开局4比0，5分钟后，比分扩大到了14比9。
Bobcats failed to rely on the opening wave of offense and defense to directly defeat the Magic because——
As the game progressed, the Magic struggled to find a way to attack.
Brandon Bass's starter finally worked, but the effect was a little bit different from the preset one.
The rebounding and assisting the sparks to protect the penalty area basically had no effect, but because the offensive end was pulled out to cover the pick-and-roll for the little black beans and the old Carters, Bass found his position.
"A pick-and-roll by Brandon Bass, Aaron Brooks went around and shot the ball directly!"
Swish-!
"The goal has been scored, and the status of Little Heidou is skyrocketing!"
"..."
"It's still Brandon Bass' pick-and-roll, this time it's Vince Carter, he rushed out with a stride, stopped and shot a jumper!"
Swish-!
"Go in again, the Magic's offense is firing!"
Relying on Buzz's pick-and-roll cover, the solo fights of Xiao Heidou and Old Carter, a group of chaotic masters, began to thrive.
This surprised many people. Would adding a pick-and-roll cover solve the problem?
That's right, for chaotic masters like Little Black Bean and Old Carter, a screen and a half body position are enough for them to throw that damned ball in.
"So, why didn't the previous Magic play pick-and-rolls?"
At the end of the regular season, if the Magic also played a pick-and-roll offense, the Bobcats might not even be able to win that game.
But as long as it comes to pick-and-rolls, Stan Van Gundy feels bitter.
Pick-and-roll or something, is it because he doesn't want to play?It is not allowed!
It's not that strength doesn't allow it, it's that sparks don't allow it.
With the Magic's usual lineup configuration, the fourth position usually starts with Mr. Billionaire Lewis, and only the Sparks are left for the Magic to pull out the pick-and-roll to cover.
The problem lies in that the Sparks are not willing to make a pick-and-roll wall for the small outside players of the Magic.
According to the player's own opinion, this pick-and-roll attack is naturally impossible.
Brandon Bass has always been the third pick of the Magic's fourth position. The start of this game, at this moment, has a miraculous effect.
The game continues, the Bobcats' offense.
They continued the simple and efficient Li Ku pick-and-roll, although it looked strange, the effect was surprisingly good.
Curry is an all-around point guard, he can shoot suddenly, control and pass.
As for Li Ke, he can also make sudden shots and control, but his pass is not very good.
But right now, the Bobcats only need him to pass the ball to Curry who is not far away when he encounters a pinch defense. Such a pass is not difficult.
Ku Li scored consecutive pick-and-rolls, conveying a kind of thought-Ku Li is a dick!
On the other side, the Magic's offense.
Li Ke abruptly joined the defense against the sparks, but unexpectedly achieved good results.
Half of the game is over, and the Sparks only rely on making up dunks to score 2 points, which is considered to be in a state of misfire.
Such a successful defense, even Rivers on the sidelines, was also very surprised.
"Sheldon can withstand Dwight Howard, does this mean..."
On the sidelines, Rivers touched his chin, and Almond Hill shook his head. As Rivers' right-hand man, he certainly knew what Rivers was thinking.
"Put away your unrealistic ideas, Doug, and don't try to pull out your immature five-small lineup on the stage of the Eastern Conference Finals."
"I know I know."
Back in the game, the sparks were misfired, but the Magic also barely kept up with the Bobcats' offensive rhythm by relying on the chaotic battles of the outsiders.
A few more rounds were played, and when the score became 17-12, the official timeout was made.
When rushing off the field, Li Ke looked up at the score above his head, and they were already leading by 5 points.
This lead was actually expected.
After all, in this game, the Bobcats took out Li Ku's pick-and-roll set, which Rivers didn't care about at first, and Li Ke's big killer move.
It's just that the Eastern Conference semifinals are used to the rhythm of leading early and early. The Bobcats are still a little uncomfortable with the rhythm of this game.
So, pausing, Rivers immediately declared:
"We need to solve the opponent's pick-and-roll offense, and then change all the defenses against pick-and-rolls to switch defenses when encountering pick-and-rolls..."
Rivers believes that the Bobcats' lineup configuration, if they switch defenses in case of pick-and-rolls, should be much stronger than the defensive method of delaying returns.
But after the timeout, after the actual operation, the situation on the court changed a bit differently from what Rivers imagined.
