奥兰多在亚特兰大第三节的反扑面前短暂的震惊,但凭借统治级别的第四节重新掌控了局面
在开局不利之后,奥兰多魔术的替补席,由科尔·安东尼和安东尼·布莱克带领,抹平了老鹰早期的优势,在上半场一度领先多达22分,并在7/8名附加赛中守住了胜果。魔术将继续挑战卫冕冠军波士顿,而亚特兰大则进入了季后赛炼狱,周五晚上将迎战芝加哥和迈阿密的胜者。
老鹰全场的三分球命中率低得可怜,而奥兰多在投篮命中数(44-32)和篮板(54-42)方面都占据了明显的优势。替补后卫科尔·安东尼和安东尼·布莱克凭借他们的投篮、组织和活力,对奥兰多下半场的爆发起到了关键作用。
奥兰多方面,温德尔·卡特(Wendell Carter)(19分7篮板)和保罗·班凯罗(Paolo Banchero)(17分9篮板)表现出色。他们得到了来自替补席的有力贡献,安东尼(26分5助攻)和布莱克(16分4助攻)带领球队在第四节完成了最后一击,击败了老鹰。
亚特兰大的特雷·杨(Trae Young)(28分6助攻)——还能有谁呢——是球队的领袖,但当比赛已经失去悬念时,他因为幼稚的举动被判了两次技术犯规,而乔治·尼昂(Georges Niang)贡献了15分。
亚特兰大浪费了一个7投12中的出色开局,在第一节的最后七分钟里只命中了一次投篮。虽然班凯罗很难找到手感,但他非常慷慨地与队友分享球权,而其他轮换球员在最后18-4的进攻高潮中发挥了关键作用,让老鹰措手不及。布莱克是这次攻势的关键一环,奥兰多带着15分的优势结束了第一节。
安东尼(9分)和卡特(10分)承担了奥兰多在第二节保持这一巨大优势的责任。老鹰的三分球命中率仍然低于25%,直到第二节过半才超过30分。在奥兰多将领先优势扩大到22分后,亚特兰大稳住了阵脚,将差距缩小到14分。这个差距一直保持到上半场结束。
奥兰多所担心的那个特雷·杨在第三节出现了,他发起了一波攻势,帮助亚特兰大将差距缩小到66-70。魔术的各种投篮都无情地弹框而出,而充满活力的老鹰队抓住每一个机会奔跑,并不顾一切地冲击篮筐。特雷·杨的投篮图会显示他在魔术油漆区内的所有蓝色区域都命中了投篮。老鹰将差距缩小到3分,之后奥兰多的替补球员(安东尼和乔纳森·艾萨克)帮助他们重新拉开差距,并以79-73领先结束了第三节。
观察
- 老鹰的球员名字最酷:奥涅卡·奥孔古(Onyeka Okongwu),穆罕默德·盖伊(Mouhamed Gueye),扎卡里·里萨谢(Zaccharie Risacher),以及我最喜欢的R&B名字——卡里斯·勒韦尔(Caris Levert)。
- 亚特兰大的戴森·丹尼尔斯(Dyson Daniels)看起来像是攻防两端运动能力更强的凯尔·安德森(Kyle Anderson)。
- 班凯罗似乎在开局阶段有点用力过猛——几次突破都导致了尴尬的出手,还有一次盖帽和一次三不沾。
- 在比赛暂停期间,可以听到一种独特的哀号声在下层看台回荡。
- 特雷·杨花费了过多的比赛时间抱怨犯规判罚。德雷蒙德·格林(Draymond Green)会感到嫉妒。
- 奥兰多拥有前掘金球员加里·哈里斯(Gary Harris)和肯塔维奥斯·考德威尔-波普(Kentavius Caldwell-Pope)——两位我非常喜欢的后卫。
- 瓦格纳的三分球动作比杰里米·索汉(Jeremy Sochan)的更生涩。
- 比赛精彩瞬间#1: 在第一节中段,魔术后卫安东尼·布莱克在一次防守中盖掉了特雷·杨的投篮,并在进攻端命中了他的第一个三分球。
- 比赛精彩瞬间#2: 在上半场末段,科里·约瑟夫(Cory Joseph)在罚球线附近将球传给班凯罗,后者巧妙地将球分给乔纳森·艾萨克完成扣篮。片刻之后,艾萨克又用一个漂亮的击地传球助攻班凯罗上篮得分。
- 比赛精彩瞬间#3: 在第四节开始时,奥兰多的卡特命中了一记正面跳投,然后完全封盖了多米尼克·巴洛(Dominick Barlow)的冲筐扣篮尝试。
比赛回顾
附加赛专家特雷·杨抢断了魔术队一次失误的传球,并向奥涅卡·奥孔古送出了一记华丽的空接,为今晚的比赛拉开了序幕。前马刺球员科里·约瑟夫的一次转换上篮让奥兰多短暂领先。奥孔古命中了一记26英尺的远投(我没想到他有这种射程),让老鹰队重新领先。考德威尔-波普的三分球和布莱克的一波五分球让魔术队领先五分。在最后几分钟里,亚特兰大的进攻陷入冰冷——除了前马刺球员多米尼克·巴洛的进球——奥兰多趁机打出了一波18-4的进攻高潮,哈里斯的三分球为这一波攻势画上了句号,奥兰多以32-17领先。
