Chapter 252: The Magic of Repeatedly Stealing the Scene
Seeing that Francis was fouled by Chamberlain, the home fans let out a huge boo, and Davis, who had just sat down on the sidelines, got up from his chair again excitedly, and his face instantly became extremely ugly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In just three minutes of the opening period, the team's leading scorer accumulated two fouls, and while a technical foul didn't affect the overall situation, it was also a bad sign.
What Francis is like, Davis knows very well in his heart, Francis's defense is very aggressive, this aggressiveness can sometimes allow him to cover a big man who is 30 centimeters taller than him, and more often it will cause him to get into foul trouble.
"Watch out for fouls, Steve, watch out for fouls. ā
At the thought of this, Davis quickly walked to the sideline and yelled at Francis.
People like Francis need passion to play, the kind of fearless and indomitable strength, Davis's shout is a reminder to Francis, but it also makes him fearful, and his threat in the game is greatly reduced.
In this attack, Ridno dribbled the ball past the half, and Francis's defense weakened a lot. In this way, the supersonic offensive tactics are fully operational.
Chamberlain and Mourning coordinated a pick-and-roll to get rid of Howard, and Ridno's pass came in just right.
At the moment of receiving the ball, Chamberlain's step in the frame was wrong.
Cato had also been with the Rockets, so he had a deep influence on Olajuwon's inside footsteps, and knowing that Chamberlain also had similar stunts, he suddenly focused his attention on Chamberlain's next move.
"Huh!"
With his arms outstretched, his head outstretched, and his eyes staring straight ahead, Chamberlain took a shot in front of Cato's sculptural defense, and easily sent the ball into the basket with a hook hand.
Well, Cato came back to life because the basketball that Chamberlain threw landed on his back. Like a robot, he slowly shook his head rhythmically, searching for the object.
The fans at the Amway Centre were shocked to see not a centre-forward, but a person with Alzheimer's disease.
Cato has not been to the Magic for a long time, and there has been no eye-catching performance, and there has been no stable fan base, so after this clumsy performance, what awaits him is a storm of fans.
In the second game after the New Year, the Magic team had a bad start, the main scorer was back two fouls, and the main center was spurned by the fans, and the faces of the Magic players were gloomy for a while.
Against a team that is good at fast breaks, the biggest fear is not that the team can't defend their scores, but that they play with momentum.
The Magic team on the court was gloomy, on the contrary, the supersonic team was like a rainbow for a while.
A wave of 16:0, in the next four minutes, Chamberlain teased futile small sparks, together with Ray Allen, led the team, repeatedly put the basketball into the opponent's basket, expanding the margin on the court to 19 points.
"Tick!"
In the NBA, there are only two timeouts per quarter, and technical fouls are awarded for more than one session. As soon as the supersonic wave of climax came out, Davis, who hesitated when Cato was booed by the fans, instantly strengthened his determination and asked the referee for a timeout.
At this time, he couldn't care about it so much, and he couldn't even worry about it in front of him, how could he have so much time to think about it later.
Anyone who watches the Magic game knows that under normal circumstances, the first three quarters of the game belong to Francis, and if the team does not collapse, then the fourth quarter of the game will be controlled by Grant.
It's not a distrust of Francis, it's that he, an orthodox point guard, is a long way from Grant as a small forward in terms of controlling the team's tempo.
Grant's skill set is rare in NBA history, and in his heyday, he was an all-rounder who could do just about anything a team needed. It was from him that the term "organizational striker" began to circulate. Three pairs are easy for him.
If he cares about his score, then 30 points in a single game can only be regarded as a basic task for him. In the NBA at that time, there were so many people who couldn't defend in a one-on-one situation. One of them is Grant, if there are no injuries......
With Reedno defending, Francis controlled the basketball and swam outside the three-point line, when his good friend Mobley ran over to cover him, and Francis cut to the right.
At this time, Lewis hurriedly made up for it, and Ray Allen was also watching from the side.
But Francis flicked his wrist and split the ball all at once. It was Grant Hill who received the ball.
The moment he received the ball, Grant took a step back with his right foot. Ray Allen's attention was not on him in the first place, and he was suddenly separated by Grantra from the distance between the two people, and by the time Ray Allen reacted, Grant's body had already jumped in the air.
"Huh!"
Although Ray Allen struggled to jump up and block. But looking at Grant, who was getting farther and farther away from him, Ray Allen could only say that there was nothing he could do.
Step-back jumper!
Grant made a drifting step-back shot to pull the Magic back for a three-pointer.
Switching offense and defense, Chamberlain caught a pass from the outside and moved Howard's center of gravity with a side step. Then Chamberlain suddenly returned to his original position, holding the basketball in the air with both hands, his body straightened, and there were slight signs of rotation.
Chamberlain's action shocked Howard, who thought that Chamberlain was going to turn around and shoot on the spot, so he hurriedly forcibly pulled back his center of gravity and re-pasted it.
At the moment when Howard's footsteps moved, Chamberlain suddenly took a big stride to the left, leaned forward and sank sharply, cutting past Howard's side and into the basket like lightning.
There is revenge, there is resentment and complaining. Cato, who was thrown into the face by Chamberlain's play, flashed with bloodthirsty red light in his eyes, and quickly took his place under the basket.
Taking a step forward with his left foot, he struggled on the floor on his toes, lifted his right knee upward, and after doing this series of movements, Chamberlain suddenly stood on the floor again with a huge drop.
At this time, Cato had already jumped up with a roar.
Just standing in place, looking at the soaring Cato for a while, Chamberlain stepped out suddenly, rubbed the calf of the unwilling Cato, and cut into the basket.
