Howard singled Bogut with the ball, but was not stuck.

After Bogut gained weight, his lower limb strength also increased. Now Howard can no longer squeeze Bogut away as easily as he used to.

The original Bogut only began to transition to the defensive end in the middle and late stages of his career. If he had taken the defensive style from the beginning, his reputation would definitely be much better than now.

After all, in an era when the traditional center was lonely, his presence once made the Warriors' inside team look less thin.

Phil Jackson later said: "Howard has stopped improving since leaving the Magic!"

In fact, this can be said to be more specific. Since Howard led the team into the finals, he has lost his enterprising spirit.

Howard shook for a long time with a fake move that could no longer be faked.

Bogut was stunned but didn't move.

Brother, you should move!

Howard was very injured and his self-esteem was greatly affected. He simply squeezed away directly on the strength of his upper limbs and dunked successfully!

Hmm... Then what are you doing with all the effort?

Howard was also helpless.

I think everyone is so singles, why can't it get to me?

Forget it, it's better to dunk.

Howard retreated while lowering his head and muttering in his heart.

Switching offense and defense, it was the Bucks' turn to attack again.

Yi Jianlian was seen very deadly this time, and Mo Williams couldn't pass the ball, so he could only call the pick-and-roll to attack.

Bogut made a pick-and-roll for him. Howard's footsteps were fast and followed, blocking Mo Williams, who had gotten rid of the defense. Mo Williams reacted dissatisfied, and immediately ran back with the ball, and Nelson was shaken. On a lap, he completely lost his position. Vince Carter helped him to fill his seat. He was not idle, and went to Courtney Lee.

Mo Williams made the first pass before he caught up with Courtney Lee.

Courtney Lee, who took the ball, didn't hesitate to make a strong shot in the face of the little Nelson who came from the defense.

Nelson Jr. really can't defend.

Of course, his height is placed here, no matter how tall 1.83 meters, it is impossible to have a good defense.

The only defensive is good, one of which is Chris Paul, but the fans have mixed opinions about his defense, some said that his defense is a death entanglement, and that his defense is very dirty!

But then again, if a guy with a disadvantage in height can not suffer from a defensive loss, he must make up for it in other places. Some controversies are also normal.

Just like Beverly, who is 1.85 meters tall, it is also plagued by various controversies.

Jamal Nelson does not have these controversies, so his defense is not good.

Nelson: ...... Are you making me dirty?

"Change defenses quickly, haven't you eaten?"

Van Gundy was dissatisfied with the speed of the outside defense and yelled at them.

The arrival of Vince Carter has enriched the Magic's offensive tactics. It doesn't have to be said, but in the same way, Pietrus was placed on the bench and the defensive strength of the starting guard line decreased a lot.

Although Van Gundy placed Barnes with a good defensive ability at the small forward position, the small forward is more responsible for the defense of the flanks. Moreover, the existence of Yi Jianlian made him dare not leave for a moment, and could not help the Magic's back line at all. Defense.

As a result, the Magic's guard line was broken up by Mo Williams and Courtney Lee!

Orlando fans: Hey, why is this scene so familiar?

Bucks fans: Didn't you just rely on the defensive loopholes in our guard line to beat us four to zero in the playoffs last season?

Many people only remember the "ufo" that once soared into the sky.

But in fact, after a knee injury, Vince Carter and Michael Reid's play style is not much different, mainly shooting, interspersed with empty cut layups.

The defensive end is even more the same, try your best to defend, the effect depends on people.

Players who can't defensively can defend well, and those who can attack can become defensive loopholes.

The Magic took advantage of the Bucks' weak defensive ability at the back line last season to make a 4-0 deficit.

This season, he made the same mistake as the Bucks, making the Magic's guard line fragile.

So ah!

Again, the brain circuit of the Magic management is really powerless to complain!

Xiao K found the magic team's loopholes, and has been tugging at this problem. After about 8 minutes in the first quarter, the Bucks have established a 7-point lead.

This is still the case of the Magic staring at Yi Jianlian.

Van Gundy also looked helpless, didn't he say that Yi Jianlian is the most important guy in the Bucks? I have already double-teamed Yi Jianlian for the whole quarter. Why is the Bucks' offense still so smooth?

