Chapter 346

On March 3, after the Phoenix Suns lost the top game, they rushed to Orlando non-stop without any time to rest and adjust, and challenged the Orlando Magic back-to-back away.

The Orlando Magic have lost the splendor they had two months before the start of the game. "Warcraft" Howard has not grown up yet, and the head coach can't suppress the players. So far, no suitable tactics have been polished.

At present, the Magic only ranks No. 32 in the Eastern Conference regular season with a record of 36 wins and 9 losses.

From No.1 in the regular season, it has slipped to ninth and dropped out of the playoffs. It can be seen that the Magic is in a bad state, and its state has also plummeted recently. In the last 10 games, it has only won 1 game and lost 9 games.

How can such a competitive state be the opponent of the Suns?

However, despite the Orlando Magic's poor record, their lineup is quite luxurious. Just looking at the lineup, they are still very competitive.

The point guard is played by Steve Francis. He is a star with strong physical talent and can score points.

The shooting guard is played by Deshaun Stevenson. Although Stevenson has a bad reputation, he has good physical talent and has the characteristics of becoming a top "3D" player.

Small forward Grant Hill, there is no need to be suspicious of his strength. Even if he has undergone knee surgery, he is still a top star.

Jordan's successor.

The power forward is served by this year's No. [-] pick Dwight Howard. Although his immediate combat power is not good, his physical talent is still unparalleled.

Just playing with his body, he can become a superstar and the number one center in the future.

The center position is played by Kevin Cato. His strength is really mediocre, but he is very strong and can resist people.

Just by being able to resist O'Neal, he can sign a big contract of tens of millions. It can be seen that his defensive ability is still outstanding.

This lineup requires stars to have stars, and defense to have to defend. I really don't understand how the Magic are playing like this. I thought they would have the strength to compete for the championship?

Unexpectedly, even the last train of the playoffs may not be able to make it.

It's just that it's not unreasonable to think that Howard was arranged to play power forward, and the Magic played in such a bad state.

In the first quarter, the Suns, who thought they would play very easily, were stubbornly resisted by the Magic.

The Magic played the Spurs' two-tower tactic.

In positional warfare, the main offense is performed by Hill, who can play as a point forward.

Hill, who came back from injury, played with much less spirituality and more concise mid-range shots. Although his injury has healed, he still can't let go of his heart.

There are a lot of shots, but the offensive efficiency is neither good nor bad, which feels like a chicken rib.

In addition to Hill's singles, Francis' offensive play followed. However, after he came to Orlando, his competitive state declined too much, and his peak strength has passed. He only made 6 of 1 shots in the first quarter.

Howard has Duncan's physical talent, but not Duncan's skills.

As a power forward, he has no inside offensive space, and even if he singles out Marion, he can't play well.

Marion has excellent strength, can resist people, has fast feet, and can defend around the front.

Moreover, the three-point search shooter that the Magic equipped Howard with did not honestly stay outside the corner three-pointer.

Stevenson doesn't like playing off the ball, and he doesn't like being a spot-up shooter. He likes to catch the ball and hit it in, proving his tough style of play.

Not to mention Cato, the offense is to pick up leaks, and the defense is to resist people and assist in defense, breaking the opponent's pick-and-roll tactics.

The Magic's offensive efficiency in the first quarter was not good, but the Magic froze the Suns' pick-and-roll tactics on defense.

The unsolvable pick-and-roll of Nash and Stoudemire was suppressed, and the offensive situation could not be opened.

Richardson's three-pointer, under Hill's marking, also misfired.

凭借着马里昂7投5中，和乔约翰逊6投5中，联手轰下23分。

After the first quarter, the Suns had a tie with the Magic.

31 to 31! !
The second quarter started, and the Magic's offensive firepower continued well, playing a golden double-gun offensive pattern.

Su Mier Nelson and Stevenson, who came off the bench, teamed up on the perimeter and scored 22 points together, leading the Magic to output firepower with 30 points in a single quarter.

The Suns didn't have a star to stand up to fight. It seemed that the whole people were soldiers. In fact, the offensive efficiency was not good, and they only scored 26 points.

At the end of the first half, the Phoenix Suns trailed the Orlando Magic by 57 points with a score of 61 to 4 and entered the locker room to rest.

The second half continued, and the two sides changed sides to fight again.

The situation on the court changed suddenly, and the Suns' inside offensive firepower suddenly became powerful.

Stoudemire and Nash's pick-and-roll cooperation succeeded in frequent attacks, and Joe Johnson and Marion on the outside also performed well.

Even though Richardson was not in good condition, he still played a multi-point offensive offensive. In the third quarter, he scored a 36-24 score for the Magic, completely pulling the score back and leading the Magic by 8 points.

The Magic's offense was misfired directly. Except for Francis, who made 6 of 4 shots and scored 8 points, the performance of the others was very average.

The game started in the fourth quarter, and the two sides still chose to attack, but the offensive efficiency was hard to say.

The Suns' Joe Johnson was 5 for 1, Richardson was 4 for 1, and Stoudemire was 3 for 1.

Seeing his teammates' offensive efficiency plummeting, Nash stood up and took the initiative to carry the banner of the Suns' offense. He made 4 of 3 shots and 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 12 points in a single quarter and stubbornly kept the fruits of victory until the end.

In fact, the Magic's offensive efficiency is also not good. Nelson made 7 of 1 shots, Stevenson made 4 of 1 shots, and the two guns misfired.

Relying on the power of Hill and Francis, the Magic got the last chance to have a lore.

With 6 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Suns led the Magic by 118 points with a score of 116 to 2. However, the Magic still had the final offensive possession.

But it's ridiculous that the Magic actually let Nelson execute the final blow.

As a result, Nelson missed the chance to kill with a non-stick three-pointer.

118 to 116! !
The Phoenix Suns, who broke out in a cold sweat, still had the last laugh and escaped from the Orlando Magic.

Otherwise, the top position of the Suns will change hands.

On March 3th, the Phoenix Suns played against the Denver Nuggets at the American West Arena.

After the Denver Nuggets lost to the Phoenix Suns, their competitive state was still strong. With a wave of 6 consecutive victories, they pulled down the Lakers and Grizzlies in one fell swoop. With a record of 38 wins and 30 losses, they reached No.7 in the Western Conference regular season. The desire to fight is very high.

This is a tough battle!

Sure enough, in the first quarter, the Nuggets played against the Suns by Andre Miller and Camby's one outside and one inside. They were only 23 to 24 behind the Suns by 1 point.

In the next match, although the two sides opened up their stances and fought wildly, they still played very anxiously. Both sides were desperately attacking, and no one could do anything to their opponents.

In the second quarter of the game, Anthony began to exert his strength, attacking the three-threat posture, plus post-up singles, playing with ease and flourishing.

It played a 32-32 score with the Suns.

In the third quarter, the Nuggets played a multi-point offensive situation, but the Suns' offensive firepower was equally strong, and the two sides tied again.

33 to 33! !
By the fourth quarter, the difference between the two sides was only 1 point.

However, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Suns' offensive firepower began to go berserk. The 7-second run and bomb and diamond tactics began to shine. , took away the victory of the game.

At the end of the full game, the Phoenix Suns defeated the Denver Nuggets again with a score of 123 to 114, ending the opponent's 6-game winning streak.
