Chapter 254 Conflict
David West stands near a 45-degree angle on the left side of the penalty area of the Orlando Magic, with his back leaning on "Big Baby" Glenn Davis reaching for the ball, and Darren West, who is slowly controlling the ball from outside the three-point line Collison hesitated for a moment, but finally passed the ball.David West looks to single Glenn Davis with the ball in his back.
"You don't want to shoot under my defense!" Glen Davis behind David West whispered to David West.
David West sneered, "What a kid who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth!" David West thought in his heart, and began to single-play Glenn Davis with the ball.Glenn Davis put his body against David West, trying to keep David West out of the box.However, David West suddenly turned around, wiped Glenn Davis, and came to the basket of the Orlando Magic.
"Damn!" Glenn Davis cursed under his breath, and hurried to block David West's shooting space.Facing the defense of Glenn Davis, David West raised his hand to shoot. The ball hit the backboard with a "boom", but it didn't rebound and drilled into the basket.
"See?" Glenn Davis said to David West with a grin. "There's no way you're going to score under my guard!"
However, at this moment, David West suddenly jumped high and grabbed an offensive rebound over the head of Glenn Davis.Immediately afterwards, David West made another shot directly in the air without waiting for himself to fall back to the floor.This time, David West's shot hit the board and also caused a defensive foul by Ryan Anderson who was defending.Ryan Anderson shook his head helplessly, and looked helplessly at his inside partner Glenn Davis.
"Glenn, why didn't you compete with David West for rebounds just now, but watched David West shoot?" Hedo Turkoglu asked Glenn David like this staw.
Glenn Davis couldn't think of an answer to Hedo Turkoglu, scratched his head helplessly, and stood on the edge of the penalty area to watch David West make a free throw.David West's free throw bounced a few times on the neck of the basket, and finally fell into the net bag. David West successfully hit a three-pointer!
Glenn Davis snorted coldly, turned around and began to participate in the team's offense.
As in the previous two games, the Orlando Magic continued to concentrate the ball in the hands of Glenn Davis on offense.However, Glenn Davis just started dribbling on David West, and Danny Granger immediately rushed up to steal the ball from Glenn Davis.Glenn Davis almost lost the ball in a panic. Seeing that Danny Granger was about to steal the ball from Glenn Davis, Glenn Davis quickly controlled the ball and turned around. Throw the ball towards the basket.
"This guy only sees the basket now, and he doesn't pass the ball at all," said Xu Nuo, who was sitting on the Indiana Pacers' bench beside the court.
"Under the double-team defense of David and Danny, I still choose to turn around and shoot. I am very confident in my shooting touch!" said OJ Mayo, who was sitting next to Xu Nuo.
But Glenn Davis's shot was just a forced shot against a double-team defense. It was not reliable at all. The ball hit the edge of the rim and then slowly rolled down.David West immediately jumped high and put the backboard in his arms.
"Go grab the rebounds! How can we win without the guarantee of rebounds!" Seeing his team lose rebounds in a row, coach Stan Van Gundy, head coach of the Orlando Magic, was about to get angry. He stood on the sidelines and pointed at himself. The disciples shouted loudly.
In fact, the players of the Orlando Magic know that coach Stan Van Gundy's anger is mainly directed at "big baby" Glenn Davis, because it is precisely because of Glenn Davis' lax marking that the Let the opponent grab rebounds in a row.However, Glenn Davis himself didn't seem to realize that coach Stan Van Gundy was dissatisfied with him, and stood near the center line nonchalantly, watching the Indiana Pacers launch a quick counterattack.
"Defense, go back and defend!" Coach Stan Van Gundy yelled at Glenn Davis, pointing to Darren Collison dribbling toward the Orlando Magic basket.However, Glenn Davis remained unmoved and did not return to his team's basket to defend. Coach Stan Van Gundy stood on the sidelines, looking angry.
Coach Stan Van Gundy called a timeout after Darren Collison scored a layup off the dribble.And when Glenn Davis returned to the Orlando Magic bench, coach Stan Van Gundy started with a rant.
