Chapter 227: God's Choice (2nd Watch)
The Magic team is also fierce when it encounters such a challenge.
But sometimes it's not good to be aggressive.
Once the game started, the Magic were the first to fall. In the first three minutes, Vince Carter had an open space outside the three-point line, Qin Yang passed, Vince Carter hit the iron three times in a row, and the Magic team of the pit didn't want it.
And the inside Howard is facing O'Neal Jr.
At his peak, O'Neal Jr. averaged 20+10 per game and was the league's top center.
Now O'Neal Jr. is naturally not so powerful, but he can already contribute his strength at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, especially in the middle distance, and Howard is eager to die.
Wade went to the basket to attract the defense and distributed the ball to O'Neal Jr. many times, and O'Neal Jr. hit both.
The Heat's tactics have changed a little this time.
Michael Beasley got more possession, singled out Rashad Lewis in the first quarter, scored multiple times, hit a good percentage of shots, and was embarrassed by Lashad Lewis on the defensive end.
This season, Rashad Lewis has regressed somewhat significantly.
On the offensive end, Rashad Lewis shot okay, but on the defensive end, the efficiency was much lower than before, and almost every superstar-level power forward could play Rashad Lewis.
In this case, the Magic team fell behind at the beginning.
Seeing this, Qin Yang immediately began to increase his outside shots.
But an even more awkward scene appeared, and from the first four minutes, there was an astonishing scene on the court, no matter which team on both sides shot, the basketball bounced to the position of the Heat player.
In general, it's easier for the defending side to get rebounds.
That's why defensive rebounds are easy to grab.
Because the offensive side is inherently at a disadvantage in terms of position and position, the rebounding of the two teams will not be much different unless they have a huge advantage or disadvantage in the lineup.
The Magic have always been the dominant side in rebounding.
But in this game, as long as the rebound pops up, it's in the hands of the Heat.
This feeling made the Magic players at a loss.
In the first quarter, in addition to Howard getting three rebounds, only Qin Yang and Matt Barnes got one, and the Magic team only had five rebounds.
Conversely, the Heat grabbed fourteen rebounds.
Whether it's frontcourt rebounds or backcourt rebounds, the Heat have an absolute advantage.
It stands to reason that the Magic, who have the advantage on the inside, has encountered this situation for the first time, and it is simply enough.
The rebounding disadvantage, the outside line is even more afraid to shoot casually, dare not shoot, the shooting rate is reduced, so that the opponent can defend more easily, so that the disadvantage of the Magic team is more obvious.
In the first quarter, the Magic trailed by 13 points, 18-31.
The one who gets the rebound wins.
This sentence is perfectly embodied today, the Magic team is behind for the first time with such a big disadvantage, and the Magic team as a whole is a little confused.
Qin Yang played 3 out of 6 in the first quarter, and he played okay, but ...... This is the highest hit percentage in the Magic team.
The Magic team as a whole shot less than 40 percent.
Rest after the first quarter. The Magic players sat on the bench sullen.
On the commentary seat, the two commentators looked at the data coming out of the first section, and couldn't help but start ridiculing:
"When I played, I thought it was a bit unusual today, but now that I have the stats, I think it's an incredible game. In the first quarter, the Magic had five rebounds, while the Heat had 14 rebounds, including five offensive rebounds and nine defensive rebounds, while the Magic only had five offensive rebounds, which was incredible. ”
Another commentator laughed:
"Today is a lucky day for the Heat, and it's incredible to have such a rebounding advantage with an interior lineup like the Magic. A lot of them rebounded as if God was going to give them to the Heat. ”
"God is on the side of the Mihami Heat today."
It's okay to lose, but it's so helpless to lose a game, which makes people feel unacceptable.
The game in the first quarter was so abnormal.
After the rebound popped up, they found the Heat players, and the Magic couldn't grab them at all, which made people feel desperate.
Coach Van Gundy sat next to him, not knowing what to say.
From a purely tactical point of view, the Magic team did not fall behind, but the situation today was a little special.
Before the game began, Coach Van Gundy finally patted the tactical board and said:
"Add it down, Blandonbass is on the court, and the rest of the team pays more attention to rushing for rebounds, and the Heat are lucky, but absolute strength can outweigh everything."
The other players nodded, and the momentum finally picked up a bit.
Qin Yang was deep in his arms and shouted loudly: "You promised me before the game, you will win them hard in this game, don't let them be arrogant, do you dare to follow me now." ”
"Add me one."
"Count me."
Magic players, whether they played or not, were deep in their hands, and more than a dozen big men stretched out their hands to celebrate.
The game begins.
Vince Carter went off the court, Petrus was replaced, Vince Carter felt too bad in the first quarter, originally wanted Vince Carter to help the Magic team on the offensive end, who knew that the first quarter was 0 in 3, and the Magic team of the pit didn't want it. Give 3 rebounds directly to the opposite side.
Petrus comes on the pitch to increase defense and impact.
The game begins.
Wade went straight to the basket, broke through under the basket, threw the ball out under Howard's defense, and although he didn't score, he won two free throws.
After making 1 of 2 free throws, Qin Yang attacked with the ball.
Blandonbass stepped forward to make a cover, Qin Yang broke through, Richardson wanted to follow from behind, Qin Yang ignored it and approached the basket directly.
Michael Beasley assists in defense and Richardson strikes from behind.
Qin Yang didn't panic at all, and with a ground pass, Blandonbas received the pass and shot directly from the middle distance.
Unlike the impression given by Brandonbas, the Brandonbass template is Millsap, who shoots very accurately from mid-range, and in the Magic, except for Rashad Lewis, Brandonbass is the most accurate in the mid-range.
Sou!
The basketball hit without any suspense, and the Magic finally moved back to some scores.
The Heat attacked, Wade broke through, Qin Yang retreated, giving the opponent plenty of space to shoot, but Wade hesitated and passed directly to Michael Beasley in the high post.
Beasley holds the ball and singles Blandonbas.
Blandonbas's position in the Magic team is not good, not at a bad level, after all, the Magic team signed an interior line with an annual salary of eight million dollars. In the face of Michael Beasley, Brandonbass directly and toughly pushed Michael Beasley, and when Michael wanted to rely on technology to shake out the space to shoot in the middle distance, Brandonbass hit it directly.
Michael Beasley almost fell in his body, and after two steps back, he was about to rush to Blandonbass for a fierce battle on the court.
Fortunately, he was stopped by his teammates.
The referee awarded a foul and warned Blandonbas.
In the final analysis, this foul is just a little stronger, and it can't be a malicious foul.
