Learning in the NBA can make you a god

Chapter 502 32 Points Massacre Magic
The first half of the game is over soon.

43:62 The Lakers led by 19 points, and the Magic were completely suppressed.

In the first half of the Magic, it can be said that they played worse offensively and defensively this season.

Inside the visiting locker room!

"Hey! Man, wake up, we are behind now, but it doesn't mean we don't have a chance. In the regular season, we beat them, we are a good team, we" Van Gundy roared, clapping his hands and trying to make the players stay Sobriety and survival.

At this time, not only Howard had a sluggish face, but also other teammates.Howard has never been on the court. He has been beaten like this, and he is simply beaten. Now he has self-doubt.In my mind, I kept echoing the words of Kobe and Li Tian just now, and I began to deeply doubt whether I was really worthy of DPOY.

Van Gundy looked at Howard in such a state, and couldn't help feeling worried.

Howard is an optimist, but it doesn't mean he has no temper at all. He has rarely suffered such a big blow.His most important task now is how to regain the confidence he lost in the first half.

"Believe in yourself, what we have to do is to strengthen our defense, and everyone has to run. Lewis, you go around to defend Lee, don't give him an easy chance to catch the ball, once you encounter a pick-and-roll, you must be the first time Squeeze through!"

"Boys, listen! You are the best team in the East. In my eyes, you are the best players. Strengthen the defense against Lee, and Cartney Lee can improve your defensive oppression, which can give Kobe some breakthroughs." Opportunity, don't let him hand the ball to Lee."

"Others run up and let them pay a huge price for every attack!"

"Howard!" Van Gundy hugged Howard's shoulders and shouted.

In his heart, this game and the next time, all they have to do is how to get Howard back to his confidence and get back Howard from the previous round of the series.

Howard lost confidence because Li Tian took advantage of his proud strength and the basket. At these two points, several attacks were directly crushed.

He didn't hear a word of Van Gundy's words just now, and he didn't realize until he felt someone hug his shoulders that he had lost his mind just now.

He patted his head to let himself recover, patted the sentence in his mind, and looked up at the head coach.

"Howard, don't lose your confidence because of one or two rounds of defense. Didn't you find that after Lee singled you twice, he gave the ball to Kobe? This shows that his physical fitness and strength , is not enough to support him to keep attacking you, he is just a paper tiger, don't worry at all, as long as you strengthen your strength, he will be easily crushed by you!"

Hearing Van Gundy's words, Howard's eyes suddenly lit up.It has to be said that Van Gundy's words reminded him that within a short period of time, he figured everything out.

"Coach, don't worry, my condition has returned!" Shen Sheng said.

"OK! Very good, our overlord of the penalty area has been resurrected with full blood!" Van Gundy said with a smile.

But all teammates have discovered that even if they have opened their hearts, Howard still has some problems in his state, but this is already the best result.

It is obviously unrealistic to change the decadent state of the first half with just a few words of your own.

Van Gundy began to arrange new tactics to deal with the second half of the game. The previous tactics were no longer suitable for the current Magic, and Howard was no longer the strongest point they relied on.The next offense will use Lewis and Turkoglu as the offensive arrows, and the pressure on Lewis will increase again.

"Dude, your offense is really great!" Fisher was a little shocked that Li Tian was able to single-handedly play Howard in the paint, back-up, rely on hitting, and back-up Howard.

"Haha, basics, basics, don't worship brother!" He looked like he was the second child, and he was the third child.

Phil didn't have too high demands on the players. After all, he led so much at halftime, and it was unintentional to say more.

At the beginning of the second half, even though Howard came to his senses, he did not improve the team's offense and defense.Once the team loses their desire to survive, no matter what they do, they cannot reverse their decline in a short period of time.

"Beep!" The referee whistled, and Howard elbowed Bynum.

"Beep!" The referee blew his whistle again, and Howard hit someone with the ball!
In a very short period of time, two fouls were whistled.

The confidence he had just regained was killed by the referee himself.

"Why, didn't you see that Howard didn't touch Bynum at all?" Van Gundy was on the sidelines, spitting wildly at the referee!
Seeing Howard's confidence had just returned, Van Gundy still had some expectations, whether the team had a chance to complete a big reversal.However, after these two fouls, he was not calm. If the referee cannot be put under some pressure and the team wants to reverse, then it is really naive and innocent.

"Beep!" Hearing Van Gundy's complaint, the referee blew his whistle again and made a gesture of technical foul.

"God!" Van Gundy squatted on the sidelines with his head in his hands.

