Chapter 17 The Magic That Is About to Disband

On November 11th, the Nets came to the home court of the Orlando Magic, where they challenged the Magic team led by Warcraft Howard. Yes, this is also a one-man team to a considerable extent.

The Magic coaching staff seized the time to find the Nets' weaknesses during the break and wanted to make some articles from them.Now Stan Van Gundy doesn't think the Nets are very strong in the regular season, but it is better to be careful in the face of the Nets who have won five consecutive victories.

After discussion, the Magic had a plan. One was to guard against Curry and squeeze him with his body. Nelson would do a good job in this regard, so that he could not get easy shots and had to spend a lot of effort to pass the ball.Doing this can control Curry's scoring, so the Nets will not be so terrible. Without a scorer who averages 25 points per game, the Nets will be in a difficult situation.

Van Gundy regards Curry as the absolute core. As long as he throws the ball away, the Nets are simply invincible. Well, a strategy has been set to guard against Curry.

Another person who cannot relax his defense is Love. That bear-like man must be guarded by Howard, and others may not be able to resist.If Love plays Lewis alone, he will definitely use his body to bully him.

To win, Curry and Love can't add up to 23 points. Otherwise, the Magic will be very difficult. Of course, Howard can't be troubled by fouls. He can't foul casually anyway, otherwise this game won't be played. Without Howard The Magic is a second-rate team.

The game is about to begin.Magic starting five Nelson, Carter, Ryan Anderson, Lewis, Howard.

The Nets' starting lineup is Curry, Matthews, George, Xiaoheng, Love, Love really can't beat Howard with a jump ball, and the Magic will attack first.

In this game, Thomas arranged for man-to-man. No one was always in the paint, and others changed positions at any time. It is not difficult to see from the past game videos of the Magic. The core of the Magic is Howard. The defense is to watch him. The outside pick-and-roll is interspersed and coordinated, but the premise is that Howard is open.

Although the other four members of the Magic can shoot three-pointers, their personal abilities are still much worse. Well, Carter is no exception now.

Nelson passed the ball to Howard inside, allowing him to single out Love.Up to now is to focus on the inside and play, and Howard opened it up. Even if it is a foul by Love, the Magic's offense will be much easier to handle.

Howard is not without weaknesses, but now Love can't grasp it. Love is not a strong defensive player, and the three-second zone is Howard's "field". At this stage, Howard, who is not troubled by back injuries, can be defended by no one. After passing the three-second zone, he can only rely on hooks or jump shots to score, so the threat on the offensive and defensive ends will be greatly reduced.

Howard leaned on Love two steps, turned to the middle and hooked, and the ball was scored.Love kept up, but couldn't block the shot. Howard jumped high, and he felt good today.

The Magic returned to defense very quickly. It seemed that they knew that the Nets' fast-break scoring was very deterrent. The ball was handed over to Curry to organize and the Warriors to attack.Curry took the ball to the front court, Matthews pulled to [-] degrees from the left three-point line, George was on the right, Xiao Heng was in the bottom corner on the right, and Love pulled to the top of the arc to cover Curry and block Nelson.

All five of the Nets have been drawn to the outside. If Howard doesn't come out, Curry's three-pointer will immediately get a shot.

The Magic's response to the Nets' defense is very simple. The three players on the outside will try to expand their defensive areas to press Curry's three-pointers. The other Magic players have good mobility. Once Curry of the Nets Or Curry passes to other players, he breaks through to the penalty area, and Howard will appear on the opponent's breakthrough route.

Howard's speed is very fast. He is the best player in the center right now, and he can defend the area where his teammates miss positions at any time. Moreover, due to Howard's jumping ability, opponents are also very afraid.

Curry moved to the right, Nelson squeezed his body, put Curry in the paint, and the Magic would prepare a feast for Curry, but Curry immediately handed the ball to a man the Magic didn't expect. Man, Matthews is already on the left three-point line, ready to play Carter with his back. Well, he just sits and hits Carter with his buttocks. Carter has height and weight, and Matthews is also very hard to hit. ah!

OK?Is the head coach of the Nets at this level?
Of course not, after 10 seconds of Matthews' post-up singles, he passed to the air-cut Xiaoheng. Xiaoheng followed Anderson and rushed to the inside, scoring before Howard's help defense came. Well, but our Nets played It's very reluctant. In this case, it is difficult to pose a threat to Magic.

The Magic attacked and failed to find an opening after several passes, so it was handed over to Howard, who was in the inside position.Howard was resisted by Love and couldn't get inside.This time Howard chose to turn and throw to the bottom line.

This is also the offensive method Howard is good at. Today, he feels really good, and he made another shot under the interference of Love. The Nets still have no chance to play fast. Curry stabilized the rhythm and waited for the players to get in position.

Love blocked Nelson, Curry broke through from the left this time, and Howard chased behind Curry, ready to block shots at any time.

But Love left it to Nelson to defend, Curry took Howard to the bottom corner, and then passed to George, George passed to Love immediately, and Lewis, who was defending George, switched defenses, but George's position was empty, he had enough Time shot the basketball into the basket, and at least played a tactic.

The Magic attacked, and the ball was given to Carter. Carter's arrival did not integrate well into the team.

Matthews is a very tenacious defensive player. The top of the arc entangled him, Lewis pulled out to cover, and Carter broke through from the right.But Carter underestimated a person. George's height and jumping are much better than the current him. He also wants to express himself too much. Carter is no longer the one who dodges others in the air. George looks at the idol. The only thought of the realistic duel It is "how so slow" that does not match the speed of the idol, but in order to pay tribute to the idol, Carter was covered.

In this way, in the opening 8 minutes, the Magic’s Warcraft showed its power, and scored 9 points with 7 types of inside hook shots and 15 types of free throws, but the Magic’s outside line did not show its power at all. Only Carter tried to score a 2 points. The players did not open.

The Nets, because Love pulls down the outside line and becomes a playmaker, um, if your monster defends me, I will pass it to your teammate to attack your inside lane. , Once the defense was assisted, the Nets showed their power from the outside, George made 3 goals, and Curry only made one goal because he was the key guard, but the two sides were still on the scene.

The substitutes of both sides come on the bench, well, the Magic’s substitute is still very famous in the league, Duhon, a standard outside point guard, Redick, a high-quality shooter produced by Duke, Pietrus, a good defense, Bass, a high-quality The inner muscle, Gortat, hehe, I won't introduce it.

But the Nets' substitutes are better in my opinion. Asik and Pekovic are on the inside, filling the three-second zone. Tony and Stephenson on the front line are the best defensive players. Bledsoe on the perimeter.

Duhon was no match for the energetic Bledsoe. Bledsoe kept reaching out to interfere with Duhon's dribbling. Under such pressure, Duhon dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and was unable to organize an offense at all.

The teammates on the outside were also oppressed more seriously. Redek couldn't ask Allen, and Pietrus was not a player who attacked with the ball. Stephenson kept talking trash by his side. Duhon had no choice but to hand over But the Magic's insiders are all muscular, no one is bad!

What's more, the Magic's bench offense is already poor, and with the defense of Allen and Stephenson on the outside, there is no chance.

On the other hand, for the Nets, Duhon was really not Bledsoe's opponent. He was broken three times in a row. Van Gundy couldn't stand it anymore and sent Nelson. Then Pekovic's pick-and-roll passed Gortat, and when Bass came to help defend, he passed it to Asik, who was unguarded inside, and the blue succeeded in the sky.

Magic's quality backup is useless, because Gortat has no offense at all**, he just wants to be replaced now, and the Nets played 20:8 in the bench time
