NBA: No. 1 Forward

The consequence of these two transactions is: Howard doesn\'t even have a qualified substitute, so he can only die.

Turkoglu, who ushered in, was just a soft guy with weak offense.

Turkoglu was fine in 2009, but he couldn\'t bear to get a big contract.

And Arenas is just a cancer, he is no longer the cold-blooded killer he used to be!

So the Magic\'s three tactics last season were:

Magic\'s first set of tactics: Howard singles.

Magic\'s second set of tactics: Nelson-Howard pick-and-roll system.

Magic\'s third set of tactics: casual, it doesn\'t matter.

This also led to the collapse of the Magic\'s tactical system last season.

And this season is more thorough, the 12-year magic space has been locked up by garbage contracts.

It can be said that this season is just waiting to die.

It\'s just that they didn\'t expect Ryan Anderson, who came to the starting lineup, to explode.

Especially with Howard attracting the defense, Ryan Anderson got a lot of opportunities.

This gave the Magic management hope again.

The Magic management decided to use the "amnesty clause" to lay off Arenas to free up some space.

The only thing that has been done is to trade Brandon Bass to Green Kai, and to the big baby Davis who used to be the soul of Howard\'s elbow and Web Bat King.

To tell you the truth, I have been using Changing Source to catch up and change, changing source to switch, reading aloud with many timbres, .huanyuanapp. 】

But they traded the big baby not to serve as a substitute for Howard, but to supplement the fourth position.

In other words, as of this season, they still insist on **** Howard to the end.

However, what the Magic didn\'t expect was that Howard would be rotted by them, and he would suffer from a herniated lumbar disc and be scrapped for the season.

Howard is scrapped, and the Magic will only have one of the three lineups left: play whatever you want, it doesn\'t matter.

Historically, the Magic only managed to win a victory when they encountered the Pacers, who were inexperienced in the playoffs.

Otherwise, if you switch to other teams that often make the playoffs, they will be swept directly.

However, it is also the playoffs.

Although they know they can\'t beat the Knicks, at least in the first game, they still have to show an attitude.

Now that Howard is gone, Stan Van Gundy can only replace Howard with Glenn Davis.

Although he also knew that Davis could not have the effect of Howard, but who made him helpless.

So, the Magic implemented the second tactic of the variant version: the Nelson-Glenn Davis pick-and-roll.

…

When the Magic were running tactics, Nelson, who was holding the ball, was flanked.

This makes the Magic\'s tactics not yet finished.

Nelson had no choice but to pass the ball to Hedo Turkoglu.

And when Xidu Turkoglu was also flanked, when Turkoglu wanted to split the ball again, he was directly intercepted by Lian Dao.

The Knicks\' defensive tactics are very different from those in the regular season. In the regular season, they generally focus on single defense, supplemented by assistance defense and unlimited defense.

But as soon as the playoffs came up, the defense became even more oppressive.

Especially pinching the ball holder, forcing the opponent to make a mistake, so as to play a fast break and counterattack.

This defensive tactic may not be able to deal with the Heat, Spurs, etc., a team with five players on the field who can handle the ball.

But it is still very effective against ordinary teams like the Magic.

After stealing, Lian Dao quickly passed the ball to the fast-down Holiday, and Stoudemire received a pass back from Holiday and scored with a dunk.

The Magic still continued to fight positionally, and Nelson pulled beyond the three-point line.

Want to break the Knicks\' flanking attack by widening the game space.

It does work.

After all, the enlarged space will increase the distance to return to defense. If you continue to double-team, you may miss people.

So this time, the Knicks did not double-team, but let Holiday defend him alone.

Nelson\'s breakthrough speed is not fast. Previously, relying on his physical strength, he could achieve no disadvantages in breaking through.

But unfortunately, the defender he encountered was Holiday, and the physical confrontation was not weak.

The most important thing is that Holiday is taller and faster than him.

So after seeing Holiday, Nelson knew that there was no chance outside the three-point line.

So he could only choose to break through. He just passed Holiday with the help of a cover and came to the middle distance, but immediately encountered double-teaming again.

In the final pass, Lian Dao used his speed and wingspan to complete the steal again, and the Knicks made another fast break.

But this fast break Danny Green caused a foul.

After making two free throws, the score on the field has reached 6:0!

This time, the Magic team members were a little helpless.

As for? Are you so hard to beat us?

Van Gundy frowned tightly. To be honest, Van Gundy didn\'t expect the Knicks to defend so fiercely as soon as they came up.

