Chapter 940: Sweeping up the strong teams in the east

Big Van Gundy used to coach in the Heat, and he was deeply valued by Riley, but unfortunately his achievements were high, and finally in the 06 season when the Heat were going to win the championship, Riley sent him away, coached himself, and won a championship with infinite glory.

Speaking of Riley, he is really not very good, as a head coach, he is notorious for squeezing the value of players, and when he is the general manager, he likes to be the emperor behind the scenes, and now the outside world speculates that the reason why the Heat team hired a little-known Filipino as a coach is to facilitate Riley to control the team.

Still, Van Gundy has to thank Riley, who has learned a lot, including his tough hand and iron whip when dealing with players.

Howard's face to Chamberlain's table xiàn disappointed Magic fans, many people think that Big Van Gundy should replace Howard, the monster is obviously not in shape, against Chamberlain's table xiàn is too inferior, there is no style of the first center in the East at all.

But Big Van Gundy firmly refused, and even Howard was the only person on the Magic team who played the full 48 minutes in this game, and Big Van Gundy had only one sentence for him: "Either beat Chamberlain and stand up, or be defeated by yourself and prostrate on the ground forever!" ”

Many people feel that Warcraft is like a child who doesn't grow up, likes to be funny, likes to mess around, and refuses to be strict.

However, he had a surprising ability to withstand pressure, and at the beginning of the second half, under the iron command of Big Van Gundy, his form slowly began to return.

At the start of the second half, the Magic made substitutions, with Marcin Gortat on the inside and Howard on the inside, Petrus at small forward, Nelson Jr. and Richardson on the outside.

Big Van Gundy also compromised a bit and sent the Polish Hammers to Howard as an assistant, not because he reduced the pressure on Howard, but because Chamberlain was too aggressive in the first half, and he had to contain this guy.

The first ball of the second half was for the Warriors, and Chamberlain took the initiative to hit Howard with the ball under the basket, but Gortat came up from the wing and hit Chamberlain with a thick chest muscle that was so strong that it seemed to have grown from eating urea, which caught him off guard and caused a turnover.

The Magic counterattacked, the offense was still carried out from the outside in, Petrus passed the ball to Howard, the monster turned and buckled, Chamberlain frowned and jumped up, aren't you looking for a hat?

'Bang Dang', a big hat, Chamberlain gave Howard another fatal blow.

As a result, something surprising happened, Howard, who was hated, quickly landed, he picked up the ball that fell behind him, and jumped again, this time Chamberlain did not have time to jump to defend and was dunked by Howard.

The Warriors' offense is to use Chamberlain as a bridgehead, and he also lived up to the trust, once again facing Gortat and Howard's bag, like a cunning spirit fox, repeatedly dribbling in the restricted area, withdrawing from the interior line successively, and then turning and breaking through, hitting the basket and scoring a hook layup.

The Magic counterattacked, the Warriors quickly settled to start a joint defense, Howard covered Nelson Jr., and then quickly rushed into the interior, received a pass from Nelson Jr., and suddenly hit the defensive Jamison to a violent dunk.

2+1, Howard seems to have made a comeback.

Nelson Sr. pouted and made a pull-down gesture to the inside.

Another offensive and defensive switch, Howard wanted to use this offensive to strengthen his confidence, but as soon as he took the ball and changed hands, Jamison, who was misplaced on defense, simply pulled it up and dragged Howard down.

"Despicable!" Howard and Big Van Gundy were just as angry, and of course they knew the plan of the dead old man on the other side, to cut down the shark!

Howard's free throws were as unreliable as O'Neal's, standing at the free throw line, Howard was directly opposite a group of fans waving glow sticks, in the dazzling fluorescent swarm, Howard was lost, two free throws and two irons, Chamberlain jumped up to win the rebound, and the Warriors were fast breaking.

Curry and Iverson rushed to the front court from left to right, Jamison followed behind, and Chamberlain stayed outside to cover, and he sly ran in a serpentine position, blocking three people by himself, creating an absolute open space advantage for his teammates.

