The convulsion superstar of basketball

Chapter 210 209. Meeting a Knight (Part [-])

February 1.

As time passed, a heavyweight match was ushered in the league on this day.

That is, the Magic, currently ranked second in the East, will sit at home to meet the challenge of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The two teams played against each other at the beginning of this season, but Su Jiu couldn't attend that game due to a strained groin, so the team regretted losing that game in the end.

And that game not only ended the Magic's six-game winning streak, but also gave the Magic their first defeat of the season.

It was also the loss of that game that caused many outside experts to launch a crusade against the Magic and label the Magic as unable to fight a tough battle.

Although after that, the Magic also relied on their own strength to abruptly reach the No. [-] position in the league, thus washing away some of their image.

However, as the Magic entered this wave of losing streak after [-], they also succeeded in allowing the Cavaliers behind them to take advantage of the trend and climbed to the top of the Eastern Conference.

Therefore, the match between the Magic and the Cavaliers in this game is not only a strong dialogue in the league, but also a psychological game.

After all, the two teams have been the Big Macs in the Eastern Conference so far, but anyone who wants to enter the finals and strive for the championship.

Then on the road to the playoffs, both sides will be one of the obstacles on the way to each other's championship.

So whether it is a meeting in the regular season or in the playoffs, both sides will definitely go all out and will not neglect in the slightest.

After all, the victory or defeat of the regular season will also cause some psychological changes to the players. If one team is swept by the other in the regular season, then when the two teams meet in the playoffs, I am afraid that the momentum will be weaker.

But it is a pity that in the game against the Dallas Mavericks, the team's second scorer Lewis also had to truce because of a strained right knee ligament.

This also led to the second match between the two teams this season, and the Magic still had an incomplete lineup.

So it can be said that it was a [-]-[-] situation, but now it is gradually starting to be somewhat unfavorable to the Magic.

At least in the pre-match expert predictions, the chances of the Cavaliers winning away games are far greater than that of the Magic.

After all, the current Cavaliers are not only well-staffed, but also just played a wave of four-game winning streak in the previous season and successfully surpassed the Magic, reaching the top of the Eastern Conference.

So in this case, even though the Magic are playing at home, they still feel tremendous pressure.

Even in terms of pressure, it is definitely far greater than the Cavaliers. After all, the Cavaliers have won the Magic once this season. Even if they lose this game, it can only be said to be harmless and a little regrettable.

But once the Magic lose again in this game, I am afraid that some changes in the outside world will become more unfavorable.

Before the start of this game, the entire Orlando arena was full of seats. After all, there will not be many strong dialogues in this league in a season.

What's more, what the Magic faced in this game was still the Cavaliers, a major player in the Eastern Conference. Therefore, as long as fans have time and conditions, there is absolutely no reason not to come to the scene to support.

It is worth mentioning that the fruit sister Katy Perry also came to watch the game and cheer for Su Jiu.

Su Jiu has gradually become accustomed to the fact that Katy Perry came to watch him play and cheer for him.

Since the two had dinner together last time, the two of them have become a little familiar with each other, and the conversation is more calm and natural, without the embarrassment of not knowing what to say at all.

Seeing the slightly familiar figure sitting in the front row, Su Jiu, who was warming up for shooting, also smiled at Katy Perry.

Although Su Jiu didn't have much confidence in this game, after all, Lewis still played a vital role for the Magic.

His absence will definitely make it difficult for the Magic to adapt offensively.

After all, the entire Magic team averaged 15 points per game this season, and only three players, Howard, Su Jiu and Lewis.

Therefore, the absence of Lewis is by no means a simple matter for the Magic. Otherwise, the Magic would not have lost to the Knicks, the top garbage team in the league...

However, even though the current situation of the team can be called a bit dire, it still does not prevent Su Jiu from having an optimistic attitude.

Seeing Su Jiu smile to herself on the field, Katy Perry stood up immediately off the field, and generously blew a kiss to cheer for Su Jiu.

Although the two of them haven't made any real progress at the moment, because Su Jiu is like a lump of wood.

To be precise, this guy is completely pretending to be confused, which makes Katy Perry feel very helpless.

But the more Su Jiu was like this, the more fascinated Katy Perry was.

Because this seems to mean from the side that Su Jiu is not the kind of slutty playboy, a lower-body animal who can't move when he sees a beautiful woman.

Of course, Su Jiu was completely unaware of these thoughts in Katy Perry's mind, because at the moment Su Jiu's thoughts were not on this at all.

At the very least, before he can truly gain a firm foothold in the NBA, Su Jiu would not dare to spend too much time off the court and live a life of luxury and luxury.

After all, even a player like Harden can instantly become a soft-legged shrimp after meeting Kardashian, which somewhat made Su Jiu feel a little palpitation.

Before the opening, the two sides also took the lead in announcing their starting lineups for the game:

Magic:

Su Jiu, Pietrus, Courtney Lee, Turkoglu, and Howard.

Cavaliers:

Mo Williams, Delonte West, James, Ben Wallace, and Big Z Ilgauskas.

In this game, Van Gundy also put Courtney Lee in the starting lineup, which will also be Courtney Lee's second start this season.

What I have to say is that for the second start, he will defend a character like LeBron James. I am afraid that for Xiao Li, this will definitely be an unforgettable game...

And putting Courtney Lee in the starting lineup is really a helpless move by Van Gundy, because Lewis' absence due to injury still has a huge impact on the Magic.

What's more, in this game, the Cavaliers are currently sitting at the small forward position of LeBron James, who is currently the league's scoring leader.

So the effect of mentioning Courtney Lee as the starter will definitely be much better than Redick's useless dog.

And Pietrus and Courtney Lee's striker combination is also able to make the Magic's defensive efficiency reach an optimal state.

But at the same time, the price paid by the team is equally obvious, that is, the options on the offensive end will be greatly reduced.

Because whether it is Pietrus or Courtney Lee, in addition to their excellent defensive capabilities, these two people have a fatal flaw on the offensive end.

That is, he is not good at attacking with the ball, and can only act as an off-ball shooter to score at most.

Then this situation also led to Su Jiu and Howard having to make more shots and shoulder the heavy responsibility of the team on the offensive end.

After all, apart from the two of them, Turkish magician Turkoglu is not a player known for his offensive ability.

So for Su Jiu in this game, it really became difficult not to attack...

And this incident should be something worth celebrating for Su Jiu, because there are not many games with unlimited shooting rights like this.

But at this moment, only he knows the situation that Su Jiu needs to face. It's not a question of not being able to make a move, it's a question of whether the system is reliable or not! !
