Center first

Chapter 359
Being defeated by the opponent at home in a way, Orlando experienced more of a bitter taste that night. In the press conference after the game, the Magic just threw out a response to the scene. Characters to support, all their players and coaching staff chose to evade, because such a failure is a shame for them.

Losing such an important game on their own territory, or in such a way, there may not be any Orlando Magic players who can stand up and explain why, because even they themselves don't know what the damn game is. What's the matter, they have been pinned down by their opponents from the very beginning.

Without the attacking style that they are good at, without tacit cooperation, and even the basic cover has to be tried hard to find, this kind of game is so chaotic that people are at a loss. They spent the last few minutes booed by the fans, and if they had the choice, they would have never played such a game.

The Jedi counterattack in the second half did not bring any hope to Orlando. It was more like the last madness of despair, but the opponents were more accustomed to this madness than they were. Their last fight failed. In this game, they can only lower their high heads and show surrender to their opponents.

The total score of 3:2 may still give a glimmer of hope to those who are behind. It is just that the opponent is one game ahead. This is not the kind of irreversible gap. Those media reporters in Orlando are still looking for their last glimmer of hope Preaching, they hope that those big men wearing blue uniforms can perform miracles again, re-enacting a Jedi counterattack against the Celtics.

They have won the defending champions, they still have a chance, they have performed miracles, so Orlando can still maintain their fantasy, but now they seem to know that it may be just a fantasy, and it will not really become a reality. The five-game defeat seems to have awakened the dreams of many people. Now Orlando may not have the ability to create miracles again, but those reporters have not given up. They are still predicting the future for the Orlando Magic. .

"We will stage the Orlando reversal miracle again!" Such headlines filled Orlando's newspaper pages, but they could not arouse the interest of any fans. They all witnessed how their team was defeated by their opponents. I have begun to wonder if my team is the Celtics that were killed by luck.

Those reporters, they seem to have overlooked a lot of things. They were the challengers against the Celtics, and the Celtics were the most stressed. They were the defending champions, and they wanted to reach the finals again To write their own legend in the finals, but Orlando is the barefoot barbarian, they are not afraid of the opponent's sophistication, they will use their own momentum to get the opponent.

Howard's strong body is the fuse of their counterattack. They have the courage and belief of the Jedi to counterattack, and they have not placed themselves high from the beginning. They are challengers. Compared with their opponents, they are very low key.This is also one of the prerequisites for their reversal.

But now everything has been reversed. The challenger has become the Miami Heat, and the Orlando Magic has the upper hand. From the beginning of the game, some people have already started to cheer for them. Prediction, these Orlando people may use four games to end the Miami Heat group of guys.

It's just that they are all disappointed now, the game has been played five times, and the leader is the team they thought would be swept out, while the Orlando Magic, which they were unanimously optimistic about, fell into an unprecedented panic , was bloodbathed by the opponent with a 20-point gap in the match point game. Maybe this is a shame for Orlando as a whole.

You must know that their opponents only have 8 players who can play the game, and they can't even find a few decent substitutes. Stealing the decisive key of the game, the group of lunatics from Miami reminded everyone in such a brutal way that they have never fallen, no matter how many of them there are, they will use their limited strength to win The final victory of the game.

The most important thing is that Van Gundy's on-the-spot command ability is now the most criticized link. Compared with Pat Riley's old treacherous and slippery people, he is like a young girl who has no experience in the world. Pat Riley is definitely the kind of prostitute who can push good women into the entertainment, and he is also the kind of ruthless character who specializes in forcing good women into prostitution, but Zhang is a bit ugly.

However, Pat Riley's magical stroke is not a vegetarian. His changes, his pertinence, and his madness, these prerequisites for Miami to lead may only be thought of by an old goblin like him. The method, the guy who created the "SHOW TIME" moment, is so good at calculating.

He figured out the poor guy who was expelled from Miami by him, and he calculated almost every step of his changes. In the entire five games, he used this rhythm change and personnel combination to bring the Orlando Magic team He caused huge trouble, and the maximum power that 8 people could display was reflected in his hands. He never let the opponent have even a second of ease.

