Chapter 243 Weak attack

At this time, Lewis returned to the court, and the Magic team switched to another offensive mode. The four players looked for opportunities through outside pulls and screen cuts, helping Li Chengming clear one side for him to play in singles.

With Turkoglu and a point guard on the court at the same time, they can control the ball and determine the transfer of the ball. Moreover, this method can often create open opportunities under the basket. As long as the opponent fails to keep up, the pass is a success.

Attack, and even have a chance to score 2+1.

Of course, the most important thing is Li Chengming's position. With his ability to attract double-teams and deliver the ball in time, he can spot his teammates' opportunities in an instant and tear open the opponent's defense.

His passing has become more and more stable and sharp. Before the playoffs, he also exchanged for a "Eagle Eye" skill, just to increase his vision and instant judgment, and the effect is naturally incredible.

In the last minute and a half of the first quarter, the Magic used this to score a 7:1 score. The Cavaliers only relied on Pavlovic's foul on Li Chengming and made one of two free throws to score 1 point.

By the end of the first quarter, the Magic had led by 9 points, which made the home fans very excited.

Since entering the playoffs, every game at the Amway Center has been full, and ticket prices have hit record highs. Originally, the ticket prices were only in the middle of the league, but now they are approaching the upper reaches of the league.

NBA home ticket prices are not static, but will change based on various factors, mainly based on their appeal to fans.

For example, the Bucks' normal attendance rate is 80-90%, but combined with the ticket prices, it seems very shabby.

This season, especially in the second half of the season, the Magic have experienced two surges in home ticket prices due to the team's excellent performance. After passing the first round of the playoffs, their opponent in the second round is still the Cavaliers.

The home fans are even more excited, so the price increase is a natural thing.

Of course, it can't compare with places like Los Angeles and New York, but among the current playoff teams, they are at least in the middle.

If it continues, it may reach an unimaginable level by the finals.

This is also a major benefit for the team to enter the playoffs. The ticket revenue for a home game is very considerable, and the further you go, the more you earn.

After all, they may have to face pressure to renew Li Chengming's contract early next season. It is always good for them to make more money.

The score in the first quarter was 18:27. Except for the Magic's 7 points in the last minute or so, the Magic's 20 points in the first ten minutes were a bit evenly matched with the Cavaliers.

Director Zhang from the CCTV commentary box said with a smile: "The offensive efficiency of the two teams in the first quarter was actually not high. The Magic only played an efficient offense in the last minute or so. They all used Li Chengming's containment power to increase the efficiency of the attack."

The opportunity for the opponent's defense to expand outside and get an unguarded opportunity at the basket."

Yoga added: "This is actually a reflection of the strength gap between the two teams. The Cavaliers' defensive strategy is right. If they can't let Li Chengming open, they can only bet that after the ball is passed, other Magic players can't play.

Enter.

"However, the Magic also know this, so they have increased the players' ball-passing and off-ball screen movements and air cuts. This type of offense has high risks and high returns. The Cavaliers' defense is too tilted to the outside.

So after the ball was passed to the basket, they definitely didn't have time to return to defense."

Director Zhang also said: "Actually, the defense of the first section of the two teams has achieved the effects they want. The biggest thing about the Cavaliers is the attack. In the case of James, other teammates have not been able to stand up.

"But James's projection is a big problem. If it is Kobe, you dare to let me shot and I vote directly. I will never break through the defensive trap that falls into the opposite side.

Okay directly ... "

Some knights (James) fans directly pressed their mute, at least make themselves more comfortable.

However, I ca n’t hear the sound. The screen can still be seen. After the second quarter continues, the Cavaliers' offense still does not improve. In the end, it turned into a single of the big Z.

Director Zhang only said that the other people of the Cavaliers could not stand up. At this time, the Big Z relying on a few tough singles, telling everyone that he still has strength.

It is just that the efficiency is not high and the lethality is not strong enough. It is completely acceptable for the magic team, and it is not enough to change their defensive strategy.

Just let you fight slowly, can you still explode alone?

The reason why Mike Brown has achieved good results in the past two years is still very criticized, because in many people, especially in James fans, he has no real skills at all.

The team is led by James. His contribution is also his credit. What is the head of the head coach?

On the contrary, the Knights have declined this season. This is that the manager's transaction has not been done well, and the state of the teammates has also declined. It has nothing to do with James.

Anyway, Zhanxu ...

Of course, although Mike Brown is not so embarrassed, there are still two brushes in the training defense, but I do n’t know if it is because of the lineup configuration, or it really has no idea.

Good change.

It was not obvious in the regular season, because at that time, James could use his breakthrough to drive teammates. Under the premise of a low -strength game, others were more suitable for play.

But in the playoffs, let alone projection and fight against these objective external reasons. The disadvantages of the players themselves have been exposed.

In the second quarter, it was more than two minutes. Instead of the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers were not able to get closer to the score, but they were also opened to dual digits. This is still not much high in the magic today's offensive efficiency.

It may be really rest for too long. Even the most stable Howard, Li Chengming seemed to have some hands.

I do n’t know if it ’s James or Mike Brown who ca n’t stand it first. After the suspension, the Cavaliers will immediately return to James who had just rest for more than three minutes.

James's physical fitness has always been commendable. Not only because of his physical strength, the explosive power and even the speed are amazing, but also his abundant physical strength, which can support him to focus on a 40 -minute game.

Of course, the distribution of physical strength is still very important. Even if James is James, it is impossible to run the ball hard, so it is estimated that he has no physical strength without waiting for the fourth quarter.

So this time he returned, and took a period of time for a while to see the effect, so that Durndy West to hold the ball.

West is a dual -capable guard. The ball control and projection are good. The first step of the breakthrough is fast. The key is that he is strong, and he is not afraid of confrontation in the inside.

The most annoying thing about the Magic's guards is actually this type of guard, because they are also not afraid of confrontation, but they often can't keep up in terms of speed, not to mention West's offensive rhythm is also good.

However, West's touch was not very good today. He failed to hit any of his two shots in the first quarter. This time, he missed both of his shots.

The Magic often use point guard-less lineups in the transition period of the rotation. The one who dominates the ball is either Turkoglu or Lee, so Arroyo is gradually marginalized.

In fact, Arroyo's performance has not been very good since returning from that injury. When Turkoglu was injured, Van Gundy gave him opportunities, but he did not seize them.

Entering the playoffs, he won't have many opportunities to perform, especially now that Li Chengming has also increased his ball-handling scenes. Arroyo's role has gradually become irrelevant, and his shooting does not support him too much.

Appear.

It is estimated that the Magic will not renew his contract next season.
