CHAPTER XX: Two and a Half Sections

Rick Pitino was also very decisive, immediately called a timeout, and then asked Jonny: "Jonny, how is it, can you play?" ”。

Faced with a question like Rick Pitino, Jonny naturally nodded, he can play, for Jonny, even if it is the beginning of the second quarter, it is not a big deal, at most it is a little tired.

Soon, the Celtics replaced Jonny, and Kevin Harlan saw Jonny return and laughed: "Rick Pitino was very decisive to switch back to Jonny again, at this time the Magic had just narrowed the score to 16 points, and they just saw a little hope, I don't know if Jonny's return to the court will shatter the Magic's hope again!" ”

The game restarted, and at the behest of Chuck Daley's courtside, the Magic started to wrap up Jonny from the start, and they didn't want the momentum of chasing points that had just begun to be ruined by Jonny. Jonny feels the hard time when he gets the ball, and it's hard for anyone when the two players are Doug Christie and David Wesley clinging to you.

Jonny held the ball and glanced down at the three-point line, just in front of his feet. At this time, Doug Christie frantically used his body to push himself, and if Jonny fell to the ground at this time, it might be Doug Christie's defensive foul, of course, it is not easy to say, maybe the referee will blow Jonny for fake falling, so Jonny will not be stupid enough to really fall to the ground directly.

He glanced at the reason for the three-point line, just

Subsequently! Jonny explained this with his own actions, after he looked at the position of the three-point line, he actually pulled it up directly on the spot and shot a three-point shot directly! Dry pull!

Swish~~~! The white nets swing again! The TD North Shore Garden Arena resounded with earth-shattering cheers!

Kevin Harlan's exclamation was a little inaudible in the cheers of this piece: "Jonny came up and made a strong three-point shot!" A very ungodly three-pointer! Throwing against two defenders, it actually went in! The difference is maintained at 19 points! ”

And after the ball was thrown, the Celtic bench was also boiling all of a sudden, and the substitutes waved towels. Even Rick Pitino applauded wildly, Jonny's three-point shot was of great significance, directly stabilizing the morale of the army, and also dousing the momentum of the Magic chasing points with a basin of water.

Sure enough, the Magic wanted to return a three-pointer for the next shot, but Mark Price was no longer magical. Jonny's personal defense made the shot ridiculously off, Ben Wallace easily grabbed the rebound after the card was in position, and then the Celtics' fast break came! When Johnny was off the court, the Celtics' fast break was able to play, but it wasn't as fluid.

And after Jonny re-emerged, the fluidity of the fast break was obviously different.

Jonny quickly took the ball and rushed to the frontcourt, and then directly hit another pull-up three-point jumper! Hit again with a bang! The Magic players froze in place, and Jonny's sudden cold arrow left them defenseless, and the goal brought the margin to 22 points. The margin is over 20 points again, and the Magic are about to collapse again after Jonny reappears!

"The Magic were so lax that they didn't know how to stare at Jonny, and they let Jonny hit a pull-up three-pointer, maybe Chuck Daly needed to call another timeout." Kevin Harlan said, although Chuck Daley did not call a timeout, it does not mean that Kevin Harlan said wrong, in fact, Chuck Daley accepted his fate. Although the team has a strong bench, it is a mess. There will be no results at all in a short period of time!

Chuck Daley suddenly felt the urge to leave the Magic.

Especially when he saw that the rhythm that the Magic had just found, and was taken away by the Celtics the moment Jonny appeared, he wanted to yell at the sky: Why!

Jonny is so good at controlling the tempo, which Chuck Daly didn't expect, and in the case of Anfernee Hardaway's injury, what the Magic are missing is a player who controls the tempo. For a strong team. Tempo is extremely important, and the reason why the Celtics were able to beat the Bulls in his opening game was because they had a firm grip on the tempo on the court.

And now, the Celtics are once again in control of the tempo, when the Magic have to be exhausted by the Celtics' rhythm. The outcome of this game is also doomed.

After Jonny re-played, the back-to-back hits didn't have any effect no matter how much the Magic defended.

In the end, in the moments before halftime, Jonny made a quick breakaway, and then a very quick pull-up jumper, and when the timer was about to end in the last few seconds, he directly made a three-point shot! The shot point is very high, the parabola of basketball is also beautiful, and Jonny's ultra-long air is also very beautiful, this is a picturesque shot!

With a bang, the timer beeped and Chuck Daly set his sights on the scoreboard, 78:49, a 29-point deficit, trailing by 29 points at halftime, and almost doomed the Magic to a fiasco.

