After the timeout, both sides switched to the main force.

Shabazz Napier, who has already scored 12 points, continues to play, and it is clear that the Magic want him to continue to shine while playing in shape.

Fournier, on the other hand, finally got time to rest. Even though he doesn't have a lot of shots on the court, it takes physical strength to keep running back and forth.

A perverted physicality like LeBron James, it's enough to play the whole court without stopping for a minute. What's more, Fournier didn't have that kind of body yet, so he could catch his breath.

The Magic have Devin Marble in the No. 2 position, and apparently Magic head coach Skels is still looking for a guy who can limit the wind.

Victor Oladipo can't, and neither does Mario Herzonia.

Marbur, who is six feet six inches tall and weighs two hundred pounds in the standard point guard build, doesn't know if he can do it.

However, Skels' attempt also ended in failure.

Marbur was also just a sophomore rookie, with little defensive experience, and he was almost on the verge of losing the election that year, and his physical fitness was not outstanding.

For Yi Feng, Mabur's presence made it easier for him to score.

At this moment, the head coach of the Magic team, Skels, is facing the same problem as the head coaches of the teams that the Lakers have played against before-

How exactly should Yi Feng defend?

Stronger than him, not as agile as him, not as fast as him, faster than him, more flexible than him......

So far, there doesn't seem to be a second player in the league who is faster and more agile than Yi Feng.

Those taller than him can't prevent his breakaway, and those who are shorter than him can't prevent his shots......

Unconsciously, Yi Feng has gradually had the prototype of an unsolvable attack.

Although many teams have made the study of Yifeng a topic, it seems that no effective defensive strategy has been developed so far.

And now what makes Skels even more troublesome is that Yi Feng is not only a simple scorer, but also passes the ball to teammates in better positions when he is feeling hot.

It's not scary to have only one person score, it's scary that he uses his deterrence to drive his teammates to score while scoring!

The taste of more flowering and ten thousand arrows piercing the heart is not pleasant.

After the main lineup came up, under the leadership of Yi Feng, the Lakers once again opened up the point difference.

At 50:45, the Magic fell behind at home again.

Skels called a timeout decisively, and after snarling at his disciples for a while, he replaced Fournier, who had not caught his breath. Channing Frye also topped the No. 3 position.

In this way, with the addition of playmaking guard Shabazz Napier, power forward Tobias Harris, and center Nikola Vucevic, the Magic's lineup can be called the ultimate offensive lineup, which is simply off the line!

Skyles' approach is a bit crazy, since he knows that he can't prevent it, then he will fight against it!

Come on!

Hurt each other!

Skyles ripped off his Armani suit and walked around the sidelines restlessly.

Seeing that the opponent was a white European, Yi Feng didn't care too much.

Starting with Oladipo at the beginning, the Magic has changed wave after wave of players who have come on to defend him.

What Mario was the most annoying thing before, until now Yi Feng has not completely deflated.

After running out of the open space through tactics, Yi Feng was unrelenting, jumped up from outside the three-point line, and hit the ball steadily.

It was his 18th point of the first half. And his scoring performance wasn't over yet.

Fournier hit Fournier with his back in the low post, shook it off with a feint of turning and shooting, and then stepped to the right with his right foot and jumped on one foot to shoot the basket.

Running off the ball to get rid of Fournier and score on a quick layup.

In the face of Fournier, after a strong step on the right side, he made a quick stop.

The easier it is to score, the more energy Yi Feng puts into the defensive end. This also caused the Magic's offense to occasionally be blocked by Yi Feng.

And his teammates, inspired by Yi Feng, worked harder on the defensive end. Even Ci Shiping, a veteran, desperately pestered Frye so that he couldn't reach the ball.

The Lakers' defensive attention came up, and the Magic's offense was contained. Skeys' intentions were shattered.

If you want to chase points when your side is behind, a desperate attack is not the best strategy.

Because if you can't defend against your opponent's attack, you'll never be able to close the gap.

Even if your offense is just as effective, the difference will never change.

Looking at those cases of turning defeat into victory, all of them start from defense.

Increase the defensive intensity, reduce the opponent's offensive efficiency, and finally ensure that your own offense can play smoothly.

