Chapter 985 What to Do



In the end, the score between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Orlando Magic was fixed at a gap of 120 to 93, 31 points, and this was after entering garbage time, and the Orlando Magic's bench lineup caught up a little bit.

Stephen's final statistics are 43 points, [-] rebounds, [-] assists, [-] steals and [-] block. This is still the third quarter and only half of the fourth quarter. data will be higher.

43 points is not a high score for Stephen, but it is not low, because after the playoffs, his average personal score has improved significantly, but it is still relatively rare for him to get three points. Because Stephen is a scorer after all, he doesn't pursue comprehensiveness, he doesn't care too much about statistics, and he doesn't deliberately get any statistics. Getting this triple-double is purely a surprise.

Michael Jordan also had the experience of winning consecutive triple-doubles against others, but it was not very good for the team, and it was only the regular season, but this was the finals. When it was not a time of fighting spirit, Stephen seldom fought against others This idleness, because no one deserves him to go there.

After easily defeating the Orlando Magic, the Sonics received great praise after the game. In the finals, the highest level of the arena, a score difference of more than 70.00 points cannot be said to be unique, but it is also extremely rare. Rare, a rare existence, the sound of the Sonics sweeping the Orlando Magic came out like bamboo shoots after a rain, and almost everyone believed that although this was not the most disparity in strength in history The Finals, but it's about the same. The Sonics have more than [-]% chance of sweeping their opponents. [

In the past, there was a 70.00% possibility of defeating the opponent and winning the championship. Now it has been upgraded to a sweep. I have to say that this is a great compliment to the Sonics. Over the years in the league, there have been only eight sweeps in the finals. Among them, the Lakers were swept four times, one of which was in the distant Minneapolis era, but the Los Angeles Lakers also completed a sweep on the New Jersey Nets, and the closest one was the year before last, when Stephen personally participated The San Antonio Spurs sweep the Cleveland Cavaliers.

And this season, the Supersonics team is considered to be very likely to stage a miracle in the finals for the ninth time. Seeing such news, the fans of the Supersonics team are naturally very happy, but the fans of the Magic team But very angry.

The reason why the media likes to fuel the flames so much is firstly to attract attention, and secondly to arouse the anger of both sides and make the game more attractive. This kind of sweeping topic will not only make the Supersonics look down on their opponents even more , it can also make the Magic play harder, and the game will be more suspenseful after one round and one round. Otherwise, if the four games are like the first game, there will be no meaning at all, because apart from Sonics fans, no one likes a game like this.

Since the two sides will play the second game in Seattle, the Orlando Magic will naturally stay in Seattle. After seeing such reports, they are naturally very angry. They have worked so hard to get here One step, they put in a lot of effort, but now they are so underestimated, as if they made it to the finals to serve as the background for the Sonics, so they are naturally very angry.

Not to mention, this kind of background is still permanently recorded in history, which makes people feel even more shameful. The atmosphere of Orlando Magic's frustration because of the loss was suddenly swept away, and everyone was saddened with the sadness of breaking the boat. With the courage to unite as one, we waited for the arrival of the second battle.

Naturally, the Supersonics didn't respond. They were already confident enough to defeat their opponents. As for whether to sweep or not, it didn't matter much. While continuing to train, the coaching staff was also analyzing the previous game. The key to success is to first open up the situation on the inside, and then naturally open up the outside, and if you have an advantage at the basket, you can also maintain rebounds, and the three-point tactics will not be so lethal. The inside line has a huge advantage, which is the key to winning the game, and Stephen didn't play much of a personal role in it.

Who would have thought that a team with the league's best team and the best defensive team's center would be at a disadvantage on the inside line, but in the regular season, Dwight Howard, who is majestic and majestic, faced Yao Ming. Duan was completely defeated by his opponent. He made [-] of [-] shots in the whole game and scored double-digit points only by free throws. This is because the referee gave him so many free throws under the care of the referee. Otherwise, he would not even get [-] points. , and in terms of defense that he is best at, Dwight Howard also lost to his opponent in an all-round way.

He only grabbed eight rebounds in the whole game, while Yao Ming grabbed eleven rebounds alone, while Coupard grabbed six rebounds, Sergi Ilka grabbed seven rebounds, and it can be said that in Orlando When the Magic encountered hand feeling problems, the biggest beneficiary was actually the SuperSonics, because they took all the rebounds. With the rebounds, there were so many counterattack opportunities. At the same time, Dwight Howard only had two blocks. Income, and Yao Ming also blocked two shots.

The offense is weak, and the defense is not good. Looking at Dwight Howard like this, I really don’t know what to say. In fact, this is determined by Dwight Howard’s technical characteristics. There have been rumors before that the insider wins the world. This insider refers to players who can stand up to the basket. Only such players can support a system, and Dwight Howard can't provide the team with a modeled offense.

In defense, although Dwight Howard can still be regarded as an inside ball player when facing other teams, although the offense is not very good, the defense can still be defended, but in the finals with Yao Ming. It's far worse than that.

Yao Ming's defense is not particularly good, but it is above the passing line anyway, and Dwight Howard is not only unqualified in offense, but even defense is not at the top level.

Yao Ming's defense is not considered a defect, at most it can be regarded as a weak link, but as for Dwight Howard, his offense is already regarded as a defect, and his defense also has obvious loopholes. This is Dwight Howard's biggest problem.

Since the biggest problem for the Magic is the inside, they should play more inside. The Sonics did not let the opponent go just because the opponent was weak, but took advantage of the victory and continued to play the inside of the Magic.

Two days passed quickly, and the second game began. From the beginning, the Sonics attacked Dwight Howard just like the last game, especially Yao Ming's state in this game The last game was even better, but the Magic also made adjustments in this game, sending Marcin Gottt up to protect Dwight Howard, and withdrawing Courtney Lee from the starting lineup. The average lineup is taller than the Sonics.

But even with Marcin Gortat, the Orlando Magic still didn't take advantage of it, because if Marcin Gortat puts his defensive attention on Yao Ming, Kurt Thomas can't take care of it. , and Kurt Thomas, although his physical fitness has declined rapidly as he ages, but his shooting skills have not declined, so Marcin Gortat can only help Dwight Howard defend and relieve Dwight Howard's defensive pressure.

As for the offense, the Orlando Magic also made adjustments, allowing Marcin Gortat to block for Dwight Howard, so that Dwight Howard would have room to jump. A few scored, but Yao Ming's performance is still much better than Dwight Howard's in comparison.

The supersonics are still leading like last time, but the lead is not as big as the previous game, the orlando magic has strengthened their defense and become more targeted, but it is still not enough to lead the supersonics , If this continues, you will still lose the game. What should I do? Stan Van Gundy looked at the players sitting on the bench, who should be replaced?
