Chapter 321 [Won!] 】

The psychological pressure of the Magic players is too great, and the cheering of the fans outside the stadium has become a burden for them.

Lewis misplaced to face Zhou Xuan, and missed a three-point jumper. Since entering the playoffs, he has been an important scoring point for the Magic, playing well in the first three games, and today he couldn't find his touch, Randolph grabbed the rebound in the backcourt.

The Warriors attacked, and as soon as Zhou Xuan passed the half, Margeti stepped forward to cover and block Alstom.

This made Turkoglu very uncomfortable, he didn't come out, he could prevent Zhou Xuan from shooting on the three-second line, but Zhou Xuan could easily get rid of Alstom, and Margeti also had room to accelerate. Alstom's misplaced defense is no play.

Turkoglou's worries were immediately resolved, as he tried to prevent Zhou Xuan from breaking through near the three-point line, and Randolph pulled out a second cover to help Zhou Xuan get rid of him, and Zhou Xuan broke through from the right side and dribbled to the baseline.

This is forcing Howard to defend himself, if he doesn't come out, Zhou Xuan will be vacant, and his mid-range shot within the three-point line is very accurate. Howard had no choice but to take a step with Zhou Xuan. At this point, Margeti also squeezed Alston out of the way and began to cut to the basket.

Howard knew that Lewis had gone to defend against Marion, and he suddenly remembered the phrase "Behind us, it's Moscow!" But the only way he could think of defending was to chant the spell "Card to Bo and Mo Jie"! (It's a multiple shadow clone, that's what Naruto reads)

Naruto might be able to stop Margety, but Howard can't. Zhou Xuan threw the ball up in the horizontal movement, Margeti jumped up with all his strength under the basket, half-turned in the air to catch the ball with both hands, and dunked it into the frame with his back! 11 to 2.

Zhang Li shouted: "Zhou Xuan staged an empty catch again, Howard's defense was too far away, and Alstom's ball was standing outside without anyone at all." ”

Yu Jia said with a smile: "Even if Alstom follows up, it will be knocked over, and the magic does not use joint defense, and the effect does not look good." ”

Zhang said: "The Warriors played a must-win morale in the opening game, and the Magic only let Howard guard the basket, and everyone else couldn't defend Randolph, and he could only manage one side." And in terms of joint defense, Randolph and Margeti can bully Alston on the perimeter. ”

Howard was distracted while covering his teammates. He's thinking: If I don't score, can anyone else score? How did you win this game?

Even if you look through the history of the NBA, Howard's stats this year are nothing short of radiant, with few players who have reached 20 points, 14 rebounds, 3 blocks and 50% shooting from the field in the past few decades, most notably one being Chamberlain and the other being Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. But in this game, the coach asked him to cover his teammates and focus on the outside.

Tekoglu, who is attacking with the ball, is also distracted, thinking about the big contract he is looking forward to. Once he jumps out of the last year, this loss will be the last game he has played for the Magic. If he gets good data, it will help him to sign, otherwise, it will be very bad. Jackson, who is in charge of defending him, and Marion, who defends him after blocking and pick-and-roll, are both difficult to entangle, and Turkoglu has played mediocre in three games, and this time he wants to ensure efficiency. To ensure efficiency, you can't shoot casually if you don't have a bad chance, so he doesn't attack and gives it to Lewis.

Mr. Key doesn't think the game can be won, and he doesn't want to stand up and take responsibility, and the magic will definitely not play well. In the end, Lewis dared to fight, he was already used to being scolded, and nothing would shake his confidence.

The first moment Lewis is remembered was when he cried in the Little Green Room in 1998, when the Rockets had three first-round picks and vowed to make him a member of the Rockets. Drew's kind of soft white. Americans don't have much of a homeland, and this embarrassing image in China will only mark him as fragile. Coupled with his big forward height, guard weight, and style of floating outside the three-point line, he has a soft name. After that, he tried to prove himself, and when it came to magic, he was labeled as a high-paid and incompetent person.

And in the first month of Lewis' contract, the Magic went 14-3. Orlando fans who were delighted by the victory were willing to praise the star player, but rarely said anything about him. The reason is simple, in this era of cut-ins and inside dunks, a difficult three-pointer is far less impressive than a dunk. Fans love Warcraft's dunks and weirdness more, Nelson's breakthrough with the ball in one, and Tecoglu's sneer after hitting the key shot.

People ignore Lewis, consciously or unconsciously, and often assume "what if Lewis hadn't been given 20 million in the first place". Only in a few moments, such as the final moments of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Cavaliers, when Howard is sent off and the Magic are behind, will they hold their breath and watch him calmly catch the ball, jump, shoot, and score.

In this Finals, this neglected person became the star of the Magic to play the best.

Lewis held the ball on the left side of Marion, leaned two steps, shook his left shoulder lightly, turned to the baseline and shot with one hand, and a decent left wing back singled ball in! 11 to 4.

Lewis was thinking about a way to win, Marion defended the frame attack very well, but the actual height was less than two meters, and the defense was very low. Lewis wasn't good at back-towing, but he chose to try.

The Warriors attacked, and it was another double cover, and this time Zhou Xuan broke through to the right. Howard didn't leave the three-second zone, and Alston dodged Margety's pursuit.

