Chapter 564 Big Van Gundy Has a Big Head
·
Zhuan Zhu
Chen Yan scored 21 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists in the first half. For him, these statistics are stable and mixed with a little ordinary.
Howard, the core player of the Magic, scored 9 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocks. At first glance, this data is not bad. After all, Howard is a player who is good at defense. No one has ever expected him to do too much on the offensive end.
Looking at another statistic, 13 of 5 free throws, the Magic fans here collectively want to scold their mothers. Howard’s performance at the free throw line today can be called a spy level. As long as he is a little normal, the leading team in the first half is It's magic.
The Suns fans also want to scold their mothers, because the referee in this game is biased by the naked eye. If the referee can be fair, the fans feel that the Suns' lead has already reached double digits.
The Suns intended to speed up in the second half. What they didn't expect was that Howard's performance on the defensive end was actually more active than in the first half!
Howard's active defensive attitude has paid off. The two big blocks that block the sun not only blocked the Sun's attack, but also greatly boosted the morale of the Magic.
Howard's mentality did not fluctuate too much due to the free throw in the first half, and his carefree and indifferent character became an advantage at this time.
Mr. Lewis, who has been criticized in the previous few games, stood up and hit two three-pointers one after another.
Under Howard and his leadership, the Magic blasted a 10-3 spurt, overtaking the score in one fell swoop, 60-65.
Zhang Lili shook his head and sighed: "The Suns wanted to speed up and open the score too much in the second half, which actually made them mess up."
Director Xu said: "The Suns have no tactics to speak of during this period. Whoever gets the ball is eager to throw the ball. They want to win the game so much that the players' mentality becomes impetuous. D'Antoni called a timeout. Look. Let's see how they adjust."
D'Antoni didn't blame the players. He knew that the players played a bit chaotically during this time because they were eager to win. As a head coach, he naturally wouldn't blame these players with strong desire to win.
"Hey! We are only one step away from winning the championship. I know everyone wants to win the O'Brien Cup tonight, but what I want to say is to put aside distractions, focus on the game, share the ball with teammates reasonably, and play well. Our rhythm, enjoy basketball instead of thinking about the trophy, you will get what you want!"
D'Antoni began to arrange tactics after he adjusted the player's mentality. In his opinion, the sun's misfire during this period is more of a psychological reason.
After the timeout, the Suns did not adjust the lineup.
Nash controlled the ball, and Chen Yan used Stoudemire's screen to go around to the flank.
It is a very basic and practical tactic. Nash immediately sent an assist, and Chen Yan raised his sword!
"Beep beep beep!"
The referee blew his whistle before the basketball hit the net.
Stoudemire was blown to a move screen.
Chen Yan and Xiao Si spread their hands together.
This ball was played very unreasonably.
It seems that the referee took advantage of Taiyang's illness to kill them!
Ball exchange.
Alston slowly dribbled the ball across half court, and now the Magic were leading, and he wanted to control the rhythm.
Nash put pressure close to him, trying to force Alston to make a mistake.
Nash has excellent insight, he knows what his teammates are thinking.
Alston protected the ball sideways. At this time, the streetball king stopped showing off and played steadily.
Courtney - Lee came up to meet, quickly transferred to Turkoglu after getting the ball.
After receiving the ball, the Turk forced his way to the basket. Barnes stuck to the defense tightly. Turkoglu had no speed advantage or much height advantage.
D'Antoni is not good at mobilizing troops, but he used the sun to let Barnes defend Turkoglu to great effect.
Turkoglu's characteristics have been touched to death and it is difficult to play.
Protruding to the elbow position, he turned around and passed Lewis. It was more like guiding the ball than a point. Turkoglu did not create a shot for Lewis.
Lewis handed the ball to Alston while setting him a screen.
Alston used the cover to kill the basket and made a small throw.
The basketball bounces up the front and then climbs into the net.
60:67.
Even luck is on the Magic's side with this ball.
The situation gradually turned against the sun, and D'Antoni on the sidelines offered the ultimate secret: give the ball to Chen Yan.
Nash didn't directly give the ball to Chen Yan for singles. He first lobbed it to Barnes on the left, and the latter watched for a while and passed it to Dior.
Dio leaned against Lewis and turned quickly.
Before turning around, Dior had observed Chen Yan's running position.