Without any of them, you can't turn defeat into victory.

Skeles wasn't a well-known coach, but he knew it.

However, there is no good hand in her hand, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

Although he is good at training young people, he is called young people, and these players are still immature after all. No matter how good Skels is, it is impossible to raise the quality of young players to a new level all at once.

knew that he couldn't prevent it, so he had to fight against each other.

However, Skels' attempt to attack also failed.

After the Magic switched to a sword-oriented attacking lineup, the defense did get worse, but the offense didn't have much effect!

At halftime, the margin did not narrow, but was widened to 13 points.

At 64:51, the Lakers were firmly in control of the game.

――――――

Magic Locker Room.

Head coach Scott Skels sat silently in the corner, his eyes a little blank.

The team trailed by more than a dozen points at halftime, and it was not a fatal crime. The fatal thing is that as a head coach, he tried his best but couldn't find a strategy to restrain his opponents.

If this continues, he will become a representative of incompetence in the eyes of the fans, and he will soon be fired. Even the four-year contract, which had been signed long ago, could not stop the team management from letting him go.

At this time, Mario Hezonia suddenly came over and suggested: "Boss, since that yellow-skinned boy is really so powerful, why don't we give him some cruelty!" ”

Skyles was shocked when he heard this, "Are you going to do it?" ”

Although the team is currently at a disadvantage, he has not thought of using such unsportsmanlike means to turn the situation around.

Hezonia was a little embarrassed, "Coach, where do you want to go, I mean be tough on that kid when defending, even if it's a foul." Just like the Pistons did against Michael Jordan back then! ”

The Pistons did that to Michael Jordan!

Does he mean to let the team use the "Jordan's Rule" to limit China?

Skyles' mind was alive -

China Yi was too aggressive in attack and scored 23 points in the first half. No one on the Magic side could defend him alone, not even the double bag.

Isn't that a bit like the "Jordan's Rule"?

Jordan's Rule, simply put, is a strategy of the Pistons against the Bulls back then:

used various methods to defend Jordan, multi-level, multi-means, and did everything possible to disrupt Jordan's offensive rhythm, even at the expense of multiple people;

When he really couldn't prevent Jordan, he let Jordan go and defended the other 4 people. Even if Jordan scored more points, the other four scored very low, and the Bulls still lost.

Skeles hesitated, "Are we taking him too seriously?" Doesn't using the 'Jordan's Rule' on him put him on the same level as Michael? ”

Mario Herzonia said: "Coach, it's just a tactic, it just represents our determination to win. Besides, we've used a trap before, which means we recognize his stardom. ”

Skeys comforted, patted Mario on the shoulder and said, "Good! That's a good thing to say, we just want to win! ”

Having said that, though, Skyles had other considerations.

The defense of China Yi is doing everything, what if you injure him?

Although his reputation is not good now, as long as a coach with a little vision knows how much benefit China Yi, which has such a high exposure every day, will bring to the league.

In the eyes of the alliance, China Yi stands there, like a bright mountain of gold!

If you hurt him, there will be no good fruit to eat. And he doesn't disdain that kind of dirty means.

And if you defend honestly, the current Magic don't have as tough defenders as Joe Dumas and Dennis Rodman.

Neither of Evan Fournier or Victor Oladipo will be able to defend against him. And if there are two people to defend him, he will not shoot easily, and instead divide the ball in time. If there were three people around, the ball wouldn't have to be hit at all......

Skyles was suddenly stunned and slapped his thigh!

Isn't there a second "Jordan's Rule"?

We can't guard against China Yi, but we can guard against his teammates!

He can score, but can he hit every shot?

Let China Yi always fight alone, even if he keeps scoring goals, don't let him have a chance to pass, can't give his teammates a chance to play.

His hands will always cool down, and his body will always feel tired.

That's where the magic comes in!

Skyles made up his mind, turned around and began to instruct his disciples......

At the beginning of the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

When the Lakers attacked, Yi Feng found that he easily ran out of the open space, but the ball could not be passed for a long time.

It turned out that Oladipo in the second position had already let go of himself and turned to the ball carrier!

