The convulsion superstar of basketball

Chapter 345 344. Stop Messing, Katie! !My back is bad...

Over the next few days, the Magic played several preseason games separately.

For these preseason confrontations, as the head coach, Stan Van Gundy obviously doesn't take it very seriously, because everyone is old fritters, and the meaning of the preseason is just to give the league face.

In the next few preseason matchups, the performance of the Magic still did not disappoint the fans.

And it is worth mentioning that as long as the game is played at the home court of the Magic, even if it is just a preseason game that is not fiercely confrontational, the game is basically full.

After all, regardless of the status of the defending champion, this season's Magic team has three extremely popular players, Carter, Iverson and Howard.

In addition, in the Chinese market, Su Jiu, who can also be called one against one hundred, undoubtedly makes the Magic team the most popular team in the league in the new season.

And behind the four words most popular, there is no such thing as one of them at all.

With the running-in of the players in the preseason, head coach Stan Van Gundy discovered that the running-in of the players on the field is far faster than he imagined.

Although the "flying man" Carter's tactical position in the Magic is still in a struggling stage at this time, but at least there is no problem of being unable to get along with the Magic.

Because when he was in the Nets, Carter had unlimited shooting rights, but because his personal character was too selfless, Carter still would not make full shots when he had unlimited shooting rights.

Instead, he chose to be willing to trust his teammates and share the ball more equally with other players.

But at least at that time, the Nets' possession of the ball was all in his hands and he would distribute it.

However, after coming to the Magic, the Magic team won the championship last season. In addition, the team has many outstanding personal stars, which undoubtedly makes Carter's positioning somewhat blurred.

Although Carter had long accepted the fact that he was no longer at the top of his game, he suddenly became the second, third, or fourth leader of the team.

This somewhat made Carter a little unaccustomed to it. At the very least, this change in mentality still required a long period of time to eliminate it.

Compared with Vince Carter's personal problems, Sean Marion is well-adjusted with the entire Magic team.

Even Stan Van Gundy can't help but marvel in his heart every time he sees Marion playing on the court:

"This is simply born for the Magic, it really fits so well."

It can be said that Marion's personal playing state is completely integrated with the Magic at this time.

Because the Magic are willing to spend a lot of money to sign Marion during the offseason, it is because of his defensive ability on the front line.

So Marion's first task on the court is to lock the scoring points on the opponent's front line, and then do this on the defensive end, and then go to the offensive end to show his strengths.

That is defensive counterattack, and off-the-ball cuts in positional battles.

And these two points are also the regular style of play of the Magic team. After all, the Magic team's defensive counterattack can be described as very good.

At least when Su Jiu is on the field, Su Jiu likes to switch between offense and defense very much.

Therefore, Marion's personal position on the court at this time is that he will not have friction with other players at all, and there will be no disputes and dissatisfaction over the possession of the ball.

After all, his position is to defend and fast break. If you let Marion forcefully play with the ball, then you are not harming him...

February 10.

As the clock ticked, the Magic went by a big margin in their final preseason game:

109:88

They beat the Toronto Raptors by 21 points. In addition to completing all the preseason games this year, they also won a record of [-] wins and [-] losses throughout the preseason.

Although everyone will not fight with real swords and guns in the preseason, the Magic won all five games in the preseason, which undoubtedly made Orlando fans feel more confident in their hearts.

It is also a great increase in confidence in the Magic's journey to the championship in the new season.

In the last preseason game against the Toronto Raptors, this is also the first time Turgrew and his old club Magic have played against each other in the new season.

Again, even though this is just a preseason game and the two sides will not show their full strength, people with a discerning eye can still see it.

Turkoglu, who left Orlando for the Raptors, doesn't seem to be doing very well in the team.

That is, his playing style on the court is obviously very different from this Raptors team, and it can even be said to be out of place.

During the Magic period, the entire Magic team had excellent athletic ability and shooting ability from beyond the three-point line, but the biggest flaw of the Magic team was their lack of organizational skills.