At halftime, the Celtics' locker room was full of laughter, and Rick Pitino had already laid out the second half of the game, and at the beginning of the second half, the main team would continue to play for about 5 minutes, maintain the current point difference in the middle of the third quarter, and then end the game directly.

On the other hand, in the locker room of the Magic, there was silence, everyone was doing their own thing quietly, Chuck Daly was hiding to the side and smoking, he didn't make any adjustments about the second half, and now Chuck Daly is hesitating about one thing, whether he should resign directly. Chuck Daly knows what kind of impact it will be if he resigns directly, at least he and John Gabriel will become laughing stocks!

And magic is the laughing stock of the laughing stock!

In fact, in the first half, some people began to laugh at the Magic, if the Magic did not choose to change the coach, but let Ricky Addubatu, who has improved significantly in the playoffs, continue to be the head coach, Jonny stays, Ronnie Secali stays, plus Mark Price and Derek Harper, who signed this season, the Magic have every chance to challenge the Bulls' throne!

But now, with Anfernee Hardaway seriously injured and Anthony Walker showing off his infinite IQ, the Magic started with two heavy defeats, and perhaps even had no hope of making the playoffs.

The halftime break ended in the laughter of the Celtics and the silence of the Magic, and the second half of the game continued, and Chuck Daly did not make any adjustments on the Magic side, and some of the overwhelmed Magic players could only continue to play according to the Magic lineup in the first half, but it was still changed, Anthony Walker strongly asked to play, and Bootero chose to give up his place.

At the beginning of the third quarter of the game, Jonny was full of fighting spirit, in fact, he was unwilling to leave the game early, this game was his revenge battle against his old club, he must have fun, but Rick Pitino had already stipulated that he would play for another 5 minutes in the third quarter before he would be rested, and Jonny had to choose to compromise, after all, it was very bad to refute the head coach from the beginning, although Jonny knew that as long as he proposed to continue playing, Rick Pitino would not disagree.

The referee's whistle blew, the Celtics served, and Jonny took the baseline ball from Ben Wallace and advanced to the front court with the ball.

And when Jonny took the ball and stood at the top of the three-point line arc and beckoned his teammates to open up the space, the big guys understood that Jonny was going to play alone in this ball.

Doug Christie is very nervous, there are really few singles like this in this game, most of them are very clean shots or breakthroughs, like this way of hanging, Jonny has not used it.

And just when Doug Christie was nervous, Jonny stepped forward and actually passed Doug Christie directly, and the nervous Doug Christie actually tripped himself directly in the process of turning!

With no one in front of him, it seemed like he could go straight to the basket or dunk, but of course he had to rush to the box first.

But at this time, Anthony Walker suddenly gritted his teeth and stepped up, and he still remembers Chuck Daley's arrangement at the beginning, that is, when Jonny breaks through, he needs to make up for it.

Jonny watched Anthony Walker suddenly rush over, completely leaving Tim Thomas, at this time Jonny only needs a simple pass, Tim Thomas can hit this unguarded shot in the open position, but Jonny has to play this ball alone, even if there are more defenders in front of him, he is not willing to pass.

Jonny and Anthony Walker collided outside the box, and Anthony Walker didn't fall to the ground, because he knew that falling to the ground at this time would only be whistled by the referee for a defensive foul, because he was moving, and Anthony Walker held on.

But at this moment, Jonny suddenly took a turn and directly erased Anthony Walker, a very clean turn, and Anthony Walker was unstable and was about to fall to the ground, but Jonny took a big stride directly, and then jumped and dunked!

"Bang!"

Anthony Walker heard a bang behind him, he knew he was finished, this time he was the background emperor, and Johnny singled out a violent dunk at the beginning of the third quarter!

The hoop swayed, and the Celtics fans in the stadium once again let out earth-shattering cheers, and the game almost made their voices hoarse!

In the next 5 minutes, Jonny didn't play much effort, and in the last ball, he also came with a beautiful 360 turn and crotch-down dunk, which directly shocked the fans in the audience.

And just when the TD North Shore Garden Arena was cheering, the point difference came to 36 points, and the suspense of the game was completely over, the main force of the Celtics first chose to rest, and then the Magic also changed to a full bench to announce surrender.

Chuck Daley only said the first sentence of the second half when he was replaced on the bench, obviously he was very disappointed, originally he chose to join the Magic, that is, for the Magic's promising duo, he can be said by the outside world to be on the same level as Phil Jackson, naturally unwilling to watch Phil Jackson go further and further on the road to the dynasty, so he chose the most suitable Magic team for sniping the Bulls.

But now, the Magic did disappoint Chuck Daley. (To be continued......)
