Chapter 92 The ball is here for you, you hit it!
Relying on the shark-slashing tactic, the Wizards slowly recovered the point difference.
But such chasing points are not without cost.
Wizards players almost averaged three or four fouls per player.
A large number of free throws did not make Howard feel better. On the contrary, after being sent to the free throw line frequently, Howard's own mentality seemed to fluctuate, and the free throws became more inaccurate.
Seeing this situation, Van Gundy decisively replaced Howard. On the one hand, he wanted to avoid his edge and ease Howard's irritability.On the other hand, the game has also progressed to the second half of the third quarter. Van Gundy wants to replace Howard to recover his physical fitness and wait until the fourth quarter.
In any case, when Howard was off the court, the pressure on the Wizards suddenly doubled.
A large part of the Magic's strong defense is based on Howard's inside defense system. Once Howard is off the court and there is no one inside who can support the sky, the Magic's defensive front will have loopholes.
Seeing this situation, Wang Xiao acted decisively and immediately put Jamison at the center position, forming a five-dead lineup of Curry, Harden, Danny Green, Butler and Jamison.
After several months of practice and training, this lineup of the dead five has gradually formed. Once placed on the field, the lethality is definitely at the level of nuclear weapons!
However, like nuclear weapons, although this lineup has great lethality, it also has a deadly double-edged sword.
In terms of offensive ability, this set of dead five is not inferior to that of the future Warriors, and it is even stronger. After all, Green's scoring ability cannot be compared with Jamison.
But in terms of defensive ability, the Wizards' set of dead five is really average, especially inside. The inside combination composed of Jamison and Butler not only has no defense, but the ability to protect rebounds is indescribably weak.
The Magic team replaced Howard with the Polish hammer Gortat. This is a big man with great potential and will make his fortune in the Suns in the future.
But now, Gortat is just Howard's substitute in the Magic, and the average waiting time per game is only about 14 minutes.
It is such a backup center who averaged 14 minutes per game and could only score 3.6 points and 4 rebounds. When facing the Wizards' dead five small lineup, he had the illusion of a super center.
The Magic attacked, Vince Carter ate the ball, broke through an emergency stop and missed a shot, Gortat pulled up and grabbed the rebound, and then tried to make a tip-up, Jamison immediately stepped forward to interfere, Gortat's tip-up was interfered and missed Go out, but then Gortat pulled up on the spot again, put the rebound in his arms, and then passed it to Lewis on the outside.
Lewis made a three-pointer from the outside, but it still didn't work, and Gortat jumped up and took the rebound again.
This time he finally found the right opportunity to pull up and dunk the basketball domineeringly into the basket.
"Drink!!!"
Gortat, who completed the slam dunk, roared domineeringly, with a hearty feeling.
He has been playing in the NBA for three years, and this is the first time he has played so well. The opponent's inside line seems to be completely non-confrontational. Although it is only an offense, he still plays like Howard.
It's just that his celebration has not been completed, and when he turned his head, he found that there was no player around him.
The Wizards have completed the baseline serve, and all five players have already rushed towards the frontcourt!
After all, Gortat is not Howard, he does not have Howard's explosive speed like a guard.
Half of the lightning fast break has arrived in an instant.
Harden drives the ball to the rim, then distributes the ball outside, and Jamison shoots from outside the three-point line.
"Swipe!" The basketball crashed into the net.
Van Gundy on the sidelines looked a little ugly.
This kid really dares to do this!
With rich experience, he can see the flaws of Wang Xiao's lineup at a glance. The interior lacks absolute height, and any center can easily penetrate the Wizards' interior.
Wang Xiao's daring to put this lineup on the court is simply a provocation to him, because he has spotted the gap where Howard can't play now.
"Slow down the offensive rhythm, play steadily, and let Gotart participate in the attack more!"
Van Gundy yelled from the sidelines.
At the same time, Van Gundy couldn't help but feel admiration for the young man on the other side of the court who silently watched the situation on the field with his hands on his hips.
During this period of time, he has heard a lot about this young coach who is only in his early thirties. Today, he played against him, and he really deserved his reputation. The quick response ability on the field alone is an essential element of an excellent coach.
"However, if you want to win this game, these little tricks alone are not enough!"
……
At the end of the third quarter, using the super offensive ability of the death five small lineup, the Wizards successfully completed the overtake, from trailing by more than ten points all the way to leading by two points.
However, when the fourth quarter started, the situation on the court changed rapidly.
First of all, Howard came back, rested for half a quarter of the game, and suffocated, Howard gave the Wizards a blow as soon as he came on the court.
Facing Curry who used the pick-and-roll to rush into the paint, Howard directly sent a volleyball smash to block the ball and slammed the basketball out of the field.
Not only Howard, after the start of the fourth quarter, the defensive intensity of the Magic team seemed to rise to a level. In the opening 2 minutes, the Wizards did not even score a point. On the contrary, Howard made 10 of 4 free throws on the Magic team. Go-ahead score again.
Is this the defensive ability of last year's Eastern Conference champions?
Standing on the sidelines, Wang Xiao could feel the almost suffocating defensive pressure.
This is completely different from watching it in front of the TV before.
If the Magic is like this, what will the Celtics with stronger defense look like?
Wang Xiao remembers very clearly that this year the Magic team faced the Celtics in the second round of the playoffs and was eliminated 4:2.
The reason why the Magic won the Celtics last year is also due to the fact that the Celtics' main player Garnett was unable to play due to injury.
……
On the court, the Wizards' foul tactics were a little slower. Lewis received a pass and made a shot from outside the three-point line.
Wang Xiao called a timeout without hesitation, and at the same time called Curry over.
"Stephen, next, I want to hand over the game to you. You don't need to wait for an open space to shoot, and you don't need to take other players into account. There is only one thing you need to do, and that is to send the basketball to the Into the hoop."
The disadvantage of the Wizards when facing the Magic is the restraint of tactics and lineup. If you want to break such restraint, you can only rely on the performance of superstars.
In fact, the reason why the Magic can gain the upper hand in the game is not relying on the performance of the superstar Howard?
Wang Xiao knows that it is still too early for Curry to take on such a heavy responsibility. Although he has a lot of systematic training and training, he is still not the invincible Ku Ritian who will be a late bloomer in the future.
But after playing against the Magic, Wang Xiao understood that the current tactical system of the Wizards was not enough for the Magic, Celtics, and Spurs.
If you want to make a difference in the playoffs, Curry, as the team's top scorer, must show a strong strength that no one can ignore!
