Chapter 282: The Magic's Three-Point Rain
The second half of the game began.
Today's Christmas game, the Lakers and Celtics, has also begun now.
It's just that the Hornets and the Magic have really stolen too much of their attention, and the fans who are still following the Lakers and Celtics are much less than the Hornets and Magic. Now, the second half of the game between the Hornets and the Magic begins, which attracts more attention from fans.
In the past game, the Magic had the upper hand, but only at the beginning of the first quarter. After the start of the first quarter, the Magic basically didn't find their own rhythm, the Hornets basically pressed them down, and later, the Magic team became more and more difficult to score, and they couldn't defend themselves against the Hornets.
Whether the Magic team can catch up or even overtake the score when they are behind by fifteen points is more important in the third quarter. After all, if the Magic had fallen too far behind at the start of the fourth quarter, there might not be any point in continuing their game.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, the two teams sent all their main players, and all the main players played, and it seemed that it would be another battle filled with gunpowder.
The first ball, in the hands of the Magic.
Soon, the first three minutes of the second half passed, but the form of both teams was not flattering......
In the past three minutes, the Magic team shot a ball, and Howard hit two free throws, scoring a total of 3 points, and on the Hornets side, Zhong Yu did not feel very good, only Zhong Yu broke through and caused Howard to foul, got two free throw opportunities, and scored two points.
In the first three minutes of the game, the two teams played irons, one after the other, and the fans next to the stadium were almost asleep...... This is not what they want to see at all. The two teams are too iron, which makes them feel a little incredible-
"What's going on...... Why can't the two teams find their own touch at all? ”
"Yes, let's not talk about other players, let's talk about Zhong Yu, when Zhong Yu's own hand is not good...... Seriously, it's a matter of course that the other players don't feel good. ”
There is no reason to say this, but, Zhong Yu's shooting accuracy is basically engraved in everyone's minds, if you want to make everyone think about the game in which Zhong Yu performed very badly, this is not simple, if you want to say that Zhong Yu has no feeling in a game, and he is pressed and beaten by others from beginning to end...... That's even more unlikely.
Therefore, preconceived, many people feel that if Zhong Yu's shooting percentage is not high, it is normal for other players to be not high.
The Magic called a timeout...... Now both teams are not feeling good and a timeout is more important for both sides.
"Hey...... Are we in any trouble? Scott said, "Why don't you keep finding the feel?" ”
Everyone didn't speak, and Scott didn't dwell on this issue, after all, every player has encountered a bad hand, and in many cases, they can't be blamed.
"Thankfully, now we're in the lead." Scott said: "Next, we will speed up the attack, we can shoot when we have an opportunity, and we can find our touch. In addition, to increase the breakthrough efforts, it is mainly necessary to break into the inner line...... Tear through their defenses with a breakthrough. Defensive pace needs to be maintained, though. Still defending the outside of the Magic team, don't let them find advantage on the outside. ”
The managers of both sides explained something, and then the players of both teams reappeared on the pitch.
"When you come back this time, you must break their defenses! We can't strike iron anymore! "The fans are anxious, after all, they were so far ahead of their opponents and now it would be terrible if they overtook them.
The first ball was from the Magic team, Nelson controlled the ball over half the court, Paul's defense, a lot of small movements, and kept up to the opponent, Bird's classmates felt a little at a loss in front of Paul's defense.
He summoned a pick-and-roll, and Turkoglu came to his side, and he broke through to the inside, but a fake steal by Jongwook forced him to stop going deeper and pass the basketball back to Turkoglou.
Now the person who defends Turkoglu has temporarily become Paul, and Zhong Yu has also passed, and the two of them put defensive pressure on Turkoglu, but Turkoglu did not hesitate to shoot the ball, and directly shot a three-point shot.
Although the Magic team's shooting rate was terrible before, his three-point shot still did not hesitate at all, and shot directly, so that Zhong Yu lost their blocking opportunities.
"Huh!" Jump shot hit!
The Magic used a three-pointer to score 3 points!
With 11 points left in the scoreline, the ball was back in the hands of the Hornets.
"Hit this one!" Paul controlled the ball while shouting to his teammates as he passed. Indeed, just now the Magic team shot a three-pointer, it can be seen that the shooting rate of this group seems to have begun to recover, if the Hornets don't score again, it is likely that they will set off a wave of scoring**, then the Hornets will be very dangerous.
