Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 170 Could it be the Butterfly Effect?
Pause back.

Pierce continued to be unstoppable.

Facing McGrady, hit back, turn around, feint, step back and shoot a jumper...

McGrady's cover was sealed to the eye.

Swish-!
Also in.

Pierce tonight is quite clueless.

Walker, the head of the Celtics, did not let Pierce steal the show alone.

A three-point shot was made to make a shot, and after deceiving Jackson's defense, he went inside, made a small throw, and also scored the basketball.

In this game, the twin stars of the Celtics played their best offensively.

However, the wind direction of the game is still in favor of the Magic.

Not to mention that the Celtics are undefended, the key is that they can't defend.

After the third quarter, the Magic extended the score to 8 points.

The game still looks suspenseful.

In the fourth quarter, Pierce continued to explode, almost fighting McGrady, Duncan and O'Neal.

Reluctantly, the back line and the inside line were so blasted that they couldn't find the north.

The score gap is also drifting away.

hum~~
The scoreboard beeps and lights up red, indicating the end of the game time.

The score was 118 to 102, and the Magic beat the Celtics by 16 points.

He made 22 of 13 shots, 5 of 3 three-pointers, 17 of 12 free throws, 41 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals. There was no energy left in his body.

Walker made 22 of 9 shots, 6 of 3 three-pointers, 8 of 5 free throws, 27 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists.

Only Tony Batty scored 10 points among the others. His teammates stretched his hips so badly that he didn't feel wronged.

邓肯26分13篮板，麦迪25分6助攻3篮板，小奥尼尔19分9篮板。

Plus Hill's 11 points and 3 assists.

Perform routine operations and win without bloodshed.

……

On March 11, TD Waterhouse Center Arena.

Back-to-back at home, the Magic easily beat the Hawks by 128 points with a score of 94 to 34.

In this battle, Mutombo played, because the Eagles also played back-to-back. They only played 20 minutes and scored 9 points and 7 rebounds.

With the inside combination of Duncan and O'Neal, the defense is still unstoppable.

The Eagles are also unwilling to block.

2 wins and 11 losses! !

The Hawks are rebuilding badly.

The team only had data in their eyes, and Terry continued to perform well, scoring 21 points and 7 assists.

For the Magic, Hill had a truce, and Miller started the game. His shooting touch was very red, and he scored 23 points and 3 assists.

邓肯25分12篮板，麦迪27分5助攻，小奥尼尔14分8篮板。

It is more flowering, taking the opponent lightly.

……

On March 11, TD Waterhouse Center Arena.

The Magic continued to sit at home to meet the door-to-door challenge of the Bucks.

3 wins and 9 losses! !

Seeing the opponent's record, Li Mu was a little weird.

Is it the butterfly effect?
In Li Mu's world image, this three-gun Bucks team can be said to have reached its peak this season.

Ended with a record of 53 wins and 29 losses, ranked No. 2 in the East, and then reached the Eastern Conference finals, and reached the tiebreaker with the 76ers.

Iverson fought with injuries and scored 44 points in the tie-break before leading the 76ers to the finals with the Lakers.

In other words, in the 2000 draft, Reed was robbed by Li Mu, so why did he act so crotch.

To be reasonable, Reid only played 6 games in his rookie season, and then got injured. With the data of 2.2 points per game, it doesn't matter at all.

Isn't this scientific?
It is estimated that the head coach of the Bucks, George Karl, is also a little confused.

The Bucks, which should have achieved results, started the new season and the schedule is not bad, so why can't they win.

The state is extremely poor. At present, they have lost four games in a row.

With the current four-game winning streak and only one loss to the Magic team, it is the same day and one place.

During the season, basketball experts are also one-sidedly optimistic about the Magic.

In the evening, during the simple appearance and warm-up, the big screen in the arena also showed the starting lineups of the two teams tonight.

On the commentary stage, Mike Brin adjusted the roster and analyzed, "The Magic will start with five players, point guard Tracy McGrady, shooting guard Jackson, small forward Hill, power forward Duncan, and center O'Neal.

The lineup is still changing.

However, one thing is very obvious, that is, Li Mu does not like to use Armstrong, a short point guard who is very keen on playing point forward.

Push McGrady to the position of point guard one after another.

Of course, the effect is also obvious.

This tactic of the Magic shows great competitiveness. "

"The main reason is that the lineup cards are placed there,

It's hard to lose! "

Groom Albert commented, and then he also talked about the Bucks' starting lineup.

"Point guard Cassell, shooting guard Ray Allen, small forward Glenn Robinson.

Still led by the Trident.

Robinson was sidelined for two games due to injury. After his comeback, he was still assigned to the starting list.

The interior is a bit bleak, with power forward Teague Thomas and center Mark Pope.

If the Bucks want to win, the three outside stars must play their offense to the extreme.

After all, the inside gap between the two sides is too great. "

Jump ball.

Game start.

Duncan easily beat Thomas to get the first down for the Magic.

McGrady directly dribbled through the frontcourt.

Cassel moves slowly, and is not good at long defense and breakthrough.

With an extremely fast first step, McGrady easily entered the inside line. After being flanked, he pulled the ball up and threw the basketball to the basket.

Clang.

Duncan made an alley-oop and blasted the basketball into the hoop.

0 to 2! !
"At the beginning, Duncan and McGrady connected, which is very difficult to defend."

Next, the Bucks attacked.

Kassel slowly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt to observe the situation on the court.

The Magic are man-to-man defense, and the defensive formation is tightened to the inside. Is this trying to test the Bucks' shooting ability?

At this time, Ray Allen made an air cut, and with Thomas' cover, he threw away McGrady and ran out of the three-point line again.

Cassell hit the ground, snapped, and sent the ball out.

Ray Allen catches the ball, jumps up, shoots...

The whole shooting action, without any superfluous, is clean and neat, as standard as a textbook.

When McGrady bypassed the screen and jumped out, it was already too late.

Swish-!
Ray Allen made a three-pointer.

3 to 2! !
In other words, Ray Allen's three-pointers this season, his shooting percentage is as high as 44%, which is not much different from shooting two-pointers.

The state is very good, averaging 23 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists per game.

Open shots are no different from sending points.

The Magic attack.

McGrady continued to break through the frontcourt, bullying Cassel's speed.

The free throw line pulls the ball up, pulls up the two-point jump shot...

Swish-!
3 to 4! !
"That's why McGrady exploded.

His talent is so good.

The first step of a breakthrough is one of the best in the league.

The height of the shot is very high, and outside players can't cover it at all. "Mike Breen commented.

On the field.

Cassell was repeatedly attacked, and he was not in a hurry to find a place.

Instead, hand the basketball to Glenn Robinson and single out Hill.

Outside the three-point line, with a flick of the ball, Robinson dribbled the ball and took a step. Hill was next to him, and immediately turned around and hit him with his back.

Horns, shaking shoulders, turning around, shooting fadeaways...

Swish-!
5 to 4! !
In terms of talent, Robinson is no worse than McGrady.

As the No. 94 pick in [-], he was brilliant offensively.

This season, he averaged 23 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists per game.

According to legend, after he entered the league, he stopped working hard and could still hit 20+ easily.

No wonder he is the No. [-] pick. Hill and Kidd were once overwhelmed.
