128. Evenly matched
"Dou!Dou!"
With Su Jiu on the court and Stan Van Gundy off the court, they both responded very fiercely.
The whistle on the field finally rang at this time.
However, the penalty given by the two sideline referees is indeed different. The penalty given by the left sideline referee is valid for the timeout, while the penalty given by the right sideline referee is to compete for the ball.
Seeing this result, Su Jiu, who was lying on the ground, kept hammering the ground with his hands, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face.
Because at this time, Su Jiu didn't have to say anything, Stan Van Gundy couldn't sit still and roared at the referee on the court:
"Fuck!! It's obvious that we called out the timeout first, and then Chris rushed to the basketball. I almost shouted hoarsely from the field. Didn't you hear it?!!"
"This must be the timeout first!! And Chris's ball is suspected of foul. Even if he doesn't play the timeout, it's impossible to compete for the ball!"
Seeing Stan Van Gundy's fierce reaction, assistant coach Mondy also grabbed his old friend from the side as soon as possible.
This situation also caused the three referees on the court to gather together to discuss.
Although this kind of ball penalty will not affect the subsequent game process, once the penalty is wrong, it may affect the mood of the players on both sides in the next game.
If this emotion cannot be controlled properly, it may further evolve into a stadium fight.
So after the three referees gathered together to discuss, it seemed that the three referees reached a consensus quickly. In the end, the referee also blew the whistle hanging around his neck again and made a gesture, which was to be effective for the pause!!
Seeing this penalty, Su Jiu also stood up and pursed his lips, threw the basketball to the referee beside him, and walked towards the bench with his teammates.
However, Chris Paul still complained to the referee symbolically about the referee's change.
This is also a means by which stars use their personal influence to put pressure on the referees.
This method can be said to be used to the fullest in later generations of LeBron James.
"Sorry, coach, the physical exhaustion is a bit too much, so Chris accidentally took out the ball just now."
After the incident, Su Jiu took the towel handed to him by his friend Xiao Lizi, wiped the sweat off his face, and his expression was somewhat depressed.
"Nothing sorry, you've done a good job and I'm very satisfied with your performance."
"It is not easy to remain calm in this situation. Let's take a break first. After all, the physical deficit of continuous away games is not something we can control."
As the head coach, Van Gundy knows more than anyone that the physical impact brought by away games is definitely huge.
So there was no too much greeting, and Stan Van Gundy also used this timeout to make some lineup adjustments to the court.
There was not much emphasis during the suspension period. After all, before the game began, Van Gundy had already analyzed the offensive strategy of this game.
To put it bluntly, everything that follows must be left to the players on the field to perform themselves.
"Little Lizi, I have tried my best. I will leave it to you next. I'm so fucking hard. If you don't perform well, don't blame me for kicking your ass then!"
Before Courtney Lee was replaced, Su Jiu did not forget to motivate his friends.
"Hey, don't worry, I'll definitely be better than you."
After the timeout came back, both sides also made some adjustments to the lineup on the court.
After all, the intensity of the confrontation in the whole first half of the quarter was indeed visible to the naked eye, so even the head Hornets coach Byron Scott had to switch Tyson Chandler to rest off the court.
Because Chandler was exhausting his physical strength at this time, he kept gasping for breath.
If you don't switch it to the off-court rest, Chandler may be exhausted in this 48-minute game.
As both sides interspersed with substitute players on the court, the Magic's advantage in line-up depth is gradually revealed.
Because even though Su Jiu and Howard have been switched off the court at this moment, Nelson and Gotat are still on the court.
If you only want to protect rebounds, Gotat is not much better than Howardson at the moment.
Although several main players from both sides have already left the court to rest, the game on the court has no intention of relaxing at all.
Both sides fought back and forth, and the scores on the field were in a stalemate.
However, the shooting percentages on both sides of this game were relatively low, and it was obviously affected by physical strength.
Until the end of the first quarter, the Magic team who played away only used:
24:22
Leading the Hornets by two points to end the first quarter.
David: "This is really a game that people are worth watching. In fact, after the end of the first quarter, the shooting rates of both sides were not very high, and it could even be said to be relatively low."
"The Hornets' team hits so far are 41%, while the Magic are only 39%.
"The reason why he still took the lead with a lower shooting percentage is because after Tyson got out, the entire Hornets' inside line was in a relatively weak state."
"The Hornets' current substitute center is Sean, but he has only 3.2 rebounds per game so far. It can be said that he has done a relatively poor job in protecting the basket."
"In the duel with Gotat, we can clearly see that the Magic also had an absolute advantage in the inside fight, so although the Magic's shooting rate was lower in the entire first quarter, their shots were 5 more than the Hornets."
Nisson: "Yes, the low shooting rate may have been affected by some physical strength, but the most important thing is that we can see in this game that the players on both sides are very focused on the court."
"It seems that the Magic also wants to put a perfect end to their away trip, and the Hornets also want to defend the victory of this game at home."
After returning from the second quarter, Su Jiu, who had a break from the field, also returned to the field.
On the other hand, Chris Paul, on the Hornets, was still leading the team for a while after Su Jiu left the court in the first quarter, so Paul was still sitting off the court to rest during this period.
This also led to the player Su Jiu was going to face in the second quarter and became 33-year-old veteran Mike James.