"That's a cunning fox, his eyes reveal a light that is ready to calculate others at any time, that is an evil guy, he always includes his opponents in his calculations, every step of the arrangement seems to be It’s putting the other party to death.” This is how others judge Pat Riley, and he uses this performance to interpret such a sentence.

He is a cunning bastard, he can use all kinds of wisdom or despicable means to seek benefits for himself, and he does exactly that, this evil guy will always be in the magic team just after a sigh of relief , and then punched the opponent's nose again, and then watched the opponent pass out from the suffocation. At this time, there will be a smile on the corner of his mouth, but that smile is a bit cruel.

The confrontation between coaches is all about wisdom and experience. Pat Riley undoubtedly stood in front of Van Gundy with a victorious posture. He didn't use too many tactical arrangements to add something to such a game. He just needs to let his team members exert their maximum energy, such as Lin Yi.

If the confrontation between the head coaches is intellectual, then the face-to-face deadlock is done by those players, especially the core of their tactics, Howard, who the Magic relies heavily on, and Lin Yi, the absolute axis of Miami. The matchup between the two big men made this round of the pinnacle battle.

It's just that this process was much lighter than the fierce confrontation expected. Except for the physical confrontation between Lin Yi and Howard that reached an extreme in the first game, the rest of the game almost became a stage for display. This is a stage where people know what is the victory of technology over power, and the protagonist is Lin Yi.

He cleverly took the key to victory from a monster with his gorgeous footsteps and various offensive methods, and he has never been weak in the matchup. The guy who looks a little thin is very tough. His The somewhat thin body almost carried Howard's every attack, without any tricks, it was a very direct confrontation, real hand-to-hand combat, such a tragic physical confrontation, so that everyone who had seen it would gasp.

There are only a handful of center forwards in this league who dare to have such a direct dialogue with Howard, not to mention those who can take advantage of it. Except for Yao and O'Neal, there are not many people who can play in the league. Warcraft has gained a little advantage, but this guy Lin Yi has once again proved one point with his performance, he will never lose to his opponent in the confrontation with Warcraft.

Howard, who once caused great trouble to the Celtics, became the biggest fatal injury to the entire team when he faced Lin Yi face to face. It cannot be denied that he has grown a lot, and his skills are rough to a certain extent. The guy, in the past six months or so, has begun to evolve his small hook shooting skills to a terrifying level. The big man who often makes his shots less than 30% can now keep his shooting percentage to 4. However, when facing Lin Yi, such progress was once again reduced to the point where it could be ignored.

Turning around and hitting the basket, swaying under the basket, mid-range shooting, low-handed layup, and hitting the basket, Lin Yi almost used all his offensive skills in the five games. Howard demonstrates how to attack, as if a teacher is teaching a student, but this method is a bit cruel, and it is at the cost of the opponent's failure.

Howard tried to use various ways to fight against Lin, but that smart guy never gave him any chance, he always used the most reasonable way to deal with the confrontation between the two In terms of strength and skill, there was no suspense that that guy won. Apart from being unwilling, Howard had no other good way to win the opponent. He didn't take any advantage in this battle between the giants.

Maybe you can say that the little guy is just a first-year rookie, but this rookie has written miracles one after another in this playoffs, will he become great?No one can predict, but at least for now, he is enough to deserve any praise. In the eyes of Orlando, this guy is simply an insurmountable barrier. Those big hands are the source of their nightmares. Without that With the existence of guys, they will completely believe that their team can win the game very easily.

But because of the existence of that guy, they failed, and the defeat was very miserable. They were almost pushed to the floor by their opponents and beaten, without any face left. The dream of Orlando people is to be used by that guy Torn up, everyone is cursing, why didn't that devil-like guy go to hell, everything would be easier without him.

Maybe these gaps between the two teams have been seen by people, but all Orlando people are looking forward to a miracle, they are not willing to fail like this, after all, they have already left the biggest stage It's been too long, they've wanted to get back there and put on a show, and after taking out the defending champions, they've got the best chance they can, and they want to keep the madness going.

But the expectations of Orlando people only lasted for two days. The Miami people who returned to their home court did not give them a chance to reverse again. 100:85, the Miami people had already got a ticket to enter the finals, and killed the defending champion The current Orlando Magic can only watch a crippled team step over their body. They lost two key battles in a shameful way!

