Chapter 227: Phillips (3)

Li Dong breathed heavily, greedily absorbing oxygen, and his swollen heart and lungs re-moistened his body through blood circulation. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Under the heavy pressure of the Eagles' defense, every score is extremely difficult, and his physical exertion is very amazing.

"Jeff~~~~ Green!"

The live DJ reiterated the name of the goalscorer, using an elongated tone to show Phillips's gangsterism, as if announcing that this was their territory.

When it comes to the bench strength of both teams, the Eagles are actually superior, Mike Scott, Saab Seflosha, Dennis Schroeder, and Muscala. The Magic also have a nine-man rotation, CJ Watson, Evan Fournier, Gordon and Smith.

Phillips' Eagles are formidable, and the suffocating defense is not known how many times stronger than in the regular season. Although Oladipo still fights on the court with Magic players, he does not have the smooth rhythm of the regular season.

"34 to 25, nine points behind." Li Dong silently read the score on the field in his heart, a little worried, and turned his head to look at Coach Scott Skyles.

Skyles' face was pale, and the Celtics were fully prepared, especially for the Magic's strongest No. 2 and No. 3 positions, and the defense was very good every rotation.

Change Li Dong? To change or not to change?

It's a series of wars, and Skyles would love to put Li Dong on the court right now. But once Li Dong is overdepleted, what will he do in the end? What happens in the rest of the game?

With the slightest hesitation, another three minutes passed and the official timeout for the second quarter was reached.

39 to 31. The shooting rate of both sides is obviously not as good as the first quarter, and the slow-paced game is full of help defense, card positioning, and rebounding, and defense has become the main theme of this time.

"Luckily, the opponent is not young. If only each of them were five years younger......"

Li Dong played, with 6 minutes and 38 seconds left in the second quarter, but the Hawks still did not replace all the starters, only replaced Bazemore.

Bazemore was complacent, although Li Dong performed well personally, but the Magic were suppressed by the Eagles, and judging from the rhythm of the court, it was difficult for the Magic to get out of Phillips this year.

"After all, ginger is still old and spicy." He thought proudly, and glanced at Li Dong with some pity, the first playoff game in his life was about to lose here again, it was really sad.

Watson received the ball on the sideline and advanced with the ball, and the Magic began to run normally after halftime.

Oladipo rested, and Li Dong led the team to play the game. In addition to the two of them, there are also Frye, Aaron Gordon and Fournier, a lineup with little to no defense.

Li Dong received Watson's ball from outside the three-point line, and the latter began to run very well, and Hawes walked over to prepare for Li Dong to block and dismantle.

Muscala, who was defending Fry, immediately looked eager to try and was ready to trap Li Dong.

Li Dong waved his hand and immediately made a gesture to single, and Fry immediately stopped the car when he saw it. Then he ran to the bottom corner, which was one of his most accurate three-point shooting areas.

Muscala was stunned, but left with Hoyce.

Bazemore pouted, opened his mouth and squirted. "Without your teammates as pick-and-rolls, you think you can get past me? You're just a rookie. ”

Li Dong didn't respond to him, he made a crotch dribble, and the basketball was exchanged from his right hand to his left hand, and then his body slammed into it, as if he was about to break through to the left.

Electrifying and flint. Li Dong's body changed direction in front of him, and the basketball was handed over to his right hand again, and as soon as he leaned over, he was like a vigorous cheetah, rushing forward quickly!

"No matter how fast it is, it's useless!" Bazemore roared angrily, already ready, moving in small steps, his arms open to defend, blocking the route of Li Dong's breakthrough.

At this time, Schroeder at the other end let go of Watson and wrapped Li Dong.

Li Dong swept the corner of his eye, flipped his wrist and moved, and the basketball made a "bang" on the ground to make a folded line movement, and then hit the right side of Bazemore.

His movements were as agile as a rabbit's rise and fall, and the moment he dodged Bazemore was even more subtle and stunning.

Bazemore's eyes widened, full of disbelief, he could still make changes in such a small space, what the hell was the second change of direction in front of the body to the back? Is the referee sure there is no wrist flip?

The Celtics' defense was instantly messy, and after Li Dong dribbled diagonally and cut in, he threw the ball vigorously and handed it to Watson.

CJ Watson slapped the ball on the floor, shot steadily, and hit! 39 to 34.

"Li Dong made a meritorious contribution as soon as he came up, and this breakthrough in change of direction is really beautiful, we see that the Celtics have already consciously wanted to contain Li Dong, but they still let him find an opportunity." Su Qun sang praises for Li Dong, and then he thought about it, so it didn't seem to be common sense, so he turned to support the eagle.

"The Eagles should be vigilant, they are facing a group of young people, and if they fight until the last minute, the physical strength will definitely form a constraint on themselves."

The Hawks attacked, Sefolosha missed a jumper, and the rebound was taken by Frye.

Frye gave the ball to Watson, Watson advanced to the frontcourt, and immediately distributed it to Li Dong at 45 degrees, and everyone pulled it very open, and the Eagles did not dare to grab the bag directly.

Li Dong was a little amused when he saw Bazemore's appearance as if he was facing a great enemy, and reached out to put the ball on his waist and made a three-threat pose.

He put his right foot on the floor on tiptoe and made a tentative step.

Suddenly, Li Dong's calves tightened, a force was transmitted from his waist, and the whole person rose from the ground without warning, and the bounce was amazing, and he was like a rocket launched at that moment.

"How dare you pull it out?" Bazemore was shocked, no one thought that in such a fierce and tense playoffs, Li Dong would take such an unreasonable offensive approach.

He stretched out his hand to interfere, but the basketball had already been thrown out by Li Dong.

"Probably won't go in, right? ...... such a shot," Bazemore turned to look at the basketball.

The basketball line is very low and flat, and although the hand shape of the shot does not change, the angle and force will be different from ordinary shooting, and even the speed of rotation in the air will be different.

The air flow crossed the space, and the basketball turned into a streamer, "swishing" and passing through the net. 39 to 37!

After Li Dong came on the court, he made a pass and a throw, and instantly narrowed the score gap to only two points, and this series of performances stunned the audience, and even stunned the players and coaches on the bench.

The Phillips Arena fell silent for a moment, and the ease and freehand were gone.

"Is this really a rookie who just made the playoffs?" Coach Budenholzer's head hurts, and he may not be as lethal as Li Donglai when he hits seven inches.

The Eagles asked for a timeout.

Bazemore walked off the field with a black face, the rookie was not cute at all, and he had no respect for his senior. It's a breakthrough or something, which makes him very faceless.

……

After the timeout, the game entered the second half of the second quarter, Millsap and others also returned to the court, and the Magic left Fournier on the court to increase the firepower, and Oladipo continued to stay off the court to rest and adjust.

After Teague returned to the court, the Hawks' defensive area expanded a lot, and he and Horford had two defensive lines, one inside and one outside, covering the sky and the sun, and Li Dong instantly felt like he was stuck in a quagmire again.

The two teams attacked each other at a slow pace, constantly colliding with each other, and the offensive efficiency was very low, relying on the serve to slowly increase the score.

Before halftime, the Magic trailed the Hawks by 15 points, 34-51.
