Chapter Forty-Eight: Three Points Like Rain

After the timeout, the Magic's rotation lineup was even more incomprehensible, and the commentators Mike and Wilkins didn't even know what to say, so they could only ridicule the crazy coach for playing his imagination again, as for the effect, Wilkins was not as sure as before, because he was seriously slapped in the face before.

In order to show the importance he attaches to this lineup, Chen An stood up from the coach's bench, stood on the sidelines with his arms crossed, and stared at the players on the court like an eagle.

"Damian, what the hell do you think Jason wants to do, he keeps asking us to speed up, even sacrificing height, not inside, is this reliable?"

Harden and Lillard walked side by side to the backcourt, this guy and Lillard finally had an exchange, Lillard's temperament is relatively cold, and it is really not easy for ordinary people to communicate, but Harden is now the boss, Lillard naturally will not put on a show, just shook his head and said: "I don't know, but I believe in the coach, he won't let us do useless work, otherwise this game will not be so smooth, I didn't expect to be able to lead by 20 points at halftime before the game." ”

It's rare, Lillard said a lot, Harden nodded, he actually felt quite cool, this feeling of having the ball and leading the team to victory even made him a little obsessed.

The two didn't say anything more, Harden asked for the ball from the referee's hand, he didn't serve immediately, but raised his right hand, compared to his thumb and little thumb, forming a sign similar to a bull's horn, the three people in the front court saw it and immediately moved the camera, and Harden immediately passed the ball to Lillard, Lillard didn't have much luck, and waited until Harden stepped into the sideline and directly returned the ball to the past.

This is very common, but it is unusual that Harden accelerated directly to the front court after receiving the ball this time, and Lillard quickly rushed to the front court outside the left diagonal three-point line, and Turner and Harris had already fallen into the two bottom corners, and Green pulled it out at the right time to block and dismantle.

Green's body is thick, the lower plate is stable, and the blocking effect is very good, and even the Lwe who is marking Harden does not even have a chance to cover around, and Harden does not have the slow strength he had before.

Horford was still apprehensive about Harden's several fouls in the opening game, and he didn't dare to stick too tightly, nor did he dare to cut the ball easily, so he only spread his hands and moved sideways to follow Harden, but where can his speed keep up with Harden? Seeing that Harden was about to break through, Josh Smith, who was defending Harris in the bottom corner, pounced.

Harden caught a glimpse of a gap in Harris's there, and with a flick of his wrist came a crotch pass, and the basketball rebounded and was firmly caught by Harris, but Josh's movements were fast, and when the basketball went through the crotch, it was an emergency stop, and then he jumped back, he didn't ask for a block, he just wanted Harris to interfere when he shot.

However, Harris didn't make a shooting action at all, at the moment when Josh jumped, he returned the ball to Harden, and then he accelerated to cut in, Harden dribbled the ball first a step back and made a jump shot, Horford hurriedly stuck up but didn't dare to jump easily, and Harden threw the ball high, and saw the basketball jump over Horford's raised hands, followed by a figure jumping up from Horford's side, and then a big hand caught the basketball in mid-air, with a strong slashing posture, the ball smashed into the basket.

Harris, empty catch, death split!

Bang!

The hoop shook with a muffled sound, and Harris looked excited when he dunked the ball, pounded his chest, and gave Harden a high-five.

This ball hit the Hawks' morale very hard, not only because the entire defensive system was played by Harden, but more importantly, the score was stretched to 20 points, and the 20-point difference is a psychological line, and the team with an unstable mentality is easy to collapse.

Josh Smith, as the Hawks' new Hawk King, felt it was time for him to step up, but his way was hilarious, which was to play outside the three-point line like Maddy, but unfortunately he wasn't Maddy.

Josh Smith pulled a three-pointer, the ball shot wide, the ball smashed on the blue neck and bounced out, Green's sense of position was very good, and he squeezed Horford, who was about to rush for the rebound, Harris firmly accepted the rebound and passed the ball to Harden as soon as possible.

Oh my God, Harden received the ball and made a long pass directly, it turned out that Turner had run to the right side of the front court outside the three-point line, the ball was passed very accurately, Turner caught the ball steadily, but Korver was very alert, the return defense was very timely, and Turner's shooting space was compressed.

However, Turner chose to pass, Lillard rushed through the half court for the first time and threw Teague behind him, Lillard caught the ball and made an emergency stop, he didn't adjust too much, and shot directly outside the three-point line!

The ball was in the right trajectory, the ball went in, and at 69:46, the Magic extended their lead to 23 points, and oh my god, it's crazy, you can't tell that the Magic are a rebuilding team. ”

Mike in the commentary box almost jumped up and exclaimed, completely ignoring the essence of human movies whose face had been completely blackened, and the performance of the Magic team so far was too surprising to him.

"Good!"

Chen An on the sidelines also waved his fist excitedly, this is what he wants, fast offensive and defensive conversion, quick shot, fast scoring, he likes the sun back then, he wants to replicate this feeling of fast fighting, and he feels that he has the capital, and he doesn't need to worry about the physical strength of the players, because he is not D'Antoni, he will not die as the main force, he will always rotate eight, he has two engines of Harden and Lillard, and there is a rotation lineup of up to twelve people.

The further widening of the point difference made the Eagles even more impatient, and Josh tried to prove that he was the new Eagles again. Stand up', pull out the three-point iron, but this time the Hawks defended quickly, and did not give the Magic a chance to score quickly, but Lillard, who held the ball, was still advancing very fast, taking advantage of the Hawks' unstable foothold, and Turner made a pass and cut cooperation, and poured the ball to Harris who followed up, Harris received the ball outside the three-point line on the oblique side, and there was no one within three meters, this guy instinctively wanted to rush to the restricted area with the ball, but Chen An's yelling came into his ears.

"Don't stop me, three, three, three!"

Harris suppressed his instincts, adjusted slightly, and shot open three-pointers with the most stretch stance, and he was in good shape today, with the ball slicing through a beautiful arc and slicing a few laps on the rim of the basket before falling into the net.

72:46!

For the Hawks, the two minutes before the end of the first half were a nightmare, Harris's goal was a three-point rain, although there were more than 70 seconds left before the end of halftime, the Magic that could fully speed up the offensive and defensive rounds was stretched to three times, and the impatient Hawks completely lost their rhythm, and the new Hawks Josh Smith was eager to 'step up', but he hit the iron again and again, and in turn was beaten by the Magic team again and again.

At the end of the half, the Magic hit three more three-pointers, and the last ball was still a whistle, which Lillard threw out just after halftime, and even Lady Luck was on the Magic's side today.

No one could have imagined that this game would turn out like this, at halftime, the score was 81:46, the Magic led by 35 points, the Eagles were completely crushed, the Phillips Arena was silent, as quiet as a cemetery, only the laughter of the Magic players echoed in the arena.
