Chapter 1382 Change Tactics

This rout can be said to be both expected and unexpected by everyone. Many people expected the Lakers to win, but they did not expect the Magic to lose so simply and shamelessly.

In the finals, someone got a triple-double in a single quarter. In the first battle, as many as a dozen individual and team records were set. The Magic is completely famous.

What Van Gundy said at the end of the game didn't make a difference.

Magic fans were really stimulated. A lot of uncool fans gathered at the entrance of the Lakers Hotel that night, and there was even an uncivilized phenomenon of chasing the Lakers bus and scolding the streets. After Ji Feng returned to the hotel, he asked the team doctor to come. Earplugs, it is expected that there may be a variety of good shows staged outside the hotel tonight.

There are a lot of smashed TV series and computer hosts on the streets of Orlando. They are suspected to have been smashed by Magic fans who were furious after watching the score. I don't know if there are any magic bosses.

Not to mention the online discussions, with fan sites around the world discussing the atypical Finals.

But no matter what people think or say, everyone has a consensus that this year's finals should almost be decided. After all, no team has ever completed a 3-1 comeback in the history of the finals.

Can magic do it?

They didn't dare to think so themselves. After the game, the locker room was unimaginably dull. There was hardly anyone talking during the whole bathing and cleaning process.

This is also normal. The confidence of the players has actually been wiped out until now, especially in this crucial battle. To be honest, some people who have always been unsettled have already been Thinking about where to go fishing during the holidays, and what’s more, you should also think about things after the contract expires.

If no one stood up to mobilize emotions at this time, it would almost be possible to announce the ownership of this year's championship in advance.

However, there is no such guy in this Magic lineup. Seriously, don’t look at the Magic’s entire team, all of them are fierce and tall, but in fact there are no villains in the Magic lineup. Although they Not a good gentleman like Grant Hill, but far worse than a bad guy like Artest.

As the core of Howard, I will not mention it. His temperament is not mature enough. Whether it is Lewis or Turkoglu, their styles and personalities determine that they are not the kind of tough and ruthless characters on the court.

This is fundamentally different from the Lakers. The Lakers don't look at each and everyone being gentle off the court. In fact, they are all ruthless characters. They will never be soft on their opponents. When the team needs an attitude, they will also stand up one by one. As a team, they were never afraid to clash with anyone on the field.

Logically speaking, it is difficult for Magic without tough and tough characters to go so far in such a fiercely competitive playoffs. They even killed the Green Shirts, who are known for their iron and tyrannical characters, and also knocked down the knights with tough guys like Big Ben. , which does not seem to match their assessment.

Here we have to mention the role of Van Gundy on this team. Stan Van Gundy is recognized as an excellent coach in this era. He taught his team passion and tenacity. He is a coach who can change the team culture. There is never a lack of passion on and off the court. You will often see him rushing out to reason with the referee, dancing frantically on the sidelines just to motivate his players, so he is the strength of this Magic team.

To be fair, if Howard hadn't met Van Gundy, his performance on the court might not have reached the level he is today. Think about Milicic, a good coach is more important than you think.

So this time we have to see the big Van Gundy!

In the early morning of the second day after the miserable fourth game, in the daily magic training class, almost everyone was expressionless today, all silently doing their own thing, waiting for the training to start.

And at this time, Van Gundy directly shouted out the tactics as soon as he came in: "I think we will let go of the fight, take the lead from the first quarter, and stop using the tactics of biting points. Although this can save physical strength, It can also make the opponent feel uncomfortable, but we really don’t have enough confidence in the third and fourth quarters, and it will be better to have the advantage and put pressure on the opponent at the beginning.”

"Coach, it's hard for us to lead the Lakers in the first quarter." Nelson seemed to lack confidence.

"Hey hey hey! Don't say that, your ability is stronger than you think, listen guys, we have to start the next game well, we must put enough pressure on those guys at the beginning, they must be used to our Slow heat, and they have a big lead, they will definitely relax their vigilance, at that time, it is our chance!" Big Van Gundy continued.

"But we have no retreat, isn't it, there is one more game, we should stay here to fish." Howard said with a dull look, this guy is really immature, and he did not forget to dismantle the head coach at this time.

Big Van Gundy almost got a mouthful of blood. If it wasn't for this guy in the next game, he really wanted him to get out of the training ground. To be honest, he sometimes really doesn't like high school players because they don't have experience. After college experience, many high school students will have all kinds of problems after entering the league. It is good to say that they can use more scientific training to make up for it, but this psychological immaturity really kills people. , In order to tune Howard for so many years, he does not know how many times of effort, but in the end, this guy is still crooked.

But it's not about high school students. Kobe, James, Ji Feng, and Garnett aren't all high school students. For Mao's sake, they're just one by one. Let's take a look at the guy in front of me. He's talented. The mentality is really bad. The most important thing is that he is now addicted to his own strength and dares to challenge his authority. He is not training well. If this goes on, big things will happen sooner or later.

But now the big Van Gundy can't care about the future, he still needs to do the things in front of him.

"Dwight, you're right, we have no way out, so what burdens do we have, this is our last home game of the season, we have nothing to lose, why not give it a shot?"

"The No. 1 center in the Knicks!"

Big Van Gundy's last words hit Howard's heart, and his eyes lit up.

Yup!

He is the number one center!

It's a guy who can change James alone!

"I get the coach! I won't give up!" Howard said.

After training Howard, more than half of Van Gundy's work has been completed. The next step is to instill in the players the tactics that their coaching staff made after staying up all night. They decided to start the final battle with the Lakers in the first quarter!
