Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After both sides returned to the court in the second half, the morale of the Orlando Magic recovered somewhat. Although the first half ended with a deficit, being able to lead for more than one quarter had never happened to the Orlando Magic, so after  After some encouragement from Stan Van Gundy, they regained their confidence.

    Basically, the Orlando Magic returned to the confidence, determination, indomitable momentum, and determination to win the game at the beginning of the game. But this is the second half after all.  The three-point touch can no longer be as magical as it was at the beginning of the game, it is just a little higher than the normal level.

    The players of the Orlando Magic also know that if they want to win the championship, they must win this game, because only in this way can they have a chance and win one game after another. In Seattle, they have seen how powerful this opponent is.  It's scary. As long as they take the lead, there is almost no hope of equalizing, let alone overtaking. It is also very rare in the finals to enter garbage time in two consecutive games.

    This shame also made them realize the reality and know that the Sonics will not be easy to defeat, so they pinned their hopes on their home court. Their goal is to win all home games and then return to Seattle to compete with their opponents.  championship, and the sweeping remarks in the media will only make them play harder, and the lead in the first half made them realize the necessity of perseverance, so in the second half, even if the three-pointer didn't feel very good for a while, they  Didn't give up either.

    At this time, the Sonics were slightly relaxed, especially when Stephen was not on the court, their defensive intensity dropped significantly. Kevin Durant and Damian Wilkins were both working very hard to defend.  However, their defense is only at the individual level and cannot connect the team's defense together.

    Although there are no major problems with the Sonics' offense, Stephen is not on the court, and there is less connection between inside and outside. Yao Ming is rarely able to receive the ball comfortably under the basket. After all, he has only just joined this team.  This season, apart from Stephen, there are too few people who can cooperate well with him. Although the ball is now in the hands of Kevin Durant, he is not very good at organizing the offense. At most, he simply distributes the ball.  , even the passes, most of them were done by Russell Westbrook.

    In this way, the Sonics' offense is focused on the outside, and the three players on the outside are all offensive types. Logically speaking, they should have an advantage in outside offense, but this is not the case. Russell  Westbrook mainly focuses on breakthroughs, but he does not have much advantage in front of Dwight Howard, and as long as his side's offense is blocked, he will lose the ball.

    If Russell Westbrook's breakthrough process is digitized from one to ten, when he reaches five, if a teammate has a very good opportunity, he will pass the ball, but if he goes one step further,  Then he rarely passes the ball, even if it is obvious that the opponent is well prepared for defense, he rarely passes the ball, but this is not absolute. Occasionally, if he has a field of vision, both sides can  If he sees Stephen or Kevin Durant, it is still possible to pass it to them, but if it reaches the seventh point, that is, when he can layup in three steps or shoot in one step, he will not pass the ball out.  , even if the opponent's block has already reached him.

    Russell Westbrook is such a player. Once he turns on the offensive button, you can't expect him to pass the ball out. This offensive method looks very exciting, passionate and exciting, but it is also easy to lose the ball, especially  If the opponent has a Dwight Howard, and the shot is blocked, it's fine. If he barely misses and then gets a rebound by Dwight Howard, Courtney Lee can play his role.

    Courtney Lee is a very unique player. Since he has been in the starting lineup of the Orlando Magic, the Sonics have also conducted focused research on him. His height is a bit disadvantageous for shooting guards and he plays point guard.  He doesn't have this ability, especially given his height. Controlling the ball should be his strength, but it turns out to be his weakness.

    Therefore, he does not have the breakthrough ability of ordinary short players, but if God takes away one thing from you, he will leave you another. His awareness of running without the ball and cutting air is very good, and his outside shooting is also very good.  He is a qualified tactical player, but he is not a player who can attack independently on the court. However, his physical fitness is very good and he is also very active in defense. It is because of this that he can start in the Orlando Magic because he can both  Defensive shooting guards can also defend point guards, especially for those tall point guards, the effect is very good, which can just make up for Jamal Nelson's shortcomings.

    In addition, he also has a very good characteristic, that is, his counterattack awareness is very good.??When he sees the offensive team shooting, he has already made all preparations, and then quickly judges the probability of his own players getting the rebound based on the path of the ball. This is the prejudgment awareness of rebounds. With his height and  Because of his position, it was not easy to get backcourt rebounds, so he spent his energy on counterattacks. Once Dwight Howard or others had a great chance of getting rebounds, he started to counterattack earlier than most people.  One step forward.

    Counterattack is not exactly the same as fast break. Even if the fast break fails, he can still participate in the counterattack as an effective part of the tactics. It is precisely because of this technical characteristic that he was able to get the starting position in the Orlando Magic.  , it may be that his technical characteristics have just adapted to the team, or it may be that he has adjusted his playing style according to the needs of the team. No one can have an accurate positioning of this player before he personally obtains it, but it is necessary to  It's okay to defend his characteristics.

    So as soon as Courtney Lee started here, Russell Westbrook quickly caught up. As soon as the ball flew from Dwight Howard's hands to Courtney Lee's hands, he caught the ball while Courtney Lee slowed down.  At the same time, Russell Westbrook came in front of Courtney Lee. Seeing the opponent's reaction so quickly, Courtney Lee also knew that the counterattack would not work, so he slowed down and waited for his teammates to come up and respond.

    Rafe Alston quickly came over and took the ball from his hands. Courtney Lee's dribbling can only be said to be barely qualified. Under the defense of Russell Westbrook, there have been several dangers and he was almost pulled.  Sale Westbrook made a steal.

    After Rafe Alston got the ball, Russell Westbrook gave up his defense on Courtney Lee, handed him to Damien Wilkins who came later, and then came over to defend Rafe Alston.  , although Stephen is missing, the Sonics' defensive enthusiasm has not dropped much, and there is still no problem in dealing with ordinary fast breaks.

    The Orlando Magic continued to insist on their own three-point play. After Hidu Turkoglu tried to break through without success, he handed the ball to the most confident Rashard Lewis, who played Kurt Thomas.  He still has some experience, and in terms of scoring ability, he is indeed the strongest in the current Magic team, so after getting the ball, he broke through with two fake moves on the left and right. Kurt Thomas was shaking and didn't know what to do. Suddenly  He took a step back to the left, then stood still, adjusted his posture, aimed, and shot. The series of actions were done in an orderly and smooth manner, and the ball flew into the basket very smoothly.

    With this three-pointer, the Magic narrowed the point difference to only three points. Russell Westbrook came back and continued to attack the basket. This time he finally succeeded, but after coming back, Hedo Turkoglu took the shot himself.  Another three-pointer hit, bringing the score closer again.

    Come back, Kevin Durant missed a shot, Yao Ming also missed a tip-in, the rebound was once again grabbed by Dwight Howard, Courtney Lee continued to counterattack, and Russell Westbrook was delayed by Rafael  , failed to catch up with Courtney Lee, but Courtney Lee, who had already reached the basket, did not choose to take the shot himself. Instead, he turned around and passed the ball to Rashad Lewis, who had already run outside the three-point line.  Before Shad Lewis even stopped, he jumped up using the inertia, received Courtney Lee's pass in the air, and threw the ball towards the basket. If the ball goes in, the Orlando Magic will take the lead.  The fans at the Amway Arena suddenly stretched their necks and widened their eyes in anticipation. They watched the ball flying in the air and did not dare to breathe. It was not until the ball flew into the basket that it exploded with a bang.