"Why didn't you retreat just now?" Coach Stan Van Gundy looked at Glen Davis angrily, and asked angrily, "You know that Darren Collison may score a layup, and you Why stand there instead of guarding Darren Collison?"
The rest of the Orlando Magic couldn't help but secretly sweat for Glenn Davis when they heard Coach Stan Van Gundy's words.At the same time, there were whispers that Glenn Davis shouldn't have disobeyed coach Stan Van Gundy's orders.
"I'm not defenseless!" Glenn Davis said. "When Darren Collison rushed to the basket for the first time, it was my block that blocked his offense."
"But this time you didn't show the same defensive enthusiasm as just now!" Coach Stan Van Gundy said in a cold tone.
"Because Darren Collison is not in charge of my defense!" Glenn Davis did not show any weakness, openly contradicting coach Stan Van Gundy in front of other Orlando Magic players, "My opponent is David West, not Darren Collison, Jameel is guarding Darren Collison!"
Jameer Nelson held the cup in his hand and looked up at Glenn Davis.
Coach Stan Van Gundy wanted to say something more, but then he thought, this is his home court, and he can't expose the contradictions in the team in front of the home team fans.So coach Stan Van Gundy stomped his feet, picked up the tactical board and began to lay out plays.The rest of the Orlando Magic players were secretly relieved to see that the conflict had not continued to escalate.
However, all of this was clearly seen by the various news media in the media booth and Otis Smith, the chairman of the Magic's basketball affairs department sitting in the box.
When the game resumed, "Big Baby" Glenn Davis did not appear on the court, and his position was replaced by backup forward Earl Clark.Glenn Davis sat on the bench, covered his round head with a towel, and watched the game on the court blankly.
Without Glenn Davis, the Indiana Pacers' interior defensive pressure suddenly eased a lot, and David West and Roy Hibbert could focus more on offense.Without Glenn Davis, the Orlando Magic's offense began to rely more on the perimeter, and Jameer Nelson began to occupy the ball for a long time again.However, it was relying on Jameer Nelson's breakthrough layup that the Orlando Magic scored the first point of the game. You must know that the first quarter of the game has lasted for nearly 4 minutes.
"Their offense is really bad!" Xu Nuo put his hand on his chin and said while watching the game on the field.
"But our offense is not very good." OJ Mayo said.
The reason why the Indiana Pacers' offense is not good is mainly because the top scorer Danny Granger has been trapped in the opponent's double-team defense, and there is no way to attack comfortably.If Danny Granger's offense can't play out, the Indiana Pacers' overall offense can't function normally.Coach Larry Brown frowned and began to think of ways to rescue Danny Granger from the double-team defense.
At this moment, Hedo Turkoglu and Jason Richardson once again surrounded Danny Granger in their double-team defense.Danny Granger immediately throws the ball back to DeMar DeRozan and immediately goes to the Orlando Magic basket while Jason Richardson goes to cover DeMar DeRozan rush away.DeMar DeRozan immediately passed the ball back to Danny Granger, but at this moment, Hedo Turkoglu and Ryan Anderson once again formed a formation against Danny Granger. Double-teamed defense.
"It's really perseverance!" Xu Nuo said.
At this moment, coach Larry Brown issued an order to prepare for substitutions.
"Promise, Irvington, you are ready to play!" Coach Larry Brown said.
Xu Nuo and OJ Mayo immediately jumped up, took off their sports jackets, and came to the technical stage to prepare to play.
Since Hedo Turkoglu and Ryan Anderson had completely blocked Danny Granger's passing route, Danny Granger had to take off forcibly.Danny Granger knew very well that as long as he forcibly jumped, the opponent would definitely foul.Sure enough, the referee on duty, Bill Kennedy, blew the whistle in his mouth, and then pointed at Hedo Turkoglu, signaling Hedo Turkoglu to make a defensive foul.
At this moment, the buzzer in the Amway Center Arena rang, promising to appear at the same time as OJ Mayo, replacing Darren Collison and DeMar DeRozan respectively.
"It's finally here!" Coach Stan Van Gundy, head coach of the Orlando Magic, said in his heart as he looked at the promise that had just stepped onto the court.
