Chapter 373 13 consecutive victories, who can stop Orlando?(1/2)

The past month has been perfect for both Legend and Xiao Ai, thank you to everyone! Please recommend votes and guaranteed monthly tickets!

——

"Haha, haha, I knew I knew Wood would be able to do it. You read that right. Yes, he did it again. This is an opportunity that comes from absolutely perfect tactical coordination. Look at this movement. It's really

It's great. Continuous screens made everything possible. This is the product of the team. Although it doesn't look as perfect or heroic as the previous singles, we still can't deny that this is a good result. Led by Wood Lin, who is born with a big heart.

Orlando took away the victory under the noses of Los Angeles people." Charles Barkley smiled exaggeratedly.

Barkley's exaggerated expression was in sharp contrast to the expressions of Lakers fans and players on the court. Kobe, who was at the top of the key, had his hands on his hips and looked at Lin Sen, who was being embraced by his teammates in celebration.

He had been waiting for three seasons after leaving that big fat man. He didn't want to carry that damn second-in-command title. Now he finally had strong teammates. He wanted to start his new season with a good start, but he didn't expect it.

This is the result.

Fortunately, losing only the first game of the new season will not affect the team's entire season, let alone his desire to win the championship.

Kobe shook his head and glanced at his wife Vanessa and his beloved daughter sitting on the sidelines, then turned and walked to the bench.

"The result was disappointing for the Los Angeles Lakers, but it was a wonderful game for the fans, and it also allowed both sides to know where they should strengthen and improve. This is just the beginning of a long journey of 82 regular season games.

, it is important to play well in every subsequent game." Kenny Smith concluded.

"Okay, Kenny, I admit you are right. This is just the beginning of the new season, but I think this game must have attracted the attention of many teams, such as Houston, Boston, and of course San Antonio and Cleveland. This game is

As a key observation of the team, personally speaking, Orlando played better and felt better in this game. We can obviously feel that the operation of the entire Orlando team is much better than last season. Of course, not only

Just the arrangement of the last key ball is completely different from last season's relying more on Wood's offensive methods, which was far from enough, to score points in isolation.

Of course, I want to know what the coaching staff thought when they saw Wood's mid-range shooting in the game, haha, wow. Wood walked to the sideline and seemed to say hello to his rumored girlfriends." Charles Barkley watched.

Said on the sidelines.

The reporters in the media area couldn't wait to raise their cameras. This is undoubtedly an additional benefit for them.

However, Lin Sen disappointed them because Lin Sen simply said a few words and left.

"I bet it won't be that simple. If we follow them, we will definitely get what we want."

"I think so too. Some time ago in Hong Kong we could only listen to other people's reports and didn't know the specifics of the matter. That situation was really bullshit. Think about Natalie Portman being pregnant and Woodetta going to find out.

Other women, if we find real evidence, we will definitely be able to set fire to them."

"Yes, no doubt."

The reporters in the media area were determined to follow, but in the end they were disappointed because Lin Sen did not leave the hotel at all until the team left Los Angeles and returned to Orlando.

This focus battle left fans with endless aftertaste, and the players from both sides also did not let the topic end.

Kobe Bryant, who played the entire game and scored a game-high 47 points in 40 minutes, said in an interview with reporters in the locker room after the game: "Wood played a good game. They won the game, but it was only temporary.

, I’ll hit him back next time in Orlando.”

At the same time, Kobe also expressed his dissatisfaction with the poor performance of starting center Anzu Bynum: "I think he is not young anymore. He should learn how to face the game and face his own emotions. What the team needs is help rather than a burden.

"

Kobe also responded to the fact that he only hit 15 goals in 36 shots in the game: "No one wants to take so many shots if they can, and no one wants to play for so long. My touch is a bit better on defense.

It’s not good, but even then I still have to shoot, but fortunately we are just getting started and everything will be fine.”

What's exciting is that there are rumors that after Kobe Bryant and the team's general manager Mitch Kupchak once again expressed their intention to trade Anzu Bynum to introduce players who are more suitable for the team, but Kupchak later denied it.

This statement.

