Chapter 137 Personal Show
The score behind in the first quarter is not a good thing for the 76ers.
After all, offense and defense like Magic are considered first-class teams in the league. As long as they do not make mistakes, it will be very difficult for you to recover the score again.
Especially today, the 76ers could not withstand the pressure of Howard, the Magic's main player inside player. Although the "cutting Huo" tactic is very good, the 76ers do not have too much cannon fodder to use to cut. Lewis even fully utilized his advantage as a space power forward. Brand couldn't keep up with him. Although Whiteside could keep up, he was too immature and always thought about blocking shots. Lewis could easily cheat him for fouls!
Look, in the first quarter, Whiteside had two fouls on his body and sat down. Iguodala had to go up early to hit the power forward's vacancy, which slightly reduced Lewis' threat.
Brand's defense against Howard is also average. Although Brand's chassis is low, Howard is flexible. If he can't stand it, he will run. Sports combat is Howard's style, especially in air combat. Brand is a useless person who can't jump up. Howard is not fighting with you on the ground, so he can only watch helplessly.
The Magic's outside line is almost the same as the 76ers. Han Miao and Korver's two big shooters competed against the Magic's shooter group. After having the golden badge, Han Miao really dared to say shamelessly that he is a shooter.
Although Korver felt bad at the beginning, after Han Miao was double-teamed, Korver got a good opportunity and hit a lot in a row. The two of them kept withstood the pressure from the Magic Peripheral Shooter Group.
From this we can see that if Han Miao had not stopped the team from losing three consecutive times and had no upgraded badges at that time, then today's game would be over.
7 points difference, there is still hope.
"Coach, I'll continue playing in the second quarter."
Han Miao took the initiative to propose that he would play at the beginning of the second quarter, because judging from the current situation, the main players of the Magic in the second quarter must have a rest. This is a good opportunity to chase points, and he must seize it!
"You should have no problem with your physical strength, right?"
Stevens didn't know how strong Han Miao was, he only knew that this guy was a physical monster during training, so he asked specifically.
"Coach, I feel very good."
Han Miao blew his hands, indicating that he felt hot.
"Okay, then you keep playing and get the difference back!"
It is rare for Han Miao to take the initiative to ask for a fight, but Stevens is not easy to refuse. In addition, he is indeed the best choice to go up and take a fight, so Stevens also supports him very much.
The Magic started their rotation lineup in the second quarter. Howard went down to rest, Carter led the team, the inside combination was Gott and Anderson, the small forward was Pitrus, and the point guard was Du Hong.
There are many shooters in this lineup, and Carter is even more skilled when returning to the shooting guard. Pitrus is a 3D player, and Anderson is also a space power forward. Gotat is nicknamed "Polish Hammer". His combat effectiveness in the civil war is not weak. If it weren't for Howard, Gotat would even play as a main center!
Although the remaining point guard Du Hong does not have any special talents, his victory is stable, his ball control is very stable, and he also has shooting. The Magic's substitute lineup does not feel inferior to the starter of ordinary teams!
Han Miao looked at the substitute and then looked at his own big cat and kitten, and could only sigh. There was no way, who made Magic a powerful man now? The 76ers were just a team under reconstruction.
However, after Han Miao came up, he immediately launched an attack, and took a quick step back as he progressed. Du Hong was not ready now, and his body forced himself to move forward in a state of retreat. The final result was that he fell heavily!
Han Miao took a step back and returned to the three-point line. Du Hong fell to the ground without any psychological pressure. He just pulled up and took a three-pointer!
"Bang bang bang bang, swish~"
This ball is quite difficult, and I almost missed it. When Han Miao watched the basketball flutter on the basket, he was very nervous.
Fortunately, the ball was in the end.
The Magic counterattack, Carter attacked with the ball. I have to say that Carter is still very strong now, and breaking with the ball is still his strength. Capono is responsible for defending him, but he was completely killed in just a few moves!
However, Han Miao's timely replacement prevented this attack, and Carter had to withdraw his breakthrough action (if he broke through again, he would have to hit someone), and then pass the ball to the outside line.
Pitrus made a three-pointer! But he missed. Although Gott was also very strong, he was still a little worse than Howard. Although he got this rebound by Hoyce, he couldn't just make a tip-in like Howard!
Chance!
Seeing that Gotat was trying to push out the position, Han Miao quickly looked and stretched out his big hand and slapped the basketball in Gotat's hand!
"Quick attack!"
Lu Wei picked up the ball, then sprinted at full speed to prepare for a layup, but was blocked by Du Hong halfway.
"Louis, in the sky!"
Han Miao and Carter ran over in a pestering manner. The moment they entered the inside, Han Miao sent an empty signal to Lu Wei!
Lu Wei threw the ball into the sky without thinking!
It was not until he finished throwing that he remembered, "I'll go, air combat?" Han and Vince have no advantage! Yes, even though Carter has started to take more and more attacks outside the three-point line this season, his air combat ability is still pretty good now. Han Miao plays air combat in front of Carter... would it be a little too early?
"You guy..."
Of course, Carter would not give up the initiative in the air easily. The moment Han Miao jumped, Carter also jumped up, and the two of them flew towards the ball in the air at the same time.
Of course, from the perspective of position, Han Miao has an advantage, and he will definitely be able to receive the ball first.
The question now is, after receiving the ball, how should Han Miao take action against Carter who was standing in front of him?
"Vins, I'm sorry!"
Han Miao did not face the basket in the air, and was always in a back-to-face state. After receiving the ball, he did not move too much. He just made a violent contact with Carter, and then threw the ball into the direction of the basket in his memory!
"Ding--"
The referee blew the whistle, and Carter was cheated by Han Miao. There was no technical skill in making a foul, but it was just a forced one. If it weren't for the 76ers' home court, the referee might not have been able to blew it.
"Bang, bang, bang swish~"
And what was most speechless was that Han Miao obviously threw the ball casually just now, and after jumping on the basket for a long time, he actually rolled in!
I'll go! "21"! Is that okay?
The Magic team couldn't believe it. Han Miao came up with a three-pointer, a steal and a "21", especially if this free throw is scored now, the difference between the two teams will return to 1 point!
"Dwight, prepare to go up and play the double tower, then press the outside line and force him to break through! I think you know very well what to do next, let the Chinese and Korean solo show end."
Van Gundy called Howard to get up, and he wouldn't watch his opponent's leading player perform a solo show in front of him.
"I understand~"
Howard grinned, with a mouthful of white teeth reflecting a seepous light...
