Chapter 41: Magic Formation, First Defeat of the Season (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation Votes)

The essence of fantasy footsteps lies in deception, no matter what action is made, the purpose is to influence the defender to make a wrong judgment, not to make a move for the sake of making a move.

Otherwise, the dream step will become a dead move, and you can't dream of dreaming!

Smart people learn experience, and inflexible people learn moves.

After Yi Jianlian practiced all the inside footsteps to become proficient, Olajuwon once said to him: "In essence, fantasy steps are just auxiliary tools, and what can really deceive the defender is your adaptability to the defender's defense!" ”

***

After playing Tekoglu these few times, Yi Jianlian can clearly feel that the latter is weak on the defensive end, with slow movement speed, weak strength, and weak vigilance against feints.

In this case, in fact, it is not good to do too many feints, and a simple feint can be directly deceived.

Let's put it this way! That is, Mo Williams has never made a ball for him before, otherwise he would have covered all of the NBA's top ten balls today!

This is the guy who came to make a backdrop for him!

Holding the ball, stabilizing the center of gravity, Yi Jianlian changed from the back basket to the face frame, looked at the Tekoglu in front of him made a slight tentative step and directly broke through in reverse, and once again easily passed Tekoglu, grabbing the ball with both hands and seeing it was another breakthrough and violent buckle.

There was a sound of footsteps coming from the side, and then a black shadow like a hill pressed towards Yi Jianlian.

Shh

Dwight Howard, forget about this guy!

However, this is too exaggerated! Bogut had obviously taken him out of the three-second zone, and this guy was able to get rid of Bogut so quickly and rush back.

Yi Jianlian thinks that it didn't take him too long to break through Turkoglou, coupled with the training of the lower limbs in the offseason, his starting speed is also very fast, and it is not too much to describe it as rushing to the basket in an instant, but Howard was able to quickly get rid of Bogut in such a short time and rushed in again.

This is too much to treat Bogut as a human being!

It's just that...

Yi Jianlian's eyes squinted, since you are here, then Bogut should be empty!

The body slowed down involuntarily, and Yi Jianlian's afterglow quickly found Bogut who was following up, the distance was not too far, even if his passing ability was not good, the ability value was only 62 points, but this kind of hand-to-hand pass was almost a hand-to-hand pass, and no matter how bad his passing ability was, he could pass the ball.

If you don't say it, pass it on!

A straight plug, Bogut suddenly felt something flying towards him during the follow-up, and subconsciously stretched out his hand, hey~ a ball, I didn't say it! Buckle!

"Phew!"

Have you ever seen a big white bear swinging?

Well, that's Bogut's dunk, and as an inside line for floor flow, his bounce height is really a bit unbearable to look at.

But being able to dunk is a good ball.

"Nice, easy!"

Bogut was reluctant to come to the starting team as a coolie, but Yi Jianlian's pass made him feel a lot more comfortable! took the initiative to find Yi Jianlian and slapped him with a high hand, and the longing in his eyes was obvious.

What's that, brother must remember to come to me again in the future! Yi Jianlian suddenly remembered that under the dim street lamp back then, the girl also watched him leave with the same gaze.

Hey~ Brother is so uninhibited! It's always fascinating.

"This guy's overall view is not bad! Although the pass is a bit rough~" Xiao K has discovered some new situations, Yi Jianlian can react quickly in that situation and find a vacant follow-up Bogut shows that he is not in a hurry to play, knows how to observe the situation, and chooses the offensive method, which is very rare among interior players.

The reason why Bogut was able to be won by the Bucks at the top position back then was attracted by his ability to respond, and now Yi Jianlian has also shown potential in this regard, which makes Xiao K a little unexpected.

It's just that pass, it's too rough! This kind of through ball, Bogut almost didn't catch it, you have to train well!

The difficulty of receiving the ball is largely based on the passer's passing skills, so why do interior players rate Kidd, Nash and Paul so highly? In addition to being able to eat cakes from time to time, the comfort of catching the ball is also one of the reasons.

Yi Jianlian made meritorious contributions as soon as he came up, which made Coach Xiao K more determined to play mainly with him!

In the rest of the second quarter, if Williams didn't hand it over to Yi Jianlian in holding the ball for more than five seconds, he would always hear a shout from the little K on the sidelines: "Give that damn ball out!" ”

Yi Jianlian did not disappoint Xiao K, all kinds of tricks on the offensive end, Turkoglu was completely closed, and then he simply stopped defending, so he let Yi Jianlian rush over and completely pinned his hopes on Howard behind him.

