Chapter 296

42 to 46, the Knicks entered the second half with a 4-point deficit. It seems that the timeout of Coach Toto did not play any role.In the last two minutes or so, the Knicks only made a three-pointer by Hu Lin.

The opponent is strong!

This is Lao Hu's cognition, the Magic team did not spend this summer in vain, whether it is the management or the team's players...

"The opponents are a bunch of stupid pigs! They will only use that guy Howard to contain and shoot, that's it! Boys! You have to understand that we are a playoff team, even a championship team, and the opponent , nothing!..."

Well, it seems that coach Tuo thinks differently from Lao Hu. Of course, whether there is selective blindness or not, let’s not discuss this for the time being. Anyway, at this time, we can’t say something that will boost other people’s ambitions!

So, under the strong hypnosis of Coach To, the guys from the Knicks once again set foot on the Madison Gardens court.

"Oh ho ho!..." The Knicks started the second half of the game under the shouts of the fans, attack!
It is difficult for Curry to open up the situation, so he can only choose David Lee's main attack direction. Although Turkoglu is taller, Lao Li's strength is better, and there is cooperation to help, right?

It was still a pick-and-roll, Lao Hu immediately handed the ball to Lao Li, and Lao Li got a chance in a misplaced situation and hit a two-pointer.

"David! David! David!..." The fans were shouting Lao Li's name. Fortunately, the Knicks were off to a good start.

However, the halftime timeout didn't disrupt the Magic's rhythm, which is how they play anyway, and Howard found Turkoglu after the attack failed, and the latter gave the ball to Ali who ran out of position. Zha, hit the mid-range shot!

"Good shot! Look! This is what we often call INSIDE-OUT! The Magic played the ball reasonably, scoring in and out, scoring in and out, well, the opportunity is here! Shots go in, good ball!" Zhang The teacher has found a place to play again.

44 to 48, still a gap of 4 points.

I still let Lao Li attack. In the second half, Lao Hu wanted to change his method, so he couldn't always compete with his opponent.

Bang!It's a pity that this time the shooting was hit.

"Aha!" Howard grabbed the rebound, and Curry failed to grab a favorable position.

In fact, this is the problem the Knicks faced when David Lee attacked.Basically, as long as Lao Li is attacking, his choice is usually a mid-range shot, but in this way he can't get stuck under the basket, so the Knicks' offensive rebounds, that is, the second offense, are basically gone.

Curry, this guy's frontcourt generally can only be used under special circumstances, such as the opponent's defense being attracted, that's the way to go.Moreover, this time Curry will face the 'rebound monster' Howard. This guy is actually a blue-collar who grabs rebounds and does dirty work.

Howard's strength is indeed very strong, his physical advantage is very obvious in defense, and his huge cross-sectional area has a natural advantage in rebounding.

As a result, the tactics of the Magic team are also easy to arrange. Stan Van Gundy's approach is very simple, and it can be said that he made the most of Howard.

That's the lineup that was put on the field, playing with Howard, basically Nelson, Ariza, Lewis, Turkoglu.It seems that Turkoglu is a power forward in this lineup, but Lao Hu deeply knows that this Turk is just a taller small forward.

That's right, the Magic's lineup, that is, their tactics, has no power forwards!
To do this, there must first be a prerequisite, that is Howard.The ability of Warcraft allows him to do the work of the center and at the same time take care of the power forward.

The original definition of the position of power forward is that it is a position that does dirty work. Of course, with the development of basketball, there have been many power forwards with excellent offensive capabilities.But defense, rebounding, and positioning have always been essential elements for power forwards. Unless you can be as gorgeous as Chris Webber, you can quit this job.

But in the current lineup of the Magic, Howard can do almost all the dirty work alone. Of course, he needs someone to help him make up for his weak side, so that's fine.

Therefore, Stan Van Gundy was very bold and directly deployed a lineup without a power forward, and let Turkoglu, a small forward, act as a fake power forward.His intention is also very simple, it is to better open the gap in the offense and find better opportunities to shoot.

This has also formed the current style of play of the Magic. They continue to give Warcraft the ball in the offense, but Warcraft does not have a strong ability to score the ball.But this guy can attract firepower, he can't do it without defense, this bounce, this body, he can't even help with defense.

Therefore, those cruising shooters arranged by Van Gundy all have a chance.

