super point guard

Chapter 248

Chapter 248

Orlando Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy pondered for a whole first half, but he couldn't figure out a good way to limit the opponent.When the first half ended, the score was 46:36 on the court, and Coach Stan Van Gundy's team trailed the rival Indiana Pacers by ten.

In the second quarter, the Orlando Magic team only scored [-] points, and the lack of offense became one of the biggest problems facing the Orlando Magic tonight.After the first half, the Orlando Magic's most points were Glenn Davis' nine points, while for the Indiana Pacers, center Roy Hibbert scored in the first half. He had [-] points and five rebounds in the game, and point guard Xu Nuo had nine points and six assists.

Comparing the two, the superior and inferior will be judged.

During the intermission, coach Stan Van Gundy pondered for a long time and finally came up with a good solution.

But when Coach Stan Van Gundy came up with this "good way", Coach Stan Van Gundy almost felt so remorseful that he wanted to kill himself——

Such an easy way to think of, why didn't I think of it earlier?

So, coach Stan Van Gundy hurriedly came to the tactical board in the locker room and began to hurriedly arrange the tactics to be used in the second half to his players.

And coach Stan Van Gundy thought of this good idea at halftime, and it did receive good results in the first few minutes of the second half.

In the first 3 minutes of the third quarter, except for Jason Richardson hitting a long three-pointer from the outside, no one on the two teams was able to throw the damn ball into the damn basket in the basket.After 3 minutes of the third quarter, the score was still 46:39.

That's right, from the beginning of the second half of the game, Coach Stan Van Gundy's team began to defend against their opponents, trying to start from defense and slowly recover that [-]-point advantage.

Starting from defense, this point is actually easy to think of, but coach Stan Van Gundy has been struggling with the team's inside offense in the first half of the game, and he failed to think of this.That's why Coach Stan Van Gundy nearly killed himself with remorse thinking about it.

Starting from defense, at least the Orlando Magic did a good job in the first 3 minutes of the third quarter, allowing the Indiana Pacers to score no points in these 3 minutes.

However, his team only scored three points!

When players focus most of their energy on defense, there is not much energy on offense.

New problems, old problems, coach Stan Van Gundy has a lot of problems in his stomach at this time.

The head coach of the Indiana Pacers, Larry Brown, saw that his team did not score within 3 consecutive minutes, and decisively made substitution adjustments.Xu Nuo stood up from the bench, took off his sports jacket, and went to the scorer's table to get ready to play.

"It's Xu Xu again!" Coach Stan Van Gundy saw Xu Nuo on the sidelines about to play, and the wrinkles on his forehead immediately squeezed into a ball.

"The Indiana Pacers didn't score for 3 consecutive minutes, and coach Larry Brown sent Promise at this time, it is precisely by relying on Promise's sharp and fast offense and excellent passing to help the team open the situation." Sitting in the stands Derek Williams on the Internet thought so.

Hedo Turkoglu stepped to the free throw line and made two free throws, and the point difference between the two teams narrowed a little bit.Promised to replace lead point guard Darren Collison, once again on the court.

"In this way, we have to rearrange our tactics again." Coach Stan Van Gundy said to himself.

Coach Larry Brown's substitution had an immediate effect. Soon after he played, he assisted center Roy Hibbert for a dunk and finally scored the Indiana Pacers' first point in the second half.Immediately afterwards, Xu Nuo used his best one-on-one steal to steal the ball from Jameer Nelson, and dribbled towards the frontcourt.

"Stop him!" Coach Stan Van Gundy yelled from the sidelines.

Although Jason Williams quickly returned to the defense and returned to the basket of the Orlando Magic.However, Xu Nuo flicked Jason Richardson's wrist lightly, and the ball came to Danny Granger outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle.

"Not good!" Seeing Danny Granger receiving the ball, Coach Stan Van Gundy broke into a cold sweat immediately.

Danny Granger didn't waste the promised assist. Standing outside the three-point line, he took the ball and dropped it. The ball "swiped" through the net like a sharp arrow.

At 51:40, the Indiana Pacers used the two promised assists to easily expand their lead to double digits again.

Coach Stan Van Gundy folded his hands, his face full of helpless expressions.

