Big Van Gundy called a timeout to bring the tempo back to the Magic's side, but Big Van Gundy also understood that it was impossible to play turtle tactics over and over again in this era like when Pat Riley was coaching the Knicks.

This era has changed, and it is no longer possible for the center to repeatedly take the ball inside and attack like the four major centers, so the tactics set by Van Gundy Jr. for the Magic are different from the tactics designed by Van Gundy Jr. for the Rockets.

Little Van Gundy really asked Yao Ming to forcibly take the position repeatedly at that time, and he wanted to adopt retro tactics now, but the times are different, and Yao Ming is not Ewing.

Big Van Gundy didn't completely copy the previous New York experience, and the Magic's current tactics are not to put Howard's low position first, but to put Howard's stealth deterrence first.

Howard plays more off-ball sports, and he often goes up to block and then comes back to the spot, which allows Howard to be more flexible in his movement and activates the Magic's perimeter players.

There are many advantages to Howard's change, the only downside is that it often makes Howard disappear on the offensive end.

Van Gundy ordered the team to replay the pre-Magic tactics at this time, which made the Monster a little uncomfortable.

When the Magic wanted to suppress the rhythm and play their own rhythm, the Nets were not idle, and the little general let Henry Forth defend Howard, freeing Horn to devote himself to the offensive end.

The junior general did not change the core of the team at a deep level, but made a personnel change.

At the end of the timeout, the magic ball, the magic really began to let the monster come up more to block and dismantle at this time, and then ran back to the card position without the ball.

Big Van Gundy used this method to allow Howard to get stuck more easily, use more off the ball, and use his physical advantage to score. But what he didn't expect was that Warcraft had never worked with a good point guard.

Nelson took advantage of Howard's block to get a good opportunity, went and didn't give the ball back to Howard, and took the ball himself and hit a long-range shot.

Nelson did hit the ball, but the Magic's strongest and most characteristic thing didn't hit it, and Howard didn't hit it.

At 14:14, the Magic finally recovered two points, and the Nets came back quickly, and Horn still took Howard around outside.

Once Howard leaves his lair inside, the Magic's inside line is weak, you must know that the Magic really has no one to guard the inside line except Howard.

At this time, Wallace easily slipped in and beat Turkoglou and scored 2 points.

The Magic still had a sense of incongruity after changing their style of play, and Big Van Gundy thought about using Ryan Anderson to start defending Horn like the little general, and let Howard stay inside and not come out.

Horn and Howard are indeed players of different dimensions, and a few minutes later Howard is back on his track, and Horn is on his track.

The Magic and the Nets began to enter a stalemate, the Magic kept playing high blocking, and Howard forced the interior once he seized the opportunity.

On the Nets' side, Horn organizes the whole team when he has the ball, and tries to play off-ball offense when he doesn't have the ball, so that the team can avoid a backwater.

At the end of the first quarter, the two teams were tied at 27-26, and the Nets still led by one point.

This result is unexpected, generally speaking, fans imagine that the Magic Nets are devastating, and the Nets will be half-crippled in a while.

But the reality is that there is no such development at all, and the reality is that the Magic and the Nets are playing their own games.

The Magic have the advantage of the interior and the thickness of the lineup, but the Nets are not bad either, relying on offensive and defensive transitions and wing athleticism to score non-stop.

In this way, the Magic did not suppress the Nets, and at the beginning of the second quarter, there were finally some surprises on the court.

At this time, the Magic changed to the bench lineup, and once the Magic's bench lineup was without Howard, it became a pure team that played high post blocking and breaking through the ball.

The Magic's bench lineup is a very small lineup, Davis, Redick, Weaver, Duhon, Harbour, this lineup is very small.

After changing to such a small lineup, the offensive and defensive transitions that the Nets relied on before and the cutting of the wings could not be played, because the opponent was more flexible on offense.

And the Nets were very unlucky, encountering the scoring explosion of the Magic bench lineup, and in just 3 minutes, the Magic cut 12 points and left the Nets behind in one go.

The Magic finally took the lead, but it didn't rely on Howard's interior power at all, nor the Magic's overall tactics, but the Magic's bench lineup.

At this time, Reggie Miller also laughed on the side: "The game is really full of chance, before we all thought that the Magic and the Nets, Horn and Howard were fighting each other, but the two teams were not on a parallel line, and Horn and Howard were not on a parallel line, and now the Magic is playing on the bench lineup but it is interesting!" “

Kerr also interjected at this time: "Although the Magic's lead seems to be an accident, I don't think it's surprising, although the Magic's bench lineup is not small, but it is still stronger than the Nets." The Nets themselves have a weak attack, and their bench lineup has even weaker attack, but the Magic is different! The Magic's bench lineup has a very stable scoring ability, which the Magic can't compare! ”

As soon as Jonathan saw that the Magic was ahead, he immediately blacked Horn on the side: "Horn really can't beat the Magic, and the Magic is leading again now, let's see what Horn does!" ”

Big Van Gundy is mentally prepared for the team's bench lineup to take advantage, and it is not surprising that he and Cole have an advantage in their bench lineup, and they are ahead at this time.

The little general was a little surprised to see that the other party was ahead, he always thought that the team would not be chaotic if there was Horn. But the Magic bench lineup started to play from the outside at this time, and he really didn't have a temper, and the little general could only continue to observe at the critical moment.

Horn clearly felt on the court that the Magic changed the bench lineup too quickly, and it was impossible to play fast, and the Nets should slow down at this time.

So Horn shouted at Jordan Farmar who came off the bench at this time: "Slow down, slow down, let's play half-court offense!" ”

It's hard for Jordan Famar to slow down, he's the kind of player he dribbles to the Magic's half, and he just doesn't shoot directly at this time but passes to Marshon Brooks, who is a fan of Horn, and he immediately passes the ball to Horn.

Horn took the ball, and at this time he actually started to play the idea of the Magic low post.
