Chapter 126 Freezing?

"The game started, Alonzo Mourning fought for the ball, and the Heat attacked first." In this game, NBC sent Hubby Brown and Mike Thirick's commentary partners. The two sat in the commentary booth and began to explain the game. Eastern Conference semifinals.

"Hubby, let me talk about your prediction for this round of the series first?" Mike Thirick took a look at the situation on the field, and Tim Hardaway was still wandering outside the three-point line.

"This is a close matchup. The Magic and the Heat are equal in strength, but in terms of state, the Magic is better. Jonny Lee encountered different players' defenses in the series against the Hornets, but he averaged 34.3 points per game. , averaging 4.3 three-pointers per game, and I took a rough look at the Heat's shooting guards. The Heat have no players who can guard Johnny. Perhaps in this round of the series, Johnny will still beat the Heat alone. , I guess the total score should be 4:2." Hubie Brown didn't think about it, and directly expressed his thoughts.

In fact, Hubie Brown's idea is the common idea of ​​many people. From the perspective of book strength, the two teams are almost the same.But judging from the state, it is natural that the Magic is better.At least Jonny Lee will be a confidant of the Heat. Almost everyone thinks that the Heat will have nothing to do with Jonny Lee and can only let Jonny Lee play.

On the court, the Heat's offense was very monotonous. Tim Hardaway started to break through soon after he got the ball.Tim Hardaway's breakthrough is not for the purpose of scoring. He wants to use such a breakthrough to find opportunities for the team's three-point shooters.For Tim Hardaway's style of play, the Magic adopted Doug Christie to switch to Tim Hardaway, a single defense from beginning to end.This defensive strategy is similar to that of Popovich's defense against James in later generations.

Tim Hardaway rushed into the penalty area, and it was still Doug Christie who defended him. He failed to attract double-teams, and the effect of splitting the ball was not great, so Tim Hardaway chose to come by himself. He was moving fast He raised the ball, flicked his wrist, and sent the ball into the basket.

2 minutes!The Heat easily scored 2 points, but Tim Hardaway didn't feel easy, because Doug Christie's defense was too tight, coupled with the Magic's strange defensive strategy, he always felt something was wrong.

The Magic’s offense, the Heat set their posture and wait for the Magic’s next attack. If the Heat’s offense relies on Tim Hardaway’s breakthrough and scoring, then the Magic’s offense is very similar to the Heat’s. It is also Anfernee Hardaway’s breakthrough Divide the ball, but the difference is that Jonny's off-ball running is added to it.

"Anfernee Hardaway's breakthrough, oh no, the ball is scored, Jonny Lee, catch the ball and shoot, and hit a three-pointer! Beautiful goal, the cooperation between Jonny Lee and Anfernee Hardaway is getting better and better!"

In this game, the Heat's player defending Johnny was Voshan Leonard. This 1-meter guard could keep up with Johnny's pace at first, but when Johnny made a sharp turn, he was thrown away up.And when Jonny received the ball and shot immediately, although the little man tried his best to interfere, he obviously failed to interfere with Jonny.

Johnny hit a three-pointer, and the Magic led by one point, but the advantage of this point could not be maintained for 10 seconds, and they were hit by a wave of fast breaks by the Heat. The Magic obviously didn't react to this wave of fast breaks. Chiadubatu was a little confused.

As soon as the ball was sent, Tim Hardaway rushed to the front court, and then hit the ground with a long shot. Jamal Mash took the ball and shot it. He immediately returned a three-pointer, and it was still a three-pointer.

This is where the Magic did not arrange before the game. It can be said that this is Rich Adubatu's mistake.For Pat Riley's team, counterattack has always been one of their most commonly used scoring methods, otherwise Pat Riley's high-intensity training would become unnecessary.As for the ball just now, the Heat rushed up at high speed and caught the Magic by surprise, which is a manifestation of Pat Riley's high-intensity training.

The Heat's ball caught the Magic by surprise, and Rich Adubatu began to shout from the sidelines to pay attention to the counterattack, but he didn't know that this was just the beginning.

Pat Riley's team has always been the kind of team that has a lot of surprises. Of course, this kind of surprise is for the opponent, and of course the opponent will feel frightened.In the next few attacks, the Magic felt this deeply. The Heat's ubiquitous offense made the Magic dizzy. They couldn't prevent the Heat at all!And Johnny also discovered that he was actually being marked by the Heat.

From the second ball, Jonny found that there were always two Heat players by his side, one was close to him, and the other was not far away, and whenever the ball was passed to him, Another player will quickly pounce, and then form a siege, forcing Johnny to pass the ball.Johnny has been forced to pass the ball three or four times.

And when the first quarter lasted 5 minutes, Jonny only took two shots and scored one goal, which was the opening three-pointer.

"Johnny is actually misfired!" This is Mike Thirick's exclamation. In the 5th minute of the first quarter, most people discovered that Jonny was actually frozen by Patray using a special method.Because Johnny couldn't find a good opportunity to make a move!

However, the Magic did not fall behind because of this. They relied on Anfernee Hardaway's performance to stabilize the situation on the field, but the Magic knew that if Johnny was kept frozen like this, the Magic would definitely not be able to win this game Yes, because the few goals Anfernee Hardaway scored were all scored during the chaotic period when the Heat double-teamed Jonny.

And the Heat will definitely not be like this all the time. They have gradually found the routine and method of double-teaming Johnny. If they continue to fight like this, the Heat's defense will soon become regular and less chaotic. , is when the magic is over.

"Jonnie Lee's running position, he turned around and threw away Voshan Leonard!"

From the moment he saw the Heat's intentions, Johnny began to run wildly. He has done this kind of sudden turn and escape from Johnny many times. Although he succeeded every time, the agile Vaushanleiner Germany was always able to catch up, and then surrounded Jonny with another teammate at the moment Jonny received the ball.

Moreover, the Heat's double-teaming is also very characteristic. They raise their arms high, completely blocking Jonny's sight, forcing Jonny to find his teammates to respond, and this kind of responding pass can't create any good opportunities at all.

For Johnny, everything that happened at the beginning of the game meant that he had been frozen, and he couldn't find any chance to make a move at all!
