Zhang Li said with a smile: "As soon as the speed drops, the Warriors' score will be recovered, and the scores of the two sides are close, which is good-looking." ”

Yu Jia said: "Zhou Xuan has 10 points and 8 assists. Let's see if we can prevent it next, and the Magic's shooting percentage is not low today. ”

Howard went to the middle to block first, then went inside, and made another cover for Lewis on the baseline, helping Lewis run to the left.

Randolph knew that he couldn't let go of the pitcher, so he went out to talk to Lewis, the inside line was empty, Turkoglu passed the ball to the middle, and before Howard could take the ball and turn around, Marion was fouled.

Howard went to the free throw line and made one of two free throws. 64 to 68. It doesn't matter if it's misplaced, it's a direct foul.

Zhou Xuan led the half, gestured to his teammates, and changed his position.

If a set of tactics is not finished, the opponent will adapt to it at most three times, unless he is a super scorer and has strong individual ability to score consecutive points in a way. Such a person is a Randolph, and he is also taken care of by Howard. Therefore, only running and non-stop blocking and dismantling is the right way, and the Warriors players also know that as long as they run out of the open position, Zhou Xuan will pass the ball over.

Zhou Xuan didn't know that he was approaching a magical record. Since the NBA allowed joint defense, it's getting harder and harder for point guards to get more assists in the playoffs. Whether it is Kidd who entered the Finals twice in the Nets or Stockton who entered the Finals twice, the statistics are not as beautiful as Zhou Xuan.

Magic is still joint defense, Zhou Xuan blocked and dismantled Marion in the middle and then blocked and dismantled with Randolph for the second time, dribbling the ball to the bottom corner, Howard did not change defense on the inside, Magic accelerated the rotation change, and Zhou Xuan passed the ball to Randolph.

Randolph received the ball and leaned on Lewis to turn to the right, with his right foot as the axis, took a step with his left foot and retracted, and took a step in the opposite direction, and made a jumper. Lewis is shaken off and the ball goes in! 66 to 68.

Big Van Gundy watched the situation nervously from the sidelines, not because the Magic didn't defend well, but because the Warriors were too strong offensively. Whether it's teamwork or individual ability, they all have a way to score.

Magic attack, Turkoglu catches the ball at the top of the arc. With the Turks present, Alston can't take on the task of playmaking, just running and ready to shoot threes. As a playmaker, Turkoglou has never had the experience of getting along with any playmaking guard, and on his team, point guards are often played as shooters.

In the finals, Turkoglou's embarrassment was already on display, he was a big man pitcher, relying on his height advantage to organize at the top of the arc, looking for passing opportunities. He is familiar with the tactics of the Magic and can only deliver a lot of assists with his teammates, but the Warriors' defensive ability is very strong after the swingman is misplaced, and his assists are reduced, and he can't pass Zhou Xuan, and he can't pass Marion after covering. Facing the Warriors is not like playing against the Celtics, the Cavaliers, the two teams who switch guards are "big baby" Davis and Vallejo, and the speed is much slower.

In the face of Zhou Xuan, Turkoglu couldn't even easily carry the ball to the frame, Zhou Xuan's small steps were too fast, and the center of gravity of Turkoglu with the ball was too high, and the frame felt like it was in danger of being stolen. And Zhou Xuan's judgment was accurate, no matter what he did, he could block in front of him. His defense, already aggressive.

No way, after a few dribbles, Turkoglu passed the ball to Petrus on the periphery. Petrus didn't play well today, he was a member of the Black Eight Miracle Warriors that year, tough defensively, and Jackson's backup. The two know each other, and Jackson's defense against Petrus is all about his weaknesses. His main score came from the outside jumper, Jackson followed closely, making it difficult for him to shoot, and Jackson was able to use his height advantage to interfere and block singles.

When Petrus met his nemesis, the Magic's best sixth man couldn't play, and he subconsciously felt that he was inferior to Jackson and lacked confidence. Passing the ball again, 24 seconds are almost exhausted. Lewis singled out Margeti and missed a step-back jumper. Marion grabbed the rebound in the backcourt.

The Warriors attacked, Zhou Xuan and Marion blocked and dismantled, broke through on the right side, Margeti and Randolph cut to the basket without the ball, Turkoglu followed Margeti to the left, and Howard and Randolph were in the middle. Zhou Xuan faced Lewis and retreated and passed to Marion, who cut into the low post on the right.

Alston switched defenses, what he was most afraid of was the opponent's back, and Marion's low back was an important means of scoring, he immediately turned to the bottom line and pressed Alston to throw the ball with one hand. 68 to 68.

Zhou Xuan had his 9th assist, and the two sides were back on the same running line again, and Big Van Gundy asked for a timeout.