As the winner, the Orlando Magic are in a good mood. Ron Artest, the wild beast who joined the Orlando Magic through a trade in the offseason, although his status in the Magic is now lower than that in the Kings. From the team boss to

He is the fourth player, but it is undeniable that he is the key to connecting the Magic's internal and external defense.

Everyone can see the huge role he played in the game against the Lakers. The different defensive styles of he and Battier are undoubtedly one of the important reasons why Kobe hit the iron 21 times in the game.

Although Artest only took 9 shots in the game, he still scored 13 points and also contributed 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals. Undoubtedly, he was also a contributor to the Magic's victory in the opening game.

So Artest was in a very good mood. When interviewed by reporters, he said with some exaggeration: "There is no doubt that Wood is an important reason why I came to Orlando. At this point, I, Dikembe, Chauncey,

Sean, Sam, Eddie and several other newcomers who have also just arrived in Orlando have the same idea. This game has proved this. He is an outstanding guy, and we old guys are willing to hang around him, and this

This game is a good result. He told us with a big heart that he is worthy of our sacrifice for him. No one likes to lose. We can make sacrifices in order to win. We defeated the Lakers. They are a strong opponent. This is

We start the new season with confidence in every game that follows, and the O'Brien Cup is the goal and only goal for all of Orlando."

Lin Sen, who completed the three-pointer at the buzzer, was naturally the target of reporters' pursuit. In the locker room, Lin Sen did not shy away from expressing his expectations for the new season again: "We were not favored last season, but we did a lot.

We fought to the end, things that people can't even imagine. We have prepared a lot for the new season, and we can't think of any goal we should pursue except the championship."

The Orlando media was full of praise for their team's players. They highly praised Orlando's management, coaching staff and players.

"Ron + Sean = The Grave of the Forward and Guard Superstars" - This is the news headline of "Yahoo Sports". In addition to summarizing the game between the Lakers and the Magic, the content mainly emphasizes the team that has Artest and Battier.

The Magic's defensive horror at both forward and guard positions was analyzed through Kobe Bryant's 21 strikes. Especially Battier's key block at the last moment led to Lin Sen's final pressure-free three-pointer. Yahoo Sports believes that this season

Any forward or defender player will face a huge test when encountering the Magic.

"The evolved version of Wood still shines, and he makes the league tremble with his mid-range skills." This is an article from the "Orlando Sentinel". The article focused on praising Lin Sen's progress, and even said that this season's championship can only be the Magic.

"47 lost to 35. Efficiency is king. The Black Mamba is still lonely" - "USA Today", "USA Today" analyzed the opening game from the efficiency of the two leading stars, Kobe and Lin Sen.

The media, large and small, paid a lot of attention to this focus battle, which also made other teams feel the difference of the new Magic.

Teams with championship aspirations immediately analyzed the game. Magic like this scared them, and they knew it wasn't the best magic.

"Although he scored the Magic's highest score of 35 points, he only took 19 shots and hit 14 of them. Let us first see how his 35 points came from. Among them, 11 mid-range shots were made and he hit 14 of them.

7. A total of 5 attempts to get to the basket and floaters and 4 of them were made. 4 three-pointers were made and 3 of them were made. In addition, 4 free throws were made and 4 were made. From the data point of view, this is an extremely high number.

efficiency, and three-pointers and breakthroughs were his main offensive methods last season, but in this game everyone also saw that he took very few three-pointers and was very rational, far less crazy than last season. And breakthroughs also decreased a lot.

, but this is not the focus of our study today. The focus is to see how and where his shot is from the mid-range." Doc Rivers pointed at the screen and said.

It was the second day between the Magic and the Lakers. They were in the Boston Celtics tactical room. They had to play against the Washington Wizards in the evening. However, the Celtics did not make targeted arrangements for the Wizards. Instead, they faced the Magic.

Pay special attention to it.

A replay of Lin Sen's 11 mid-range shots appeared on the TV screen, especially the shot of the goal: "Look, there are turn-over jump shots, step-backs, and catch-and-shoot shots after going around screens, including fixed spots. I think

Everyone can see it. Last season's data showed that during the regular season, he averaged less than 2 mid-range shots per game. In the finals, it only increased to nearly 4 times, but this is very different from the 11 times in this game.