当他没有自己得分时,奥兰多的安东尼巧妙地为他的内线球员创造机会,以帮助保持对老鹰的压力。卡特的侧翼三分球将亚特兰大的落后差距再次扩大到17分。在整个上半场的大部分时间里,特雷·杨(以及其他老鹰球员)都无法在三分线外找到准星。安东尼的三分球将领先优势扩大到20分。亚特兰大在比赛末段表现出复苏的迹象,打出了一波6-0的攻势,其中包括特雷·杨的第一个三分球。奥兰多以61-47领先进入下半场。
第三节开始时,亚特兰大的防守——特别是丹尼尔斯——在半场更靠前的位置对魔术队的球员进行了防守,在双方互有得分后,特雷·杨发动了一波攻势,展示了一系列令人眼花缭乱的抛投和托尼·帕克式的跑投。亚特兰大的侵略性也让魔术队在半节就进入了犯规奖励。丹尼尔斯受益于特雷·杨两次出色的传球,获得了得分机会。在这一节的几分钟时间里,瓦格纳和班凯罗的上篮是阻止老鹰疯狂反扑的仅有进球。亚特兰大将差距缩小到3分,之后安东尼在艾萨克的补篮后连续命中两次突破上篮。乔治·尼昂自己拿下5分后,奥兰多以6分的优势进入第四节。

Eastern Conference Play-In: Magic’s dominant fourth grounds Hawk’s rally and advances them 120-95
Orlando was stunned momentarily by Atlanta’s third quarter back but righted itself with a dominant fourth quarter
After an uneven start, the Orlando Magic bench, led by Cole Anthony and Anthony Black, erased an early Hawks advantage to go ahead as much as 22 in the first half and held on for the win in this 7/8 match-up. The Magic move on to take on defending champion Boston, while Atlanta faces a goes into playoff purgatory Friday night - taking on the winner of Chicago and Miami.
The Hawks were held to a miniscule 3-point shooting percentage for the whole game, and Orlando held a sizable advantage in field goal makes (44-32) and rebounding (54-42). Reserve guards Cole Anthony and Anthony Black were instrumental to Orlando’s second-half surge with their shooting, playmaking, and energy.
Orlando was paced by Wendell Carter (19 points and 7 rebounds) and Paolo Banchero (17 points and 9 rebounds). They received substantial bench contributions from Anthony (26 points and 5 assists) and Black (16 points and 4 assists), who led the final push in the fourth quarter to finish off the Hawks.
Atlanta’s Trae Young (28 points and 6 assists) - who else - led the way for his team and then was assessed two quick technicals for juvenile hijinx when the game was out of reach, while Georges Niang chipped in 15 points.
