Chapter 109 High-speed operation

Chapter 109 High-speed operation

Just like what Larry Brown thought, the Magic struggled for the first time after the kick-off. After Davis dribbled the ball through the halfcourt, seeing that there was no good opportunity for positional combat, he even pulled out directly.

"I don't even run tactics. This is the same thing with the No. 24 pick. It only took 10 seconds in [-] seconds. This shot choice is too serious. Do you really think you are Jordan?" Larry Brown relaxed, and he was more sure of winning the game.

But on the other hand, D'Antoni spoke highly of DeWeese's failed offense.

"Michael played smart," he said to Donovan.

Donovan nodded too.

"It's already started to pick up the tempo. I don't know if the Pacers are aware of it." He watched the Pacers rely on the huge advantage of the inside line to hit a ball steadily, and subconsciously sat up straight.

Sure enough, Schmitz's hook had just scored, Horry had already taken the ball and sent it to Dewes for the first time, while Anderson and Scott had already started running to the frontcourt at high speed.

After Davis received the ball, he immediately put on fifth gear.

For a time, the five members of the Magic team were like five sharp knives, piercing the Pacers' hinterland at high speed.

And Schmitz had just celebrated his goal, and before he realized what happened, Larry Brown yelled from the field.

"Back to defense! Back to defense!"

Schmitz looked back in a daze, and found that he was the only one left in the half. He hurried to the backcourt, and just after reaching the middle circle, he saw Davis pass the ball to Scott. Scott hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner, and the Magic's offense was over.

"So fast!" Larry Brown's pupils narrowed. He smelled a bad smell in the Magic's attack.

Schmitz, who didn't have time to participate in this defense, ran back to the place where he scored just now, ready to attack.

However, the Magic team unexpectedly adopted a full-court press. Caught off guard, McKay was directly double-teamed and intercepted the ball. Davis, who got the ball, went to the basket again.

The Pacers, whose mentality has undergone subtle changes, are eager to hit back one, so Reggie Miller, who thinks he has a good chance, makes a shot without hesitation after running out of an open spot.

The ball missed and the rebound was taken by Mason. Davis was already waiting by the side. After catching the ball, he went straight to full gear again and rushed forward at high speed.

Schmitz and Dale Davis struggled to return to the defense, but found that they could not run as fast without the ball as Davis with the ball.

The front court once again formed a situation of playing more and playing less. Davis scored the ball to Horry, and Horry made a direct shot and hit a long two-pointer.

The Pacers worked so hard to get back two points, but lost again ten seconds later.

Larry Brown's face became serious.

"Rick! Come back to the defense quickly! Haven't you eaten? Don't let us have fewer people every time we defend!" He yelled at Schmitz, who was trying to make a switchback on the court.

The two defenses just now were all due to Schmitz's failure to return to the defense in time, which caused the Magic to form a lot of opportunities.

But Larry Brown didn't think about why the Magic had more chances to play more and less. He just simply thought that the players' enthusiasm for returning to defense was not high.

Schmitz couldn't tell because he was a 224-cm big center, but his athletic ability was not strong. It was too difficult for him to compare his speed with the defenders.

What made him even more desperate was that he couldn't get the ball in the next few attacks. His teammates seemed to be brought into the rhythm of the Magic. They would shoot whenever they had a chance to make a shot, and they no longer waited patiently for him to settle down before passing him for singles.

The same scene happened again, Davis dribbled forward, Mason kept pace with him, and Anderson, Scott and Horry got into the Pacers' hinterland again like three torpedoes.

DeWeese rushed inside without hesitation, attracted the attention of Dale Davis and Reggie Miller, and then gave the ball to Anderson.

Anderson passed a hand to Mason who was going straight inside. Mason leaped high and smashed the dunk vigorously.

Larry Brown had already stood up, and he found that Schmitz really couldn't be blamed, because the Magic's offense was too fast.It takes less than half of the 24 seconds per attack.

He called Reggie Miller and told Reggie Miller to step up his marking on Dewes.

The experienced Larry Brown could tell at a glance that Davis was the sole core of the Magic's tactics, and the other players were just tools for scoring.

"Strangle that kid's passing lane, Reggie, I'm sure you can."

Reggie Miller nodded, and called McKay and Richardson over to explain a few words.

Seeing Larry Brown's on-the-spot command, Davis couldn't help but have a high opinion of this famous coach.

"However, this is not enough. Look at the stunts I practiced hard in the summer."

Davis muttered to himself.

On the next attack, Davis came to the frontcourt and found that the outside players of the Pacers led by Reggie Miller had completely blocked his passing route.

DeWeese gave McKay, who was guarding him, a slight motion and suddenly slowed down.Pretend to vote.

McKay, who was stepping back to block Davis' pass, felt numb and subconsciously rushed forward.

Davis' three-point ability left a bad impression on McKay.

However, Davis' seemingly fused hand suddenly changed direction, and before the two hands came together, he changed his movement.

As soon as Davis got short, he broke through McKay's defense.

McKay, who was swayed by Davis' Beverly, could only watch his easy open mid-range shots, just like he usually does in practice.

"You may have forgotten that I don't know how to pass the ball." Davis said to McKay while stepping back.

The point difference came back to 10 points, and Larry Brown plucked his hair anxiously off the court.

Just when he was hesitant to call a timeout to replace Schmitz, D'Antoni called a timeout first.

Larry Brown was overjoyed, someone gave him a pillow if he was really sleepy.

He quickly took out the tactical board, ready to formulate targeted tactics.

"Boy, enjoy the double-team tactics I prepared for you." Larry Brown smiled slyly and looked at DeWeese, who was listening to D'Antoni's tactics.

However, when the players on both sides played again, Larry Brown only felt a sweetness in his throat, and almost spurted a mouthful of old blood onto the tactical board in his hand.

I saw O'Neal and Rodman standing on the field with Sprewell, Horry, and DeWeese.

"Young people don't talk about football ethics and bully me, a 57-year-old old man, is that okay?" Larry Brown just wanted to rush to the Magic coach's bench, grab D'Antoni's collar and ask him.