"Well, it seems that in this game, the Magic will have no chance at all." Barkley sighed. After all, the game was not exciting enough, and the attraction to fans would definitely decline like a cliff.

"The inside defensive gate was called for two consecutive fouls, and Van Gundy was also called for a technical foul. The Magic's game is over!" Smith had to admit that the Magic's first game had no chance.

After being whistled for two fouls in a row, Howard received 5 fouls and had to end the game early.

The Magic's interior defensive gates left the field early at this time, and the team's defensive system collapsed instantly. Gortat, who came off the bench, could not stop the impact of Bynum and Gasol on the interior.Not to mention Li Tian and Kobe, two top breakthrough players in the league.

Howard was replaced, the Lakers' defensive strength remained unchanged at all, and they played another wave of attacks. At the end of the third quarter, the team widened the point difference to 35 points. With a score of 15:31 in a single quarter, the Magic only scored 15 points in a single quarter, and the score dropped again.

The Magic, which had lost confidence, never made an appearance at all in the fourth quarter.

"Beep!" More than ten minutes later, the game ended.

At 75:102, the Lakers scored 32 points and beat the Magic in the first game of the finals. The Lakers almost broke the record for the largest point difference in the finals.

The 32-point victory gave the Lakers the first place in the finals.

Li Tian scored a game-high 28 points, Kobe Bryant 26 points, and other players' statistics are also very good.In contrast to the Magic, Howard, the team's biggest star, went 6-for-1 in the sports game. He only scored 9 points in this game and failed to reach double figures.

"The Lakers this season are really too strong. If it weren't for Lee's sudden injury in the last round of the series, they would have a chance to break the record of 15 wins and 1 loss in the OK dynasty. But they still have hope and finish 16. A record win and one loss!" Barkley said.

After the game, many media and fans began to comment on the game and the performance of the players of each team.

"An easy win. The Magic have lost themselves throughout the game. They thought their opponent was the Cavaliers. Wake up quickly. Now their opponent is the Lakers!
The most important thing is Howard, his performance today is not worthy of DPOY at all! "Ms. Sun also began to shout about magic.

Teacher Su also couldn't bear it. If the fight continues like this, the finals will not be as good as the East and West finals. The referee will definitely come out and do something.

The comments also didn't leave any sympathy, pointing directly at the Magic's problems, once again pricking Howard's heart.During the Eastern Conference Finals, the reason why Howard was able to act recklessly at the basket was because the Cavaliers' inside line was slow, old, and soft, but the Lakers were different. They had an unrivaled twin tower (against Yao Ming except).

In fact, only James rushed to the basket crazily, and Lewis and Turkoglu took turns defending. Although he could only slightly reduce his breakthrough speed, it gave Howard enough defensive opportunities inside.

The game had just ended, and the NBA celebrities, stars and media people who watched the game criticized Howard one after another.

The most is still, pointing directly to the issue of Howard DPOY issued by the league, more and more people question it.

The Magic shot all the way, but they didn't make it at all. Howard was restricted, and it was very difficult for Turkoglu to connect the ball.

In the press conference after the game, the two teams did not make too many comments on the game.After all, in this game, the Magic didn't play themselves at all.

The most interesting thing is Phil's answer to the media, "We won G1 of the finals with difficulty. I believe that the Magic will definitely play better in the next game. They are an excellent team. They"

A series of answers all spoke highly of the Magic, and the next Lakers will treat each game more cautiously.

Inside the home locker room!

"Guys, although we won G1 with a big score in the first game, we must not take it lightly. The victory of this game is the result of the hard work of all of us. The most important reason for us to win the game , because the Magic still play against us the same way they play against teams in the East."

"They don't know us well, which gives us an advantage. Lee's strong singles made Howard lose confidence. In the second half, the whistle was blown continuously, and Howard went off the field early. In the next game, they will know us better. I believe the same is true for the league. They I don't want to see this kind of finals, and the next step is the beginning of the real challenge!" Kobe started a long speech in the locker room.

In the past, Kobe would never say these words. After two seasons, he won the championship and the Olympic championship last season, which made him grow a lot, become more mature, and know how to be the boss of the team. Do something.

"Guys, earnestly win every game, and the championship will still belong to us!" Li Tian stood up at the most appropriate time.

"Defend the title! Defend the title! Defend the title!" There were bursts of cheers from the team's locker room.

Phil, who was at the door of the locker room, was already happy. He finally waited for this day, the day when Kobe became the real boss of the team.

Of course, the media is more optimistic about the Lakers. The question they started to discuss is no longer which team will win the championship, but whether the Lakers will sweep the Magic 4:1 or 4:0.

This is a question worth pondering.
