Chapter 182

Maddie singled out Wang Jun again, turned around and pulled the ball back and stepped back, making a quick stop jump shot. 12 to 16.

You can't stop Maddie by confrontation alone, his offensive style is not complicated, but he can dodge the defense.

The Nets attacked, Wang Jun ran at full speed, and the person who changed his guard became Girisek.

This change, of course, is aimed at reducing Maddie's physical exertion.

Kidd immediately shouted at Kittels, "Rick, run." ”

Kittels also began to run at full speed.

Kidd shouted at Martin again: "Response"!

Then, after the pick-and-roll, he passed to the middle.

Martin has been coached by Kidd, mainly in the passing side. An interior player who can only grab rebounds and score is not qualified, especially an interior player with excellent athletic ability like Martin, and it is a waste of talent not to practice dribbling and passing.

Martin took the ball with one hand and dribbled a step, Howard hurriedly caught up to resist the man, and it was definitely not possible to rely on Tyrone Lue to prevent misalignment.

Martin passed the ball to Kidd, who ran to the bottom corner on the right, Tyrone Lue chased after him, and Kidd gave it to Kittels at 70 degrees on the right.

Maddie was separated by cover and switched to Collins for Andrew to chase down.

Kittels didn't shoot, didn't break through, moved a step sideways, and hoisted to Wang Jun, who ran to the low post on the right.

Wang Jun stretched out his long arm to win the basketball, and the person was already in the penalty area, and his muscles tightened and squeezed Girisek, and turned to the bottom line.

Girisek, who also weighs 95 kilograms, doesn't like to fight and now he has to fight, otherwise the opponent will score easily.

Wang Jun's upper body muscles were tense, his hands were like grabbing a rebound, and he jumped with all his strength after bending his knees. Jumping to the top of the two-handed shot, Girisek didn't bounce well. I could only squeeze it as much as possible, but I didn't cover it. The ball went in. 14 to 16.

Zhang Li shouted: "It's amazing, Wang Jun scored 10 points with Maddie Biao at the beginning." Girisek was still suspected of a foul on the ball, but the referee didn't blow it. ”

"I have to think of some way to prevent Maddie, and Wang Jun himself is afraid that he can't prevent it."

Lawrence knew that Wang Jun couldn't prevent it, as long as he could reduce the efficiency, so he still arranged a single defense, and only Maddie broke through to cover it.

The Nets used the "Jordan Rule" against Maddy, which is simply a resolute single defense. Trying to defend the other 4 guys, even if Maddie scores more points and his teammates score low, the Magic still lose.

Maddie also wants to lead his teammates, but his teammates have poor offensive ability with the ball, and unless Maddie attracts the bag and divides the ball into the open space, it will not be efficient.

Maddie tried to change things at the start of the season, but now he finds that his opponent only needs to use this defensive strategy. Or can only rely on yourself.

Maddie asked for the ball outside the three-point line, leaned on Wang Jun with his back, turned to the frame, and made a quick stop jump shot. Wang Jun tried to jump up and close his eyes, but before his hand reached his eyes, the ball had already flown towards the basket. Or in. 14 to 18.

Maddie scored 18 points and had a terrifying shooting performance.

If only he felt this way all over the court. I don't know how many points to score.

Wang Jun runs from the outside to the inside. This time it attracted Howard to shrink the defense, Kidd split the ball into the middle, and Martin made a pull-and-go jumper. 16 to 18.

When Maddie pulled out the shot again, the ball finally deflected, and Wang Jun immediately went on a fast break, and Maddie had to follow.

Wang Jun went to the baseline and ran to the perimeter, but Maddie didn't follow because Martin beat Howard in the middle of the race, catching the ball and killing it under the basket.

Maddie defended the basket, Martin gave the ball to the right side, and Wang Jun was empty. Howard followed Martin's ass and saw that the ball was in no hurry to defend the bottom corner.

Wang Jun made an empty jumper, with perfect rhythm and just the right strength, and three points through the needle. 19 to 18.

