Chapter 71: Nelson's Situation

The birds who get up early have insects to eat. Hehe, Xiao Liu updated the at least the words in the morning, and shouted: Please recommend votes, collect them~~~

*********************[]

The game went very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it had played more than five minutes in the second quarter. Since both sides had few fouls, the game played very smoothly. Both sides had good offenses during this period. However, in comparison, the Magic team was better. During this period, their shooting percentage reached 61.2%, and their three-point shooting percentage was 56%. Due to the Magic's defensive strength, the Wizards' shooting percentage was not as good as the Magic.

When Wu Feng led his second foul in this game, he was replaced by Jamal Nelson. At this time, there were 6 minutes and 7 seconds left before the end of the first half.

Wu Feng, who had already committed two fouls, did not show a depressed expression on his face. On the contrary, he was very happy. However, he was still a little dissatisfied with the head coach's replacement so quickly.

However, Stan Van Gundy also had to replace Wu Feng. Because the other starters had already returned to the court, Jamal Nelson was still sitting off the court for nearly three minutes. After all, Jamal Nelson was also the Magic's starter in recent years, not to mention that he had such a good relationship with Jamal Nelson, so he had to replace Wu Feng, although Wu Feng performed very well during this period of time on the court.

Many fans at the scene expressed dissatisfaction with Stan Van Gundy's decision to substitution, and Stan Van Gundy could only endure the condemnation and even insults from the fans in depressed manner. However, what made Stan Van Gundy a little relieved was that general manager Ortis Smith did not have any dissatisfaction with replacing Wu Feng.

"Lina, why has Wu been replaced?" Taylor Swift was just watching, and suddenly found that Wu Feng had been replaced. He immediately asked his assistant Lina next to him with dissatisfaction.

"Taylor, Wu also needs a rest! You didn't see that he played from the second half of the first quarter until now. Considering the second half, he needs a rest now! You can't use him as a robot, right? What's wrong? Our Miss Swift likes that Chinese boy?" Lina asked quippedly.

Taylor Swift's face turned red and he said angrily: "Lina, what are you talking about? I have only met that kid, how could I like him? Besides, Saoirse..." Thinking of Saoirse Ronan, Taylor Swift lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Hmm? Saoirse? Is it Miss Ronan? What's wrong with her?" Lina continued to ask.

Taylor Swift looked up, then turned to look at Wu Feng sitting on the bench, and asked Lena with a smile: "What do you think of that Chinese boy?"

Lina didn't know that Taylor Swift was changing the subject. When she heard her ask Wu Feng how he was, she immediately replied excitedly: "Taylor, that kid is really great. Although she didn't see how he attacked himself, he connected the entire team. Moreover, his defense is really excellent. I really love him."

"Uh, are you in love with him?" Taylor Swift said in surprise.

"Hey, what are you thinking? I fell in love with him in his playing basketball, not in his person. Although he is handsome, I am only interested in men in my country. But no matter what, I will support him. I am a die-hard fan of him." Lina explained excitedly.

Taylor Swift stuck out his tongue, "How long has he been in the NBA? Have you become his big fan?"

"Taylor, you don't understand this. This is the charm of basketball." Lina replied word by word, with an extremely serious expression.

Just as the two women chatted, the first half ended.

Because Wu Feng's time on the court not only helped the team tie the score, but also helped the team overtake the score, expanding the score difference to 8 points. Therefore, after the Magic changed to the main force, he took advantage of the victory and widened the score difference to 13 points at the end of the first half.

Now, the score on the field is 59:46.

After replacing Wu Feng, Jamal Nelson performed much better than before. Perhaps because he realized that his position was seriously threatened, Jamal Nelson worked very hard. Not only did he not shoot in a strait, but he passed more balls and passed many beautiful balls.

In fact, Jamal Nelson is very strong and has good passing ability. The reason why he was criticized by fans is not that he does not know how to pass the ball, but that he is unwilling to pass the ball. He is a real attacking point guard, but this type of thing has caused the consequences that he cannot continue to develop in the Magic.

Because, what the Magic need is not his type of point guard.

If the attack ability of "Warcraft" Dwight Howard has not been developed in the past few years, then Jamal Nelson is undoubtedly very suitable for the Magic. However, in the past two years, Dwight Howard's scoring ability has been significantly improved, so Jamal Nelson is not suitable for the Magic.

The Magic need a defender who can pass the ball to Howard. What's more, the Magic have stockpiled a lot of shooter players, so they need a defender who has an excellent overall view and vision, good at passing the ball, rather than a defender like Jamal Nelson who needs to hold the ball and attack by himself.

Therefore, in the first two years, the Magic allowed Xidu Tekauglu as the team's passer to organize the team's offense. So in the first two years, when Xidu Tekauglu was still with the Magic, he was the axis of the team's offense.

But now, Xidu Tekauglu has left the Magic, and Jamal Nelson has not changed his style of play. So what awaits him is the criticism and abuse of fans, especially the fans of "Warcraft".

In the second half of the first half, Jamal Nelson made only one move, hit a three-pointer, and scored 3 points. Although he scored very few points, he gained 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. Not only did he help the team on the offensive end, Jamal Nelson also contributed on the defensive end.

Stan Van Gundy was very satisfied with Jamal Nelson's performance and was relieved that he could change his playing style and contribute to the team. It was not that he had told Jamal Nelson that he would change his playing style, but Jamal Nelson had been in the NBA for six years and his playing style had already been set. In addition, he did not want to change his style of play, so he had not made any changes.
