This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 305
Raymond Felton's sudden outburst was also unexpected by the Orlando Magic. A player who almost fell out of the rotation had such a good performance in this game.

At the end of the timeout, Turkoglu and Warcraft Howard completed the alley-oop cooperation, which can be regarded as stopping the bleeding for the team.

In the first half of the game, the Orlando Magic's shooting touch did not recover, but relying on several strong attacks from inside Howard, the score did not continue to expand.

52-44, the Charlotte Bobcats ended the first half with an 8-point advantage.

At the end of the halftime game, Yu Jia came out to chatter: "After the first half of the game, although it was an away game, it was still remarkable. Both teams are three-point teams. The current Charlotte Bobcats 14 of 7, and the Orlando Magic, which also took 14 shots, only made 3 of them."

Su Qun answered: "How should I put it? Judging from the performance of the game, both teams are dominated by young players. The Charlotte Bobcats, who are younger and challenge away, look better than the Orlando Magic at home. It looks more mature, and the conduction of the ball against the defense is smoother."

Yu Jiadao: "Yes, the Bobcats have more and better opportunities here, and in this game, the Bobcats actually did not adopt the double-team defense method against Warcraft Howard. 7 of 5, plus 9 of 6 serves, got 16 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks, but for the Bobcats, this is not enough to kill the game."

Su Qun said: "Using the most basic mathematical model to calculate, after all, two three-pointers, you have to play three waves inside before you can come back."

"The proportion of the two teams on the three-point line, among the 16 teams entering the playoffs, one ranks first and the other ranks third, so in this round of the series, which side wants to win Down, it must be the team with a better three-point shot."

"It depends on how Van Gundy responds. In fact, Van Gundy has not changed much in creating offensive methods. He is like a cook who cooks dishes according to the recipe, not like D'Antoni or old Nelson. Taking a slant forward is either a god or a super ghost, and it is not like Popovich and Zen master Phil Jackson, who can raise the strength of the lineup to the peak state, but one thing is worthy of recognition. In the past few years, Pat Riley's deep tactical influence has also formed his own understanding of the defensive system. Although his ability to train offense is average, he still has his own uniqueness for the defense. This season won the best defensive player, and the magic team's points allowed has also improved from the 11th in the league last year to the 6th in the league this season, and the net difference even reached the 4th in the league."

"Even after the streetball king Alston came to the Magic, the number of steals actually reached 1.8 times. Da Fan's defensive attainments are still slightly higher than his younger brother Xiao Fan."

During the halftime break, Van Gundy also emphasized defense.

"We have the speed of movement, we have the height, and we have the best interior defender. Why did we lose 52 points in the first half? You must know that this is the Eastern Conference finals of the playoffs."

"Don't be dazzled by the victory in the last round, the opponent is a team no weaker than Lukai!"

Van Gundy is also a very passionate coach. He is a little anxious about the team's current situation, and the broadcast screen also shows this picture.

"I also hope that Van Gundy's words can arouse the fighting spirit of the Magic players. Although the fans of the Chinese team now hope that the Bobcats will win, what we look forward to more is that this is a very exciting series."

"Yes, the essence of competition is to fight against each other, and to win amid twists and turns, is the essence of competitive sports."

The first wave of offensive possessions returned to the court in the second half. From the perspective of defense, every player of the Orlando Magic, especially Ralph Alston and JJ Redick on the back line, is very important to the Bobcats. The field was very oppressive. In the first half, the Charlotte Bobcats shot 50% of the shots. On the one hand, the defense was weak, and on the other hand, it also confirmed that the Charlotte Bobcats were in good condition in this game.

Although the Bobcats have made preparations, they understand that the Orlando Magic will increase their defensive strength, but with the sudden increase in close defense and corresponding linkage measures, there are people standing next to the players in every round, and this round, The Bobcats are almost being defended for a 24 second!
"It can only be a shot! Roy, you made a three-pointer. Alstom posted it very well. This shot is a three-point shot!"

"When we were in Houston, we really never saw Alstom working so hard. I guess Yao Ming, who is also at home in Orlando, would be very puzzled. Well, you didn't play like this when you were in Houston!"

