Chapter 129 Feeling hot
"Jonny rushed to the right side of the top of the arc, Jamal Marsh Ben rushed over, but Joonny had already made a move, three-pointer! Entering! Both sides tied again! The Heat have not been able to defend Joonny so far. Joonny's condition seems to be different from the previous game."
Beep~~! After Joni scored, the referee blew the whistle and the Heat shouted a timeout. Pat Riley could hardly imagine that after he used this double-team tactic against Joni, Joni could still score so easily. He was a little dissatisfied with Voshang Leonard, who was defending Joni. After 5 minutes of the game, the Magic and the Heat were still split equally, which was not in line with Pat Riley's pre-match idea.
The timeout time for the Heat is naturally Pat Riley's criticism of the defense of the players. On the Magic, Rich Adubatu, who had already seen hope, said slightly excitedly: "Jonny, you're doing a good job!" He looked at Jonny first, and Jonny smiled and said nothing, because Jonny found that his teammates were still in the same state as they were at the beginning, confused. No wonder the team still couldn't win when he had already opened fire.
"Hey guys, look at the scores, look at the scores! We are not behind, why are you like this? Can you cheer up?" Joni couldn't help but say, and then, regardless of Richie Adubatu's surprised gaze, said loudly: "What is our goal? Why can't we cheer up and play every round well? We haven't lost yet! Why do you look like you lose the game? Why?"
Joni's questioning surprised the Magic players, but more of them were speechless.
Joni didn't say anything more. He didn't know how to inspire people. He could do only this.
But what made Joni feel relieved was that after he finished what he said just now, someone obviously showed a serious look.
The timeout ended soon, and both sides returned to the field. The Magic did not make any adjustments, while the Heat changed another person. Voshang Lenard, who was considered unfavorable to defend Jonny, was replaced by Dan Marley.
Dan Marley, nicknamed Thunderbolt, is the main player in the Heat's three-point shooting group. This white shooter is very physically intensive, has a very fast speed, and is on par with Jonny. It can be said that Dan Marley should be a better candidate for defending Jonny. In the last game, Dan Marley did a very good job when he came on as a substitute to defend Jonny, but Pat Riley was considering starting off and let Dan Marley appear on the bench.
However, at this time, Woshan Leonard and defended Joni failed, and substitution was imperative. Pat Riley had to replace Danmarley in advance.
Both sides re-appeared. Joni looked at Dan Marley standing in front of him, and didn't care at all. He devoted himself to the defense. After getting the bonus of the r skill, Joni's unball run could not even defend Gary Payton. An amateur defensive player like Dan Marley would not even want to defend Joni.
However, Dan Marley's appearance still has a certain advantage over the Heat, because Dan Marley, who just played, has better physical fitness and runs more on the offensive end. Soon, the Heat got an open position because of Dan Marley's appearance. Joni's defense was slower, and Dan Marley took a long distance and scored two points. Judging from this goal, Joni's defense is still so bad.
However, when it comes to Magic attack, Jonny uses reality to let Pat Riley know that no matter how the Heat substitutions, Jonny is unstoppable.
"Joni, he rushed into the Heat's penalty area by himself. This is his European step, and he made a move! Faced with Alonzo Moening's backup defense, Jonni hit a throw!"
Joni had already made a shot, and the Heat couldn't stop him at the beginning of this game. By the time Joni made a shot, the Heat had no way to defend. All they could do was pray that Joni's touch would disappear.
"Joni made a foul. This is his first foul. He was too risky when he cut the ball. Now Jooni has to be careful. He already has a foul. If two fouls, he will not be able to continue playing in the rest of the first quarter."
Just when Jonny felt that he was hot, his carelessness caused a foul. The Heat were ready to serve outside the bounds again, but Pat Riley seemed to have discovered a new world and quickly called out Tim Hardaway and whispered, and the content was naturally to ask Tim Hardaway to make Jonny's foul.
Soon, when the Magic started attacking, Joni took the ball and played single again, but found that the defense was Tim Hardaway, but Joni didn't care. He wanted to make an emergency stop jump shot in this ball.
However, when Joni just rushed up, Tim Hardaway had just had physical contact with Joni, and then fell to the ground, and the referee's whistle sounded quickly.
Beep~~! The referee pointed at Joni, and Joni looked shocked. The referee's meaning was very obvious, that was he had a foul.
"The referee pointed at Joni. This was Joni's offensive foul. In just two rounds, Joni was called for two fouls and he was about to end."
Joni was really helpless. He looked at Tim Hardaway's innocent face and really wanted to go up and curse: "Diving movie master!" But Joni also knew that this was all too young. He should have known that the Heat would do this, but he didn't pay attention. Joni sat on the bench with annoyance, and Pat Riley's idea was realized. He wanted Joni to end up and let Joni be cold for a while, and to try to cool Joni's touch.
Joni stayed off the court for half a quarter of the game. At the beginning of the second quarter, Richie Adubatu couldn't wait to replace Joni again. In the half-quarter when Joni was not present, the Magic were beaten 8:0 by the Heat. No one in the team could stand up and score. At the end of the first quarter, the Magic fell behind by 9 points. Richie Adubatu's impatientness was understandable.
When Joni started playing again, Pat Riley became obviously nervous, and his body, which was half lying on the bench, was also lifted.
"Jonny Lee took a break for half a quarter and played again. The Magic needed Jonny's score very much. During the half quarter when he was not present, the Magic lost 9 points."
Joni made a comeback, the Heat attacked first, and Tim Hardaway's breakthrough was not double-teamed by the Magic. He made a layup directly, and the difference between the two sides became 11 points.
Then, a scene that made Pat Riley pay more attention and nervous came, and Joni held the ball from the beginning! Because Anthony Hardaway was still resting off the court, Darrell Armstrong handed the ball to Joni to handle it.
Pat Riley stared at Jonny without blinking.
Joni moved, he chose to play singles or jump shot in a hurry, he wanted the Heat to know that using despicable means would not be able to prevent him. Joni rushed into the three-point line and took a step directly when Danmarley caught off guard.
With a swish, Pat Riley felt his heart fall out, and Joni's touch was still hot!
