Chapter 263: The 76ers Evolve
Chapter 263 76ers change formation [Second update]
On April 18, 2011, local time in the United States, the Magic once again faced the challenge of the Philadelphia 76ers at their home court. The latest chapter of the temple
In this game, the Magic team united and would definitely win another game and then move to Philadelphia.
In the last game against the 76ers, Wu Feng could be said to have dominated the entire game. His sharp breakthrough and hot feel not only made the 76ers' defense line full of holes, but also turned their baskets into the sea.
"Warcraft" Dwight Howard is also in the inside, causing great difficulties to the opponent. The offense, defense, and "Warcraft" are doing very well.
Gerald Wallace also brought great help to the Magic. It was his close defense against Andre Iguodala that disrupted the offensive rhythm of the Sixers, which made the Magic win so easily.
"Good morning everyone, welcome to watch the second game of the Magic and 76ers series between the 2010-2011 NBA Playoffs. I am Sun Zhenping. Sitting next to me is Xu Jiping, Teacher Xu, and he will explain this game with me." Sun Zhenping appeared in the studio of the imperial court station again.
The Magic's game schedule is really good. Two consecutive games are at 9 a.m., which is exactly the prime time for domestic fans to watch the game.
The Magic's starting lineup was adjusted today. Stan Van Gundy mentioned Brandon Bass to the starting position. The opponent's main center is a relatively flexible big player with a wide attack range. Ryan Anderson's restrictive effect on him is very limited.
In contrast, although Brandon Bass is not young, his pace is much more flexible than Ryan Anderson and his experience is not much worse, so he has a clear restriction on Spencer Hawys. In the first game, he performed well on the bench, with eight points, seven rebounds, one block, and one qualified substitute. "《
The Magic's starting five tigers: center Dwight Howard, power forward Brandon Bass, small forward Gerald Wallace, shooting guard Vince Carter, and organizational defender Wu Feng;
Here are the Sixers: center Spencer Hawys, power forward Elton Brand, small forward Andre Iguodala, shooting guard Andres Nossioni, and organizational defender Ju Holiday.
"In this game, the 76ers also adjusted their starting lineup. They made their defense more fierce, and Andres Nosioni arranged more small moves to the starting position. In fact, Nosioni played the small forward position, and the reason why he appeared in the shooting guard position is estimated that Doug Collins wanted Andres Nosioni to assist in defense of Wu Feng and completely lock Wu Feng. Haha, doing this can also liberate Andre Iguodala. Doug Collins' strategy is very obvious!" After seeing the starting list of the 76ers, Teacher Xu couldn't help but praise him.
"Yes, although Andres Nosioni's defense is not as good as Ron Artest and Sean Bathir, Andres Nosioni's defense cannot be ignored, especially his small movements and ruthlessness in the defense. It seems that Wu Feng must be careful. Well, the game is about to begin, and we will hand the camera to the scene."
As the picture changed, the footage of Amway's Center Arena appeared in the audience's sight.
The game began, this time, Dwight Howard won Spencer Hawyth on the jump ball and avenged the last game.
However, the Magic's first offense was not good. When Vince Carter passed the ball, he was interrupted by Andres Nossioni, who started the game.
Then Andres Nosioni passed the ball to Ju Holiday.
However, Wu Feng immediately avenged Vince Carter.
When Zhu Holiday dribbled the ball and broke through Wu Feng, his cover was not very good. Wu Feng was quick-eyed and quick-handed, so he let Zhu Huo Ledi pass, but he left the ball directly. (")
Wu Feng made a long pass to Brandon Bass, who scored one-handed heavy drop in three seconds to help the team score first.
The loss in the last game was a big blow to the Sixers. Especially the team's offense was very chaotic, which made Doug Collins always have a gloomy face during training.
Andre Iguodala's sluggishness in the last game was also one of the reasons for the team's defeat. In this game, Doug Collins sent Andres Nossioni to liberate Andre Iguodala's pressure on the defensive end and make him devote himself to the offense.
At the beginning of the game, the 76ers players seemed to be red in their eyes and attacked the Magic's inside line continuously. Andres Nossioni made a move outside the left wing three-point line and Elton Brand actually grabbed the rebound from Brandon Bass' head movement and took the opportunity to make a heavy drop.
The ball hit Dwight Howard's back. After landing, the "captain" roared, venting the depression accumulated in the last game.