And the Lakers' offensive tactics worked at this point, and the ball-handler became Roy Hibbert who rose to the top of the post.

In addition to dealing with Dwayne Dedmon's defense, Hibbert also has to be wary of Oladipo, who is always trying to pull the ball.

At this time, he was already reluctant to protect the ball, and he could still pass the ball to Yi Feng in the vacant position.

Seeing that there was not much time left to attack, Hibbert had no choice but to jump up and pass.

And the object of passing, of course, is Yi Feng, who is more and more trusted in the Lakers. He is currently ranked first on the scoring list, and he is already a veritable super scorer.

Oladipo was quick and poked the ball hard, changing the course of the ball. Then Elfried Payton struck out of the stab, picked up the ball and ran away.

Yi Feng decisively returned to defense, and under the rapid sprint, he caught up with Payton at the three-point line.

Payton knew that he could easily be interfered with or blocked by a direct layup, so he controlled his body and slowed down while leaning on Yi Feng, who was chasing back.

Payton was smart and tried to get himself an advantage on offense.

However, Yi Feng's strength was beyond his imagination.

When Payton jumped to make a layup, he found that he had a pair of long arms hanging over his head all the time. If he dares to go to the basket, he will definitely be covered by these hands mercilessly!

Fortunately, he made full preparations before jumping, and with his right hand for a layup, he pulled the ball back and handed it to his left hand.

Change hands and go to the layup!

But even so, Yi Feng's terrifying long arms still followed, always shrouding Peyton's shot angle.

Peyton was helpless, he didn't dare to make a move, so he could only keep gliding and wait for the opportunity.

But after all, he didn't have the ability to stay in the sky against the sky, and soon began to fall. At this time, Yi Feng seemed to have spread his wings, still waiting for his shot in the air!

No way!

Peyton gritted his teeth, and when he couldn't see the basket, he threw it by feeling.

Yi Feng was unable to block Payton's shot. Although he has the advantage of height and reach, Payton's physical fitness is not good. Moreover, defenders are always on the defensive. For Payton's forced change of hands to make a layup, he is also beyond the reach of his hands.

But Payton's wayward layup was long beyond his ability.

As a result, the basketball didn't even touch the basket, it hit the bottom edge of the rebound, and then bounced onto Payton's back.

According to NBA rules, after the basketball touches the lower edge of the rebound, the first team to touch the ball will be awarded a throw-in and lose possession of the ball. The opponent gets the right to serve.

It was a successful defense for the Lakers. The two sides fought wits and courage, and in the end, Yi Feng was one step ahead.

The Lakers attacked again, and Yi Feng found that this time the situation was still the same.

The Magic five took turns defending the Lakers except for Yi Feng, and under the active change of defense by the Magic players, the ball carrier on the Lakers' side must face the bag of two Magic players, and the rotation of the ball was sluggish.

To let yourself go so blatantly?

Yi Feng was a little stunned.

Then the Lakers made a mistake, and the Magic took the opportunity to successfully play a counterattack.

The Magic's "Jordan's Rule" was like a surprise attack, and it had a good effect, narrowing the difference to 7 points.

At 64:57, the Lakers didn't score a single point in the first two minutes of the second half.

Byron Scott decisively called a timeout.

He discovered the intentions of the magic coach.

On the sidelines, Scott said to Yi Feng alone: "This is the 'Jordan's Rule'. ”

Yi Feng was still a little surprised, "I didn't expect them to dare to do this!" ”

He hadn't touched the ball since the start of the second half. The Magic were quite successful in defending him.

Scott smiled slightly, "Since they dare to deploy such a tactic, let them suffer a little." Easy, let go of the shackles and attack the opponent's basket as you like. Use your powerful scoring ability to break their so-called 'Jordan's Rule'! ”

"I'm sure you can do it!"

On the bench, Kobe Bryant, who was in a suit and leather shoes, also smiled, "Let them experience the horror of the scoring champion." ”

Yi Feng called Clarkson, Randle and others over and gathered around, "Believe me, the Lakers' losing streak is over here!" ”

“One――”

“Two――”

“Three――”

“Lakers――”

“GO！ GO！ GO！ (To be continued.) )
