Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 258 Treat Duncan as Two Years!
Pressing and consuming is not the real purpose of the Magic. It is Li Mu's real idea to drag the rhythm of the game into the quagmire of fighting defense.

With Duncan and Kidd, these two aces, plus the physical talents of McGrady, Jackson and O'Neal.

Fighting to defend, Li Mu felt stable.

1 to 11! !
The score was stretched to 10 points, Phil Jackson couldn't sit still, and immediately played the cards in his hand.

Replace Fox with Kirilenko.

Soon, at the critical moment, Billups stepped forward to break the game.

After being forced by Kidd, Kobe and Kirilenko continued to cover and came to the frontcourt.

Just when Kidd thought Billups was just a courier who would choose to pass the ball.

Billups pulls the ball up.

"Chauncey made a cold shot with a three-pointer, it's too messy." Barkley was slapped in the face as soon as he finished speaking.

"It actually went in and hit a three-pointer.

There's something about Chauncey! "

Li Mu shook his head, Mr. Key is Mr. Key, Billups really dared to vote in big scenes, this big heart is too hard.

4 to 11! !
Looking back, as soon as Kirilenko came on the field, he immediately made a contribution. With a strong defense, he and Lewis blocked Duncan's attack.

After getting the basketball and making a quick counterattack, Kobe hit the frontcourt and dunked for two points.

6 to 11! !
The Lakers stabilized the situation on the court.

However, under the heavy pressure, Billups made a mistake. Kidd continued to make small moves, and he snatched the basketball from Billups.

The referee still didn't do anything, Kidd took advantage of the opportunity to make a layup, made a pick in the air, and scored 2 points with a bang.

6 to 13! !
Subsequently, in the scuffle between the two sides, the Magic continued to have the upper hand under the body.

After all, the referee's whistling intensity is biased towards the Magic.

The home whistle!

Moreover, the league does not want the Finals to be 0-2.

With this psychological advantage, the Magic players made a lot of moves.

In addition, the foul on O'Neal was also very strong.

O'Neal played 8 minutes into the game, had 3 fouls on his back, and was replaced by John Amici.

Kidd, Duncan and Jackson also had 1 foul on their backs.

O'Neal was so terrifying that he could only send him to the free throw line for a free throw after receiving the ball.

The tactic of pressing, combined with the tactic of hacking the shark, the game scene entered the combat environment that the Magic wanted, which is the so-called rhythm.

The score was 31-20.

After the first quarter, the Magic took an 11-point lead over the Lakers.

O'Neal made 9 of 4 free throws, which helped a lot.

Second quarter game.

Li Mu carried out a large rotation. O'Neal, who had just rested for 4 minutes, and McGrady, who had a rest in the 10th minute of the first quarter, returned to the court.

Meanwhile, bring on Armstrong, Maggette and Magloire.

Their goal on the court is to continue to press, rush their bodies, and play a fast-paced offense.

The Lakers sent Jackson, Fisher, Kobe, Kirilenko, Horry and Samaki Walker.

The second quarter started.

Armstrong used a sharp breakthrough to pass the Lakers' defense and rushed to the basket to score two points.

20 to 33! !
Fisher forced Armstrong, carried the defense, and hit a two-pointer with a jumper.

22 to 33! !
At this time, Fisher's offense was also close to its peak state, averaging 11 points and 3 assists per game.

The strength is also very strong.

It was a bit close to playing in the first quarter, but with a substitute lineup, the advantage came out.

Armstrong's breakthrough was blocked and the ball was given to McGrady.

McGrady forced Kobe, pulled the ball up forcibly, flicked it in the air, assisted Maggette for an air cut layup, and with a bang, he dunked Samaki Walker and made a two-pointer.

22 to 35! !
Without Big Ben, O'Neal is also off the court. The Lakers' basket cannot be protected by Samaki Walker, a parallel importer of the 98 golden generation.

Maggette is very hard, his body is a little perverted, and he is unstoppable when he rushes.

What he lacks now is the ability to draw fouls.

If he can practice this foul-making technique, he will be [-] points away from an All-Star player in his shooting skills.

Putting him on the bench is also a blow to dimensionality reduction.

Lakers offense.

Fisher dribbles upcourt, then hands the basketball to Bryant.

Three threatening postures, probing, feinting, starting, accelerating to break through inside.

Stop suddenly, twist your waist, jump up, stay in the air, raise your hand for two points and shoot a fallback jumper...

Swish-!
Bryant's back, hit two points.

24 to 35! !
The Magic attack.

McGrady tried to force Kobe Bryant, but was blocked, he made a steady wave, and gave the ball to O'Neal.

Catch the ball, lift it up, Horry stretched forward, O'Neal knocked away, and broke through to the basket.

Against O'Neill, he was a little weak.

Against Horry, he has no pressure at all.

Like a small shark, he nimbly rushes to the basket, and pulling the ball is a strong move.

Horry couldn't stop it, and Walker couldn't make up for it.

Bang-dang-!
Dunk scored two points.

24 to 37! !
Lakers offense.

Kirilenko received the ball and broke through, made an emergency stop and pulled back, and scored two points on Maggette's block.

26 to 37! !
Next, the two sides fought back and forth.

Jackson had such a serious look on his face.

This is not the situation he wants.

The main force of the Magic is resting, but the point difference has not recovered.

He called a timeout directly.

Replace Billups, O'Neal and Lewis.

Kobe came down to rest for 2 minutes, then put on again.

The effect was not played out.

Li Mu also responded quickly, replacing Kidd, Duncan and Jackson.

It is still a pressing tactic, dragging the rhythm of the game back to the rhythm of the first quarter.

At the same time, as the main executor of the shark hacking tactics, John Amici also played.

The first half of the game time is over.

Amici got 4 fouls on his back.

Fortunately, reflected in the score, the Magic have achieved a 15-point lead.

Rest and recuperate for 15 minutes, and come back in the second half of the game.

Li Mu sent in the starting lineup.

Phil Jackson only changed Kirilenko, and he also went all out.

The third quarter started.

The Magic's pressing tactics continue to make contributions.

At the same time, during the counterattack, he often succeeded in seizing O'Neill's inability to run and playing more and less.

However, pressing from the first quarter is too much consumption for the main players of the Magic.

In the 7th minute of the third quarter, the Magic's physical fitness dropped very much.

Fortunately, the Magic's lineup is young enough. The oldest is Kidd, who is only 28 years old and is at his peak.

Moreover, with the fast-paced offense, O'Neal's physical fitness has also bottomed out.

Kobe and Tracy McGrady began to soar points, but did not change the situation on the field.

At the end of the first three quarters, the Magic led by 13 points.

In the fourth quarter, Li Mu sent Tony Parker, Maggette, Jackson, Duncan and O'Neal.

Continue to maintain strength and continue to press down.

Only one Duncan obviously cannot maintain the effect of the front pressing.

The Lakers began to fight back desperately.

At this time, Li Mu didn't care about it, and directly resorted to the ultimate move of fucking Duncan, and fought with the Lakers to attack.

To be reasonable, Popovich used Duncan for 20 years.

Li Mu used him for 2 years, such power is absolutely invincible.

Moreover, beside Duncan, there is Tony Parker, and there are better O'Miller and Jackson.

And Maggette, anyway, is a few more luxurious than the Spurs.
