Chapter 629 The Veteran Shows His Power
"Being behind 2:0 is a good thing. It's not the end of the world. We will find a way to deal with it in the following games."

Star Van Gundy was still unwilling to admit defeat after returning to Orlando, but his self-confidence in front of the media made people feel a little self-deceiving.

In fact, he really wants to fight chicken blood, why not just say that they will solve the Eagles within 6 games.

Of course, most of the fans understand the result of not being able to pretend.

This is the case in basketball and even competitive games. If you pretend to be aggressive, you are the uncle.
Just two hours after Dafan’s declaration, the Magic’s official website announced a piece of news that made Magic fans even more desperate. The team’s main point guard, Ralph Alston, sprained his ankle during training and will miss at least the G3 game .

As soon as this news came out, the media and fans immediately felt that the magic team was in danger!
Originally, the strength was not dominant, and then the main point guard was injured, how can this game be played?
Not long after getting off the plane, the eagle generals also got the news at the first time.

Lunar Eclipse smiled: "That means we will end this round of the series soon?"

Jon Jonson shook his head and said, "Don't be careless, I don't think the game is that simple. Kraft, do you remember who the Magic's backup point guard is?"

Ruan Erniu said: "Do you think I will forget? Anthony and Tyronn were also our teammates last season."

Yes, maybe the audience doesn't care much, but the players will greet each other.

On the point guard bench of the Magic, it is none other than the No. [-] position of the Eagles last season-Anthony Johnson and Tyronn Lue. They came to the Magic through trades and free market signings. .

In the regular season, they played against the Eagles, but in the past G1 and G2, they did not have much sense of presence.

Anthony Johnson only got a little playing space in garbage time, and didn't cause too much trouble for the Eagles, and Tyronn Lue didn't even get 1 minute of playing time in the first two games.

Mike Woodson also reminded at the right time: "Don't underestimate the opponent. After all, the Magic is one of the teams that beat us in the regular season, and they are among the top four in the Eastern Conference. If we win G3, it means we will win the game. point, which is something they are bound to try to avoid.

By the way, you have to be prepared to fight against the wind. "

"Whistleblowing scale?" Dragic's savvy is not so high. Even in his rookie season, Dragon Ball has already comprehended the unspoken rules of the NBA.

Woodson nodded and said: "It will only be more unfavorable than the scale of the first round of G3. You must be prepared to be whistled continuously and control your emotions."

Ruan Erniu immediately said as the team leader: "In the face of calls that are not good for us, we can still win. This can prove how good our 73 wins, the number one team in history, are. Guys, let me have a look. Rise up and make a big show! HAWKS!"

"HAWKS!"

"HAWKS!"

"HAWKS!"

……

Orlando Amway Arena, the Magic will announce their starting lineup half an hour before the home game:

C Dwight Howard

PF Rashad Lewis

SF Hedo Turkoglu
SG Courtney Lee

PG Anthony Johnson

Sure enough, Alston's injury was not a smoke bomb. They really had to replace veteran Anthony Johnson. By the way, they also put JJ Redick, who had excellent offense in the first two games, on the bench. The intention was obvious, that is, to increase defensive strength.

"Dwight, are you ready to be swept away?" Before the lunar eclipse, he approached Huohua cheaply. After all, he was a good friend who grew up in Atlanta. If someone else came to joke with Warcraft, it might have triggered a long time ago. Conflicted.

"Do your own thing, J-Smoove, and I'll kick your asses tonight." Sparky pushed his friend away with a smile.

As for the sparks, even if they say harsh words, many times, it will have a comedic effect.

Lunar Eclipse stepped back and continued to provocate shamelessly: "You'd better protect your own chrysanthemum first, Kraft's 'big axe' has long been hungry and thirsty!"

Ruan Erniu who was not far away couldn't wait to beat Yue Eclipse up with such obscene words, this idiot always felt embarrassed when he said the words out of his mouth!
The first quarter of the game officially begins.

Sparks lost to Er Niu in the jump ball for the first time in this round of the series.

囧囧森拿到篮球后直接控球过半场，注册6尺11尺（211CM，裸高应为208CM）的火花直接对注册身高6尺7寸（实为6尺9寸，裸高206CM）的阮二牛，采取了绕前防守。

Ruan Erniu immediately chose to cut down the air, but it was a pity that the sparks of waving his long arms interfered with Jiongsen's judgment, and the ball was not sent out immediately.

囧囧sen held the ball in a high position, and after trying to pass the ball to no avail, he chose to go it alone.

Facing Courtney Lee with a one-step shot inside the three-point line~~
"boom!"

Missed!

Er Niu and Sparks hit the rebound at the same time, the basketball changed direction, and was finally picked up by Turkoglu.

Sure enough, the Magic's defense has changed. It is rare for Sparks to go forward to defend.

Although Huo Hua is out of tune, he is always a proud basketball genius. Being able to show the enemy his weakness is enough to prove the tremendous pressure Ruan Erniu put on the Magic and himself.

Anthony Johnson, the old Hawks player, received a pass from the Turks, took possession of the ball for halftime, and after using Lewis' screen, he reached the three-point line, shot from a 16-foot position, and made a hit!
The former Eagles general was ordered in the face of danger, but he seemed extremely calm, and he didn't mean to save face for his old team at all.

For a league bum like Anthony Johnson, there was never any concept of a home team.Because the team's management has never regarded them as an indispensable part.

The Eagles quickly served the baseline ball and wanted to play a quick counterattack.

The running Salmons was fouled by Courtney Lee just after halftime.

Star Van Gundy on the sidelines nodded. He would rather foul than interrupt the opponent's counterattack rhythm. The Magic's defensive tactics today are quite resolute.

Ruan Erniu missed a straight-arm jumper facing the sparks from a high position. Lewis protected the backboard and passed it to Anthony Johnson.

Johnson controlled the ball across half court and sent the ball to Sparks. Sparks chiseled inside and then passed the ball to Lewis in the bottom corner. Lewis passed the ball to Turkoglu. The Turk broke through with the ball and tore the defense. Then it will be assigned to the unguarded Anthony Johnson.

"brush!"

Johnson was not relentless. The former Eagles player stepped on the three-point line and hit a large two-pointer, continuing to help the team open the score.

On the offensive end of the Hawks, Salmons received Bibby's breakout and also made a three-pointer with no one watching~~
"boom!"

Still missed, but fortunately Er Niu was clever at the basket, grabbed the rebound, and made a tip-up, otherwise the Eagles would still not be able to break through 0 points.

Woodson called a short timeout and a long timeout in the first quarter, but the Hawks' overall offense did not improve much.

The proud offensive and defensive transition was interrupted by a foul by the Magic. Fortunately, only Anthony Johnson was more active on the offensive end of the Magic, otherwise the score would have been pulled away.

Ruan Erniu scored 6 points and 7 rebounds in a single quarter, which is already the highest scoring player of the Hawks team in a single quarter.

At 18:22, the Magic turned into the Pistons tonight, and they did achieve the ultimate on the defensive end.

The referee's whistle-blowing scale is fairly normal, but the defending champion is indeed facing a disadvantageous situation.