Similarly, this is the reason why Su Jiu was able to get a chance to play last season, especially after Nelson was traded away.

Although Iverson's personal scoring ability has exploded, organization has never been his strong point.

This also led to the fact that Turkoglu is absolutely the same in the entire magic, except for Su Jiu in the later stage.

In addition, Turkoglu is a big white man with a height of [-] meters, and his movement speed is already very slow.

Therefore, his most suitable position on the court is the power forward position, but his weight is only 100 kg, and his personal defensive ability can be said to be lower than the league average.

This caused Turgrew to be a dubious existence when he failed to show his worth at the beginning.

He is too slow in the third position, and he is too weak in the fourth position, but when playing next to Howard, Turkoglu, who is in the power forward, can get the help of Warcraft to take care of him.

This undoubtedly made up for some of Tegru's lack of personal defensive ability.

Because after the offensive player passed Turkoglu's defense, he had to face the defensive gate from Warcraft Howard.

This situation completely conceals Turkoglu's lack of personal defensive ability, and it makes his defensive efficiency value above the league average.

In fact, this data has a lot of moisture, because a large part of the credit for this data should be attributed to Howard.

But after arriving at the Raptors, when Turkoglu was without Howard, his lack of defensive ability was completely exposed.

In addition, the Raptors' inside combination is composed of the unshakable Chris Bosh and Bargnani, so this also led to Turkoglu having to be placed in the third position that he didn't like.

Turkoglu, who is [-] meters tall, can obviously feel a little powerless at the small forward position.

His personal speed is really too slow, not to mention facing the league's top stars like LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony, even when facing some small forwards with excellent offensive ability, Turkoglu will feel that he can't keep up with the rhythm at all.

In the end, the Raptors' point guard is Calderon, a player who is very good at making plays.

Add DeRozan on the outside, Bagyani and Chris Bosh on the inside.

Such a starting combination undoubtedly greatly weakened Special Gru's presence on the court.

And when Turkoglu cannot contribute a satisfactory performance on the offensive end, then Turkoglu on the defensive end is a defensive loophole.

In a short period of time, the Raptors' management may not care about this, because they may classify this kind of thing as insufficient running-in.

But as time goes on, the differences between Turkoglu and the Raptors are sure to explode.

After all, after leaving Howard, Turkoglu's lack of defense is completely no one to make up for him.

Because the Raptors' two insiders, Chris Bosh and Bargnani, both defend at a level that is difficult to protect themselves.

Especially Bargnani, his defense is even worse than Gru.

In this case, Turkoglu has undoubtedly become a turret outside the three-point line. The whole person can only stand outside the three-point line on the court and wait for his teammates to pass the ball, and then complete the projection from outside the three-point line.

In the case where the role of the offensive end is very limited, the defensive end has also become a key target of the opponent.

You know, among the five starting players of the Raptors, the defensive ability of these five players can be said to be average.

Among them, there are three defensive loopholes. This is not difficult to see from the overall data of the Raptors' four preseason games.

Although the Raptors' scoring average was able to reach 102.3 points per game, the average conceding points per game was as high as 111.7 points, ranking first in the league among the 30 teams in the preseason! !

And leading the second-ranked Kings by a full 4 points.

So regarding the matter of Turkoglu joining the Raptors, at this moment the two sides are more like a process of mutual torture.

Turkoglu did not play what he should have at all, and the Raptors undoubtedly hurt their defense.

I have to say that if the Raptors introduce Turkoglu during the offseason, I hope he can help the Raptors return to the playoffs.

So from the few short preseason games at this moment, it is not difficult to see that if the Raptors want to return to the playoffs in the new season, then this difficulty can be said to be a bit huge.

Unless the team management makes some player reinforcements and trades in the middle of the season, it is basically difficult to rely on this lineup alone.

Even though this Raptors team is completely worthwhile from the paper lineup, but no matter how you analyze it, this Raptors is more like a typical case of fancy but not useful.