The process of the game was extremely straightforward. The Miami Heat have been relying on their own double-center tactics since the start of the game to always control everything under the basket. They also failed to reverse their height, and they lost their most reliable barrier.

However, they can be relieved that they did not fall into absolute passivity after two quarters like the previous game. The 60% shooting rate allowed them to last until the last moment. In the first three quarters, they were only behind their opponents Four points, but a wave of 15:2 attacks led by Lin Yi at the beginning of the fourth quarter completely knocked them down, and the defense line that had lasted for more than 30 minutes collapsed at this moment.

Congratulated for the deadly score in the first three quarters?What a sad topic. When the team with the advantage of personnel wants to be grateful for being able to bite the opponent and not be led by a big score, what they can have left may be a meaningless resistance. They are only for themselves Their faces are desperately resisting, not for victory, and they have lost the courage to win.

Howard may be the fiercest person on the court. He is also the last charge who can still maintain a brave attack in the siege of two opponents for the first time. He can already be proud of achieving such a result under the joint defense of Yi and Magloire, not to mention that he also scored ten rebounds and two blocks.

It's just that this kind of ferocity came too late, and the rest of the magic team had lost the confidence to continue fighting their opponents. All the efforts Howard made seemed so pale and feeble, like a beast on the verge of extinction As if making the last resistance, his hunched muscles were bursting with the last bit of strength, but the only thing he could save was his own dignity.

Lost, the ending is doomed, any excuses seem so weak, Van Gundy took all the responsibilities on himself after the game, but no one blamed him, because there is no use for any blame, the Magic The team's 09 season is over, and their championship dream has been shattered.

What they can do now is to pack their bags, or go on a trip, or plan for their next season, or consider changing the environment. Their last bit of responsibility in this long season has been exercised, It's all over, they failed, in a shameful way, but soon forgotten, don't mind it, the NBA world is always quick to throw losers in the corner, and then Forget them as quickly as possible.

Maybe some of the members of the Magic team will feel unwilling, but more people will forget everything that happened that night after a night of sleep, but that Howard, who is stern and silent, may not be so easy Forget about his own failure, at least in the contest for the center position, he may have been entangled with Lin Yi who just defeated him for a long time, maybe the struggle between them is just beginning, maybe his vacation will be very busy, Because if he wants to surpass that perverted guy, there are too many things to do.

20 points, 15 rebounds and 8 assists, this is the gift that Lin Yi gave to Orlando in the sixth game. With the team coming to the away game, more than 2000 Orlando fans looked at the bright red score on the scoreboard. Can helplessly tear off the tickets in their hands, their dreams have been scattered in the air like the torn tickets.

Come next year, maybe we can still look forward to the next season, Orlando reporters may be able to comfort themselves in this way, but everyone knows that after the end of this season, their team will change, maybe someone will leave, maybe someone will come, No one can predict the next season, maybe they will have a long wait, maybe it will be another decade when they have a chance to hit the finals next time.

Miami people are not in the mood to worry about their future for the Magic, because this group of crazy guys has already started cheering in the venue, they won, they won when everyone was not optimistic about themselves, let the future To hell with the game, now they are the Eastern Conference champions, they deserve to be proud of such a game, they deserve to cheer for such a victory.

Lin Yi was surrounded by a group of crazy fans, and his head had already been poured with champagne, but this feeling was a novel experience for him, yes, we won, Miami Heat The team got the tickets to the finals, let's celebrate wildly! ! !

finals?Come on, no matter who the damn opponent is, we have created many miracles, maybe we can continue to create even greater miracles! ! !Can you guarantee we won't?I don't think you have the guts to bet with these lunatics. . .

(Martin’s performance in the first game of the Rockets can only be said to be mediocre. He made 16 of 3 shots. Regardless of the shooting percentage, the number of shots alone made the Rockets’ distribution of the ball a little problematic. 4 people shot 10 times. Next time, if YAO comes back in the future, there may be five people. It seems that Xiaobu has a heavy burden... But Martin's skills are still good, at least relatively comprehensive... McGrady also staged his first in New York today. In the first battle, fortunately, the score of 26 points and 5 assists is not bad, but the New Yorkers lost, which is a bit regrettable...)