Zhou Xuan used his spare eyes to see Alstom come up, Margeti cut again, Zhou Xuan took the ball to the middle, Howard followed Margeti to the left basket, Alston caught up and blocked in front of Zhou Xuan, but Zhou Xuan did not shoot, but handed the ball to Randolph who cut into the basket on the right side at close range.

Lewis defended with all his might on the flank, but he couldn't stop Randolph from receiving the ball with his back, and the fat man turned to the middle and hit a hook shot. 13 to 4.

Magic offense, Alston and Lewis blocking. The latter received the ball in the middle and stepped outside the three-point line, and made a jump shot, very resolutely, Zhou Xuan couldn't cover it, but the ball was deflected, and the rebound was obtained by Margeti.

The Magic began to guard against Zhou Xuan, and Zhou Xuan began to feed Randolph the ball as he said before the game, allowing him to attack in a dislocated position. Unless Howard defends, Randolph has a physical advantage. Howard defended the out, Margeti relied on the cover to cut inside, and Zhou Xuan and Marion have been on the outside, running along the three-point line to look for opportunities.

Randolph let go, misplaced against Kutenny Lee and Turkoglou, and shot at the top of the arc, scoring 12 points and 6 rebounds in a single quarter.

Zhou Xuan only took two shots under the opponent's strict defense, scored 2 points and handed out 4 assists, and the Warriors led by 15 points 38-23.

Barkley laughed: "Randolph is completely open in this game, this is a good opportunity for him to make a name for himself. It was widely predicted that the Magic would have an interior advantage, but Howard didn't play any better than Randolph. If you can't prevent Randolph, the Magic will definitely lose, I think the remaining suspense is who the MVP will be awarded to, Zach and Zhou Xuan are very stable. ”

Howard hit one of two shots in a single quarter, 1 of 2 free throws, scored 3 points, and the defense also took care of one or the other, and he really couldn't compare to Randolph today.

Kenny? Smith said: "I think it will probably be given to Zhou Xuan, because this time he is likely to break a Finals record, and may even break the Magic's record of 14 assists per game." And he will be the youngest NBA Finals MVP winner in history. He also won the Best Rookie and the MVP of the All-Star Game, which I think can already be compared to many legendary stars. ”

Barkley nodded and said: "Yao Ming is great, but he has not achieved excellent results, and Zhou Xuan has a better chance of becoming a legend of Chinese basketball." ”

In the second quarter, Nelson Sr. fielded Ellis, Morrow, Azubuke, Margetty and Brandon? Wright.

Magic on Nelson, Redick, Petrus, Turkoglou, Tony? Buddy.

"Magic" Johnson puzzled: "What's the situation, Magic didn't let Gortat play?" ”

Jeff? "Maybe the Magic are trying to step up their offense, after all, they're already 15 points behind, so having Barty and Turkoglou pair up on the inside and have a longer range and can shoot threes from the inside," Van Gundy said. Gortat is certainly better defensively, and Barty has more playoff experience. ”

Johnson shook his head and said, "It may be better to arrange the offense in this way, but how to defend against Ellis is a problem." Margeti was also on the court, but Turiaf didn't play and went on Wright, which proves that Nelson Sr. wants to fight for offense, and it's a fast break. ”

The Warriors started to press all over the court in the second quarter, and I don't know if they thought they were the behind side. Nelson Sr. made another surprise move in Game 4, usually he used Turiaf as the primary backup center to strengthen the interior defense, but after three games, he found that except for Howard, the Magic did not have anyone who was good at attacking in the low post.

Barty excels at half-volleys. Gortat's back-to-back interior singles skills need to be improved, although he is explosive, once performing a free-throw line leap over a row of mascots in the German All-Star Slam Dunk Contest......

Both teams are offensive players, with the difference being that the Magic Five are tasked with stealing points, while the Warriors are very relaxed. The Magic five want to ensure the success rate, and the Warriors can play as fast as they can, all of which are 7-second runs, and after the misalignment, they will win the rebound, and Wright will also play fast.

As soon as the mood was relaxed, the hit rate was also high, especially Morrow. He couldn't take too much pressure and went into the playoffs with a number of aberrations, but in the last game he hit a stunning shot to help the team take a 3-0 lead and his confidence instantly improved. He also played very well in this game, receiving a pass from Ellis on the counterattack, hitting a three-pointer, and a driving layup.

Ellis had two beautiful layups, and Margeti broke away for a foul and made one of two free throws. The Warriors went on a 10-2 run to stretch the margin to 23 points.

The Magic only had two points for Tekoglu, and he didn't play very well, changing from "Mr. Key" to "Mr. Stability", passing the ball and passing the ball, and someone in front of him didn't shoot. After playing more than a quarter, he took three shots, and although he made 2 of 3 shots, the team needed more firepower to win.

6 minutes later, the Warriors sent the main force, Zhou Xuan and Ellis double guards, Jackson and Marion swayed forwards, and Randolph centered.

Zhou Xuan came up and scored in the face of Nelson's mid-range shot, and then Randolph scored 4 points in a row from a misposition. Feel hot in the hand.

The Magic's compression defense lost its effect, Lewis and Petrus shot consecutive irons, and the point difference widened and widened, and the Warriors won!
