At halftime, Zhang said reasonably: "Zhou Xuan didn't get any good opportunities in the second quarter, only two assists, I don't know how he will adjust in the second half, I think the old Nelson should consider arranging more pitchers on the periphery, and the Magic will not dare to shrink so hard." ”

Yu Jia said: "Maybe Nelson Sr. is also thinking about who Ellis and Margeti will use. Just looking at the three-point shot, Azubuk is actually stronger than other swing men, and you can consider letting him play a little longer. Ellis has to practice his three-point shooting during the holidays. ”

In the locker room, Nelson Sr. was really struggling, and the person who scored the most was Ellis, who scored 12 points in a single quarter, plus two points in the first quarter, a team-high 14 points. If you replace Ellis and let Azubuke play, you may not be able to shoot three points.

After some consideration, Nelson Sr. continued to let Zhou Xuan and Ellis double guards appear, scramble for rebounds, and play quick counterattacks. "Run, hit as fast as possible, don't wait for them to fall into position, and rush hard after misalignment! If Howard can be fouled, the Magic interior line will not be guaranteed. ”

Turkoglou and Lewis are not too fast, this is the calculation of old Nelson, but in this way, Randolph will become a blue-collar worker.

In the second half, the two guards started, the Warriors began to play fast, Howard returned to the defense very quickly, and the old Nelson's arrangement was exactly what the Magic wanted, and Howard played to his advantage when he misplaced the guards, and three times he fanned the ball out like a volleyball.

Alstom, who had played poorly in the first two games, suddenly came to his senses, shot accurately, scored twice on the counterattack, and assisted Lewis to shoot a three-pointer.

The Magic went on an 11-2 run and the score was stretched. 56 to 65.

Zhang Reasonable said depressedly: "At this time, the Warriors are disrupted, Ellis played well in the first half, and rushed in the second half with his head down, and was covered with two caps, which is too lonely." ”

Yu Jia said: "Ellis may also want to get good statistics, and if the Warriors win the championship, they can compete for MVP, but his style of play is really not good, especially when the Magic shrinks the defense." The Warriors were completely dumb on the outside. And now that the Magic are also holding Zhou Xuan, he can only pass the ball, and the old Nelson asked for a timeout. ”

After the players got off the field, Nelson Sr. didn't criticize Ellis, it was his choice. Knowing that the two of them were not suitable to be present together, he saw that Ellis was in good shape, so he still let him go. During this time, it is better to replace Zhou Xuan to rest for a while, this is a mistake in tactical arrangement.

Now the Warriors need three points, so Nelson Sr. replaced him with Margety.

Zach continued to be low on the left, Stephen (Jackson), Sean (Marion) and him on his side, and Stephen dropped the ball inside. Zach drew the defense and passed to the right, and Zhou moved on the weak side, blocking and looking for opportunities. Corey, your main task is to give Zhou cover, unless you play guard in the wrong position, or in an open position, you have to do it. ”

"Understood." Margeti is colored.

They still have plenty of time to recover, and it won't be easy to get to the fourth quarter. The Magic played very well today, the players kept sharing the ball, reducing the number of rounds, ensuring the success rate, not only the three cores, Alston also performed very well, scoring a lot higher than Zhou Xuan.

Before going on the court, the old Nelson said again: "Zhou, I won't replace you again, pay attention to changing positions when defending, and distribute your physical strength reasonably." ”

"Okay." Zhou Xuan also roughly figured out how to play, as long as Margeti was on one side with him, he passed the ball after attracting the bag, Margeti's long-range shot was slightly worse, and his mid-range shot was still very sure, and he could use his body to create shooting space for himself.

Ellis sat on the court and wiped his sweat silently, it is difficult for the double guard to win, and he has long known it, the two are not bad at breaking through, but it is more suitable for the swing man who has height, can shoot three-pointers, and can misplace the defense. Two people with a height of 190CM will suffer a lot if they can't shoot from the outside.

Barkley said: "Ellis is down, the Warriors are definitely going to have to lower the tempo, and that's right, you can't take advantage of the Magic playing fast, and the breakthrough is not a good option, you have to avoid Howard." He has covered 5 caps today. ”

Smith said: "Although the difference is nine points, there is still plenty of time, and a team like the Warriors, the difference of more than a dozen points may be recovered in a few rounds." Now what they need is outside shooting, and the role players have a terrible hand. The three-point shooting of Morrow and Duby in the regular season was impressive, but it was judged that they were two in the playoffs, and it would be nice if they could play at a high level. ”

Barkley smiled: "Mentality, after all, it's the first time to play in the playoffs, not everyone is as good as Zhou Xuan's mental quality." Of course, he also exposed some of his weaknesses, such as breaking the bag. If he doesn't have someone on his side who is good at shooting, he can't attack on his own, and his passing reduces the threat. ”

Zhou Xuan controls the ball, and the main defender is still Alston. He was in great shape in this game, squeezing Nelson firmly onto the bench.

Brought to the frontcourt, the players pulled away, Zhou Xuan passed to Jackson on the left, according to the tactical arrangement, he and Marion, Randolph formed a triangle with each other, Zhou Xuan stood on the right side and waited for the opportunity.

