Chapter 453 The first round of the playoffs G3
You must know that two players with 3-point ability block and cut before each other, which is quite difficult to defend. Even if the defense is changed, the communication is a little slower, and the opponent can get a chance.
The Magic attacked immediately, changing the somewhat sluggish offensive rhythm of the first two games.Of course, whether this kind of physical fitness can last until the end of the game is a problem, but they can't control that much now.
Ryan Anderson didn't care about the defense when he received the ball, and made a decisive shot-missed, but the long rebound popped up and was caught by Richardson, who also made a 3-pointer-hit!
The Magic hit a 3-pointer at the beginning, which lifted the spirits of the fans.For the shooter team, if they can find the touch early, it is definitely a good signal.
Calderon dribbled the ball and handed it to Ying Xiong at the top of the arc.
Ying Xiong faced Turkoglu with the ball and took a step forward, and the opponent's flanking attack arrived immediately.He decisively passed the ball to DeRozan, who was open in the corner, and the latter missed a 3-pointer...
The Magic counterattacked, and Nelson followed up with Richardson. The latter immediately started to speed up, as if reappearing at his peak, carrying DeRozan to the basket, the whistle blew, and scored!
Richardson beat his chest and roared, venting his anger. The fans cheered along with him, and the atmosphere on the scene was instantly ignited.
Richardson walked to the free throw line and made a solid free throw.
6:0!The Magic got off to a perfect start!
Coach Casey on the sidelines was a little anxious. He had imagined this situation, but he didn't expect that the opponent would be so strong at home.
The Raptors didn't ask for a timeout!
Calderon dribbled the ball across half court, faced Nelson's defense, and dribbled with his back.
The defensive strength of the Magic's players is not at the same level as the previous two games. These veterans seem to have found the fountain of youth and instantly look younger by several years.
Calderon was inadvertently stabbed by Nelson, and the ball rolled to the frontcourt.
Nelson started first, seized the position, and got the ball.He rushed forward without stopping, because there was no one in the frontcourt.
Calderon chased back desperately, trying to make up for it.
Nelson's speed is extremely fast, but it's not something Calderon can catch up to. Seeing that the distance between the two is getting wider and wider.
At this moment, a figure beside Calderon surpassed him. When he looked up, most of the uneasiness in his heart disappeared. "If he catches up, he should be fine!"
The owner of the figure is naturally Ying Xiong.He accelerates on the other side of the court, chasing.
Naturally, Nelson realized that someone was chasing him. He was alert and didn't think it was Calderon, because the other party couldn't catch up with him.
Nelson adjusted his footsteps and prepared for a layup. He took off with his left foot, and suddenly retracted at the moment of layup with his right hand, and then pulled the bar for a layup with his left hand.
Ying Xiong had been waiting for him in the air early on. He didn't violate the opponent's body, but relied on his jumping height and ability to stay in the air to wait for him in the air.
"Tianluodiwang!" All the overseas Chinese who watched Yingxiong's game on the spot could think of this word.
Nelson's ball was directly taken away by Ying Xiong from the air. After landing on the ground, Ying Xiong quickly distributed the ball to Calderon, and then accelerated directly in the backcourt.
——In this way, 5 against 4 in the frontcourt!
Calderon points to Ying Xiong, who accelerates to the frontcourt. After receiving the ball, Ying Xiong accelerates directly in the middle.Turkoglu came to help defend and was easily passed by him with a change of direction.
Ying Xiong rushed to the vicinity of the penalty area, faced the big baby, and took off with all his strength. Facing the opponent, his body was completely flying in the air, his right hand was like a drawn bow, ready to go.
The big baby was also unambiguous, and greeted him viciously.
"Boom—" The two bodies collided, and Ying Xiong jumped higher, dunking the ball into the basket first!But then, because his weight was far less than that of the opponent, he was knocked out of the bottom line by the opponent.
"Beep beep—" the referee's whistle also sounded.
Ying Xiong stabilized his body when he fell, stepped on the floor to slow down the speed of his fall, and then fell on the photographer at the bottom line.
The referee immediately stopped the game.
The Raptors' field players immediately surrounded them, and the team doctor also hurried over.
Ying Xiong quickly got up from the ground, and friendly asked the bottom line photographers and reporters if they were okay.
Ying Xiong seemed to be fine, Coach Casey let out a sigh of relief.You must know that Ying Xiong is not only the core of this team, but also the spiritual pillar of the team. If he falls down, even if he is lucky enough to pass the first round, he will not be able to go further.
Ying Xiong signaled to the referee that he was fine and could make free throws by himself.
And here, Big Baby was arguing with the referee that he didn't foul, was warned by the referee, and almost got into a fight with James Johnson.
Yingxiong's chasing blocks and risky dunks not only scored 2 points, broke the scoring shortage, but also caused a foul by the big baby, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.
Ying Xiong hit the ball steadily! At 6:3, the Raptors finally scored, and it was 3 points all at once.
Ying Xiong's scoring was a long drought for the Raptors, as if sending charcoal in the middle of a snowstorm, and gradually stabilized their emotions.
Coach Casey is very satisfied with Yingxiong's performance. Yingxiong is such a player. He always knows what he should do and what the team needs. He rarely loses control.
The two sides began to enter the stage of confrontation.In this game, the overall referee scale is a bit tight, and the whistle on the field is relatively dense.This is naturally beneficial to the Magic, which has a large number of pitchers, because in this way, the Raptors' defense does not dare to be too strong, otherwise it is easy to foul.
What a pitcher needs most is space and freedom. If he is kept close to others, it will be difficult for him to use it even if he has excellent shooting skills.
Ying Xiong was still double-teamed, but his performance was very stable. He would play on his own when he was in transition. The position created opportunities for his teammates, and he did not force 1 to 2.He also didn't open the hidden attributes, and didn't use the 5th formula.In his view, the game is not yet at that point.
The Raptors have not been able to catch up with the score. After the first quarter, the Magic at home led the opponent by 26 points at 22:4.
In the competition between the second teams of the two sides in this game, the second team of the Magic took advantage of the home court and played the best performance since the series.Their performance overwhelmed the second team of the Raptors, which was stronger than themselves, and further widened the point difference.
Ying Xiong returned to the court almost 2 minutes earlier than the previous two games. At this time, the point difference has reached 8 points.Coach Casey grasped the timing very well, and did not replace him when the point difference reached double digits. The single-digit point difference and the double-digit point difference feel completely different.
After Ying Xiong came on the court, he made adjustments on the offensive end. He no longer singled out the ball at the top of the arc, but used empty-handed moves and moves without the ball to seek offensive opportunities.