Chen Yan used Stoudemire's cover to cut in.
Dior made a very fake pass and passed the ball to Chen Yan very skillfully.
Howard shrank in the penalty area and did not come out. Chen Yan made a confident mid-range shot.
"Shh!"
The Nets are blooming, the ball has a perfect arc, and you know it is hollow as soon as you shoot it!
62:67.
Nash and Diaw's broad vision always made it easy for Chen Yan to score.
A good passer can make the scorer very pure, as long as the end is considered.
"Good shot! When the team encounters difficulties, Chen Yan has to stand up, and it has to be him!" Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.
Director Xu also nodded at the side: "Chen Yan played the ball very smartly. He knew that Howard, the Magic's last line of defense, would definitely guard the inside in this situation, so he took a mid-range jumper. He was very decisive and clear-headed. If he hesitated Courtney Lee came up from the side in seconds, and the breakthrough will not be easy, and the shooting will be interfered."
The Magic attacked, Howard mentioned the high position to Alstom to cover.
Nash observed Howard's movements and went around the screen in advance.
Alston is also a chicken thief, one crotch goes directly in the opposite direction.
Nash couldn't change, so he could only watch Alston break through his defense.
Alston sacrificed his most signature throw near the free throw line, and Stoudemire's supplementary defense came up one step further.
"Bang!"
Alston is very confident, but his finishing ability needs to be improved. The basketball hit the front of the basket and popped out.
Chen Yan retreated to receive the rebound, and advanced halfway by himself.
With Chen Yan holding the ball, the Magic's defensive attention was all attracted.
Chen Yan slammed on the right three-pointer and used Dior's cover to get rid of Courtney Lee.
Facing Lewis's defense change, Chen Yan was right, he was hitting Lewis.
The Magic's two strikers are not very athletic, and Chen Yan can use his speed to beat them.
Chen Yan accelerated from the oblique side and rushed in. Alston chose to let go of Nash to assist in the defense. He knew that it would be difficult for Lewis to defend Chen Yan alone.
Chen Yan did not plunge into the encirclement of the two of them. He stopped suddenly and then changed the ball holder to his left hand due to bad luck.
The original purpose of this operation was to get out of the shooting space, but when he found that Lewis and Alston were rushing towards him at the same time, he immediately changed his strategy.
Nash got an open chance at 30 degrees from the outside. This is an absolute open space. The two are defending Chen Yan, Howard is in the penalty area, and Turkoglu and Lewis are pulled to the bottom corner and 45-degree angle outside the three-point line on the other side.
Nash even had two seconds to adjust. After the pause, Nash made a three-pointer.
Hollow into the net, a stable batch!
65:67.
There were only two points left in the score difference, and the Magic players became nervous, and began to guide the ball aimlessly outside in order to stabilize.
Lewis made a hasty shot in the last five seconds.
Miss!
Van Gundy was furious. He is a short-tempered coach, and he can't bear the whining of his players. During the intermission, he repeatedly emphasized the need to be firm and decisive. The players performed well in the second half. Unexpectedly, the point difference narrowed Their mentality of wanting to win and being afraid of losing came out again.
Van Gundy is really speechless against this group of players. They are all 0-3 behind with a total score of [-]-[-] and still have a psychological burden!
The sun counterattacked, Chen Yan accelerated after receiving the ball, and raced all the way to the three-point line!
The Magic players quickly retreated to the inside, they were too worried that Chen Yan would open it.
Chen Yan took the first step from the free throw line, and turned around suddenly before the second step.
Divide the ball!
The ball came to Nash from outside the three-point line again!
Like the last round, it is also an opportunity to open.
The difference is that this is a counter-attack three-pointer after a follow-up.
But it's hard to beat Nash.
I saw that Nash caught the ball and made a shot in one go, and scored a three-pointer with a knife in his hand!
68:67.
The score is overtaken!
Van Gundy's head was about to grow when he saw this scene. Nash didn't score in the first half. He just scored two consecutive three-pointers and had a tendency to open his scoring account.
If Nash and Chen Yan open at the same time, Van Gundy really doesn't know how to defend.
Howard, the core player of the Magic, scored 9 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocks. At first glance, this data is not bad. After all, Howard is a player who is good at defense. No one has ever expected him to do too much on the offensive end.
