After Su Jiu made a hilarious three-no-spot shot, Stan Van Gundy off the court also felt amused and crying.

For a moment, I didn't know what the little guy Su Jiu was thinking on the court. I really wanted to pull his head off and study what he was thinking at the moment.

"Ahem..., it may be that the person who faced him suddenly became Brandon, so this little guy was a little excited, don't worry, after all, this guy is very stable."

After seeing Su Jiu make a three-no shot, assistant coach Mondy wants to laugh very much, but he still keeps trying his best to restrain himself.

After all, I am a professionally trained person, and I will never laugh out loud under normal circumstances...

After Brandon Roy was mentioned as starting by Mike Milan in the second half, the Trail Blazers' overall play did not make much difference.

Because whether it was Blake or Fernandez's presence, the ball rights that ended up being in Roy's turn after halftime, others were destined to play a role that was relatively out of the ball.

So although Fernandez replaced Blake to replace the starter, the Trail Blazers did not change too intuitively in terms of overall playing style.

However, although the playing style did not have too direct impact, the effect of the Trail Blazers did undergo a drastic change.

Compared to Steve Blake, Fernandez's threat on the ball is more than one level higher.

In addition, Brandon Roy was mentioned in the No. 1 position, which also made Su Jiu unable to start killing the inside on the offensive end without restraint.

Although Roy's movement speed is not very fast and his defensive ability is not as top defender, compared to Blake and Rodriguez, Su Jiu still felt greater pressure.

So after returning from the second half, the Trail Blazers gradually began to launch a counterattack attack. After all, all the five players on the Trail Blazers currently have good personal abilities.

Even the worst offensive ability, Ultralo has averaged 11.3 points per game this season.

Finally, at the end of the third quarter, the Trail Blazers also successfully scored the score on the field away:

73:74

Just one point behind the Magic.

For these two top teams in the league, the one-point difference is equivalent to no point difference, so the situation after the end of the third quarter also caused Stan Van Gundy to feel some anxiety.

I'm afraid the only good news for the Magic is that Greg Oden is currently burdened with the limitation of playing time, so he will basically not play again in the fourth quarter.

For the Magic, this is probably a rare good news for this game.

"At the end of the third quarter, the Blazers have also successfully narrowed the score to one point. After returning from the third quarter, this change in Mike's mention of Brandon to the No. 1 position did have a big effect."

"Although the Trail Blazers do not have a traditional point guard to organize on the court, the Trail Blazers did not need Steve to go too much to sort out the team's offense before."

"And Steve's fate put Su, who was powerful in the first half, under a great restriction."

"Although Rudy (Fernandez) has very poor personal defense ability, another defender of the Magic is Michael (Peitrus), a player with no outstanding offensive ability."

"So it was such a slight change that after returning from the second half, the Trail Blazers took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, and finally narrowed the score to one point."

Kenny Smith: "Indeed, Sue's offensive efficiency in the third quarter had obviously dropped a lot when facing Brandon's defense."

"Su's inability to open on the outside, and Dwight was more or less restricted in the inside line in this game, so the Magic's offense in the third quarter also caused a few minutes to be powered off."

"It was in this situation that the Trail Blazers took the opportunity to smooth out the score, allowing both sides to basically return to the same starting line."

Barkley: "But there is another advantage for the Magic, that is, although Rudy was mentioned to the starting lineup by Mike, it is equivalent to weakening the offensive firepower of the Trail Blazers in the substitute lineup in disguise."

"So in the first half of the fourth quarter, both sides will definitely send a substitute lineup to compete briefly. If the Magic can seize the opportunity in this case, it may have a great impact on the final battle at the last moment."

"Even if Mike chooses to take his starting lineup in advance, he will eventually suffer some irreversible consumption in terms of physical strength."

"So what will happen to the outcome of this game? Let us look forward to the competition between the two sides in the fourth quarter."

After returning from the fourth quarter, both sides temporarily sent substitutes on the court to give the main players more rest time.

After all, when the game reaches the final stage, the physical strength will definitely dominate the final trend of the game.

In order to allow the starting lineup to catch up on the court as much as possible, McMillan also mentioned Lightning Fernandez to the starting lineup in the third quarter, which means that the Trail Blazers no longer have the absolute main offensive point in the substitute lineup.

Fernandez's outcome still had a great impact on the weakening of the Trail Blazers' substitute lineup.

After all, in the past, when Fernandez was on the court, many of the Trail Blazers' running tactics were around him. However, when Fernandez came off the court to rest, then Blake would be the absolute ball-handling organization of the Trail Blazers' substitute lineup.

Although Blake is present, the second team of the Trail Blazers is not a mess, but the offensive threat has definitely dropped significantly.

So after the fourth quarter, the Magic substitute led by Nelson also gained the upper hand without any suspense and was slightly better in dealing with the Trail Blazers.

This absolute advantage in lineup also enabled the Magic to re-establish a slight lead, slowly increasing the score on the field.

Seeing this trend, McMillan was also a little anxious off the court. He raised his head and kept watching the trend of time on the court, silently calculating the rest time of the main players in his mind.

Unlike McMillan, who was slightly anxious, as time passed, the Magic's score on the court gradually began to expand.

This scene also made Stan Van Gundy breathe a long sigh off the court.

But before Stan Van Gundy could not sit still for too long, McMillan could not sit still, and took advantage of the dead ball stage to get his main lineup in advance.

Seeing the substitution on McMillan, Van Gundy felt nervous and did not dare to be arrogant at all. He waved his hand and replaced all his main players.
