Chapter 936:-stirring sticks
Carter was annoyed right now.
When he entered, Carter was in a good mood, didn't he just win the championship favorite Heat team before, his performance has been good since he joined the Warriors, and the atmosphere of the Warriors is also very good, so that the veteran is very happy there.
As a result, ******, he was unhappy when he entered the court, and it was Curry who entered in front of him, according to NBA rules, the bigger the player, the later he entered, which showed that the Warriors still valued him.
When Curry entered, he received a lot of cheers, and when he entered, the fans suddenly changed their previous joy, and all kinds of boos and insults rang out, some called him a 'traitor', some called him a 'liar', and some called him a 'slut', Carter was almost angry and vomited blood.
Carter understands that he did get into trouble last season, but this is not his intention, and he patted his conscience and said, when the game is played, who on the Magic team has him so hard? A bunch of bastards, led by Lewis, were there as a monk for a day and a clock for a day with the mood of being a fool of a fool.
So, Carter was angry.
Old Nelson obviously saw the change in his feelings, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Wen Si, I know your legs are already hungry and thirsty, go up and buckle these bitches!" ”
The Warriors' starting lineup is: Chamberlain, Ibaka, Jamison, Carter, West.
The Magic's starting lineup is much more tangled, and their playmaker is Jamal Nelson - the same surname as Nelson Sr., so much so that Nelson Jr. has been his son in the hearts of pseudo-fans for a long time.
Nelson Jr. was also quite miserable, he suffered a tragic injury in the 2008-09 season, which not only ended the Magic's championship dream, but also allowed him to return to his previous "not good or bad" situation after recovering from the injury.
In addition, the Magic signed Chris Dujon, who played poorly last season and shot just 37 from the field. 3%, and even lost his starting spot at the end of the season, but he was a good backup point guard, while the original first backup "White Chocolate" Jason Williams could only play the third point guard.
At the No. 2 spot, the Magic spent $19 million to keep J. J. Reddick, it's very necessary.
Last season, starting point guard Vince Carter was a disappointment, averaging just 13 per game against the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals. 7 points, shooting 36. 7%, at one point, there was a voice for Redick to start, and his loss of form was the key to the Magic's elimination.
At that time, Magic fans were extremely dissatisfied with Carter, but the bad news came, and they quickly understood what it meant to be in a blessing and not knowing the blessings, and Carter, who was scolded miserably, ran away directly when his contract expired in the summer, and went to the sworn enemy Warriors with a base salary, of course, this is also the reason why fans angrily called Carter a traitor.
Now that Carter is gone, the Magic find that they have no one available at the No. 2 position, so they have no choice but to use "Ah Q" Richardson.
Richardson just arrived in the summer, which means he's here to fill Carter's void — Redick can't start, and he'll have to help the Magic maintain their constant firepower as the sixth man.
In this way, Richardson can start, he is a tough player, good at hand-to-hand defense, and also has some ability to play in the low post, but most of the offense comes from the three-point line, even a meter away, after coming to the Magic, Richardson has a chance to get more open three-point opportunities.
The starting small forward is an acquaintance of the Warriors, Frenchman Michael Petrus, and the Magic have also signed second-round rookie Stanley Robinson, but this is only a non-guaranteed contract and is likely to be cut before the season starts.
In the power forward position, "Mr. 100 million" Rashad Lewis continued to start, because of Carter's arrival, Lewis's number dropped last season - this is a summer, the Magic team publicized it, Carter hated it, paralyzed, Lao Tzu a quarterback, and your fucking Lewis has a fart relationship?
In addition to Lewis, the Magic also have Brandon Bass and Ryan Anderson on the bench.
Buss was almost "abandoned" last season, which is very undeserved, and the scrappy and murderous he should be reused, and it is rumored that Magic management has reflected on this, and the new season is expected to increase his playing time.
Anderson, on the other hand, has been working hard in the offseason, and if the two can achieve a virtuous cycle, it cannot be ruled out that the head coach will move Lewis to the small forward position.
