Chapter 221: Attack on Little Jordan

Before the start of the third game, many reporters came to the Warriors' training hall to interview, and the Warriors did not practice tactics that day, but only practiced shooting separately. This is to prevent the leakage of some tactics.

The Warriors were in good shape as a team, but Nelson came out with two big black circles, and he slept late last night thinking about how to deal with the Magic. Coupled with the fact that Nielsen has intermittent neurodepressive sleep, sleep quality has not kept up.

After the training, Nelson called everyone together and said: "Everyone must stabilize this battle and win the third game, this is our home field, we can't let them go wild!" ”

"Yes!"

The Warriors were surprisingly unanimous in their answers, and after two Finals games, the players had built up confidence. The reporters were deeply shocked by the answers of the Warriors players, compared to the low-morale Magic on the other side, the Warriors are a group of tiger wolves.

Especially Howard, the pressure from fans, teams, and experts was so great that it crushed the 2.11-meter big man. Fans are not only questioning his strength, but the news of an illegitimate child off the field has also been broken by the media, and fans even have doubts about his character. Howard's label of "just wanting to play irresponsible" is afraid that he will not be able to take off it for the rest of his life.

Also troubled is Magic point guard Jamil Nelson, Nelson is suspended, Magic reached the Finals, and now Nielsen is back, but the Magic have lost two games in a row. Nielsen played five seasons in the NBA and put in a lot of hard work to have such an explosive year, and now because his performance in the Finals has been ruined, his mood can be imagined.

Warriors fans are quite supportive of the home team, and reaching the Finals is enough to get everyone excited. Now that the Warriors are still leading 2-0 in the series, the fanaticism of the fans is even more overwhelming. San Francisco, as a high-tech park, is home to tens of thousands of white-collar workers, who have monotonous and boring work, but this year, watching the news of the Warriors has become an indispensable part of life.

Tickets for the third big battle are quite expensive, with luxury seats and VIP boxes costing as much as $850, and low-class seats also costing $258, which is equivalent to several thousand yuan, but the whole venue is still full.

For the first time in many years, more than 20 cheerleaders danced to the music, the sound of "e believe" resounded in the sky, and more than 20,000 fans wore orange jerseys.

"Sweep!" As soon as the Warriors players came on the court, the fans rang out with a tsunami-like cheer, which made the hearts of the Magic players tremble.

During the warm-up, several players on the Magic side didn't feel very good, the pressure of 0-2 was too great, and the tsunami of the Warriors' home fans couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Rich, Jackson and Barnes sat on the sidelines, and Jackson said, "Matt, are you nervous?" ”

Barnes gave Jackson a shove and said, "I'm not nervous, but your legs keep shaking, and it's shaking me." ”

Li Zhi laughed and asked, "Didn't you play in the finals?" What to shake? ”

Jackson gave the two of them a defeated look and said, "Can this be the same?" I was a small substitute at the time, maybe for a few minutes, but now I'm a big member! ”

"Hehehe......" A ghostly laugh sounded in the ears of the three of them.

Jackson pulled Milicic over with one hand and scolded with a smile: "Bastard boy, what are you laughing at? ”

Milicic pushed Jackson's hand away, pouted and said, "What kind of important person are you, can you compete for MVP?" ”

On the TNT commentary bench, Kenny Smith exclaimed, "If you can win the championship in the second year of your rookie season, it will be too great." ”

Buckley said sourly, "yes, why don't I have such good luck? ”

Kenny Smith smiled: "You learn from Robert Holly, you have nothing to do to change teams, and you can win the championship anywhere!" ”

Barkley said disdainfully, "Can that be the same?" I don't have a championship, but who would say he's better than me? It's just a clown. ”

Players from both sides played, and the Magic still played the lineup. The Warriors made a substitution, which surprised everyone. O'Neal didn't play, the starting center was Jordan Jr., power forward Milicic, and small forward Li Zhi, and the guard line was still double scoring guards Jackson and Nick Young.

On the ESPN commentary bench, Jeff Van Gundy frowned and said, "Old Nelson has made a substitution, let O'Neal substitute, what is this doing?" Little Jordan doesn't have O'Neal's weight, and it makes him a little disadvantaged against Howard as soon as he comes up. ”

Mark Jackson said: "Jordan Jr. is lightweight, but he's fast, and his pick-and-roll is better than O'Neal's. ”

Commenting on what Mark Jackson can think of, Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy can certainly think of, at this time he looks desperate, and Nelson is completely tactically crushing him.

The Magic are going to increase their three-point shooting in this game, Jordan Jr. is on the floor, and the anti-blocking effect is not at the same level as O'Neal, he is fast and can fully catch up with Howard's air cut. The Warriors don't care about Howard's threat at all, they just need to guard against the outside three-pointers.

Don't count on Howard to single Jordan Jr., Howard is not the kind of technical insider, and Jordan Jr. is not afraid of him. Howard can still play in the East, but the Finals are completely empty, and the Warriors seem to have many people who can play against him.

O'Neal is crushed by weight, Jordan Jr. is crushed by height and reach, Milicic is crushed by technology, and Howard does not take advantage of any of the three.

Nelson sat on the sidelines, his eyes were already a little bloodshot, his insomnia was very serious in the past two days, and he didn't cheer the players well before the game, but fortunately this is the home court of the Warriors, the fans gave it, and there was no encouragement from Nielsen at all, and everyone was full of confidence.

The game began, the referee threw the ball into the air, and Jordan Jr. seized the opportunity to jump to the ball first, which was also the first time that the Warriors won the ball in the first quarter of the Finals.

After Jordan Jr. jumped to the ball, he smug an eyebrow at Howard. Both are physical centers, both are centers on championship teams, and it's impossible to say that Jordan Jr. doesn't have a competitive mind.

Howard has strong upper body strength, good bounce, and fast movement, many people say that Howard is like a T, with slender lower limbs, strong upper limbs, and unstable lower discs.

Little Jordan's bounce is also excellent, and has the characteristics of fast and flexible movement, better body coordination, and the lower limbs are obviously thicker than Howard's, and Jordan Jr.'s arms are also longer from the comparison of the two games.

If you look at the quality alone, both of them are embryos of super centers, but in his previous life, Jordan Jr. has never been able to reach the same height as Howard, because he has never been trained in the same way as Howard - he was not trained as a core in the early stage of his career, but a blue-collar worker.

But this life is different, the Warriors' record has skyrocketed, and it is not only Li Zhi who has benefited, but the exposure of other Warriors players has gradually increased. Milicic, a former parallel commodity, can be gradually accepted by Warriors fans, and Jordan Jr. is given high hopes by the team.

O'Neal taught Jordan Jr. offensive skills when he was training, so the current Jordan Jr. is a notch higher than Jr. Jordan in his previous life.
