"Oh no, the Magic have never been able to break the Celtics' contraction defense in the first quarter. It seems that the Magic are more dangerous in this game."

"Hey, I just said that the Magic can beat the Celtics in the first game, which is completely a component of luck. How about it, the Magic will be revealed as soon as this game begins."

"The Magic relies too much on Su's performance on the outside. I think Coach Stan should send players who can shoot from the outside to the next stage, otherwise the Magic will be in danger in this game."

"It's the Orlando referee team. Once the referee's help is gone, he will immediately become impotence, haha."

After the first quarter, at this moment, whether it is the fans watching live or the fans watching online, they all have various ideas in their hearts.

Among them, the Magic's loyal fans, of course, hope that the Magic can play better and better in the last three quarters, and strive to win another home goal, so as to tie the total score of this round of series to 2:0.

However, as the saying goes, the temple attracts a lot of wind. Since the Magic rose to prominence this season, although it has also received the love of many new fans with its more violent playing style.

But at the same time, it also welcomed a group of annoying black fans. For these people, they don’t like to see other teams better than the parent team they support.

So once there is a Magic Team game, these people will definitely attack heavily on the Internet. If you win, you will say that the Magic Team relies on the referee, and if you lose, you will say that the Magic Team is revealed. It can be said that they will get dark after getting one chance.

However, even though these people are currently dancing on the Internet, the Magic Team who are actively preparing for the battle at the moment have no idea.

After returning from the second quarter, the two sides also sent a substitute lineup to compete.

In the last game, the Magic were able to defeat the Celtics with a slight advantage, and the huge firepower provided by the substitute lineup led by Lewis is definitely an important part of the Magic's ability to win.

Because facing the second team led by Lewis, Tkoglu and Polish Hammer Gott, the Celtics were completely at a disadvantage in the second team.

It is precisely because whenever the main lineup comes off the court, the Celtics will be completely suppressed, so the Magic used their physical strength and strategy to defeat the Celtics in the last game.

However, in this game, the Celtics head coach Rivers obviously responded to this point.

The most obvious one is that Rivers will arrange for the four giants to rest in an interlaced manner in the first quarter.

In the entire first quarter, except for Pierce playing for 12 minutes, the other three players will rest and play at different time periods.

Although this frequent substitutions will cause a small decline in the Celtics' tacit understanding of the lineup on the court.

But for the Celtics, who have been running-in for two seasons as the defending champion, the disadvantages of this method can basically be ignored.

The most important thing is that this frequent substitution can ensure that the Celtics lineup will have at least one giant-level player leading the team on the court at any time.

This situation obviously relieved the Celtics' second team at a disadvantage.

Because of the overall ability on the defensive end, the reason why the second team is really at a disadvantage is that the team has no offensive backbone at all during this period.

To put it bluntly, the substitute players are like leaders. Although they seem to be playing team basketball, they dare not take action at critical moments. The main reason why the Celtics fell into a disadvantage when facing Lewis.

With the two sides starting in the second quarter, the Celtics are currently led by Lei Allen to lead the team to Zhou Xuan.

However, unlike the last game, Rivers sent Tony Allen, who was only 1.93 meters tall, to defend Lewis.

Although the two have a 15-centimeter-high gap, if Lewis receives the ball and jump shot, it will be difficult for Tony Allen to block it directly.

But in the entire round of G1 games, the big baby Davis has fully proved that he could not keep up with Lewis's footsteps.

Although Davis is only 2.06 meters tall on the defensive end, his weight of 131 kilograms can easily reach the No. 5 position and compete with players like Howard.

However, in the case of the Celtics' shortage of inside lines, Davis' personal defense against Lewis in the last game was absolutely terrible.

Although the two are of similar heights and even Davis is two centimeters shorter than Lewis, when the weight difference is too large, Lewis can be said to be able to play casually inside and outside.

Lewis's super long performance in the last game was definitely the most important part of the Magic's victory.

Because in the entire game of G1, the only one who did not perform abnormally in the two teams was Rashad Lewis.

So in this situation where he had suffered a loss once, Doug Rivers was really forced to let Tony Allen compete with Lewis.

Although the height gap between the two is too large, Rivers can only pray that Tony Allen can use the same close approach as much as possible to limit Lewis' shooting efficiency on the offensive end.

In fact, in terms of the original lineup arrangement, the Celtics' inside lineup is quite deep, and all kinds of players can be said to be available.

Whether it is the low-post overlord Perkins or Davis, or Garnett and Lyon Powell, who have excellent mobile ability and super pick-and-roll defense capabilities.

These people can ensure that the Celtics have sufficient inside line. When dealing with any team with rich inside lines, the Celtics can use different inside line combinations to impose targeted sanctions on them.

However, what is worse for the Celtics is that in the first round of the playoffs against the 76ers, Lyon Powell was seriously injured, and his inner and outer meniscus and anterior cruciate ligament were all torn, saying goodbye to the season in advance.

If nothing unexpected happens, after the Celtics evaluate Lyon Poway's injury, it will be difficult for him to appear in the Celtics' roster next season.

