Chapter 807
Looking back, the Magic wanted to create shooting opportunities for Ibaka, but the Thunder's Ilyasova started to stick to the defense without the ball, going around the front and half around the front to limit opponents from receiving the ball.
The ball was in the hands of Jeff Green on the wing. He singled the pickled peppers and hit the iron with a jumper!
Xie Kai accepted the rebound, pushed forward by himself, and suddenly made a through ball - the ball landed in the hands of Westbrook who was about to come down!
Westbrook catches the ball and takes off-hands abuse the frame!
Bang——The basket vibrated violently, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles made a big move!
The passion of the Thunder fans in the stands was instantly ignited...
Thank you for connecting with Westbrook!The ball was too fast, from Xie Kai receiving the basket to Westbrook passing the frontcourt, the round of offense ended within 5 seconds!
At 6:4, the Thunder are still 2 points behind, but their momentum is fully up!
Wang Meng said with a smile: "Hey, it's really amazing, it's amazing! These two were teammates in middle school. There is no doubt about the tacit understanding. I am looking forward to seeing more connections. It is really cool to watch ah!"
Yang Yi said: "Wang Meng, do you know the name of Xie Kai and Westbrook's combination on the Internet?"
Wang Meng became interested: "I know, it's called 'appetizing combination'! Hahaha, it's really funny!"
Yang Yi nodded and said with a smile: "If you have an appetizer, you will eat more and you will have the strength to win."
On the Magic side, Payton dribbled the ball and gave it to Fournier on the left.
Fournier passes the ball to Vucevic in the low post.
Vucevic hit a duck egg, and after being assisted in the defense, he scored Ibaka near the free throw line!
Ibaka's jump shot is interfered by Ilyasova - hit the iron!
Westbrook flew to accept the rebound, and pushed directly to counterattack!
Xie Kai, Pickled Pepper, go straight to fast attack!
Westbrook points up front and thanks!
After Xie Kai changed direction and passed Fournier, he threw the ball into the air with one hand!
The ball passed over Jeff Green's defense, and the pickled pepper alley-oop succeeded here!
Wow--
The cheers from the Ford Center arena are even more enthusiastic!
6:6, the two sides draw!
This time it was the Magic's turn to suspend. Coach Vogel was a little helpless holding the tactical board.The opponent's talent is too good, and the Big Three are "press the gourd and lift it up", which is very difficult to deal with.
And this is in the opponent's home field, if one is not careful, the opponent will not be able to hold down the pressure.
Pause back, the game continues.
On the Magic side, Vucevic's personal offense and Ibaka's mid-range are still the main focus.On the Thunder's side, they are fighting against the Big Three.
The scores of the two sides took the lead alternately. Halfway through the first quarter, Xie Kai and Paojiao were replaced.
Coach Vogel also wants to build the Pacers' defensive system with the Magic, but his defensive system relies heavily on the 5th position.A big man with excellent defense is needed, and the team's current main center Vucevic is a European center with strong offense and weak defense. Ibaka at the 4th position is excellent in defense, but it is much worse than when he was in the Thunder. up.On the bench sits a Biyombo with great defensive potential, but this character has poor defensive habits and tends to be stabbing. It takes time to build a system.
Everyone's offense played well in this game, leading the score alternately. At the end of the first quarter, Xie Kai and Paojiao were sent to play again.
At this time, the score on the court was 20:21, and the Thunder at home were 1 point behind.
The Magic's second team consists of DJ Augustin, Aaron Gordon, Fournier, Biyombo and CJ Watson.
Xie Kai dribbled over, and DJ Augustin was defending him.
Speaking of which, Augustin is a rookie in the same class as Xie Kai and Westbrook. He graduated from the University of Texas and was once a super football player in the limelight in college.In the 2007-08 season, he appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated with Joseph Jones and was selected by the National Collegiate Sports Information Bureau All-American First Team.
In the 2008 draft, Augustin was selected by the Bobcats with the 9th pick in the first round and entered the NBA.
Who knew that with such a high starting point, he would become a wandering player in the following years, and was even cut off at one point, almost without the ball to play.
Augustin's problem is the same as that of many NCAA players. He is only 183cm tall, with a short wingspan and average athletic ability.In the NCAA, this kind of physical fitness did not make him suffer much, but in the NBA, there are too many animals here, and he has no unique skills, so when he does not have the ability to become a core player, he may not be as good as a role player. Those players with one trick are good, which is a bit embarrassing.
So after these seasons, Augustin's position is a team's backup point guard. Few teams will let him play the starting point guard, even for weak teams.
There is a big gap between Augustin's height and Xie Kai, so he uses post defense to limit the opponent's shots and avoid being shot.
Xie Kai didn't want to cover, used his body and excellent ball-handling skills to protect the ball, and passed the ball over the opponent's head to Kanter in the low post!
Kanter held high and hit high, leaning on Biyombo, and made a hook shot-hit the board!
22:21, the Thunder lead by 1 points!
Wang Meng laughed and said, "Xie Kai passed the ball over Augustine's head, really bullying him for not being tall enough!"
Yang Yi said: "It's like this in the NBA. The tall ones bully the short ones, the fast ones bully the slow ones, the strong ones bully the thin ones, and the smart ones bully the dumb ones."
For the Magic, CJ Watson misses an outside jumper -- Kanter takes the rebound.
Xie Kai came over with a dribble and distributed it to Pickled Pepper who borrowed the cover!
Pickle used his height to forcibly cast Fournier, who fouled!
Wang Meng sighed: "Fournier got a big contract, and he was targeted by all the players in the NBA!"
Yang Yi smiled and said: "A big contract is not so easy to get. It's okay if you have the strength. If the strength is not close, it's like Fournier. He is actually very good. He can hold the ball or off the ball. If he defends, it is really good." It’s the talent gap, just now he was paid by Xie Kai, but now he is forced by Paul George, there is no way, the team lacks rotation on the wing.”
Pickle made two free throws and the Thunder led 23:21!
On the Magic side, Aaron Gordon held the ball and forcibly hit Jeremy Grant.
Aaron Gordon graduated from the University of Arizona and was selected by the Magic with the 2014th overall pick in the first round of the 4 draft.
It has been more than two seasons since he entered the league, and the most impressive thing about Gordon is the dunk matchup between him and LaVine in the 2 All-Star Game.
For him, the No. 4 pick, such a memory is embarrassing, because the team's expectation of him is not just to be a dunker.Even the original slam dunk king Gelifen was transformed into a point forward.
Gordon's physical fitness is very good, but his problems are also obvious. As a swing forward in the 3/4 position, he can jump and dunk, but he lacks firepower from the outside and does not have a strong finishing ability when attacking with the ball. I feel that watching him play, the whole person is a little stiff.
It is difficult for a striker who cannot destroy the opponent's defensive formation to become an All-Star or even a superstar. If he wants to go further, he must enrich his offensive methods, either develop outside shooting, or develop the ability to hold the ball, or stay There will not be so much time for him.
