magic coach

"Although Edison obviously shortened the playing time of Nash and other main players in this game, we can still clearly feel that Edison was not slacking off in this game as many people expected. He still made every player perform their best.

The greatest strength. The youngest head coach in the league has not been constrained by the so-called future. Although the personnel are different, he still uses his best tactical ideas to defeat his opponents. So now the Heat - you have to be careful,

The people who eliminated you last season are back again."

——espn Markstein column

After O'Neal read it, he opened his big mouth that looked like two braised hams and handed the news to the rookie Simon next to him with disdain.

And Simon quickly took it, not daring to waste any time from the Sharks. This is how nb is. Next to the eldest brother in the locker room is the rookie kid, and then the eldest brother stuffs the things that can't fit in his locker into the younger brother's place. As a rookie, the younger brother can only

I can bear it. This has to do with character. Even Duncan did this. According to Gang Leader Qiao, "This is a kind of welcome ceremony for newcomers in nb."

"Shaquille, the Magic have really played very fiercely during this period, and their results after the All-Star Game are the best in the league. And the most frightening thing is that their record is not the result of all-out efforts, they are recuperating in a kind of rotation.

It was completed in a very entertaining state, and they achieved such good results with a very entertaining feeling.”[

"Magic Counter" Pat Riley saw O'Neal's expression and knew what the league's fattest man was thinking, so he reminded him and also made other players notice this.

"Coach, do you mean that the Magic will still be our main competitor in the playoffs this year? Might it cause us trouble?" Unlike O'Neal, Wade is much more cautious. After all, compared to O'Neal, who eliminated Jordan that year.

Compared to other players, the Flash's experience is still much smaller. He doesn't have any records that can make him look down on others. And although the outside world has said a lot about him, he has not lost it. Wade still carefully examines every opponent.

After listening to Wade's words, Pat Riley touched his polished back with his hand, then lit a cigar, took a puff of it in ecstasy, and said leisurely.

"No, our biggest opponent in the Eastern Conference this year is the Pistons. The Magic are still a little bit behind and not qualified yet. We have an absolute advantage."

"Absolute advantage? I think their lineup is also very strong. The starting lineup is reasonable, the bench is strong, and the offensive tactics are diverse. It can be said that they are almost perfect. On the defensive end, only Nash is below the standard, but he is also

It was made up for by the efforts of the whole team. I really can’t think of where our advantage is.”

Wade's question was not only his own. Everyone else in the Heat also turned their attention to the magician. Even the experienced Payton pretended not to care and raised his ears.

"Yes, the Magic players are indeed very good. I really admire Edison for putting together such a lineup in two years. I asked myself if I can't do it. I believe that other coaches in the league can't do it either. They have not done it before.

No one can do it. It can be said that his team-building ability is definitely the strongest in the history of the league. But compared with his team-building ability, his coaching ability is much worse. Don't look at how he is praised outside.

How, but in my opinion, he is still a rookie and he does not understand many things. Therefore, the biggest problem for the Magic is not the players, but the coach. Although Paul Edison can control these talents, he has not brought out the best of them.

All abilities. Today's magic is like a deformed person, with a strong body, but no brain enough to mobilize the body. Edison made many mistakes. Now some of these mistakes are not obvious, and some are relatively easy to compete with.

The atmosphere was buried, but in the playoffs, some problems were fatal."

The "Magic Fortune Teller" became more and more excited as he talked, but when he reached the climax, he suddenly stopped. He held a cigar in his mouth, glanced at everyone sitting around, and then said confidently, "To be specific, wait until now."

You'll know when we meet the Magic in the playoffs."

In fact, at this stage of the season, any team that has some pursuit or actual goal of not just entering the playoffs has begun to study other teams. And for the strong teams in the league, Edison's Magic is a

There is an obstacle that cannot be bypassed. At this moment, it is not just Pat Riley who is observing and analyzing the magic. Others are also looking at this young guard like wolves.

At this moment, Edison doesn't know that he has been watched by a group of weird uncles. He is still simply thinking about how to catch up with the Heat and even the Pistons in front of him, and then strive to win a championship, so that the management has no excuse to fire him.

So under the guidance of Edison's wish, the Magic began to work hard in March, winning three consecutive games: the Warriors, the Pacers, and the Wizards, extending their winning streak after the All-Star Game to more than 10 games. But they followed closely.

Then they met one of the strongest teams in the league-the Dallas Mavericks.

The Magic and Mavericks are both the top offensive teams in the league, so this game is destined to be a dark one.

The last time at the American Airlines Center, the Mavericks defeated the Magic at home. Although it has been several months, the Magic players still remember it clearly, so this time it is an old grudge.

The game was exciting from the moment Howard won the jump ball. First, Terry relied on his advantage of being faster than Nash to take the lead and poke away the ball passed by Howard.

