Whether it is the substitution, or the counterattack after the substitution, the Magic did not take a single step. Even if you insist on going down Gott, you should consider the defensive problem at the fourth position. With both the periphery, it may be a good choice to go to Contney Lee.

Unfortunately, no.

Looking at the matchups, first of all, it is very likely that any Magic's defense will not be successful. Secondly, they obviously attached too much importance to Artest's role in Rockets' offense.

This x-factor, which is unstoppable to Magic, is probably just a disruptor for the Rockets. After all, they rely on two guns or three guns from Yunshan and mist.

Although after the substitution, the Magic's first offense was left to Howard to complete, the action itself had already caused his unhappiness. He wanted to know what Van Gundy wanted to do to let the Musketeers take over the game again?

It cannot be said that Howard is too sensitive and can only blame the magic tactics for being capricious, without a specific core. Which team does the star of Howard go to, and the first thing he wants is not the boss status?

The second in commander, only soft girls are willing to do it.

Van Gundy's behavior not only looks like an impermanent villain, but also seriously challenges Howard's bottom line. If a head coach's actions in the game make the team's star unable to play with peace of mind, it's time for him to get out of class based on this alone.

In order to maintain his position, Howard was again powerful. He grabbed Scola's mentality of thinking that he would hook, and suddenly made a strong breakthrough, completing another dunk, attracting the spotlight of the audience to him.

The only regret is that when the situation is not good, Scola immediately flashed and did not even move to reach out. You can say that he is a coward, but you should also think about it. Why is he reluctant to use any of the fouls he left so many times?

This naturally-official idea made Howard a little uneasy. Although he demonstrated his dominance through this dunk, he did not feel happy.

In this battle, the magic was determined to win, but as they fought, different thoughts inevitably arose.

On the field, the movements can be complicated, and the tactics can be complicated, but the mind cannot be complicated.

Whether Howard is worried or not, the team's outside line will eventually open fire, which is impossible to avoid. Now, what he wants to see is exactly what the proportion is.

The most annoying thing is that the Rockets seem to care about what Howard did or how many points they scored. After the ball entered, their actions were the same every time: a guy ran out, ran out of the baseline with the ball, and handed it in and handed it to Xiao Han.

Seeing that the magic tactics were all this, the Rockets also developed their own style of play. Under Xiao Han's organization, McGrady and Brooks frequently fired guns on the outside, some invading and some inaccessible, but they were happy to play and every move was very reasonable.

The Magic also passed the ball, and even passed more times each time the attack was attacking than the Rockets. After all, they did not have a point guard like Xiao Han, so they could only look for opportunities through passing down.

It seems that the two sides play similarly, and the Magic's rebounding is more guaranteed, but in fact, because the defenses of both sides are not at the same level, the Rockets' offensive success rate is obviously much higher than that of the Magic.

A good shooting feel cannot be found every day. Today, the Magic's shooting group is obviously not as good as the day of the first battle. With the existence of defense, everyone feels uncomfortable and can't satisfy themselves no matter how they shoot.

It is easy to go in a good state, but it is easy to come. Brooks felt that he was unprecedentedly good at the start of the ball. He could do so, and he was very bad at Nelson's defense. In the first quarter, Browne was able to take it with him, making all three-pointers and two-pointers, scoring two-pointers, scoring the team's highest 13 points, suppressing McGrady.

McGrady is also good. Although his overall shooting percentage was less than 40% in the last game, there was still a significant gap compared to his peak period, but the superstar's strength is stable. In this quarter, his shots were the same as Brooks, with three shots of six shots. Including his energy at the beginning, it was a situation of maintaining stability.

Xiao Han's performance is different from his teammates. He still focuses on passing, and his attack has also been replaced by small throws during marching. This is the skill of the little defender when he meets the big center, and Howard has no choice but to do anything about him. The Rockets' few inside scores, except Scola, are all contributed by him, and Artest is nothing.

This is a worry for nothing, because they were afraid that Artest would go to the inside to play, so they sent the best defender outside Howard to guard him. However, Arte didn't even have a basic ** and wasted his talents a lot.

31 to 24, the Rockets' defense seems to be aimed at suppressing the Magic's hit rate, and there is not much crazy pressing, which is completely different from when dealing with the Lakers. With Howard's good performance, it seems unlikely to press the Magic's Dern lower. However, the Magic's defense is too bad, and even the inside has fallen, making the Rockets' single-quarter score easier to break through the 30 mark.

Re-mentioned old sayings, defense is the fundamental one. Teams like the Magic do have the offensive firepower of the Eastern Conference champion, but unfortunately they only have the defensive intensity of the regular season. It is really difficult for such a team to break through the last step.

The Rockets' double guns are Brooks and McGrady? At the beginning of the second quarter, the competitive atmosphere between the two sides eased. Seeing that although Brooks was in a hot state, he did not continue to stay on the court, but enjoyed the treatment of the main player. He was drinking Gatorade, covered with a blanket on his legs, and sat on the chair with a serene satisfaction. Van Gandy began his new round of speculation.

Now, Lowry and Bathir are on the way, and their styles are both stable. Even if the Magic want to play a chaotic battle, it is impossible to take the opportunity to get some points back. There is still a problem with their inside line. Gott's emotions were completely gone after being touched by the first quarter. Landry seized the opportunity and made continuous strong attacks at the basket, which further hit the players' self-confidence.

I thought the team had discovered the opportunity to win the championship without meeting the Lakers. Now, the Magic players discovered that the Rockets were able to eliminate the Lakers, and their strength was obviously not as bad as they imagined, and it seemed that they had steadily surpassed them.

Originally, the fans were wondering why Xiao Han did not start a big kill in the first quarter, helping the team to completely widen the score. In the second half of the second quarter, he joined hands with Brooks to show his strength while McGrady was resting, and of course he was the protagonist.

In the third quarter, Adelman was prepared for the last chance of the Magic's counterattack. Instead, he let Bathier start. The iron gate on the outside took shape again, forcing the Magic to hand the ball to the inside again.

Why did Scola be careful throughout the first half? Now the answer has been revealed. He only played less than 7 minutes in the third quarter, but quickly lost 5 fouls. Basically, every threatening attack, Howard was either hugged or pulled down by him, which made the Magic unable to take off.

At the end of the half, the Magic had already fallen behind by 11 points 59 to 48, and now they are not in the momentum, so the game is almost gone.

In the Rockets' third quarter, the focus of defense was on the inside, and the focus of offense was still on the outside. Xiao Han and McGrady made 7 three-pointers together, directly nailing the Magic to the pillar of shame.

Another 34 points in a single quarter. After three quarters, the Rockets scored 93 points, which was almost the entire game of the Magic in the last game. The Magic, who lost points in each quarter, only scored 72 points.

In the third quarter, the score difference of more than 20 points was similar to the Lakers' 40-point victory over the Rockets, because everyone could see that the Magic had no longer had the mood to resist.

Now, they just want to go back to Orlando.
