Chapter 319: We'll Win It Back

It's the 2010-2011 NBA playoffs Eastern Conference semifinals, the first game between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Orlando Magic.

It is now the second half of the fourth quarter, the score is 112:100, and the Magic, who are playing at home, have a full 12-point lead.

Yes, it was a 12-point lead, and with Howard's efforts in the third quarter, this time the Magic didn't let the 76ers close the score.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Howard dominated the interior at both offensive and defensive ends, big hats, dunks, and rebounds, he was simply omnipotent!

Even if the 76ers came up with a chopping tactic to disrupt his rhythm, this time the effect was not good, Howard didn't know what was wrong in the second half, and actually maintained a 50% free throw shooting rate!

Two free throws, no problem, Lao Tzu can always score one!

This really makes the 76ers have nothing to do, and now, there are just over 5 minutes left, trailing by 12 points, and the 76ers have only 5 fouls left in the interior Hawes and 4 fouls Brand.

What the? What about Whiteside? Does this need to be asked? With Howard's strong play, of course Whiteside has graduated!

With 13 points, 14 rebounds and 4 blocks in the game, Whiteside's statistics are okay, not ashamed, but when you look at Howard, the gap is obvious!

28 points, 25 rebounds and 7 blocks, this is still because Howard couldn't score in the first half, otherwise, it would have been 30+20 a long time ago!

If the block can also get a double, then Howard is going to hit a terrible 30+20+10 triple-double today!

Han Miao also smiled bitterly, today's third quarter of Howard is really super-god! Han Miao couldn't have imagined that Howard would be so good!

Especially the one who made Whiteside commit the sixth offense in the end, Howard was separated by Whiteside and Livingston!

That's right, Howard was wearing Livingston and then shutting Whiteside.

The scene was too real and too brutal.

"Alas......"

Stevens sighed off the court, although he couldn't say anything, but deep down, Stevens already had some thoughts about wanting to give up.

The general trend has gone, and now it is just relying on the unwillingness of the players to support it. But how long can this kind of spirit last? Nobody knows.

Han Miao played well today, he scored a standard point guard double-double with 24 points and 10 assists, and Hayward also scored 23 points, but excluding the two of them, the performance of the other players of the 76ers can only be said to be anticlimactic.

Korver, the brilliant scorer in the first half, may have really used up all his touch of the night in the first half of the buzzer-beating three-pointer, and in the second half, Korver's performance can only be described as sleepwalking.

6 times outside the three-point line, all missed, Korver can score two or three, and the situation is different now!

Not to mention the others, Whiteside was beaten to graduation by Howard, Iguodala couldn't make an empty basket, and Capono lost his three-point skill pack today...... How did this make Han Miao take him?

Why only 10 assists? It's not because your teammates can't shoot!

"Boom!"

Another simple and rough basket turned around and dunked, Howard dunked Hawes again, and Hawes, who committed 5 fouls, didn't even dare to stretch out his hand this time, he really couldn't stop it!

30+20, Howard achieved this super double-double in the playoffs!

"It's over, this ball is over the game."

Han Miao looked up to the sky and sighed, it was really bad luck in Orlando today, in the second half, they met the best Howard!

Obviously he was a little soft-footed guy in the first half, why was he suddenly so violent?

Han Miao thought with a big brain, did this guy go to "take drugs" in the middle of the game?

Carter performed well today, with 27 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, which is worthy of his name as the "Big Four".

At the same time, the rest of the Magic shooters group also contributed a lot today, from a crazy 9-of-10 shooting in the first quarter to a 12-point lead now, the Magic outside shooters contributed a lot, so to speak, without their killing, Howard would not have had so many chances at all.

Of course, the Magic complement each other inside and outside, and they have been using this tactic for many years, so the first game of the 76ers was completely lost on experience!

"Withdraw the main force."

In the last minute or so, Stevens, who was still more than a dozen points behind, decisively withdrew his main force, not every game is likely to have a Maddie moment, otherwise Maddie would not have been able to move God because of 35 seconds and 13 minutes.

What's more, if you want to stage a Maddie moment in the playoffs, this is even more difficult!

"Coach...... I'm sorry. ”

After being replaced, Han Miao apologized to the head coach.

In this game, he failed to lead the team. Especially in the second half, when Howard suddenly woke up, Han Miao did not bring his teammates in time, so the team's offense was not smooth, so that they fell behind by more than ten points.

"Really...... It's a pity. ”

Hayward thought for a moment and said this.

Stevens also felt that it was a pity, and when the score was tied in the first half, the 76ers also thought that they might turn the tables against the wind in this game.

But who would have thought that Howard, who had been suppressed in the first half, would be able to explode in a single quarter in the third quarter?

If there is no Howard's outburst, then of course the 76ers have hope to win this game, but unfortunately, there is no if in the game, there is always only a result.

"Coach, in the next game, we'll win it back."

Han Miao said very solemnly, coming to Orlando is to regain the home advantage, don't go back to Philadelphia with a score of 2:0!

"Well, the next game is to plan carefully."

Stevens nodded approvingly, after all, this defeat was a foregone conclusion, and the next step was to accept it all openly.

Young Philadelphia newcomers, it was their first loss of the playoffs.

The final score was fixed at 122:108, and the Orlando Magic, with a 14-point advantage at home, defeated the Philadelphia 76ers who were looking for them away, and grabbed the first place in the series.

"The magic are very strong, we feel a lot of pressure on them, which makes me very excited, although we lost this game, but I believe the next game will be different!"

This is what Stevens said in an interview after the game, and the young coach is still acceptable to this defeat.

However, Han Miao's attitude was even more resolute.

"We'll win it back!"

Han Miao said such a sentence, and people who didn't know thought that he was dreaming that he was slapped away by his sister with a pan.

"Han said they would win it back? Well...... Well, I can only trust his faith and courage anymore. ”

Howard, who saved face in the second half, said this to the media with a big grin, and it was obvious that he didn't take Han Miao's words to heart.

Well...... Considering his performance today, he does have that qualification.

But now, it's said that winning first doesn't mean winning, Howard, if you talk like that, aren't you afraid of being deflated in a few days?
