31. Body Crush

"The Sixers' outside shooting is very unstable, so we can shrink the defense as much as possible in the second half, forcing them to shoot from a further position."

"Once Dwight encounters double-team again in the second half, then the outside shot must be more decisive and take action as much as possible when you have the chance. Don't show so much hesitation like in the first half, thus missing many good opportunities in vain."

"Dwight, after you come back in the second half, you can be the first to play fiercely at the basket, otherwise your physical strength will become a problem in the fourth quarter."

"Finally, Sue, you played quite steadily in the first half, I'm very pleased with this, but after going back in the second half, facing Louis, you can appropriately enhance your personal offense."

"Louis has a very poor physical condition. Whether you play singles in personal skills or eat singles using your body, you have a great success rate of goals."

In the midfield, Stan Van Gundy also kept explaining to the players the offensive after returning to the second half.

The 76ers are currently rebuilt with Iguodala as the absolute core.

Although Iguodala is relatively comprehensive on both offense and defense, she lacks the temperament of acting as a leader, that is, it is difficult to stand up and lead the team to kill the game at critical moments.

So this also led to the fact that most of the 76ers would hand over the ball to Brand for processing at critical moments.

The Magic's defensive strategy in this game is very obvious. Once Brand holds the ball at a low post to prepare for attack, the Magic will immediately go forward and attack and try to make 76ers shoot from the outside long distance.

Because the projection ability of this 76ers on the outside is really poor, they are currently ranked last in the entire league.

Therefore, the offensive and defensive system of the entire Magic team can be regarded as a deep-rooted 76ers team.

Rather than saying that the Magic restrained the 76ers, it can also be said that all the teams in the league with super centers and several shooters have natural restraint attributes against this 76ers.

So after returning from the second half, Howard took the lead in the inside, and in accordance with Van Gundy's request, he kept asking for balls at the basket just after he came back in the second half.

The whole person was extremely excited on the offensive end and caught 76ers off guard.

This 76ers team does not have a perfect candidate in the center position, so it is a great loss to face Howard.

Once Howard can win in the inside, the 76ers can only choose to double-team to curb Howard.

In this way, it can be regarded as a perfect match for the Magic team's ideas and gives Magic team's outside shooters more opportunities.

So not only did the 76ers in the third quarter did not further narrow the score, but the score was further and bigger and bigger, running towards garbage time.

Even though the 76ers head coach Chicks was about to tear off the court, yelling around, his face turned red.

But reality is often so cruel. With the ruthless motivation, it cannot cover up the fact that there is indeed a gap between the two teams.

So when Su Jiu made his debut in the second half of the third quarter, the score on the field had already increased to as much as 19 points.

Faced with this situation, Su Jiu completely let go of the pressure. After all, with such a big difference, it is not easy to smooth it out in this era.

What's more, this 76ers have been one of the worst teams in the league since last season. It is precisely because they lack a real superstar who can stage heroism at critical moments and lead the team out of the quagmire with their own strength.

Whether it is Iguodala or Brand, the two of them seem to be able to add icing on the cake to the team, but it is indeed a bit difficult to make them help in time.

So Su Jiu, who returned to the court, also tried to add more of his personal offense. Although he was no longer stuck at this time, Su Jiu's physical fitness was still good. Facing Louis Williams' defense, Su Jiu was also very smart in playing basketball.

Since he no longer has the agility of Irving and the stable external feel like Thompson, Su Jiu tried his best to use his back-body technology to gain advantage in Lu Wei's body.

After all, Su Jiu knew very well at this time that although his real skills were not very good, his health was good.

And Su Jiu really scored several goals in a row on the offensive end.

This scene made Van Gundy off the field stunned.

"This guy has this kind of operation?"

Because in the entire NBA history, there are very few point guards who use their backs to force themselves, and the representative figures here are currently in the 76ers team, that is Andre Miller.

Plus, the alien Kassel, who was once called the three-headed monster in the Timberwolves.

So when Su Jiu came up, he used his back to eat Lu Wei. Although this was a very smart choice, no one expected that this guy would still have such a trick.

He has good ball control, can break through, can shoot three-pointers, can defend, and can play low-post backs. As a result, you told me that he was actually a undraft?!

Barkley: "Su's ball is very smart. Seeing that Louis has limited physical fitness, he chose to use his back to the low post to force his food. This is also a relatively efficient way of playing."

"But there are fewer and fewer point guards in the league on the back line."

Kenny Smith: "Yes, today's point guards either have a broad view of passing or excellent shooting ability. Everyone is constantly speeding up and improving."

"So these very common offensive methods have become increasingly rare. Of course, this has a lot to do with the dilution of the ball in the point guard position."

"From the original point guard as the absolute commander on the court, it began to dribble and cross half the court, and now the No. 1 position has begun to play without the ball."

"In fact, it is hard to say whether this is a progress or a reform of basketball. It can only be said that every era has a different style of playing. At least as long as it can help the team win, it is a good style of playing."

Indeed, as the league went from center to the four major point guards, point guards were no longer like the Magicians at that time, as the absolute commander on the court.

In addition, the increasingly advanced tactics have made the things that each position should do more and more blurred.

As Kenny Smith said, as long as you can win, it is a good way of playing.

Only Su Jiu knew better that in the future, this vague concept would be even broader.

The point guard may become a true off-ball shooter, and the center may be the stadium commander of a team.

At this time, Su Jiu's back-to-back inspiration on the court was actually a reference to Livingston, who helped the Warriors win the championship and made great contributions.

A genius point guard who suffered a serious injury in his career and was forced to change his playing style...