Van Gundy Jr. commented: "Marion's role in the Warriors is very crucial, and after this season, I think he deserves another big contract, but the Warriors' salary space is a little tight, and I don't know if he will be kept." I think for the future, the Warriors will pay the luxury tax, and they will also consider staying in Marion. ”

Joan Barry said: "Indeed, Marion's stats have declined in the last two years, and many people think that his strength is average, but they forget that he has ranked 20th in the league in blocks, steals, and rebounds for two consecutive years. With the Suns, his average per game has always been fixed at around 18 points and 10 boards, and his shooting percentage and free throw shooting percentage are not bad. And his greatest strength is the ability to defend opponents from the No. 1 to No. 4 positions. ”

"Magic" Johnson said: "I agree, Randolph and Biedrins didn't work well together, and the Warriors only officially rose after Marion joined. Biedrins had a double-double with the Raptors, but he wasn't as effective as Marion. Marion is also very efficient at rebounding, and if you look at him as a small forward, then he is the most efficient in the league. He's a free agent at the end of the season and there will definitely be a lot of teams interested. ”

Big Van Gundy emphasized the defensive system, not fixed positions, had to speed up the rotation, and Howard couldn't stay too far from the basket.

Nelson Sr. was encouraging the players. "We can win, let go of the fight, don't just fall into the position, have a chance to counterattack, if you don't have a chance to slow down the tempo again, Zhou, Corey, and Stephen should pay attention to hurry, especially Cory, your impact is better than Tekoglu."

Margeti nodded.

The game started quickly, and the Magic attacked. Howard still covered on the perimeter, and then went to the inside to cut into the air, Randolph blocked the breakthrough, and immediately returned to the interior to resist Howard. Alston passed, Howard was already deep into the basket, and Jackson let go of Petrus's bag.

Because the Warriors' formation shrank, it was like four people surrounded Howard near the reasonable collision zone. In this case, Howard still chose to shoot strongly, blocking from three directions with three hands, no cap, but Howard was interfered with and missed the shot, he jumped continuously to grab the rebound with one hand and then make up the basket, but still missed. Randolph grabbed the rebound.

Played 4 rounds, and both sides shot iron.

After the Magic blocked and dismantled, Howard caught the ball in the air and immediately got into the trap. This time Howard passed the ball and looked for Petrus on the outside, and Zhou Xuan saw the bottom line clearly, let go of Alstom, and killed from the side.

During the run, Zhou Xuan calculated the speed of Petrus, if it was to pass after taking the ball, it would take some time, and others could return to defense, but accelerating in a straight line, he was faster than Petrus. When reaching out to break Howard's pass, Zhou Xuan used a personal action that people didn't expect, lifting the ball up with one hand and flying over Petrus's head. Petrus thought it was a pass, but he was stunned for a moment and turned slowly, Zhou Xuan passed by him quickly, and chased at full speed.

Zhou Xuan got the basketball first and rushed to the three-point line, he knew that Petrus was behind him, turned his head and glanced at it with the rest of his eyes, Margeti shook off Turkoglu behind, and Alston followed Jackson on the side.

If Margeti is given and there is a pause in the ball, Tekoglu can catch up with the interference and must be picked up empty. Zhou Xuan jumped up with the ball and threw the ball backwards and high, very light, just a little up the basket. Paul and Chandler used this kind of open pick, he remembered, he practiced it in the team, and with Margety's bounce, he believed he could get it.

Petrus jumped up from behind to block, but it was such a pass that flew past. Margeti followed up in the middle, jumped up with all his might, got his hands on the ball as it fell, and scored with both hands.

He was explosive, moving at high speed, kicking his back leg almost as high as the rebound, and making an exaggerated "swing" and falling to the ground. 70 to 68. Zhou Xuan's 10th assist.

"Another wonderful goal, the Warriors overcome." Barkley shouted.

Smith said: "Howard, the league's No. 1 center, is not far behind O'Neal, Olajuwon and others, he rarely sends beautiful passes when he is trapped, and there is no feint in that direction, the intention is too obvious." In the finals, he improved his assists and turnovers, averaging nearly 5 turnovers per game, and this game is not over, and it is 3 again. ”

Alston broke through to the front court, and prepared to repeat the old trick of Zhou Xuan to repeat the streetball feint of using that fake throw, Zhou Xuan also made a feint, his feet did not move, his shoulder shook slightly to the right, Als changed direction to break through to the middle, and Zhou Xuan immediately followed.

Alstom's feints didn't work, so he had to pass the ball, Lewis and Howard blocked, and singled Randolph on the inside, the fat man just blocked it and went inside to defend, Jackson chased the defense from the side, Lewis gave it to Petrus, and Marion, who was blocked, switched defenses. Petrus dribbled the ball two steps to Turkoglou, and Zhou Xuan changed defenses.

Not to mention professionals, even fans can see that the Magic are playing very hard, there are no vacant shooting opportunities, and the interior line can't open up space, there is always someone standing under the basket. The main reason is that Howard is not like Randolph, he can't make consistent shots.

Turkoglu received the ball and was close to Zhou Xuan, hit it with his body, Zhou Xuan's right elbow set up a block, and immediately let go and blocked the breakthrough route with his body and right leg, Turkoglu turned to the right, Zhou Xuan took a step sideways, and blocked the breakthrough route with his left leg, and the anxious Turkoglu sweated all over.

In the middle, Howard and Petrus screened, Howard was put two steps away by Jackson, Turkoglu passed, Howard took aim and shot, the ball bounced on the basket and finally went in. 70 to 70.

Howard ran back with a smile after the goal, and this smile was very demoralizing, and at first glance it seemed that he was complacent about scoring a goal.
