connect in series, and the whole team revolves around him.
But after all, the Magic had a 10-point lead before. In the end, the Magic won 108-100 at home.
In this game, Nash once again sent out 11 assists and scored 25 points. This score was his season high, so he was elected as the MVP of this game.
Hill, who returned, also scored 11 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.
