In the second half, both sides made personnel changes, with the Spurs' Duncan resting, the Magic's Han Zhe also rotated, and Leonard replacing Harkless.

Duncan's departure had some impact on the Spurs' overall strategy, failing in the first two rounds of offense and defense, allowing the Magic to quickly chase down four points.

However, the Spurs quickly adjusted, and Avlalo was slapped with a big hat by Split when he made a layup, telling the Magic that although Duncan was not there, the basket was not where they wanted to be.

When attacking, the Spurs chose to play both sides, Parker, who was missing Han Zhe's defense, began to be like a fish in water, and after breaking through Aflaro in the bottom corner, he wiped it in, Leonard just stepped forward to make up for the defense, and Parker gave a long pass to Manu on the other side.

Manu faked a shot that missed Walker's jump and then cut into the paint, then went to the basket with an easy basket on Green's block.

I didn't feel much on the court yet, but now sitting on the sidelines and seeing the overall situation at a glance, Han Zhe felt for the first time how terrible the Spurs' running and passing were.

The best thing about Spurs is that they run accurately and play the ball quickly, and the defenders often find that the ball has been passed twice before they can react.

And the Spurs not only play basketball well overall, but their personal strength is definitely not weak, such as Parker and Manu, the outside double arrows, who are a bit unpopular when Han Zhe is resting, especially Parker, who controls the ball well and fast, like a loach back and forth on the court.

"It's not going to go on like this, our defense is like paper paste for the Spurs, and it's hard to tear through the opponent's defense on the offensive end. Han Zhe couldn't help but say.

Vaughn also frowned and said: "It's not that we don't have a chance, Walker still has the ability to beat Manu alone, and now that Duncan is down, Ibaka should be able to catch up as long as he scores more points on the inside." "

Han Zhe raised his eyebrows, not quite agreeing with Vaughn's idea, Walker was indeed able to break through Manu when attacking, but Walker's three-point shot was not stable, so he could only go inside, but the Spurs were very quick to make up for the defense, and it was difficult for Walker to score points.

As for Ibaka, Duncan is easier to play, but the Spurs defense is a whole, and Duncan's departure has a limited impact on the Spurs' defensive ability, for example, now, the game has been played for nearly three minutes, and Ibaka has only scored one goal.

At present, the heroes of the Magic score difference have not been thrown off again are actually Vucevic and Avlalo, without Duncan's ban, Vucevic is more active, and the success rate of single Split is still relatively high, while Afflalo is very fast, and his mid-to-long range shooting is also very reliable, and he can occasionally score points under Parker's defense.

After another two minutes of play, Popovich seemed dissatisfied with the game and walked to the sideline to mumble a few words to Parker before Parker began to convey the arrangement.

Soon Han Zhe understood what Popovich meant

Afflalo just shook Parker's jump shot, and was immediately flown by Green from the side of the defensive cap, Manu picked up the ball and made a long pass, Parker had already rushed through the half, easy and fast.

This is the characteristic of Spurs, don't look at their usual slow play, but they can be fast when they should be fast.

As the game progressed, the Magic score difference was gradually widened, and after Afflaro was restricted, the Magic scoring points were really lacking, but fortunately, Leonard performed well in the face of the old owner, and he actually seized the opportunity to score two goals.

When the difference between the two teams widened to 13 points, Vaughn couldn't help but call a timeout, and he first angrily scolded Ibaka, who he thought was simply sleepwalking, and did not play a set tactical role at all.

Ibaka was also angry, and said angrily: "Duncan is out, but Dio sticks to death, and Split often wraps me up, how can I get points?

Ibaka tossed the water bottle and stepped aside.

"You—" Vaughn was so angry that he was out of breath.

Han Zhe knew that now was not the time for infighting, so he said to Xi Ni: "Ibaka, how do you talk to the coach, but coach, Ibaka did his best, and the other party kept an eye on him too closely." "

"I can't control you anymore, you can fight as much as you want!" Vaughn snorted.

"If you can really come up with good tactics, can we not listen, do you think we don't want to win?" Walker immediately snapped.

Han Zhe hurriedly turned Walker, who was angry and his EQ was still a little low, to the side and motioned for him to shut up, wouldn't it be a joke if the magic quarreled here!

Vaughn's head flared up, threw the tactical board, and completely struck!

It's a good thing it's timeout, otherwise the hell knows what else would have happened.

However, the public is not blind, there are still a lot of reporters who are ready to eavesdrop next to them, and naturally found the magic anomaly, Barkley said: "There seems to be some internal disputes when the magic pauses, which is not a good phenomenon, I hope they can focus on the game, not to mention that the current Magic score is behind, the situation is not optimistic." "

Smith also said: "There have been rumors that the Magic coach and the players are at odds, and this seems to be mostly true. "

O'Neal smiled: "This is not a rumor, don't forget that after the end of the game, Vaughn said in public that there are players who have made tactics privately, and the contradiction has become clear, and if the Magic want to go further, they must deal with the locker room problem as soon as possible." "

TNT's discussion made the hearts of Magic fans on TV even more hanging, and now Magic is already very passive, if there are really internal problems, how will the next game be played?

Do they still have any hope of making a run for the championship?_