About 9 minutes into the first quarter.

Van Gundy put Pietrus on the court to make up for the loopholes in the backcourt defense.

The Bucks' backcourt vitality suddenly dropped a lot.

Courtney Lee has a fairly good shooting ability so far, and a defensive expert like Pietrus comes up, and he will naturally have to stop with a little focus.

However, Xiao K did not deploy tactics to resolve, the opposite was so targeted, he simply put Yi Jianlian and Courtney Lee off the court to rest, allowing Jamal Crawford to come up.

"Don't pass" plus "Don't pass"...

Obviously, the Bucks are about to enter the rhythm of blind jb play.

"Huh!"

"Don't pass" comes up and scores.

This made Van Gundy's fat face twisted together.

He didn't know if he should put down some of the Magic's main players to rest. After all, the Bucks have put down their main players to rest. If he doesn't let go, then this second quarter will probably be hit by a small climax.

But if he puts the main force off the court to rest... he watched the Bucks' substitute firepower is not much weaker than the main force!

"Huh!"

Enter another one.

This time it is Mo Williams!

Pietrus was able to do well when facing Mo Williams and Courtney Lee. Whether it was sticking or replenishing defenses, he did a very good job and was very timely.

But now facing two offensive players, it's a bit of a carelessness.

Just now there was a little warmth, and I felt that there was a little Nelson behind him, and now he was bullied into tears.

Don't take you so specifically to pick me at this point!

Little Nelson wants to vomit blood, which is too bullying!

Mo Williams: Didn't you bully me and Michael Reid in the playoffs last season?

In the end, the first quarter ended, the Bucks 29-20, temporarily leading by 9 points.

"It feels like this team is not very strong either!"

Liu Yifei cheered along with the fans in the audience. After cheering and recalling the course of the game, I always felt that it was not as exciting as the last time she came to Milwaukee to watch the game.

Howard: I'm sorry to disappoint you.

"From the first quarter alone, Yi hasn't made any effort yet. He only scored 7 points and 3 rebounds. But Yi's data is just like this. The Bucks have already led by 9 points. In this respect, this The excitement of the Christmas game is lower than the expectations of the majority of fans. The Bucks overall are much better than the Magic. I think this is not just my opinion!"

"Perhaps you can also say that the Magic's strength this season is not at the top level in the league. They are not at the same level as the Cavaliers, the Bucks, the Lakers and the Spurs, but their fans are not willing. Just admit it!"

Kenny Smith also believes that the excitement of this game is lower than expected, and Barkley is even more polite, making it clear that the strength of the Magic is only this, but Orlando fans have overestimated them!

"I hope the Magic players can play more intensely in the second quarter!"

Kenny Smith certainly can't go on with Barkley's words. He knows Barkley hates Magic fans, and it is precisely because he knows him that he can't intensify conflicts.

As a commentator, if you really do that, you are undoubtedly pushing yourself into the brazier!

The second quarter of the game began.

From the beginning, Xiao K picked up Yi Jianlian and Courtney Lee, who were put off early in the second half of the first quarter.

Van Gundy hesitated in the second half of the first quarter, and finally did not lay down too much of the main force. At this time, the only starting player on the court was Vince Carter.

To say that Vince Carter before the two serious injuries can carry a team's offense alone is definitely not nonsense. Without that ability, how could Vince Carter be called the "big four"?

We must know that the historical three-pointer Lei Allen was not eligible to be included in this list. From this, we can see how great the strength of the four "East Esko, South McDonald" was at that time!

But now Vince Carter's ability to be a second master is barely enough, and he doesn't have the ability to chase points alone.

This is why Vince Carter is reluctant to forgive Bruce Bowen all his life. This **** has ruined everything about him.

Yi Jianlian made consecutive shots on the court, and alone widened the difference to 12 points.

Only three minutes into the second quarter, the Magic was pulled by the Bucks to a two-digit point difference. Few fans would have imagined this situation.

Stan Van Gundy was anxiously spinning around the sidelines, talking non-stop like a serial gun, but the Magic's bench strength is really limited, no matter what he says, what should be done well is not done well.

No way!

Van Gundy waved his hand and replaced all the main players on the court.

