After the two sides returned to the field in the second half, the morale of the Orlando Magic recovered. Although the first half still ended behind, it has never happened to the Orlando Magic to be able to lead by more than one quarter. After some encouragement from Stan Van Gundy, they regained their confidence.

Basically, the Orlando Magic returned to the beginning of the game, the confidence, the firmness, the forward momentum, the strong determination to win the game, but this is the second half after all, Their three-pointers can no longer be as miraculous as they were at the beginning of the game, it's just a little higher than normal.

The players of the Orlando Magic also know that if they want to win the championship, they must win this game, because only in this way can they have a chance, and then win one game at a time. In Seattle, they have seen how powerful this opponent is. Terrible, as long as they lead, there is almost no hope of equalizing, let alone overtaking, and it is very rare in the finals to enter garbage time early in two consecutive games.

This kind of shame also made them realize the reality, knowing that the Sonics are not so easy to beat, so they pin their hopes on their own home court. Their goal is to win all the home games, and then return to Seattle to compete with their opponents The championship, and the sweeping remarks in the media will only make them play harder, and the lead in the first half made them realize the necessity of their persistence, so in the second half, even if the three-pointer feels not very good for a while, they Did not give up either.

At this time, the Sonics are a little relaxed, especially when Stephen is not on the court, their defensive strength has dropped significantly. Kevin Durant and Damien Wilkins are working very hard to defend. But their defense is only at the individual level and cannot connect the team's defense together. [

Although the Sonics' offense did not have any major problems, but Stephen was not on the court, and the connection between inside and outside was less. Yao Ming rarely received the ball comfortably under the basket. In this season, except for Stephen, there are too few people who can cooperate well with him. Although the ball is now in the hands of Kevin Durant, he is not very good at organizing the offense. At most, he simply distributes the ball. , Even passing the ball, most of it was done by Russell Westbrook.

In this way, the Sonics' offense is focused on the outside, and the three players on the outside are all offensive types. It is reasonable to say that they should have an advantage in outside offense, but this is not the case, Russell Westbrook focuses on breakthroughs, but in front of Dwight Howard, he does not have much advantage, and as long as his offense is blocked, he will lose the ball.

If Russell Westbrook's breakthrough process is digitized from one to ten, when he reaches five, if he has a good chance to have teammates, he will still pass the ball, but if he goes one step further, Then he rarely passes the ball, even if it is obvious that the opponent is ready for defense, he rarely passes the ball, but this is not absolute. Occasionally, if he is in his field of vision, both sides can Seeing Steph or Kevin Durant, it's still possible to pass to them, but if he gets to the point of seven, that is, when he can make a three-step layup or one step away from a shot, he will not pass the ball out , even if the opponent's block has already reached in front of him.

Russell Westbrook is such a player. Once the offensive button is turned on, don’t expect him to pass the ball again. This offensive method looks very passionate, passionate, and energetic, but it is also easy to lose the ball, especially If the opponent has a Dwight Howard, and it is fine if it is blocked, if Dwight Howard grabs a rebound after barely getting out, Courtney Lee can play a role.

Courtney Lee is a very characteristic player. Since he has been in the starting lineup of the Orlando Magic, the Sonics have also conducted a key study on him. His height is a bit disadvantageous for shooting guards, and he plays point guards. He doesn't have this ability, especially considering his height, ball control should be his strength, but it happens to be his weakness.

So he doesn't have the breakthrough ability of ordinary short players, but when God takes one thing from you, he will leave you another. His ball running and cutting awareness are very good, and his outside shooting is also very good. He is a tactically qualified player, but he is not a player who can attack independently on the court, but his physical fitness is very good, and he is also very active in defense. It is because of this that he can start in the Orlando Magic, because he can defend Shooting guards can also defend point guards, especially for those tall point guards, the effect is very good, which can just make up for Jamal Nelson's shortcomings.

In addition, he also has a very good characteristic that he has a very good counterattack awareness. When he sees the offensive team shooting, he has already made all the preparations, and then quickly judges the probability of his own players getting the rebound according to the ball path. , This is the anticipatory awareness of rebounding. With his height and position, it is not easy to get backcourt rebounds, so he puts his energy on counterattacks. Once Dwight Howard or others have a great chance to get rebounds As soon as he got the ball, he started to counterattack, one step earlier than most people.

Counterattack is not exactly equal to fast break, even if the fast break is not successful, he can also participate in the counterattack as an effective part of tactics. It is precisely because of this technical characteristic that he was able to get the starting position in the Orlando Magic , it may be that his technical characteristics just adapted to the team, or it may be that he adjusted his playing style according to the needs of the team. It is still possible to defend his characteristics.

So as soon as Courtney Lee started to start, Russell Westbrook quickly caught up. As soon as the ball flew from Dwight Howard's hand to Courtney Lee's hand, Courtney Lee slowed down to catch the ball At the same time, Russell Westbrook came in front of Courtney Lee. Seeing the opponent's reaction so fast, Courtney Lee also knew that the counterattack would not succeed, so he slowed down and waited for his teammates to come up to respond.

Ralph Alston quickly came over and took the ball from his hands. Courtney Lee's dribble can only be said to be barely qualified. Under Russell Westbrook's defense, there have been several dangerous situations and he was almost pulled Sel Westbrook made a steal.

After Ralph Alston got the ball, Russell Westbrook gave up on Courtney Lee, handed him to Damian Wilkins who came after him, and then came to guard Ralph Alston , Although Stephen is missing, the Sonics' defensive enthusiasm has not dropped much, and there is still no problem in dealing with general fast breaks.

The Orlando Magic continued to stick to their own three-point play. After consecutive attempts to break through, Hedo Turkoglu handed the ball to the most confident Rashard Lewis. Rashard Lewis beat Kurt Thomas. I still have some experience, and in terms of scoring ability, he is indeed the strongest in this current Magic team, so when he got the ball, he made two fake moves on the left and right to break through, and Kurt Thomas, who was shaking, didn't know what to do. Take a step back to the left, then stand still, adjust your posture, aim, and shoot. A series of actions are done in an orderly and smooth manner, and the ball flies into the basket very smoothly.

With this three-pointer, the Magic narrowed the point difference to only three points. Russell Westbrook continued to attack the basket and finally succeeded this time. Another three-pointer hit, bringing the score closer again.

Turning back, Kevin Durant missed a shot, Yao Ming also missed a tip-up, the rebound was grabbed by Dwight Howard again, Courtney Lee continued to counterattack, Russell Westbrook was delayed by Ralph Als , failed to catch up with Courtney Lee, but Courtney Lee, who had already reached the basket, did not choose to shoot himself, but turned around and passed the ball to Rashad Lewis, who had already run beyond the three-point line. Shad Lewis didn't even stop, he jumped up by inertia, received a pass from Courtney Lee in the air, and threw the ball towards the hoop. If this ball was scored, the Orlando Magic would lead the score. The fans in the Amway Arena immediately straightened their necks in anticipation, their eyes widened, and they watched the ball fly in the air without daring to gasp, until the ball flew into the basket, and there was a loud bang.