The Magic brought in Rashard Lewis and continued to play a pick-and-roll offense that was a little more reluctant than it was when Bass was on the court.
Why reluctantly, because Xiao Heidou holds the ball, and it is the old Carter and Lewis who have just appeared on the stage who are the wall for him in the pick-and-roll.
But this set of relatively reluctant pick-and-rolls played a miraculous effect at this time.
"The Magic have also started to learn from the Bobcats. They mainly focus on the pick-and-roll of outside players. They played very smartly, keeping a close eye on Stephen Curry, and making crazy solo breakthroughs."
It's a bit complicated to say that. To put it simply, the Magic suddenly became enlightened and stared at Curry's various military training.
You know, the Bobcats' main lineup, the single-defense capabilities of the four positions are all top-notch in the league, and the only one who is not top-notch is Curry.
Curry's defense is not only not top-notch, he also has a la carte, so now he is ordered by the Magic's outside chaotic masters.
Rivers realized this, walked to the sidelines, yelled a few times, and adjusted the defense back with gestures.
But the defense is turned back, and the Magic's offense still has a way to go.
At the end of the first quarter, the score was 30 to 26, and the Bobcats led by only 4 points.
One quarter of the game allowed Rivers to see clearly the strength of the Magic's outside chaotic scorers.
"Fortunately, Sheldon's pinch defense locked Warcraft. We still have the advantage so far in this game."
Now that he has the advantage, Rivers is not in a hurry.
In the second quarter, some substitutes were replaced on both sides.
Overall, the rotations of the two teams are not bad. The Magic have Jamal Nelson, JJ Redick and Lewis who has already played in the first quarter.
For the Bobcats, Kua No. [-] pick replaced Jr. Jordan, Tucker replaced Hua No. [-], and the appearance of Lao Du made Li Ke suddenly move to No. [-] position.
The substitute rotation lineup matched up, and the result was that in the second quarter, the Bobcats, who had the advantage on the scene, still failed to open the score.
"On the last attack of the second quarter, Warcraft finally got a chance for a low-post single. He leaned against Tajibson who had just played for a while, turned around, and forced a layup!"
Bang-dang-!
"The basketball bounces out of the hoop, halftime is over!"
"With a score of 57 to 52, the Bobcats still hold a 5-point lead."
The 5-point lead is no different from the 4-point lead at the end of the first quarter.
In midfield, Rivers is already a little impatient.
"Do you want to change to Fifth Elementary School?"
Almond Hill rolled his eyes: "Stop thinking about your Fifth Younger, it's too immature!"
"Then let the game continue like this?"
"Why don't you try chopping Huo..."
So, in the third quarter, just before the start of the game, Kenyon Martin, who unexpectedly reached the center position and played first, slapped the empty-handed and somewhat confused Spark.
Dan Crawford was also stunned. Seeing the old Martin raise his hand, he reacted and blew his whistle.
Starting from the slap of the No. [-] pick, the Bobcats gave Sparks five consecutive fouls in the next few rounds. Old Martin made five fouls directly and left the court first.
The real main center of the Bobcats, Jr. Jordan, stepped on the battlefield in the second half after the timer beeped.
At this time, what Sparks needs to face is the devastated basket.
Bang-dang-!
"Warcraft's free throw, the first penalty was missed..."
"Look at the second penalty."
Because the sparks are standing on the free throw line, on both sides of the free throw area, the Magic are preparing to fight for rebounds, Michael Pietrus and Ryan Anderson.
So, bang!
After another strike, Pietrus was blocked by Li Ke, Ryan Anderson was also suppressed by Jordan Jr., Hua Er jumped out and grabbed the rebound.
Immediately afterwards, there was an extremely swift counterattack...
In the third quarter, the hacking tactics achieved phased success.
It has to be said that Sparks' free throws are comparable to those of Old Sharks.
Although there were too many penalties, Huo Hua gradually found a pattern, and every two penalties must hit one.
But for the Magic, the reality of only making one of two free throws is that they have to lose 1 point in every offensive round.
While the tactics of killing Huo were progressing smoothly, Rivers also confidently replaced Jordan in advance, with the purpose of protecting Jordan.
Immediately after, Ryan Hollins, who hadn't played for a long time, appeared...
Rivers' thinking is very simple and rude, anyway, the Magic's offense cannot enter the stage of sports warfare.