And after a successful defense, Alstom also came to the momentum, left the street, and there was less room for him to play unconstrained style, and there are not many successful cases of street players entering the NBA, but in order to enter the NBA, Alstom has also made an effort to surpass many NBA players.

Back in the Magic's offensive half, Ralph Alston faced Zhou Lin's block who was more than half a head taller than him. While speeding up his shots, he also adjusted the arc to the highest.

Swish!
Alston's three-pointer went into the net hollow!
After the shot, Alston was also quite excited, grabbing the chest of the jersey with two fingers, showing the words No. 1 on it.

And after scoring the goal, he pointed to Yao Ming's chest, as if to say something.

The Magic's No. 1 is magical.

He is Penny Hardaway, and McGrady's No. 1 who touched God!

"This is interesting!"

"Look, Alstom seems to have said something to Yao Ming? Did he mean, Yao Ming, do I look like McGrady?"

"It would be great if McGrady could watch this game, so the two most famous players with the No. 1 jersey came to the scene."

"McGrady, if he retires, it might be possible to watch this game, and he can be regarded as a star of the team, but it is unrealistic and a pity to still play in the league now. If McGrady can play in the Magic If we play for a few more years, maybe the Magic will have the possibility to retire this jersey."

"Indeed, it's not easy to retire this jersey. After all, Hardaway failed to retire this jersey. Although McGrady left his peak self in the Orlando Magic, two scoring champions, four-time All-Star, two League for a while, but the problem is that McGrady only stayed with the Magic for four years, and he didn't bring the Magic to the second round of the playoffs."

In the history of the NBA, there are too many unsatisfactory things, and McGrady, who has never broken through the first round of the curse as a main player and has never won a championship, is destined to be one of them.

Back on the court, the Orlando Magic did strengthen their defense at the beginning of the third quarter. The pressure on the players extended to the three-point line, and it was almost impossible to give the Bobcats players a good chance.

Bobcats players began to miss three-pointers one after another. It was not until 4 minutes and 27 seconds into the third quarter that the Charlotte Bobcats made the first three-pointer in the second half from Zhou Lin, a high fortress. At this moment, the Charlotte Bobcats' score advantage has been eroded by the Orlando Magic.

In fact, the reason why the Orlando Magic dared to expand their defense in this way was due to the deterrence of Warcraft Howard in the interior. In the second quarter, Howard sent out 3 blocks again, which were given to the three cores of the Charlotte Bobcats, Zhou Lin , Roy, Okafor.

However, the only thing that returned to normal was that Warcraft Howard's free throw percentage began to decline in the third quarter. In this quarter, he scored 5 free throws and only scored one.

但即便如此，打完三节比赛的魔兽霍华德，依旧是以12中8，罚球14中7得到了23分13篮板还有恐怖的五次盖帽！

At first glance, this data is completely full-court data of an All-Star inside player!

In the third quarter, the scores of both sides were not high, and the shooting percentage was average, but the number of shots taken by the Magic was 9 times more than that of the Charlotte Bobcats. In the third quarter, the Charlotte Bobcats only scored 14 points , and also the lowest scoring quarter in a single quarter of the game.

66-68, the Orlando Magic at home entered the final quarter with a leading attitude.

"What I have to say is that the rhythm of the third quarter is completely in accordance with the rhythm of the Orlando Magic. The Charlotte Bobcats need to take advantage of the break to adjust."

"Bring Felton up for a few rounds!"

"At this level of defense, Sessions can really see the limit of the ceiling."

It's a pity that Larry Brown didn't hear what the Chinese commentator said. In the fourth quarter, both point guards were put on the bench, and Zhou Lin took the point guard instead.

On the Magic side, there is no lack of preventive measures against Zhou Lin hitting the No. [-] position, and the strategy given by the Orlando Magic is that if Zhou Lin wants to shoot, I will give you the three-pointer, but you To break through and pass the ball, we will not let you do it easily.

Cutting off the connection between Zhou Lin and other players is an adjustment made by Van Gundy.

But since the start of the second half, all the Charlotte Bobcats have missed three-pointers, including Zhou Lin, and basketball has a strange magic power. Sometimes, you know that your opponent will let you shoot, but you may miss consecutive shots. This is a psychological fluctuation factor.

