Chapter 1390 Fatal Steal! Take the Initiative in Your Own Hands!

Howard made a crucial free throw and the score came to 109-107. The Magic at home had a 2-point lead with 37 seconds left in the game!

When Warcraft returned to the bench, he was treated like a hero. Redick delivered water, the assistant squeezed his shoulders, and there were all kinds of girl fans blowing kisses in the audience. Warcraft himself seemed very satisfied. Sit back on the bench.

"Well done Dwight!" Big Van Gundy also praised Howard and patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction.

Although only one of the two free throws was scored, it is a pity that the Magic's lead did not reach the more reassuring 3 points, but 2 points and 1 point are already very good, and a 1-point advantage is easy to lose. But 2 points are different, which also means that as long as the Magic stick to the three-point line to defend the Lakers, they will not be easily overtaken.

After all, there are still 37 seconds left in the last quarter. Even if the Lakers play 24 seconds in the next round, they still have 13 seconds to attack. As long as the Lakers don’t score 3 points in the next round, even if the Lakers tie the game, Also acceptable for magic.

Either lore or overtime is beneficial to the Magic!

In particular, the crucial 1 point is still the bad feeling of the free throws in this game. Before, only 3 of 7 free throws were made by Warcraft. Compared with Bynum who also had 2 free throws but all diapers, Warcraft is definitely worth it. encouraged.

"Dwight, they will most likely hit the inside line next, but we can't let go of the three-pointer to tighten, so it's up to you, if you want to turn the inside line into a no-fly zone, even if you can't prevent it, try to give them as much as possible. Create obstacles, whether it's Kobe or Ji Feng, you must put pressure on them, and the last and most important point is to protect the rebound!" Da Van Gundy squatted on the floor and drew frantically on the tactical board with a marker. While explaining the tactics to the players.

"As for the others, guard the perimeter ruthlessly. Remember, as long as Ji Feng or Kobe is willing to shoot a three-pointer, they must foul in advance. Even if they make a free throw, don't let them easily shoot a three-pointer! Remember, it must be before the shot. !"

After Van Gundy finished talking about Howard, he focused on formulating the tactics on the outside. Ji Feng's three-point lore in the finals last season is still vivid in his mind, so Van Gundy was afraid that Ji Feng would ignore a strong three-pointer, so he simply Even if Ji Feng can't shoot, he would rather send Ji Feng to the free throw line to get 2 points than let him get 3 points!

It is also a radical tactic, but it is very reasonable in this game. The main magic is really scared by Ji Feng. The magic feels quite good from the three-point line tonight. The rate is as high as 50%, and 33 points are obtained by just three points.

This is already an excellent statistic in this era. Let’s look at the Lakers. The team only made 17 three-pointers, but they hit 12 of them, and the hit rate reached an exaggerated 70.5%. Among them, Ji Feng was alone. He made 11 of 12 shots and scored 33 points from three-pointers alone, and the shooting percentage is even more unsolved.

"As soon as Ji Feng opened his hand, I felt that the goal was going to be scored." The local Orlando commentator even made such a sigh during the game to describe Ji Feng's incomprehensible three-pointer.

So Da Van Gundy didn't dare to gamble. At this time, he would rather Ji Feng get 2 points than let Ji Feng shoot at will on the outside.

And the great Van Gundy was really accurate. Master Zen did find another way. At the last moment, he chose the tactic of letting Ji Feng play outside. Gasol served the ball. But Pietrus, who was defending Ji Feng, understood Ji Feng's thoughts, so even though Ji Feng was dribbling from one and a half meters from the three-point line, Pietrus still shot!

"Ji Feng dribbled the ball and seemed to want to break through, but at the moment when Ji Feng started, Pietrus grabbed Ji Feng directly! The referee called a foul and Ji Feng went to the free throw line. 5th foul in the game!" the commentator said.

"SHIT!" Although he was fouled and walked to the free throw line, Ji Feng was not happy. He felt good about the shot. He already had a hunch that as long as he made the shot, it would be possible to score, so the Lakers would regain the initiative. , However, Pietrus's early foul disrupted his layout.

Swish!

Ji Feng scored two free throws, and the Magic called a timeout!

The timer now shows that there are only 20 seconds left in the game!

"Good, good, good!!"

"It's tied, it's tied! It can be regarded as returning to the same starting line, it depends on this defense!"

"There is a chance to defend this time, come on Lakers!"

Lakers fans have said in the comments that the equalizer did not relieve their pressure, because although it was tied, the ball was in the hands of the Magic, and they still needed to withstand the next attack!

20 seconds is enough for the Magic to play an offense, but I don't know if it can go on. The Magic will definitely press the time. What's more terrible is that if the Magic enters, the Lakers will be completely passive. In the end, the Lakers are very likely. There will be no time for a full attack.

"The last attack is in the hands of the Magic. In 20 seconds, Van Gundy will definitely arrange a complete attack. Even if this attack does not make it, it will never leave the Lakers a lot of time. Even he simply let the players hit the whistle, If you don't go into overtime, if you do, you will kill!" Instructor Zhang analyzed that at this time Magic is definitely taking the initiative and can't take the initiative any more.

"A normal game against the Lakers must be passive. With that guide, is it possible that the Lakers, like the Magic, will take the initiative to attack and take foul tactics!" Yu Jia said.

"This tactic looks good, but in fact, the Lakers are in a completely different situation from the Magic just now. The Magic has a 2-point lead and does not let Ji Feng make a three-pointer. You can do this, and there is enough time, but the Lakers do this directly to the Magic. He has an advantage, and there is not enough time, even if he gets the ball, who can guarantee that he will definitely score? Just need to wait for this attack and defense round.

Instructor Zhang's idea also coincides with many commentary professionals. Everyone is waiting for how the magic will play the last 20 seconds.

But Ji Feng refused to accept it. He was brooding about the early foul of the magic on his tactics just now. Since the magic did not let him shoot, he had to find a way not to make the magic better!

The high-spirited Magic 5 Tigers will take to the court, Howard is in charge, four outside shooters, Lewis, Turkoglu, Nelson and Redick, Big Van Gundy has replaced his four best three-pointers!

Lewis sends a sideline ball, but there is a big problem. Gasol, who is defending Lewis, is 10 cm taller than Lewis, so Lewis can't see it clearly. Gasol's long arms have been interfering with his sight. Can only swing left and right trying to see the situation clearly!

And the Magic also let Howard pick and roll, not the faster Nelson and Redick, but Turkoglu!

This is a trick!

Turkoglu was too slow. He was quickly caught up by Ji Feng after the pick-and-roll. Ji Feng was behind Turkoglu and defended halfway in advance!

Lewis didn't see it clearly, only saw someone rushing out and smashing it!

The basketball fell directly into Ji Feng's hands!

"Ji Feng appears in an incredible position! Ji Feng steals! Fast break!"