Ryan Hollins didn't even have to hold off the spark, he just had to wait until the Magic delivered the ball upfield, followed by a lightning-fast foul, and the Magic's offense was over.
Sparks can only step on the free throw line he doesn't want to step on at the referee's whistle.
The one who was even more confused was Dan Crawford. He watched the Magic's free throw statistics soar, and wanted to say: I didn't want to control the court!
In the opening stage of the third quarter, Sparks directly made 16 free throws and only made 7 of them.
Relying on this wave of hacking attacks, the Bobcats instantly extended their lead to double digits.
Steve Kerr and groom Albert in the commentary shook their heads frantically: "It's a boring game, either a foul, or a foul on the way."
"Lynx's style of play is too utilitarian..."
It seemed that in an instant, Bobcat became the target of their criticism.
But the Bobcats don't care, as long as I can win, how can I win?
What's more, I wasn't the cause of Sparks' poor free throw?
Rivers still has a spectrum. In the last two fouls and four free throws, Sparks made three of four free throws. He directly suspended the attack of Huo Huo.
Everything is back to normal, but the Bobcats have killed more than ten points in the lead.
At the end of the three quarters, the Bobcats took a 84-point lead 70 to 14.
With a 14-point lead, the game is basically stable.
A little calculation will know that if the Magic want to beat the Bobcats, they must win the Bobcats by 15 points in one quarter.
What is the concept of winning 15 points in a single quarter?
Unless the Bobcats' offense collapses, or their defense collapses, it is impossible for them to give the Magic a chance to win by 15 points.
In this way, the emboldened Bobcats began the final decisive battle.
They continued to focus on Li Ku's pick-and-roll, maintaining the stability of the offense.
After the Magic concentrated their defense, Hua Er Er, who had been silent for a long time, broke out.
"Gerald Wallace, he suddenly held the ball and went in. It was too late for Warcraft's defense..."
Bang!
Hua Lao Er succeeded in breaking the buckle, and with this buckle, Hua Lao Er told everyone that he has been doing dirty work, which does not mean that he can only do dirty work.
In the Bobcats' subsequent offense, Hua Lao Er continued to break through the basket and score.
Bobcats offense has been very stable, the Magic's offense is not bad.
For the Bobcats, who have a 14-point lead, this is the best process.
Just like that, one quarter of the game is over, and the whole game is over——
"The first game of the Eastern Conference finals ended with the Bobcats winning. It's just a process, which is a little unimaginable..."
The game was over, and the Bobcats finally won the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals with a score of 109 to 95.
But after the game, Steve Kerr and Marv Albert concluded: "Looking at the whole game, the suspenseful end of the game should be the slashing tactics at the beginning of the third quarter. Relying on Dwight Howard's 16 of 7 free throws, the Bobcats took a double-digit lead."
"It was these two-digit leads that helped the Bobcats secure the victory in this game."
"To be honest, such a victory is a bit ugly."
Steve Kerr was a bit outspoken, but in fact, he showed some distaste for the Bobcats, from the beginning of the commentary.
Because it was an away game, Old Joe was in Charlotte. He watched TNT TV, watched the game, and listened to Steve Kerr's commentary.
Immediately, he frowned: "Steve, this guy really holds a grudge..."
The relationship between Old Joe and Cole is not good. He had conflicts with Steve Cole when he was a player.
But Old Joe believes that the reason why Steve Kerr hates the Bobcats so much should be the old shark's deal.
"Forget about being a loser, Michael, your team won Game [-] of the Eastern Conference Finals, that's enough, isn't it?"
"That's right!"
Old Qiao smiled, and won the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals. Although it was won by the really ugly way of cutting Huo tactics, the 1-0 lead was real.
This year's Bobcats, it is indeed possible to enter the finals.
……
After the first game of the Finals, it was not only Steve Kerr who was anxious, but also Magic fans.
Mike Bianchi, the head reporter of the Orlando Sentinel, published his column on Twitter, Facebook and WeChat as soon as the game ended, denouncing:
"Magic's loss in the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals is the problem of Stan Van Gundy alone!"
In addition to the pre-game preparations mentioned in the commentary, what Mike Bianchi mainly wanted to express was: "When the Bobcats start to slash, shouldn't the Magic respond by slashing back? DeAndre Jordan is not an excellent free throw shooter!"
This, seems to remind Stan Van Gundy...
