Chapter 115: Change of Formation
"The fourth quarter will start soon, and whoever wins the series between the Bucks and the Magic will depend on the performance of the two teams in this last quarter!"
"Actually, the Bucks are not too far behind, just a 6-point difference, and a small climax can directly chase the difference back! The key is who will bring this wave of small climaxes! ”
……
"Yi, the current performance is not bad, he has scored 14 points, but compared to him in the regular season, there is still a little bit of a gap, so to speak, he has not played the dominant force he should have on the offensive end!"
"Haha, this performance, you should say that you think it's okay, you must know that he is just a rookie, we shouldn't put too much pressure on him, if he can finally get 20 points, it will already be considered to be overfulfilled, most fans think he can't get 10 points!"
***
At the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, Yi Jianlian played from the beginning.
Little K dropped him down with 4 minutes left in the third quarter, obviously intending to let him play the final game in the fourth quarter!
In fact, as Kenny Smith said, Yi Jianlian's performance in the first three quarters was not eye-catching, he only scored 8 points in the entire first half, and only 6 points in the third quarter.
This is the information fed back by Yi Jianlian's performance on the court in the first three quarters.
But what many people don't notice is that he already has six assists.
A power forward had six assists before he even started playing in the fourth quarter, and it is conceivable that for most of the time, the Magic would rather let him pass the ball than give him a chance to attack.
Because of this, the Bucks once pressed the score closer, and because of this, they fell behind again.
Yi Jianlian can't afford not to score, and his score has become a barometer of whether the Bucks can win or not.
Only if his score is high can the Bucks win!
It seems that Xiao K also put Yi Jianlian on the court early in the third quarter because of this reason.
He must ensure that Yi Jianlian's physical fitness is abundant.
***
Yi Jianlian, who came up in advance, faced the Magic's bench lineup, and easily scored two consecutive individual offenses, forcing Van Gundy to take the Magic's starting lineup early.
Although Lewis and Turkoglu can't stop Yi Jianlian, the offensive firepower of the two of them is not something that the Bucks can block.
"Whew!"
Lewis made meritorious contributions when he came up, and two consecutive three-pointers not only widened the gap that Yi Jianlian had narrowed before, but also opened up the difference by 2 points more.
77 to 85, seeing that the score difference is about to reach double digits.
Michael Reid forced a three-pointer and wanted to try to return one, but unfortunately in front of Morris Evans, his state today was really not flattering, and with a "bang", the ball popped out of the basket.
4-of-13 shooting, and that's his record so far.
"Phew!"
Howard, in turn, dunked another ball.
10 points!
The score difference has finally reached double digits!
The atmosphere at the Amway Arena reached a climax all of a sudden, and it was no wonder that they were so excited, with less than 7 minutes to go until the end of the game, this point difference was basically sealed in the victory.
Van Gundy was watching what was happening on the court, and after many defensive experiments, he had gradually touched the lifeblood of the Bucks, and when Michael Reed was in a slump and Yi Jianlian could only pass the ball, the team couldn't win anyway.
The 10-point difference shows that he was completely correct in his conjecture.
"Toot!"
Little K chose to call a timeout, he doesn't have any strategy now, but now he has a timeout in his hand and he can't do without it!
Anyway, even if he tried, he had to change his tactics, what if the blind cat ran into a dead mouse?
"We ......"
"Coach Larry, can you try my play?"
Yi Jianlian listened to Xiao K's tactical explanation, and suddenly interrupted his words, and at the same time, the expression in his eyes gradually became decisive, he had an idea in his heart, he had been wanting to say it since the first section, but he had been hesitating.
……
"Okay, the timeout is over, let's see how the Bucks will change!"
"What else can change, Huaxia Yi still has no chance to score on its own on the offensive end, and if they are seen to death, they will definitely not win!" Barkley's tone grew excited, and he was already thinking about how to deal with Yi Jianlian after this game.
Well, the playoffs will bring Huaxia Yi back to its original shape, so it's okay to say? Or is Huaxia Yi just a regular season star, so it's better to say that?
"Huh? How did Eisen Ilyasova play? It's not easy, no! Yi is also on the field, my God, and Bogut is also on the field, how is this going to be assigned? ”
Kenny Smith's surprise in his ear caused Barkley to look back on the court.
Xiao K actually put Eisen Ilyasova, Yi Jianlian and Andrew Bogut on the field! What's to be done?
"Who's the small forward?" Barkley quickly asked the most critical question, and after ruling it out in his own mind, he was stunned, "Huaxia Yi wants to play small forward?" ”
Oh, my God?
"What's going on? It seems that Xiao K seems to want to let the UAE play the No. 3 position? In the live broadcast room of Huaxia Channel 5, the two commentators were also stunned.
"OK, Eisen, how's it going? Nervous? ”
Yi Jianlian didn't know that the world was in chaos, but he still cared more about the cheerleader next to him, and it was the first time he and the latter appeared together.
What's more, Eisen's Ilyasova averaged less than six minutes per game in the regular season and was a true cooler player.
"Yi, what the hell are you doing?" When Xiao K said tactics, Ilyasova still looked confused, and by the time he reacted, the timeout had arrived, so he didn't hear a word of what Xiao K said.
But he knew that he could play because of Yi Jianlian's recommendation.
"It's nothing, you just have to remember, the ball is given to you, and you just throw it for me!" When Yi Jianlian finished speaking, he had already begun to command his teammates to run!
At this time, Mo Williams had just dribbled the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and the players of the Magic team looked at the Bucks players who had begun to run under the command of Yi Jianlian, and could only hurry up to keep up with the rhythm.
……
"Hey, Yi, I'm practicing dribbling again tonight! It's really hard! May God bless you, child! ”
……
"Yi, your passing is enough, now you have to learn to find teammates, watch more videos you know?"
……
"Hey, Yi, don't look at the tactics, eat tonight's fruit meal first!"
……
Yi Jianlian stood outside the three-point line, watching the Bucks players gradually and correctly position according to his command, and involuntarily recalled his months of practice in the past season.
Now, the team is in a desperate situation, the kind of desperate situation that Little K can't save.
He has to do something to prove it, not to prove that he is strong, but to prove that his past sweat has not been in vain, God rewards hard work, he believes that God can see his efforts!
"Ball!"
"Whew!"
With the sound of breaking the air, small forward Yi Jianlian received the ball outside the three-point line!