"It seems that Jamil is not Xu Nuo's opponent at all, but in this way, who else can compete with Xu Nuo?" Coach Stan Van Gundy thought this way, full of helplessness that no one could use.

In the preseason, the Orlando Magic also had "General" Gilbert Arenas in their lineup. Although Gilbert Arenas' state has declined significantly, he is still a point guard who can play games .However, in the middle of the season, the team cut Gilbert Arenas, and coach Stan Van Gundy had to rely more on Jameer Nelson at point guard.

But now, coach Stan Van Gundy has been wondering whether to continue to rely on Jameer Nelson, or not to rely on Jameer Nelson?

After all, now Jameer Nelson has no way to compete with the promise on the court.

In this way, the Orlando Magic are now "only" [-] points behind the rival Indiana Pacers, which is quite lucky.

On the court, Ryan Anderson's outside three-pointer missed again, and Roy Hibbert grabbed his seventh rebound of the game.Immediately afterwards, Xu Nuo hit a mid-range jumper, and the Indiana Pacers extended their lead to [-] points.

Coach Stan Van Gundy angrily slammed his fist on the chair, got up and called for a long timeout.

After Xu Nuo hit this mid-range jumper, Xu Nuo's data in this game has reached [-] points and [-] assists, and now the third quarter has just passed halfway, it seems that Xu Nuo has achieved a lot in his first game. It is no longer a big problem to win double-double data in the playoffs.

Compared with the promise, Jameer Nelson, the main point guard of the Orlando Magic, has only scored six points and five assists so far, which is indeed a bit miserable.However, his shooting percentage was even worse, only [-] of [-] shots and no free throws.

Seeing Jameer Nelson in such a poor state, coach Stan Van Gundy really didn't know whether to replace him and let backup point guard Chris Duhon play as cannon fodder for a while.

However, coach Stan Van Gundy thought about it and finally kept Jameer Nelson on the court.During the timeout, coach Stan Van Gundy kept emphasizing defense to his players, hoping that his team could start from defense again and continue to create opportunities to narrow the point difference.

But in the hearts of the Orlando Magic players, this hope has become increasingly elusive.

Although there are still 7 minutes before the end of the game, the Orlando Magic players have begun to give up the game in their hearts.

After the game restarted, the Orlando Magic once again began to fight hard to defend, but compared with the defense at the beginning of the third quarter, the Orlando Magic's defensive strength has dropped significantly at this time.This decline in defensive strength is not caused by lack of physical strength, but a decline in defensive enthusiasm.The decline in the players' defensive enthusiasm directly reflects the current mentality of the players.

"Now the third quarter is far from over, we can't give up the game so early!" Coach Stan Van Gundy thought angrily.

Now the only player in the Orlando Magic team who can be considered desperate is Glenn Davis. Glenn Davis made a mid-range jumper, which barely continued the hope of winning for the Orlando Magic.However, Danny Granger once again hit a long three-pointer from the outside, which once again extinguished the flame of hope that had just been ignited in the hearts of the Orlando Magic players.

It was fourteen points. Seeing that the game had progressed to the second half of the third quarter, the point difference between the two teams was widening. This situation made Coach Stan Van Gundy tremble in his heart.

"Can you still catch up..." Coach Stan Van Gundy thought in his heart.

When Coach Stan Van Gundy started to think this way, it meant that Coach Stan Van Gundy also began to have a hint of wanting to give up the game.

Since then, coach Stan Van Gundy's attention has been off the game, and he doesn't even think about starting from defense.At this time, coach Stan Van Gundy has even begun to think about the next game in his mind.

If the coach starts to show the intention of giving up the game, then the players on the court will be even less focused when playing.The Indiana Pacers took this opportunity to launch a wave of offensive climax, and within 2 minutes the point difference was widened to 44 points.Coach Stan Van Gundy saw the 63:[-] score on the scoreboard above the field and called for a timeout again.

However, at this time, coach Stan Van Gundy did not seem to call a timeout to boost the morale of the players, but to replace the team's main players.Facing the few remaining game times and the [-]-point difference, the Orlando Magic seemed to have no choice but to give up the game.