Seeing the Nets overtake, Yu Jia breathed a sigh of relief. "The third three points in the first quarter, Wang Jun scored his 13th point, this time he was too strong, and the Nets took the lead for the first time."

"Magic, the rest of the people have to step up, they can't win like this." Zhang Li said with a smile.

Maddie knew he had to open up his teammates, pass the ball as soon as he received it, and wait outside the three-point line for an opportunity.

Tyrone Lue and Howard blocked, broke through and split the ball, Howard was close to Kidd in the middle, passed inside to the basket, Andrew singled Collins, turned and hooked his hand out.

Collins squeezed him outside the three-point line and hooked him too far.

Wang Jun ran to the front again under the fast break, Kidd grabbed the rebound and gave it to Kittels, who brought it to the front court to Martin, Martin took the ball to stabilize it, and passed it to Wang Jun who was back in the bottom corner.

Just after halftime, Collins made a cover for Wang Jun at 70 degrees on the right side to block Maddie, Andrew withdrew directly into the inside, and Wang Jun took the ball sideways and took a step forward in the middle of the emergency stop jump shot.

The shot was missed, but Martin rushed to grab the rebound in the front court, distributed it to Kidd on the perimeter and reorganized, and Wang Jun ran to the left side again.

Andrew went to the low post with Collins, Maddy could only chase Wang Jun again, and Kidd passed to Kittels, reducing the offensive tempo.

Once the rebound is grabbed, the attacker will once again have 24 seconds to attack, and Wang Jun will start to take Maddie around the court.

With 24 seconds fast approaching, Kittels cut to catch the ball and made a layup. 21 to 18.

Magic coach Jonny Davis finally called a timeout.

The timeout was noticeably late, and the Magic, who once led by 10 points, were now overtaken by 3 points, and morale took a serious hit.

Jonny is just a transitional coach, and Rivers, who led the Magic to the playoffs three times in a row, can't do anything with this lineup, and he doesn't have any ideas to improve defense.

Jonny called a timeout because he was forced to show his incompetence.

"Tracy, if it's Wang Jun defending, you can go head-to-head on the perimeter, I believe you can throw the ball in, attract the bag and then divide the ball, and the others are running on the perimeter to look for opportunities, and the inside line is covered without the ball...... Drew comes on, Andrew comes on. ”

Jonny drew on the tactics board, the tactics were simple, and his response was to strengthen the attack.

Drew Gooden, who has a hand-shot ability, good offensive skills and footwork under the basket, and a strong style of play, was selected by the Grizzlies with the fourth pick in the first round last season and was selected to the All-Rookie team.

However, he is a player who is strong in attack and weak in defense, and his defense is average, and it is also difficult to limit the Nets' running and fast break.

Maddie listened to the coach's arrangement, her face expressionless.

As a leader, he rarely speaks out and doesn't yell at his teammates on the pitch like Kidd did, asking them to adjust.

When Rivers was there, he always felt that Maddie was playing "too lonely" and Maddie didn't like to listen to it.

Now that Rivers is gone, Jonny lets Maddie play as he pleases, and the team can't win, and instead of being happy, he has some slackness.

As the game continued, the Nets played harder, and Maddie fouled him when he burst to the basket, giving him free throws and preventing him from scoring easily. Wang Jun on the periphery has no ball to fight closely, and he does not let Maddy hold the ball comfortably.

Maddie running for the ball is also physically demanding.

The Nets led 33-31 in the first quarter.

Maddie scored 26 points on his own, and the rest was only Howard with two points and Girisek with two points.

The Nets blossomed more, and Wang Jun scored the most.

In the positional battle, Wang Jun kept running, and after throwing off the defense, Gooden did not change the defense in time, and he scored with a 45-degree shot on the right side.

In the last minute, Wang Jun counterattacked and misplaced Tyrone Lue, won a foul, hit both free throws, and scored 17 points in a single quarter, setting a personal record.

In the second quarter, Jefferson came on the court with a bench, and Rucios and Korver formed an outside line, and the inside line was Williams and Collins, who could attack and defend.

The Magic could only rely on Gooden and veteran point guard Rod Strickland to attack, and the margin gradually widened. (To be continued......)