So in the last preseason game against the Raptors, the Magic can be said to have defeated their opponents without bloodshed.

In the process of the players hugging after the game, when Turkoglu saw Su Jiu and Howard in front of him, he obviously felt some emotion.

Because this scene seems a little too familiar to him, but after a short offseason, it is completely different now.

Finally, when Turkoglu saw Marion, who had just joined the Magic, with a satisfied smile on his face, Turkoglu felt a little sad.

After all, all of this should belong to him, but he chose to leave during the offseason in order to get a bigger contract.

It has to be said that fate is exactly like this. Although trees move to death, people move to live, but sometimes, this sentence is not inevitable..."

February 10.

As the Magic defeated the Raptors in the last preseason game, this also means that the NBA's preseason journey this year is completely drawing to a close.

Although there are still several teams in the league that haven't played all the preseason games, at least the Magic have already liberated ahead of schedule.

Just wait quietly for the first NBA regular season game on October 10.

On October 10 this year, in the opening game of the NBA regular season, the league arranged a total of five games.

Among them, as the defending champion of this season, and the whole plastic surgery looks bright, the Magic are naturally fortunate to be arranged a game on the day of the opening game.

As a good player to make a fuss, the league's opponent for the Magic on the day of the opening game is the Los Angeles Lakers.

That is, on October 10, the first game of the NBA regular season will start, and the Magic will go to Los Angeles to challenge the Los Angeles Lakers away.

However, although the schedule of the NBA regular season has been lined up, but before the start of this game, outside fans at this moment have a one-sided view of this game.

In a public poll on the Internet, the support rate for the Magic to beat the Lakers is already as high as 82%.

Conversely, the support for the Lakers to beat the Magic is only a poor 18%.

I have to say that the Magic last season couldn't even think about this, because the Los Angeles Lakers, as a traditional team in the league, have a very high fan stickiness.

Even when the Magic took a 2-0 lead in the finals last year, more than 40% of fans on the Internet believed that the Lakers could win four games in a row, thereby reversing the Magic and winning last season's championship trophy.

Although regarding these remarks, the Magic already slapped fans in the face with practical actions last season.

But this also reflects from the side how loyal and huge the Lakers fans are.

However, under such circumstances, all the public opinion from the outside world this season has completely turned around.

The "20-year Lakers fan" who had been supporting the Lakers before has changed suddenly at this moment and has become a "15-year Magic fan"! !

It has to be said that the NBA is always a league that speaks with strength, and no team here can always get the support of fans.

If there are, then such people are definitely very few. Compared with the mysterious and mysterious beliefs, most people still focus on the top teams in the league.

Especially when the Magic team this season is already a star-studded situation, who can compete with the Magic team in the new season has undoubtedly become a hot topic of discussion on the Internet.

In addition, there are still six days before the start of the NBA regular season, so during this period, the players of the Magic can get a period of sufficient rest.

As for whether training will be arranged during this period, there is absolutely no doubt about it, but one thing is certain is that in this short period of time, the Magic will definitely not arrange too high-intensity training.

Because the Magic have practiced enough in this offseason, and in just a few days, Stan Van Gundy also doesn't think the team can produce any qualitative transformation.

So if there are no accidents, the team is likely to arrive in Los Angeles two days in advance.

Then during that time, let the players take a good rest in the hotel so that they can recuperate to the peak of their personal state on the day of the opening game, so as to get a good start for the new season.

It is worth mentioning that when the NBA officially announced the schedule for the opening game of the new season, the famous American singing actress Katy Perry released her personal news immediately.

Said that he will definitely go to Los Angeles to intercept Hu Sujiu two days in advance to cheer for his personal performance in the new season.

At the same time when a lot of melon-eating people were gossiping on the Internet, Su Jiu's face turned pale when he learned about this incident.

Supporting the wall next to him with one hand, and covering his lower back with the other hand, he swallowed hard and said:

"Don't!! My waist is bad..."
