Chapter 215: Secret Weapon
The Magic attacked, and after a few passes, the basketball came to Howard. Howard was carried by O'Neal again, and he couldn't get inside.
Howard couldn't get in, so he opted for a turnaround jumper. It's Howard's slightly nicer offense, but it doesn't feel good and the shot is off. The basketball went to the outside and was picked up by Li Zhi.
The Magic players were well-trained, and Turkoglu and Li Zhi fought unsuccessfully, and all the players immediately returned to defense, not giving the Warriors a chance to break quickly.
Li Zhi was not in a hurry, allowing the Warriors players to settle quickly.
O'Neill came out again to block and dismantle with Li Zhi, who chose to break through from the right side. He could have made a jump shot straight from the outside, but changed his focus on it for a while. Howard sat on the inside line and didn't come out, and Li Zhi had an idea and had a way to deal with Howard.
Turkoglu went around the cover and was a step slower, but in the back Jinjin approached Li Zhi, and Howard on the left side of the box felt that Li Zhi's offensive line was blocked.
Ritch took the ball to the free throw line, held the ball in both hands, took a big step to the left with his left foot, and Howard hurriedly pounced to the left. only to find that Li Zhi had already strode to the other side of him.
European Step!
Li Zhi used the change of rhythm to easily pass the Warcraft, and the Warcraft felt the rhythm of him Li Zhi just now, and his face was incredible. "Is this guy still a human being with such a big amplitude change?"
Indeed, Li Zhi's European step can no longer be called the European step, it should be called the big European step, because the change range is greater than the ordinary European step.
The European step is not an uncommon skill in the NBA, but there are not many people who regard the European step as a conventional weapon, Ginobili is a master in this area, and another promoter of the BA European step is this year's scoring champion - Dwyane Wade, Wade's European step focuses on speed, and the combination of man and ball is looking for physical confrontation. Aside from these two, no one else in the NBA today has used Euro as a conventional weapon, not even Kobe Bryant and James.
As for Harden, another European step master, he is still preparing to participate in the draft at this time. The Eurostep is the reward for the "Mr. Fourth Section" quest and is a golden skill.
Gliding European Step: The Golden Skill, adapted from Harden's European Step, requires the host to have the Super Saiyan skill.
Because of the Saiyan skill, this European step has been strengthened, so the amplitude and frequency are greater than Harden's European step, although there is no Harden's skill of touching porcelain, but it is also a magic skill, especially suitable for dealing with Howard's stupid black roughness.
The Magic team was not intimidated by Li Zhi's European step, after all, it was just an ordinary technique, and there were few people who knew it, but it was not so shocking.
The Magic attacked, and the basketball went to Turkoglu. The Magic use the playful style of play, Turkoglu is Turkey's number one basketball talent, known as the "LeBron of Turkey", inheriting the consistent tradition of European basketball, growing up to receive all-round offensive skills, teammates in creating opportunities, no worse than his individual scoring.
Richter tangled him at the top of the arc, Lewis pulled out to cover, and Turkoglu broke through from behind.
Jackson defended Kobe Bryant for six games, and now that he has come to help defend it, the first feeling against the big man of the Magic is "slow". Compared to Kobe, Tekoglu's breakthrough threat is really insignificant, and as long as he doesn't foul, it's easy to defend him.
Turkoglou couldn't break through and instead passed the ball to Alston, who shielded it away from Nick Young and then passed it to Lewis. Milicic defended tightly, Lewis didn't have a chance, and the basketball was in Howard's hands again.
As soon as it opens, the three swingmen of the Magic are in trouble. Courtney Lee is not good at attacking with the ball now, and the other two are against the other two defenders of the Warriors, and they have no advantage in technique, and it is even more useless to break through with their bodies.
The Magic can only pray that Howard will open the situation. Before the game, he had issued a military order in front of Van Gundy to blow up O'Neal.
Now it's really right, Howard found that O'Neal was not so easy to deal with, O'Neal was the type of player that Howard hated the most, with a lot of experience and tendons, so he couldn't stand it.
When the playoffs faced the Celtics, Howard was a little weak. Perkins is also a big meat shield, specially born to resist people, that body of meat, so that Howard wants to vomit when he sees it.
After a few strokes, the Warriors didn't wrap Howard. Nelson believes in O'Neal and resolutely does not give the Magic a chance to fight back, as long as O'Neal is on the floor, the Warriors will not contain him. Seeing that the 24-second offensive time was about to expire, Howard did not choose to attack strongly, and passed the ball to Turkoglou, who was fast on the outside, and Turkoglu forced a shot against Rich's defense, but naturally did not score, and the rebound was grabbed by Milicic.