Center, Dwight Howard is undoubtedly the Magic's ace, and it is because of his existence that the Magic have built the strongest defensive system in the league despite mediocre perimeter defensive qualifications.
Off the bench, Poland's Marcin Gortat is the league's coveted big man, who represented Poland in the 2011 European qualifiers in August, averaging 18 points and nine rebounds per game.
Gortat's form has declined somewhat last year, but his height and mobility can be trusted, but unfortunately in front of him is the insurmountable Iron Man Howard, and Gortat will hardly have a chance to get ahead without a trade.
In addition, the Magic also signed Daniel Alton, who was worth a lot before the draft, but the market plummeted on the day of the draft and was selected by the Magic in 29th place.
The Magic team as a whole has no major hard injuries, has the best center, the starting five Tigers are good, the bench depth is very impressive, and they will be one of the favorites to win the Eastern Conference for the next few years, but only 'one', and will never become the Eastern Conference champion.
The two sides came on the court, and when the ball was jumping, Howard, who was holding his breath, grabbed the ball before Chamberlain and picked the ball to Nelson Jr.
Magic fans immediately screamed, at least the initiative in the opening was in their hands.
West is notoriously aggressive defensively, and it's not a good fit for him to play playmaking guard, because he's too impulsive and can certainly bring the team's rhythm to the fire, but the Warriors already have a hot Chamberlain, and the point guard needs a Billups-style calm veteran.
Nelson Jr. ran to the front court against West's defense, and Howard reached out for the ball with his back to the basket on the left wing, and Nelson Jr. immediately passed it in when he saw this.
The whole league knows that the Warriors defense likes to shrink inside because they have the greatest defender in the league, Chamberlain, and Chamberlain guards the restricted area.
So, if they could, teams would start attacking from the outside, but obviously, the Magic couldn't do that.
Howard got the ball with his back to Chamberlain, turned around directly, and on the commentary bench, ESPN's number one commentator Reggie Miller exclaimed: "Oh God, am I dazzled, Dwight is going to attack Z head-on?" He'll be capped! ”
Jeff Van Gundy, another ESPN commentator, said confidently, "No, Reggie, we have to trust Dwight, he's not an idiot -- well, he's a fool!" ”
Howard was too confident, he did work hard and improved in the summer, but what did he think Chamberlain was doing in the summer? Is it a game to lead a team to play in the World Championships?
When the monster cut crosswise, Chamberlain knew his purpose, and simply, Chamberlain pretended to be shaken and quietly followed.
In this way, when Howard jumped up and dunked, Chamberlain took a step from behind and slapped the ball down.
Seeing this, West shouted from outside the three-point line: "Well done, Z, your hot pot must be very cool!" ”
Howard glared at West viciously, and because Richardson had grabbed the ball, they could attack again.
In the defense of the Warriors, it is generally a one-on-one defense, and the number of times of packing, supplemental defense, assistance defense, and rotation is very small, which is mainly the reason why they have a group of defensive giants, not to mention Chamberlain, West, Ibaka, Jackson, and Barnes are all fierce in defense, and Curry has improved a lot in defense under Bowen's tutelage.
Now Jamison and Carter's single defense is not outstanding, but they will never drop the chain, so the Magic team finds it difficult for them to deal with the opponent in front of them, so they can only continue to cooperate, so the blow to their confidence is very severe.
Stan Van Gundy understood this and stood on the sidelines and shouted, "Run! Run! Run! ”
Richardson broke through with the ball, Carter once played in the second position of the Magic team for a season, and he knows very well the positioning of this position - not simply scoring, but also organizing, because this is what Turkoglou did before, and the Magic system is also arranged like this!
That's one of the reasons why Carter played so badly last season, he's used to being an attacking striker, a passing playmaker or something, and he doesn't know much about it.
Richardson jerked in, Carter let go first, and then jammed him, Richardson couldn't pass the ball, so he had to jump and shoot.
