Chapter 112: Bloodshed

In the second game between the Lakers and the Rockets, Kobe broke out a stronger offensive power, and Paul Gasol also performed well, and the two led the team to a victory over the Rockets.
This is the strength of the Lakers. Their strengths, especially Kobe, are different. The Rockets do not have this strength at all, and even if McGrady is not injured, they are completely incomparable.
This time Yao Ming was trapped by fouls and did not show his full strength. He is now somewhat similar to Howard's situation. He has taken a lot of pressure on the defensive end, and it is difficult to get the ball in the best position on the offensive end.
Yao Ming's physical condition is not as good as Howard, and sometimes he is helpless.
The Cavaliers are good for the Celtics in the second battle. The Celtics performed well by surprise and defeated the Cavaliers.
James has been targeted defense, but his performance is not bad, this time can only say that the Celtics offensively played well.
Rondo appeared to win a triple-double, and House was surprisingly accurate on the bench.
This is not the normal state of the Celtics, but if you win, you win. For a team like the Cavaliers that is very dependent on the core of tactics, it is easy to overturn if they are not prepared.
The second game between the Knicks and the Magic also started on time in Madison Square Garden.
Wu Huaiyuan raised the microphone and asked, "Coach Qi Li, what do you think will change in Magic."
"Nothing has changed." Qi Li replied very seriously, but feeling a little contemptuous. "Their routines come and go are the same. We just need to follow the plan."
The Knicks prepared easily and the fans were looking forward to it.
"The Eastern Wizard is very arrogant. Does the Knicks have any other cards?"
"He's right, the Magic is too watery except Howard."
"How do I feel that Howard is also a bit watery now, is it an illusion."
"It's an illusion, the coach is too bad, and the ball can't be delivered to Howard. In this regard, Van Gundy and Adelman have a fight, and it will not be used for the All-Star.
"I don't think so. The Magic didn't hold on in the end. If the Magic started, the Knicks might not be able to stand it. For the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Knicks' defense is definitely the worst."
Before the game, it was said that Courtney Lee would come back, but after the lineup came out, the Magic would still play.
Courtney Lee hasn't had that much impact on the game, and it is correct to be cautious on the road.
At the beginning of the game, the Magic started again, and there was nothing to do with the jump ball.
But then Turkoglu made a mistake and was intercepted by Marbury.
The Knicks are really familiar with Magic's routines. Turkoglu is the first opponent to pay attention to when the ball is not in Howard's hands. He is the starting point of the offense.
In turn, Chandler hit a three-pointer from the bottom line. He is now considered to be a good 3D, and every game is relatively stable.
After the Knicks took the lead, they continued to attack bravely. Marbury played very well in the opening game. The Magic are now paying attention to the Knicks' inside line. While his offense exploded Alstom, Marbury continued to pass good shots. Both Dele and Moreau scored three points.
In fact, compared to the Bulls in the first round, Marbury is more arbitrary.
The Magic's backcourt is really just average. If Howard hadn't created a no-fly zone in the penalty area, their defense would not be much better than the Knicks.
The defense of both sides is somewhat closed, this time it depends on the performance of their outside lines.
But the Magic did not show the advantage of a strong three-point team, Turkoglu and Lewis were stared tightly.
The forced shooting percentage in the second half of the game was very touching. They were a little cautious this time, but in contrast to the Knicks' offense, their caution seemed very hesitant.
Fortunately, they have a surprise, that is Redick, hit a few consecutive goals.
The Knicks' defense can't be comprehensive, and they will definitely focus on a few strong points first.
If there are other accidents, there is no time for the defense to make further adjustments. This is also a rational strategy.
Because the Magic players in the previous game had some problems with their physical strength at the end, especially Howard played almost full and the audience was too consumed. This Magic intends to give Howard plenty of rest time.
However, immediately went wrong.
First, Crawford started to explode, and then Eddie Curry made trouble on the inside.
After Howard went down, the Magic's defense was in a mess. Before their head coach Van Gundy could react, the Knicks led by double digits.
"Fuck, the Knicks' offense is too strong."
"How do I feel that the Knicks' rotation offense is better than the main lineup, and why the Magic are so good."
"It's not a grade at all. I didn't expect the two teams to have such a big gap."
Whether to replace Howard, the score expanded when Stan Van Gundy hesitated.
Only substitutions, neither Tony Barty nor Gortat can stop the Knicks' offensive inside.
After replacing Howard, the Knicks' inside line disappeared, but the outside line was still fierce.
Redick had no chance after being noticed, and the Magic players were almost beaten.
Fortunately, Lewis woke up and played two good shots in a row to stabilize the situation, otherwise the first half will become garbage time, even if there is a little water, the All-Star will still be the All-Star.
During the intermission, Stan Van Gundy couldn't help cursing.
The Magic didn't study the Knicks until the playoffs. The Knicks are so hot this season. The strong teams in the East have carefully studied them. They have targeted tactics, but they didn't expect them to be beaten on the court.
Their offense was completely missed, which is unacceptable to Stan Van Gundy.
And Howard was also angry at this time, "Said to give me more balls, I can kill them."
By the third quarter, Stan Van Gundy had no other way to let Howard try to change the situation in the low post.
But Qi Li had already guessed the opponent’s reaction. It was either a foul or a foul~EbookFREE.me~ Howard hadn’t had a chance at all, and he didn’t even hit half of his free throws when he stood on the free throw line. Don’t blame others for cutting him. If there are weak links, they will be targeted.
At this time, the Knicks' lead has come to 20+.
The Magic players have been completely messed up, Turkoglu played a few with the ball, which is a little bit of face.
The Knicks' bench once again showed off, the gap between the two sides continued to widen, and the final quarter became garbage time.
"This is the Eastern Conference semifinals. How did the Magic get into the playoffs."
"Can't say that, the Knicks are too strong, I feel they are stronger than the regular season."
"The Knicks are better off the bench than other teams. Eddie Curry plays the Magic and the rest of the inside line is O'Neal. Dragic is also very good. How could such a player fall into the second round..."
Stan Van Gundy was exhausted physically and mentally after 30 points of blood abuse.
