37. Cut Z tactics

With two big hats in succession, the Warriors' momentum immediately rose.

The arena is like a battlefield, and morale is very strange. If you believe in it, you will be invincible with its help; but if you don’t believe in this thing, then it is dispensable.

But a champion team attaches great importance to morale. Some people call it "team soul", such as the Celtics' Celtics' and the Lakers' Purple Gold Soul.

Chamberlain's tough attitude demonstrated in the interior represents the direction of the Warriors' morale development. They are a group of tough guys, and no matter what they encounter, they will be mighty and unyielding.

Once the momentum is played out, the game becomes one-sided. In the remaining games in the first quarter, the Warriors are getting braver and braver, which makes the fans in the Amway Center Arena lose their voices!

First, Ellis stole the ball from Howard to Chamberlain alone, dribbled the ball and quickly broke into the frontcourt, stepped into the three-point line and made a quick stop jump shot with a happy jump shot, hitting two points, thus washing away Howard's blocking humiliation.

Then Tkoglu missed the long shot, Chamberlain easily grabbed the rebound, and a group of birdies from the Warriors launched a fast break again. Chamberlain made a long pass throughout the game and accurately delivered the ball to Jackson. The Martial Saint got the ball and took Tkoglu to a slash dunk, which made it 2+1.

The success of this ball made Jackson feel excited. He even returned to the half to give Chamberlain a chest-matching ceremony.

The Warriors' morale was so strong that Da Fan was disgraced. As soon as Jackson scored the ball, he immediately asked for a timeout.

Dafan is still very good at studying tactics. After the timeout, Howard and Nelson Jr. made a pick-and-roll. Nelson Jr. broke through Chamberlain, attracted the latter's attention and then made an air relay with Howard. Howard finally got dumplings, and after dunking, he kept slapped his chest, which was inexplicably excited.

As a result, ten seconds later, Ellis broke into the penalty area and attracted Howard's defense, threw the ball on the rebound, and Chamberlain also made a dunk.

From then on, the firepower of both sides was turned on, and they kept shooting from afar, and three-point rain spread all over the world, and of course the sound of ironclads kept ringing.

The reason why both sides kept shooting far was because the penalty area was locked. Chamberlain and Howard were indeed excellent defensive experts. They turned their own penalty area into a no-fly zone. Now the two are really similar. They both have super defense and poor offensive firepower. As long as they leave the acre of three-point land under the basket, the threats of both of them are almost gone. They also know this and focus on defense and defend their team's penalty area.

Seeing that the penalty area cannot be broken through, the players of both teams become shooters, with few attacks on the inside except for fast attacks.

This made the two head coaches very anxious. Old Nelson and Big Fan had extremely bad tempers. Seeing that their subordinates were actually hitting the outside, their eyes turned red: "Attack the inside and hit their penalty area, you must break through their penalty area!"

Who doesn't know that the closer you get to the ring, the easier it is to score? But the problem is that Chamberlain and Howard are also red-eyed now. As long as they rush in, there is a high chance of being directly turned out. Du Lin is a living example. The bloody scene before is very uncomfortable to recall, let alone experience it personally.

After the first quarter, Chamberlain received eight rebounds, all of which were very gold. In addition, he contributed three blocks and six points. Ellis, Azubuk and Jackson passed a ball to him, and he turned it into a score, with amazing efficiency!

Of course, the reason why Chamberlain is so efficient is because he is very sensible. Only when he completely throws away Howard in the open space will he reach out to ask for the ball. Otherwise, with his current attack level, it would be difficult to score under Howard's key defense.

Similarly, Howard was the same. Under Chamberlain's guard, his already rough offensive methods became even more unbearable to witness. He scored more than Chamberlain and scored 7 points, but he lost one rebound, seven rebounds, and only one block was blocked.

Judging from the data, Howard lost, but from the actual perspective, it is almost the same. You should know that Chamberlain is just a rookie, and he is just a little rookie who signed a short contract of ten days. What about Howard? The NBA No. 2004 NBA No. 1 pick, the head of the Magic, and the All-Star Center...

Dafan was quite dissatisfied with his subordinates' performance, so after the start of the second quarter, the Magic changed their tactics and began to play their advantages.

What are the advantages of the Magic? That is, they have a group of high-quality shooters with a range of three-pointers. Whether it is Lewis, Tkoglu, Nelson Jr. or the newly replaced Marcus Evans, they all have good mid-range shooting skills.

So after the start of the second quarter, the Warriors were caught off guard, leading four points from 29:25 in the first quarter, and were tied by the opponent, and tied to 34:34.

The Magic's long-range firecrackers made Old Nelson feel threatened. He did not blindly choose to attack and attack. In fact, he has the confidence, because compared to offense, which coach in the league dares to claim that he is more proficient than Old Nelson?

Old Nelson did not choose to attack with attack, but chose to attack wildly!

Damn, you dare to play small ball tactics in front of me. Da Fan, are you so sad? After four minutes of the second quarter, Old Nelson immediately replaced Chamberlain and Azubuk, replaced by Bidlins and Bellinelli, and restored the standard lineup of small ball tactics last season. Not enough, Davis was missing, which is a pity.

