Coming back from the timeout, the Magic made adjustments and lifted Lewis to the high post, and Turkoglu went to the baseline to defend Milicic without substitutions. On the offensive end, the Magic stepped up their pick-and-roll shots, and Howard was responsible for grabbing frontcourt rebounds on the inside.

Nelson didn't say anything, silently replacing O'Neal for Jordan Jr. O'Neill looked like nothing on the surface, but he was actually out of breath, and Nelson Sr. took the opportunity to give O'Neill a break. Jordan Jr.'s physicality is also at the space level, and as long as Howard doesn't foul on defense, everything is easy to say.

The Magic attacked, Alston dribbled across half court, passed to Courtney Lee, and Jackson defended. It's still a man-to-man tactic, which is a reflection of the player's confidence in the single defense.

Van Gundy felt that Howard could attract the pack, but the Warriors chose to defend Howard alone and guard the outside three-pointer, a tactic that disrupted the Magic's plan. Neither Lewis nor Turkoglou were good at attacking with the ball, and Van Gundy was shocked to find that the Warriors' defense suffocated them.

Courtney Lee passed the ball to Turkoglou, who received it on the back and took a step with his back to Jackson, and Howard came to the high post to cover and block Rich. Courtney Lee cuts in the middle.

Turkoglu passed the ball to the middle, and Courtney Lee received the ball and made a layup. Jordan Jr. is obviously inexperienced, in fact, Howard is not much of a threat in the high post, and he doesn't have to follow him at all.

The Warriors attacked, and Richie watched the situation on this game, and Lewis went to the left. Li Zhi beckoned, Jackson came up to cover Alstom, misplaced, Li Zhi faced Tekoglou.

Tekoglu's face darkened, and Li Zhi was going to single him. This year is his contract year, and he originally wanted to jump out of the contract to sign a high salary, but now Li Zhi singled him, which made him very depressed. The Magic's Nelson has been selected as an All-Star, but he played at the top of his stats last season but was not selected, which is already psychologically uncomfortable, and he doesn't want to admit that he can't defend.

Li Zhi broke through from the right side, and Turkoglu immediately stepped forward, trying to block Li Zhi before he accelerated. Lee pulled back, took the ball to the baseline, and deliberately got a little closer to Courtney Lee, trying to attract Courtney Lee's bag, but Courtney Lee didn't even stretch out his hand. Li Zhi was helpless, accelerated directly, Tekoglu pasted, Li Zhi passed the ball to Milicic, who cut to the penalty area on the left baseline and hit a layup.

Fans have found out that the Magic can't defend the Warriors, the Warriors are more blooming, and they are very fluid on offense.

Judging from the data, the Warriors' on-court players do not have a strong attack point except for Li Zhi. But many people ignore that Jackson, Nick Young, and Milicic are all players who have scored 20+ in the playoffs, and their ability is not bad. The Warriors obviously grasped the Magic's defensive weaknesses, and if you have a weak point guard, I will use your point guard weakness to cut into the air.

The Magic attacked, and Nick Young faced Alstom, keeping a one-step distance and not pressing. Alston has a good ball and inconsistent shooting, so he can be given a little space to shoot. Alston dribbled under the crotch continuously, and Nick Young took a step to the left under Alston's rhythm, and by the time Nick Young reacted, Alston had already passed Nick Young.

Alstom entered the inside line, and Li Zhi made up for the defense. Alston could only share the ball to the baseline, and Jackson let go of Courtney Lee to block Kourtney Lee, who split the ball to Courtney Lee, who hit a direct three-pointer.

Li Zhi dribbled while thinking about the Magic's attack just now. Alston is not very useful defensively, but it is obvious offensively, and it is obviously not a good choice for Nick Young to defend Alstom.

Nick Young walks past Rich, who tells him to defend Tekoglu later.

Li Zhi relied on cover and singled Alstom. The basketball jumped from Li Zhi's hands, and he dribbled the ball with rhythmic steps. Alston didn't dare to lean in, he was afraid that Li Zhi would pass him in one step. But in his trance, Li Zhi still flashed over, and the basketball passed under Alstom's crotch, and the ball was divided.

