284. Retribution comes so quickly
Little Jordan with S-level physical fitness, when he only thinks about one defense and one, he can rely on his physical fitness to break his wrist with Howard, although he can't break it, he won't suffer too much.
In terms of free throws, Jordan Jr. was not far behind, with a flick of his wrist...... Three do not stick!
The fans at the scene are now in mixed moods.
Little Jordan just hit such a beautiful ball to help Sun Ce get back on the court, they can't laugh......
But it's really funny!
Defensive-oriented head coaches are generally special, the referee picks up the ball and gives it to Howard, Howard has just sent the ball to Carter, and Coach Van Gundy, dressed in a crumpled suit, yells at the defense from the sidelines......
Howard rushed to the front court after serving, and Carter thought that Howard wanted a wave of fast breaks, so he quickly accelerated to keep up...... But Howard's side caught up with Jordan Jr., who had just stepped back to the halfway, and slowed down......
Howard said to little Jordan: "Hey, brother, I'm going to buckle like you in a while, it's so handsome." ”
Carter, who had just crossed the halfway line, heard this, and his legs were so weak that he almost fell to the ground!
It's different from what I expected when I was traded to the Magic team in the summer!
He originally planned to form a poor man's OK group with Howard, but the superstars on the team were too playful!
Fortunately, he's been through it many times, and Carter knows it's just Howard's love of joking, controlling the ball well and making no mistakes.
When little Jordan heard Howard's words, he gave Howard a strange look, ignored it, and ran back to the inside line first.
Carter's offensive ability is okay, averaging 4 assists per game so far in his career, although it is far less than the role of Turkoglou last year, but it is still enough to play the rotation stage.
After the Magic team ran from the outside, Zhan Mamba took advantage of Randolph's contraction to get a three-point opportunity in the bottom corner and hit a three-point shot in the open position.
24-17, the Magic once again stretched the difference to 7 points!
Switching offense and defense, Sun Ce advanced to the frontcourt, easily broke through the aging Jason Williams, and burst into the free throw line...... Hit!
Playing more and more freely, Sun Ce's overall mid-range shooting is only C-level, and he is not qualified, but the running hook in the one-step three-second area in the free throw line is really accurate, and the threat of no inside defense is the same as training.
When it came time for the Magic to attack, the Grizzlies began to consciously pay attention to the bottom corner, and began to try to empty Petrus or Jason Williams, and use the outside line to help defend the shrinkage.
In a short period of time, it has had a certain effect, and Jason Williams is almost time to retire, and the 34-year-old C-ability evaluation player can only get worse day by day.
Today, Jason Williams' three-point shooting was extremely different, Sun Ce consciously let go of a time to make up for the running Ryan Anderson, after Jason Williams missed the three-point shot, Sun Ce and Randolph pinched Ryan Anderson more times.
By the 11th minute of the first quarter, the Grizzlies had closed the deficit to two points at 24-26.
Jordan Jr. was on a par with Howard today, and he couldn't grab the board and didn't want Howard to grab it, but he helped Sun Ce get two rebounds, and Jason Williams missed three consecutive empty three-pointers, and only one was converted into a rebound by Howard.
But...... The Magic are a team of superstars with a team of all-out characters, and the players who play the least amount of time also have more than ten minutes of playing time.
Jason Williams made a substitution on 0 of 3 shots, and the most of them were pitchers, and the older they got in the future, the more angry they were, the more angry they were, the more they got 23 million US dollars at the age of 34, JJ Redick, who was replaced, continued the firepower of the Magic team!
At the end of the first quarter, relying on Carter's long two points and Redick's three points, the Magic team played a wave of 5-0 in the last minute, leading the Grizzlies by 7 points again at 31-24!
Just the other party!
Randolph had 9 points and 3 rebounds in the first quarter, Sun Ce had 4 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, and Guy had 5 points.
But Howard had 9 points and 3 rebounds, Carter had 8 points, plus 4 three-pointers from others...... Bombed!