Okay, Carter's mission is done, he used to do the same thing, shoot the basketball, and then the Magic's offensive system is finished.
In this way, Carter suddenly felt that he should go to all 30 teams for a circle, so that he would not be a bunker?
The basketball hit the iron happily, Chamberlain held Howard one arm high and dragged the ball into his arms, West received his pass and ran all the way forward, but the Magic returned to the defense quite quickly, and the Warriors did not have a chance to play a quick offense.
Carter followed, he helped West at the top of the three-point arc, West broke through and passed the ball to Carter, and he helped Jamison in the middle of the wing to do a screen, so that Jamison pulled sideways, and the Warriors had two offensive points.
Carter made a false shot, Richardson jumped up in a daze, Carter was going to pass the ball to Jamison, because he saw Chamberlain from the baseline into the box, obviously only need a transition to score.
But Richardson's jump gave him another option, and in the face of his opponent in mid-air, Carter hit it directly and threw the ball away.
"Huh!" Three-point hit!
"Toot!" The referee blows the whistle!
3+1, the Warriors fans at the scene couldn't believe it, and they were stunned for more than a second before they screamed.
Carter was stunned for at least two or three seconds, and he couldn't believe it, West came up and bumped his chest with him and shouted: "An assist, brother, I came with an assist at the beginning!" ”
Caterner said, "******, I threw it away, why did I get in?" ”
Magic fans were about to cry, and the invectives of 'traitors' and 'liars' were even louder, and they all thought that Carter was deliberately playing around with the Magic last season to disrupt their team.
"This goddamn shit-stirring stick!" Howard thought so, no way, he played more than 90 games last season, and Carter couldn't play a 3+1.
Added free throw, 4:0.
The Magic counterattacked, and Howard finally stopped stubbornly asking for the ball inside, he first ran to the free throw area to help Nelson Jr. make a cover, and then received on the wing to maintain the threat, and the two cut into the box almost at the same time.
At this time, Lewis was in the middle of the range, Nelson Jr. passed the ball to him, Lewis got the ball and squeezed it in, and then hoisted the ball into the inside, at this time Howard just landed under the basket, and when he got the ball, he turned around and threw the ball to the basket.
Seeing this, Van Gundy Jr. pounded the table and said passionately: "Beautiful coordination, the offense starts from the organization of the guard, passes through the big forward, and finally the center scores, this is the standard positional attack." There's no doubt that the Magic's positional battles have always been one of the best in the league! ”
"How does it compare to the Warriors?" Miller asked with a grin, of course he knew that this partner was a loyal fan of the Magic team, no way, who made the head coach of the Magic team his big brother?
Although Van Gundy Jr. is the younger brother of the Magic coach, he is still very fair, commenting: "If the Warriors want to play positional warfare, then Nelson Sr. can build the best positional warfare team in the league, but they rarely engage in positional warfare, they have a genius like Chamberlain, and it is too wasteful to play positional warfare." ”
He's right, the Warriors are never imprisoned by tactics, they will choose how to play tactics according to the situation, that is, everything will change!
This is the benefit of having a talented player, when the Bulls had Jordan, the so-called triangle offense was just a variety of means to get Jordan to score.
West hoisted the ball to Chamberlain, who got the ball and hit it twice with his back to Howard, and after feeling the opponent's defensive determination, Chamberlain did not force it, but passed the ball to Carter on the perimeter.
Carter got the ball, and everyone's attention subconsciously fell to him, but Carter didn't jump up to score, but threw it back as soon as he received the ball!
After Chamberlain passed the ball, he first moved sideways, then turned quickly, and suddenly passed the monster to the basket, so that Carter's pass arrived just in time, and he received the ball comfortably for a layup, and scored two points lightly.
The Magic fans let out a howl of pain again: "Carter, you **** is really a-stirring stick!" You gave Howard last season, why didn't you pass it like that? ”
