The high-speed update of Chapter 992, the three-pointer that takes the lead, has begun. The number of updated words is 2959.
Just when Presti was worried about Carlesimo's stay, Carlesimo was still leading the team in training enthusiastically, preparing for the third game. Regarding the third game, the media was still worried. Seeing the Seattle SuperSonics face to face, the only favorable factor for the Orlando Magic is that this is their home court. Other than that, they still have no chance of winning like the previous two games.
This is not because the media underestimates the Orlando Magic, nor is it deliberately touting the Seattle SuperSonics. It is because many experts cannot find the advantage of the Orlando Magic against the Seattle SuperSonics even if they are very picky. , their offense is not as good as the Seattle SuperSonics, and their defense is not as good as the Seattle SuperSonics. They do not have an advantage in the fight for the basket, and they do not take advantage of outside shooting. They are useless.
There are also media who want to make a counter-propaganda to attract attention and please the fans of Orlando or Magic. However, many experts have picked from the inside and outside, but they have not picked out any key factors for the Orlando Magic to defeat their opponents, unless it is a Super League. The Sonics are in a collective state of sluggishness, and Stephen has to be extremely sluggish, otherwise it will be difficult for the Orlando Magic to defeat a Sonics team like this.
As for the home field advantage, when the situation is basically evenly matched, the home field advantage can play a certain role. If the home field advantage is so useful, there will not be so many teams winning away from home, especially the Seattle SuperSonics. Their away record is basically the same as their home record, which shows that they are not afraid of playing away games.
More importantly, after playing two games, except for Stephen, who played at his usual level but did not break out, the only one who really exerted his strength on the Sonics was Yao Ming. Even Kevin Durant did not exert much strength because It is true that the shooting rights are not enough. If Yao Ming is satisfied, Kevin Durant cannot be satisfied. You must know that besides the three of them, there are a lot of other players. You can't let them not touch the ball. , although the Sonics averaged more than 110 points per game in every game, they still could not meet the team's scoring needs.
Unless Stephen is willing to reduce the number of shots he takes, but even with the inside team, Stephen is still the one with the highest shooting percentage and the highest scoring efficiency on the team. If Stephen wastes opportunities like Michael Reed and Gilbert Arenas, If he shoots, someone will definitely criticize him, but as an outside player with a 50% shooting percentage, except for those inside players who basically shoot under the basket and jumping men who can only dunk and layup, Stephen's shooting percentage is Highest.
This makes it hard to say anything about Stephen, and compared to last season, Stephen has lowered the number of shots he takes this season, and even if players have objections to this number, they would not dare to say too much, because even if Stephen The number of shots given up is also allocated to people like Kevin Durant or Russell Westbrook. For ordinary players, a few shots per game is considered good.
But Stephen's deliberate reduction of the number of shots also leaves room for his own explosion. It makes people look like he still has enough energy to spare and dare not relax his defense. The Orlando Magic's defense against Stephen is not successful. Even though he didn't take the initiative to score, he was still able to score 40 points, and he ended the game early in two consecutive games. Even if the Orlando Magic arrived at home, their form improved and they scored more points. At most, Stephen left the game one night. Yes, you can score more points by yourself or by assisting others.
The Orlando Magic are also preparing for the game. Experts can't pick out the Magic's way to win, but Stan Van Gundy can't say that. Even if he thinks so, he can't show it in front of the players, but should encourage it. Players, let them feel that there is still hope for victory. Although it is a little early to say fight for dignity, they can fight for the home court and fight for the fans of Orlando.
It seems that Dwight Howard won't be able to take advantage of the opponent's inside fight, and Stan Van Gundy will not waste time on him. Instead, he will let the team's outside lineup shoot three-pointers firmly without worrying too much. It's been two games, and the Magic's three-pointers haven't shown off. Now it's time. After holding back the feeling for two games, it's time for an explosion when returning to their home court. Stan Van Gundy can only pin his hopes on three-pointers. It¡¯s about tactics.
This is also a no-brainer. At the same time, with so many three-pointers in hand, Stan Van Gundy couldn't believe it. When he didn't have a chance to perform, in order to better restrict Stephen, Stan Van Gundy specially sent Michael Pietrus to the starting lineup. Because it is impossible to remove Rashad Lewis and Hedo Turkoglu from the starting lineup, and at the same time, he also arranged for Rafael Alston to assist Michael Pietrus in defense. Although using power players to defend has no effect, thenUse a smart one.
He originally wanted to use a twin-tower lineup, but thinking about it, the three-point firepower from the outside would be lost, so he had to stop this idea and let Dwight Howard carry the entire inside lineup alone. Although he It will definitely be very difficult, but there is nothing you can do about it. Who said he is the league's number one center? He should be a little bit tired.
Stan Van Gundy's main concern is still on three-pointers. As long as the three-pointers can be opened, the Sonics are not invincible. But if the three-pointers cannot be opened, it will be difficult to say. This is the third game or a game. Opportunity.
The third game of the Finals between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Orlando Magic began at the Amway Arena in Orlando. Dwight Howard easily beat Yao Ming when he jumped the ball and gave the ball to his teammate Raf Alston. Raf Als The dribble passed the midfield, and as soon as it approached the three-point line, he raised his hand and shot the ball into the basket, giving the Orlando Magic the first victory.
Come back, Stephen did not compete with his opponent on the three-point line, but continued to pass the ball to Yao Ming, allowing Yao Ming to continue to play Dwight Howard in isolation. However, after two games with Yao Ming, Dwight Howard also improved a bit and learned from Yao Ming. He was smart. When Yao Ming was leaning on him and about to take a shot, he suddenly dodged and avoided Yao Ming's squeeze. Then he jumped up with all his strength, swept the basketball with his fingertips, and swept the ball out of the sideline.
This can be regarded as a successful block. The morale of the Orlando Magic team was boosted, and the fans in the stands were as excited as if they had taken medicine. Encouraged by the atmosphere at home, Rashard Lewis came back and shook his head easily. Serge Ibaka opened the door and threw the ball into the basket with just a few inches of space. It was also a three-pointer.
With two consecutive three-pointers, the Magic are already leading the Sonics 6-0. This has never happened before in the battle between the two teams, and no matter who the opponent is, the Sonics are rarely beaten. It ended like this, but after coming back, Stephen continued to pass the ball to Yao Ming, but Yao Ming did not force the shot because he felt that the opportunity was not very good, so he passed the ball[This chapter is not finished, please click next Page continue reading! !