Curry made an easy layup and scored two points.

The Warriors' offensive firepower was very fierce, scoring one after another, but Big Van Gundy did not call a timeout, he looked at Howard and the others with a blushing face, and was silent.

That's what Big Van Gundy learned from Riley, using the power of silence to make players reflect.

At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors extended the score to a 19-point lead at 75-56, and Magic fans exited the game disappointed, predictably another slaughter today.

In the live broadcast room, Miller couldn't help but gasp and said, "Can I really go and pay the mixed ring?" How strong the Warriors are, the Heat and the Magic, although they may not be the two strongest teams in the East this season, but in terms of lineup, they are indeed the best in the East, but such a team is still slaughtered by the Warriors, so who can stop the current Warriors? ”

Van Gundy Jr. put forward a different opinion, he said: "We have to consider that the real credit of the Warriors in these two games is not Chamberlain, but the outside players, Carter, West, Curry, Jackson, and even Jamison, who have affected the overall situation of the game." ”

In the fourth quarter, the Magic team mainly played positional battles, Gortat and Howard came to an inside pass, Howard attracted Chamberlain's defense, but passed the ball to Gortat, the Polish Hammers are the best at dunking, and they have to score when they are strong under the basket.

Chamberlain and Howard were entangled, and seeing that a powerful dunk was about to take place in the heart of the Warriors, a figure rushed from the outside into the inside, pressed forward from behind, and slapped the ball down.

Carter landed, and the Magic fans were dizzy.

Carter's defense has been criticized, and he is on the defensive end, and the blocking is the worst, Carter has a great bounce and a long enough arm span, but I don't know if it's because of consciousness or whatever, he has very few blocks.

Magic fans can't remember if Carter blocked an opponent on their home court last season, but now, Carter has made a strong impression on them when Carter blocked Gortat's must-hit dunk at the Magic's home court.

The Warriors also battled positionally, Chamberlain ran to the high post to cover Curry, Carter and Ibaka staggered, Curry seized the opportunity to pass the ball to Ibaka, who made a jumper, but the shot was too quick and the ball bounced out.

Chamberlain stepped in, got up in the air and picked up the rebound in the frontcourt, and immediately made a move to attract Howard and Gortat to wrap up the defense.

Carter picked up from the wing, Gortat hurriedly pulled out again, and just then, Chamberlain seized the gap and stepped under the basket and scored on a quick layup.

The Magic attacked, Chamberlain was still blocked in the penalty area, and Nelson Jr. passed the ball to Petrus in the middle.

Petrus came straight to the Yellow Dragon, he got the ball on the run, and the ball was not far from the hoop with the ball in his hand, and there was only one Chamberlain left in front of him, and Howard was still stuck next to him.

The Frenchman gritted his teeth and now had a shortcut in front of him, which was to score by throwing past Chamberlain.

Just do it if you want to, Petrus really threw his hand in the face of Chamberlain, and he wanted to be a ****.

Although Chamberlain was stuck by Howard, he bounced too well, and his consciousness was even better, so he jumped up against the monster and slapped the ball down.

Little Nelson saw that there was an opportunity, he picked it up from behind, grabbed the basketball, and then took a vigorous step to the restricted area, and made a backhand layup with a lever.

As a result, Chamberlain's feet just hit the ground and jumped up again as if he was stepping on a spring, this time he jumped higher, and he didn't even turn back, just according to his impression and guess, he waved his hand and slapped it, and little Nelson pulled the rod and shot, and the ball was pressed down!

Two hoods!

The ball was covered, and Howard went to grab the ball again, at which point Carter and Curry also rushed up, and the two sides tore into a ball, and the referee hurriedly blew the whistle to award a scramble.

Warriors fans are already screaming, and this kind of two-hat is a rare event on the basketball court once in a season.

