Nelson Sr. repeatedly emphasized "running up" before the game, and positional warfare was no exception.

If Morrow just stays in the bottom corner and is a pure pitcher, although the shooting percentage is good, it is not a big threat. In fact, his ability is not only that, he averaged more than 20 points per game in the summer league, and he didn't rely on shooting three-pointers. Azubuk also began to intersperse runs, entering the inside line and then running back to catch the ball.

The Warriors recognized the characteristics of the Magic through the last game, Howard has more blocks and rebounds, but there is a problem, he especially likes to stay under the basket, and he is not particularly active when he is running and blocking. To put it bluntly, he's addicted to grabbing rebounds.

The main point of the Warriors' style of play is to avoid Howard and let him stay under the basket, and Biedrins also pulls outside to cover, not to score, but to block the opposing outside defender.

Nelson Sr. is an excellent coach who is especially good at playing the characteristics and strengths of his players, so the Warriors can often turn some players who are not favored into rare treasures. Against the Magic, he knew that he would not be able to win by fighting defense, so he could only use offense to solve the problem.

On the defensive end, Nelson Sr. discharged 32 joint defenses, the main defense on the outside, and the inside line left one of Biedrins, Randolph and Howard "top bull". Howard's ability to attract packs in the low post is not as good as Yao Ming's, and he averages more points per game than Yao Ming because he is often "chopped" and gets a lot of free throws. There will be no team to cut Yao Ming, that is to give away points.

The Magic perimeter was heavily guarded, and Turkoglu became the heart of the offense, holding the ball on the perimeter, shooting or passing. Last season, a lot of people talked about who was the core of the Magic's offense, and the answer was Turkoglou.

And the offensive core of the Warriors is, of course, Zhou Xuan. As soon as Morrow and Azubuke run back, Zhou Xuan's pass will pass, as long as Nelson changes defense, he will definitely get a shooting opportunity. After Randolph and Biedrins blocked and dropped the low-post offense from the perimeter, the Warriors were quicker to return to the defense.

The last time they played Magic, they lost very neatly, and after changing the style of play, the two teams became evenly matched. At 27-26 in the first quarter, the Warriors led by one point.

Zhou Xuan scored another shot, scoring 7 points and 4 assists. Howard scored 12 points and 6 rebounds. He didn't know what to do, this is also Nelson Sr.'s plan, let Howard shoot as much as possible, disrupt the shooting feel of the outside players, and when it starts to "cut Huo", if the Magic outside people can't stand up, they can take the initiative.

In the second quarter of the game, the Magic substitution, the inside line Marsin? Gortat and Tony? Barty was in charge, Petrus was small forward, Bogans was a cameo point guard, and the shooting guard was Redick.

Redick is very capable individually, and it's strange that Big Van Gundy just doesn't like him, so he only lets him play off the bench for a while, or as a pure pitcher.

The Magic lack people who can attack with the ball, the Warriors offense is not very good, Bogans guards Watson tightly, and after Azubuike enters the starting lineup, the No. 2 bench can only let DeMarcus? Nielsen is on it, he's just an add-on, and he's average in every way. Turyaf and Corinth are also blue-collar and only Anthony? Randolph played well.

Nelson Sr. has given Randolph Jr. a lot of opportunities lately, and he likes his height and athleticism, and he can play a role in run-and-gun tactics. Brandon? Wright was drafted with the No. 8 pick that year, and in exchange for the Warriors, high hopes were placed on him, and he couldn't play for more than a season, and he couldn't see any improvement, and the coaching staff had lost patience with him.

The substitutes took turns striking iron. Off the court, the elder Nelson said to Zhou Xuan: "If you play against Nelson again in a while, you can make a bold shot when you have the opportunity, and if it is Bogans and Lee defending you, pass the ball." Today we're going to try to win, you only have six minutes to rest, be careful not to foul, I want you to play the whole second half and disrupt their defence. ”

The substitutes played for a while and were still tied, and when the Magic breakthrough was vacant, Collins and Nelson did not hesitate to foul, and the tactics arranged by the coach for them were fouls. By the time the two sides switched to the main force, the Warriors had committed exactly four times.

Nelson Sr. wasn't in a hurry to bring on Zach? Randolph and Biedrins, Jean Turyaf and Anthony? Randolph continued to fight, and by this time the intention was already obvious, but Big Van Gundy had not yet realized it, and sent Howard.

The Magic offense is still inside the pass, as soon as Lewis hangs Howard, Randolph Jr. fouls and pulls the monster directly, and the referee blows the whistle and makes free throws.

Howard went to the free throw line, hit one of two free throws, Turyaf took the backcourt rebound, handed it to Zhou Xuan's organization, and brought it to the frontcourt. Watching the situation is to fight for frontcourt rebounds, and the Warriors players are pulling away.

Bogans is still on the court, defending Morrow, who scored a lot of points before, and Nelson defending Zhou Xuan, the shortest of the Warriors.

This guy is not slow, his body is strong, he is short, if he wants to hit him, he has to make a bold shot, Zhou Xuan faced Nelson's defense, took two steps to the left side and turned to face the frame, pretending to pass the inside line, pull it up and shoot, after all of them were pulled away, the warriors were tantamount to giving up tactics and playing alone with personal ability.

Their plan is to attack Nielsen. Zhou Xuan is 189CM tall, and his height advantage is enough for him to avoid Nelson's block, and he shoots very resolutely and hits three-point shots! 42 to 38.

