This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 369 Warcraft Supplement Deduction Lore!

Throughout the third quarter, the Charlotte Bobcats' touch has begun to recover, and the Magic's points are basically obtained from the inside. Warcraft scored 7 points in 4 of 10 in the third quarter, including 6 of 2 free throws. , This is the situation the Bobcats are willing to see, because it is impossible to completely dominate the game relying on Warcraft's inside strong second offense. If the Orlando Magic wants to win, it must be the same as the first half, needing the outside line to open, Jia Mal Nelson, Vince Carter, JJ Redick, Sharad Lewis and other players all shot away.

"Keep the previous offensive and defensive strategy, I believe we can win the game!"

The counterattack in the third quarter allowed the players of the Charlotte Bobcats to see the possibility of winning the game.

In the last quarter of the game, Stephen Marbury was replaced again. Among the three players, the one who is more in line with Larry Brown's tactical thinking is actually Stephen Marbury, although the cooperation in New York is not counted. Pleasant, but after all, Stephen Marbury has worked with Larry Brown before, and in terms of tactical execution, it is still good.

The Magic, who have led the whole game, don't want to lose the game just like that,
In the fourth quarter, Sharad Lewis took the lead. As a high fortress, the 4-for-1 three-pointer in the first three quarters was obviously a bit unqualified. Facing Yi Jianlian, Sharad Lewis also fought hard, directly Going inside, facing Roy Hibbert's defense, Sharad Lewis hit a pullup layup and caused a foul.

Yi Jianlian quickly raised his hand here, indicating that the ball was fouled by himself. If Hibbert fouled again, it would be the fifth foul, and then Yi Jianlian had to go to the inside to defend against Warcraft.

"I haven't seen Lewis play like this for many years. Now even the fans of the Magic team are starting to doubt how much gas is left in the fuel tank of one of the former Big Three. He has the second highest annual salary of the Magic team this season. For him, he really felt a little sorry for the money he took."

Lewis's billion-dollar contract is destined to become a garbage contract, 6 million in 1.18 years, he is the benefit of the salary cap increase, and he is also the Magic's thirst for talents. By chance, he got the sixth billion-dollar contract in history.

In fact, in the first two years, Sharad Lewis's performance was not satisfactory, and he barely played some high-profile performances. In the 07-08 season, it was considered a honeymoon period. He scored 226 three-pointers in a single season and entered the ranks of the first-line pitchers in the league. , In the 2008-2009 season, he was also an All-Star. Although the gap with the league's first-tier stars is not small, he will not be complained about high salary and low ability.

But since this season, Sharad Lewis has been completely reduced to a role player, and his shooting percentage has also dropped a lot. Because of the lack of the threat of a breakthrough, he has gradually become a spot-up shooter. For Lewis' defense, he is basically letting go. .

However, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Yi Jianlian was a bit misplaced to match Sharad Lewis. Last year, Yi Jianlian was at a disadvantage when facing Sharad Lewis. This season, Yi Jianlian began to gain weight. , Gradually went to the fifth position, and the footsteps moved a lot slower. It was quite difficult to defend against Lewis, and Lewis was in the state of paddling in the first three quarters, but only in the fourth quarter. If it is, it is estimated that the fans will really complain about it.

Yes, these old buddies of the Magic don't plan to paddle anymore.

Sharad Lewis and Vince Carter more or less kept their strength in the third quarter. For this kind of veteran who has played in the league for more than ten years, they are well aware of the gap between them and young people. Players who have played in the league for more than 10 seasons are inevitably due to injuries and decline in physical function. It is unrealistic to compete with young people for 48 minutes, so players need to adjust themselves. paddling.

Lewis made two charges here, Yi Jianlian's defense was a bit difficult, and David Lee was quickly sent to the field.

He can still match up against Sharad Lewis, but, once he plays, the Bobcats don't have enough balls.

Lewis is really not that good at playing against David Lee, especially Sharad Lewis' outside touch today is actually average. The Magic also quickly changed their offensive focus. Vince Carter, as Ben The important signings of the season can't be paddling now, facing Brandon Roy's defense.

Vince Carter was unlucky after a cross-step dribble. After reaching the inside line, facing David Lee's supplementary defense, Vince Carter jumped high.

"Is this old Carter going to buckle?"

Yang Yi became excited.

But after all, Vince Carter is no longer the same Carter he was ten years ago. Facing the basket and David Lee so close at hand, Carter chose to move the ball slowly after sliding down.

Ten years ago, at the Sydney Olympics, Vince Carter skipped the Greek center and completed the dunk of the century. He also completely let himself write his name in the list of world-class dunkers, and also put his name The momentum reached its peak.

