Chapter 81: The Magic Trio (Ask for Recommendation Votes!) )
Gordon slammed the dunk and swung around the basket for a full circle before coming down, and when he landed, he turned his head and glared fiercely at Moreira, who was caught off guard, and then retreated.
"Gordon is very fierce, look at the guy who defends him, he is terrified of him." In the stands, Nuggets scout Jared Jeffries turned to Magic general manager Rob Hennegan and said with a look of envy in his eyes.
Hennigan smiled and didn't speak, although Jeffries's words sounded very comfortable, but in the face of a remnant formation like the Clippers, facing an interior line composed of an Angolan center and an undrafted power forward, if Gordon can't play a crushing performance, then their management is really blind.
In the offensive round of the Clippers, Tang Shuai controlled the ball and pushed forward, fell outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the left side of the frontcourt, and stretched out to make a "2" gesture.
This is a tactic specially set up for him, and it is also the tactic they have practiced the most in this more than a week of training.
Tang Shuai knows the difference in strength between the two teams, the Magic team gave too much power in the opening game, if they can't pull a goal back in this round, it is likely to be blown up in the opening game.
The Clippers' players began to run according to the tactics, with center Moreira taking a step outside the free-throw line and shooting guard CJ Wilcox starting to run from a 45-degree angle on the right to the top of the arc.
When Moreira was in place, Tang Shuai passed the ball directly, and then began to run straight towards Wilcox.
It's a very purposeful, but difficult to defend, center to counter, and the three-point shooting tactic at the top of the arc was most common with last season's champion Warriors.
Tang Shuai and Wilcox met at the top of the arc, Wilcox stabilized his center of gravity, put his hands in front of his chest, and blocked Payton, who was defending Tang Shuai.
The opportunity presented itself in the split second of a successful pick-and-roll.
Tang Shuai successfully ran to the 45-degree angle of the right wing at the top of the arc, he was already in a good position, his hands outstretched, ready to catch the ball and shoot.
It was a great opportunity to make an open shot.
At this time, as long as Moreira passes the ball, it is an absolutely wonderful attacking round.
But at this moment, something happened that was completely unexpected.
Basketball originated in the United States, after so many years of development, the basketball culture of the United States has been constantly changing with the times, but there is one thing that is different from European basketball, different from other regions of the basketball culture has never changed, every time a player completes a provocative score on the head of another player, the other player will definitely find the court in the next round.
Although Moreira's nationality is Angola, he completed his college studies in the NCAA, and he has embraced the authentic American basketball culture, which naturally has such a culture.
Gordon not only completed the air relay, but also glared at him with such angry eyes, which obviously made him very unhappy, when Tang Shuai made offensive tactical gestures, he made the right run, but when he caught the ball, Gordon slammed into his back, and the sense of oppression that came with the huge power gap made his anger ignite at once.
What tactics had long been thrown out of his mind, and he only had one thought in his mind now, he had to score a point on Gordon's head.
Tang Shuai didn't receive the ball for a while, and when he looked up and saw Moreira swinging his back and fighting and was about to beat Gordon, he couldn't help but sigh, what is this Moreira doing!
He has long been clear about this group of teammates, Moreira's strength is not bad, but it is only the same blue skill pack as him, how can he top up to Gordon with a purple power pack!
"Yannick, pass!" He shouted.
Just as he was shouting, the Magic's Payton had successfully bypassed Hamilton's pick-and-roll, cutting off the passing path between him and Moreira.
This is the NBA, and any opportunity is fleeting, and there is no way to give you a second chance.
Tang stomped his feet handsomely, but there was nothing he could do.
However, Moreira himself did not intend to pass the ball, when Tang Shuai shouted, he just raised his head, and then turned his head again, and tried to arch in with all his strength.
At this time, Gordon pressed Morella with both hands, his feet sank down, the green tendons on his thick arms burst out, and the full strength of his body was concentrated on his upper body.
Molare couldn't resist a few times, his face became anxious, and he turned his head to use the turn to find a new offensive opportunity.
At that moment, Peyton glanced back, and as Moreira turned, he slammed into the rush with a spurt.
Peyton's speed was so fast that Tang Shuai couldn't remind him.
"Smack!"
As soon as Moreira was about to grab the ball and turn around, he felt a lightness in his hand, and when he looked again, there was still the ball in his hand.
Payton made a steal, made a flashy quick turn, and rushed forward with his head down.
Tang Shuai quickly retreated at this time.
The Magic have several players with unlimited potential, and this is not a team that is good at playing positional battles, but it is a team that is good at pushing quickly and playing counterattacks, and at the moment when Payton makes a steal, Hezonia on the outside runs wildly towards the Clippers' backcourt almost at the same time.
When the rest of the Clippers reacted, they had already been pulled out of the distance of three meters, and it was too late to make up for it.
Tang Shuai is always on Payton's breakthrough route, although his defensive skill package is a green bag in CUBA, which is not enough to ensure that he can defend against Payton, but he uses his own judgment to grab the defensive position in advance, which makes up for the shortcomings in his defensive ability to a certain extent.
However, this is not of any use.
The Magic team is two people who are fast attacking, and Tang Shuai is only one person.
Payton advanced quickly, waited for the three-point line, and directly made a tough three-step layup, and after seeing that Tang Shuai did not lose his defensive position, he threw the ball to Hezonia who was recommended on the right side synchronously.
Hezonia catches the ball and throws it with his hand, and he throws it as soon as he throws it.
Tang Shuai could only look at the ball that fell straight into the net bag behind him, and gritted his teeth angrily.
Damn Moreira!
4:0!
The Magic scored another goal.
In the next round, he stretched out his hand to signal his teammates to run the same tactic, and once again ran to the position, what made him extremely speechless was that he thought that with the lesson of the previous ball, Moreira would definitely pass the ball, but what he never expected was that the Angolan center forward chose to play strongly again.
This time without waiting for Payton to steal, Gordon, who had already predicted, directly reached out and stabbed the ball in Moreira's hand, Payton reacted quickly to pull the ball, advanced to the front court, and used his body to squeeze Tang Shuai away, a backward pass that didn't look at people, followed up Gordon grabbed the ball, Dapeng spread his wings, and poured the ball into the basket with both hands.
6:0!
In just over a minute of the opening game, the Magic directly played a wave of offensive climax, and Gordon personally completed two quite cool slam dunks, and the state of the whole person was completely mobilized at this time.
Tang Shuai is really angry at this time, he is not afraid of a god-like opponent, he is afraid of a pig-like opponent, there is a gap in the strength of the two sides, and if he gives Moreira this way, he can't fight at all.
He finally couldn't help it, and yelled directly at Moreda, who was returning to the defense: "You. . . He. What the hell are you doing! ”