Zhong Yu took Bogans and suddenly passed through the depth of the inside line, and Paul also began to break through at the same time, and then Zhong Yu went directly to the bottom left corner.
Paul entered the inside of the Magic team at this time and was blocked by several of their players, but the basketball in his right hand was thrown directly and bounced into the hands of Zhong Yu in the bottom corner.
Zhong Yu immediately made a fake jump shot outside the three-point line, and Bogans just caught up, thinking that Zhong Yu would not give up such a good shooting opportunity, so he jumped up.
Jongwook quickly retracted the basketball, and then accelerated directly.
Bogans in the sky secretly cursed the cunning guy, but it was too late, and Zhongyu only took two steps out of the range he could defend.
Zhong Yu took two steps forward, met Howard who was waiting in front of him, and suddenly, he put away the basketball, brushed directly to Howard's side, and came under the basket!
In this way, Jongwook is above the rebound, and he basically can't shoot from this angle, and he will be blocked by Howard if he falls back, or walk.
Without thinking about it, Jongwook jumped up, glided a little distance in the sky, and in the middle, tricked Howard and Lewis with a shooting feint, and threw the basketball into the basket with a look back at the moon on the other side of the basket.
“cool!”
Some young fans saw this action and stood up to cheer for Zhong Yu.
Looking back at the moon, the most commonly used actions in the league are obviously Kobe and Wade, the two of them have good physical fitness, strong ability to stay in the air, and can shake off a few players in the sky before scoring.
Now, Jongwook has also inherited the fine tradition of this scoring guard, and his layup is very beautiful.
The game continued.
The Magic team was not in a hurry, they passed the basketball to Lewis on the outside, and Lewis ambushed in the bottom corner and shot a three-pointer directly!
Three-point hit!
The Magic got another three points, and the score gap was 10 points left!
"The Magic team is here!" Many of the players who watched the game in front of the TV felt the danger......
The Magic are a crazy team, and when it comes to three-point shooting, it's unknown how many of the league's predecessors have broken the record.
Such a team, once their three-point shot finds its touch, the result is hard to imagine.
Then, the Hornets started to attack again, Paul passed the ball to Zhong Yu, Zhong Yu began to break through again, but the looking back just now consumed a lot of his physical strength, he failed to break in on the inside, and he didn't slow down in one breath, and passed the ball directly to Chandler next to him.
Chandler starts to make a layup...... But this time he cupped.
Howard had already stepped on his foot, then immediately jumped up and covered Chandler's layup, and then, the basketball was grabbed by Nelson, and the Magic immediately began to fight back.
The Hornets didn't completely defend for a while, and Birdie took advantage of this opportunity to move sideways and then shoot a three-point shot! Jump shot hit!
Another three!
Three three-pointers in a row made the Hornets a little dizzy, and the score gap was only 7 points left.
"We can't let them do that anymore!" Many Hornets fans seem to be more anxious, because a team like the Magic is really dangerous.
Scott is also secretly anxious, but at this time he can only hope that the players will solve the problem on their own.
Then, the Hornets attacked again, Paul broke through the inside, and then distributed the ball to Zhong Yu on the outside, Zhong Yu was watched by several people, so he passed the ball to West in the high post, and West's high jump shot failed, and the ball was returned to the hands of the Magic.
The Magic returned again, and Turkoglu shot another jumper from the outside!
"Another three!?" The fans were stunned...... However, the basketball flew in the sky for a while, and then bounced off the rebound.
It's just that the Hornets players are not allowed to rejoice, Howard on the inside, jumped up, dragged the basketball into his arms, and then, the whole person bounced up again and bombarded the basket!
Chandler desperately came up to block the possibility of being injured, but how domineering is the monster? He pushed Chandler to the ground and smashed the dunk straight into the basket.
The referee's whistle remembered that the ball was awarded a defensive foul by Chandler, and Howard's goal was valid!
Now, perhaps Howard's character has exploded, and his free throw actually fell into the basket very simply! In this way, the Magic team scored another 3 points, and the score gap between the two sides was only 7 points.
Moreover, Howard's 2+1 has seriously boosted the morale of the Magic team, and many members of the Magic team are around Howard, and it can be seen that they are elated......
"It can't go on like this." Scott shook his head and made a decision, and then the Hornets called a timeout.
The Hornets were a little dazed by a wave of vicious attacks from the Magic, and hurriedly called a timeout.
The situation is getting confusing again.
