Chapter 133: Opening Cap
Darko's eyes turned red when he heard this, and he nodded:
"Coach, I want to play, give me a chance!"
Van Gundy hesitated and nodded. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After Howard and Darko left, Coach Van Gundy said to Sean: "It's probably counterproductive for you to do this, an inside line is not developed so quickly, he is still too young and needs to adapt constantly." ”
Although Darko was drafted in '03, he was relatively young, only a year older than Sean this year, and if he was calculated according to the mature age of the center, Darko was indeed very, very young.
Sean smiled: "Don't worry, Coach, Howard and I will help him." ”
Van Gundy nodded and didn't say anything more.
It's just a regular season, and even if you lose, it's nothing. What's more, against the Pistons, who have the best record this year, it is normal for the Magic team to lose even if it loses, and this year's playoffs The Magic team is mainly practice, not really trying to achieve anything in the playoffs.
The team now has a combination of Sean and Howard inside and outside, and as long as they find some standout role players, they will definitely have a breakthrough in their record.
As a result, Van Gundy was careful about his attitude towards Howard and Sean Lee.
It can be said that with sparks, the Magic team is a strong team, and it is easy to build a strong defense, and with Sean in the Magic team, it will be a championship-level strong team, and one of the two determines the team's lower limit and one determines the team's upper limit.
The game begins.
Howard jumps the ball successfully.
The first ball, Howard asked for the ball in a crazy card position under the basket, Sean saw this and did not force Billups, but gave a steady drop ball to Howard, Howard singled inside, was pushed hard by Ben Wallace, and it had no effect on hitting it twice, and Howard gently hooked his hand.
The hook hand looked miserable, stiff as an iron lump.
As a result, the basketball slid off the basket with a jolt, and finally Benhua Leika jumped up to rebound.
The first goal, Howard didn't score.
It's embarrassing.
Howard has increased his average points per game this season after Sean came, but he is still not open at all on offense, it can be said that there is no progress at all, and the offensive skills on the inside are very poor, even the hook is not effective.
Offense and defense switched, and the Pistons were slow to organize the offense.
Billups is the Finals MVP winner, and although he is often mistaken for a blue-collar point guard, Billups has a very good control of the tempo, and Billups and Jason Kidd have completely different skills.
Jason Kidd has a better defense, better passing, and a better grasp of offense, while Billups is excellent defensively and has a good projection.
Jason Kidd's passing can directly find the best position and directly form an offense, and the players who are with Jason Kidd, as long as they are willing to run and jump and shoot, the data will increase greatly, but Billups's teammates, if their personal ability is not strong, it is difficult to get good data, this is the difference between the two.
Sean is more of a projector Jason Kidd, with a completely different character from Billups.
For the first ball, Billups didn't pass the ball and chose to hit Sean hard.
In fact, the last time the two faced off, Billups played Shaun very hard, and he was almost suppressed in the court. Billups is similar in size to Jason Kidd, with a lot of strength, and a misplaced defensive point guard and a small number of small forwards are not left behind, so when he beats Sean, he is mainly based on strength.
Sean has played against many of these point guards, so he naturally knows how to deal with them.
On the first ball, Billups carried Sean to the basket, Sean followed slowly, without using strength to fight, and when Billups jumped, Sean had already prepared a jump block, and Stephenson got the basketball directly.
The Magic attack.
Sean's defense isn't quite an all-around perimeter, but he's already very strong. Billups' singles this time was expected by Sean, because Billups had no other options other than mid-range shots. When it comes to getting to the basket, whether it's Darko or Howard to help defend, Billups will have a hard time and his shooting percentage drops dramatically, so the only option is to rely on his power to squeeze out of position and shoot quickly at mid-range.
The speed of such a shot is generally slow.
Sean doesn't care about Billups getting into the basket at all, and his defense is mid-range shooting, so it can be said that he was prepared early.
In the Magic team, Sean is the beneficiary of defensive tactics, and this block is not so much about Sean's own defensive ability, but because the Magic team's deterrent power under the basket is too strong, so Sean can easily get this opportunity.
If the Magic's interior defense is weak enough to explode, Billups will really go straight to the basket and force a shot directly under the basket, which will be difficult for Sean to block.
The Magic team attacked, Sean changed hands under the crotch and broke through Billups, this ball had a very good rhythm, Billups was very powerful, but the speed was slightly worse, and Sean broke through soon after accelerating.
Rasheed Wallace quickly assisted, Sean made a shot, and then made a direct pass to Darko, who made a light cricket basketball from close range into the frame.
Ben Wallace and Howard are still working hard under the basket, Rasheed Wallace against Darko has a helping defense Sean, and there is no one else around Darko, and there is obviously no vacancy, there is no way at all. The Pistons are strong defensively, but this is also relatively speaking, Hamilton is also in the running circle to help defend Darko, but neither the timing of Sean's pass nor the speed of Darko's shot makes Hamilton powerless.
Basketball is a sport with a strong offense, and defense can only hinder shooting percentage, and it is simply impossible to completely prevent scoring.
In this case, there is simply nothing to be done.
The Pistons attacked.
Billups used the pick-and-roll to get Stephenson's defense and passed to Prince, who couldn't get in at all in the face of Sean's misalignment and had to pass to Hamilton. That's when Kenyandurin was bad, not following closely at all, Hamilton ran to the open space and hit a mid-range shot.
This is also a common routine for the Pistons.
The Magic attacked, and Sean hit a three-pointer.
The Pistons attacked, and Rasheed Wallace hit a straight shot.
The two sides went back and forth, and the shooting percentage was high in the first quarter.
But in the second quarter, the gap began to widen.
The Pistons have significantly tightened up their defense against Sean and loosened their defense against Stephenson and Kenyon Dulin, and if Kenyon Doolin and Stephenson are good role players, this level of relaxation is simply a Magic sendaway.
But...... Stephenson's shooting is sometimes a matter of feel, and this game is a 2-0 in a row to pit his teammates.
Kenyon Dulin was similar, shooting once and then breaking through to the basket for offense, which was blocked by Rasheed Wallace. Kenyon Durin doesn't have Sean's vision and passing ability, and it's impossible to make a good pass after attracting the defense.
The Magic's perimeter line quickly showed signs of decline.
In this case, Sean directly called Darko when he received the ball, saying:
"Wait a minute, you stand in the high position and hold the ball, you do the core and do a good job of attacking and distributing the ball, and everyone will believe in you."
