Chapter 272 Locking the Victory
After Dayao left the game early for a break, the Philadelphia 76ers returned to the single-core leadership mode that Channing is most familiar with.

After a continuous crotch, he suddenly pulled up the shot. Lightning took the first step to step back and jump shot, and after breaking through, he turned and leaned back. Channing's personal scoring ability was vividly displayed.

In just 3 minutes, Channing has made four consecutive attacks on Courtney Lee, and each attack has a different technique.

"Wow, Channing's offensive skills have improved a lot compared to last season. These consecutive singles are so easy and picturesque."

"Yes, although the Magic lacks a reliable perimeter defender, Coach Van Gundy is really too careless to let a first-time NBA rookie guard Channing."

Coach Stan Van Gundy also thinks so. He failed to grab Pietrus. The Magic's perimeter defense is always a hidden danger. That's why he boldly used Courtney Lee to try to make this rookie with good defensive skills grow up quickly. .

But the actual performance proved that a rookie is a rookie. Courtney Lee, who has never played a single NBA game, encountered such a high-intensity game and such a strong opponent for the first time in his career. shredded.

At the very beginning, Channing catches the ball and shoots it. Due to the height difference of ten centimeters, it is understandable that Courtney Lee cannot defend, but now Channing starts to attack with the ball. Can't help it, Channing's feint and a breakthrough with a huge stride made it impossible for Courtney Lee, who was in poor shape, to catch up.

This kind of defensive matchup is simply a one-sided massacre.

After playing 10 minutes in the first quarter, Channing made 12 of 9 shots, including three three-pointers. He scored 21 points in a single quarter. This kind of scoring explosiveness was impossible last season.

Yao Ming also scored 11 points efficiently. Yao Qian teamed up and arranged nearly 9% of the team's points. The Philadelphia 76ers also maintained a great advantage over the Magic.

Stan Van Gundy didn't dare to let the main players rest for a moment, but Warcraft Howard and Turkoglu were on the court at the same time, but they still couldn't turn the situation back. The Magic's several counterattacks were all defeated by Channing alone. go back.

The main players have played for 10 minutes in a row. In desperation, coach Van Gundy reluctantly made a substitution. Turkoglu and Lewis were off the field. Only Howard was the defensive barrier of the Magic. Van Gundy dared not let him rest.

A bunch of role players were sent on the opposite side. Coach Cheeks also took the opportunity to replace Channing to rest. With a great advantage, Cheeks did not let Yao Ming play, but sent Birdman Anderson and Channing Frye to partner inside. , plus the five-man combination of Pietrus, Belinelli and Dragic.

In just a few minutes of playing time, Birdman Anderson couldn't guard Howard, but his attitude was very positive, and his rebounding was fierce enough to not frighten Howard at all. With this enthusiasm, he has already won Cheeks The trust of the coach, so it can continue to stay on the field.

Livingston's situation is quite special. Although the ball was completely controlled by Channing in the past few minutes, Livingston simply passed the ball, and his performance was calm and unrestrained. However, he suffered a serious injury after all. Coach Cheeks must be more careful with his use, so after a few minutes of feeling on the court, Livingston took a rest, and this year's second-round pick point guard Dragic began to play.

With such a rotation lineup without Yao Ming or Channing, the Philadelphia team was suppressed by the opponent for the first time tonight. After 2 minutes in the second quarter, the Magic recovered the point difference to 3 points. Coach Cheeks It feels almost the same, so the full starting five tiger lineup is sent.

From a little more than halfway through the first quarter, until the second quarter, Yao Ming sat on the bench for nearly 8 minutes in a row. This kind of treatment was absolutely unavailable in Houston before. Yao smiled and rubbed his hands that were already a little cold , played.

As soon as the cash cow team appeared on the stage, they immediately regained control of the situation. Howard, who had been defeated by Yao Ming tonight, did not dare to single-handedly play inside. Ability is only a shortcoming of the league's second-tier level.

The Magic's offense stagnated, while the Philadelphia team played better and better.

The tacit cooperation between Yao Ming and Channing gradually developed many new changes as the game progressed. The other members of the Philadelphia team also gradually adapted to the internal and external cooperation of Yao Ming and Channing, and began to look for their own opportunities.

After insisting on individual defense in the first quarter and being repeatedly blasted by Yao Ming and Channing, coach Stan Van Gundy made adjustments in the second quarter. As long as these two men get the ball, the Magic will resolutely double-team. separated.

The double-teaming tactics of the Magic made Channing and Yao Ming's passing ability come into play.

As soon as Yao Ming on the inside was double-teamed, Shane Battier on the outside had an open three-pointer opportunity, just like what they did in the Rockets before, Yao Ming split the ball and Battier staged a Battier rainbow.

When Channing encounters a double-team from the outside line, his tall stature and broad vision can also help him send out assists immediately. Kyle Lowry honestly completed the three-pointer arranged by Channing during this offseason. Homework, and now, his hard work has paid off.

Without double-teaming, Channing and Yao Ming will either play all kinds of unsolvable singles, or all kinds of fancy two-person cooperation. Once double-teamed, both of them can quickly play the ball. It's raining.

Press one end and get up the other, the Magic team was running around, lost themselves in the constant double-teaming and returning to defense, and after switching defenses back and forth exhaustedly, the Magic team's defense became more loopholes, with all kinds of leaks. And the vacancies are endless.

Under such a loose defense, the Philadelphia 76ers' open shooting rate is even more heinous. Battier seems to be doing shooting training. Kyle Lowry scored twice. Even Yao Ming tried With a try attitude, he threw a three-pointer at the top of the arc, and it went straight into the basket.

At the end of the half, the Philadelphia 76ers led 66 to 42 by 24 points and had already sealed the victory.

Coach Stan Van Gundy was so angry in the locker room that he was taken away by the Philadelphia team during the offseason. This hatred for Van Gundy was deeply engraved in his bones, and he originally planned to go to Philadelphia tonight. The opponent beat him up, but he didn't expect that he was beaten into a pig's head after only half the time.

In the CCTV live broadcast room, Director Zhang Lili was very surprised. Then he remembered the game prediction made by Chen Ning before the start of the game. It turned out that the words of winning 20 points tonight were not ridicule, but the truth!
