Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 159 Also number one in the league!

The second quarter started.

The Sonics have the ball.

Face Armstrong.

Payton hit back, arching Armstrong step by step, arching to the sweet spot of the shot.

After being flanked, he still rolled over and shot a jump shot——!
Armstrong at 183 is completely a display. It is said to be a flank attack, but it is also a one-on-one match.

Swish-!
30 to 29! !
Payton's personal score reached 15 points.

Coming back, Armstrong drove past Shamond Williams for a layup to drive the ball into the rim.

Defensively, he gave it away.

However, offensively, he is a sharp sword.

183 is a double-edged sword, which can bring harm to the Magic and also harm the opponent.

In other words, Shamond Williams is also 183, defensively, it is also sent.

The Sonics attack.

McGrady automatically defends Payton.

Payton patiently looked for opportunities, and took advantage of the cover opportunity to pass the ball to Paxson.

Catch the ball, drive past Miller, pull up the two-point jump shot...

The offense is that wild.

Otherwise, in Li Mu's previous life, he didn't have a rookie season, so he wanted to step on Kobe to get ahead.

Miller couldn't resist, and couldn't bear the impact of Paxson.

Fortunately, with a bang, Paxson missed the shot.

The Magic rushed to counterattack, and the Sonics returned to defense quickly.

In the positional battle, the basketball was handed over to Duncan, he lifted the ball, hit the board, and hit a two-pointer.

Wen Baker wanted to prevent Duncan's breakthrough, but he didn't expect that Duncan should study psychology.

He saw through Wen Baker's mind at a glance, and raised his hand to hit the board with a jumper.

Steadily hit two points.

"Ven Baker reads too little.

Completely seen through by Duncan.

Now the only one who can compete with Duncan is Payton.

It's just that Payton has only one person, and there are not many teammates he can rely on.

Duncan's teammate, looks more reliable. said Kenny Smith.

On the court, Payton also knew that he could not beat the Big Three Magic team in front of him just by playing alone.

He wants to assist his teammates and make a fuss about assists.

However, the Sonics can't penetrate the inside of the Magic, and his assists can only be shot from the outside.

As the game progressed, the Sonics' offensive efficiency began to decline.

The farther away from the basket, the lower the shooting rate. This is an undeniable truth in the league.

Six minutes into the second quarter, the Magic widened the point difference to 6 points.

small differences.

However, with O'Neal and Hill, as well as Jackson playing.

The Magic's advantage on the bench began to show off.

On the inside, Geranie McCoy is just a blue-collar player, Wen Baker has a bad attitude and has ruined his body, Ewing is too old, only has an attitude, but has no physical condition, which is also very disadvantaged.

Duncan, O'Neal, and Magloire played in turns and gradually opened up the score.

Payton [-]-on-[-], which is too difficult, he can't do it at all.

After the first half of the game, the Magic took a 9-point advantage and entered the locker room to rest.

Came back in the second half of the game.

Li Mu replaced Mark Jackson on the field, and at the same time, replaced John Ameche on the inside.

Meanwhile, on to Duncan, McGrady and Hill.

On the Supersonic side, McMillan only had 5 starters to deal with.

The third quarter started.

Mark Jackson dribbled the ball upfield, however, to pass it to Amici.

This person is 2 meters tall and weighs 08KG.

In this way, there is the impact of the trumpet O'Neal, which is used to beat the 38-year-old Ewing.

This is not about Wude.

The fist is afraid of being young, and Ewing has the skills to completely stop Amici's violent impact.

Bang-dang-!
The whole body is hung on the basket.

Immediately afterwards, Mark Jackson passed to Duncan.

Wen Baker was defeated long ago.

After the first half, the smell of alcohol on his body became stronger.

If it weren't for the fear of the bad smell of alcohol, Duncan would probably have been reaching for the ball to play.

Duncan is a threat when he catches the ball.

The inside line of the Sonics is completely overwhelmed.

In the past, Wen Baker and Ewing were both All-Stars. They seemed to be able to compete with the Magic just by looking at their fame.

However, the Sonics underestimated Wen Baker's rottenness and overestimated Ewing's combat effectiveness.

The scene of the game began to enter a one-sided situation.

Payton played too hard in the first half.

Scoring, organization, defense, everything has to be done, and it is still the kind without rest.

Already 32 years old, he is in his peak state, and in terms of protracted battle, it will not last long.

The offensive scoring efficiency is low. As the scoring ability weakens, his organization and passing also become difficult.

The game was quickly overwhelmed by the Magic.

After the first three quarters, the Magic have widened the point difference to 20 points.

In the first three games of the new season, the Sonics achieved a record of 1 win and 2 losses, not without reason.

Regardless of running-in or state, the Sonics can't do it.

In addition, this Sonic team is missing one Lewis, so it is no wonder that the game collapsed quickly in the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Li Mu's starting lineup only included O'Neal. He needs to practice more.

Put on Armstrong, Wusheng Jackson, Michael Reid and Magloire.

This lineup is completely bullying people.

If the state of this lineup is at its peak, it will not lose to the current starting five of the Supersonics, Payton, Ewing, and Wen Baker are all at their peak.

Then, the Sonics were killed.

They are all substitute lineups, not at the same level at all.

hum~~
With the sound of the buzzer, the game time is over.

With a score of 126 to 91, the Magic beat the Sonics by 35 points.

Duncan had 22 points and 11 rebounds. He had this performance in the first three quarters. It can only be said that he was too stable and too strong.

McGrady has 21 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds.

Hill had 8 points and 3 assists, still no improvement.

On the contrary, O'Neal scored 18 points and 10 rebounds, hit a double-double, and his performance became better and better.

佩顿轰下35分9助攻6篮板2抢断封盖，出战42分钟，可以说打出所有能量。

Helpless, Ewing had 11 points and 8 rebounds, Wen Baker had 13 points and 6 rebounds.

You call this the Supersonic Big Three?

It doesn't make sense not to lose.

……

On November 11, the coordinates were still in the TD Waterhouse Center Arena.

The Magic back-to-back at home, to meet the Bulls' door-to-door challenge?
No.

This is not a challenge.

This is a crushing game of sending bulls to slaughter.

The Bulls' lineup told everyone, what is a youth army?
Point guard Khalid, Al, Amin, the second round in 2000, or the second round with a height of 1 meters, except for a longer name, strength?

It's just for counting.

Shooting guard Ron Mercer, the 97th overall pick in 6, was in his fourth year.

Small forward Artest, first round in 99.

Power forward Brandt, the No. 99 pick in [-].

Center Michael Ruffin, second round in 99.

Just looking at the lineups of the two sides, they are not at the same level at all.

With a score of 128 to 85, the Magic gave the Bulls a 43-point defeat. In the new season, the Bulls have won 5 consecutive losses, ranking first in the league.

The Magic have won 5 consecutive victories, also ranking first in the league.

I just don’t know who is the last one.