After all, although Poway can be regarded as a loyal minister of the Celtics' championship, for Anji, who is as cold-blooded as a wolf, he has never had feelings in his eyes, but only value.

It can be said that Lyon Poway's season reimbursement is definitely devastating to the Celtics' inside strike.

Although Poway averaged only 7.7 and 5.1 rebounds per game throughout the season, Poway's value on the court is far from reflecting the data.

In the second round of the series between the Finals and the Lakers last year, the Celtics relied on Lyon Powell's impactful playing style to disrupt the Lakers' double tower formation, so it finally took away the game in one wave.

In that game, Lyon Powell contributed a total of 21 points in the whole game, which is definitely a great contributor to the Celtics' championship.

Unfortunately, in the last year of Powell's rookie contract this year, he suffered the most serious injury in his career.

It is no exaggeration to say that this injury has completely changed the direction of Powell's entire career.

After all, the value between a young inside player who was originally full of impact and successfully helped the team win the championship and a player who experienced all the cruciate ligament and meniscus torn on the left knee, is completely incalculable.

But this is how competitive sports are. When you originally thought you could have a bright future, maybe your future will really become a bright future.

But Lyon Poway's season reimbursement is very bad news for the Celtics.

But for the Magic team, who are currently on the opponent, this is a slight gap to breathe.

It is because Poway was reimbursed in the first round of playoff season that when Garnett was not on the court, it would be difficult for others to control Lewis' offensive performance.

After all, once a player like Lewis succeeds in achieving his net worth, his role on the court is very obvious.

Facing a player shorter than him, Lewis can completely complete the shot directly after using the pick-and-roll.

And when facing players who are stronger than him, Lewis can use his speed to create shooting opportunities.

So in this round of the series, Lewis can definitely be regarded as a big nightmare for the Celtics, unless Rivers can make Garnett average playing time up to more than 40 minutes per game.

But, given Garnett's current physical condition, it is already a luxury to be able to play the entire playoffs without any good results.

As for the fact that Garnett averaged 40 minutes per game, it was like having to run 180 miles on a second-hand QQ with a displacement of 0.8...

In the first half of the second quarter, Tony Allen was 15 cm shorter than Lewis, but with his defensive end, he still caused a lot of trouble to Lewis.

But when Tkoglu is also on the bench, Lewis can completely play a role without the ball.

With Gott's relatively high-quality pick-and-roll, the Magic still leads with a relatively weak advantage.

After returning in the second half of the second quarter, something interesting happened on the court.

Facing Rondo's ball-holding attack, Su Jiu directly put Rondo in three steps to shoot.

You should know that in the previous Magic's defensive tactics, although Rondo also made the shot from the outside, he basically maintained a distance between one step and two steps.

But after returning from the second quarter, Su Jiu directly made three steps to shoot for the first time, and even came to the free throw line to defend in one step.

This distance obviously makes this scene on the field more funny.

Faced with Su Jiu's unheard of defensive moves, Rondo, who was holding the ball at a high position, unconsciously frowned.

In my heart, I had already started cursing Su Jiu:

"I'm nymma!"

In fact, during the regular season, many teams chose to put Rondo to shoot when facing the Celtics, so as to use this method to disrupt a change in the rhythm of the Celtics on the offensive end.

However, even if these teams can only release two steps at most, it is unheard of for example, like Su Jiu who is basically in a state of emptying.

In this case, Rondo also seemed a little embarrassed. If you want to vote, Rondo really has no confidence in his heart.

But if I don’t vote, Su Jiu has already let go three steps away. If I don’t vote again, where will I put my face as the champion point guard from now on?!

As the situation on the court began to embarrass, Rondo took a deep breath and then started to close the ball at the high position, aimed, and jumped.

This series of actions is simply a smooth flow.

In the end, under the eyes of all the fans, this goal was also successful!!

Iron-smashing...

"Bang!"

With the sound of "bang", Rondo's face began to turn from white to black.

While returning to defense quickly, he cursed at Su Jiu loudly:

"I'm damn!!"

In the next few defensive rounds, Su Jiu kept putting Rondo three steps to shoot.

At first, Rondo started aiming outside the three-point line and prepared to shoot in a good manner.

However, when Rondo deeply realized that his 13.5% three-point shooting percentage in the playoffs was not a flaw, he became wilted like a frost-like eggplant.

Fortunately, Rondo has long become accustomed to the feeling of being emptied on the offensive end. Although Su Jiu's release this time is a bit too large, at least from a tactical point of view, this all plays the same role.

Rondo, who has faced many losses outside the three-point line, can only use this method to try his best to deceive himself.

Then in the following competition, we started organizing our work with all our heart and strength.

In order to avoid Su Jiu from participating in double-teaming against other players on the defensive end, Rondo has been running back and forth on the court, intending to use the empty cut to try his best to attract Su Jiu's defensive pressure.

After all, it’s not Rondo’s fault that he is not accurate in shooting, but if he is not accurate in shooting, he doesn’t find anything else on the court. Then the situation of 4-to-5 is really a fucking credibility!!

Finally, after the half, the Magic also relied on their tenacity to tie the score to the top:

42:42
Chapter completed!
