LeBron James, who has always been a well-rounded organizational striker, is indisputably one of his labels.
There are not many forwards who can make The Peak James frustrated! Paul Pierce, Sean Marion count one, and there is a person who must also count, that is, Hidut Kegru, this name may feel strange to many fans, because his peak period is not long, even, he has not yet reached the peak began to decline, more rarely, he is also an organizational striker, can make the peak James suffer from the organizational forward, I am afraid that only Turcoglu alone.
The 08-09 season, the entire season was promoting 23vs24, Kobe Bryant of the Lakers and James of the Cavaliers. The West Final Lakers were blocked by the Nuggets, the Cavaliers were also chased and blocked by the Magic, and finally the Lakers passed the thrill, Ariza 2 key steals, Kobe Bryant 2 single-game 40+, the Lakers 4-2 victory over the Nuggets to advance to the Finals, but the Cavaliers were not so lucky.
They were hit by the Magic in the first game, 1 second before the end of the second game, Turcoglu hit a quasi-kill, almost helped the Magic return home with a 2-0 lead, but was counter-killed by James, the third Magic won the game, and after the fourth game continued to win, they got the match point 3-1, and finally eliminated the Cavaliers 4-2, reached the Finals, and also broke Nike's spring and autumn dream of 23VS24.
Although Howard, who claims to be able to swap James alone, is the absolute core of the Magic, but it is Turcoglu who really plays a brain role on the court, as an organizational striker, he makes up for Alstom's weak control ability, and also fully activates Howard's scoring ability and Lewis's killer nature. It can be said that the main reason why the magic was so good that year was the tactical core of Turkoglu.
Throughout the series, Turcoglu did not shoot high, but averaged 17.2 points, 6.3 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game, and under his combing, the Magic 5 averaged double-figures per game, and finally defeated the powerful Cavaliers, beating LeBron James, who won MVP for the first time.
In the first game, the Magic completed the reversal after falling behind by 16 points at one point, Turkoglu delivered a game-high 14 assists, especially in the second half, Turkoglu sent 10 assists, 7 from the fourth quarter, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Tikogru played the possession forward, delivered 5 consecutive assists, the Magic rebounded by 3 points after a wave of 11-2, in the final moments of anxiety, Tekoglu scored 6 consecutive points and sent 2 assists, including a quasi-kill assist to Lewis.
In the second game, Teccoglu only delivered 4 assists, although he scored 21 points and hit a quasi-kill in the last 1 second, but James completed the counter-kill, the Cavaliers pulled back a city, and in the third game, Tecoglu scored 13 points on 11-of-11 shooting, but sent a quasi-triple-double performance of 10 rebounds and 7 assists, the Magic won again, and the fourth Game Turkoglu was a quasi-triple-double with 15 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists, helping the Magic to move to the next city.
Although the opposite James played better and more comprehensively, but Tecoglu is like a small James, the difference is that James has to score and assist, and Turcoglu only needs assists, because they have Howard and Lewis, and the whole series is down, as long as Tecoglu has more than 5 assists, the Magic all wins, Howard is the core, Lewis is the killer, and Turcoglu is the most critical engine.
Many people can't understand why the magic that has just reached the finals has disbanded. If Texoglu stayed, with the team's tactics and experience accumulation, the Magic had every hope of doing better, but just when the Magic was still immersed in the joy of returning to the Finals, Texoglu chose to leave the Magic and join the Toronto Raptors that offseason.
Toronto Raptors is a place that many stars do not want to go, but Tecoglu took the initiative to join, and even violated the verbal agreement with the Blazers, when Tekoglu has reached a 5-year 57 million contract agreement with the Blazers, and signed a 5-year 60 million contract with the Raptors, in addition to money reasons, more importantly, Tekoglu's wife is very eager for Toronto, which is a quite European-style city, and there are many Turks living there.
In the end, for the sake of the family, for the sake of his wife, for the sake of love, Turcoglu made a decision to change his career, this decision is undoubtedly wrong, he finally completely lost the championship, and it is difficult to find the state of the magic period, perhaps Tycoglu achieved that magic at the same time, it is also the magic that made Tecoglu.
If you have seen the performance of Tecoglu in the Magic in those years, I believe that many people will feel sorry for the decline of Tecoglu, when his status at the Magic was not only a starter, he was the only brain on the court, in addition to controlling the rhythm and sending assists, he also had a big heart, often shooting those key balls, these combined factors made Tecoglu the only organizational forward to make James suffer.
