Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 186 Strength is not a dimension!
TD Waterhouse Center.

On the court, Jackson handed the basketball to Hill in the frontcourt.

Hill flicked the ball and Peterson took off.

Rookies have this disease.

As the 2000st pick in the new season in 21, he has not yet grown into the future defensive leader.

Consciousness and technology have been crushed, and you can only fight your body.

Hill feinted and immediately dribbled the ball inside. Oakley made a move and the basketball flew over his head.

Bang-dang-!
Duncan made an alley-oop and scored two points.

6 to 10! !
The Raptors suffer from the height of the inside line, and the outside line is breached, and the defense line will only focus on one thing and lose another.

Next, the Raptors attack.

Alvin Williams was cornered by Jackson and passed the ball to Carter.

McGrady ignored the three-pointer.

Starting, accelerating, breaking through, Carter finally chose to hit inside.

Hill rushed to help defend, and Duncan also rushed out.

Plus McGrady, like a pocket, encircled and suppressed Carter.

"The Big Three of the Magic team besieged Carter, which is simply bullying.

Carter forced the basket, failed to draw a foul, and made a hasty shot...

Bang Dang...! "

Two points strike iron.

O'Neal took off the rebound.

Take a step, pass the ball to Jackson, push back and fast break.

After halftime, Jackson passed the ball to McGrady, who sent it to the side.

Hill, who was following up, caught the ball and shot a three-point jumper...

Peterson rushed back to the three-point line and protected the basket.

Carter wants to stare at McGrady.

Hill's side was completely empty.

Swish-!
6 to 13! !
"The advantage of the Magic team's lineup has begun to exert its strength slowly.

The Raptors couldn't keep it. said Mike Breen.

The Magic scored 5 points in a row.

Carter was also targeted for defense.

At this time, the Raptors used to have only one outside attack group, Carter can play.

No way, you can only play inside.

Alvin Williams lobs to Davis on the right.

Duncan is a superstar, so he can only bully O'Neal.

Davis is a blue-collar player who catches the ball, activates it, and forces his way to the basket.

Bang-dang-!
O'Neal was underprepared and was forced by Davis.

8 to 13! !
Antonio Davis is at the final peak, playing with confidence, naturally unstoppable.

There is something about this person's strength.

The Magic's offense missed a three-pointer.

The Raptors took off the rebound and played inside again.

Davis continued to forcefully eat, and as a result, Duncan, who was rushed over, was slapped away.

Subsequently, O'Neal adapted to Davis' offensive rhythm, with the help of Duncan's defense.

The Raptors' inside offense was also restricted.

At this time, Peterson of the Raptors is just a rookie, and Alvin Williams has limited talent and cannot break the game.

Can only let Carter dribble the ball and kill.

Not to mention, Carter hasn't experienced injuries yet, and McGrady can't stop him at all offensively.

Hill and Duncan's help defense.

Carter made unreasonable shots, and occasionally succeeded in attacking.

Of course, efficiency is not guaranteed.

"The Magic's defense is just bullying Carter's passing ability, which is not top-notch.

Now inside and outside, offense is restricted.

Defensively, he was unstoppable, and the suspense of the game was gone. ’ said groom Albert.

After the first quarter, the score was 34 to 24. Carter scored 13 points in a single quarter, and the Raptors were still behind by double digits.

In the second quarter, Li Mu let McCann and O'Neal continue to play and replaced Armstrong, Maggette and Magloire.

Lenny Wilkens, the Raptors' new coach has some headaches.

The Raptors are not even willing to spend money to renew their core players. Naturally, there will be no good stuff on the bench.

Dell Curry played, but he was almost 36 years old.

Keon Clark, the 98th pick in 13, averaged 11 points and 8 rebounds per game.

In addition to the newly joined Tracy Murray, who averaged 5 points and 3 rebounds per game, the Raptors implemented an 8-man rotation, and Carter and Davis continued to play.

The second quarter started.

Carter played point guard and dribbled upfield.

What McGrady can do, he can do too.

Davis pulled out and played a pick-and-roll with Carter.

After getting rid of McGrady's defense, Carter rushed inside, pulled the ball up, ignored O'Neal's block in the air, and with a bang, he directly split the dunk and scored two points.

26 to 34! !
With Duncan off the field, the Magic's ability to protect the rim will inevitably decline.

The offensive and defensive transition, Armstrong changed direction, accelerated, and passed Curry as if crossing the street in the early morning.

A small throw, swish, two points hit.

26 to 36! !
"Curry wasn't good defensively when he was younger.

Now that I'm old, I can't help it anymore. ’ explained Mike Breen.

Of course, everyone can see that Curry is on the court to open up the offensive space.

Carter broke through, stopped suddenly, pulled out, and shot——!
McGrady fights and retreats, and wants to defend with his teammates to deal with Carter.

However, Carter's pace has become faster and his range is longer. With two points, Carter can't deploy other lines of defense at all.

Swish-!
28 to 36! !
The Raptors' rotation, under the leadership of Carter and Davis, can play with the Magic.

However, with Carter taking a break, and the Magic, Duncan, Hill, and Jackson coming on, the wind of the game quickly turned to the Magic.

"The strength of the two teams is not in the same dimension at all.

The Raptors have struggled to reach the playoffs, and they need a little luck.

Obviously, the Magic can't beat the championship-level Magic. "

After the second quarter, the ratio was 66 to 49. With a 17-point advantage, the Magic entered the locker room to rest.

Second half of the game.

Li Mu continued to start the battle.

The Raptors also started the Five Tigers to deal with it.

Carter at his peak is unstoppable, but unfortunately, he can't fly in the face of Tracy McGrady, Hill and Duncan.

Breaking in, falling into the pocket arranged by the Magic, playing outside, the weakness of the three-pointer is magnified again.

The Raptors are now Carter's one-man team, and the core of the team is suppressed.

The situation on the field was instantly one-sided.

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

After the first three quarters, the lead became 31 points.

In the fourth quarter, Li Mu only let McGrady, the main starter, play.

Just in time to reconnect with former Raptors teammates.

Put on, Mark Jackson, Mike Miller, Maggette and Magloire.

One big and four small.

To be reasonable, the Magic have already released the water.

However, compared to the rotation lineup, the strength gap between the Raptors and the Magic is even greater.

The Raptors were beaten defenseless.

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

With a score of 134 to 93, the Magic beat the Raptors with 41 points.

麦迪轰39分6助攻4篮板，和卡特的35分8篮板7助攻，不分上下。

Duncan had 26 points and 13 rebounds, O'Neal had 18 points and 9 rebounds, Hill had 15 points, and Jackson had 12 points.

In this regard, the Raptors cannot compare.

Davis had 19 points and 10 rebounds, which looked good, but after the victory was decided, he continued to get it.

Of the others, only Oakley scored in double figures, and the fiasco was not unjust.
