explosive dribbler

Chapter 151 Zero to Two

An Xiaonan was very helpless, he was really not strong enough to control the game by himself, he had to rely on his teammates to win.

But when it comes to the level of competition intensity in the playoffs, can the teammates really work hard?
The power of the team is really too strong.

The next day, all Magic players gathered in the multimedia room.

They have to gather and watch the video of the game, and find out the shortcomings from it, and make corrections in the next game.

Through repeated observation and statistical statistics, it can be found that the Magic only had 12 assists in the game, while the Celtics had 22 assists in the game.

The Magic couldn't pass the ball at all. They made a total of 20 turnovers in the game, while the Celtics only had 6 turnovers.

Moreover, in terms of three-pointers, the Magic made 22 of 5 shots and the Celtics made 18 of 7 shots. The efficiency was crushed.

After some discussions, the Magic players believed that they should pay more attention to teamwork in the next game, and breaking the surface is the last resort.

During this time of collectively watching the video, An Xiaonan remained silent.

If they lose the next game, then they are really in trouble.

The night of the G2 game.

The tie-break between the 76ers and the Cavaliers had already determined the winner two days ago. In the end, with James' dominant performance in the last minute, the Cavaliers narrowly beat the 1ers 101:98 and advanced to the second round.

They will start their G1 game with the Raptors at the same time as the Celtics vs. Magic game tonight.

An Xiaonan no longer pays attention to the Cavaliers and Raptors, he just wants to focus on the game against the Celtics.I don't know how many times the word Celtic appeared in his dreams.

When entering the arena, it seemed that each and every one of the Celtics players looked calm, as if they had never played the first game at all.They are not proud of winning or discouraged in defeat, and always face the game with a humble and cautious attitude.

This is what Stevens warned all players.This group of young people looked extremely mature, not youthful at all.

The game started.

The first offense was in the hands of the Celtics. They still implemented team basketball. After passing the ball a few times, Horford's hook shot under the basket was just a hair's breadth away from the basket, and was protected by Gordon with a rebound.

The moment An Xiaonan received the ball, all the players started to run, and the teammates showed enthusiasm that G1 didn't have in this game.

An Xiaonan directly passed the ball to Gordon with an exquisite long pass, and Gordon passed the ball hand-to-hand to Fournier to make a pick-and-roll. Fournier jumped up directly behind Gordon with great confidence. shoot.

Three-point shot!The arc of the ball is extremely high, and it ends up hollow into the net.

An Xiaonan clenched his fist, but there was no expression on his face.

The Celtics still failed to score in the second offense. Jaylen Brown forced a layup and was blocked by Gordon. An Xiaonan led his teammates to launch a defensive counterattack again.

Quickly advancing to the frontcourt, the Celtics returned to defense quickly.An Xiaonan suppressed the rhythm, then used Vucevic's pick-and-roll to break through to the free throw line, and then passed the ball to Simmons on the opposite side with a shake of his hand.

Simmons received the ball and directly broke through into the inside line, forced a layup and caused Horford's foul to go to the free throw line.

The two offenses played well tonight.

Simmons made two free throws and the Magic opened with a [-]-[-] lead.

The Celtics have become accustomed to this kind of start, and they have long been used to it.They adjusted quickly.

The team's top scorer, Al Horford, hit a three-pointer from beyond the arc.

For this shot, An Xiaonan and his teammates cooperated well, and then An Xiaonan got a chance to shoot from the middle distance.

But An Xiaonan missed the strike.

The next game is probably going to be like this. The Magic's offensive efficiency is good, but the Celtics are still biting the score with the strength of teamwork.

At the end of the first quarter, the Celtics scored evenly. Horford scored six points, Brown scored five points, Tatum scored five points, and Rozier scored four points.

Magic 26:23 Celtics.

An Xiaonan's stats are mediocre up to now, but An Xiaonan feels that this game was played well, at least it was much easier than the last game.

The trend of the second quarter has not changed, An Xiaonan still mainly connects teams.Tonight's Magic and the last game are two completely different teams. Except for Simmons who doesn't feel very good, everyone else's shooting percentage is more than [-]%.

At halftime, the Magic 57:51 the Celtics.

Three people from the Magic have scored in double figures, namely Gordon, Vucevic, and Fournier.An Xiaonan had 8 points and 6 assists.

The Celtics also scored in double figures with three players. Horford is currently the player with the most points on the court. He performed well in the second quarter and scored a total of 16 points.

The variable of the game occurred in the third quarter.

When An Xiaonan started to attack independently, the Celtics suddenly made a change.

It was Smart who defended him.

When An Xiaonan had a physical confrontation with him, for some unknown reason, Smart suddenly fell to the ground, and then the referee called An Xiaonan an offensive foul.

An Xiaonan's pupils shrank suddenly, he had no idea what happened.

There was a slight fluctuation in his mentality.

He didn't notice that before he knew it, his foul count had reached three.

Smart's performance is really good. This is Coach Stevens' tactical deployment, the purpose is to get An Xiaonan into foul trouble.

In fact, Smart did better than Stevens imagined.

Smart kept entangled An Xiaonan with small movements, and An Xiaonan broke free impatiently, but Smart covered his face in pain and fell to the ground.

The referee blows the whistle again!An Xiaonan made a defensive foul!

An Xiaonan became anxious immediately, and rushed to the referee, widened his eyes and spread his hands: "Referee, I never touched him at all! He fell down by himself!"

Vogel secretly thought it was bad, and quickly replaced An Xiaonan.

An Xiaonan was quite rational and didn't try to anger the referee.

But his mood has been greatly damaged.

Smart is so cheap.

An Xiaonan just wanted to knock Smart to the ground, but he knew that Smart would foul him again.

He committed four crimes.

The Magic were in trouble again, trailing by nine points all of a sudden at the end of the third quarter.

When An Xiaonan came back in the fourth quarter and wanted to end the game, his mentality was already annoyed by Smart to the point of exploding.

In the fourth quarter, An Xiaonan scored zero in five, which directly ruined the game.

The Magic lost to the Celtics 98:112.

The big score became zero to two.

The Magic are on the verge of a last stand.

They lost both games at home to the Celtics.
