Fan thinks too much, and Mike Woodson's defensive-first coaching style has never changed.It's just that after having a talented player like Ruan Erniu, he was given more offensive autonomy.

It has to be said that from the very beginning of the game, Ruan Erniu took the lead in the duel with Howard.

Sparks left the threat zone on the inside and were basically useless on the offensive end.On the defensive end, Ruan Erniu, a mobile insider who can make sudden shots, also has a lot of restraint on Howard.If you are not careful, Er Niu will convert the advantage of missmatch (dislocation) into actual points.

Fortunately, the Magic has always been an outside-in team on the offensive end.

Turkoglu and Nelson hit three-pointers from outside one after another, and the game returned to a balanced state immediately.

However, the Eagles did not show weakness. First, Ruan Erniu and Jiongsen made hits in the middle distance, and then successfully transferred Howard from the inside. Lunar Eclipse and Marvin became wild horses in one fell swoop. He has repeatedly made empty cuts to the basket, including wonderful dunks.

One team started shooting from the outside, and the other team immediately turned the opponent's inside upside down.The end of the first quarter, 30:24, the visiting team is in front and the home team is behind.

The people of Orlando would never have imagined that last season, the Eagles, which ranked third from the bottom in the Eastern Conference, easily suppressed the eighth team in the Eastern Conference that had just sent out a contract worth [-] million yuan.If it weren't for the team's strong three-pointers as a whole, I'm afraid they would fall behind by a large margin in the first quarter.

Ruan Erniu, who played less than 9 minutes, discussed the game with his teammates. In less than a quarter, he made 6 of 4 shots, 1 of 1 free throw, and efficiently passed Dwight Howard. Got 9 points and 6 rebounds.

Howard, who is facing him, doesn't have the demeanor of the future league's number one center at all. With 0 points and 3 rebounds, he is more like a rookie in the league than his opponent.

Stan Van Gundy, of course, took his anger out on him too.Clearly, he's pretty unhappy with the team's All-Star center.This is not the competitive state that a team that aspires to compete for the championship should have.

Da Fan was drooling wildly there, while Woodson had a relaxed expression on his face. He wrote and drew on the tactical board leisurely, as if he had arranged a set of advanced offensive tactics.

However, Ruan Erniu is familiar with the existence of routines.He covered his mouth and said to Jiongsen beside him: "I can guarantee that within 10 seconds, even Mike himself will not remember what the tactics he just arranged!"

囧囧sen also covered his mouth and said softly: "Just know, don't be too loud!"

Fortunately, Woodson is living the fantasy of a master tactician.If he really hears the chat content of the two aces in the team, he will strangle these two bastards to death if they are not kept together.

After the start of the second quarter, the two teams began to rotate their main lineups on a large scale.Both Huo Hua and Er Niu were kept on the bench.After all, it is a preseason game, and it is obviously unrealistic to expect them to play the entire game.

The trend of the game in this quarter can be described as calm. First, the Magic team played a 7:0 spurt, overtaking the score in one fell swoop, and then the Eagles played a wave of 11:2, and once again recovered and tied. Score exceeded.Then, in the following time, it will be a saw-saw between the two sides.

The score has always maintained a gap of about 5-6 points, and the time of the first half of the game has finally come to an end.

At 49:44, the Atlanta people in the away game maintained their temporary lead.

During the halftime break, in the locker room of the visiting team, Mike Woodson praised rookie Ruan Erniu for his outstanding performance.It can be said that he completely suppressed Howard in the first quarter, laying a solid foundation for the team's lead.

The Eagles have a peaceful atmosphere, but the locker room of the home team is in a state of volcanic eruption.Stan Van Gundy turned on the hair dryer mode and sprayed it from the center to the guard. Anyway, there is no position that can satisfy him.

Howard is of course the main baptist of this wave of saliva, but he was suppressed by a rookie.

"I will definitely show the people of the Celestial Dynasty a little bit!" Huo Hua secretly made up his mind.

The third quarter started soon, the two teams resumed their starting lineups, and Ruan Erniu faced Howard again.

Sparks once again received the ball on the inside, and after a hard squeeze, he quickly distributed the ball to the outside.

give up?Ruan Erniu didn't have time to think about that, because this guy Nelson had already broken through veteran Anthony Johnson's defense and got inside.

Facing Nelson with strong impact, Ruan Erniu stretched out his long arms, firmly locking the opponent's attacking space.

Nelson's thrust was too deep and too fierce, and he had no chance to score.Just when most people thought that this breakthrough would come back in vain, Nelson casually threw the ball into the air.

Oops!Before Ruan Erniu had time to turn his head, Howard was already hanging on the backboard.Before landing, he took two rebounds hard.

Er Niu complained in his heart: "Anyway, it's their own backboard, so they're not afraid to shoot it bad!"

However, Howard obviously did not intend to let go of this opportunity to hit Ruan Erniu.Before he turned back to defend, he said contemptuously: "Rookie, welcome to the NBA!"

However, he was quickly sprayed back by Ruan Erniu, "The old bird who didn't score a point in the first half should take care of himself first!"

Being attacked on the defensive end, of course you have to get it back on the offensive end.Superstars have always relied on ANSWERBALL to enhance their value.

Ruan Erniu, who caught the ball in the high post, quickly scored 2 points with an unpretentious straight-arm shot.When Moon Eclipse returned to defense, he bumped Er Niu's shoulder and said, "Why don't you buckle him?"

Ruan Erniu rolled his eyes, spread his hands and said, "It's just a preseason game, do we need to work so hard?"

That's what I said, but the real reason is that Ruan Erniu himself is afraid of Howard's defensive dominance.

If Warcraft can really let him get whatever he wants in the low post, then he is not worthy of being called the hope of the league center.

In the third quarter, the two sides were still in a tug-of-war. Ruan Erniu, a rookie, did not show weakness at all, and repeatedly used various offensive methods to score points.

In contrast, although Howard has recovered from his state in the first half of the game.But he is still entangled by Ruan Erniu on the offensive end.Can't play the scoring ability of a top center at all.

As his predecessor - Shaquille O'Neal said, his inside offensive ability has always been overestimated.

However, in the third quarter, Mr. Billionaire Rashad Lewis finally found his offensive state. He shot from inside and outside, made 3 of 4 three-pointers, and scored 3 points, which further narrowed the gap for the Magic. score.

72:70, the Eagles ended the third quarter with a 2-point advantage.

And this score is not enough to guarantee the final victory.Even if it is an ordinary playoff game, it still allows the audience to earn back the ticket price. This is an intense enough game!
