Stan Van Gundy can't find any reason why the Magic will be beaten. In his established thinking, the Magic are one of the three strongest teams in the Eastern Conference, and the Knicks are just this year's dark horse. They finally made it to the playoffs.
Game, they managed to get sixth place with great difficulty. According to the normal script, they should be quickly defeated by the third place in the Eastern Conference. Why...suddenly, they rode on top of us and showed off their power, extremely arrogant?
If the reason for the last game was that Yang Mo suddenly became stronger and disrupted the Magic team's plan, then... they have no excuse for this game. The only reason is that their skills are inferior to others, or... they can't keep up technically and tactically.
Get on the other side's rhythm.
Although the Knicks are inferior in terms of strength, in terms of mental level and technical and tactical layout, the Knicks have always been ahead and lead the rhythm of the game. The most important thing is that the Magic players are far inferior in executing tactics.
The Knicks, everyone in the Knicks is closely united around Yang Mo. Yang Mo said that if they go east, they will never go west. The Magic are obviously far behind in terms of execution, except that the head coach is a little confused about the situation.
In addition, their point guard is simply a headless fly, only buzzing around, and his fit with the team is extremely low.
Therefore, in the last minute or so of the first quarter, the Knicks once again played a small climax, which made the Magic almost unable to fight back. In the end, the lead was expanded to 17 points at the end of the first quarter.
In this regard, Stan Van Gundy was unable to do anything, and the Magic fans in the arena even sighed. They originally thought that the Magic would definitely reach the finals this year, or at least enter the Eastern Conference finals. But the reality is cruel. They were unexpectedly defeated by them.
The Knicks, who took it seriously, were defeated and helpless.
"To be honest, the Knicks are more like third in the Eastern Conference, and the Magic are sixth in the Eastern Conference. Although the Knicks' lineup does not seem to be unusual at all, they can always play precise coordination, and everyone can perform at a high level.
Performance. Like Turiaf, when he was with the Lakers, he was almost a substitute on the bench, and when he was in Golden State, he was only a rotation player. But tonight, he was almost first-class in limiting Howard. Also
Jeffries, we were still discussing that he had a garbage contract before. Now... I think when his contract expires, more than ten teams will definitely make offers to him. His adhesion on the defensive end is amazing.
More chewing gum than chewing gum." Collins couldn't help but sigh during a timeout between sections.
"Gallinani also played an example of a shooter. Although Wilt Chandler still has problems with offensive selection, since Yang learned to pass, his problem has been automatically blocked, because super-yang will help
He designed the play, and he just had to execute it, so he is becoming more and more efficient now." Barkley couldn't help but praise him.
"Indeed. Since Young learned to pass, the Knicks have become more like a whole. Everyone's strengths have been maximized, while their shortcomings have been hidden. I think this is probably why now
The Knicks seem to be the reason why the Magic are stronger." Collins nodded as he understood something.
"Do you know what the criteria for evaluating a great point guard are? It makes teammates stronger, and obviously super-yang has met this criterion. This is the real key to the Knicks' counterattack. And the Magic
So it was such a difficult game. I think besides Stan Van Gundy who is most responsible, Nelson should be next. He successfully showed us how serious the harm a bad point guard can bring to a strong team."
"You mean, super-yang can already be called a great point guard?" Collins was a little surprised by Barkley's conclusion.
"Why not? Super-yang is not only a great point guard now, he is also a great shooting guard, an excellent small forward, a power forward with excellent rebounding ability, and a center with outstanding blocking ability." Barkley shook hands.
He pointed out Yang Mo's five major advantages in succession: "Of these characteristics, ordinary people only need to do one of them to gain a foothold in the NBA. But super-yang has completed five of them, so he has naturally become the most comprehensive super player in the league today."
Superstar, I look forward to him one day hitting a triple-double, a quadruple-double, or even a five-double."
After Barkley finished speaking, Collins felt that it was a bit exaggerated, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that it made sense. Yang really had the abilities he mentioned, but... he was not as legendary as Barkley said. In some places, he
It's still an exaggeration.
While Collins and Barkley were singing and praising Yang Mo, Jeff Van Gundy, who was sitting on the other side, quickly sent two text messages to Stan Van Gundy's assistant. One text message asked Stan Van Gundy to arrange and guide Yang Mo to work near the free throw line.
The other tactic was to completely insulate Yang Mo from the other team members and let him score alone. He firmly believed that Yang Mo would always have a moment of weakness, and it was impossible for one person to defeat the entire team.
After Jeff Van Gundy sent these two text messages, he breathed a long sigh of relief. He believed that his hope of victory still existed.
At this moment, Collins suddenly murmured: "Hey, why haven't I seen Milicic play tonight? He is the only ace center of the Knicks. Do the Knicks want to play the Return of the King game again?"
Collins' murmur quickly woke up Jeff Van Gundy. He quickly stared at the monitor carefully. He looked at the Knicks bench for a long time and finally discovered that Milicic was indeed not there.
So, he quickly lowered his head and sent another text message: Be careful with Milicic, he is probably the Knicks' hidden trump card. Now you must constantly break through the penalty area and force the Knicks to play this trump card as soon as possible.
Soon, Stan Van Gundy on the sidelines received three pieces of advice from his younger brother from his assistant. He thought about it carefully and decided to implement the second and third pieces directly. He wanted to completely isolate Yang Mo from other players on the defensive end.
The contact between the players allows Yang Mo to shoot as much as he wants, and on the offensive end, he has formulated tactical regulations to constantly sprint into the penalty area. He wants to force out Milicic's trump card to avoid the tragedy like the last game happening again. He can
I don’t want to become a stepping stone for my opponent’s return of the king twice in a row.
Soon, the pause time was announced to be over.
When Yang Mo walked to the court, Dwyane Wade, who was sitting next to him, suddenly stood up and shouted to Yang Mo: "Come on, super-yang!"
When Yang Mo heard this familiar shout, he turned around subconsciously and found that it was Wade cheering for him. He was in a trance for a moment, as if he had suddenly returned to his days in Miami.
He was stunned for a while, and when the Magic team all served, he smiled slightly and expressed his goodwill.
In this smile, Dwyane Wade suddenly felt as if some of the ice had been melted.
At this time, Yang Mo had already quickly ran to the half-court to participate in the defense.
When the Magic brought the ball to the frontcourt, Nelson quickly summoned Ryan Anderson's pick-and-roll, and then he galloped all the way into the paint. Under Howard's screen, he directly ran into Turiaf's body, and Turiaf tried to block it.
But at this time, the referee had already sounded the whistle, indicating that he committed a defensive foul, and Nelson made two free throws.
When his defense was called for a foul, Turiaf seemed a little annoyed. Yang Mo comforted him in time and encouraged him to regain the field in the next round.
Boom! Whoosh!
Nelson made one of two free throws and felt a little cold.
After the Knicks served, Yang Mo slowly walked forward with the ball. He suddenly felt something was wrong in the atmosphere. He found that there was no defender around him. Five Magic players were piled up in the half court, and they kept following them there.
The Knicks players looked like they were fighting to the end, but Yang Mo seemed to have given up completely.
When Yang Mo brought the ball to the outside of the three-point line, Nelson slowly ran over and reacted defensively. When Yang Mo stopped the ball and made a passing gesture, he hurriedly flew towards the trajectory of the basketball.
A posture that only focuses on passing the ball and not shooting.
The Magic adjusted their defense like this, and Yang Mo suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. After waiting for nearly two seconds and no one came to defend him, he took action directly...Bang! The basketball actually struck gold!!