Brandon Bass was detained by Elton Brand, so he was naturally unwilling to give up and wanted to fight back.
The Magic seemed a little loose at the beginning of the game. The players were at a disadvantage in defense and rebounding protection. Brandon Bass' layup was directly blocked by Spencer Hawys from the side.
The ball fell to Ju Holiday. At this time, the Magic's return to defense was not in place. Ju Holiday's pass passed through the gap between the players' bodies and reached Andre Iguodala's hands in the frontcourt, who took action outside the three-point line.
With a "swish", Andre Iguodala made a long shot.
"Ba,ba,ba", the team's offense improved, Doug Collins stood up excitedly and applauded at his disciples.
"It seems that Andre Iguodala has really been liberated." Wu Feng murmured to himself as he looked at Andre Iguodala's figure.
The Magic's offense was still fruitless, and the 76ers protected the defensive rebound.
"Clang", the ball hit the front of the rim and bounced high. In the playoffs, Zhu Holiday's three-pointer was obviously inaccurate. He made two of seven shots from the three-point line in the last game, and today such an undefensive three-pointer did not enter the basket.
Dwight Howard was retracing from the inside line at this time. The ball bounced higher and the landing point was a bit difficult to judge. At this time, two inside players of the 76ers were standing beside him, so he did not attack rashly.
Seeing that the ball was about to be obtained, the pressure behind it was given away. Fortunately, Dwight Howard had a lot of experience in this area. His strength in the inside line could not rely solely on his own strength. It would be a fool to use his experienced opponents. However, such a sudden force still slowed down Dwight Howard's action. In this short moment, a figure rushed out from behind him.
Elton Brand grabbed the offensive rebound and turned around and pressed Dwight Howard to make a jump shot.
Dwight Howard's unstable footsteps have never been adjusted. He can only stare at the opponent's jump shot without restraint.
The 76ers were holding their breath in their hearts when they lost the last game. At the beginning of today, they attacked with all their might. "Captain" Elton Brand frequently scored under the defense of Brandon Bass and others, almost opening the situation for the 76ers with one man's strength, and one man scored 8 points. 8 of the first 12 points of the 76ers were his gains.
The 76ers started with 12:4, and Stan Van Gundy's timeout seemed to have no effect. Today, the Magic's overall defense did not have any problems.
However, in terms of offense, the rhythm seems to be relatively hasty, and the choice of shooting opportunities is not very ideal. In addition, Elton Brand seems to have been fucked today, and his condition is surprisingly good. Even under the double-team of Dwight Howard and Brandon Bass, the ball can be sent into the basket.
…………
"Wu, there is nothing wrong with your knees?" Stan Van Gundy looked anxious. He couldn't start the game for a long time, so he had to put his hopes on the bench.
Three minutes into the game, Wu Feng fell to the ground while fighting for a rebound, and his knee touched the ground. Stan Van Gundy was a little worried, so he directly let him sit on the bench.
For him, Wu Feng is the most important role of the team. There will be no accidents. Fortunately, it is just a surprise.
Taking advantage of Andres Nossioni's defensive foul, the Magic quickly adjusted the lineup.
Wu Feng replaced Chris Du Hong, and Ryan Anderson replaced Brandon Bass.
Wu Feng immediately played a role as soon as he came on the court. He accurately judged Andres Nossioni's passing route and quickly broke the ball in the middle.
"Fast attack..." With Wu Feng's shout, the Magic players rushed to the front court like a tide. It was Gerald Wallace who ran in the front. After several months of running-in, he finally knew that if Wu Feng held the ball and launched a fast attack, other players only needed to rush forward with their heads, and the ball would definitely appear where he should go the most.
Gerald Wallace's heart moved. His chance came. In a blink of an eye, a ball of basketball appeared on his head. He easily took off the basketball, and his whole body jumped up suddenly, and his hands dunked the ball into the basket.
After landing, Gerald Wallace excitedly gave Wu Feng a thumbs up. The ball passed just now was so wonderful. When the ball reached his head, both the position and speed made him so comfortable. He just needed to jump up and dunk the ball directly into the basket. Such an easy attack can only be described as flowing water.
"Bang", in a blink of an eye, Gerald Wallace was another steal from the frontcourt, then avoided the block of the defensive player and dunked with one-handed dunk.
The 76ers' consecutive mistakes allowed the Magic to score four points in just half a minute, chasing the score to 12:8, and the low atmosphere of Amway Center just now swept away.
Chapter completed!
