Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 182 What a terrible word!
Life Bankers Arena.

In the second quarter, Thomas looked at the Magic's rotation and was very speechless.

Duncan, Maddie.

Mark Jackson, Mike Miller and Magloire.

Two top-43 scorers, a lead passer in assists, a [-]% shooter, and a potential catcher.

Is this a starter-level configuration, or a starter for a strong team?

Now the Pacers are still 11 points behind, and they can't let him.

I looked at my bench and felt very headache.

On the bench, there are not many players who can play, 180CM Travis Bate.

'98 rookie Al Harrington.

No way, the rest can only be the main force.

Jalen Rose, Jeff Foster and Austin Crozer, continued to play.

The ball belongs to the Pacers.

Jaylen Rose doesn't have a point guard, otherwise what would Speight do?
180 defense is a little bit worse, but the offense is very strong.Sharply broke through Mark Jackson's defense, attracted the defense, and passed the ball.

Harrington catches a jumper...

Swish-!
Two point hit.

The difference is only 11 points.

Al Harrington, as a evacuation insider, can survive in the league with his precise mid-range shot.

This season, he averaged only 8 points and 3 rebounds per game.

It looks average, but he played as a substitute, averaging only 21 minutes per game.

As long as he is given time, he is fully capable of scoring more than 15 points.

Moreover, this person has the characteristic of convulsions, and when the state comes, no one can stop it.

Mark Jackson hit the ground, and the basketball fell comfortably into the air to cut into McGrady's hands inside.

Catch the ball, pull it up, and give it a lob in the air.

Swish-!
As expected of a point guard at the assist king level, his passing is precise.

McGrady had almost an empty basket and scored two points.

The point difference returned to 11 points.

Jalen Rose and Best hit a screen.

Facing Mark Jackson in a misplaced position, Jaylen Rose made a sudden step, and immediately made a two-point jumper in front of this former teammate...

Swish-!
Finally, finally, there is such a misplacement opportunity.

Jaylen Rose put pressure on the management, and if he doesn't play point guard for him, he won't renew his contract with the team.

Therefore, Mark Jackson, the hero of last season, as a good friend of Reggie Miller, was still given up by the Pacers.

This round, Jaylen Rose seems to prove it with his actions.

Mark Jackson really can't.

At least not his defense.

Offensively, I saw Mark Jackson downplaying it, playing for Duncan for an easy layup.

Look at Mark Jackson, hand in hand, passing the ball to Mike Miller while blocking his pursuit.

The result was that Mike Miller, in front of the 180 Best, made a steady three-pointer.

In the end, he can also use his butt to arch Best step by step, arch to the shooting sweet spot, turn around and make a fallback jumper.

Jaylen Rose was a little restless.

Outside the stadium, the fans booed everywhere.

The gap is too great.

Except for the Lakers last season, they won everything. As a result, after Mark Jackson's old players left, they couldn't win anyone they saw.

Except for two backcourts with good statistics, none of them can play.

In the score, with Mark Jackson's extraordinary performance, the point difference between the two sides quickly widened to 20 points.

Halfway through the second quarter.

Li Mu replaced Duncan and Tracy McGrady with O'Neal and Maggette.

On the lineup, they were crushed again.

Pacers coach Thomas quickly replaced Reggie Miller.

With Reggie Miller scoring 5 points in a row, this stabilized the situation on the court.

However, the gap cannot be narrowed.

At the end of the first half, the Magic took a 21-point lead and entered the locker room to rest.

Came back in the second half of the game.

Li Mu let Mark Jackson, McGrady, Jackson, Duncan and O'Neal play.

The Pacers are the starting five.

The game started in the third quarter, and the Magic took the lead in making a three-pointer.

The man who shot was Mark Jackson.

This person has a strong organization but average offensive ability.

However, he has a clear view of the situation on the field.

The Pacers and Magic are not at the same level.

Moreover, the Magic has an absolute advantage inside.

Then make the game easier.

So, he chose to shoot.

Hit or miss, he doesn't care.

The question is that the rebound is in hand, and I have it in the world.

However, Mark Jackson's three-pointer also hit.

Next, the game becomes very monotonous, that is, catch the ball, shoot, score.

Or, grab a rebound and score a shot.

After the third quarter, the Magic has widened the point difference to 29 points.

The main force of the Magic team has officially clocked out of get off work, except for McGrady who is struggling to win the scoring champion.

Li Mu played Mark Jackson, Maggette, Magloire and Mike Miller in the rotation.

In the fourth quarter, it was just a cutscene.

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

With a score of 135 to 98, the Magic beat the Pacers by 37 points, extending their winning streak to 4 games.

McGrady's efforts have paid off, scoring 40 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds, one step closer to the scoring champion.

Seven of the other players scored in double figures, played a lot more, and showed the performance of all the soldiers.

Jalen Rose scored 31 points.

Reggie Miller scored 25 points.

The performance of the others was too poor, it's not a pity to lose.

……

Next, when Li Mu thought that he could easily win the Knicks.

Van Gundy taught Li Mu a lesson.

Defensively, Van Gundy saw that the Magic's point guard was not good enough, so he increased the defensive strength of the outside line and cut off the continuity of the Magic's inside and outside lines.

The Magic's offensive efficiency has declined.

At the same time, grinding the lineup with the Magic has been playing the rhythm that the Knicks like.

The game is completely in the hands of the Knicks.

Plus, Camby is back.

Moreover, the performance is not inferior to Duncan at all, at least the offensive data is like this.

He scored 23 points and 11 rebounds.

Not to mention, the Knicks' golden double guns also exerted their strength.

Houston scored 22 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds.

Madman Sprewell scored 24 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists.

The score was 109 to 103, and the Magic lost by 6 points.

All the advantages of the Knicks have been brought into play.

And the Magic over there.

Although Duncan has been performing steadily.

However, McGrady scored 18 points and Hill scored 12 points. The performance of the two was too stretched, and the winning streak was terminated again.

On January 1, after the Magic lost the game, they vented their anger on the Eagles.

McGrady survived the three-pointer. He made 8 of 5 three-pointers, and the efficiency of the two-pointer was also very high. He scored 41 points, 4 assists and 4 rebounds.

Duncan had 25 points and 13 rebounds.

Hill had 15 points and 3 assists.

With a score of 137 to 95, the Magic beat the Hawks by 42 points.

On March 1, TD Waterhouse Center Arena.

The Magic are about to face a door-to-door challenge from the Spurs.

Originally, this was just a bland game.

However, because of the relationship between Duncan and the Spurs.

The game has become unusual.

In other words, the situation of the Spurs at this time is very bad.

Duncan leaves.

David Robinson is 35 years old.

Jr. Johnson is 35 years old and sidelined due to injury.

Sean Elliott is 32 years old and has undergone kidney surgery. He is also absent, playing one game and one game.

Antonio Daniels, the fourth pick in 97, was a parallel importer.

Cole is 34 years old.

Danny Ferry is 34 years old.

Terry Porter is 37 years old.

Samaki Walker, a parallel importer in 96.

Ira Nubell was picked to make up the numbers.

Ginobili was intercepted.

Bowen hasn't dug yet
Parker wasn't drafted either.

The record is 11 wins and 22 losses! !

see this.

Duncan went directly to Li Mu and applied... not to fight.

Li Mu agreed, feeling that the current Spurs team is so miserable!
It's no wonder that in Li Mu's previous life, Bo and Povich's coaching abilities were recognized.

The cards in his hand, except for Duncan, are really not good.
