Chapter 340 Marc Gasol who was dismissed!
Obviously, after the big victory in the last game, all the players of the Eagles have become full of confidence again.

Especially in the last game, Tony Allen, who had two blocked shots and four steals by himself, gave people the aura of a defensive champion.

At the same time, in the last game, Marc Gasol, who was tough and strong with Dwight Howard many times, also made all the fans and spectators feel fierce on his baby-faced face.

Of course, as the Magic team returned to the home court, listening to the cheers of the fans in the audience, they all got rid of the frustration and decadence of the big defeat in the last game!
Especially Dwight Howard, who played very hard in the last game and whose offensive efficiency has declined, even before the start of this game.

Facing all the Magic fans in the audience, three roars ignited the entire Orlando Arena instantly.

Looking at Dwight Howard, who was no longer happy and peaceful, but turned to a serious face, ready to jump the ball, and all the players of the Eagles, although they were still full of confidence, they were also heartbroken.

Obviously, this game will not be as easy as the last game.

As the referee took the basketball to the center of the field, blew the whistle in his mouth, and threw the basketball in his hand high at the same time.

The third game of this series between the Eagles and Magic officially kicked off.

Obviously, Dwight Howard's offensive talent may be mediocre, but his physical talent, bounce speed and jumping ability are still stronger than his predecessor Darko Milicic.

So this game is the same as the previous two games. Dwight Howard once again helped the Magic get the first offensive ball of the game.

It's just obvious that after being beaten up by the Eagles in the last game, the Magic started this game much calmer.

At least, Nelson didn't stand still outside the three-point line just after passing the half-court dribble, and directly hit the defense to complete the three-point shot!
Even after Nelson dribbled the ball for half-court, he handed the ball to Hedo Turkoglu who mentioned the ball from outside the three-point line as soon as he came up!
Hedo Turkoglu's performance in the second half of the last game proved that if the attack is normally knocked down, it is better for the Magic to hand over the starting point of tactics to Hedo Turkoglu.

Maybe Hedo Turkoglu's direct assist ability and direct assist rate are not very good in terms of data performance.

But for the sorting out of the tactical system, as well as the command of teammates and the operation of tactics, Hedo Turkoglu is the best player in the Magic right now!

This time the attack is the same, under the command of Hedo Turkoglu, the entire Magic team revolves around him and Dwight Howard as the core of the team's internal and external tactics and starts various interspersed moves.

Dwight Howard is also under the command of Hedo Turkoglu, frequently using his broad body to help his teammates complete the blocking task.

It's just that the Eagles, who have fully adapted to the intensity of the game in this round of the series, are still stable on the defensive end.

In the face of the Magic's pitchers who constantly pick and roll each other and make tactical moves with the ball, the overall defensive formation of the Eagles is not chaotic at all.

Again, the Eagles, which have fully formed a system to play their defensive strength normally, are not so easily disrupted.

Therefore, after nearly ten seconds of continuous command and movement, the Magic still failed to find a good offensive opportunity.

Seeing that the Magic's offensive time is coming to an end, Hedo Turkoglu, who has become the team's core offensive starting point from the beginning of the game, is also a little anxious.

In the end, Hedo Turkoglu, who had no choice but to pull the ball with a simple hand-to-hand pass, barely helped Larry Hughes at the free throw line and created a little shooting space.

There was no time to hesitate, and there was no pause. After receiving the ball, Larry Hughes made a shot directly across Hedo Turkoglu.

"brush!"

Seeing the basketball that finally entered the frame hollow, Larry Hughes, who made a shot at the buzzer at the last moment, wiped off the impure sweat on his head, and let out a soft breath.

After all, Larry Hughes wasn't even sure he could hit the shot just now.

"Oh, it's a bit difficult for the Magic to play this game."

Looking at the Magic who played so hard on the first offense.

As a former top pitcher in the league, Reggie Miller gave the Magic a death notice without hesitation at the beginning of the game.

And when the Eagles attacked, Xu Lang just hit the ground pass after a pick-and-roll to help the Eagles create an offensive opportunity and hit it steadily.

