After Su Jiu made a hilarious three-non-stick shot, Stan Van Gundy off the court also felt dumbfounded.
For a while, I didn't know what Su Jiu was thinking on the field, and I really wanted to take his head off and study what he was thinking at the moment.
"Ahem..., it may be that the person who is facing him suddenly became Brandon, so this little guy is a little excited, don't worry, after all, this guy is very stable."
After seeing Su Jiu make a non-stick shot, although the assistant coach Meng Di wanted to laugh very much, he still tried his best to restrain himself.
After all, he can be regarded as a professionally trained person, and he would never laugh out loud under normal circumstances...
After Brandon Roy was mentioned by McMillan as the starter in the second half, the overall style of play on the Blazers side did not actually make much difference.
Because whether it is when Blake is on the court or when Fernandez is on the court, it will be Roy's turn to own the ball after halftime, and others are destined to play a role relative to off the ball.
Therefore, although Fernandez replaced Blake in the starting lineup, the Blazers did not change too intuitively from the overall style of play.
However, although the style of play did not have too much direct impact, in terms of effect, an earth-shaking change has indeed taken place on the Blazers side.
Compared with Steve Blake, Fernandez's threat off the ball can be said to be more than a level higher.
Adding the point of Brandon Roy being mentioned as the No. [-] position also made it impossible for Su Jiu to start killing insiders unscrupulously on the offensive end.
Although Roy's movement speed can't be called very fast, and his defensive ability can't be called a top defender, compared to Blake and Rodriguez, Su Jiu still feels more pressure.
So after returning in the second half, the Blazers gradually started to counterattack. After all, the five players on the Blazers currently have good personal abilities.
Even Outlaw, who has the worst offensive ability, has an average of 11.3 points per game this season.
In the end, at the end of the three quarters, the Blazers also successfully pulled back the score on the away game:
73:74
Just one point behind the Magic.
For these two top teams in the league, a one-point difference is equivalent to no point difference, so the situation after the end of the third quarter also made Stan Van Gundy a little anxious.
I am afraid that the only good news for the Magic at present is that Greg Oden is currently burdened with playing time restrictions, so he will basically not play again in the fourth quarter.
For the Magic, I am afraid this can be regarded as a rare piece of good news in this game.
"At the end of the third quarter, the Trail Blazers also successfully narrowed the score to one point. After returning from the third quarter, Mike's change of bringing Brandon to the No. [-] position has indeed had a great effect."
"Although the Trail Blazers did not have a traditional point guard on the court to organize, the Trail Blazers did not need Steve to sort out the team's offense too much before."
"And Steve's end made Su, who showed great power in the first half, suffer a great restriction."
"Although Rudy (Fernandez)'s personal defensive ability is also very bad, but another defender of the Magic is Michael (Pietrus), a player who also has not outstanding offensive ability."
"So it was such a subtle change. After coming back in the second half, the Trail Blazers took the opportunity to launch a round of fierce offense, and finally narrowed the score to one point."
Kenny Smith: "It is true that Sue's offensive efficiency in the third quarter has obviously had a big decline when facing Brandon's defense."
"And Su couldn't open from the outside, and Dwight was more or less restricted inside this game, so the Magic's offense in the third quarter also had a power outage that lasted for several minutes."
"It was also in this situation that the Blazers took the opportunity to even out the score, allowing the two sides to basically return to the same starting line."
Barkley: "However, there is another favorable thing for the Magic, that is, although Rudy was mentioned in the starting lineup by Mike, this is equivalent to weakening the offensive firepower of the Blazers in the bench lineup in disguise."
"So in the first half of the fourth quarter, the two sides will definitely send a substitute lineup for a short period of time to compete. If the Magic can seize the opportunity in this case, I am afraid it will have a great impact on the decisive battle at the last moment."
"Even if Mike chooses to take his starting lineup in advance, he will eventually suffer some irreversible consumption in terms of physical strength."
"So what the result of this game will be, let us look forward to the contest between the two sides in the fourth quarter."
After returning from the fourth quarter, the two sides also temporarily sent a substitute lineup on the field to allow the main players to get more rest time.
After all, the game has reached the final stage, and the amount of physical strength can definitely dominate the final trend of the game.
In order to allow the starting lineup to chase points as much as possible, McMillan added Lightning Fernandez to the starting lineup in the third quarter.
Fernandez's end still has a great impact on the weakening of the Blazers' bench lineup.
After all, in the past when Fernandez was on the court, many of the Blazers' running tactics were tried around him, but now that Fernandez is off the court, the Blazers' bench lineup will be Blake as the absolute ball-handling organization.
Although the Trail Blazers' second team with Blake on the field can't be called a mess, but the offensive threat has definitely dropped significantly.
So after the fourth quarter, the Magic's substitute led by Nelson also had the upper hand without any suspense, and was slightly better in the deal with the Trail Blazers.
This absolute advantage in the lineup also allowed the Magic to re-establish a weak lead and slowly began to expand the score on the court.
Seeing this trend, McMillan was also a little anxious off the court, looking up at the time trend on the court, silently calculating the rest time of the main players.
Unlike McMillan, who was slightly anxious, as time went by bit by bit, the Magic's score on the court gradually began to expand.
This scene also made Stan Van Gundy take a long breath off the field.
But before Stan Van Gundy settled down for too long, McMillan couldn't sit still at all, and took advantage of a dead ball stage to get his main lineup ahead of time.
Seeing the substitution on McMillan's side, Van Gundy's heart tightened, and he didn't dare to make a big deal at all. He just waved his big hand and replaced all his main players.
With 7 minutes and 46 seconds left before the end of the game, the real decisive battle of this game is about to start...
