After the confession failed, I went to the NBA to play and lose weight

Chapter 237 Strong Team Temperament
Smith is young and energetic, not to be outdone. The height difference between the two seems to be not as big as imagined, and their foreheads are similar to each other.

Fortunately, at this time, the teammates on both sides saw that the situation was not going well and hurried up to pull him back. Li Chengming even stopped them directly, and separated them directly with two big hands.

Smith directly patted his hand away, and he wasn't annoyed at all. He just gave the other side a sideways glance, but he could understand that the other party's mentality was obviously explosive at this time.

It's also understandable. After all, they were still talking harshly before. At 0:2, they also told the media that returning to the home court would make the Magic look good. Is this the result?
He didn't catch the cruel words from the young man, and he didn't know whether he was competing with himself or his opponent. Anyway, it was unwise to make such a thing at this time.

Sure enough, in order to control the situation, the referee was no longer used to it, and blew Smith a malicious foul against the boos of the audience.

Of course, the home fans don't care about right or wrong. At this time, their butts must be on the side of the home team.

Two free throws for a malicious foul, even if Howard misses both free throws, they still have an offensive opportunity. At this time, every offensive round is extremely valuable, and it can be expected that the Magic will definitely press the time to play as much as possible. Anyway, they still have a lot of lead.

In the eyes of the fans, this is extremely detrimental to the Eagles, so naturally they have to oppose it.

However, the players may be affected, and the referees don't care about the attitude of the fans. Anyway, at least part of their salary is to be scolded by the fans.

Howard also guessed that he hadn't slowed down yet, and the first free throw came directly. Not only the Eagles fans behind the basket rejoiced, but the referee and himself couldn't hold back anymore, just shook their heads with a smile.

The second free throw was made, the Magic still had possession of the ball and served in the frontcourt.

Turkoglu gave Li Chengming, who was carrying the opponent's back to catch the ball at his waist, Li Chengming immediately turned around after receiving the ball and made a three-threat to Williams.

He was not in a hurry to attack, and it was indeed time to suppress the rhythm at this time. Seeing that someone next to him was about to attack, he did not hesitate, and quickly brought the ball out and handed it to Turkoglu.

Turkoglu used Li Chengming's cover to come to the right bottom corner, and Williams immediately switched up. Turkoglu observed his teammates and the route, and a change of direction stuck Williams' body and broke through the penalty area along the bottom line.

Li Chengming quickly followed him and went to the basket in parallel. Turkoglu attracted the attention of the defender and directly stuffed it into the hands of Li Chengming who followed up. Li Chengming successfully put the basket with both hands.

The ball was given very "small", and it was almost passed through the crowd, and it was easy to make mistakes. At this time, Yigao was also bold.

Of course, the time pressure is almost over, and even if the attack fails, the goal is considered to be half achieved, which is acceptable.

10 points difference, 1 minute and 27 seconds left.

Woodson had to call another timeout, but he didn't seem to have much to do at this time. After all, it wasn't their offense that was a problem, but that they couldn't defend against the Magic at all, so it was impossible to catch up with the score. Tan.

The Magic can score almost every possession, but they can't guarantee that they can make every attack.

The Eagles were originally based on defense, but facing the Magic, they were simply overwhelmed.

This is also a point that makes them very helpless. In fact, the team has always felt that if the opponent can be replaced by the Celtics, they may have more opportunities, because the Celtics' inside offense basically relies on Garnett, but Garnett The special thing is to pull out and shoot. The ability to attack inside is average among insiders of this level.

As for the Magic, there are two inside killers. Howard is enough to make people worry. Even if there are only three axes, it is enough for a team like the Eagles who is not good inside. Li Chengming, a low-post offensive kaleidoscope.

The commentator also feels a little sorry for the Eagles who have worked so hard in this game, "They have played very hard, but there is really no way. They didn't take it lightly, but after this game, they should be able to breathe a little bit of relief."