Although the Magic team only has 12 players on the roster, all 12 players can play! And except for Carter and Jason Williams, everyone else is basically young under the age of 28, and the age structure is better than that of the Grizzlies, and there is no physical decline in the second game of back-to-backs, which disappoints the expectations of the Grizzlies.
……
At the interval, Coach Hollins laid out the tactical ...... Sun Ce had a headache when he saw it......
Coach Hollins is very strong! Just thinking about fighting hard, trying to kill the other party from tactics and strength.
But...... But can't it?
Sun Ce thought back for a while, it seems that the Grizzlies in the Double Bear era have always been so strong, and they deliberately lost to the eighth place in the playoffs to single-handedly take the first place in the league.
This spirit is very good......
The coach's arrangement cannot be violated, he is not Coach Zhan, and Coach Hollins is not the type of Zen master who decentralizes power, but how the players play on the field depends on the situation.
After the coach laid out the offensive and defensive tactical framework, Sun Ce pulled Jordan Jr. and Haddadi, who were about to come off the bench......
……
Coming back from the break, the Grizzlies sent a lineup of Sun Ce, Conley, Gay, Jordan Jr., and Haddadi.
To increase the height of the inside, Howard didn't shoot anyway, mainly because Howard didn't even block and pick.
On the Magic side, Howard continued.
Howard is one of the best players in the league, and he has nowhere to vent his energy, and after only five or six years of playing, he broke out a bunch of illegitimate children, the sense of déjà vu of the second generation of Rain Man.
Nelson, Redick, Petrus, Ryan Anderson, Howard played in a rotational lineup.
The Grizzlies are really out of lineups, and the opposing rotation lineup is too strong.
The Grizzlies attacked first, no matter what, they played like this first, and the strength was not as good as the opponent and they could only come hard, Sun Ce advanced to the front court, hoisted the ball to the bottom line, and Guy relied on Petrus to receive the ball and turn over for a jumper......
A two-point shot from the baseline!
26-31, the Grizzlies struggled to maintain the point difference.
Fortunately, the Magic team does not have too good singles stars, Carter and Nelson are old and not particularly powerful, mainly relying on waves, and the Grizzlies can rely on Guy or Randolph to stabilize the situation alone.
When it came to the Magic's offense, they really shot too accurately from the outside, and a top three-pointer paired with a group of top-notch shooters......
Petrus then threatened from the outside, but Nelson's target was not Petrus, who attracted Jordan Jr. to shrink his defense, nor Ryan Anderson, who was mid-range from the baseline, but the basket!
It's so arrogant that Nelson ignores Haddadi under the basket and hangs Howard to the air ......
However, Haddadi hugged Howard directly and didn't give Howard a chance to jump! Haddadi has nothing else, but there is ...... in height and tonnage
Would rather send Howard to the free-throw line!
Originally, Haddadi thought it was too immoral, but the other party actually wanted to ignore him and connect him through him, and Haddadi was blackened......
It's unfortunate, Howard made two free throws, Sun Ce Sun Ce grabbed the defensive rebound with the help of Jordan Jr. and Haddadika and counterattacked!
With Guy and Jordan Jr. both there, the Grizzlies were much more threatening on a counterattack than in the second half of the first quarter, and Sun Ce rushed all the way to the free throw line and was just about to take two steps to throw and was fouled by the fast-running Petrus.
Sun Ce walked to the free throw line...... actually missed two free throws, but fortunately, Jordan Jr. fought hand-to-hand with Haddadi and Howard, and after Sun Ce lost the second free throw, Little Jordan jumped up and hit the ball first!
Jordan Jr. seemed a little bit enlightened today, and it felt like he was learning Howard's offensive methods.
Compared with the original time and space when the Clippers focused on cultivating Griffin and ignored Jordan Jr., it was not until Coach Rivers joined the Clippers in the 2013-2014 season that they began to cultivate Jordan Jr., and the Grizzlies paid more attention to Jordan Jr. than the Clippers during this period.