Difference, what does this mean?”

Doc Rivers looked at his players: "This shows that he has strengthened his training on mid-range shots during the offseason and achieved good results. At least in terms of confidence, he has confidence. This is

It's scary, I think every one of us is familiar with him, especially kg."

Garnett nodded: "Yes, this guy is very unique. It seems that he is very bad off the court. He is called a playboy and has many scandals. But on the court, he is indeed an extremely difficult guy, and he actually trains very hard.

But when he was with the Timberwolves last season, he also practiced mid-range, but the effect was not good until later."

"Oh, later?" Rivers became interested.

"Yes, it was a guy named Russ Edison. He used science and technology to analyze Wood's shooting and then came up with improvement plans. I still remember the effect was in the game against the Spurs when I was absent.

Well, the bounce, strength and airborne analysis during the dunk replay in the game we watched yesterday was made by this company. Howard's free throws were also better yesterday, and it is said that it was also made in this way."

Garnett's explanation made Doc Rivers frown: "Anyway, he has perfected his mid-range shooting. If we have more mid-range shots, our defense will have to change. Let's look at the Magic's

Defense..."

Not only did the Celtics focus on analyzing the Magic, the Spurs, Cavaliers, Rockets and the failed Lakers were all analyzing last night's Magic.

Lin Sen, who only knows three-pointers and breakthroughs, is enough to make every team depressed, let alone Lin Sen, who can't shoot mid-range shots. Lin Sen, who returned to Orlando, rested at home for a few hours before getting into the water house.

The center started special training.

This is not a team training, but many people came.

"Don't move your steps randomly. Yes, always keep your arms and block his eyes. Don't deliberately pursue blocking shots." Shane Battier was standing on the sidelines facing the court and defending Bill.

Linsen of Pussy said.

"Shaun. In fact, if Wood is stronger, he can learn my defensive methods, and I have seen his previous games. He is very keen on physical confrontation, even though he was still very weak last season." said Battier next to him.

Artest smiled and said, "By the way, especially his little moves. He is not a good boy. Only the old man David Stern would think so."

"Hey, Ron, you are slandering me." Lin Sen said with a smile.

Lin Sen not only has to practice defense with Battier and Artest, but also practices defense with Billups. Billups is a seriously underestimated player in the league, and the defensive end is definitely the league's top level at the guard position:

He has sharp eyesight, strikes hard, jumps high, runs fast, and has a strong body.

On the offensive end, Linsen mainly learned from Billups and Sam Cassell.

Chauncey Billups is a man who knows how to use his own advantages to attack the enemy. When the opponent is shorter than him, he will use his physical advantage to beat the opponent; and when he encounters a player who is strong but lacks speed,

Against his opponent, his speed advantage can be fully demonstrated.

What he is best at in offense is to force the shot. And this move has been tried and tested repeatedly. However, what Lin Sen focuses on is the help Billups gives to his teammates in the game. Even Billups averaged the most assists per game this season.

There are only 8.6 times, most of the time around 7 times. Although Lin Sen averaged 10.7 assists per game in his rookie season, it is only a high number.

Billups' passing success rate is very high, he makes very few mistakes, and his teammates can play better. Compared with Billups, Lin Sen still has a lot to learn.

As for the alien Sam Cassel, when Lin Sen was still in the Minnesota Timberwolves, after playing against the Clippers, Garnett once told him that he wanted Cassel to teach Lin Sen.

Cassel's physical fitness is probably only average or even below average in the NBA. Most of his offensive options end with mid-to-long-range jump shots. Back then, Cassel said, "The only one who can shoot a half-volley shot better than me is Jordan." In the Timberwolves, he relied on it even more.

kg's pick-and-roll and ball distribution, as well as his timing of emergency stop jump shots. When breaking through, he mainly relies on rhythm rather than speed.

In addition, Cassel's thin body has made considerable achievements in post-up singles in the low post, and this is something Lin Sen wants to learn. Compared with Cassel, his physical fitness is much better, both in terms of speed and strength.
