NBA Please Answer 2007

Chapter 219 The Attacking Little Jordan
Before the start of the third game, many reporters came to the Warriors training hall for interviews. The Warriors did not practice tactics that day, but practiced their own shots.This is to prevent the leakage of some tactics.

The Warriors team is in good shape, but Nelson came out with two big dark circles. He thought about how to deal with the Magic last night and slept very late.In addition, Nelson has intermittent neurasthenia sleepiness, and the quality of sleep has not kept up.

After the training, Nelson called everyone together and said: "Everyone must be steady in this battle and win the third game. This is our home field, and we cannot let them play wild!"

"Yes!"

Everyone in the Warriors responded surprisingly unanimously. After the two finals, the players have built up their confidence.The reporters were deeply shocked by the answers of the Warriors players. Compared with the Magic on the other side with low morale, the Warriors are a pack of tigers and wolves.

Especially Howard, the pressure from fans, teams, and experts was so great that the 2.11-meter big man was overwhelmed.Fans are not only questioning his strength, the news of an illegitimate child outside the court has also been exposed by the media, and fans even have doubts about his character.Howard's label of "just wanting to play irresponsible" may never be taken off for the rest of his life.

Also troubled is the Magic team point guard Jameer Nelson. Nelson has a truce, and the Magic reached the finals. Now that Nelson is back, the Magic have lost two games in a row.Nelson has played five seasons in the NBA, and it took a lot of hard work to have such an explosive year. Now that his performance in the Finals has been ruined, his mood can be imagined.

Warriors fans are quite supportive of the home team, and being able to reach the finals is enough to make everyone excited.Now that the Warriors are still leading 2-0 in the series, the fanaticism of the fans is even more intense.San Francisco, as a cluster of high-tech parks, is home to tens of thousands of white-collar workers. Their work is monotonous and boring, but since this year, watching the news of the Warriors has become an indispensable part of life.

Tickets for the third battle were quite expensive. The ticket price for the deluxe seat and VIP box was as high as US$850, and the price for the low-class seat was US$258, equivalent to several thousand RMB, but the audience was still full.

The Oracle Center ushered in the finals for the first time in many years. There were good words on the scene. More than 20 cheerleaders danced to the music.

"Sweep!" As soon as the Warriors players came out, the fans cheered like a tsunami, which made the hearts of the Magic players tremble.

During the warm-up, several players on the Magic side didn't feel very good. The pressure of 0-2 was too great, and coupled with the shouting and tsunami of the Warriors' home fans, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Li Zhi, Jackson, and Barnes were sitting on the sidelines. Jackson said, "Matt, are you nervous?"

Barnes pushed Jackson and said, "I wasn't nervous, but your legs kept shaking, and it made me nervous."

Li Zhi laughed and asked: "Didn't you play in the finals? What are you shaking?"

Jackson gave the two people a look, and said: "Can this be the same? I was just a small substitute at that time, maybe a few minutes, but now I am an important member!"

"Hehehe..." A ghostly laugh sounded in the ears of the three of them.

Jackson pulled Milicic over with one hand, and scolded with a smile: "You bastard, what are you laughing at?"

Milicic pushed away Jackson's hand, curled his lips and said, "What kind of important person are you? Can you compete for MVP?"

In the TNT commentary booth, Kenny Smith sighed: "If you can win the championship in the second year of your rookie season, it will be too powerful."

Barkley said sourly: "Yeah, why don't I have such good luck?"

Kenny Smith laughed and said, "You can learn from Robert Hawley, you can change teams and win the championship wherever you go!"

Barkley said disdainfully: "Can it be the same? I don't have a championship, but who dares to say that he is better than me? It's just a clown."

Players from both sides played, and the Magic still played with the same lineup.The Warriors changed, which was beyond everyone's expectations.O'Neal didn't play, and the starting center was Jr. Jordan, power forward Milicic, and small forward Lee Zhi. The back line was still double shooting guards Jackson and Nick Young.

In the ESPN commentary, Jeff Van Gundy frowned and said, "Old Nelson has made a substitution, and O'Neal was replaced. What is he doing? Jordan doesn't have O'Neal's weight, so it's a bit of a disadvantage for him to face Howard as soon as he comes up."

Mark Jackson said: "Jordan is light in weight, but fast, and he is better at defending against pick-and-rolls than O'Neal."

Explaining what Mark Jackson can think of, Magic coach Stan Van Gundy can certainly think of it. At this time, he looks desperate, and Nelson is completely crushing him tactically.

The Magic will increase their three-point shooting in this game. With Jordan on the court, the pick-and-roll effect is not at the same level as O'Neal. He is fast and can completely catch up with Howard's air cut.The Warriors don't need to care about Howard's threat at all, just defend the outside three-pointer.

Don't expect Howard to play against Jordan alone. Howard is not that kind of technical insider, and Jordan is not afraid of him.Howard can still show off his power in the East, but he was completely useless in the finals. It seems that there are not many people who can match up with him in the Warriors.

O'Neal is crushed by weight, Jordan is crushed by height and wingspan, and Milicic is crushed by technology. Howard does not take advantage of any of the three.

Nelson was sitting on the sidelines, his eyes were bloodshot. He suffered from severe insomnia for the past two days, and he didn't give the players good cheer before the game. Fortunately, this is the home of the Warriors, and the fans gave it. There was no need for Nelson's encouragement, and everyone was full of confidence.

The game started, and the referee threw the ball into the air. Jordan seized the opportunity and jumped to the ball first. This was the first time the Warriors won the ball in the first quarter of the finals.

After jumping to the ball, Jordan proudly raised his eyebrows at Howard.Both of them are centers with strong physical fitness, and both are the centers of the championship team. It is impossible to say that Jordan has no desire to compete.

Howard has strong upper body strength, good bounce, and fast movement. Many people say that Howard is like a T, with slender lower limbs, strong upper limbs, and unstable lower body.

Jordan's jumping is also excellent, and has the characteristics of fast and flexible movement, better body coordination, and his lower limbs are obviously thicker than Howard's. From the comparison between the two, Jordan's arms are also longer.

In terms of quality alone, both of them are the embryos of super centers, but Jordan Jr. has never been able to reach the height of Howard in his previous life, because he has never received the same training as Howard-he was not trained as a core in the early stages of his career, but a blue-collar.

But this life is different. The Warriors' record has skyrocketed. Not only Li Zhi has benefited, but the exposure of other Warriors players has also gradually increased.A former parallel importer like Milicic can be gradually accepted by Warriors fans, and Jordan is even given high hopes by the team.

O'Neal taught Jordan's offensive skills a lot during training, so the current Jordan is a level higher than the Jordan of this period in the previous life.