It's a pity that it has been ten years, and Carter finally succumbed to fate. If he barely dunked just now, he might be injured or hit the front of the basket.

However, the ball got into the basket obediently!

"It can only be said that the years are the most ruthless. The UFO that flew all over the sky in the past is now finally heading for a downhill career."

Su Qun said with emotion that this well-known domestic commentator who has been engaged in professional basketball commentary since the early 90s also witnessed the experience of Vince Carter's fledgling, then reached the top, and finally slipped slowly. Naturally, he felt a little bit embarrassed of.

Vince Carter is no longer a player who can dunk unscrupulously on the rim.

Not only the domestic media, but also the American commentators on the scene in Orlando also expressed these emotions.

However, although Vince Carter lost his super explosive dunking ability, on the premise that he didn't need to consider his physical fitness, he faced the newly promoted All-Star player Brandon Roy, and he played back and forth.

At 4 minutes and 23 seconds, relying on Sharad Lewis and Vince Carter's biting breakthroughs, the Orlando Magic gradually regained their sense of offense and played a wave of 11-4 spurts.

The point difference seemed to be heading towards the 20-point mark. Larry Brown immediately called a timeout. If this continues, the game will undoubtedly be lost!

Brandon Roy was replaced to take a rest. In the case of ebb and flow, Brandon Roy, as the center of gravity of the Bobcats' offense, has already fallen behind Vince Carter, who is not spared. Downwind, consecutive outside shots missed.

It is normal for players and even stars to lose touch and game rhythm at certain moments in the playoffs. Under stricter defense and wider room for whistleblowing, when the confrontation is fierce, the offense will be stronger than in the postseason. The game is much more difficult. As the offensive team in the league, the Bobcats also dropped more than 7 points per game after the playoffs. Defense is really important for the playoffs.

Luke Mbah a Moute replaced Brandon Roy. For the Bobcats, with Roy, Zhou Lin, and David Lee on the court at the same time, the effect is not very good. Defensive colander, but they are all players who are stronger in offense than defense.

All three of them need tactics to play and possession of the ball, so the effect of sticking together is not good.

Luke Mbah a Moute goes up here and sticks to Vince Carter. Mbah a Moute's wingspan and height can still limit Vince Carter very well. Now the Bobcats are at the second and third positions The one who can defend is Luke Mbah a Moute.

Zhou Lin rested for the entire third quarter and gave the ball to Roy. After Roy went down, he no longer needed to deliberately restrain his desire to attack, and at this time David Lee also knew that he could not give the ball to Roy. Zhou Lin grabbed the position, and after the low post on the weak side gave way, David Lee went to the free throw line to do some support. Zhou Lin sat in the low post and hit Barnes.

After all, Barnes is still a little shorter.

Looking back, the Magic team wanted Warcraft to hit one, but Warcraft's big hook didn't feel good, and it went straight out of the frame. After Warcraft got it, the second tip-up still missed, and Zhou Lin came in time. At the basket, even though Warcraft got a rebound again in a tie-breaker, Zhou Lin took advantage of the raised elbow. After falling down, Warcraft fouled for the fourth time!
After more than half a quarter of the game, the Bobcats were determined to find trouble with Warcraft, and wanted to let the five offenders of Warcraft go off the court first, but under the repeated attacks of the Bobcats, Warcraft didn't even have one. Foul, Warcraft's defensive awareness and skills are now considered top-notch in the league, but Warcraft's side once again made a mistake in rebounding, and this time it almost crushed David Lee. .

The referee has actually given Warcraft some face. After all, this is the home court of the Magic. In the previous few rounds, Warcraft's defense was not absolutely clean, and there were a few balls that could be blown. But this time, David Lee was directly pulled to the ground by him. The referee really couldn't stand the ball.

This is also because there is almost no one on the Magic team to help Warcraft grab rebounds. It is normal for Howard to grab 2 opponents alone, sometimes even 3. Howard needs to get a better rebound position. It is unavoidable to push others away sometimes.

With 15 points and 19 rebounds, Howard, who ended up with 5 fouls, would have scored 20+20 if it wasn’t for this foul. At present, the Magic has grabbed a total of 42 rebounds, and Howard alone almost accounted for It's half done.

In any case, Howard will go down now, which is the best chance for the Bobcats in this game.

At this moment. Brandon Roy and Yi Jianlian replaced Luke Mbah a Moute and David Lee, and the Bobcats re-entered the starting lineup stage.

The Polish sledgehammer who replaced Howard, the ability to protect the frame and the ability to rebound will be much worse. The continuous impact of Zhou Lin and Roy almost smashed the Magic's inside impact. Fortunately, Howard was there before. At that time, the magic team had a big enough advantage, so they were not caught up all at once.

