Chapter 130: Winning a Game

In the second quarter, Jonny maintained his hot hand after coming out, and the score between the two sides was an astonishing 72:70, and the Magic led by two points.

It was a big score, the two teams had an offensive battle in the first half, and the defense that both teams originally valued very much, they didn't play any of them, Magic's Jonny scored 24 points in the half, and Anfernee Hardaway had 15 points and 8 assists in the half. The Heat, on the other hand, had more blossoms, and more than halfway through the game, four people had scored double-doubles, Tim Hardaway scored 18 points, Alonzo Mourning scored 12 points, Jamal Mashburn scored 11 points, and Dan Marley, who came off the bench, was also in hot form with 10 points

And there are a lot of problems for both teams, and the problem on the Magic's side is that no one can stand up and score except for Anfernee Hardaway, who was released by the Heat, and Jonny, who is in hot form. The problem with the Heat is that they can't guard against Jonny at all. Therefore, at halftime, the two teams started the second half of the arrangement in full swing.

'In the second half we had to strengthen our defence, we needed to cut off their passes, which we didn't do well in the first half, getting a lot of good passes from Tim Hardaway, and in the second half we had to lock up Tim Hardaway's passes. We're going to win! In the third quarter, the third quarter crush them! Put the victory in your pocket in advance! Ricky Adhubatu said with some enthusiasm.

Jonny nodded inwardly with some appreciation, Richie has improved, he has learned to be inspiring!

The Heat's offense in the first half can be said to be relying on Tim Hardaway's ball, and even when the commentator explains the Heat's offensive round, he keeps saying the same sentence: "Tim Hardaway's pass, xxx shoots directly!" Entered! "So the Magic's adjustment is also very simple, which is to lock Tim Hardaway's passing lane and let Tim Hardaway fall into a personal single.

The Magic played differently from the Heat in the first half, they locked up Anfernee Hardaway's pass and did a good job, but Jonny's countless individual singles in the first half directly destroyed the Heat's meticulous defense and helped the Magic stabilize the situation. In other words, if Jonny doesn't find his form, the Magic will fall behind at halftime again.

"At half-time, the two sides were back on the pitch and the first half was a big game, which didn't look like a playoff game, but I think it's up to the two teams to find their defensive form first. The Heat are currently attacking, Tim Hardaway takes the ball outside the three-point line, Tim Hardaway and Alonzo Mourning have played a lot of playing time in these two games, and Tim Hardaway has played the first two quarters in this game, but Pat Riley doesn't want him to rest yet. ”

"Tim Hardaway possessed the ball and faced Doug Christie's defense, and the Magic have been using Doug Christie to misplace Tim Hardaway in these two games, but the effect is mediocre."

"Tim Hardaway! He got past Doug Christie, but there was something strange on the Magic's side, Marcus Camby didn't come over to make up for it, he just watched Tim Hardaway take this close-range shot from a step inside the free throw line, and the ball went in! The Heat equalized at the start, 72-72! The Magic's defense still seems to be the same! ”

Doug Christie was stepped by Tim Hardaway, but the Magic side did not feel strange, Doug Christie, who is 2 meters tall, has the only advantage when defending Tim Hardaway, who is 1.85 meters tall, is height, so in the game, everyone can see Tim Hardaway passing Doug Christie with speed again and again, but Doug Christie's role is also obvious, that is, to use his long arms to interfere with Tim Hardaway's vision.

And then, the Magic attacked.

"Jonny Lee! He hit another solo single, rushed to the basket, the whistle blew, Alonzo Mourning's foul, and the ball went in! It was his 26th point and Jonny looked excited, pounding his chest! ”

Jonny resolutely rushed into the penalty area and caused a foul on Mourning, which Jonny himself didn't expect, so he seemed very excited.

Standing at the free throw line, hitting a solid free throw, hitting a three-pointer to give the Magic a three-point lead.

Then, with the Heat's offense, Tim Hardaway rushed into the three-point line again, and he once again didn't find a chance to pass, because the Magic players still didn't contain him, and everyone was guarding the players they should be targeting, and they didn't leave an inch. Tim Hardaway couldn't find a chance, so he had to come on his own again. But just after a moment of hesitation, Doug Christie followed, interfering with Tim Hardaway's shot, and the ball didn't go in.

The Magic's offense is still very smooth, and the Heat still can't find a way to deal with the hot Johnny, who has torn apart the Heat's defense with individual singles again and again, and the point difference began to gradually widen. And Tim Hardaway faced Doug Christie, who was already desperately defending, his hand began to be abnormal, and he missed several shots in a row.

When Jonny forced a three-point shot in the face of Dan Marley's defense, the difference came to 15 points, and just 4 minutes after the third quarter, the commentator on the sidelines couldn't help but exclaim: "The Heat is about to collapse, the Magic has blocked several attacks by the Heat in a row, and the difference has come to 15 points. ”

Sure enough, just as the commentator had just finished speaking, Pat Riley called a timeout.

Pat Riley was obviously in a hurry, this game, originally according to his concept, was just like the previous game, so that Anfernee Hardaway fell into a solo fight, which the Heat succeeded, but the other point that the Heat ignored, Jonny Lee broke out, he unexpectedly started individual singles, and the Heat didn't have a player who could stop Jonny.

And now, the difference has come to 15 points, although Pat Riley is anxious, but he also knows that the on-the-spot adjustment can no longer save the Heat, what he can do now is to change the strategy, so he arranged: "Let's play like this, go all out to attack, don't care about defense!" Offensive! Offensive! Attack again! ”

However, this move is already a way for Pat Riley, in the rest of this game, the Heat launched a lifeless offense, but the effect was very poor, the Amway Center kept ringing bangbang, which was the sound of the Heat's iron, and the Magic also won the game with Jonny's continuous output.

At the end of the game, a commentator began to sing praises to Jonny, the biggest contributor to the Magic's victory in this game: "At the end of the game, Jonny scored 56 points in the whole game, which is Jonny Lee's personal playoff scoring record, he almost beat the Heat alone, and the 56-point score is also tied with Wilt Chamberlain in 1962, Michael Jordan in 1992 and Charles Barkley in 1994 in the playoffs single-game scoring record third." At the top two was Michael Jordan in 1986, who scored 63 points, but that was two overtime points. In second place was Elgin Baylor, who scored 61 points. ”