Atlanta wasted a fast 7-for-12 impressive start by hitting one field goal over the last seven minutes of the first quarter. While Banchero had a difficult time finding his touch, he shared very generously with his teammates, and the other rotation players were crucial in a closing 18-4 run to stun the Hawks. Black was a key part of that push, and Orlando left the first up 15.
Anthony (9 points) and Carter (10 points) took on Orlando’s responsibility in maintaining that considerable advantage in the second period. The Hawk’s 3-point shooting percentage stayed below 25% and they did not surpass the 30-point mark until more than halfway through the second. After Orlando pushed the lead out to 22, Atlanta steadied itself and closed within 14. That margin remained at the end of the half.
The Young that Orlando feared would materialize showed up in the third quarter to initiate a run to help draw Atlanta within 66-70. All manner of Magic shots fell harmlessly off the rim, and the energized Hawks ran at every opportunity and attacked the rim recklessly. Young’s shot chart would reveal he made shots from points all the blue Magic paint. The Hawks closed within three before Orlando’s bench guys (Anthony and Jonathan Isaac) helped push them back and close the third up 79-73.
Observations
- The Hawks have the coolest roster names: Onyeka Okongwu, Mouhamed Gueye, Zaccharie Risacher, and my favorite R&B name - (Caris) Levert.
- Atlanta’s Dyson Daniels looks like a far more athletic Kyle Anderson at both ends.
- It seemed like Banchero was trying to force the action a little too much in the opening stanza - several drives led to awkward chucks along with a block and an airball.
- There was a distinctive wail that made its way through the lower bowl during the stops in action.
- Young spends an inordinate amount of gametime complaining about foul calls. Draymond Green would be jealous.
- Orlando has former Nuggets Gary Harris and Kentavius Caldwell-Pope - two guards that I’ve liked a lot.
- Wagner’s three-point motion is hitchier than Jeremy Sochan’s.
- Sequence of the Game #1: Magic guard Anthony Black swatted away a Young attempt at one end midway through the first quarter and connected on his first three at the other end.
- Sequence of the Game #2: Late in the opening half, Cory Joseph fed Banchero at the free throw line, and he shoveled a deft dime to Jonathan Isaac for a dunk. Moments later, Isaac dropped off a sweet bounce pass to Banchero for a lay-up.
- Sequence of the Game #3: Orlando’s Carter hit a straightaway jumper and then completely erased Dominick Barlow’s rim-running dunk attempt to start the fourth quarter.
Game Rundown
Play-in extraordinaire Young stole an errant Magic pass and fed Onyeka Okongwu a gorgeous lob to start the evening. A transition lay-up by former Spur Cory Joseph put Orlando up for a moment. Okongwu, who I didn’t think had this type of range, hit a 26-footer to put the Hawks back up. A three by Caldwell-Pope and a five-point flurry by Black put the Magic up five. Atlanta went ice cold over the last handful of minutes - save for a (former Spur) Dominick Barlow bucket - and Orlando took advantage with a closing 18-4 run punctuated by a Harris three to go up 32-17.
When he wasn’t getting buckets of his own, Orlando’s Anthony deftly set-up his big men to help keep the pressure on the Hawks. Carter’s wing three pushed the Atlanta deficit back out to 17. Young (nor the other Hawks) could not connect from behind the arc throughout much of the opening half. Anthony’s three pushed the lead to 20. Atlanta showed signs of life with a late 6-0 run, including Young’s first three. Orlando went into the half up 61-47.
To start the third, Atlanta’s defense - particularly Daniels - met Orlando’s players further up in the halfcourt, and after some baskets were traded, Young kickstarted a run, wielding a dizzying array of floaters and Tony Parker-like runners. Atlanta’s aggression also drew the Magic into the foul bonus halfway through. Daniels was the beneficiary of two great Young feeds for scoring chances. For a number of minutes through the frame, Wagner’s and Banchero’s lay-ups were the only field goals that fended off the furious Hawks rally. Atlanta got to within three before Anthony paired two knifing lay-ups around an Isaac tip-slame. Orlando went to the fourth up six after Georges Niang put up five of his own.
