Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 149 00-01 new season opener!

The effect of the match was not good, and Li Mu couldn't play what Li Mu wanted, so there were many problems.

Fortunately, the Magic is a newly formed team, and Li Mu's requirements are not good.

Tactics have to be practiced.

After the next few days of training, the tactics are finally in order.

Of course, Li Mu also knows that this is just a fake, it has not been tested, so it doesn't count.

After 10 days of training camp, the preseason kicks off.

The Magic's first opponent is the Knicks.

In the 00/01 season, Ewing was sent away to the Sonics to compete for the championship?

Simply blind, can the Supersonics compete for the championship?
Everything is an excuse, the tradition of no Ewing and no Knicks is broken.

No way, it won't work if you don't give it away, Ewing is a scam right now.

Without him, the finals can be played, and with him, the Knicks lose.

It can only be said that this is life.

Sending Ewing away, the wealthy Knicks aimed at the Lakers to poach corners.

All-star Glen Rice was dug over.

At this time, the outside lineup of the Knicks gathered Houston, Madman Sprewell, Larry Johnson, and Rice, which can be described as quite scary.

However, the inside lineup is too bleak, Camby is too soft, and Thomas is too short.

None can beat.

The game started at the TD Waterhouse Center. From the first quarter, the Magic crushed the Knicks.

Duncan beat Camby.

O'Neal beat Thomas.

The inside line is not a dimension at all, there are no rebounds, no offense in the penalty area, and the Knicks only have to compete with the Magic for outside offense.

Then, McGrady and Hill, neither broke out.

Maggette and Vu St. Jackson broke out.

a breakthrough.

A wave of three-pointers.

The Knicks were so beaten that they could not look up at all.

武圣杰克逊轰下18分4助攻3篮板，马盖蒂拿下11分4篮板。

Adding Duncan and O'Neal, who played only 25 minutes and scored 32 points together, the Knicks couldn't stand the impact of the Magic's physical talent at all.

Of course, there are many problems.

For example, Hill has become a blacksmith and has been looking for an offensive rhythm, but he doesn't hold the ball to break through, and his offensive sense of threat is much worse.

Madigan pulled out his hand, but it was very elegant, but he was also unsure.

After all, the Knicks' perimeter and defensive strength are not bad.

With a score of 105 to 87, the Magic won their first preseason victory.

……

In the second preseason game, the Magic played against the Kings.

How does Li Mu want to weigh the Magic's defense?

Then, it turns out not to be.

The Magic were overwhelmed and completely powerless.

After three years of running-in, the Kings' skills and tactics have reached their peak.

Moreover, this season is perfect for reinforcement.

The first is the signing of Doug Christie, who is both offensive and defensive, very versatile, and very suitable for Princeton tactics.

The second is to sign Bobby Jackson.

A strong contender for a future 6th man.

In addition, in the draft, he had a good vision and selected Hido Turkoglu.

And, Stojakovic's increase.

The Kings started with 5 Tigers, only missing Jason Williams.

In the rotation lineup, the main players who will play the bench bandits in the future are gathered.

This Kings team already has the level of a championship. Coupled with the magic of Princeton's tactics, the Magic were beaten to nowhere.

If you compete with the Kings in terms of physical talent and have a chance to fight against the Kings, playing tactics in front of the Kings now is simply courting death.

The score was 118 to 93, and the Magic lost by 25 points.

Losing was no surprise, Li Mu couldn't accept it, Hill was still looking for a rhythm, he got lost.

McGrady was in good shape and made a few three-pointers.

It's just that rookies are too unreliable.

Mike Miller hit the iron frequently, and Maggette was guarded by Christie without any temper.

Inside Duncan is as stable as a mountain, but Jermaine O'Neal's state has problems.

The only good news is that next, the Magic's opponents are not very strong.

Relying on the crushing of the strength of the lineup, the Magic team played a wave of 5 consecutive victories in the subsequent preseason.

In the end, with a record of 6 wins and 1 loss, the preseason game ended.

Officially announced the team's strength rankings, No. 1 is no suspense, it is the Lakers, also 6 wins and 1 loss in the preseason.

Although Rice was poached, the performances of Lewis and Ginobili were amazing.

No.2 is the Magic. Although they lost to the Kings, the lineup is there.

No.3 is the Trail Blazers. Just looking at the salary of 8700 million, you can know how strong their lineup is.

No.4 is the Kings. With the blessing of Princeton tactics, they have a good lineup, gorgeous offense and high popularity. Naturally, they are very optimistic.

The Heat, the 76ers, the Pacers, and the Sonics are ranked 5, 6, 7, and 8.

At this time, the structure of the alliance has become a battle for hegemony between the lake demons.

……

On October 2000, 10, TD Waterhouse Center Arena.

The 00/01 season opened with the Magic and the 76ers.

Inside the arena, it was a sea of ​​people.

Amidst the cheers and applause, McGrady was the first to come out with dead fish eyes.

……

……

As Hill and Duncan came out one after another, the entire arena set off a climax, like an earthquake scene.

After a simple warm-up, the starting lineups of both sides were also listed on the big screen in the arena.

The Magic started with 5 players, including Li Mu, point guard Darrell Armstrong, shooting guard McGrady, small forward Hill, power forward Duncan, and center O'Neal.

The 76ers started with five tigers, point guard Snow, shooting guard Iverson, small forward George Lynch, power forward Tyron Hill, and center Theo Ratliff.

This game is the focus of the eastern theater. It is full of highlights. It will be broadcast live by TNT radio station. Flying pig Barkley, as the commentator's first blood, gave this match.

His partner is Kenny Smith.

"I bet the 76ers will win this game?

Kenny, how about we do a game? "Barkley was not nervous at all in his debut, and he just wanted to make a bet with Kenny Smith.

"I know it's from the 76ers, but the Magic's Big Three lineup is out there.

If you want to bet, I agree, I bet on the Magic to win.

Just bet on tonight's supper? "Kenny Smith said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll eat you first tonight!" Buckley laughed.

"..."

beep~
With the sound of the whistle, the basketball was thrown high into the sky.Duncan and Ratliff looked up, and they jumped almost simultaneously.

Don't look at Duncan's ugly appearance, just like an old man, in fact, his physical talent is very explosive, and it is also at the level of a beast.

Snapped--!
Duncan beat Ratliff for the Magic's first down.

Armstrong took the ball to the frontcourt, and Li Mu immediately frowned at the next offensive choice.

I saw that he stepped down to dribble, started, accelerated, and broke through to the inside.

This person, with the same height as Iverson, has an experience.

In other words, Armstrong also played rugby, but he chose basketball in his freshman year.

Both body and speed are amazing.

Iverson couldn't stop it, and was hit by Armstrong.

Swish-!
Drove into the basket, hit the board with two points, and made the first victory.

0 to 2! !