After all, when most teams encounter a weak Magic, most of them don\'t take it seriously, at least psychologically, most of them will take it lightly.

It\'s just that I didn\'t expect the Knicks, as the defending champion, to be so cautious.

Van Gundy made a tactical gesture towards the Magic players on the field.

The Magic changed their tactics here, Davis still came out to do the pick-and-roll, Richardson and Turkoglu players with the ability to handle the ball responded.

It worked, and Richardson ran off the ball and had a chance outside the three-point line.

But Nelson didn\'t have a chance to pass it on.

Holiday\'s defensive insight is not bad, and he directly strangled his passing angle.

In the end, Nelson could only use the pick-and-roll to break through to the basket.

Nelson\'s drive to the hoop was eventually blocked by Cousins, but he then slammed the ball toward the big baby Davis in the short corner.

Although Davis does not have Howard\'s top dynamic quality, running and jumping ability and pie-eating ability.

But he has the long-range shooting ability that Howard does not have.

Davis made a long two-point shot!

"Snapped!"

Stoudemire quickly completed the defense block, he is really motivated tonight!

Holiday controlled the basketball, and then the Knicks hit another fast break.

This time, Lian Dao took the lead and rushed out, and after receiving the ball, he was separated by Ryan Anderson who switched defenses...

"Peng!"

Slam the ball into the basket with one hand!

"Beep!"

Then the referee whistle sounded.

2+1!

8:0, there will be an additional penalty!

The Knicks beat the Magic into a sieve at the beginning.

Whether it is offense or defense, the Magic seem to be like children who can\'t play.

To be honest, Van Gundy has never felt so aggrieved as he is today.

Van Gundy is the coach of the "Laili Department". He pays great attention to teamwork, discipline and defense.

Among the current NBA coaches, Popovich occupies half of the country.

There are also a few seats in the Lili Department such as Sibo and Van Gundy, and Van Gundy Jr. is also from the Lili Department.

This faction has inherited the characteristics of Laili and attaches great importance to teamwork, discipline and defense.

During the Heat period, Wei Shark combined one inside and one outside defense.

After coming to the Magic, Howard flew into the sky to help defend and chase, and both teams defended very well.

However, Van Gundy also has a style of coaching, that is, the team must have a star-level insider. The Heat had O\'Neal, and the Magic had Howard before.

All his offensive and defensive systems are built around the team\'s star interior.

But the Magic\'s Howard was injured, which made the entire Magic\'s offensive and defensive system lack the most critical engine.

Davis\'s height, whether it\'s interfering with opponents\' shots or rebounding, is very bad.

Although he has shooting ability on the offensive end, but his height and wingspan are limited, his post-up and basket are basically non-existent.

Although the character of daring to fight and fight is worthy of recognition, it is also a fact that the hard power is weak.

With his ability, he can be a very good role puzzle but he can\'t become the core of a team\'s offense and defense.

Therefore, the current big Van Gundy has no soldiers, and he doesn\'t know what to do.

And, he\'s ready to be fired at the end of the season.

But before he was fired, he didn\'t want to be beaten by his opponent as the biggest point difference during his coaching period.

Big Van Gundy directly called a timeout.

In this situation, if the timeout is not called, the Magic can let the Knicks directly open the flowers.

Back from the timeout, Lian Dao made an extra penalty.

Opening 9:0!

The Magic are still dispatched as before, but this time it is smoother.

Nelson successfully passed the ball, and Jason Richardson made a catch from outside the three-point line, finally helping the Magic break the scoring drought.

After seeing the goal, Van Gundy was also relieved.

He really didn\'t want to see the Magic being beaten into a defensive counterattack by the opponent again.

Lian Dao still continued to play singles, attacking the inside line to attract double-teams.

The Magic can\'t defend like before. Even if they missed Lian Dao and Howard was stationed at the basket, they could still make up defense.

Now, as long as Lian Dao breaks through, it will be directly terminated by Lian Dao.

Faced with the double-teaming of the Magic, Lian Dao still chose to pass the ball.

Danny Green made a three-pointer from the outside.

"when!"

The basketball bounced out of the frame.

Davis just wanted to grab a rebound, but a figure behind him got the rebound directly through him, and then...

"Peng!"

Cousins ​​made an aerial tip and dunked.

Davis is strong, others may be afraid of him, but Cousins\' physical fitness is worthy of him.

3:11!
