NBA: I'm not a clean center

5 minute later.

The boos on the field have disappeared, and some fans even yawned.

The score on the scorer becomes 8-11

The game time of the first quarter has also passed halfway.

After the two teams scored consecutive goals in the opening stage, they soon fell into an iron frenzy.

This made the Orlando fans on the sidelines lose interest, and even less interested in booing Sean.

"This seems to be the normal state of the Nets game. Their defense in this lineup is enough to contain the offense of most teams in the league, and then pull the opponent into the same defensive state as myself, and then defeat the opponent with their stronger defense. .”

"It's just that this kind of game is not exciting to watch. Just look at the audience on the sidelines."

Smith has had mixed reviews for the Nets' tough defense.

But Barkley was against him.

"Who said tough defense is no longer entertaining? Fierce physical confrontation is the battle between men, and the Nets' strategy is also very correct."

"The Magic team's style of play is that Dwight Howard is involved in the interior alone, and the other four shoot from the outside, which is the so-called one-star four-shot tactic."

"But the Nets' defense just stuck their throats, because the Nets are a team that is extremely good at defending the perimeter."

Barkley is right. With a defensive gate like Sean on the inside, the Nets' defensive focus is basically on the outside.

This also happened to be stuck on the pain point of the Magic.

This can be seen from the expression of Magic coach Stan Van Gundy on the sidelines.

At this time, he looked dignified, obviously the situation of the Magic team is not optimistic.

"fxxk, it's fucking crazy, how can any team defend the perimeter like this."

He cursed in his heart.

The game on the field continues.

Carter dribbled the ball at the top of the arc, using the cover of his teammates to form a defense change, and got rid of Mr. Tony's entanglement.

But the oncoming defender gave him another headache.

Trevor Ariza.

Also not to be underestimated as a defender.

Carter chose to make a strong breakthrough. After continuous cross steps, a big change of direction shook Trevor Ariza away, and he successfully burst in from the three-point line.

However, due to years of injuries and advanced age, Carter has long lost the explosive power he used to have.

Significantly slowed down while throwing off Trevor Ariza.

By the time he got to the free throw line, Trevor Ariza was on his side again.

Seeing that he was about to be covered by Trevor Ariza's defense again.

Carter made a sudden stop, and then shot a slightly backward jumper.

Trevor Ariza responded in a timely manner, and stepped forward to interfere with his hands raised high.

"Kangdang!!!!!!"

The players of the Magic team are also numb. I don't know how many times their team has hit the iron. Anyway, there are a lot of them.

The outside shooting, which was invincible in the past, was put on a shackle at this time.

Sean stuck Howard behind him and firmly controlled the rebound in his hands.

Howard behind him can only stare blankly.

In the past, he could always rely on his physical fitness to grab offensive rebounds.

But this time when he met Sean, who was as physically fit as him or even better, his average of 4 offensive rebounds per game became a joke.

The only thing that can thank the Magic is that the Nets' offense is also very hip.

When their team's main offensive points, Sean and Devin Harris, were locked up.

It is difficult for other players to give effective help because they do not have a good offense with the ball.

Even Tony Allen and Trevor Ariza are not stable with fixed-point three-pointers.

However, the whole Nets team didn't care at all. It is an indisputable fact that this lineup has poor offensive ability.

Their purpose is not to open the score, but to interrupt the Magic's perimeter offensive rhythm, freeze their touch, and drag the game into the familiar rhythm of the Nets.

What really opened the score to decide the outcome was actually the rotation lineup.

As time went on, the game quickly came to a competition between the two sides' rotations.

Harden, who was sharpening his sword, also ushered in the opportunity to perform on stage.

Xiao En's words before leaving the field inspired his fighting spirit even more.

"I won't perform well later, so I won't take you to a nightclub in Orlando at night."

Smith, who is familiar with the offensive firepower of the Nets' rotation, also came to the spirit.

"Both sides put in rotations, and the game changed from a defensive battle to an offensive battle."

"In the case of an evenly matched starting lineup, the rotation lineup is likely to determine the outcome of today's game."

"Let's see if Harden's performance can be as brave as the previous game!"

Frankly speaking, Harden's offensive strength has not yet reached the All-Star level at this time, and at most it is better than the starter.

But when you put him in the rotation, he plays like an All-Star.

Especially under the stimulation of Sean's nightclub as a gimmick.

After playing, he developed a strong desire to attack.

Facing Chris Duhon, who is not weak in defense, as a chicken thief, he directly relied on his own tonnage to hit the opponent with his back.

After squeezing to the free throw line, he turned around and wiped Chris Duhon, and scored with a throw.

"Very clever style of play, using his size advantage to back up Chris Duhon, James Harden's IQ is destined to become a great player."

Smith admires Harden very much.

"That's necessary because he has the same big ass as me."

Barkley credits Harden's success to his butt.

Under Harden's leadership, the Nets' rotation also showed their fangs.

After some crazy bombardment.

At the end of the first quarter, the score on the field became 20-27.

The Nets are mainly anti-customers, leading the Magic by a full 7 points.

Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy's face was livid, and the Magic's starting lineup was so restricted, which he did not expect.

Similarly, the Magic's rotation was blown up, which he did not expect at all.

Although this Magic is not as good as the one that reached the finals in the 08-09 season.

But last year, they also ranked second in the Eastern Conference.

The playoffs also reached the Eastern Conference Finals, only losing to the Celtics.

(The Magic this season is a little watery and was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.)
