Chapter 127 History repeats itself
In the second half of the game, the two sides continued to compete with the starting lineup of the first quarter.
The Magic strengthened their defense in the third quarter. It has to be said that Tyronn Lue is like a piece of brown sugar that cannot be shaken off. You have to ignore him, but you can’t. He will become a stumbling block on your offensive road. If you pay too much attention to him, There is no need for this.
This is Ling Bo's feeling. In the third quarter, Tyronn Lu began to limit Ling Bo desperately. Even if he was easily thrown away by Ling Bo twice, he still did not give up and defended very actively.
Although his strength is not directly proportional to his mental state, in other words, he is overwhelmed, but this kind of fighting spirit is still admirable.
Knowing that he can’t do it, this is Tyronn Lue’s defense. He really wants to help McGrady. He really wants to stay. Regardless of the team, he just wants to play safely. I don't want to wander anymore.
Tyronn Lue failed to defend Limbo twice, allowing Limbo to easily break through the inside, scored a layup, and assisted Eric Williams with a throw.
With these two goals, the Cavaliers once again took a 4-point lead.
Not to be outdone, McGrady made a dry shot from the outside line and hit the soul again, approaching the score.
However, after all, it is hard to beat four hands with two fists. Driven by Ling Bo, the Cavaliers played easily and efficiently. An 8-2 climax made the home fans instantly lose their spirits.
Finally McGrady couldn't bear to switch defenses.
Many people may think that McGrady is not an expert in defense, and his offense is far greater than his defense.The truth is that McGrady actually started out as a defensive player who did the dirty work.
In the 98-99 season, he became the only defender among the top 20 members of the league in blocks and offensive rebounds.His defensive talent comes from his ultra-long wingspan and excellent air superiority. In 1-on-1 situations, few people can get cheap in front of him. His grasp of space and understanding of the ball path make him always a defender. He is a good shot blocker, but after moving to Orlando, because he took on more offensive tasks for the team, his defensive awareness has slackened and his mentality has also changed.
But McGrady's height and wingspan combined with his instant explosive ability may be the only player in this Magic team who can slightly limit Limbo.
The contest between the two before the match also showed that it is very difficult for McGrady to defend against Ling Bo alone. In this five-person team battle, McGrady can slow down Ling Bo's speed through the help of Tyronn Lue.
If Limbo is not restricted, and he is allowed to play like this, attacking, passing, assisting, and stealing, then the Magic will really be opened up by the Cavaliers.
Seeing McGrady blocking the way, Ling Bo smiled slightly. During the bullfight during the day, the two actually understood their respective characteristics, and Ling Bo naturally found the loopholes in McGrady's defense.
His height and wingspan are indeed his advantages. For low post and post defense, he can even replace the power forward in the team.But this is also his weakness. The high center of gravity makes McGrady often miss defense, especially Ling Bo's figure, which is more slippery than a loach.
Ling Bo almost never handed his back to McGrady, it was a chance for him to block shots, so he just used Ling Bo to break through with small steps, especially after adding the change of direction, McGrady couldn't defend at all.
When Limbo slipped away from the flank, McGrady was not in a hurry, Tyronn Lue was already waiting, and when Lingbo passed the ball again and threw Tyronn Lue, McGrady had already caught up with Limbo.
Double-teaming and assisting defense, these are the methods used by the teams that have faced each other recently to defend Limbo. Of course, this is better than defending alone.
Ling Bo had already come to the basket, and successfully tricked Drew Gooden with a lever. When Ling Bo thought he was about to make a layup, a big hand behind him directly nailed the basketball to the backboard.
Capped?
That's right, McGrady's chasing hat.
After grabbing the rebound, McGrady quickly counterattacked, and the Cavaliers retreated quickly, but McGrady scored a one-stop layup.
"Dude, you're so ruthless, you don't show affection at all." After McGrady scored a goal, Ling Bo laughed and complained.
Maddie smiled, knowing that Ling Bo was just joking.
This chasing big hat and one-stop counterattack layup made the fans cheer again. It has been a long time since the home fans cheered so high. Some fans seemed to be suppressed by something. At this moment, they broke out, shouting, hysteria.
In the NBA, no player likes to be capped. This will make him very disappointed, and it will also lower the morale of his teammates, especially if he is ridiculed by the fans.Ling Bo was no exception, he didn't like being hated either, so he had to get it back this time.
Ling Bo dribbled the ball unhurriedly, while the fans were still chattering.
With a successful experience, McGrady stood in front of Lingbo again, but this time Lingbo took two steps back after dribbling.
The Cavaliers' teammates all knew why Ling Bo took two steps back, so it was natural to speed up and make a run-up distance.So the teammates opened up the space wisely, James went to the left corner, Newbell left a 45-degree angle, even Eric Williams went to the left of the free throw line, and the big Z also went to the left Side card slots.
Ling Bo is still in the backfield at the top of the arc, and on the right is Tyronn Lue who is ready to help defend.
Lingbo stepped out with small steps, and passed McGrady again with a change of direction, as if it was a repeat of the previous goal. Tyronn Lue defended again, but Lingbo didn't stop this time, but went faster. Tyronn Lue Can only continue to retreat.
Suddenly, a Ling Bo changed direction, and there was a set of dribbles from left to right. Tyronn Lu was originally retreating, his body's center of gravity was unstable, and was swayed by Ling Bo's change of direction, and he sat down on the ground.
Ling Bo didn't wait for McGrady to arrive, without a defender in front of him, he directly hit a jumper.
The Orlando fans were silent, why is this scene so familiar?
It's just that the Los Angeles fans who witnessed this scene last time were the same person who was knocked down, and the instigator was no longer Iverson, but Limbo.
After completing the attack, Limbo didn't step over Tyronn Lue like Iverson did, but jumped up excitedly and directly jumped over him.
McGrady patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, fortunately, Ling didn't take his anger out on me.
Tyronn Lu wants to cry but has no tears. Why is it always me who gets hurt? It was McGrady who covered you, so you can find him.
Being knocked down twice, and in almost the same position, Tyronn Lue's tragedy reached the extreme.So many years later, Tyronn Lue became the head coach of the Cavaliers, and whenever someone talked behind his back, he would discuss the fact that he was knocked down twice.
A disobedient player: You got knocked over by Iverson.
Tylen Lu: Can you not mention this matter.
A certain disobedient player: You have been knocked down.
Tyronn Lu: I don't want to be the head coach anymore, I want to resign.
Ling Bo used a gorgeous performance to silence the fans who were arguing, and at the same time told McGrady and Tyronn Lue that as long as I want to make a breakthrough, two people are not enough.