The Magic counterattacked, the Warriors fell into a joint defense again, and Lewis covered Nelson to get him back. Nelson misplaced Turyaf, and before he could show his passing ability, the referee's whistle sounded again, and it was Randolph Jr. who fouled him, and Howard made free throws.

It doesn't matter if Howard makes free throws, during this time the old Nelson also has a purpose to make the magic have no shooting opportunities, these people have just played after half a quarter, and it is the time to find a feel, if you don't shoot, just watch Howard make free throws, and wait for halftime to rest for another 15 minutes, the feeling is easily affected.

Standing at the free throw line, Howard also understood the opponent's purpose. He was engrossed in staring at the basket, directly opposite him was a group of fans waving glow sticks and booing, he was under a lot of pressure, the first free throw was very bad, the second free throw was positive, and the force was not large, but he still came out after two times on the basket, and the rebound was obtained by Randolph Jr.

The Warriors are still the old tactics, singles on the outside, grabbing rebounds on the inside, Zhou Xuan hit Nelson again, missed the pull-up jump shot inside the three-point line, the rebound was picked up by Howard and passed to Turkogru, Turkoglu just passed the ball to the frontcourt to launch a counterattack, the referee's whistle sounded again, Turyaf fouled Howard without the ball and made free throws.

They are ready to foul when they stand under the blue, and if they can't grab rebounds, they have a way to make the Magic unable to play fast, and no matter how fast they run, it's useless. At this time, it was very demoralizing for the players who hedged to the frontcourt, and Howard suffered the same embarrassment as O'Neal back then.

The Warriors waited for these two to foul too much, and Zach? Randolph, Biedrins, and Wright are three insiders. Wright doesn't have much playing time, and he has to make as many offenses as he comes.

Howard made one of two free throws to make it 42-39. Warcraft's free throws are very inconsistent, shooting 57% from the field, but sometimes they are accurate, like the last game where 14 of 18 free throws killed the Spurs, but today his free throws are at a level. The Magic are also playing on the road in the West, and their form has suffered.

Big Van Gundy can't do anything about this tactic, unless Howard is replaced, then the Magic's interior defense will have to go to the next level, who will guard Zack? What about Randolph? Zhou Xuan took half the court again, this time he passed to Azubuke first, and then ran to the right side with Randolph's off-ball cover, Azubuuk hit the ground and passed to Zhou Xuan, forming a misplaced play Lewis.

Randolph Jr. saw Zhou Xuan receive the ball and immediately cut into the basket, and when he reached the right side of the low post, Howard went to the basket to resist Randolph. Zhou Xuan immediately thought of a question, who is defending against Turiav? He dribbled the ball under his crotch and walked with his left hand in the middle, which was a surprise because Bogans was over there and Lewis was also on his side, so he was looking for a bag.

What's even more surprising is that Zhou Xuan pulled the ball up, looked in the direction of Little Randolph, and withdrew his hands before and after the two of them were formed and threw the ball high.

Turyaf on the left is already empty, Howard can only manage one person, and then turn around and want to help defend successfully, and the speed of 100 meters is not as fast as Bolt. Turyaf jumped up with all his might, received the basketball, and dunked the basketball with both hands. 44 to 39.

The goal set the crowd on fire, with the fans giving a standing ovation for the brilliant goal. The Magic position attacked, the rhythm was a little messy, Nelson passed to Turkoglou, perhaps worried that Howard would be "cut" again, he faced Azubuke to take advantage of the height advantage and shoot directly, dodging the block but missing.

Howard is a man and the Warriors are two big men, and Turiaf is only responsible for blocking people and leaking the water that is blocked on the inside. Randolph Jr. grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed to Azubuike, who threw it to the frontcourt, Zhou Xuan received the ball and shook it outside the three-point line, dotted Nelson, and then burst into the three-point line and hit a pull-up jump shot. 46 to 39.

Zhou Xuan's hand felt great today, and he won the data of the entire game in the past before the half.

The Warriors scored one after another, but Van Gundy didn't call a timeout, and he thought the best way to break the Warriors' tactics at this time was for Howard to score the ball. After receiving the ball, Lewis singled Randolph Jr., changed direction with the ball on the outside, shook a little space and didn't score a jumper, Howard grabbed the rebound in the frontcourt, Turiaf didn't wait for him to be strong, and pulled people to foul again.

Howard was very depressed, stood on the free throw line with a sad face, made his strength bigger, missed both free throws, and the rebound was taken by Randolph Jr.

In the battle of the warriors' position, Randolph Jr. pulled it out again to cover Zhou Xuan, and the two of them dismantled as soon as they blocked it. Zhou Xuan passes the ball to Randolph in the middle, and his shot can't be like Zach? Randolph is so accurate, but he is faster, he takes three steps with the ball, and attacks the basket directly, actually trying to dunk Howard on the head, which is a famous shortcut.

How could Howard let this "rookie" get his wish, immediately let go of Turyaf's defense, jumped up on the line of the reasonable collision zone, like a divine soldier descending from the sky, his hands on Randolph's hands, and a volleyball net action pressed the opponent from the air with the ball.

Little Randolph fell heavily to the ground, and the referee did not blow the whistle, good block!

Zhou Xuan expected that Randolph might be covered, so he ran behind him in time, and when Howard landed, he picked up the basketball one step ahead of Bogans, and quickly lowered the basketball in the middle. Howard landed and almost stepped on Randolph, but was blocked and couldn't get up again. 48 to 39.

The Warriors broke down the Magic defense, Stan? Seeing that the situation was not good, Van Gundy finally asked for a timeout.