So a wonderful attack battle was staged at the Amway Center. Both sides kept shooting, as if basketball was hot. As long as halftime passed, no one would be willing to put the basketball in their hands for one more second. If there was no shooting opportunity, the game would definitely end within ten seconds.

In this way, the Magic have the advantage, Howard is still there, and the defensive deterrence is still there, but the Warriors have no Chamberlain, and the defensive intensity has suddenly dropped a lot, and the inside line is almost sieve.

At the end of the first half, the Warriors' leading advantage was like Tang Woxue, which disappeared completely, but instead fell behind by a full double digits at 60:72.

The lack of defense made both shooters play in a state, and each of them seemed to have installed missile precise positioning systems on their hands, and the accuracy made Chamberlain drool.

Old Nelson didn't care about the team's double-digit backwardness. Even if the team led the team in the first quarter, he was anxious as if an ant on the lid. As long as the team qualifies for a little mistake, he would curse. But now the team is so much behind, he still smiles all over his face, as if he is very satisfied with the players' performance.

In the midfield, Jackson and his group were all terrified, fearing that Old Nelson would be scolded. As a result, the old man smiled and said with a smile: "Good job, boys, we have to change our tactics in the second half. It's time for Orlando people to suffer a little!"

"How to change the tactics? Is it a three-pointer?" Ellis was so urinating, and rubbing his nose and face was gone.

Old Nelson glanced at him gloomyly, gritted his teeth and said, "It's a small ball defense battle (Defends Of Nellie Ball)!"

As he said that, with a wave of his hand, the lineup almost changed: "Z, Barnes, Jackson, Pitrus and Azubuk, you should have the strength now, right?"

Chamberlain stood up suddenly and howled, "Now there is nothing on his body, he just has strength!"

Old Nelson smiled slightly and said, "Okay, you guys will play for me and increase their defense after they come on the field. When it comes to attack, push forward as quickly as possible. Azubuk is responsible for pushing forward, Z goes to the inside and then hand over the ball to him and let him distribute it. Do you understand?"

After hearing this, a group of people looked at each other and shook their heads in a daze. I understand, Chamberlain is a big center, and his task has always been to cover the pick-and-roll and rebound. If he occasionally scored two points, he would take advantage of the empty inside line. This time he will directly attack. Isn't it a joke?

Old Nelson didn't explain. He just smiled, took out the tactical board and began to explain the several sets of tactics that the players would have to implement in the second half.

The second half started, and the atmosphere was hot. The Magic's big score lead made the fans in the Amway Center excited. They roared like chicken blood. Howard, Tkoglu, Lewis and others' jerseys flew around the audience like battle flags.

The Magic's lineup was also switched, and JJ Redick was able to appear. In addition, the other four people are still Howard, Tkogru, Lewis and Nelson Jr.

The first ball was from the Magic. After halftime, Nelson subconsciously passed the ball to Tkoglu. The crazy attack in the first half gave him an illusion that today was an offensive battle, with no one defending him, and he could pass the ball at will.

Barnes, who sat on the bench for halftime, showed his power. The basketball flew towards Tkoglu. He pounced on him like a wild dog. He first secretly gave his opponent a elbow and seized the opportunity to grab the ball.

Barnes quickly passed the half by himself, Chamberlain entered the inside and the basketball fell into his hands immediately.

Chamberlain jumped up and got the ball, hit Howard hard, knocking the opponent open a gap, and killing him towards the basket. However, his level of dribbling was average and his speed of slapping the ball was too slow, so Howard immediately chased after him.

However, Chamberlain's previous breakthrough had attracted Lewis's backup defense. When he let go of Jackson, Chamberlain immediately passed the ball in.

When Jackson got the ball, he happened to be under the basket. Without saying a word, he just dunked with one hand. After the dunk was successful, he yelled wildly and said, "It's so good, Z, you are worthy of being my brother!"

This was just the beginning, and the offense and defense transitioned again. The Warriors suddenly increased their defensive intensity. The Magic did not adapt. Lewis missed the single from the outside. Chamberlain defeated the Warcraft and grabbed the rebound, and threw it to Azubuk and ran to the frontcourt.

Chamberlain seemed to have a clockwork pendulum, and ran very fast, clearly heading towards the ring.

Howard was shocked and hurriedly chased behind, but he had played for two consecutive quarters, and his physical strength was inevitably reduced a bit. Chamberlain had a rest for half a quarter and midfield time, and was very physically strong. He threw away Howard and broke into the penalty area, received a pass from Azubuk, and turned around and played a slam dunk.

The Warriors chased four points in a row, and the Magic's team was in chaos, but it was a sudden rain. It was not a wise move for Old Nelson to replace Redick on the court. This NCAA super king was too elegant and was very uncomfortable with the Warriors' gang of hooligans. He lost two goals in a row. The Warriors launched a fast attack and scored another four-pointer without any surprise.

Van Gundy couldn't sit still now. He had to call a timeout for more than two minutes at the second half.
