The Whip of the God of Basketball - Chapter 403

Chapter 406

The Orlando Magic strengthened their defense in the second half. This is the only thing Stan Van Gundy can do at halftime. Faced with the small lineup of the Suns, they cannot solve the problem fundamentally unless Howard puts on his wings. It can only be hoped that the players will play harder and harder to reduce the Suns’ perimeter shooting percentage.

But the second half, or the entire game, was the performance time of Jaskovicius. Today Leon knew that he was in excellent form, so he gave him a lot of playing time. In the second half of the game, when he was in the first half of the game, Just replacing him on the field, the Suns started their small lineup again.

The three-pointers of the European kings on the outside can be said to be fiery. The Magic’s back line allows them to deal with two top three-pointers at the same time, which is really a bit difficult. Needless to say, Nelson, Bogans is strong enough and has a good speed, but he can’t keep up, and with his presence, the Magic’s offense is a bit lame.

Howard played a dominant performance in the interior today. He protected the backcourt well and showed power in the offense. However, the Magic always lagging behind in the score, because only relying on his own score, there was no The way to equalize the points difference, and more importantly, he has no way to bring opportunities to his teammates.

Leon did not make any targeted arrangements for Howard tonight. He just asked Dior or Marion to harass him one-on-one, not double-teaming, not going around, let alone setting up defensive traps for him. He took off his offensive rebounds on the inside, then made a dunk, and then showed his developed biceps-his arms and biceps are about to surpass David Robinson.

But such a dunk is useless. The Suns’ small lineup basically cuts off his connection with the outside line. He has no way to create space for his teammates. When Rashard Lewis played against other traditional teams, his three-point ability was His advantage, the general fourth position is difficult to follow that far. But it is a pity that Marion is facing him today, and Marion does not have to assist in visiting Howard. He is just staring at Lewis, which leads to little comfort for Lewis on the outside.

At the end of the third quarter, Jaskovicius played with confidence. After he and Dior picked up and rolls, the Magic switched defenses and faced the wide Howard who looked like a door. Jaskovicius dribbled the ball continuously. A false step backward, and then the left hand breaks through the bottom line.

Howard will not block this kind of ball, but let him go, and then prepare to block shots behind. Unexpectedly, Jaskovicius is very cunning. He learned a trick from Nash and dribbled the ball directly from the basket. Slid down, slipped to the other side, and then turned over and made a jumper!

A 12-foot jumper from the bottom line was the 30th point that Jascovihus scored in this game. After three quarters, his scoring has reached the highest of his career.

After scoring, he and Steve Nash high-five. There is no doubt that he has learned a lot from Nash, a smart and at the same time similar to him. More importantly, in the Phoenix Suns, he has gained the past. What he lacks most-confidence and trust.

In terms of ability, he cannot reach the level of Manu Ginobili, but he can help the team in the way he is good at, instead of sitting on the bench with the title of European king. Being drunk by teammates, not taken seriously.

He felt the value of his existence. He played for a truly strong team in the world’s highest level basketball league, became a part of it, and worked hard for the championship.

At the end of the three quarters, the Suns and Magic’s score has become 89:75, the Suns lead the Magic by 14 points. This score is a full-time score for the Boston Celtics to beat their opponents in the past, and now they are killing opponents with efficient offense.

In the fourth quarter, the Magic began their final struggle. They started a small 8:0 climax, reducing the point difference to only 6 points. Leon immediately suspended. This time he did not hesitate to change. Entered the five small combination with high offensive efficiency, and let Jascovisius dominate and Nash assisted. As a result, Nash received an assist from Jascovisius and hit two consecutive three-pointers in the bottom corner!

This is the 16th three-pointer made by the Suns in this game. It has already set a record for a single three-pointer this season, and the point difference has been expanded to 12 points.

Van Gundy had no choice but to call a timeout to rearrange and adjust, but at this time Leon began to mess up. He sent Turiaf to foul Howard and sent Howard to the free throw line. Howard did not disappoint on the free throw line, missed two free throws, the Suns got the ball and began to push back.

The double-backs pushed and counterattacked that called a fast. Marion and Hill flew on both wings. Although Hill was thirty-five, the speed was not slow at all. He received a precise pass from Nash and directly killed the basket and made a layup. His steps are still so big, one foot more than the average player, the layup is also so light, it is easy to put the ball into the basket.

This method came several times in a row. The Magic couldn’t bear it. Turiaf was about to be punished, but he was on the court for fouling. Without him, the Suns playing a small lineup is nothing magical. , But if the Magic replace Howard, then they really can’t play.

But Van Gundy couldn’t help it. On the free throw line, Howard became more nervous the more he missed, and the more nervous he was, the more he missed the free throw. As a result, the sun chased his **** and hit three counterattacks. The score difference was almost 20 points.

For Leon’s “shameless” move, Van Gundy really has no choice but to let Howard sit on the bench. As soon as Howard took the bench, the Magic’s defense was even more ruined. The offensive rebounds could not be protected. Marion was constantly impacted, and the game gradually lost suspense.

The score was fixed at 115:101. The Suns won the game at the Magic’s home court and won the first victory for Grant Hill to join Phoenix. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

After the game, some boos came from the scene. Of course, these boos were not for Hill, but for Fox Leon, because his foul tactics in the fourth quarter were really shameless, but they also let them. If the victory is secured in the bag, the rest is not important.

Hill embraced the Magic teams one by one on the field, shook hands with Stan Van Gundy, and then was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines. Winning the game made him feel very comfortable. After chatting with reporters a lot, I can see that it couldn’t be better to be able to play, play a role and win the game.

Then he walked back to the locker room, he almost made a mistake on the way, because he used to go back to the home locker room here, but today he is going to the away game. When he came to the locker room, he found that the coach and his teammates were all there. They were all sitting together, not going to the bath, not going to the physiotherapy, but waiting for him.

Nash took the lead, and everyone came forward to hug Hill. This was what Leon asked. This was a welcome to the veteran to join. This was a belated ceremony.

Finally, Leon gave Hill a hug and completed the ceremony. He said to Hill: “Welcome to join the championship team.”