"The Bobcats want to chase 5-[-] points in less than [-] minutes, they must shoot three-pointers."

Yang Yi's mouth is definitely open, saying that the Bobcats are going to make a three-pointer, and the Charlotte Bobcats are really going to make a three-pointer, and the three three-pointers still come from different players. The one who made a three-pointer was Zhu Holiday. This was Holiday's first three-pointer in this year's playoffs. Then Zhou Lin faced the pressing Matt Barnes. When the top of the arc is blinded, there is more or less luck involved in hitting the board head-on.

Another three-pointer came from Yi Jianlian. When the round time was almost up, Yi Jianlian withstood the pressure and made this three-pointer!

And this three-pointer directly tied the Orlando Magic.

105-101，山猫队打出了一波17-8的进攻潮水，将分差转眼间就追到了只差4分了。

At 2 minutes and 11 seconds, Warcraft Howard came back early. It was actually a little risky to come back so early, but Stan Van Gundy couldn't sit still.

As for the Warcraft side, it was true that they made meritorious service in the first round of their return.

After the pick-and-roll went down, the left-handed layup succeeded, helping the team score steadily.

The Bobcats failed outside shots here.

Fortunately, the Magic didn't make a shot either.

Zhou Lin made a layup and completed a three-pointer.

Under the boos all over the sky, Zhou Lin withstood the pressure and made an extra penalty.

107-104, three points away!

At 1 minute and 03 seconds, the Magic's offensive round.

Stan Van Gundy arranged a Carter offensive tactic after a timeout. Unfortunately, Carter missed a mid-range shot and the Bobcats had a chance to tie the score.

The Orlando Magic defended the three-pointer and gave Zhou Lin a certain space to break through. In the end, Zhou Lin caused Lewis to foul.

Another wave of two free throws!
107-106!

time of 28 seconds.

The Orlando Magic almost ran out of time here, the ball was given to Howard, Hibbert fouled, and he fouled six.

Hibbert, who had 7 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks, walked off the court slightly frustrated.

However, in 7.2 seconds, the Bobcats still had a chance, even if they made two free throws.

And Howard missed the first free throw, which made the fans on the scene gasp.

If two free throws are made, the Orlando Magic can guarantee that they will not lose in regular time, but now the Bobcats have a chance to fight back.

Second free throw!
Howard breathed a sigh of relief. At least if the Bobcats want to reverse the game, they need a three-pointer!

If you miss both free throws, the Bobcats have more options!
"Whether it's a three-pointer or a two-pointer, score first and then talk. If you miss, then foul!"

Larry Brown patted Zhou Lin on the shoulder and said, "You come to look for opportunities."

Zhou Lin sent the sideline ball, David Lee came out to respond, passed back to Zhou Lin, Zhou Lin made a breakthrough, attracted almost everyone's attention, and gave it to Yi Jianlian on the side, Yi Jianlian hit the board steadily!

"Zhou Lin passed the ball to Ah Lian, Ah Lian hit the board, and the Bobcats chased the score to 108-108! Now there are only 2.1 seconds left, and the Magic has no timeout!"

"It seems that I do have overtime physique!"

Yang Yi said with a smile: "However, if it goes to overtime, I am more optimistic about the Charlotte Bobcats."

Serving in the backcourt, Matt Barnes deservedly played football. A quarterback-style long pass was passed to Vince Carter, which really gave the Magic a chance!
Carter made a direct shot from one step away from the three-point line, but it was a pity that it went out of the frame, but at this moment, Warcraft leaped high and almost smashed the ball into the basket through Yi Jianlian!

The bench players of the Charlotte Bobcats looked stunned, and when they came back to their senses, Larry Brown asked for a playback.

The referee also confirmed that the ball was shot before the red light, and it can be seen through the replay that Warcraft's supplementary dunk did not time out.

"If it was Hibbert who defended Howard just now, maybe the result would be different."

Hibbert's six offenders left the field, which also paved the way for this second dunk!
110-108!

The Orlando Magic made it through!

Warcraft, who scored 19 points and 21 rebounds, was very excited to bump his chest against Vince Carter!

The audience on the sidelines also applauded!
This supplementary deduction has almost locked in today's best goal.

The Bobcats chased for the entire game, seeing that the point difference was evened out, and finally turned into this kind of ending. Yi Jianlian was going to be the savior of this game!

Yi Jianlian scored 13 points and 8 rebounds in this game, and his performance was also the best since entering the playoffs.

周林22分9助攻5篮板，布兰登.罗伊25分5篮板，大卫.李20分5篮板，但是依旧难阻比赛失利。

And at this moment, Su Qun glanced at the game on another field, and his jaw dropped in shock!
61-45, the San Antonio Spurs led the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers by a full 16 points at halftime!
