While listening to the words from the assistant coach Mondy next to him, Stan Van Gundy gently kneaded his forehead with his fingers. After pondering for a while, Stan Van Gundy suddenly laughed out loud.

"Haha, maybe you're right, I might really need to relax, hey."

…………

April 25.

A day later, the second playoff showdown between the Magic and the Bulls is officially coming.

This game is also played at the Magic's home court.

And long before the players entered the court, the entire Orlando Arena was filled with people of all sizes.

Everyone was chatting happily and discussing with each other, preparing to welcome the upcoming competition in a relatively relaxed manner.

Before the game started, the players of both sides were still shooting warm-ups in their respective halfs. For this game, the Bulls were obviously becoming more stressful.

Before this round of the series, the unanimous comments from the outside world were that they were very unfavorable to the Bulls.

In this case, it has put a huge pressure on the young Bulls, and the defeat in the first game at this moment has made the team's overall score lag behind.

So under this situation, the Bulls began to become a little depressed, and the torture suffered from psychological pressure was even more tremendous.

After all, no matter what, this is just a team composed of young players. Most of the players in the team have just entered the league and have not yet encountered any blows from society.

This also leads to the fact that once the total score of the series is behind, the players will feel very depressed, which is the biggest difference between young players and veteran players.

Before the game began, both sides also announced the starting lineups of this game:

Magic:

Sujiu, Iverson, Petrus, Lewis, and Howard.

Bulls:

Ross, Sefrosa, Lorden, Nosioni, and Tyrus Thomas.

In this game, the Magic continued their previous starting lineup and did not make much adjustments.

Because this lineup can be said to have become very useful after so long after running-in, it has basically not had many shortcomings while being both offensive and defensive.

However, the Bulls' starting lineup in this game has made a huge adjustment.

First of all, as assistant coach Mondy had guessed before, after losing to the Magic in the last game, coach Denagro of this game took the lead in making some adjustments.

While putting Ben Gordon from the outside to the substitute lineup to lead the second team to score points, he also took the initiative to put Sevrosa on the starting lineup.

Its function is very obvious, which is to use it to guard against Iverson and try to limit it.

After all, Iverson was completely a god-blocking killer. If he didn't show some targeted defense, the Bulls might be in a very big trouble.

Of course, compared to the change in putting Ben Gordon on the substitute lineup, the biggest change for the Bulls in this game is the replacement of inside players.

Even when Stan Van Gundy saw the Bulls' starting lineup, he felt a clear moment of dullness.

Because even though he thought about it for a long time, Denagro did not use Brad Miller or Jockin Noah in the starting center.

Instead, he used Tyrus Thomas, who was only 2.06 meters tall.

Although Tyrus Thomas is a well-known spring man in the league, except for his height of only 2.06 meters, he weighs only 215 pounds.

The gap between this and Howard is definitely very huge. If you want Tyrus Thomas to take Howard to take on the inside, it would be a dream thing.

After all, in Tyrus Thomas' career, he mostly played as the fourth position.

Although he played the No. 5 position briefly in the regular season, he was also facing some short centers.

No one expected that Denagro would dare to mention Tyrus Thomas as the starting center stage when the center was still Howard.

This is simply a very crazy decision!!

"It really makes people feel a headache. I always have a bad premonition. What is this plan?!"

"I don't believe that Winey wouldn't know if Tyrus played center, she would definitely be beaten into a pile of scrap iron by Dwight."

"You know, compared to the height difference between these two people, they have a weight difference of 50 pounds!!"

When Stan Van Gundy saw the starting lineup sent by Denagro, he frowned, as if he could not see through Denagro's measurement for a moment.

Because no matter how Van Gundy analyzes it, it looks like a suicide-related employment.

"This..., is that guy Winnie trying to speed up and target us by pushing and counterattacking?"

"Or he wants to use Tyrus's shooting ability on the outside to attract Dwight outside, so as to help Derek gain more room for breakthrough?!"

After hearing what the assistant coach Mondy said, Stan Van Gundy frowned and still frowned. He rubbed his palm against his chin and kept thinking about it carefully.

"Well, it's possible, if that's the case, I really didn't expect it before the game. After all, this choice was really surprising."

"But in this way, although the Bulls can have more choices on the offensive end, how can he limit Dwight on the defensive end?"

"I don't believe Tyrus has the ability to defend Dwight alone, which is a 50-pound weight gap."

While Stan Van Gundy and the coaching staff were making speculations, the commentators on the scene also noticed some changes in the lineup.

Mark Woodson: "Hey, Winnie didn't choose to put Brad or Jockin in the starting lineup in this game. Instead, he used Tyrus, who was only 2.06 meters tall??"

"To be honest, this adjustment is really incredible. After all, the center he needs to face in this game is Dwight."

"I don't think Tyrus has the ability to live with Dwight at the basket."

Partner Tom Hovas: "Indeed, this is really an incredible operation, although we could probably guess before this game that Coach Winnie would make some changes to the lineup of this game."

"But we never expected that Coach Winnie would change so completely, and voluntarily gave up using Brad, and instead activated Tyrus, who had always played as a power forward. This was really a bit crazy decision."

"I think Coach Winnie is likely to use Tyrus' shooting ability to try to transfer Dwight out of the penalty area and create more room for breakthrough for Derek."

"After all, in the last game, the Bulls were unable to open the situation on the offensive end, so they were unable to close the score."

"Because the offensive choices of the entire Bulls are too monotonous, except for Derek and Ben, the offensive ability of others to hold the ball is simply slim."

"This also makes the Magic's defense more targeted, so I think Coach Winnie will actually mention Tyrus to the starting lineup in this game. I guess he wants to take the initiative to make some changes on the offensive end."

Mark Woodson: "Indeed, I think this should be the case, but on the defensive end, Tyrus will definitely be a problem."

"Unless Coach Winnie assists in defense and double-teaming on the court, if Dwight does not use double-teaming tactics, then Tyrus's body may be difficult to bear."

Partner Tom Hovas: "I think there is a very high chance that Coach Winnie will arrange some double-team tactics in this game."

"Because the Bulls did not double-team Dwight in the last game, Dwight also handed over a very efficient data in the end."

"So I think the Bulls will definitely make some adjustments to this, but once the Bulls choose to double-team Dwight, they will have to bear some threats from outside the Magic's three-point line."

"After all, as long as the Bulls choose to double-team Dwight, there will inevitably be some loopholes in the defensive formation."

"So it depends on the Bulls' choice in this game. As for whether Coach Winnie's plan before the game is as we expected, let's wait and see together in the next game."

In terms of the arena, when Su Jiu, who was shooting warm-up on the court, saw the Bulls' starting lineup through the big screen above his head, his facial expressions were obviously exciting.

Perhaps for people of this era, this lineup will definitely cause a lot of noise once it is taken out.

But for Su Jiu, who came back from later generations, he was too familiar with this lineup.

And when Denagro came up with this starting lineup, Su Jiu guessed a tactic the Bulls wanted to play in this game.

Isn’t this the legendary five death fives who have projection ability and can achieve unlimited defense switching and double-teaming on the defensive end?!!

Su Jiu was obviously a little confused when he saw this lineup. Although playing small ball lineups in later generations has become a trend, it is indeed a bit too weird at this time.

So when Su Jiu saw this lineup, he walked to Iverson and Howard and whispered something, and said silently in his heart:
Chapter completed!