But no matter how good a Howard is, where can he defend against two players, and these two players have a good ball quotient, so he will not make a move until he is completely out of position.

In this way, the Bucks quickly caught up with the trailing point difference, and even overtook the score at halftime, 58-51!

No one expected that the Bucks would lead the second half on the Magic's home court.

"Nice, easy, your performance is amazing!"

Ilyasova excitedly pinched Yi Jianlian's shoulders and hammered his legs in the locker room, and he couldn't be courteous.

Yi Jianlian scored a total of 12 points, 3 assists and 3 rebounds in the first half, and if he could still play such statistics in the second half.

The sum of the two would have been a perfect debut.

And this is not the number of times he took out his hand, Yi Jianlian's number of shots is not as much as Mo Williams, and it is one less than Michael Reed, but the latter scored 10 points quietly in the entire first half, which is the only score of Yi Jianlian.

In the end, it is the big brother, and the contribution will never be less.

***

"Damn it, Siddo, that's the promise you made to me, and how am I going to let you play small forward? You can't handle a rookie at power forward, so how do you deal with those faster small forwards? ”

In the Magic's locker room, Van Gundy was having a one-on-one conversation with Tekoglu, who was completely blown out in the first half, and he was disappointed in the latter.

"Coach, I've already said that defense is not what I'm good at, I hope I can do something I'm good at!" After a few minutes of adjustment, Tekoglu wasn't so autistic.

"If I play in the third position in the second half, I think I can catch up with this backward point difference very quickly!"

"Okay, I'll trust you once!" Van Gundy was silent for a long time, then finally nodded in agreement.

***

At the beginning of the second half, Van Gundy changed the position of the players on the court as he agreed to Tekoglu's request, putting Tekoglu on the small forward and Lewis on the power forward.

No one knows how much of an impact this change of play had later on.

For now, in the eyes of all the fans who watched the game and even Van Gundy himself, it was all because of a helpless change of formation after Tekoglu was completely blown up by Yi Jianlian on the defensive end in the first half.

It's just that no one expected that the effect of this change of formation would be shown in the next round of the Magic team.

Tekoglu, who switched to the small forward position, stood outside the three-point line, and Lewis at power forward also stood outside the three-point line because of his style of play.

There was only one Dwight Howard left on the inside.

In order to follow up the defense, the Bucks had no choice but to expand the defensive line, and now it was okay, the "Warcraft" that had been upgraded four times in four years singled out the "Big White Bear" from Australia, and directly staged a scene of forcible dunking.

Bogut, who has played for two years with the label of excellent rim protection ability, was forcibly torn off by Howard and replaced with a new label - the first one who can't stop me in the new season.

I feel sorry for my Bogut for a second.

Two seconds.

12 minutes.

24 minutes.

Well, distressed for the rest of the entire second half.

The Magic team, which had no choice but to change formation, seemed to have suddenly opened its mind, and its offense was very smooth.

In the first half, as the Magic's big sinner, Tekoglu turned into a big hero, his playmaking talent on the offensive end was amazing, slow footwork, slow breakthrough like an excavator, but always found a way to pull the Bucks' defensive formation, creating space for the Magic to wait for him to pass outside the three-point line.

The three points of rain fell, and it was blahing~

Howard's power is also fully displayed because of this style of play.

Although Lewis's defense is not good, he can take Yi Jianlian out of the high post as a shooter, so that Yi Jianlian cannot give Bogut enough support on the inside.

This led to the Bucks players who were involved in Howard on the inside, and only Bogut was left! How much influence can Bogut, who is behind Howard in all abilities, have on Howard?

The answer is no.

In front of Howard, Bogut is like he doesn't exist, he guards the basket alone, grabs the board at any time and directly dunks to complete the second offense, which is very comfortable.

The brainless three-point projection, coupled with Howard's dominance on the inside, just such a simple style of play, in the second half, the morale of the Bucks that was so hard to beat was crushed! Xiao K, who was standing on the sidelines, crossed his waist helplessly, waiting for the end of the game. He clearly knows what this magic team's playing style is, but he just can't destroy it!

The final score was 108-99, and it looked like they were only nine points behind, but fans who watched the whole game knew in their hearts that this was actually a slow death.

That is, Yi Jianlian and Michael Reed teamed up to score 43 points, so as not to let this game go into garbage time early.

Otherwise, this game would have been a one-sided slaughter for the Magic.