After scrambling for the ball, the two sides were about to jump the ball, Carter and Howard stood opposite each other and prepared to jump the ball, and then the referee looked at the video replay and said to Curry: "Boy, don't hide back, it's the ball you and Dwight grabbed, go, go jump ball." ”

Carter is bouncing so hard that if he fights with Howard, it's still possible, and if Curry, it's to give the ball away.

However, the referees are not easy to fool, in the end, Curry and Howard stood together, and Nelson Jr. stood next to him firmly, this ball must be Howard's, and Howard will definitely shoot him when he touches the ball.

Curry thinks so too......

So, when the referee threw the ball up, Howard flew up like a lit cannonball.

Curry, on the other side, turned around and rushed to Nelson Jr.'s side, the time was too short, no one reacted to what was going on, Howard muscle formed a memory, without going through his brain, jumped up and slapped the ball to Nelson Jr.'s position.

Curry blocked Nelson Jr., jumped up to grab the ball, and landed on the ground and rushed to the front court with lightning speed.

Even if the Magic team is fast to defend, they can't prevent this kind of ball, Curry runs like a rabbit, Sa Huan controls the ball and runs, rushes all the way to the frontcourt, and scores a layup.

Magic fans have accused Curry of playing tricks, making small tricks, and not being upright enough, but the referee didn't blow the whistle for violating the rules, which means that the offense was reasonable.

Offense and defense switched, Magic attacked, Howard's confidence had come out, and he took the initiative to ask for the ball on the inside.

This time it was Chamberlain's turn, Howard hit and turned and changed direction, finally rushed to the basket, took a deep breath and was just about to go to the basket, Chamberlain reached out and ripped him off.

Howard was thinking about how to buckle it, but Chamberlain's slap woke him up directly from his dream, and he took a deep breath before, which almost made him breathless, and pointed at Chamberlain after landing, so hated that he couldn't speak.

The Warriors counterattacked, suddenly changed their tactics, and the elder Nelson saw signs that Howard was confident of rebuilding, so he changed his style of play, not hitting Chamberlain's point, but attacking from the perimeter.

Curry, Jamison and Carter kept cutting in the air, so that the Magic's defense was a bit chaotic, and Howard could only stare at one person, and the three-man rotation of air cuts and passes made his defense porous.

Big Van Gundy had to call another timeout, and the old Nelson took the opportunity to change the lineup again, and Chamberlain was completely out of the game, because they still had a 20-point lead!

There is no suspense in this game, all that remains is to see how the Warriors slaughter their opponents and how the Magic struggle.

After the timeout, the Warriors fielded a lineup of Ibaka, Jamison, Jackson, Carter, and West, which was another set of tactics for the Warriors, mainly to conduct maneuver warfare.

The Magic team is still Howard on offense, Ibaka and Jamison went to wrap him, the monster saw that there was no Chamberlain, and suddenly the fighting spirit was high, like a tiger going down the mountain, he pushed off Ibaka, and went to hit Jamison, and when he turned around to dunk, Ibaka dragged him down......

It's the free-throw line again, and it's one of two free throws......

The Warriors attacked, with Carter and Jamison forming a link, running off the ball on either side, and West cruising the ball at the three-point line with the ball, passing the ball whenever he saw that the two had open opportunities.

Although the Warriors played for 20 seconds this time, they were very fast and passed a lot, so it felt like they were still at a fast pace.

As long as Howard is the finisher when the Magic attack, the Warriors will foul inside, and in the last four minutes, the Warriors will foul a total of 11 times, sending Howard to the free throw line 10 times, but Howard is very weak and only scored 10 points.

Yes, Warcraft's free throw shooting percentage is only 50%!

At the end of the free throw, Big Van Gundy almost burst into anger, watching the basketball come out of the hoop again and again, he gritted his teeth and decided that he must practice Howard's free throw skills fiercely in the future!

But free throws are also points after all, and the Magic team slowly recovered the score, and the game was over, and the difference was not large, and the Warriors won two consecutive wins with a 9-point advantage of 102-93.

Two straight wins against the Eastern powerhouses.
