Chapter 148: Attack Orlando Again (5)
Mike Woodson's egg head once again glows in the bright light of the court. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
He straightened his suit and finally spoke slowly:
"Take it easy! You don't have any problems defending, keep up the intensity. We have won 90% of this game. Kraft, Marvin, J-Smoove, always pay attention to protect the backcourt rebound, I don't have much else to say!"
Erniu and others are even more inexplicable, and the head coach's arrangement is too easy.
Hey, please, at this time, shouldn't we take out the tactical board to write and draw, and tell us about defensive tactics?
What is this black guy doing with Woodson?
Larry Drew on the side smiled and said, "It doesn't matter how many 3-pointers the opponent makes, as long as the defense is in place, the rebound is protected, and the victory belongs to us, you all remember that no team can guarantee that kind of shooting percentage in 48 minutes."
Even if the Magic were still able to shoot 3-pointers after the start of the final quarter, they would never be able to maintain that percentage all the time.
A good shooter will always say, 'I'm going to make the next 3', so you as a defender have to remember, 'I'm going to make the next 3'." ”
Erniu and the others looked at Woodson's confident appearance again, and they were immediately relieved. If the manager is so confident, then of course there is no reason for them to lose confidence.
When the Hawks players returned to the court, Woodson covered his mouth and said to Larry Drew next to him: "I didn't show a flaw, did I?"
Larry Drew also covered his mouth and said: "No problem, the players have recovered their confidence!"
After saying this, Woodson immediately returned to sitting upright.
In the face of the Magic's 3-point rain, except for giving his players unlimited confidence, it doesn't make sense to just instill defensive strategies.
However, as an old-school coach, Woodson also doesn't believe that shooting 3-pointers can kill people, because there has never been such a team in history.
Even if the Magic win today's game, Woodson's notion will never waver anytime soon.
As soon as the fourth quarter began, the Magic seemed ready to challenge Woodson's heartbeat to the fullest.
Nelson, who had been suppressed for three quarters, finally found his touch in the final quarter, he stunned Johnson Sr. in a series of disguises, and then hit a difficult 3-pointer from the back, and repeated such a difficult goal in the next round.
Woodson clenched his palms and didn't sweat, only because he wasn't sweaty in the first place.
The back of the egg's neck is already sweating, there is no problem with the air conditioning in the Amway center, there is only one explanation for this, anxious!
Maybe God heard Woodson's prayers, and it was the Magic team who still couldn't get rid of the goddess of victory at the last minute.
Anyway, in the next 8 minutes of the game, the Magic team suddenly lost their touch and missed consecutive long-range shots.
The Eagles seized the opportunity and overtook the score.
The outside line couldn't shoot, and the inside line was locked up, and the Magic could only rely on breakthroughs to save the game.
Ruan Erniu, Marvin Williams, and Lunar Eclipse stepped up at the key, and the trio teamed up to deliver a full 10 blocks in the final quarter, finally closing the coffin for this all-meter live match.
At 100:87, the main force of the Eagles fought until the last moment, and the Magic did not recover the lost touch until the end. In high-intensity games, it is extremely normal to miss the 3-point mark.
The stats show that the Magic lost the game in the end, but they lost on the rebound.
The Hawks grabbed 50 rebounds throughout the game, while the Magic had just 40.
The difference of 10 rebounds is the real reason why the game finally went to the Hawks.
Ruan Erniu wanted to say hello to Sparks after the game, as a winner, he had this bearing, but Sparks himself didn't have this mind, he strode back to the locker room, and didn't mean to communicate with people after the game.
Howard scored 15 points and 17 rebounds in this game, which can basically be regarded as a complete blow up opponent if it is against the inside line of other leagues, but unfortunately, today's opponent has made the Spark the side that has been blown up.
Nguyen Erniu scored a double-double of 27 points and 18 rebounds in this game, and the Hawks have played a full 20 regular season games, and he also scored 20 consecutive double-doubles.
For a rookie, you can't ask for more.
But given that the target of this rookie in the Celestial Empire is those ancient beasts, the opponent that Ruan Erniu faces should be "The Prophet" Moses Ma Long, who scored 44 consecutive double-doubles in the 8-83 season, and also won a record of 51 consecutive double-doubles across seasons.
Of course, in more ancient times, there was the presence of Wilt Chamberlain, whose consecutive double-doubles were 220......
Well, you can still congratulate Mr. Kraft Nguyen on completing the fraction of Zhang Dashuai, dreams always have to be made, what if they come true?
The Hawks had to fly back to Atlanta immediately after their Dec. 10 game against the Magic, as they were about to complete a back-to-back at home against the Toronto Raptors.
Before getting on the plane, Woodson received a phone call.
"How's your talk going over there?" Woodson said.
"No problem, he's already been moved by what I said, and the Raptors game will definitely not be able to catch up. However, give the veteran a little time and he will quickly become a reliable helper for the team. ”
"I don't have as much confidence as you, after all, how old can he still be as good as he was back then?" Woodson said, shaking his head.
"Well, I've done it and he's in much better physical condition than we thought, and he's got the skills and the experience. Anyway, you won't use him as a workhorse, so what's there to find fault with?"
"I'm worried he won't even be able to make a bench, and don't forget, he's not a fuel-efficient guy!" Woodson said with some skepticism.
"Then it depends on your leadership with Kraft and Joe, and with the three of you in the locker room, I'm sure he won't be able to figure it out!"
Woodson smiled helplessly and said, "I hope so!"
Woodson answered the call in front of the whole team.
Some of the players couldn't sit still, they were afraid that they would be thrown directly at the airport in Orlando, and they would have to pay for their own tickets back to Atlanta.
Maybe in the next second, they'll hear from the head coach about being traded.
Woodson looked at the faces of these guys, slapped his forehead and said, "Don't worry, no one needs to pack, in fact, we're going to welcome a league veteran." ”
Ruan Erniu had already seen his eyebrows, and if he could make such a call in front of everyone, it would definitely not be a matter of confirming the trade of players.
In recent times, there has been no sign of general manager Billie Knight, and needless to say, he must have signed players.
Erniu was the first to throw out the question: "Who is coming to Atlanta?"
Woodson, a swarthy man who wanted to whet the appetite of others, laughed and said, "All I can tell you is that Billy is getting ready to fly back to Atlanta from Wisconsin." ”