"It's not a good thing for the Charlotte Bobcats to continue playing like this."

"Zhou Lin is also in trouble here. The Magic team is giving Zhou Lin an outside chance. This is also a trade-off. After all, Zhou Lin's height and impact are there. After hitting the No. 1 position, the Magic team The perimeter defensive lineup here is a bit stretched, but also Zhou Lin holds too much possession of the ball, but cannot organize an effective attack, so instead of Zhou Lin playing the first position, it is a somewhat poor layout."

"I think, Zhou Lin still has to play the third position here, and give up the control of the ball. If others hold the ball, he can go for the main attack. Maybe the effect will be better. In this game, Raymond Felton played Not bad, why didn't Larry Brown let him come up in the second half?"

Su Qun was a little puzzled.

Now Larry Brown's state of mind is probably like this: the well-behaved Sessions can't be reused, but he doesn't want to use the unruly Felton.

Two minutes after Su Qun finished speaking, Larry Brown replaced Raymond Felton late. At this time, the score had been stretched to double digits.

89-78, with 3 minute and 23 seconds left in the game.

It was a little late to take Felton up to fight the fire.

"Use the hacking tactics!"

At the same time, Yi Jianlian was also replaced. After Yi Jianlian was sent, Yi Jianlian implemented Larry Brown's tactics and began to foul Dwight Howard who had poor free throws in the second half!
"Hey, you are looking down on people!" Howard, who was hugged by Yi Jianlian, looked depressed.

The referee blows the whistle!

World of Warcraft went to the free throw line!
The first penalty is there!

"I can make free throws!" Howard was already grinning, and now the Amway Center Arena is also calling for MVP.

However, Howard missed his second free throw.

"2 for 1, if the Bobcats can score quickly, then this foul is not a failure."

Sure enough, the Charlotte Bobcats counterattacked the moment they got the rebound. Raymond Felton made the ball very quickly. Zhou Lin didn't wait for the monster to come back and dunked it. .

90-80, there is still a gap of 10 points.

Yi Jianlian fouled again!
Yi Jianlian didn't play much in this game, and he didn't even face Howard, so it was only his second foul.

Howard went to the free throw line again.

Swish!
Penalty hit!

Swish!
Another free throw!

Made two free throws!

"I told you guys don't let me go to the free throw line!"

Warcraft looked triumphant.

"Three out of four, this kind of slashing tactic is not cost-effective!"

"The Lynx team shouldn't chop any more!"

It is true that the Bobcats did not carry out the slashing tactics, but sped up the offensive rhythm. Raymond Felton pushed up the speed. Zhou Lin, as the charge general, played a A wave of 2-42 offensive climax.

With 39 seconds left in the game, the Charlotte Bobcats trailed by 90 points, 94-4.

However, Sharad Lewis hit Yi Jianlian with a mid-range 2-pointer, which made the ball almost defended for 24 seconds, and finally fell short.

This 2 points almost extinguished the last counterattack of the Bobcats.

In 17 seconds, Zhou Lin grabbed 2 points, and then resorted to foul tactics. Unfortunately, first Turkoglu, then Alstom, all made free throws.

Although one of the rounds, Roy hit a three-pointer, but it was too late.

98-93, in the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Charlotte Bobcats lost on the road. Of course, in this game, the Bobcats have a good chance to win, and in the last period of the second half, they also played a good counterattack wave. If the Bobcats take this wave of counterattack early, maybe the outcome of the game is still unknown.

The best player in this game is of course Dwight Howard. He scored 16 points by making 11 of 19 free throws and 12 of 34 free throws. He also had 19 rebounds (including 8 offensive rebounds). The game's new high of 8 blocks and a quasi-triple-double almost exploded the inside of the Bobcats.

另外，拉夫.阿尔斯通11分7助攻，沙拉德.刘易斯17分5篮板，希度.特克格鲁10分4助攻！

For the Bobcats, Zhou Lin had 24 points, 7 assists and 10 rebounds. In addition, Brandon Roy had 19 points, 4 assists and 5 rebounds, and Raymond Felton had 13 points and 5 assists. By 20 minutes, none of the Bobcats' other players had scored in double figures.