Little K followed him closely and replaced the main force.

He obviously did not intend to give Van Gundy and the Magic a chance at all.

"Bah!"

Howard came up and gave dunks.

When he fell from the basket, he patted his chest and yelled, trying to motivate his teammates.

"Huh!"

But Yi Jianlian turned his head and shot a three-pointer.

The point difference widened to 13 points, making the sideline Stan Van Gundy's face that had just eased a little and became unsightly.

Little Nelson took the ball, but he didn't dare to shoot again this time.

The situation on the Magic field has reached the point where it is urgent. Van Gundy on the sidelines looks like he hasn't **** for so many days. If he is still so brainless, I'm afraid that he won't even want to sit down in the starting position.

He cooperated with Carter. The latter made a quick cut this time. Courtney Lee was freed from it and made an easy layup.

The Bucks switched offense and defense. This time there was a mistake in coordination. The passing route of Mo Williams and Channing Frye was predicted by the substitute JJ Redick.

Although Redick did not rush himself, but Nelson rushed very fast. When he fell into the Bucks penalty area, no one of the Bucks players returned to defense. Redick hurriedly passed the ball with his hand. Nelson Jr. Make a layup.

Mo Williams glanced at K. The latter pointed to the point where Mo Williams passed the ball. He didn't say anything, but the meaning was very clear: you have to pay attention, you have passed too many times at that point. Too much, others have already taken precautions!

Mo Williams was very obedient, this time dribbling the ball to the center.

"Here!"

Yi Jianlian, who has been watched all the time, didn’t know what to do. He broke through the double team and cut into the right side of the free throw line. It's a comfortable catch height.

Yi Jian connected the ball and he was already in the penalty area, but he was disturbed by Howard while he jumped up.

Didn't get in!

Howard quickly bounced twice and took the ball in his hands.

The pass was passed to Nelson Jr. and transported to the court. Lewis ran out of a big open and hit a three-pointer.

7-0!

I don't know what's going on!

A few minutes ago, the Magic, who had been in desperate situation, suddenly got up and played a 7-0 spurt, chasing the score to 6 points.

Vince Carter was sitting on the bench biting his fingers and looking at the court, his expression on his face didn't look good.

Chasing points is not terrible, whoever is not present will be embarrassed.

The 13-point difference was opened up when he was on the court.

The 6-point difference was the one he caught up.

Vince Carter would like to ask: I'm just a newcomer, do you need to target me like this?

K called a timeout to the Bucks player slowly.

Some adjustments were made by the way: Channing Frye was taken down and replaced by Tay Gibson.

Pause back.

Yi Jianlian got a one-on-one opportunity from the outside for a long time, facing Barnes, and succeeded in a jump shot after the signature action.

"Wow!"

Yi Jianlian's goal broke the Bucks' scoring shortage, and there was a burst of cheers in the audience.

It has to be easy to play!

As soon as Xiao K saw that Yi Jianlian scored as soon as he got the ball, he couldn't help but mutter.

Channing Frye overlaps with Lewis's position. Both players are waiting for opportunities outside the three-point line. This allows Lewis to defend Channing Frye while also flanking Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian could not get the ball for a long time because of the double-teaming between Barnes and Lewis.

Now Xiao K has simply taken Channing Frye and replaced Ty Gibson to help Yi Jianlian expand outside space, while also limiting Lewis's defensive space~lightnovelpub.net~ to kill two birds with one stone.

Yi Jianlian started to show off!

But the momentum that the Magic has come up is not so easy to suppress.

Although Yi Jianlian began to stage various scoring shows, but Nelson and Barnes also scored two consecutive three-pointers, the game's point difference remained at around 8 points, both sides froze no one can help.

At the end of the second quarter, the score on both sides was 55 to 48.

The Bucks also led by 7 points.

"The Magic seem to have found their own feelings. They played very anxiously with the Bucks in this quarter, and we gradually saw some sparks. Of course, just for the moment, the Magic is still a bit disappointing. I hope the third quarter. , They can show a stronger side!"

Although the point difference is not much different from the first quarter, from the scene, the state of the Magic players is obviously better, which also makes Kenny Smith expect the second half of the game to become more intense. .
