Chapter 326 As stable as if they had lost something

"Hey, today's game should be stable, right?"

Jon McGilton and his companions went to have some snacks to cushion their stomachs before returning to their seats. The game had not yet started, and the chat among them was relatively relaxed.

In fact, it's not just him, the McGilton family is here today, but he knows that his friends who play ball with him on weekdays will also come to watch the game. The teenager who is at a rebellious age naturally chooses to go with his friends and let his parents

With my sister, my brother is on the other side.

A chubby kid chuckled and said, "LI will not disappoint. I knew he would definitely be able to fight back. That guy Kevin actually betrayed us to support Los Angeles. After the game is over, I must treat him well."

Let’s show it off in front of you.”

The tall and thin man with glasses asked: "Jon, I heard that LI no longer lives next door to your house, so you won't be neighbors in the future, right?"

This statement made everyone else look over, and Jon immediately defended: "Of course not, LI still lives there, but every time Amy Adams comes over, he will go to accompany her..."

"Wow, I like Amy so much, and I like LI too. When two people I like are together, they should be twice as happy. Why?"

Snap!

“Okay, stop talking, the game begins—Let’s Go Magic!”

“Let’s Go Magic!”

As the second half of the game begins, everyone is looking forward to the third quarter, because it is likely to determine the direction of the game.

If the Magic still maintain their strength and even widen the point difference in this quarter, then the Lakers are likely to have lost their momentum and this game will be over; but if the Lakers can play a super wave, or even just maintain the balance, slowly

If we slowly narrow the point difference, we still have to play in the fourth quarter.

However, the two teams were in a round system. First, the Lakers played a 7-0 wave. Fisher and Kobe each scored a three-pointer. Gasol made two free throws to bring the score to single digits.

Then the Magic responded with an 8:2 score. The Lakers had several consecutive offensive disadvantages, but the Magic quickly counterattacked and only relied on Gasol's mid-range shot to score two points.

The better news for the Lakers in the second half is that maybe Kobe Bryant gave him a shot of blood during the halftime break, and Gasol's condition returned a bit. Although he only scored 3 points, regardless of the screen,

He did a good job in supporting and rebounding, and he didn't fall behind when facing Howard.

The bad news is that the Magic did not relax their vigilance and even seemed tighter than in the first half. The defensive intensity even increased. Even Lewis was focused enough to keep up with the interference every time.

In the first half of the quarter, a balance of power was indeed maintained on the scene.

But this was not good news for the Lakers. Sure enough, they entered the rotation stage, and the Magic, under the leadership of Li Chengming, began to exert force again.

He first caused a foul on Odom with a one-step jumper inside the three-point line. After making two free throws, the defensive end caused an offensive foul on Odom. The Magic team changed the ball and Nelson hit a three-pointer.

This was his first three-pointer of the game, but it was the Magic's 10th three-pointer.

In this game, they currently made 10 of 22 three-pointers, which is quite efficient.

Then the Lakers finally hit a mid-range shot by Vujacic, but then the Magic scored another three-pointer. This time it was Turkoglu who received a pass from Li Chengming and hit an open shot from the outside.

As a result, the score difference actually reached 20 points, and Phil Jackson had to call a timeout at this time.

Director Zhang smiled and said: "Compared to the last game, the Magic team really has a completely new look. It doesn't feel like the same team. The Lakers must consider whether their defense needs to expand. Today the Magic team made so many three-pointers."

It's accurate, but the inside line still doesn't dare to let go.

"This is actually for them to choose between two glasses of poisonous wine. No matter which one they drink, they will die. One will die quickly, the other will die slowly..."

Sun Zhengping also said: "The Lakers' defense is still much worse than Green Kai. At least Green Kai can limit the Magic's outside performance, unless it is Li Chengming's three-point explosion that cannot be stopped. The Lakers can only limit it both internally and externally.

In part, the result is that the Magic are playing both sides. Now even if they want to defend one side, they may not be able to defend it."

After the timeout, the Lakers first hit a three-pointer from Farmar. The Magic made a passing error. Vujacic passed the ball to the frontcourt and Walton hit a 1-on-0 layup in the frontcourt.

But soon, the Magic hit a 9:1 spurt when Kobe and Gasol were off the court. By the end of the third quarter, the Magic maintained a 20+ lead at 73:95.

Entering the fourth quarter.

At this time, everyone understood that the Lakers' situation was over, and the Magic were bound to tie the series at 1:1.

However, Van Gundy still didn't dare to be careless. After the last game, he also reflected on himself. There were problems with the players' condition, but he also had problems as a head coach, especially when he might finally reach the finals.

, accomplished what he had failed to do before leading the Heat.

In those days, his mind was filled with the feeling of being proud and proud, and he didn't even make strategic arrangements properly. He just wanted to show his old club that he was doing better than them now, but he got a slap in the face.

Needless to say, losing the first game is not without benefits. At least now, they don't dare to have any playful mentality. Even though they are already leading by a big score, they have not relaxed at all.

The Lakers didn't seem to give up that easily. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, they wanted to try again. Kobe, Odom, and Fisher were all on the court, but the result was that they really made some waves.

Kobe found Nelson's misplaced post-ups and hit consecutive hits. After attracting the defense, he assisted his teammates for two three-pointers. The Lakers had a 10:2 spurt.

But then the Magic stabilized their position, and the point difference widened to 18 points after half a quarter. After that, the main players of the two teams came one after another, and the stalemate lasted for more than three minutes. Seeing that they could not get back, the Lakers chose to call it quits. After the Magic

All the main players were also replaced.

In the final garbage time, the Lakers also replaced Ariza.

This was traded from the Magic during the season, but he did not get too many playing opportunities with the Lakers. A very important reason is that his shooting is unstable. Otherwise, with his height, size and defensive ability, he should be able to play in the Lakers.

Taking up a place in the rotation.

After coming on the field, Ariza seemed to want to prove to his old club. He first completed a steal, a fast break gliding dunk, and then hit an outside three-pointer, but it was too late.

What he faced was just the Magic's third lineup, and he himself was also just a water-cooler lineup. And since the overall situation was decided and the Magic were a bit messy, it didn't explain much of the problem.

But for the Lakers, they have to go back and review the problems in this game. Although there are too many problems, it may not be possible to complete the review.

As the ESPN commentator said after the game, "What we should consider now is whether the performance in this game is normal for the Magic. In fact, after watching the Magic's previous series, I think everyone should have the answer. In this case,

Maybe we need to worry about how many more games the Lakers can sustain?"
