The Nuggets' game continued the same style of play as the previous game, and the main purpose of the tactics was still to cut off the connection between Howard and the outside shooters.

Moreover, don't think that the Nuggets will speed up if Yi Jianlian is replaced.

On the contrary, after Yi Jianlian came on the field in place of Mason, the Nuggets' pace in this game was even faster than in the previous game.

For the Magic shooters, they will be extremely happy if someone is willing to play against them in the regular season.

A faster pace means more shooting opportunities, better data, and bigger contracts.

But now it’s the finals!

Winning is the only goal. Even if you only score one point in the game and the team can win, it is better than losing if you score 50 points.

Nelson received a pass from Turkoglu and forced a shot against Billups.

There is no way, there is not enough time.

He performed at the peak of his career this season, shooting 45% from three-point range during the regular season.

It's just that the ball only touched the basket a little and then bounced to the side.

After all, it was Billups who was guarding him.

Nelson is only 1.83 meters tall, which is also short for the point guard position.

Billups is 1.91 meters tall, and he is born with defensive genes in his bones.

There's nothing I can do about it, he came from the Pistons.

Li Ran jumped out quickly, grabbed the defensive rebound before Howard, and then rushed forward with the ball.

The Sparks had tried their best to get back on defense, and the other Magic players were also running faster than the last one.

But it's no use.

After Li Ran entered the three-point line, he passed the ball to Billups who was already standing on the wing.

Because the Magic players who were returning to defense were already standing in front of him eagerly, waiting for him...

Billups took a shot from outside the three-point line and hit it steadily.

This offense and defense completely established the Nuggets' advantage, and the Magic fell behind again.

Behind Lewis, who was running without the ball, Arab League was chasing after him with long strides.

The reason why the Nuggets were able to go more smoothly in this game than in the previous game was that the UAE's attitude was a very important factor.

He cherishes the opportunity of this finals very much and works very hard on both offense and defense.

Compared with Anthony, A Lian's defensive effect on Lewis is obviously better. The two are similar in all aspects.

Li Ran has always believed that Lewis is the upper limit of the UAE in the league.

Anthony returns to the third position, and there is no problem in handling the Turkish forward.

His current status with the Nuggets is somewhat like the king of poker.

He is reluctant to take action easily, and as long as he takes action, he will play better than any opponent's cards.

In the past two seasons, Anthony's offensive skills have become more perfect, and his scoring ability is undoubtedly the best in the league.

Just in terms of defense, everyone knows this.

In terms of talents needed for defense, Anthony has everything he should have, but what does that say?

The most important thing about defense is attitude.

Unfortunately, for Anthony, he obviously puts more energy into the offensive end than the defensive end.

Fortunately, Li Ran wiped his butt.

Statistics show that Li Ran has made a great contribution to the Nuggets' offense and defense this season, especially the defense.

When he was off the court, the Nuggets' defensive efficiency was 106.5, but when he was on the court, that number became 98.7.

This means that when Li Ran is on the court, the Nuggets lose a full 8 points per 100 possessions.

Otherwise, George Karl wouldn't dare to boldly move him to the fifth position.

In this game, Li Ran's strategy against Howard was still very three-dimensional.

Li Ran used every method he could to go around, defend, double-team, and draw fouls.

Sparks' brain capacity obviously does not allow him to understand Li Ran's complex and diverse defensive methods. His favorite thing is to wrestle with others and then throw the ball to the basket with a discus-like hook.

Or eat pie. As a famous pie striker in the league, Spark's ability to eat pie is unparalleled.

But the Magic lack a passing master like Paul or Nash, and the passing abilities of Nelson and Turkoglu are not enough to turn alley-oops into a regular offensive method for the Magic.

In the second game, as the game progressed, the Magic's disadvantage grew again.

The Spark's statistics are still rising steadily. At the end of the half, he scored another 23 points. In this game, his score reached 40 points.

But the Magic are still 11 points behind.

The Magic know that passing all the balls to Howard is a waste of time, but they only have this option.

If they don't fight like this, they will collapse faster.

Sparks blocked Li Ran's position, grabbed the offensive rebound, and dunked the ball in the air without even landing.

After landing, Sparks was very excited and ran towards the backcourt with his mouth wide open.

Li Ran shook his head.

With this mentality, this guy is lucky to be able to reach the finals as the core of the team.

Although the lack of strength in the lower body is his biggest shortcoming, it is not an excuse for his inability to develop low-post skills.

Both Ewing and Olajuwon taught him low post skills, but he just couldn't develop them.

This is how he plays purely on talent, which directly leads to a back injury and makes him disappear from everyone overnight.

In Li Ran's view, the real talent should be someone like O'Neal, with invincible strength, proficient low-post skills, and a durable body.

Looking at the four major centers, which one does not meet all the above conditions at the same time?

This series can be said to be the most tiring for Li Ran, but the easiest for the Nuggets.

O'Neal was wearing a suit and sitting on the sidelines with a cane to cheer on his teammates.

He also had a hunch that his fifth championship wouldn't be too far away.

Although he couldn't play in the finals, he did contribute to the team in the playoffs, right?

The old shark can take this ring with peace of mind.

In the second game, the Nuggets still won without any surprises, and Howard still scored high points, but the Magic, who were disconnected from inside and outside, had no way to compete with the Nuggets.

Howard had 37 points, 18 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks in this game, but his opponent Li Ran was not far behind. Li Ran's three-pointers in this game were ridiculously accurate, making 6 of 8 shots, plus 7 of 13 on two-pointers.

He also scored 37 points and 5 of 5 free throws, and also recorded 16 rebounds. Judging from the statistics, they are those of a standard big center. Center Li lives up to his reputation.

Seeing Li Ran's data, Van Gundy's face darkened.

If you continue to play like this, even the only opponent with an advantage will no longer have an advantage.

The Magic returned to Orlando with a score of 0-2. They had reached the edge of the cliff. If they could not regain a victory at their home court, the score of 0-3 would have declared their failure.

After all, even in the era when Li Ran traveled back in time, there was no precedent for the league to come back from a 0-3 deficit.

George Karl still hasn't changed his lineup, but the Nuggets lost the first game in Orlando.

However, although the Nuggets lost this game, no one thought that there would be any changes in the final result of this series.

This is because the Magic simply cannot play another game like G3.
