Basketball's most talented forward is on the left
Chapter 421 Conquering Orlando!
In the end, relying on the brilliance of the outside three-point group, the Magic regained a victory in the away game and tied with a score of 1-1.
The Knicks' performance in this game was actually decent, but only in the starting lineup. Zuo Li scored 28 points, 14 rebounds, 5 blocks and 5 assists. His performance was as stable as ever. Randolph also scored 16 points, David Lee 14 points, Larry Hugh
Si had 8 points, Dragic had 7 points and 6 assists, and Chandler had 7 points.
In this campaign, the Magic's perimeter can be said to be in full bloom. The team shot a total of 28 three-pointers and hit 15 of them, with a shooting percentage of 53.5%. This is an excellent enough statistic.
The most outstanding player was undoubtedly Lewis, who had regained his touch. The All-Star made 10 of 16 shots, 4 of 7 three-pointers, and all 5 free throws. He scored 29 points and 5 rebounds.
The assists scored can be called the number one contributor to the Magic's victory.
Although Turkoglu was still heavily guarded and only scored 10 points, his 13 assists set a new high in assists in a single game in the playoffs this season.
In addition, Alston scored 12 points, Courtney Lee scored 9 points, and Pietrus scored 8 points.
To win this game, the Magic's outside line should be credited with the first success.
This also served as a foil to Howard's mediocre performance of 3 of 9 shots from the field and only 14 points and 9 rebounds. Encircled by the Knicks' three major insiders, Howard enjoyed the feeling of the previous Finals one round ahead of schedule.
However, although the data is not good, winning is the key. After the game, Howard was interviewed. He was in a very good mood and he still had thoughts to flirt with the beautiful reporters. The rumored 10 illegitimate children were indeed not in vain.
After flying back to Orlando that night, during an interview at the airport, Howard even said: "Our goal of going to New York has been achieved. Although it is only 1-1 at the moment, it is obvious that we have regained the home court advantage.
, this has achieved the goal, we can win the next two home games, listen to me, we will not let the New Yorkers win a victory here!"
Howard's words were extremely provocative and made Orlando fans scream. Many people fell into the fantasy of the Magic returning to the Finals after 15 years.
After all, what Warcraft said makes sense. If they can win these two home games, it will be exactly the same as when they played the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Even if the Knicks can come back one game at home, they still have a chance to end the battle in 6 games.
However, in the following four days, World of Warcraft used practical actions to educate people about what flags meant and that they should not be set up randomly.
Two days later, on May 25, G3 of the Eastern Conference Finals started with passion.
People in Orlando know that they can't compete with Madison in terms of quality and quantity of stars. Well, not even famous stars. After all, although there are many stars coming out of the Magic, most of them have fallen out with the team. When will you watch?
Former Magic leaders such as Shaquille O'Neal and Tracy McGrady say they are Magic legends.
So the Magic took a different approach and created an exaggerated vcr, showing various highlights from this season, and then put various messages from fans at the end.
Needless to say, at least Zuo Li watched it carefully. After all, basketball has more than just stars, ordinary fans are the most important.
The Magic players were also obviously inspired. They felt very good in the opening. Although Howard still did not challenge Zuo Li, they successfully defended them in the first defense. Turkoglu stole the ball passed to Zuo Li and then distributed it to Zuo Li.
Alston, the former New York streetball king, ran all the way to complete the layup, quite like an old man talking about being a teenager.
Then Howard finally wiped away the gloom of the first two games. First, he made a tip-in in the paint, and then cooperated with Turkoglu in a pick-and-roll. With a dunk, Howard could finally roar.
The fans at the scene were also very considerate, and the cheers were louder and louder. They were indeed one of the five teams with the highest attendance this season.
Compared with the Magic, the Knicks seem a bit tepid. They can score goals, but they always look very simple and bland.
Director Zhang said that the Knicks may have been suppressed by the atmosphere at the Magic's home court.
However, the fact is that the Knicks have always maintained a point difference of about 8 points, even in the second quarter when the Magic team felt the best. The main reason for this is that the Knicks team felt online tonight.
Keliu, who had average performance in the first two games, scored 14 points in the half, and Larry Hughes also scored 10 points in the first half for a long time. This set a new half-time high for the two of them in this playoffs, while Zuo Li,
Randolph and others also maintained the feel of the first two games.
So despite the overwhelming momentum of the Magic, in the last quarter, the point difference was still only 8 points.
However, Magic fans are very open-minded. What's wrong with 8 points? 8 points are still points, let alone 8 points. As long as you lead by 1 point, you have won.
However, just when they were all ready to celebrate their victory, the magic suddenly stalled!
Yes, it is that kind of sudden break, without any warning, but the shooting rate drops sharply. In the words of Director Zhang, it means that the cover of the basket is suddenly covered, and you can't make any reasonable shot!
Oh, if we have to talk about omens, we have to start with the key goal in the third minute of the fourth quarter.
At this time, the Knicks were still 8 points behind. Zuo Li naturally didn't want to sit still and wait for death. This was still a score that he could give a try to, so in spite of the boos from the sky, Zuo Li hit his first three-pointer. Howard failed to interfere, and added a score.
With a little bit of luck, the Knicks caught up to 5 points.
At this time, it may be that he hit the head, or he may be very confident in his shooting skills. The Magic chose a quick baseline ball and was originally planning to dunk it on the downhill monster, but Alston just went straight for it!
Three points!
Strike an iron blow in anger!
Randolph, who had just returned, happily accepted the rebound. Instead, the Knicks scored again, and the point difference was only 3 points in a blink of an eye.
At this time, things started to go wrong for the Magic. Although Turkoglu assisted Lewis and hit a goal, for 3 and a half minutes, the Magic only had this one goal from the free throw line. The other points came from the free throw line.
So although it was slow, the Knicks tied the score with 5 minutes and 45 seconds left in the game.
In the next few minutes, the two sides started a tug-of-war, with the Magic still taking the lead. It wasn't until Zuo Li scored the ball under the basket in the last minute that the Knicks equalized again.
But at this time, the Magic still had a chance, but neither Lewis nor Turkoglu, nor even the open Courtney Lee, could make a shot.
4 irons in a row!
The last attack allowed the Knicks to catch the ball and score the ball under the left basket. David Lee scored the go-ahead goal!
With 14 seconds left, the Magic has no timeout!
Lewis finally caught the ball and was blocked, and then he didn't make a move...
Lost, just lost...
"Oh, he didn't make a shot. Did Lewis remember the time wrong? So the Knicks fell behind for a whole game. They completed the reversal in the last 14 seconds, beating the Magic 105-103 by 2 points and regaining the home court advantage."
The commentator's words sealed the match. At this moment, Zuo Li scratched his head. He just won. Why does this feel a bit nihilistic?
