The convulsion superstar of basketball

Chapter 78.

As the game is about to start, the two sides announced their starting lineups respectively:

Kings:

Beno Udri, Martin, Francisco Garcia, Jason Thompson and Brad Miller.

Magic:

Nelson, Pietrus, Lewis, Turkoglu, Howard.

In this game, both sides also continued their starting lineups for this season.

Kings center Brad Miller actually became the Kings' inside axis after Chris Webber was traded away at the time.

Because although Brad Miller looks like a meat shield center, he does have a very powerful supporting pass.

Coupled with head coach Adelman, it is also to allow the Kings to still gain a foothold in the West with Princeton's tactics.

But then Brand Miller himself was plagued by serious injuries. The most important thing is that Kings coach Adelman and Princeton's founder and assistant coach Pete Carell left the team one after another.

This also led to Brad Miller's tactical status in this Kings team getting lower and lower.

Compared with the former All-Star center back then, the current him has been completely reduced to mediocrity.

In addition, the Kings have been actively selling Brad Miller since before the start of the season, wanting to use this strong white man to exchange for some bargaining chips that can help the team in the future.

This has never been a secret in the league.

However, although Brad Miller has lost the explosive power before the injury, as well as his tactical status in this team.

However, his excellent body tonnage and excellent penalty area defense will still cause a lot of trouble for Howard in this game.

Before the start of the game, Howard also hugged Brad Miller in the middle of the court.

After all, Brad Miller was second only to the Chinese giant Yao Ming in the center center All-Star voting in the entire Western Conference during the time when O'Neal traveled east to the Heat a few years ago.

From this point, we can see how brilliant Miller was at that time.

So before the game started, Howard gave the former All-Star center who had a very short peak period a big hug.

Rather than encouragement, it is better to say that the rabbit died and the fox was sad. After all, Howard is currently at the top of the league's center forward.

But no one knows how long this honor will last with Howard...

After the start of the game, Brad Miller lost most of his jumping ability after suffering a serious injury. His current jumping ability is probably no different from that of ordinary people.

Therefore, the possession of the ball was first obtained by the Magic.

The Magic's strategy in this game is also very obvious, because the defensive ability of the Kings' current backcourt combination is very weak.

Whether it's Kevin Martin or Udrih, the two of them alone are at the level of defensive loopholes.

And the Kings really deserved to be a clear stream. They were able to put these two characters together in the starting lineup. It has to be said that it is really terrifying.

So after the Magic came up, Howard also symbolically played twice at the basket, and found that in terms of physical confrontation, facing Miller did not have much advantage.

So the Magic focused most of their offense on the perimeter.

Lewis, Pietrus and Nelson repeatedly played the pick and roll.

In the end, he took advantage of the opportunities and loopholes of the pick-and-roll to directly attack the defense of Martin and Udri.

This offensive tactic can be said to be very simple, and even simple can be said to be brainless.

It is to use personal ability to attack through the space created by the pick-and-roll.

However, in this era, this method of attack is the most popular.

And Princeton, like the Kings before, needed a lot of passing balls to create opportunities, or the Suns' seven-second offensive bombardment tactics, in their opinion, they are considered a big outlier in the league.

"Obviously a problem that can be solved by going singles after a pick-and-roll, why do you make such a fuss?!"

I'm afraid this kind of thinking is the thinking of most fans and players in this era.

Taking advantage of the Kings' weak defensive ability in the backcourt, the Magic gained some leads after the opening.

But this advantage did not meet the expectations of the fans, which also has a lot to do with the limited offensive capabilities of Nelson and Pietrus.

Pietrus, as a big mixed player in the league, his biggest advantage is his positive defensive attitude.

He can defend and shoot at the same time. He is an early batch of impure players, but he can be regarded as a 3D player with his spirit.

Not to mention Nelson, because of his weight, his movement speed is very slow, so his best offensive method is to use horseback archery after picking and rolling with big players.

In addition to being complained about on the defensive end, Nelson's performance on the offensive end is fairly stable, and he can probably contribute about a dozen points in each game.

However, although Nelson's offensive ability is stable, it is indeed very limited.

The points he can contribute in each game are only in this range, and he has no chance to control the game on his own.

So when Howard couldn't start the situation, the Magic fell into an endless loop again.

Although they have been focusing on the poor defense of the Kings in the backcourt, due to the lack of offensive ability, the score on the court has not been expanded much.

Of course, this result cannot satisfy the confident Van Gundy.

At this time, Van Gundy was frowning off the court, and there were still 7 minutes and 11 seconds of time on the court, although the Magic used:

12:8

Temporarily leading the Kings, but such a weak lead obviously made Van Gundy feel ashamed.

After all, the Kings are currently the well-deserved No. [-] in the league. On the other hand, their own Magic is the No. [-] in the league. The goal of this season is to win the championship.

So while the situation on the court was still in the lead, Van Gundy took the lead in calling a timeout.

And during the timeout, Van Gundy turned his head and said to Su Jiu beside him:

"Ready to play."

"Ah."

Hearing Van Gundy's words, Su Jiu calmly nodded in agreement.

After all, after the time when he first came to the NBA, Su Jiu also understood more and more that if he wanted to achieve something in this league, then any sweet talk was not as good as playing a high-quality game.

The same is true, Van Gundy has already given him playing time, so what he needs to give back to Van Gundy is not a verbal promise, but his performance on the court...

　Ask for a recommendation ticket! ! !
