The second game between the Magic and the Hawks was still full of people, still full of people, and in the noisy decibel sound, the audience cheered slightly unevenly.
"Toot ~"
There was a timeout, and the sweaty players walked off the field.
"What's wrong with these Magic players today, so fierce!" Millsap touched his aching chest, where he and the young man had collided I don't know how many times, and felt a little numb.
Horford also looked depressed, and spewed out expletives, "Damn Gordon has too many small movements, I really want to hack him to death with a knife." ā
On the court, the Magic led the Hawks by three points 67-64 and always took the initiative after the second quarter. And in the third quarter, there are still 2 minutes and 12 seconds left in the game.
"Coach, we can't continue to wrap Li Dong anymore, and the other players of the Magic today are also okay!" On the Hawks bench, Korver communicates with head coach Budenholzer.
"yes, yes," Bazemore chimed in, "and this rookie is also very good at passing, and I can't catch him every time he makes a mistake, and I don't know how many passes he's made that have penetrated our defence." ā
Budenholzer pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "But have you ever thought that once Li Dong's bag is released, he is likely to attack on his own, and his offensive efficiency has also been seen in regular times." ā
"Why don't you just use Jordan's Rule!" Millsap suggested.
"Jordan's Rule?" Everyone was surprised, isn't this the most famous way the Pistons dealt with Michael Jordan back then? At the core, there are two aspects, either to defend Jordan and do everything to cut off his connection with his teammates, or to defend Jordan's four teammates, Jordan can't win the game even if he scores more points.
How to deal with a rookie in such a way? Is this crazy, Teague thought unconvinced.
Budenholzer's eyes lit up. Rookie, score, physical strength, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, and he seemed to grasp something important!
"He's not Jordan after all, and the Magic are only a one-core team!" Millsap hit the nail on the head.
"That's right. That's it! Budenholzer slapped his thigh, and his head exploded, "I don't believe that he can be strong as a rookie, so we will guard against him alone and choke others to death!" ā
Budenholzer and Millsap teamed up to convince the others. In fact, the Eagles have always felt that it is too cheap to deal with a rookie and constantly wrap up, even if he has a good scoring ability, but how much influence can he have on the game? After all, the playoffs are about defense.
ā¦ā¦
Li Dong and his teammates returned to the court, and he tilted his neck as he watched as Teague took Horford's baseline serve and slowly advanced to the frontcourt.
In this game, the Magic recovered, and he got a double-double of 13 points and 11 assists in less than three quarters, and it looked like he was going to steal Jennings' job.
Teague and Horford played a pick-and-roll and burst to Korver. Korver burst in and hit a jumper from a step forward! 67 to 66.
"Tactic No. 3!"
Jennings dribbled the ball with three fingers out of his right hand, and Magic's No. 3 tactic was the blocking and dismantling of Li Dong and Oladipo on the flanks, and the two of them worked together many times today.
But this time, Li Dongqiu found a difference as soon as he got his hands on it.
"Huh?"
He hesitated and looked ahead with the ball, but Korver didn't mean to grab the bag.
Oladipo's cover was already in place, and Li Dong couldn't care so much, so he flipped his wrist. After a dashing sliding step, it easily brushed Oladipo's side, leaving almost no gaps.
Sefolosha bypassed Oladipo and set up a defensive line from inside the three-point line. And Korver brushed aside Seflosha and made a dribble interference to Li Dong. Li Dong's eyes glanced at Oladipo, who had already evacuated, the position of the two people was very bad, if this point was Korver's speed and arm span, eighty percent would be broken.
At this time, Seflosha rotated and defended in place, and the blocking and pick-and-roll tactics of the two men did not work at all. Ten seconds of offensive time were also wasted.
Seeing this, Li Dong quickly dribbled the ball under his crotch, stepped out with his right foot, bent the inside of his left foot, and pulled the ball back with his right hand holding the ball, and the whole person quickly completed a change of direction in front of the body.
Korver didn't wrap up, facing Sefolosha one-on-one, Li Dong's rhythm was fast, the amplitude was large, and he completed a breakthrough almost instantly!
Seflosha was engrossed, and after adjusting his pace, he kept up with Li Dong, leaning on the other party, and secretly exerting pressure.
The eagle didn't come to wrap up, Li Dong frowned, suddenly stopped his body, and his right hand approached the left hand holding the ball, as if he was going to make a jump shot!
"Worship Buddha feints!" After Sephorosa jumped up, he found that Li Dong had jumped at all, and he could even see the hint of banter in the eyes of his juniors!
Pierce fell, Li Dong rose again on the spot, leaned back with amplitude, and arrogantly played a time difference.
Hit. 69 to 66.
It's a long story, but it's actually all a momentary thing that happens. What the audience saw in the eyes of the audience, Li Dong and Oladipo failed to block and dismantle, Li Dong forced Sefolosha after feintting, shook Sefolosha in the horn area, and then hit a jumper.
Li Dong glanced at Pierce, and the Eagles' defense seemed to have changed a little......
The Hawks attacked, Millsap missed a high jumper, and after two rebounds in the air, he was grabbed by Oladipo, who rushed to grab the rebound.
Attacking and defending in turn, Li Dong received the ball from Oladipo's flying speed.
As soon as he reached the three-point line and put the ball behind his back with one hand, Sefolosha bullied him, his arms outstretched, and stuck to him like kraft candy.
"Bang!" Li Dong exerted his back and leaned his back against Sepholosha.
Suddenly, a huge rebound force came, and Li Dong's right hand controlling the ball shook, almost missing the ball. Over there, Seflosha was also uncomfortable, and he was knocked into the air and moved half a step back, giving Li Dong space.
Li Dong didn't say a word, took the ball and turned around, and broke through to the left side of Sefolosha with one step.
"It's too fast!"
His breakthrough with his back-to-back was extremely fast, and before Sephorosa could react from that back-to-back, Li Dong was running a small motor again, and it was at the level of his shoulders in the blink of an eye!
The commentators broadcast by the imperial court station today are Yu Jia and Yang Yi, and seeing Li Dong's wonderful performance, Yu Jia couldn't help but shout, "Li Dong has been playing aggressively this time!" Let's take a look at his breakthrough, when he passes, he does it in one go, which is really amazing. ā
Yang Yi sighed, "It's really a pleasure to watch Li Dong's breakthrough, there is a domineering spirit that swallows thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the momentum, and Seflosha can't prevent it at all!" ā
