"Damn it." He glanced at the basketball flying out of the baseline. Adrian shook his arms and shouted: "Xida, calm down, don't panic, just do it like you did during training."
Hida Turkoglu stretched out his hand with a look of frustration, indicating that it was his fault. The passing error just now was indeed Hida Turkoglu's fault. He passed the ball too high. Adrian
You have to have Yao Ming's height and a jump that does not fade to be able to catch it. As for in the real world, Adrian has no way to pass that high and floating pass.
Affected by the curse rumors, Hida Turkoglu seemed to be completely out of shape. Before the first quarter was over, Hida Turkoglu had already made three mistakes. Today his pass was either short or passed. If
It's not that Adrian's physical fitness is good enough, he has caught some passes that are difficult for others to catch. I'm afraid Turkoglu has made more than three mistakes. But even so, many good offensive opportunities,
It was wasted in Turkoglu's pass that was either too fast or too slow, too much or not enough.
The key is... Turkoglu's frequent mistakes finally began to affect others. Van Wever, who came on as a substitute, hit a bridge three-pointer in his first shot. Then he was directly intercepted by Billups during the breakthrough.
The ball was successfully hit on a fast break that was extremely rare for the Pistons.
Lewis was banging the iron, and on the defensive end he was completely unable to guard against the roaring king Rasheed Wallace.[
"Bang..." Adrian's pass hit the floor and flew directly out of the baseline. Turkoglu was right next to the passing route. But when he noticed Adrian's pass, he could no longer catch it.
It's time to pass the ball.
Throughout the first half, there was an extremely weird atmosphere permeating the Orlando Magic team, as if everyone was worried that they would make a mistake at any time, but no matter how worried they were, no matter how vigilant they were, mistakes were like a demon that haunted the Magic.
Just like that, the Magic team didn't even have a chance to breathe for a moment.
Magic fans almost suspected that there was something wrong with their eyes. Is this still the Magic they know? Is this still the Magic with sharp offense, gorgeous play, and smoothness like mercury? They can't bear it.
They looked at each other in confusion. Are these guys who are giving the worst performances on the court really the Magic stars that they have always supported?
At 34:51, the Orlando Magic were beaten by the Detroit Pistons by 17 points in the half at home. You must know that the Detroit Pistons are not a strong offensive team. They have always relied on their solid defense to survive at the forefront of the league.
It may not be very difficult to recover .17 points from other teams, but it is undoubtedly very difficult to recover from the Pistons.
When the midfield whistle sounded, Stan Van Gundy stood up with a livid face and ignored the reporters who wanted to interview him. He walked directly into the locker room.
During the halftime break, the usual laughter and laughter disappeared completely, and a strange silence filled the locker room. Stan Van Gundy waited for all the players to return to the locker room with a tigerish face, but when they were all seated
He came down and looked at these players who looked disappointed, but he didn't know what to say.
"We can't continue like this. Ed, we have to find a way to cheer them up. If this state continues, the game will be unplayable." Stan Van Gundy pulled Adrian to the corner, although Adrien was on the court.
Adrian's performance is also very abnormal, but now the only person Stan Van Gundy can trust is Adrian.
Adrian was a little hesitant. To be honest, he didn't know how he should solve this situation. He had to adopt a dismissive attitude to attack Turkoglu's superstitious belief in the 'curse'.
Derian didn't have the confidence to do that in the first place, and it was very polite to casually comment on other people's beliefs.
Even after 9/11, the United States had a strict and different vigilance against Muslims around the world, whether they were good or bad, whether they had terrorist tendencies or not. But at least on the surface, they had never made any reservations about Muslims.
No matter what special move comes, mosques are still built all over the United States.
What's more, the Magic's current problem is no longer limited to Turkoglu. It has spread from Turkoglu. This superstitious and panic atmosphere has spread throughout the Magic team.
"I don't have any good ideas." Adrian said hesitantly: "Otherwise, let's try to replace Turkoglu first. His condition... is really not suitable to continue the game."
In this situation, Stan Van Gundy really can't come up with any good solutions. He is not a head coach who is very good at adjusting the players' mentality. The panic caused by the curse has been rampant throughout the Magic team. Although Stan Van Gundy
In the second half, he listened to Adrian's advice and replaced Turkoglu, who made frequent mistakes, but this panic has infected the hearts of every player on the Magic team.
At 74:92, the Magic lost. They lost the first game of the second round at their home court. The loss was extremely depressing. The highest scorer on the team was Rashard Lewis, but he only scored 16 points.
Not to mention that his shooting percentage was only 36%, which was completely unqualified, and he was also slapped in the face by his opponent Rasheed Wallace for three hot blocks.
However, even though they lost the game, there were not many disappointed or sad looks on the faces of the Magic players. Instead, they mostly looked like they were relieved.
If the game is lost, the curse will end.
"Hey, man, how did you get past the first round? Are the Raptors that weak?"
Adrian was already very angry about such a depressing game, but at this moment Billups came over to challenge him with a proud look on his face. Adrian immediately said angrily: "This game is for
Yours, so as not to make your loss too ugly. In this series, the only thing you can win is this one game!"
"Really, then I'm really grateful." Chauncey Billups shook his head indifferently. Anyway, they won the game. In response to the unwilling barking of the losing dog, Chauncey Billups
You can show your forgiveness with a big belly.
"Don't forget, except for the Suns, who were eliminated by the Spurs, who were also cursed, all the other cursed teams successfully advanced. I don't think the Pistons have the ability to break the curse." Adrian glanced sideways.
Billups said for a while: "Now it's your turn to bear the curse." (To be continued.) [
