Chapter 454 The Final Reversal
Due to the tight whistle in this game, the Magic did not dare to move too much against off-ball defense.In addition, when they don't have the ball, they are not easy to deal with the pincer attack, because the defensive loopholes are too big and the rotation is more difficult.
Ying Xiong ran out of opportunities by covering without the ball, and Calderon's ball came in time.After he received the ball, he didn't stop at all, and walked directly to the basket.The Magic's defense suddenly gathered towards him, and he was like a black hole, absorbing a lot of defense on the court.
Ying Xiong gave the ball to DeRozan just right, and the latter made a mid-range hit after receiving the ball!DeRozan also learned to behave, knowing that he was inaccurate for 3-pointers, and started shooting mid-range shots, which made it more difficult for opponents to defend him.
DeRozan's mid-range is still very stable, hitting the ball steadily!
With a score difference of 6 points, Ying Xiong posed a great threat to the Magic's defense as soon as he played!
Big Van Gundy frowned slightly, the opponent's response made him feel tricky.Pinching the ball holder is what many teams are doing. If you let go of individual players and the rotation is fast enough, it will not cause too much damage to the defense. But without the ball, this is...
The Magic attacked, and Nelson's sudden point was intercepted by DeRozan and passed to Ying Xiong for a counterattack.
Seeing it, Turkoglu quickly hugged Ying Xiong's arm while he was still able to foul.
DeRozan sent the ball out of bounds and hit the top of the arc.
The Magic immediately came up with a double attack.After Ying Xiong gave it to Calderon, he immediately moved diagonally to the left.
With two transfers of the ball, the ball came to Ying Xiong.
Ying Xiong catches the ball and moves laterally, stepping back and making a jumper—hit!
The point difference is 4 points!Da Fan quickly asked for a timeout!
This is one of the things that the Magic are most afraid of, that is, before they even have time to pinch, the opponent has already completed the attack.
Of course, Da Fan hopes to have a strong defensive player, and don't care about anything else. He will stick to Yingxiong one-on-one, prevent him from catching the ball, and prevent him from easily getting the ball.But the problem is, there is no such person on the team... The Magic's wings are either playmakers (Turkoglu) or shooters (Jason Richardson, Quentin Richardson, JJ Redick ).Even the average level of defense is a little bit reluctant, and it is almost an impossible task for them to stick to the league scorer Wang Yingxiong.
But flanking is a must, otherwise, relying on Turkoglu's individual defensive ability, Ying Xiong passing him is really like crossing the road in the early morning, without any resistance at all.
After returning from the timeout, Ryan Anderson took advantage of the back run and scored 2 points with a layup under the basket.
On the Raptors side, Yingxiong continued to run without the ball, and Calderon delivered the shells.This time, the Magic began to speed up the pace of pinching.Once Yingxiong catches the ball, he will attack immediately.
In this way, the Magic returned to the way of testing the open shots of other Raptors players, and indirectly helped Yingxiong create opportunities for assists.
But fortunately, in the second quarter, the Raptors' generals felt average outside, while the Magic felt good, so they have maintained the lead in the score.
At the end of the half, the Magic at home ended the first half with a 51:47 lead by 4 points.
The Raptors were behind their opponents, but Coach Casey's face was relaxed, and he didn't feel any anxiety.On the contrary, Da Fan's brows were furrowed, and it was impossible to see that they were leading the score instead of the opponent.
In the third quarter of the game, the two sides competed again.The Magic team is desperate to attack Yingxiong, and the other players are trying to cut off his connection with his teammates, but his passing is too fast and accurate, it is difficult to break the passing route, so he can only let DeRozan and others go. .
The game entered the second half, and the physical fitness of both sides declined.The Raptors are better. They are younger than the opponent, have better physical condition, and play less tired.But the Magic is different. On the defensive end, they put in a lot of effort to pinch Ying Xiong.It is very, very tiring to defend less and more, not to mention the big baby who weighs more than 130kg, Nelson who is 183cm, and Richardson who is not at the peak.
It's okay to defend like this for a short time, but after a long time, the physical energy consumption is too large, not only the defensive quality begins to decline, but also the offense is affected. The 3-pointers shot start to hit the front, and the legs start to feel weak.
As the efficiency of the offensive end began to decline, the opponent's rebounds and baskets were speeded up to switch, and the physical problems became more serious.In the first half of the third quarter, the score between the two sides was still deadlocked. In the second half, the Raptors gradually overtook the score.
But fortunately, the game has entered the transition period, and the main fans of the Magic team are finally relieved, and they can get a chance to breathe after the game.
The two sides played in the rotation lineup, and the score has been deadlocked.
In the last quarter, the Raptors' outside players suddenly found their touch and made consecutive hits, opening up the point difference in one fell swoop.The main players of the Magic team called the police physically, and they were no longer able to chase points, and the point difference became wider and wider.
In the end, the Raptors defeated the Magic 107:98 in the away game and won the third game of the series. They currently lead their opponents with a big score of 3:3 and are only one step away from advancing.
The fans at the scene couldn't bear to see such a result, and had already left the field early.When the game ended, Turkoglu and other Magic veterans could only look at the scoreboard helplessly, as if telling themselves: "Our era is over!"
The Raptors were very excited, bumping their chests and hugging as if they had advanced.In fact, a 3:0 lead is basically the same as advancing, and advancing is only a matter of time.
应雄本场比赛出战39分钟，15投8中，其中3分球3投1中，罚球5罚5中，得到22分11个篮板13次助攻4个抢断2个盖帽，全能的表现纵贯全场。这是他季后赛首次拿到三双，13个助攻也创造了他季后赛的助攻新高。
For the Magic, the series is 0:3 behind, and it has reached the edge of the cliff. The next step, regardless of the promotion issue, is to fight for dignity.It is a game to be able to play one more game, otherwise, the next game is likely to be their last game of the season.
This game was a game that made Da Fan completely desperate.Because of this game, basically if the team wants to win, then all the conditions are met: pinch Yingxiong and let him hand over the ball (Yingxiong only scored 22 points, and the number of shots in the game is less than 20 times), empty Delo Zan and others (the total open shooting rate of DeRozan and others is less than 45%), and his outside line is open (the shooting rate in the first three quarters is close to 50%).However, in the end, my physical fitness couldn't hold it anymore.
It's not that Da Fan doesn't know that the team's desperate style of play consumes a lot of energy, and there will be hidden dangers later.He has no choice but to choose one of the two bottles of poison. Ying Xiong and his teammates must let go of one of them. It is an impossible task.