Randolph and Gasol Jr. are both mature interior lines, Randolph is at his peak, Gasol Jr. is just fat, about to turn 25 years old, and his skills have been polished well before coming to the NBA, so Jordan Jr.'s rebounding awareness and free throws are the key aspects of the Grizzlies...... It's just that the cultivation has just begun, and I can't see any results.
In the 2012-2013 season, Jordan Jr. averaged 7 boards per game, and in the 2013-2014 season, Jordan Jr. averaged 13.6 boards per game and won the rebounding king, and his playing time only increased by 10 minutes, because he felt the attention of the head coach and began to actively learn how to grab rebounds......
Jordan Jr. met the extreme center of today's basketball today, learned some rebounding skills, and used them all.
The two teams played ...... at the start of the second quarter It's broken, the game time is broken, it's intermittent.
Mainly because Haddadi or Jordan Jr. would rather send Howard to the free throw line as long as they see Howard receiving the ball and attacking the basket when they face Howard.
After more than three minutes in the second quarter, the Grizzlies fouled 4 times!
After Sun Ce passed to Conley and hit a mid-range jumper to chase the score to 32-34, the Magic team just came out, and Haddadi directly hugged Howard who ran to the direction of the Grizzlies basket together!
Howard is back on the free-throw line......
Howard is going to vomit blood!
He's already hit 1 of 6 free throws!
Wait, Howard suddenly reacted, the other party is cutting sharks?
I really couldn't see it at first, more than three minutes in the first minute, if it wasn't for Howard receiving the ball, the Grizzlies didn't have the intention of cutting the shark, they would defend normally, and only when Howard received the ball and made a move to dunk or jump up and put it directly into the basket, Haddadi or Jordan Jr. would foul.
However, after the number of fouls reached four, Haddadi and Jordan Jr. began to reveal their true natures and committed direct fouls......
In the fifth minute, the Grizzlies managed to take a 37-35 lead, and Howard missed two free throws again...... Mainly after the second free throw and three out of bounds, coach Big Van Gundy called a timeout.
……
Coach Big Van Gundy looked at the opposing bench......
"What a mistake that guy, when did you start using such a dastardly tactic? You'll use it, right? ”
Bullying honest people, right?
Big Van Gundy Coach is furious!
……
Coach Hollins sneezed twice in a row.
"Got a cold? Ask someone to buy a mask at halftime to avoid infecting the players. ”
Coach Hollins didn't expect his players to actually play shark slashing, but the effect was good.
He "understood" the mood of his own insider, Howard on the opposite side was too bullying to play ball, obviously smiling on his face, but he pressed them with his body......
However, at this time, their own side can no longer send Jordan Jr. and Haddadi, the former has more than 40 percent of the serve, and the latter has more than 60 percent, which is not good.
Because the opponent's single defense is not good except for Petrus and Barnes, and the opponent wants to ensure shooting, he only dares to send Petrus, Sun Ce, Conley, Guy's outside combination played well, and the three continued to be replaced, and the combination of Randolph and Gasol Jr. was replaced.
On the Magic's side, the substitutions were unexpected by Coach Hollins, with Jason Williams, Redick, Anthony Johnson, Blanton Buss, and Howard on the court.
Sun Ce saw the other party's lineup...... What is the other party going to do?
Whatever, let's fight first!
Coming back from a timeout, the Grizzlies attacked.
Conley had just received the serve when he heard the whistle......
Turning his head, Sun Ce was hugged by Reddick......
The number of fouls on the Magic side also reached 4 early, and the referee signaled for Redick to foul, and Sun Ce got two free throws!
Sun Ce was a little stunned by Reddick...... He was actually cut down!
I took a look at the four teammates who played at one time...... Sun Ce's heart was desolate, they were indeed his worst free throws!
