Chapter 1371 Break Everything While Calm

"Follow and follow! Follow your own people, guard people but not the ball! Dwight, stand your ground!" Big Van Gundy shouted from the sidelines.

In the field, Turkoglu let Ji Feng follow the defense, while the others followed closely to defend their respective players, and Howard did not double-team like the first game, but stood deep.

Fans who have watched the Eastern Conference Finals must be very familiar with this scene, because in the Eastern Conference Finals, whenever James dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, the Magic was in such a similar position!

There are many reasons why the Magic can send the Cavaliers home, but the key point is that the Magic's defensive strategy is better than that of the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers think they are smart, and the defensive end kills Turkoglu and puts Howard. The result is Turkoglu's passing can't be restricted at all, and then Howard you simply can't prevent it, and the result is that the Magic has both inside and outside.

Some people may say that the Magic did not guard James at all. This sentence is not wrong in terms of data. James's data in the Eastern Conference Finals is so good that it is explosive. In 6 games, he averaged 38.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, 8 assists, and the data is comprehensive. Nothing dark.

But if you analyze it game by game, James' score distribution is very characteristic. Simply put, James in the first three quarters and James in the last quarter are two people.

In the first three quarters, James was omnipotent in shooting from inside and outside. He chose to solve problems by himself. Whenever the team fell behind or needed to score, he always stood up and scored points.

However, in the last quarter, James did not seem to have a strong desire to attack. There would be problems such as passing more balls than attacking himself, sloppy defense, etc. He would also throw the ball to his teammates in the lore.

Taking the first game that was reversed as an example, in the 5 minutes when the Magic played a 16-2 attack in the last quarter, James' contribution on both ends of the offense and defense was zero. In the face of the Magic's defense, James's offense was no longer like the first three quarters. That aggressiveness, passing the ball after every break with the ball, also directly caused the Cavaliers to fall behind in the second half of almost every game.

The reason, I have to say that the Magic's defensive strategy is very successful!

Unlike the Cavaliers, almost the entire Magic team is defending with James. To put it simply, the Magic's defense is Howard's inside rim protection, Pietrus stalking James, and Turkoglu or Lewis when Pietrus is not present. James puts out a surprise attack.

For the rest of the Cavaliers, the Magic adopted a one-on-one follow-up defense, minimized their catches, and didn't let go of their shots, trying to keep them from opening and shooting!

This strategy proved to be very effective. Although it could not prevent James in the first three quarters, it prevented other people and left James alone. He had to consume a lot of physical strength to maintain the score. In the last quarter, because he was not good at shooting, Coupled with a lot of physical strength, James will always be in a dilemma at the decisive moment when the bayonet on both sides is red: one, his confidence in his jump shot is not as strong as before, and two, the success rate of breaking through to the inside and Howard's blockade leads to the breakthrough Descending, and ultimately only cool.

And tonight, the Magic once again resorted to this tactic, but made some changes. Because Ji Feng shot too accurately, the Magic's defensive range was wider tonight.

Turkoglu and Pietrus took turns to defend the top, Lewis and Howard protected the penalty area in the interior, others did not pinch, and defended alone to prevent Ji Feng from passing the ball!

In general, Ji Feng can score, but try to limit the efficiency as much as possible. By letting Ji Feng break through, it consumes a lot of Ji Feng's physical energy, and at the same time, Ji Feng is not allowed to shoot, and other Lakers players are not allowed to play smoothly!

This is the three-pronged axe that Van Gundy has made in two days!

In order to limit Ji Feng, he also fought hard.

But Van Gundy was still a little worried when the game started. After all, Ji Feng's strong shot was still pretty accurate. If Ji Feng was not fooled, he would have no choice but to vote, so this first attack was very important.

"Please, please, you must choose to force the sudden!" Da Fan Gundy muttered to himself.

Ji Feng didn't know that Van Gundy thought so much. His real eyes swept away, as if he had already seen the Magic's defensive tactics, and he knew very well that he would probably not encounter double teams when he rushed in, although he certainly would. Encountered Howard's block, but... is he afraid?

Crossover!

Originally, Turkoglu was full of confidence, but Ji Feng moved too fast this time. The extreme operation, the extreme pull back, Turkoglu was already high, and at this moment, he desperately wanted to keep up. ,The result is…

Boom!

Turkoglu directly fell in front of Ji Feng in a flat sand and geese style!

Then Ji Feng easily passed him and hit a mid-range shot not far from him. After landing, Ji Feng calmly glanced at Turkoglu, who was sitting on the ground with a dull face, and then ran back slowly.

"Wow~!"

There was an uproar at the scene, not only the teammates on the field did not expect it, but the fans off the field were also stunned, what kind of qigong is this, a crossover is so powerful! ?

Yu Jia blinked in the live broadcast booth, what happened, what just happened, and someone lay down in a blink of an eye...

Fortunately, the director was alert and quickly reminded Yu Jia that he knocked Turkoglu down when Ji Feng was passing. Shot and the Lakers tied the game!"

"Hahahaha~!" Barkley couldn't help laughing, he really had never seen a defender who was more embarrassed than this: "Brother Turkoglu, is your ass okay, maybe Van Gundy should let him Rest and rest, his legs are too soft."

Smith made up for the knife on the side: "Ji Feng knocked Turkoglu down in the second round of the opening game, which should set the NBA record for being knocked down the fastest. Congratulations to Turkoglu, you finally have a record that belongs to you. ."

Da Van Gundy slapped his head with a slap after he reacted. After pacing back and forth, he spread his hands at the helpless hands on the court. The bench yelled: "Is it April Fool's Day! SHIT!"

Turkoglu, who stood up, also spread his hands helplessly. He really didn't blame him for the ball. At that moment, Ji Feng was really faster and stronger than the previous game.

However, he was also determined to find his way back. On the offensive end, Turkoglu lived up to expectations and assisted Howard to score a successful goal.

However, on the defensive end, he was close to Ji Feng's defense and became a colander again. He dribbled the ball behind Ji Feng twice near the three-point line, making Turkoglu unable to find his direction and stunned in place. The cast hits again!

The two attacks declared that Turkoglu's defense was completely unworkable. It was impossible for him to force Ji Feng to break through. Ji Feng could play whatever he wanted on the outside.

Turning his head Magic did not score, Ji Feng made a three-point emergency stop to overtake the score. After scoring 7 points in a row, Ji Feng turned into an elegant artist. First, he ran out of space to give Gasol an alley, and then assisted Kobe to complete a layup.
