Chapter 217 Dennis What's wrong with you?
During the intermission, D'Antoni specifically praised Van Exel and Horry in the locker room. They were the biggest contributors to the Magic's lead in the first half.

Horry's performance is getting closer and closer to the cold-blooded shooter with a big heart in his previous life, which is also the result of DeWeese's intentional guidance and training.

Van Exel was also encouraged by Davis, and he was more inclined to attack by himself when he played.

"Nick, after you play, no matter what kind of shot you choose, I won't blame you. As long as you feel confident, shoot."

This is a sentence that Van Exel said to O'Neill after he was off the field after Van Exel was on the court with O'Neill and failed to score a point at the end.

"Even if Shaq and I are on the court, you don't need to hesitate." He added.

Then, Van Exel let himself go completely.

Although there are many situations like 7 of 1 heads and 8 of 2 shots, DeWeese has been encouraging him all the time, and Van Exel has cultivated a strong self-confidence because of this. When a neurotic player like him is on the court, a suitable tactic is of little use, and the confidence to dare to shoot is the most important thing.

Therefore, in the second half of last season, Van Exel's performance became better and better. As a rookie in the second half of the first round, he firmly held a position on the Magic with such a luxurious substitute.

However, D'Antoni still chose to let the team's main players play in the third quarter. Perhaps Van Exel can only truly shine when the Magic's main lineup changes.

But for now, Davis + Anderson + Sprewell is indeed the best backcourt choice for the Magic. All three are very comprehensive, and their offensive and defensive organizations are above the standard.

Especially Nick Anderson, this brother's tacit understanding last season seemed to have suddenly opened up, and the number of assists soared.

In the first few years of his career, he averaged no more than 3 assists per game, but from the end of last season to the present, he averaged nearly 6 assists per game.

DeWeese couldn't help but think of Rodman back then.

Speaking of which, Rodman has been missing for the past few days, and I really miss him a little bit. . .

In the third quarter, the two teams were still entangled, but the Magic held the lead and obviously played more calmly.

After Sprewell figured out Wilkins' routines, he became more comfortable in restricting Wilkins.

The two teams drew again in the third quarter, and still entered the final battle of the fourth quarter with an 8-point difference.

As soon as the fourth quarter came up, Wilkins showed his historical super giant strength.

He actually made a three-pointer against Sprewell's defense.

Then Davis's shot was blocked by Starks, Ewing blocked O'Neal, Oakley got the rebound, Wilkins went straight into the Magic and caused O'Neal to foul.

Then the ball stumbled into the basket.

Wilkins made the free throw steadily, and the point difference was instantly reduced to two points.

What makes Pat Riley strange is that D'Antoni is still solid off the court and has no intention of calling a timeout.

In the next round, the Magic's performance caught Pat Riley's eyes.

DeWeese relied on his increasingly proficient driving rhythm to dangle Starks head-on, then rushed to the inside and flicked the ball to the corner.

Sprewell, who had been waiting in the bottom corner for a long time, raised his sword and landed a three-pointer.

Then facing Wilkins's singles again, DeWeese unexpectedly formed a double-team with Sprewell. Wilkins' hasty pass was intercepted by Anderson, and the Magic scored two more points by counterattacking.

The point difference returned to 7 points in an instant.

"What a strong on-the-spot adjustment. The corner tactic just now was temporarily arranged. Michael has improved again." Pat Riley muttered, unwilling to fail, he also began to deploy troops.

He put on Derek Harper, replaced Skiles, and put Starks back at the No. [-] position, trying to break the deadlock with Harper's stronger offensive ability than Skiles.

Harper made a contribution when he came on the court. He faced Anderson's defense and broke into the inside lane to make a layup.

But Davis then assisted Anderson to score an answerball. He and Anderson made an outside pick-and-roll that is rare in this era. Anderson picked and rolled outside and hit Harper by surprise.

When Harper wanted to interfere with Anderson's shooting, Anderson made a false shot and went straight into the inside, and then made a sudden stop and jump shot within the three-point line.

The two teams fell into the stalemate that lasted most of the first three quarters. You scored one, I scored one, and if you didn't score, I didn't score either.

With 3 minutes left in the game, the point difference was five points, and it was the Magic's possession.

Davis has an indescribable feeling in playing recently. He only feels that his mentality has changed recently. The specific manifestation is that the more intense the game is, the less time is left, the calmer his heart is, and the grasp of the entire game situation is more accurate.

This ball is like this, Davis slowly advances forward, and before halftime, he found that Sprewell ran out of a good open space.

Then he just passed the ball directly.

The ball passed directly through the crotch of Skiles who was defending him, and was delivered to Sprewell with precision.

Sprewell obviously didn't realize that he was in an open spot, but he subconsciously rushed to the basket after receiving the ball.

When he put the ball into the basket without hindrance, he realized that he was in an unguarded state just now.

He looked at Davis in surprise, and gave Davis a thumbs up.

DeWeese's wonderful pass across the half court also aroused the cheers of the fans, and the voice of "MVP" was getting louder and louder on the sidelines.

Pat Riley has just one thought right now.

"Why doesn't this kid play under me, why isn't his father the owner of the Knicks."

Dolan: Meow meow? ? ? ?
Pat Riley shook his head resignedly when DeWeese blocked Wilkins from behind on the next Knicks drive.

Time is running out.

The Knicks suffered their first loss of the season at the Orlando home court of the Magic.

Although the Knicks, unwilling to fail, adopted foul tactics, for the Magic, as long as the foul tactics can put the ball in the hands of Davis, it basically means two points.

The Magic were satisfied with a victory at home.

The next day, there was such a sound in the Magic training hall.

"Dennis? What's the matter with you? Why do you look so bad?" Just when the unexplained teammates surrounded Rodman and asked him concerned, Davis took two steps back in horror.

Madonna in estrus is really terrible. . . .