Reggie Miller felt more and more that in this game, the Magic might not be able to continue to perform miraculously as everyone expected.

It's just that the Magic team is a bit strange, or a bit weird.

Although the Magic team stumbled a bit in every subsequent attack, and most of the attacks were completed by pressing the attack time to the last few seconds.

But in the first half of the first quarter, the Magic's overall offensive efficiency remained above 50%.

It may be because of the home bonus, or it may be because the Magic team does have a lot of luck this season.

But no matter what, although the Magic seemed to be stumbling in the first half of the first quarter.

But in terms of score, the Magic are not actually far behind.

At the end of the half quarter, the Eagles only lead the Magic by two points.

And this two-point lead is not a stable lead.

In the next game time of the first quarter, the Eagles have been unable to expand their lead to more than two goals under the reluctant offense of the Magic.

Until the 10th minute of the first quarter, when the two teams began to rotate some main players, the Eagles still only had a three-point lead.

And the most important thing is that the current offensive possession still belongs to the Magic side.

The Magic were attacking, and Kenyon Dooling dribbled the ball through the halfcourt easily under the entanglement of Jose Calderon.

Although Kenyon Dooling felt the defense of Jose Calderon who was facing him, it was not very good.

But obviously, with Dwight Howard still on the court, it is impossible for Kenyon Dooling to play alone with the ball.

Seeing Dwight Howard facing Marc Gasol with his back for the ball, Kenyon Dooling could only suppress his inner desire to attack, and handed the ball to Dwight Howard with a high lob.

Dwight Howard, who got the basketball, started his three-axes attack again.

After catching the ball and exerting strength, he turned frontally, turned back, and continued rough shaking. Dwight Howard saw the opportunity and directly relied on his strong physical fitness to squeeze into the penalty area from the side of Marc Gasol , and then completed a strong shot.

Although Dwight Howard's entire offense seemed very clumsy.

But this is already the most proficient and smoothest way of personal offense with the ball that Dwight Howard has practiced and used in the past four years.

In the past four years, it's not that Dwight Howard hasn't trained with some inside footwork masters.

Including Ewing was also one of Dwight Howard's training teachers.

But it is obvious that Ewing's set of iron-blooded jump shots is placed on Dwight Howard who has no mid-range and long-range shooting ability. It is a bit like making a shot putter play table tennis!
Similarly, because Dwight Howard's style of play is a bit too muscular and not brainy, it also leads to the offensive skills and offensive methods that many fine-skilled centers can use. It's like Zhang Fei playing with embroidery needles, all kinds of out of place!

So after trying and learning, Dwight Howard finally found that this simple, direct, no-brainer singles attack method that only needs to use his physical instincts is the most suitable attack method for him.

After all, with Dwight Howard's own physical talent, such a simple and crude offensive method, not everyone in the league can stop it.

At least one-on-one defense of Dwight Howard's Marc Gasol was not able to block.

Moreover, Marc Gasol not only failed to block Dwight Howard's attack, but also paid for a foul, which allowed him to receive his second foul of the game before the end of the first quarter.

It also gave Dwight Howard, who scored two plus one, a chance to tie the scores of the two teams.

It's just that Dwight Howard's poor free throw ability makes him often the target of a famous scene in a domestic TV series.

"Give you a chance, you are useless!"

The sound of hammering iron, and Dwight Howard who was far from the free throw line and couldn't grab the rebound in time.

All let the Eagles easily use a quick free throw rebound to counterattack and re-extend their lead to three points.

Then, in the following game time of more than a minute, Dwight Howard also had a few bright and strong performances.

But it has not been able to close the score gap between the two teams again.

In the end, until the end of the first quarter, the Eagles still entered the second quarter with a three-point lead.

At the start of the second quarter, Mike Woodson and Van Gundy watched each other replace their starting centers, that is, Marc Gasol and Dwight Howard, on the court during the rotation time.

One side showed such a smile as expected, while the other side's face suddenly became melancholy.

Mike Woodson chose to replace Marc Gasol on the field as soon as the rotation time came up, more because he wanted Marc Gasol to better display his personal strength and passing ability during the rotation time .

