ALL NOVEL The strongest bishop in the NBA
Chapter 91
Chapter 91
The matchup between the Wizards and the Magic is something that many fans in the league have been looking forward to for a long time.
These two teams are currently the teams that average the most three-pointers per game in the league.
The Wizards are averaging more than 40 three-pointers per game.
The Magic also made close to 30 three-pointers.
Except for the Wizards and Magic, the rest of the team's three-pointers are basically below 25 times per game.
Also known for their three-pointers, the Magic and Wizards are significantly different.
On the one hand, the Magic has an inside monster Howard.
O'Neal is getting old, Duncan and Garnett have both passed their peak careers, and Oden, who is expected to be high, is still watching the excitement on the bench. Howard, who can average 18 points, 13 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game, can be called The strongest insider in the league at present.
On the other hand, the Magic's outside lineup is also quite luxurious. In the new season, the demigod Vince Carter, the billionaire Mr. Sarah Lewis, and outstanding outside shooters such as Pietrus, Nelson, Redick and Barnes .The defensive abilities of these shooters are quite good. Under the guidance of Stan Van Gundy, who is known for his defense, the entire Magic's defense can be called an impregnable wall.
This season, the Magic averaged 95 points per game, ranking third in the league, while averaging 105 points per game, ranking sixth in the league.
This is definitely a strong team with a strong offensive and defensive balance.
And the Wizards are much weirder.
The scoring average of 117 points per game is the highest in the league, and no team can match it, but at the same time, the average loss of 107 points per game is also the bottom few in the league.
Compared with the extremely solid Magic, the Wizards seem to be dancing on the tip of a knife, which is why the team's style of play has always been criticized.
Although the current record is quite good, but relying only on three-pointers and offense, can they really win all the time?
Many people are skeptical.
Now, finally, the time has come to verify this question.
Wizards VS Magic, is it possible to win with a steady three-pointer, or is it better to shoot unreasonably and randomly?
The game was played at the Orlando Amway Center, home of the Magic.
At the beginning of the game, the Wizards in the away game fell into a passive state.
Howard's condition is quite good. Wizards' starting center Heywood can be regarded as a relatively strong defensive center in the interior, but he has no resistance in front of Howard. That guy is like a real monster. The ball dunks, grabs the offensive rebound and makes up the dunk.
As the last super center in the post-center era, Howard is really terrifying!
In the first quarter of the game, Haywood, Jordan Jr. and McGee played in turns, but they were still abused without any suspense in front of Howard.
If it weren't for Curry's good touch, he scored 3 three-pointers in the first quarter, and the point difference between the two teams would be widened in the first quarter.
Howard's terror lies not only in his terrifying lethality inside, when this big man sprints, his speed is no less than that of a small guard!
The most commonly used pick-and-roll combination of the Wizards has no advantage at all when facing Howard.
When the inside center came out to pick and roll Curry, Howard immediately followed and defended. The action was so fast that Curry didn't even have a little space to shoot a three-pointer!
When the game progressed to the second quarter, when the Wizards players' touch began to decline gradually with their physical strength, the scores of the two teams began to have a gap.
At the end of the second quarter, the score of the two teams was 58:47. The Wizards trailed by 11 points in the away game.
"Sure enough, the Magic's lineup or Howard still restrains our tactics."
In the locker room, Wang Xiao shook his head and said.
The team members were all silent, facing Howard, none of them had a good solution.
The Magic's defensive tactics are very simple. The four players on the outside are strictly guarding against their shots. For this reason, they did not hesitate to put them inside.
But after rushing into the interior, they faced Howard, the monster's defense. Even if they were small and big, they had certain advantages, but how could their offensive efficiency be so high in front of this monster?
"Haywood, Jordan Jr., McGee." Wang Xiao looked at the three insiders. "In the second half of the game, let's chop the shark."
The shark-cutting tactic originated from the old Mavericks head coach Nelson. This is a set of tactics specifically aimed at O'Neal.
The peak O'Neal is unstoppable by anyone in the paint. No matter who you send or how many people you send, there is no way to stop him.
But O'Neal has always had a shortcoming, and that is free throws.
Grasping O'Neal's bad free throws and constantly fouling O'Neal, compared to letting O'Neal attack with the ball, it is less efficient to directly send him to the free throw line to score.
Although Howard's offense is far inferior to O'Neal's, his free throws are equally bad. Using the shark-slashing tactic against him is naturally not as profitable as using the peak O'Neal, but it should be able to recover some rounds anyway.
In Wang Xiao's team, the most indispensable thing is the center.
Haywood, Jordan Jr., and McGee are three big centers, and there is also a power forward like Brac who can push up to the center position. He will never worry about not being able to play because of too many fouls.
After the start of the third quarter, the team immediately began to execute.
Howard just stood up inside and started asking for the ball. As soon as the basketball was delivered to him, Jordan fouled immediately.
Howard walked to the free throw line and didn't realize what was about to happen.
The Wizards were lucky, Howard missed two free throws.
The Wizards who got the ball took the opportunity to make an offense.
Just as the Magic served the ball, the whistle blew again.
Stan Van Gundy couldn't help standing up from his seat.
Shark hacking tactics.
Turning his head to look at Wang Xiao, Van Gundy narrowed his eyes slightly.
"This kid is quite decisive."
On the court, Howard began to feel depressed.
At this time, he also knew that the opponent was going to use foul tactics against him.
"Hey, aren't you afraid that I'll make all the penalties?"
Howard's words made both Butler and Jamison couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, then you can take all the penalties. I hope the basket is an ocean in front of you."
Howard grinned and walked to the free throw line.
first penalty.
"frame."
The crisp sound of iron striking made Howard's face darken.
Immediately following the second free throw.
"frame!"
Wang Xiao off the court couldn't help but laugh too.
4 of 0 free throws, it seems that luck is really good!
Seeing that the effect was good, the Wizards intensified their efforts. In the next few rounds, as long as they saw Howard, someone would immediately run up and foul.
For a while, boos to the Wizards' shameless tactics resounded on the court, but Wang Xiao was unmoved in the slightest.
As the saying goes, soldiers never tire of cheating, as long as they can win, what does it matter if they are booed twice?
