Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 172 Understand, O'Neill's Not Working Hard!

The Bucks want to live.

You can only make a fuss about offense and rhythm.

Fighting for offense without rebounds means that you have less ammunition and can only fight for accuracy.

This is very difficult, especially the recent Bucks, in a bad state.

Glenn Robinson, nicknamed 'Big Dog', has just returned.

Duncan continued to dominate the offense and defense, and O'Neal was full of vitality.

Outside, everyone feels like they are shooting, and they dare to shoot.

At the end of the second quarter, the Magic had an 11-point advantage and entered the locker room to rest.

In the second half of the game, the starting lineup played.

On the Bucks side, the main force is also returning.

After the game, the Magic continued to attack the inside line, shrinking defensively, and waited for the Bucks' shooting percentage to decline.

Under the leadership of sharpshooter Ray Allen, the most underrated point guard in the 90s, and Robinson, who wasted talent but was full of offensive talent, the Bucks lasted until the 7th minute in the third quarter.

Finally, finally, began to strike the iron continuously.

Then, the Magic quickly ended the game.

Floating outside shooting is destined to not go far, especially the opponent's inside line is so strong that it is abnormal.

The point difference became 16 points! !

Do you still have a chance?

In the fourth quarter, George Karl asked the Bucks to answer with three points.

It's a pity that Ray Allen's three-pointer is accurate, but he doesn't have the explosive attribute.

Cassell's three-pointer has explosive properties, but the problem is that he doesn't have a convulsion tonight.

Robinson is capable of shooting three-pointers, but has no advantage.

The only answer was a scorer like Reid, who was also brought into the Magic by Li Mu.

The rhythm of the game is firmly in the hands of the Magic.

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

With a score of 127 to 105, the Magic beat the Bucks by 22 points.

Duncan had 29 points, 13 rebounds and 4 assists.

McGrady had 26 points, 5 assists and 2 rebounds.

Jermaine O'Neal had 20 points and 9 rebounds.

Hill had 12 points and 3 assists.

Inside, two players played All-Star performances.

On the outside, the Magic's offense also stretched their hips.

The Bucks scored 71 points with three guns, but they still couldn't win.

At this time, Li Mu finally understood why O'Neill was unwilling to train hard.

With the four major centers, the other three centers are getting old, and none of them can play inside.

Even if one or two teams can play, Kobe still has a false bottom on the outside.

Even if the car overturns occasionally, if they play seven games, the Lakers with him in charge will never lose.

……

On November 11, the coordinates were still the TD Water House Center.

The Magic easily defeated the Jazz's door-to-door challenge with a score of 121 to 98.

Li Mu still used the old method to support Stockton's physical fitness with all his strength.

Karmak scored another 33 points and 10 rebounds, such a super performance.

Unfortunately, there is no use for birds.

This is not the Energy Solutions Arena, the devil's one, but the Magic.

The lineup is aging, the style of play is restrained, and they are playing back-to-back away games.

The Magic won easily.

Even if Hill truces, the Jazz are not opponents.

At the end of the November schedule, the Magic had a record of 11 wins and 15 loss, ranking first in the league.

Ranked No. 2 is the Lakers, with 14 wins and 2 losses, and switched to offensive triangle tactics.

In addition, the western team is relatively strong, and it is not surprising that the magic team lost one game more than the relatively easy season.

……

On March 12, TD Waterhouse Center Arena.

The Magic's schedule remains easy.

Game [-] against the Nets.

In other words, this team was the big winner of the 2000 NBA draft. It won the No. [-] pick and also selected the impressive Kenyon Martin.

The card becomes, Marbury, Van Horn, Kiddles, Kendall Gill, Kenyon Martin...

To be reasonable, the Nets have a foundation for their rise, and the new season is very promising.

However, the record was slapped in the face.

6 wins and 10 losses!
The Nets are tenth in the Eastern Conference, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to hit the playoffs.

You ask if Marbury's cancerous attributes can't be taken away?

That's good.

Also, the Nets were out of luck.

Kidders, nicknamed 'Mosquito', was reimbursed for the season and could not play.

Kendall Gill is 33 years old, old, and a little impassable.

In addition, the Nets changed their head coach, coached by Byron Scott, and still need to adapt.

In the evening, during the simple appearance and warm-up, the starting lineups of the two sides for tonight's match were also displayed on the big screen in the arena.

The Magic started with five players, McGrady, Jackson, Hill, Duncan, and O'Neal.

The Nets started with the Five Tigers, Marbury, Lucios Harris, Kendall Gill, Van Horn, Kenyon Martin.

The game starts with a jump ball.

The 97 No. [-] and No. [-] competition.

Duncan VS Van Horn.

Without suspense, Duncan easily scored the first attack for the Magic.

McGrady dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, made a very quick first step, went inside, and made a two-point pull-up jump shot...

The shot was ecstasy, and Marbury couldn't prevent it.

Swish-!
0 to 2! !
McGrady played better and better.

Marbury's defense is still a problem.

However, on offense, Marbury is a sharp weapon.

Take the ball to the frontcourt, turn around, speed up, change direction, hit the inside line, pull the ball up, dodge O'Neal's block, and at the same time throw the body out, hook with the right hand.

Swish-!
Two points in return.

2 to 2! !
As far as the point guard is concerned, it is only better than offensive scoring. When Payton is old and Iverson changes to point guard, Nash has not yet returned to the Suns. To be fair, he is really the number one point guard in the world.

The sharp breakthrough is unstoppable.

Are you asking Kidd?
Have you heard of Ji Bugong?

What's the matter with Kidd than offensive scoring?

Offensive and defensive turn around, McGrady scored the ball.

Duncan received the ball, lifted it up, turned around and hit with his back, rolled into the basket, and hit the basketball with ease.

2 to 4! !
Duncan singled out no solution.

Plus Van Horn's defense is poor.

One face-to-face, the Nets' defense was torn apart.

Offensively, the Nets played strong.

It was Marbury's breakthrough, passing McGrady and hitting the basket.With a random point, with a bang, Kenyon Martin caught the ball and dunked with both hands. His whole body was hanging on the basket.

Marbury is alone and wants to pass the ball, but there is still no problem.

4 to 4! !
The Magic attack.

In the frontcourt, McGrady suddenly made a three-point jumper...

bang...

McGrady's three-pointer is still unreliable.

The rebound was taken by Duncan.

Bang-!
Van Horn was knocked away.

His body can't resist.

Defensive skills are also not good.

Duncan lifted the ball and waited for Van Horn to take off to block the shot. Then he carried his body, and with a bang, swish, he scored the basketball.

beep~
The referee's whistle sounded, Duncan's two-point goal was valid, and there was another chance for an additional penalty.

Swish-!
Standing at the free throw line, Duncan did not fail and made a free throw.

4 to 7! !
The Nets attack.

Marbury passed the ball and singled out Duncan for Van Horn.

Holding the ball basket, lifted it up and swayed it, and found that Duncan looked calm and unmoved.

Van Horn didn't have the skills to single out with his back.

After a steady wave, he passed the basketball back to Marbury.

The Magic's defensive formation has shrunk somewhat.

Regardless of Marbury, he took a cross step, started, accelerated, rushed into the inside, pulled the ball in front of Duncan, and after confronting Duncan, he forced a layup.

Snapped--!
Duncan was not afraid of confrontation, and his footsteps were fast, and he slapped the basketball out of the baseline like a volleyball.

At the beginning of the first quarter, Duncan dominated both offense and defense.

Li Mu felt that the game was stable.