At the same time, it also allows Marc Gasol to avoid Dwight Howard a little bit during playing time.

After all, Marc Gasol, who has already committed two fouls, is very likely to be called into a foul crisis against Dwight Howard, who has home court advantage in this game.

After all, in the first two games without home court advantage, Marc Gasol committed five fouls in one game and four fouls in one game.

On Van Gundy's side, Dwight Howard will be replaced in the rotation time. In fact, there is a gamble that Marc Gasol may play, and Dwight Howard will play the whole game in a desperate manner in this game. intended.

Now it seems that Van Gundy made the right bet, and Dwight Howard did not waste the opportunity that Van Gundy helped him create.

Just in the second minute of the second quarter, Dwight Howard once again grabbed an offensive rebound and caused Marc Gasol's third foul of the game.

Marc Gasol's defense may not be too strong, but it is not so bad.

At least not to be fouled three times in a little more than one quarter of the game.

It can only be said that as Marc Gasol played too high in the last game, Marc Gasol's self-confidence on the defensive end was a bit too high in this game.

Coupled with the fact that this game was played at the home court of the Magic, Marc Gasol, who had not been able to adjust his mentality, suffered a lot.

Looking at it, Marc Gasol was still a little excited and glared at the referee.

Xu Lang, who originally wanted to go forward to comfort Marc Gasol, could only go forward and give him a high five and pat him on the back.

Although Marc Gaso still looked annoyed after he left the field, he was not depressed or lost.

After all, after the last game, Marc Gasol already knew very clearly that he should not compete and compare with the opponent's best field in the field he is not good at!
And back to this game, after Marc Gasol was played off by Dwight Howard, Mike Woodson didn't panic either.

After all, the Eagles this season are much better than last season in terms of interior reserves.

Then Kendrick Perkins, whose weight began to develop horizontally this season, dangled his belly full of fat, and disgusted Dwight Howard on the court.

Dwight Howard's defensive strength is worthy of recognition, but Dwight Howard has always been a bit powerless when defending super-heavy centers.

Even O'Neal, who is 35 years old this season and whose personal strength rating has fallen below 90, can play a very good offensive performance against Dwight Howard.

The reason is that Dwight Howard's legs are not strong enough to withstand the low-post attack of a large-tonnage power center when he has obtained high mobility.

And Perkins is such a player.

This season, Kendrick Perkins, whose weight has increased to 130kg, hits twice directly after receiving the ball, pushing away Dwight Howard's defensive position, and then Perkins, who gained the offensive space, directly made a lightweight The small hook hit the board.

In fact, this is the only stable offensive method Kendrick Perkins has.

Especially when facing a high-level defensive player like Dwight Howard.Except for such a small hook, Kendrick Perkins' other offensive methods are difficult to guarantee a good enough offensive efficiency.

But it was such a small hook that made Dwight Howard want to die.

And despite Kendrick Perkins' high weight, his inside offensive footwork, short-distance physical flexibility and explosive power are all no worse than Dwight Howard.

Even in terms of offensive footwork, Kendrick Perkins can be a teacher to Dwight Howard.

Therefore, under the performance of Kendrick Perkins, although Dwight Howard played Marc Gasol off the court at the beginning.

However, during the rotation time in the first half of the second quarter, it failed to lead the Magic to complete the lead in the score.

Of course, Dwight Howard's overall strength is stronger than Perkins after all, and his influence on the game is also much greater than Kendrick Perkins.

Therefore, although the Magic did not rely on Dwight Howard's personal performance to overtake the score during the rotation time, they also shortened the Eagles' lead to one point when the starting lineups of the two teams returned to the game.

And the high-intensity offensive and defensive confrontation with Dwight Howard for 4 consecutive minutes also exhausted Kendrick Perkins' energy seriously!
Therefore, after the rotation time ended, Kendrick Perkins was also panted and replaced off the court.

Physical ability is an obvious shortcoming of lateral development Kendrick Perkins.

Like Yao Ming, who weighs almost 150kg now, Kendrick Perkins is also difficult to carry out long-term high-intensity confrontation.
