Chapter 611: Three-point battle

Dwight Howard's double-double stats look good, but his offensive efficiency isn't great, after all, he was sandwiched between two Wallaces by the Pistons, and he took nearly 20 shots to get those 14 points and 11 rebounds, so it's not something to boast about. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Osborne scored 22 points in the half, which wasn't a very high score, but it was efficient, after all, he didn't take many shots.

The Magic team fell behind so much that the head coach of the Magic team was very annoyed, and the performance of the Magic players in the first quarter gave him hope, but the performance in the second quarter made him fall into the abyss.

At halftime, the head coach of the Magic team said to Dwight Howard: "Dwight, now that you are the leader of the Magic team, what to do next, you should be very clear, it's time for you to take on the responsibility of the leader of the Magic team." ”

The head coach's words made Dwight Howard very excited, he has improved rapidly since entering the league, but he has always been pressed by Steve Francis, which makes him very unhappy, with the support of the head coach, he can give full play to his strength.

However, he was not sure if he could counterattack the Pistons, "Head coach, you also know that the team's performance just now was really bad, and we couldn't resist the Pistons' offense. ”

The head coach didn't expect Dwight Howard to be unhappy because he was the leader, but worried about the team's defense, which was good, and this was the beginning of being a leader, "You don't have to worry about this matter, you just need to explode your strength with all your strength, and the rest of the tasks will be left to your teammates." ”

Dwight Howard didn't know what the head coach was going to do, but he wasn't the kind of person to hold things accountable, so he nodded in agreement.

The Pistons were very quiet here, because Larry Brown didn't set up any tactics, just let them rest and prepare for the next battle, after all, he just said that he didn't prepare any tactics, and it was all up to the players to play at will.

At present, it seems that these players are doing well, and let them arrange the next games freely, I believe they will give themselves a satisfactory answer.

The break passed quickly and the second half began with no noticeable changes to the players of both teams.

If the Magic were still that bad in this game, the Pistons would be able to finish the Magic in three quarters.

The players of both teams are well aware of this, and at the beginning of the third quarter, the young monster Dwight Howard showed his strength, and forcefully pushed Ben Wallace to complete a domineering dunk, and his dunk encouraged the audience, and everyone cheered him on.

Chauncee Billups knows that this Dwight Howard is very difficult to defend, in addition to rough technique, physical talent is unmatched, Ben Wallace is obviously struggling to defend Dwight Howard, but the Pistons don't have to resist so hard, using their own offensive attack to defeat the opponent is the right way.

Chauncy Billups, as the team's commander on the court, knows how to beat the opponent, he believes in the strength of his teammates, Chauncy Billups directly holds the ball and breaks through, first past Jamil Nelson, and then dodged Tony Barty's defense, and then Chauncy Billups pretended to shoot, deceived Dwight Howard, and then he passed the basketball to Ben Wallace on the inside, although Ben Wallace has almost no scoring ability, but a simple dunk will still do, and Ben Wallace got the first two points since he came on the court.

Dwight Howard was a little embarrassed about the loss of position just now, when it was the Magic's turn to attack, he still squeezed Ben Wallace in the strongest way, Ben Wallace blocked the young and strong Dwight Howard was a little difficult, fortunately, Rashid Wallace came to wrap Dwight Howard, forcing Howard to shoot quickly, Dwight Howard really threw the basketball out with his hook hand, but the basketball did not hit, fortunately his bounce was very good, he jumped up in advance and pressed the basketball into the basket, this style of play is very domineering, It's also very clumsy, because a dunk is a scoring tool with little technical content.

Osborne was tired of Dwight Howard's clumsy performance, and then he shook off the defense of Magic player Hiddutkoglou, received a pass from Chauncey Billups, and threw in a three-pointer again, his three-point shot was not much, but the shooting percentage was good, and his scoring statistics also came to 28 points, if the Magic team can't get the Pistons' three-point shot, then the Magic will definitely have no hope of winning this game.

However, the Pistons really didn't give the Magic any hope, and after Osborne made this three-pointer, it seemed to turn on the Pistons' three-point rain pattern, and then Dwight Howard missed the hook again, and Richard Hamilton picked up the rebound, and then broke through quickly, and also came to a chasing three-pointer near the three-point line.

The Magic team was forced to have no choice, and the head coach had to call a timeout to relieve the pressure, and he told the players not to be afraid of the opponent's three-point shots and play their own characteristics.

Dwight Howard also knew that a two-point shot could not save the Magic, so in order for the team to have a chance to win, he said to everyone: "Guys, let's go shoot three-pointers in a while, don't be afraid to miss the shot, and leave the rebound to me if you can't shoot." ”

Dwight Howard's words moved the rest of the Magic team, and then the Magic and Pistons started a three-point shootout.

After the pause, the Magic team also ran wildly, trying to get rid of Osborne to find the hand space, Osborne didn't know why the originally calm Hidutkoglou worked so hard, only to see Jamil Nelson pass the basketball to him, and then he took a step back and threw the basketball, this time the shot still did not go in, fortunately, Dwight Howard spoke the word, and under the bag of Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace, he grabbed the key rebound, and he passed the basketball to Hiddo Koglou who ran to the bottom corner.

This time, Hidutekoglou lived up to Dwight Howard's expectations, and under the defense of Rasheed Wallace, he threw in the first three-pointer of the Magic.

Hiddo Koglou was excited after he hit a three-pointer, and then he ran to Dwight Howard to celebrate, and Osborne seemed to know what the Magic were going to do.

Then the Pistons' counterattack was also very fast, Richard Hamilton and Chauncy Billups cooperated tacitly, Chaunci Biluups broke through with the ball, Richard Hamilton followed up, and then Chaunci Biluups went from the left, Richard Hamilton went from the right, he also found space in the bottom corner with the help of Rasheed Wallace's blocking and pick-and-roll cover, and then he received Chauncey Billups' pass and it was also a three-point shot directly into the basket.