Jackson gave the ball to Randolph, and the fat man leaned his back against Howard and turned around in the middle. Off the field, he had already discussed it with Zhou Xuan, so he observed the right side with the rest of his eyes, and just when he turned around, Zhou Xuan and Margeti ran to the bottom line without the ball cover.

Turkoglou was a little slow to change and Randolph passed the ball over.

Zhou Xuan immediately stopped his shot after receiving the ball, and Tekoglu didn't expect him to be so resolute from the side, and he jumped late. The ball has a good arc and is hollow into the net. 58 to 65. 8th individual point.

Zhang Li shouted: "Good ball! At the critical moment, Zhou Xuan still had to stand up, he didn't score much today, I don't know if he can find the feel of this ball. ”

Yu Jia said: "As long as the Magic is not trapped, I believe he can score." ”

Magic attacked, and Zhou Xuan followed Alstom. Although the opponent scored a lot of points, the actual number of matches between the two was pitiful. One of them likes to be misplaced, and the other is not the main point of attack.

The Street Ball King passed the ball to Petrus, who and Tekoglu blocked and faced Marion. Outside Tekoglu was targeted by Margeti, and there were no good chances. The ball shifted several times, and with 24 seconds to go, Lewis and Alston blocked the chance. Alston catches the ball and bursts inside and throws it in front of Jackson. 58 to 67.

Everyone has a time when they play extraordinary. Alston is not without 20+10, last season in the Rockets, he shot many three-pointers against the Lakers away, cut 30+ to help the team win in a row, and the nerves were unexpected.

Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball across the half, coordinated with Margeti on the right side, and avoided Alstom. The Magic's defensive center of gravity has been drawn to the left. The man who switched the guard was Lewis.

Zhou Xuan knew that the Magic's two forwards were not very strong defensively, and his speed was absolutely superior.

He took it close to the baseline, dribbled with his right hand behind his back and took a step to his left hand. This step is not to seek to pass, but to attract Alstom's pursuit. Margeti said that it is good to stand on the perimeter to attract the defense, and there will be no empty cuts, and there will definitely be gaps in the pursuit of the defense.

Alston didn't chase Zhou Xuan, and went around to prevent him from passing. Zhou Xuan didn't pass, the crotch dribbled violently and the right hand broke through to the bottom line, this step point was just right, it was when Lewis's center of gravity moved and his right foot landed.

"I don't believe you can keep up with me!" Zhou Xuan shouted in his heart, rushing to the bottom line, Lewis could only turn around and chase after him.

Zhou Xuan rushed to the basket, and Howard released Randolph to block the breakthrough route.

As long as you dare to go to the basket, see if I don't cap you. Howard confidently blocked all shooting angles, and his bounce speed was not comparable to Zhou Xuan. But Zhou Xuan made a choice that he didn't expect, jumped out of bounds with the ball in three steps, and passed the ball from Howard's side to the other side.

Randolph received the ball in the open space outside the three-second zone, no one could make up the defense, Marion ran at 60 degrees, and Jackson went to the middle to attract the defenders. Randolph makes a jumper and the ball goes in. 60-67, Zhou Xuan's 7th personal assist.

"Magic" Johnson said: "It's a very creative pass, he's a risky pass, he jumps out of bounds and is prone to mistakes when somebody blocks the pass. ”

Mark? Jackson smiled: "I don't think so, Zhou Xuan must have a second choice, if he can't pass it, he will throw the ball towards Howard." ”

The Magic attacked, and the non-stop passing from the perimeter, and both sides scored less in this game because of the small number of rounds. The slow play of the magic can ensure the speed of the defense. It's the rhythm they like now, and I really don't know how an impatient guy like Van Gundy can coach a calm and chronic sub-team.

This time, the role of the three swingmen came into play, and they kept in front of their opponents, and Turkoglu saw that the time was almost up, and singled Margeti to hit the iron with a pull-up jumper.

The Warriors are also starting to slow down and try to be steady. Zhou Xuan played with Margeti on the side, and Lewis couldn't shrink into the three-second zone, so he hurried to prevent it. Zhou Xuan moved sideways with the ball, and then accelerated to the bottom line. As soon as Lewis followed, Zhou Xuan's ball was passed back to 45 degrees, and Margeti received the ball with his back against Alstom, turned to the middle and threw it with one hand. Marion's usual tricks he will too, but Howard is far away and can't cover it. 62 to 67. Personally eighth assist.

The Magic attack, the ball is still passed on the perimeter.

Barkley said: "Howard is now focused on the defensive end, and he doesn't receive the ball on the offensive end, just grabbing rebounds and blocking and pick-and-rolls, so it's really a bigger threat than hanging inside. This just shows that he is really not a dominant center on the offensive end. ”

Just when "Big Mouth" was evaluating Howard, the Magic made a mistake, and after the pick-and-roll, Petrus tried to pass the ball to Turkoglou, but Jackson saw the opportunity and slapped the basketball. Zhou Xuan immediately killed out of the city. Jackson passed to him, Zhou Xuan rushed on the right side, took the ball and walked to the middle, Alston was afraid of a foul, and directly dodged, Zhou Xuan scored an easy layup, his 10th point, 64-67.
