Winning 3 consecutive victories, the 7-for-1 trade worked hard! After the 3-point buzzer-beater, the Magic finally found Bane s instructions

Reversed and won 3 consecutive victories, the big 7-for-1 deal finally took effect! After the 3-point buzzer-beater, the Magic finally began to gradually find Bane's instruction manual.

Magic won 3 consecutive games

After defeating the Knicks in the previous game, the Magic faced a contest with the Eastern Conference underdog Nets, who were at the bottom with 1 win and 10 losses before the game. In the end, the Magic defeated the Nets 105-98 and won 3 consecutive games. The Nets suffered their 11th loss in the first 12 games of the season.

Although the point difference was close to double digits, the Magic were actually beaten by the Nets throughout the game. At halftime, the Nets even led for the first time in the season into the intermission.

Fortunately, at the decisive moment, the Magic's special player Silva hit a key three-pointer, and Wagner, who had been iron-clad for the whole game, redeemed himself with two three-pointers. The Magic relied on a wave of 13-0 attacks to reverse and win the victory. Compared to winning 3 consecutive victories, for the Magic, it was more gratifying to find Bain's manual during this wave of 3-game winning streak. The large-scale 7-for-1 trade finally began to take effect.

Find Bain's manual

Bain made 7 of 18 shots in this game and scored 19 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists in a relatively inefficient way. His performance seemed unsatisfactory.

But in fact, compared with the beginning of the season, Bain's performance has been significantly improved. This game seems to be inefficient. In fact, the plus-minus value of +16 ranks first in the game. At the same time, he has consistently delivered high production in three consecutive games.

In the first two games, Bain scored 22 points, 3 rebounds, and 7 assists, and 22 points, 6 rebounds, and 8 assists. It was the first time since the start of the season that he scored at least 15 points in three consecutive games.

More importantly, Bane made 3 of 7 three-pointers from outside with a good efficiency, and this is exactly what the Magic are most looking forward to happening.

And Bane also delivered a good three-point shooting performance in the previous game, and it all started when the team's winning tactics were discovered by the opponent at the decisive moment against the Trail Blazers. Bane was ordered to make a difficult three-point shooting outside of the tactics.

Since that game, the Magic have clearly found Bane's instruction manual, which is to let Bane hold the ball more and take more shots.

This is demonstrated intuitively in terms of data. In the past three games, Bane took 15+ shots in a row for the first time in the season. In the game when he hit a three-pointer to win, Bane took a season-high 19 shots. Then in the next strong match against the Knicks, Bane played his best game of the season.

Bain's performance has always been like this so far in his career. He is a productive and efficient three-point shooter, but not an efficient scorer. His career shooting percentage has never exceeded 50%.

At the same time, Bane is not a three-point end point in the conventional sense, but a typical ball-holding three-pointer. He needs to hold the ball in his hand for a long time to find his shooting rhythm. Playing as an off-ball end point is inefficient.

Magic Sweet Trouble

Therefore, for the Magic, after finding Bain's instructions, the team still faces sweet troubles, because the team's original two cores, Wagner Jr. and Banqueiro, as all-around forwards, also need a lot of ball rights.

Originally, Banqueiro took most of the ball, which prevented Wagner from firing unscrupulously. Now, Bane is added as a shooter who needs to share the ball. There is also Suggs in the backcourt who is also used to holding the ball for a long time. One ball on the field is obviously not enough to score points.

Take this game as an example. After Banqueiro was absent, Wagner Jr. and Bain shared the ball with great effect. The former scored 25+6+5 in the decisive moment and hit consecutive key three-pointers, while the latter scored 19+ points in three consecutive games.

But all this was based on Silva, who replaced Banqueiro in the starting position, becoming a surprise player and scoring 22 points and 9 rebounds. Most of his shots came from outside three-pointers, and he was 5 of 9 three-pointers in the game.

Therefore, the Magic team, which spent a lot of money to win 7-for-1 to form the young Big Three, wants to go one step further and truly attack the championship. The premise is that it needs to balance the internal distribution of ball rights and try to add more off-ball three-point endpoints through internal excavation and external signings. Only then can it hope to truly bring the Big Three together.