It was still a positional battle, Li Zhi signaled the players to pull away, and made a simple block with Milicic, Li Zhi broke through directly, the same formula, the same taste, gliding Europe step to the basket.
6:0
Magic offense, this time they started to strengthen the pick-and-roll, Turkoglou and Alston blocked, the ball went to Turkoglou, and he was going to single Nick Young.
Nick Young is undoubtedly the weakest point on the court, and although he doesn't pull a single step, he can't stop Tekoglu. Turkoglu is not fast, but he is physically strong, and it is easy to break through when he meets the small man Nick Young. Nick Young tried his best, but Turkoglu still pressed into the box, Li Zhi was on the right side, unable to assist, O'Neal went to make up for it, but missed Howard.
Howard received the ball and dunked violently, finally relieving the resentment of the first three balls. 6:2.
Nelson shouted from the perimeter: "Don't help the defense! Let him break through, don't help defend! O'Neal nodded, he was careless about the shot just now, so much so that he missed Howard.
Next, the Warriors firmly executed Nelson's tactics, and Nick Young was deliberately put on the court by Nelson Sr. On the offensive end, Nick Young can provide firepower to the first team, and on the defensive end, he can induce the Magic to attack Nick Young.
If the Magic keep letting Howard force the interior, Nelson is still a little worried. O'Neal is old after all, and he can't be hard for a few minutes, and playing two quarters per game is already the limit. If Howard had been attacking O'Neal, Nelson would have been afraid that O'Neal would have collapsed due to physical exhaustion.
Well, now that the Magic have found Nick Young, who is easier to attack, the Magic has already fallen into the trap of the Warriors when they asked Turkoglu to break through Nick Young. The Magic's obsession with breaking through is tantamount to giving up their three-point shot and Howard's offense, which is their strongest weapon.
Turkoglu is the brain of the Magic's offensive end, and if he is obsessed with breaking through, then the others will inevitably lose their offensive direction and become a swarm of headless flies. Van Gundy couldn't take it anymore and promptly asked for a timeout.
Barkley said: "At the beginning, the Warriors have already turned the magic around, and this kind of game is not what the fans want to see. ”
"The Magic have to adjust, and now Nelson lets them play however they want, and Howard is blocked by O'Neal for several consecutive rounds, and the Magic's advantage on the interior is completely lost," Smith said. ”
Barkley nodded and said: "Howard's attack is actually not as strong as the stats suggest, as long as he is not allowed to enter the box, he will not play much." ”
On the Chinese side, he didn't care about the situation on the field at all, Yu Jia said: "Take a look, Li Zhi's performance is good, and the FPVP is stable!" ”
Zhang said: "If the Warriors can win, Li Zhi is the best choice for MVP, and O'Neal is eligible for this honor in the team, but O'Neal's state in the playoffs is a little weird." So far, he has averaged 16.3 points and 8.3 rebounds per game, and Li Zhi has a better chance. ”
Zhang Li continued: "Li Zhi should score a little more, you can't keep playing, otherwise the MVP will be snatched away by others." Zhang Li has something to say, he is the biggest "Komi" in China, the Warriors eliminated the Lakers, although he can't say it explicitly, but he compares Li Zhi and Kobe Bryant in some aspects.
Li Zhi didn't know that MVP was already being discussed in China, and the Warriors were now playing team basketball, but Zhang Weiping asked him in Kobe's way.
Chinese fans are very familiar with a sentence, that is, basketball commentator Zhang Weiping has always been on his lips: "This ball is unreasonable." But what is reasonable?
In 2003, the whole league was saying that Garnett was passing too much and playing too little. Coach Sanders was furious at the time:
"I'm tired of that. Many people say that American players are too fond of one-on-one compared to European players, don't know how to pass the ball, and don't play smart enough. And with Garnett, you're criticizing him for passing too much, too little one-on-one, being too funny. ”
In response to the criticism, Garnett said: "If I have an open space four metres away and I see a team-mate unguarded two metres away, I will pass the ball to him, every time. That's the only right way to play basketball. ”
Now this discussion has come to Li Zhi, domestic fans hope that Li Zhi will be a superhero, hope that he will show the personal heroism that Americans admire, and at the same time hope that Li Zhi will win the championship and win the FMVP, but these two methods cannot coexist at all.
