After Su Jiu imitated JR Smith's shot, JR Smith also played extremely fiercely on the subsequent offensive end.

Several times after halftime, he asked Anthony Carter for the ball, saying that he wanted to play a personal single.

Faced with JR Smith's shameless singles behavior, Anthony Carter dared not speak out.

Although he is a point guard on the court, he is simply a younger brother compared to JR Smith.

And the reason why JR Smith strengthened his personal offense during this period was because he felt that Su Jiu's goal in the previous round was a provocation to him.

He had just scored a goal in this way in the last offensive round, but Su Jiu ended the offense in the same way in the next round.

This made JR Smith feel that Su Jiu was always provoking him.

Especially before the game started, Su Jiu kept staring at him, and his scalp was numb, which also made JR Smith think that Su Jiu had some problems with his brain.

And Su Jiu is certainly completely unaware of these weird ideas in his mind at the moment.

Because if Su Jiu knew about JR Smith’s thoughts, he would definitely shout out loudly that he was wronged.

"I really didn't imitate your attack, because I'm also jr? Smith..."

In the following period, Nuggets head coach George Carl also took advantage of the repeated dead ball stages to gradually get back his main lineup.

After all, their rest time off the court is sufficient, and they definitely have more advantages in physical strength than the Magic.

As the Nuggets' main lineup returned to the court again, Billups obviously had more defenses against Su Jiu's shooting outside the three-point line.

This also makes it difficult for Su Jiu to make a shot that is too perfect when he wants to make some shots.

This situation also forced Su Jiu to feed Howard more.

Because compared to his face with Billups, Howard also encountered a lot of trouble when facing Nene.

However, Howard's touch was also very hot in this game. His turn and throwing shot was like a discus and even hit several consecutive goals.

So Su Jiu didn't mind making more passes for Howard.

Although the system's tasks are very important, so far, he still has to lead JR Smith's score on the court.

In this case, Su Jiu did not dare to fight too much, otherwise it would be possible that he would replace him in advance in anger.

And if you offend other players in the team because of a task, it is really not worth the loss.

Even when individual offenses are restricted, after the half-time, the Nuggets also:

53:48

He overtook the Magic by five points and ended the first half.

"Su, I feel that my physical condition is currently in my life. This game is full of difficulties for us. It is a continuous away game, and the Nuggets' current lineup is even more tidy than us."

"So if you feel uncomfortable in your body, you must tell me as soon as possible and don't force yourself on the field. You understand."

"After all, compared with the victory of this game, the team's health is still ranked first. Even if you lose this game, it will not have much impact on us."

During the midfield, after giving some instructions to the players again and again, Stan Van Gundy also found Su Jiu in the corner and said softly to him.

Because in the second half of the second quarter, Stan Van Gundy obviously discovered that Su Jiu's offensive efficiency had a serious decline.

This also made Van Gundy a little worried. After all, after the last game against the Cavaliers, team doctor Cam Li repeatedly reminded Van Gundy not to overdraw Su Jiu's playing time too much.

Otherwise, Su Jiu would likely face a relatively bad situation.

Combined with Su Jiu, he also has some hidden dangers of injury, so this also forced Van Gundy to act carefully.

As Stan Van Gundy said, the team was a continuous away game during this period, and for the players, they would have more fatigue, both physically and mentally.

And if the victory in this game is compared with the health of the players, it can definitely be said to be minimal, because the current Magic team is really unable to afford to be injured.

After returning from the second half, Su Jiu did not encounter much defensive pressure on the defensive end, because Billups is not the kind of offensive star who likes personal singles.

This also led to Su Jiu being able to put more energy into the offensive end.

However, in the second half, Su Jiu obviously had a big decline in offensive efficiency. Although he tried his best to find his offensive state through shooting several times, but in the end he was the sound of iron after iron.

Su Jiu's inability to open the offensive end also directly put the Magic in an embarrassing situation. After all, the only ones the Magic can count on are Su Jiu and Howard.

So when one of these two people is in poor condition, then the Magic's offense will have a big problem.

When facing some weak league teams, the Magic don’t have too many worries, after all, the abilities of other players can also form a crush.

However, in this strong conversation with the Nuggets, Su Jiu and Howard's performance is absolutely crucial.

Therefore, as Su Jiu's efficiency on the offensive end began to decline, the Magic gradually fell into a trough.

Even though Stan Van Gundy repeatedly made some adjustments to the lineup and style of play on the court, under the crushing of absolute strength, the Magic still lost at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Finally, after the end of the third quarter, the Magic already used:

67:81

It is 14 points behind the Nuggets.

Looking at the current situation on the court, Stan Van Gundy also felt a little helpless.

Although he was ready to lose before the game, after the first quarter, the team led the Nuggets to end the first quarter.

This result also made Van Gundy feel confident in an instant, but in the second and third quarters, Van Gundy's confidence and thoughts seemed to be instantly knocked back to his original form.

This huge gap between the two sides also made Van Gundy feel a little sad, and it feels like a tiger falling into a flat sun and being bullied by a dog, although this Nuggets team can be called a Tibetan mastiff.

Even during this long away trip, Van Gundy missed Lewis' injury for the first time.

It was also the first time I remembered that the team actually had a figure like Lewis...