One center, four shooters, this is the Magic's formation and their style of play.The reason why Rashad Lewis is worth 2000 million is precisely because the Magic lacks such a powerful shooter.Otherwise, a shooter, except for Reggie Miller and Ray Allen, which guy can get such a high salary?

"It's like, bastard saw mung beans, and his eyes met. The Magic just lacked the last patch of Lewis." To be honest, although the money is not bad, Lao Hu's eyes are hot.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Bang!He didn't make it either, but Lao Hu saw Howard jumping again, and he judged the rebound again.

Although under Lao Li's defense this time, Howard failed to directly turn the offensive rebound into a goal.

However, after the basketball came out, it was quickly turned into a three-pointer by Lewis.This time, it is indeed a bit frustrating.

"Hold on! Hold on! Keep your spirits up!" Lao Hu took the initiative to dribble to the frontcourt this time, and he reminded his teammates not to be discouraged.

Swish!Just as Lao Hu was talking, this guy made a sudden shot and returned a three-pointer!
"Oh ho ho!..." This three-pointer made the Knicks fans cheer again.

"Pretty!"

"Great!"

The teammates were all giving Lao Hu a thumbs up, but Lao Hu was not happy at all.

The reason is simple, because playing like this is unreasonable!

For the ball just now, Lao Hu shot directly by himself. Although the ball was scored, the other teammates did not participate in the attack at all, which would lead to a decline in their enthusiasm and be detrimental to the overall performance of the team.That is to say, Mr. Zhang talks about whether it is reasonable or not every day.If a person does too much alone, he will naturally be isolated by his teammates. This is basketball.

However, for the ball just now, Lao Hu had to attack by himself, because the other teammates of the Knicks were a little bit unmotivated, and they seemed to be a little discouraged by the ball just now.Therefore, the Knicks need to score goals and someone needs to stabilize the situation.In such a situation, the person who stands up is the leader and the hero.

Therefore, this ball has two sides. On the one hand, it is going it alone, which is the poison; on the other hand, it is the leader and the hero.If you don't grasp this measure well, you will turn from a hero to a poison.

To be honest, at this point, Lao Hu has no choice but to make such a choice.

When he played against the Rockets last season, it was Lao Hu's battle of fame. In that game, he could fire with all his strength.Because of that game, the Knicks had no one at all, but now it's different, very different.How to choose, Lao Hu is really a little uncertain, among other things, he is not even a captain now, how can he be a leader.If one fails, Lao Hu will become the second Lao Ma.

Disaster!It's really tough!

Lao Hu was thinking hard here, but the Magic had already completed their offense, and they still played in the same old way, but this time Turkoglu hit the iron, and the Knicks also defended the rebound.

It didn't keep New York fans happy for long, and the Knicks' offense didn't hit.In order to catch up with the score, Lao Hu chose to let Ah Q run, but he missed his three-pointer, which was also a failure.

Next, the Knicks and the Magic had offense and defense with each other, and the shooting percentages of both sides were not very high.However, the Magic has Howard, the center, who strengthens the forward body, and the Knicks are really weaker than their opponents in terms of rebounds.

Therefore, with a similar shooting percentage, the Knicks were slowly opened up in the score.

51 to 59, when the main players were off the field in the third quarter, the gap between the two sides was 8 points.

To be honest, at the current level of fighting, Lao Hu has nothing to do. He has used almost all the means, and he only has to resort to the trick of unlimited fire.

But the problem is that this move really hurts the enemy one thousand and self-damages eight hundred. Moreover, if he doesn't perform well and ends up being called a team poison, it will be fatal.You know, Lao Hu himself is not a god-man, even Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, sometimes recites words.

Time passed quickly, and the third quarter of the game was over immediately.

"The third quarter of the game is over, Mr. Zhang, please come and give us a review."

"Okay, this third quarter, let's see, both sides played well, but in the final score, the Knicks trailed their opponents by 54 points 63 to 9, and the gap has widened. In fact, that is Howard He played well, and his rebounding team, the Magic, helped a lot. Curry couldn’t beat him this time, and Curry was originally focused on offense. But what are we looking at now? It’s just that the Knicks don’t Maybe in the fourth quarter, to recover the score, especially at the beginning of the game..."

Teacher Zhang was talking to the TV screen, while Hu Lin, who was sitting in the locker room, was thinking about being a hero.

In the end, when or not?
