Chapter 356 The Beaten Spurs
However, it was still DeWeese who stood up when Jordan was at his craziest.

He and Jordan scored, in a very special way.

For every goal Jordan made, DeWeese made a [-]-pointer.

Jordan scored five goals in a row. Not only did the point difference not narrow, but it opened up another five points.

Because Davis made five consecutive three-pointers.

There are sudden shots with cold arrows, open shots after pick-and-rolls, emergency stops after breakthroughs, and step-backs, but no matter in which way, Davis made the ball.

Unknowingly, DeWeese and Jordan both scored more than 50.
This reminds people of the scoring battle between the two last year.

But the duo's scoring performance came to an abrupt end when Jordan scored his 52nd point and Davis scored his 50th.

Phil Jackson replaced all the main players and announced his surrender.

D'Antoni originally thought that something was going to happen to Phil Jackson, and nervously explained to the players the tactics the Bulls might adopt, but after the timeout ended, the entire Magic team was embarrassed to find that the main players of the Bulls were all sitting off the court. . . .

DeWeese passed the ball to Garnett out of boredom, and Garnett happily performed his iron-blooded jumper.

Soon, when the ball was dead, D'Antoni also replaced all the main players, and let the substitutes go up to experience the atmosphere of the conference finals.

就这样，魔术队主场113-124战胜了公牛队，乔丹砍下全场最高的52分7篮板3助攻，迪威斯则砍下50分5篮板12助攻。

But the Magic's five starters all scored in double figures, and the Bulls only scored in double figures with three-pointers from Jordan, Pippen and Kemp.

In addition, Jordan played a full 42 minutes and occupied a lot of possessions. The substitute players had no choice but to stand up.

The Magic lead 1-0.

But the next day, while the Magic were practicing, Garnett was injured.

He stepped on someone else's foot when he landed, and the team medical examination showed that he was out for 2-3 weeks.

Although Garnett didn't score much, he perfectly filled Rodman's position. He did all the dirty work in the team. Rebounding, assisting defense, and supplementary defense are an indispensable part of the Magic.

After he was injured, Davis immediately called a meeting with the coaching staff to discuss who should take his place.

"I suggest that Mason be on top. Mason is tough, organized and shoots. He should be able to complete the task of defending Camp." Donovan was the first to speak.

"I suggest letting Horry play. Horry's shooting is better. He should be able to get Kepra out and reduce the pressure on the inside." This is D'Antoni's suggestion.

But Byrd suggested otherwise.

"Why not let Ervin try it? I'm looking forward to the effect of Ervin and Michael on the court at the same time."

When Byrd said this, everyone was stunned.

This season, the magician did not get too many opportunities to play. He is more of an experienced veteran to stabilize the morale and impart experience to these recruits in the Magic team.

But recalling that Magic had only started a few games, everyone found that it seemed that he was indeed the most suitable candidate.

Davis went straight out and called Johnson in.

"Ervin, how are you starting the next game?"

Johnson was also stunned, but soon he nodded.

"I listen to the team, but now my physical fitness can only support me to play a high-level game for [-] minutes at most. If there is more, I should not be able to support it." Johnson agreed, but also straightforwardly stated his own weaknesses.

"No problem, I will reasonably arrange the playing time of you, Antonio and Robert, and the three of you will share the playing time equally." D'Antoni indicated that there is no problem.

"No, Mike, you forgot one thing. After Kevin was injured, we had no substitute for the center forward position. You can't let Mason go against Gugliota, can you?" Davis said.

That's right, Garnett has always been O'Neal's first substitute. He will take the center position when O'Neal is off the court, and play small ball tactics with Davis or Iverson. After Garnett was injured, O'Neal didn't even have a qualified substitute.

D'Antoni was lost in thought.

Suddenly, everyone turned their eyes to Johnson who just came in. . . .

Johnson pointed at himself in disbelief: "You won't let me top the center?"

"Now it seems that this is the only way to go. After all, you have the experience of playing a center in the finals..." Davis laughed.

The others nodded together. ,

"Then, I'm going to study how to allocate playing time." D'Antoni saw that the matter had been settled, and took a notebook to write and draw.

Garnett's injury cast a shadow over the Magic, but what people didn't expect was that Johnson, who was considered by everyone to be a mixed ring, took Garnett's position.

What is even more unexpected is still behind.

In the first game of the Western Conference Finals that day, the Rockets won the game cleanly at their home court.

The tactical system built around David Robinson by the Spurs was torn to pieces by Olajuwon. ,

Although David Robinson is several years younger than Olajuwon and is known as the four most athletic centers, David Robinson really has no good way to face Olajuwon.

He can run, and so can Olajuwon.

He can pull it out, and Olajuwon can pull it out.

But purely on the inside, he can't beat it. . . . .

In this game, Coach Lao Tang is determined to use Olajuwon to face David Robinson, and Olajuwon, who is in good form, defends David Robinson with a little doubt about life.

大卫罗宾逊全场出手22次，仅仅命中了五球……加上罚球5中4，得到了14分14篮板4助攻3盖帽以及8次失误。

奥拉朱旺则砍下了28分13篮板5助攻5盖帽4抢断，差点继四双之后又砍下一次5x5。

Drexler scored a game-high 32 points and became the best helper around Olajuwon.The Spurs should have stood up to help David Robinson Elliott and the junior general Avery Johnson pulled their hips together.

埃利奥特15分3篮板4助攻，小将军约翰逊11分2篮板6助攻。

The Rockets are on their home court, except for turnovers, all statistics suppress the Spurs.

篮板数48比35，助攻数29比22，盖帽8比5，抢断9比4，命中率55比43。

In fact, theoretically speaking, if the Mavericks' twin stars are not injured, the Mavericks should be the one to play the Western Conference Finals with the Rockets. The Spurs really have a big gap with the other teams.