In history, there has never been a 3:0 lead and finally lost the series, but there have been chased to the tie-break and finally lost. This is the last breath.

The most recent one was the Mavericks and Trail Blazers in 03-the Mavericks always seem to have these strange records, but this time they were dragged into the tiebreaker with a 3:0 lead, but finally won.

In most cases, the result of a 3:0 lead is that the majority will end within four games, and it will be delayed by one or two games at most.

Sure enough, as expected, after returning from the timeout, the Eagles still failed to recover from the decline. Two consecutive strikes allowed the Magic to take advantage of the situation and pull the score to 15 points. With more than half a minute left, even a foul was avoided. .

In the end, the Magic won a near-miss victory in the away game. The surprise was basically in the first three quarters. From the fourth quarter, the Magic had the upper hand. The Eagles also scored quarter after quarter. lower.

After this game, the momentum of the Eagles was also visibly depressed, and the outside talk about the upset has almost disappeared, although the original hope was very low.

The Magic's two halftime reversals in the playoffs, the overall performance is still in line with the outside world's expectations for them.

Judging whether a team is strong or not, abuse of food is not the key. It is to be able to stabilize the situation under unfavorable factors, go up against the wind, and be able to make a final decision at critical moments.

Of course, this is also based on the premise that the Magic's bad food is not bad, otherwise the title of "robbing the rich and helping the poor" is indispensable, and this is not a title that is easy to achieve.

As it is now, being able to abuse food but also play against a strong team, and being able to fight against the wind and against the wind is the real temperament of a strong team.

After this game, among the four most important contenders for the championship, the Magic, Spurs, and Lakers all took a 3-0 lead in the series. On the contrary, the Celtics, the most promising team, scored 2 points at home in Philadelphia just now. Lost.

In the end, Pierce missed the tie ball and failed to drag the game into overtime.

Of course, generally speaking, they still have the advantage, but the quality of the opponent's play is surprising.

There are also other people who believe that it is not that Philadelphia played too well, but that the Celtics unexpectedly pulled their hips, and they did not play as strong as a 65-win team that was only one game less than the Magic in the regular season.

You must know that the Philadelphians are only ranked seventh in the East, and their winning percentage is also only [-]%. From the perspective of record, it seems that they are not much better than the Eagles.

Of course, what was even more surprising was the performance of the No. [-] Pistons in the Eastern Conference. They lost to the Raptors by a big score in their first game at home.

After losing a home-court advantage, they lost the first away game before. The series has fallen behind by 1:2, which is surprising.

The main problem is that there is a problem with their offense. There are two games without more than 90 points, and the defense gave the opponent too many opportunities.

Especially in the third game, Bosh played a super performance of 40+15, which is comparable to Duncan. It is no wonder that some people also regard Bosh as the "fourth power forward".

If Garnett hadn't come to the East, Bosh would have been the No. [-] power forward in the East.

After the Orlando game, the Pistons played against the Raptors on the same day. The two sides fought fiercely until the end. The Raptors turned the big score into 7:3 by relying on the wonderful performance of 1 players scoring in double figures.

The Pistons, the regulars who have reached the Eastern Conference Finals at least in the past five years, are about to fall in the first round.

This made the outside world quite unexpected, and it also made Bosh, led by the Raptors, gain momentum for a while.

As the No. 03 pick of the Platinum Generation in 4, Bosh has been overshadowed by James, Anthony, Wade and others before. Even though he led the Eastern Conference to the third place last season, he was stopped in the first round of the playoffs by the next game, but let him fall. Following in the footsteps of Nowitzki, he was criticized by the outside world for being too "soft".

This season, the Raptors' regular record has declined. Although it has been affected by injuries, Bosh's own performance has indeed declined, which has further lowered the outside world's perception of him.

If he can break through the first round of the playoffs this time, even if he stops in the second round, he will return a lot of his reputation.
