Chapter 1384 Three Points versus Biao, Whoever Is a Coward Is a Dog

With only 14 points in a single quarter, the Lakers encountered a crisis at the beginning of G5 of the Finals. The Magic changed from their usual slow state and launched a crazy offensive in the first quarter. The offense also drove the defense, allowing the Lakers to They were completely unprepared and were completely blown away by the Magic on both offense and defense.

This was the first game in the Finals where the Lakers' offense and defense were defeated by the Magic. Even in the losing game, the Lakers had been struggling with the Magic, so after this quarter, many Lakers fans were dumbfounded.

Reba watched the TV, dazedly touched the championship hat he had prepared long ago, and scratched his hair: "Is this the Lakers?! Did I open it the wrong way?"

The Lakers' performance in this quarter was just like their score, which was a bit embarrassing...

"Outside! We have to defend their outside! At the same time, we have to strengthen our outside shots and be more decisive! Ji Feng, put away your passes, we need you to step up!" On the bench, Zen Master was angry for the first time in a long time. The disadvantage on the court made him a little angry. The Lakers were led by the nose, so he had to change the situation immediately in the second quarter, otherwise the Lakers would be in trouble.

And his tactics focused on the outside, especially Ji Feng. He wanted the Lakers to open up the situation on the outside in the second quarter!

In the first quarter, although Howard scored 12 points in the paint alone, the highest score in the game, and this was also his best single quarter in the finals, it was not Howard who actually caused big trouble for the Lakers, because the Lakers double One tower scored 4 points and the other scored 6 points, adding up to a total of 10 points. The performance was not bad.

The most critical thing is actually the disadvantage of the outside line!

In this quarter, in just 12 minutes, the Magic's outside three-point shooters went completely crazy. In this quarter, they took 11 crazy three-point shots and hit 5 of them. Although the shooting rate was less than 50%, it was still It was already terrifying, and 11 shots in a single quarter also set a record for 3-point shots in a single quarter in this playoffs!

This is not ten years from now, when you can shoot dozens of times in a game. Now it is considered good to take more than 10 three-pointers in a game, even if it is the Lakers with Ji Feng and the Celtics with Ray Allen. , the average three-pointers per game is just over 10, and even a team like the Magic, which has a large number of three-point shooters from the outside, only averages 12.3 three-pointers per game. This is not a problem for the players. But this is the tactic of this era. The center is supreme, the inside is king, and the three-pointer is just an auxiliary method.

The most typical one is the Suns who like to play small ball. From today's perspective, if the Suns had converted three-pointers, they would definitely be stronger. But even the Suns a few years ago played the craziest small ball. Boom, the core of their tactics has always been insiders Stoudemire and Marion.

So you can understand how much these 11 three-point shots in a single quarter shocked the fans and commentators.

Barkley described the Magic players as if they were crazy in this quarter, and ESPN guest commentator Reggie Miller also said with a confused face: "It's really unbelievable that Van Gundy didn't stop these guys from taking crazy shots."

Yes, marksmen like Reggie Miller have had their worldview refreshed a bit, because in their time it was almost impossible to see 11 three-pointers in a single quarter. This is really crazy to his cognition. .

But that’s what magic does, and it really works!

Hitting 5 three-pointers in a single quarter resulted in 15 points from beyond the three-point line. However, the Lakers hit 1 three-pointer in a single quarter. The Lakers lost by 12 points in this alone. Losing by 14 points in a single quarter would not It's hard to understand.

That's why Zen Master was angry. In the first quarter, Ji Feng and Kobe played too selflessly. There was almost no personal offense, and the attack method was basically to kill the inside. This made the Magic's defense become tighter and tighter, causing the Lakers to completely fall into trouble in the second half of the quarter. Passive.

As for the defensive end, many people think that if you fall behind, you must strengthen your defense. However, in Zen Master's opinion, the further you fall behind, the more you must strengthen your offense. Otherwise, it is impossible to recover such a large point difference by relying on defense alone.

Of course, Jackson will never fail to defend. He replaced Ariza and Morrison, replaced Fisher and Gasol, and defended with two towers inside. Ji Feng played the 1st position to control the ball, and Kobe remained unchanged. This lineup is their lineup that has both attack and defense!

At the same time, the significance of this change of formation is that he wants to liberate Ji Feng and allow Ji Feng to devote more energy to the offensive end!

"The game continues to start, and we see that the Lakers' lineup has made a lot of adjustments. Although Gasol is off the game, Ariza is replaced, which makes the Lakers' overall lineup even higher. Let's see what effect this lineup has." Zhang The guide said.

"The Magic didn't make many adjustments. They just put Redick, a pure shooter, at the third position, and Lewis replaced Gortat inside to strengthen defense. The rest remains unchanged."

The game continues!

The first quarter of the game obviously inspired the Magic players' confidence. Howard pulled out a pick-and-roll in the paint. Alston, a semi-talented player, directly shot a three-pointer after the pick-and-roll. Ji Feng was blocked by Howard's black leg and could not defend well. Watch the ball fly away.

Uh-huh!

The basketball dropped into the bag and caused waves!

"Hi~! Made it again! The sixth one! The Magic's three-point touch is really incredible!" Director Zhang said.

"Damn!" Ji Feng cursed secretly and glared at Howard who blocked him. If it weren't for this guy's black feet, he would have been certain to block Alston.

Howard shook his head nonchalantly at Ji Feng's expression and shouted at Ji Feng: "It's 17 points, kid, hurry up and buy a ticket home!"

"Don't be influenced by him, fight back!" Kobe, who was standing next to Ji Feng, quickly stepped forward and said to Ji Feng. This was not the time for a conflict.

"I understand!" Ji Feng nodded. He never wanted to conflict with Howard. Now he just wants to educate him on the court!

Of course, now he has to give Alston back first!

At the top of the arc, Alston was out of position to guard against Ji Feng. Everyone knew that it was almost impossible to guard against it. Alston retreated to within three points. With a physique like his, Ji Feng would probably die if he put his arms down, so he could only be wretched. On defense.

But Ji Feng didn't give him a chance. He took a step outside the three-point line and took a shot. He responded with a three-pointer!

"Ji Feng finally made a three-pointer, and the Lakers took a breather!"

Then it was the Magic's turn. This time the Magic hit the inside. Nelson blocked the ball and took advantage of the opportunity involving Howard to get a V-Morrison. He did not waste it and scored the 14th point with a rebound under the basket.

But Ji Feng still didn't let Alston go, shooting a three-pointer directly over his head, treating him as nothing!

The basketball landed accurately again!

"Come on! Three points versus Biao! Whoever is a coward is a dog!" Ji Feng roared at Alston.