Josh Howard also reacted quickly and went to grab the ball immediately. As a result, he used his physical advantage to push Roy to the outside and control the ball in his own hands.

After gaining the ball, Josh did not slow down, adjusted his steps, and rushed directly towards the Magic basket.

In his opinion, the Magic's insiders Howard and Brand were still near the center circle at this time, and there was no time to withdraw to defend. His goal should be a sure shot.

But when he was about to dunk, Iguodala came back with the speed of an Olympic 100-meter jumper, jumped from behind him, and then flew in front of him.

The two players pressed each other's hands together. In the end, Iguodala's arm became thicker and he slapped the ball out of bounds.[

This series of lightning-fast offense and defense transitions definitely reflects the highest level of world basketball. Many slow commentators didn't have time to speak, and all of this happened. They could only watch in slow motion, and then click on it bit by bit.

Analyze what just happened.

The Mavericks' inbound ball came out. Nowitzki caught the ball and shook it. Seeing that Brand didn't dare to completely follow him to the outside of the three-point line, the German tank gained space and directly shot a three-pointer and hit it.

"It seems that the Germans have a good touch today, we should be more careful." Thibodeau said to Edison as if he was talking to himself.

"That's right. It seems we need him to consume more energy on the defensive end."

After Edison finished speaking, he took a step forward, almost stepping on the sideline, and then whistled, like a player making a tactical gesture.

After seeing Edison's gesture, the Magic players communicated with each other with their eyes, and then began to run tactical routines under the command at that time.

Edison made a big move, and the fans and broadcasters on the sidelines also noticed it. Even some diehard Magic fans could see the meaning of Edison's tactical gesture - Brand singles.

Although we all say that the physical talents that make him famous in the NBA are incredible, but Brand is still much more ordinary compared to those animals. Basically, except for wingspan, he has no other special talents.

.

He doesn't have Garnett's flexibility, Duncan's perfect interior body proportions, and his tonnage and strength may not be comparable to Dampier's, not to mention O'Neal.

Even the wingspan mentioned earlier is offset by his huge disadvantage in height.

It's true that you rely on people to eat mountains and water to eat water. Use whatever you have. Brand does not have the kind of physical talent that has been seen for many years, nor does he have extraordinary skills. Whether it is low-post footwork or mid-range shooting, he has nothing to do with it.

It can only be called solid, not amazing. These two factors doomed Brand's offense to not be that explosive.

Brand's offense relies on rhythm and variety. It's like a combination of punches in boxing. The punch alone looks average and should be able to be defended. Even if it hits, it won't cause much damage.

Killing, but the power of a combination increases to a geometric level. If you guard him in the low post and hit him, he may lift up and directly shoot in the middle. Vice versa, if you follow him out, he may stick his butt and arch towards the basket.

Most people simply can't stand him.

What's more, the one he faced today was Nowitzki, who had extraordinary defense.

Although Brand looks dull, which makes people think that his IQ is not as good as McGee, he is actually very flexible. He instantly realized the purpose of Edison asking him to fight.

So he didn't pursue the goal, but bumped into Nowitzki, which not only consumed his energy, but also made his muscles sore and made him lose his shooting touch.

In fact, this is the same reason why you must hit the opponent's hand as hard as possible when you commit a foul. After a few times Brand came down, Nowitzki felt that he was in trouble. Especially when his stomach was hit by Brand's elbow, which almost caused his heart to break.

All the music was spit out

Although Nowitzki also wanted to follow the tactics written in many cartoon scripts, withstand the tactics of annihilating the opponent's body, suddenly burst out with amazing combat power, and then defeat the opponent alone. But the reality is cruel, Nowitzki once again

When I took the shot, I didn't use enough force due to physical discomfort, so I made a three-shot shot.

This is the Mavericks. Nowitzki is no longer good, and there are Terry, Stackhouse and others. The team's scoring has not dropped.

But after all, the Mavericks team is built around the German tank, and people like Dampier exist to cooperate with him. Now that Nowitzki is gone, these people have disappeared.

Terry and others were able to save a moment or a section, but they could not save the entire game.

Especially after Edison began to let Iguodala, Rondo and other defensive heroes compete with the opponent one by one, the Mavericks began to show their decline.

And Magic is particularly good at hitting tailwinds and knows how to turn a tailwind into a winning streak.[

When Nowitzki missed a three-pointer in the last 3 seconds of the game, and Brand, who grabbed the rebound, made two free throws, the game was completely over.

In the end, the Magic defeated the Mavericks at home 112-106.

Apart from an amazing three-pointer at the beginning, Nowitzki's performance was mediocre later on. He only scored 15 points and made only 6 of 19 shots, with a shooting percentage of less than 35%.

He Brand performed well, rarely scoring over 25 points, scoring 28 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists, and was elected the best of the game.
