The starting lineup of the two sides is very clear, the Knicks: Zuoli, Randolph, Chandler, Belinelli, Curry.
Magic: Howard, Lewis, Pietrus, Vince Carter, Nelson.
Jump ball!
Zuo Li and Howard's jumping ball is the best looking, not only because of their top-notch physical fitness, but the most important thing is that Howard doesn't admit defeat.
When Zuo Li first entered the league, everyone took the jump ball seriously. Later, they found that there was no possibility of winning the jump ball with Zuo Li except hitting himself, so everyone let it go, even like the funny O'Neal, who often Don't jump anymore.
But Howard is different!
He refused to accept it, so he would jump seriously every time, and then seriously lose to Zuo Li.
The first offense, of course, belongs to the Knicks.
"Defense! Recycle! Keep up!" Da Fan applauded and shouted the tactical points of the game.
For the Eastern Conference semifinals, he has been researching defensive methods all season, and finally came to the conclusion that it is absolutely impossible to let the left stand, his scoring ability is too strong, you dare to let him really dare to score.
30 points will not work, 60 points will not work!
Strong teams, including the Celtics and Lakers, were smashed by Zuoli alone because of their untimely defense against Zuoli.
So Da Fan thought hard, and finally decided to guard Zuo Li closely, big delays, pressing the audience, all kinds of small moves, double-teaming, detouring... In short, as long as Zuo Li is uncomfortable, he can use it all and it's done!
Moreover, the defense must be recovered at the opening, and Zuo Li should not be given a chance to score easily in the interior. If he waits for Zuo Li to open and then double-teams it, it will be over, because Zuo Li is not alone in playing, and he has a chance to pass it!
At that time, if you miss both inside and outside, the game will be completely spent, and it will be too late to say anything.
Therefore, defending the left standing must start from the first minute and second of the game, and it must be extremely resolute, no matter the cost!
To this end, Dafan also talked to Howard last night to let him focus on defense.
"Think about it, as long as you block Zuo Li, the game won't be won. You are our best defender, we can only rely on you, and don't worry, as long as you watch Zuo Li, the fans' eyes will be sharp. Yes! At that time, you will be our number one hero, no worse than attacking!"
It's hard work, and it's hard to be a big fan. To be Howard's coach has to be a part-time psychiatrist. If you want Howard to devote himself to the defense, you have to pour chicken soup.
No way, who made Howard mentally immature, and he likes to attack very much. He has repeatedly lost his temper because of tactics and feels that he has too little ball possession.
But Dafan is also very helpless. Compared with Howard's defensive talent, his offense is almost impossible to mention. Except for the second offense, he just eats cakes, he can't push his back, and he can't attack the face frame. Not yet.
Dafan would like to say that if you have Zuoli's footsteps and skills, I would like to give you every ball, but unfortunately you are not!
Can you hit the ball yourself? You can't fight!
If you find two of the big four centers, you won't be able to learn, really drunk.
Unfortunately, I can't say this, otherwise Howard may retire directly, so I have to coax.
However, he knew that sooner or later he would not be able to coax them, and the conflict between the two would break out sooner or later.
But it's still useful now. Howard reluctantly agreed, mainly because he wanted to defeat Zuo Li too much, so he could sacrifice his offense. Although he felt that this would affect the Magic's offense (???), but in order to win, he still Go defensive!
So when he failed to jump the ball, he desperately pestered Zuo Li, not wanting him to catch the ball, he followed wherever Zuo Li went, and the defense was very tight.
Zuo Li tried to get rid of it, but don't say, the physical strength and speed of Peak Warcraft are really good, and he can really keep up with it at the beginning, so Zuo Li simply waved his hand: "Come on Stephen!"
Curry has this intention, and the person who happens to be defending him is Nelson, a stocky guard. He did not choose to stick to Curry, and he took a step back to prevent Curry from hitting the ball. He can also support the defense at any time.
But this step directly gives Curry the space to shoot.
Swish!
Curry hits a three-pointer!
"Good shot! Feeling good today, then throw it when you feel it, and I'll pick and roll for you, Zach, pay attention to protecting the rebound!" Zuo Li ran over and gave Curry a high-five when he saw it, and directly sent down the attack with all his strength.
Curry this season is a lot better than his rookie season in history, especially the three-pointer, but it's still far from his prime.
The main reason is, of course, that Curry needs more time to adapt to the rhythm of the NBA when he is young.
So Curry's 3s are sometimes inconsistent, and D'Antoni's tactics don't allow Curry to shoot at any time, so it doesn't seem that exaggerated.
But when he was right, it was different!
The first three-pointer did not attract the Magic's attention. On the contrary, they felt that it was quite successful. It happened that Carter immediately responded to Curry with a three-pointer, so they resolutely executed such a defense.
However, they were immediately shot through by Curry again. The left-handed pick-and-roll attracted the defense. Curry took a step back and shot directly!
The basketball flew over Nelson's head, and then dropped with precision!
"Another one! Stephen Curry! Okay, two consecutive three-pointers in the opening game, which greatly relieved Zuoli's offensive pressure!" Yu Jia said.
"I can do it! Fuck!" Curry pointed three fingers to the sky after throwing in, and while backing up, he uttered a foul language after a long absence.
He's venting his emotions about missing out on Rookie of the Year.
He still likes this award very much. He also won four Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month Rookie of the Month, but he still lost in the end...
After the miss, he was eager to prove himself in the game. Before this game, he felt that his state was unprecedentedly good, and his body seemed to have endless energy.
"Still not guarding? You come up! Or you will pay the price!" Curry shouted to Nelson with the ball in the third round.
Nelson was unmoved, and Curry did not hesitate to vote directly! As a result, the ball bounced out of the force, and it was better to get the rebound in the left standing position.
"You're not too bad!" Nelson sneered.
However, the left immediately gave the ball back to Curry, and Curry received 45 **** and then shot!
Swish!
Again!
"Just think about it!" Curry yelled.
Nelson: "..."
How is he so accurate!
Curry actually swept the Knicks' opening 9 points The three-pointer made three of four shots and Barkley began to open his mouth and sway.
And the magic is a bit square now, and many people are staring at the coach's bench to see if Dafan adjusts.
Dafan didn't move, and the adjustment of magic would be messed up at this time, so we can only emphasize that magic attack is more determined.
But the result is that Curry made 6 of 8 three-pointers in 7 minutes in the first quarter and scored 18 points in a single quarter, setting a personal playoff single quarter scoring record!
The small universe has completely exploded!
The Knicks also led by 10 points in a single quarter, 38-28!