Butterfly broke through to the restricted area, and Europe stepped to the basket, dodging Howard's block and scoring two points. 14：7

The Magic attacked, Li Zhi and Nick Young switched defenders, and Alston failed to pass Li Zhi. The Magic still didn't find a chance after passing the ball multiple times. Turkoglu forced a mid-range shot and didn't score.

Both sides tried to defend, the rhythm was very slow, Li Zhi misplaced Alstom, broke through to the penalty area and forced Howard, Howard blocked, Li Zhi passed the ball to Jordan Jr., who forced a dunk.

Annoyed, Van Gundy called a timeout again to replace Alstom. He knew that Alston was too lonely, and he had to attack by himself when he got the ball, and the main reason in these rounds was that Alstom was too sticky and wasted a lot of offensive time. The Magic switched to Nelson early.

The Magic's substitutions were obvious, and Nelson went to the frontcourt to give the ball to Turkoglou, who organized the Magic to have a chance, and Nelson hit a shot.

When it was the Warriors' turn to attack, the Magic were clearly starting to squeeze defense. They wanted to prevent Li Zhi's breakthrough, but in this way, the Warriors' outside line was opened, Nick Young and Jackson hit three points in a row, and the Magic's defense failed again.

At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors led the Magic by 10 points at 30:20.

Barkley said: "The gap between the two sides is too big, the Magic defense is compressed, and the Warriors' outside shooters will be powerful. If it is prevented, Li Zhi will break through, Li Zhi is not a person who can be restrained at all, his European steps are too powerful. ”

Kenny was lost and said: "The Magic team is the weakest Finals team in recent years, their weaknesses are too obvious, and the point guard problem can be adjusted by substitution, but the small forward is too bad." Tekoglu himself can't prevent Li Zhi, and magic can't do it if it doesn't cover it. ”

The Magic ruled out Gortat, Tony Barty, Petrus, Redick, Nelson, and the Warriors replaced Milicic, Jordan Jr., Barnes, Morrow, Crawford.

The Magic bench is under a lot of pressure because the Warriors' bench group is notoriously ferocious. In the face of the Cavaliers, the Magic's bench has a huge advantage, but the advantage against the Warriors is gone, and Crawford has star strength and can compete for the sixth man.

After coming on the court, Petrus became the main point of attack on the Magic field. He was a backup for the Warriors last season, but the Nelson didn't keep him in the offseason, and Petrus came to the Magic for a bigger contract, where he was an All-Star in the bench group. This time against his old club, Petrus showed a very strong desire.

However, the truth is cruel, he was defended by Barnes, who knew him well, Petrus missed an outside shot, and the Warriors won the rebound and immediately counterattacked.

The Magic bench group can bully and bully the Cavaliers, but they are no match for the Warriors. Crawford went all the way down with the ball, and Redick and Nelson followed, but Crawford juggled past two people and hit a layup.

Morrow also became a surprise on the Warriors' bench, hitting two three-pointers in a row, and the difference between the two sides immediately stretched to 18 points.

Barkley said: "The Lakers and the Trail Blazers dug a hole off the bench in the second quarter and lost to the Warriors, and now the Warriors have come off the bench and played a wave of 8-0, and the Magic starters can't beat the Warriors, and the Magic are in danger." ”

Kenny Smith said: "The Magic bench is actually a little bit better than the Lakers and the Trail Blazers, but they are too tight defensively. In the East, neither the Cavaliers nor the Celtics are three-point powerhouses, and their defensive effect is remarkable, but how can the Warriors' three-point defense be defended? ”

In Kenny Smith's words, Van Gundy's defensive strategy doesn't work. The Warriors are different from other teams. Barkley didn't answer as usual, he had a sense of mission at the moment, a new era was coming, an era of three-point shooting.

The Trail Blazers, Lakers, and Rockets were all shot alive by the Warriors, and the Magic, should they also become the Warriors' three-point sacrifice?
