The Orlando Magic's three-point offensive did not stop. After a slight interruption, Hedo Turkoglu reopened and hit two consecutive three-pointers, opening up the score that was hard to catch up.

For the Sonics, the more difficult thing to defend is that the Magic team doesn't bother with you at all, and shoots directly after getting the ball. No matter how tight your defense is, as long as you don't affect his shot, He'll be steadfast in throwing the ball to the hoop.

It’s hard to imagine how firm the Magic are. The Sonics’ defense has been expanded again and again, but they still use their three-point tactics. Once the three-point tactic is activated, it is so difficult to deal with. There is nothing they can do.

However, the Sonics did not allow the Magic to stretch the score too much. After all, they have a deep foundation. Whether it is Yao Ming on the inside or Stephen on the outside, they are very sure of scoring, although they are not as good as the three-pointer of the Magic. So sharp, but also defensive.

Although the Supersonics are on the defensive, they are not in a panic. Stephen did not fight to turn the tide as before, but has been organizing the team's offense and defense. With three-pointers, what kind of magic team can play, and can defeat the championship-level team led by himself, Stephen is a little unconvinced. [

Every championship team has at least one [-]-point shooter, such as Bruce Bowen of the San Antonio Spurs, Longley of the Chicago Bulls, Ray Allen of the Boston Celtics, Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Robert Horry of the Spurs, but it is a bit difficult to say that the championship can be won by three-pointers.

It should be said that it is not a little difficult, but extremely difficult. Three-pointers are difficult to defend and easy to attack, but they have a weakness of low shooting rate. They can be compensated by tactics or training, but they can’t make up for that much, so relying on three-pointers alone It is indeed an anomaly that the Magic can go so far, but in the first two games, their three-point tactics did not have any effect, so Stephen wants to observe for himself now.

At the same time, it also means avoiding the edge. Now the Magic's three-pointers, except for Dwight Howard, almost all the other four made a few three-pointers. Except for Ralph Alston's shooting rate is slightly lower, the others All three-pointers hit more than 50.00%, especially Michael Pietrus, who was in charge of defending Stephen. He was not very good at three-pointers, but he made two three-pointers with a hit rate of [-]%.

This kind of offensive is difficult even for the Sonics. This is driven by Stephen. The Sonics' defense has always been tough and tenacious. signs, but the Sonics' defense did not collapse in the end, but persisted.

The Magic really wanted to beat the Sonics to death with a single stick, but the Sonics were very aggressive in both offense and defense, especially their offense, even if they were in a hurry under their own offense, they still attacked when they came back. Stay very steady.

This is the background of the team. Although it failed last season, after the baptism of the playoffs, the Sonics became stronger. This season, the team has added fresh blood. People who are very active on both the offensive and defensive ends, the team has become more united and more confident, so they can still maintain a normal game state under the fanatical offensive of the Magic.

Slowly, the first quarter of the game was about to pass. At this time, the Sonics had already been led by 35 points, and the Magic had already scored more than [-] points. This had never happened before, but after the Halfway through, their three-pointers had declined. If it wasn't for the Sonics' offensive problems, they would have already caught up to the score.

After Yao Ming came off the field, the Sonics also rely on touch to make a living. Although the degree of reliance is less, the nature of outside shooting determines all of this. After the touch of both sides has declined, the Magic still believe that Their three-pointer, and the Sonics began to drive to the basket, trying to get closer to the basket.

But at this time, Dwight Howard's ability began to show. Facing the repeated attacks of the Sonics, Dwight Howard dealt with the offensive from left to right under the basket alone, and he did not lose much. To hit the basket, you have to rush past his big hands, even Stephen, almost fell into his way.

Dwight Howard can become the league's first defensive center, relying on his defense when outside players hit the basket and the defense against the new type of inside ball frame attack, and his defense is mainly based on blocking shots, unlike other players. People are mainly blocking people, so the data is naturally very good-looking. In essence, this is just a defensive direction, and the effect is not very good.

However, in this era, his defense is very useful, because with the revision of the league rules, there are fewer and fewer traditional inside players, and Dwight Howard's weaknesses and flaws are less obvious, and his defensive characteristics are being used. However, when zoomed in, it looks naturally very powerful.

Dwight Howard's technical characteristics and the Magic's outside three-point tactics complement each other. This is the factor for their success this season. This is also a combination of inside and outside, but both inside and outside have gone to an extreme. He gave up the offense on the top and focused on the offense after the second tip-up and grabbing the offensive rebound, while the outside line was mainly in the three-pointer.

Today, encouraged by the frenzied atmosphere at home, not only was their outside three-pointer excellent, but Dwight Howard also swept away the sluggishness of the previous two games and became excited. Coupard tried his best to restrain him, but failed so easy.

In the second quarter, Stephen began to exert his strength gradually, but his strength was not in scoring, but in defense and offensive organization. At this time, two rookies Serge Ibaka and Russell Westbrook Under Stephen's movement, he suddenly started to explode, one inside and one outside even played a pick-and-roll coordination, which was very rare before.

Russell Westbrook's breakthrough is very threatening, but he is even more threatening after the breakthrough. As a point guard, he is only qualified in this respect. What else is the overall situation and passing vision? They haven't been cultivated yet.

Most of the assists of many scoring point guards come in this way, such as Gilbert Arenas, such as Allen Iverson. Sometimes they aim to attack the basket.

Russell Westbrook is also such a player, but Serge Ibaka is the target of his ball. Seeing Serge Ibaka's extremely beautiful mid-range shot, many people are very puzzled , How did this guy who looks like a rough guy practice this trick? If he can really keep doing this, he will add a powerful weapon to the already impressive Sonics team, especially the one that can solve the problem. The Sonics now have a problem with insufficient inside offensive power when Yao Ming is not on the court.

Eight points, for the vast majority of players in the league, may be the points that can be obtained in one game, for a small number of players, it may be the points that they can obtain in one game, but for Stephen, it is just A small wave, relying on this wave of small offensive, the Sonics narrowed the point difference to two points. At this time, Stan Van Gundy couldn't help calling a timeout.

But after the timeout, not only did it not work, but the Sonics played a [-]-[-] offensive, overtaking the score by five points in one fell swoop. Sure, at this time, the offensive method should actually be changed, while strengthening the defense, while choosing a more efficient scoring method, but the Magic do not have this ability. [

They rely too much on their three-pointers. Except for Jamal Nelson, the others basically have no sure offensive means, and Jamal Nelson is not very sure, but he has no outside shooting ability. Faced with this situation, No one can do anything, and the gods have no power to return to heaven.
