Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 188 Li Mu was taught a lesson!
In February, the team's strength rankings were officially announced, and the Magic continued to lead the way.

Currently 40 wins and 4 losses, theoretically got the playoff tickets.

The Lakers, ranked second.

In order to polish the triangle offensive tactics, Jackson is constantly testing the lineup, plus O'Neal and Kobe, both have minor injuries and illnesses, and the Lakers have lost 6 games.

The strength of the Western Conference team is too strong after all.

No.3 is the Kings, No.4 is the Trail Blazers.

No.5 is the 76ers in the East.

In the East, the Magic have the only block, and there is no one who can play.

On February 2nd, the first game of the February schedule, against the 2ers.

Vakovia Center Arena.

Li Mu took a look at the starting lineup of the 76ers and felt that the game was stable.

Iverson, Aaron McGee, George Lynch, Tyron Hill, Theo Ratliff.

Snow missed due to injury.

Tony Cooke didn't hit.

Moreover, the news media are wildly rumored that the 76ers and the Hawks have reached a Mutombo deal, which is short of bargaining chips and has not yet been negotiated.

The 76ers team is unstable, the lineup is uneven, and the strength is not as good as the Magic.

How can this beat the Magic?

Li Mu stabilized, and McGrady, Jackson, Hill, Duncan and O'Neal were still in the starting lineup.

The first quarter of the game started.

The Magic also took the lead as expected, and the outside line opened up the situation.

McGrady misplaced and pulled on Iverson's head, all of which were misplaced attacks.

Jackson can also single out Aaron McGee, which is completely bullying the opponent's defensive strength.

To be reasonable, the current backcourt of the 76ers is a rumored double leak in the backcourt.

Iverson's defense is negative, let alone mention it.

Aaron McGee's physical talent is not good, his offense is strong and his defense is weak, and he needs the ball to play.

Stackhouse, who was the No. 95 player in [-], couldn't match Iverson.

It's even worse to replace Aaron McGee, who has a similar style to Stackhouse but is far behind in strength.

In the first quarter, the Magic's outside line had the upper hand.

At the same time, the Magic's internal strength gradually began to emerge. Duncan faced Ratliff, a senior blue-collar, and dominated both offense and defense.

Jermaine O'Neal's strength is still a bit weak, but his talent is there, and he can't compete with Teyron.

The wind direction of the game fell on the side of the Magic.

After the first quarter, the score was 28 to 21, and the Magic took a 7-point lead.

In the second quarter, Li Mu let Duncan and McGrady continue to play, and replaced Armstrong, Maggette and Magloire.

Just when Li Mu thought that the advantage of the rotation lineup could easily clean up the 76ers.

Iverson suddenly exploded.

Breakthrough, the inside line against Duncan's block, scored 2+1.

Three-pointer, a false sudden shot, using his worst offensive method to score.

Break through and rush towards the defender.

The referee's whistle sounded.

Break through, pass the entire defense of the Magic, assist teammates to dunk at the basket, and score two points.

Iverson shot from inside and outside, singled out the Magic, and even chased the point difference back.

At this moment, McGrady was in a hurry.

Start all kinds of mindless attacks.

The way of attack becomes simple.

Don't ask, asking is dry pulling, breaking through dry pulling.

But the mentality was broken by Iverson, the shooting feel was not good, and the iron show started.

In the confrontation, McGrady was at a disadvantage.

The advantage of the rotation lineup that Li Mu imagined was not brought into play.

Because, instead, the advantage is on the side of the 76ers, and Larry Brown is the main force.

The starting lineup, with little rest.

艾弗森打完了上半场，轰下了23分5助攻3篮板2抢断，带领76人队以56比58的比分，仅仅落后了2分，进入更衣室休息。

McGrady only scored 15 points, 2 assists and 2 rebounds.

In the head-to-head confrontation of the scoring champion, McGrady may lose.

Second half of the game.

Li Mu replaced Jackson with Armstrong, trying to copy Jackson's homework.

Fast to fast, with 183 Armstrong in front of Iverson for defensive interference.

As long as it is not passed, the defense is successful.

The game came back and Armstrong was also passed.

With frozen ankles, Iverson passed Armstrong's defense like a morning street.

Going inside, facing the dense defense, the body drifted and shot.

Swish-!
The same attack was completed.

183 against 183 is simply a joke.

Iverson's personal offensive efficiency is no problem.

Under the leadership of Iverson, the 76ers played bloody. Suddenly, the offense of the whole team seemed to be alive.

Theo Ratliff used the mid-range shot to score points over Duncan's head.

That's Duncan.

However, Ratliff isn't afraid.

Teyron Hill also dribbled the ball for a layup, carried O'Neal's body, and scored the basketball strongly.

The most exaggerated thing is that Aaron McGee did not become a weakness in defense. Instead, he suddenly convulsed in the offense and continued Iverson's offensive firepower.

At this time, when the Magic needed someone to stand up, McGrady began to sleepwalk.

Li Mu had a headache.

He knew that McGrady was extremely talented, but he lacked ambition and would become invisible from time to time.

Duncan has been solid, but that's when it matters.

The usual state is also ups and downs.

His offensive methods are just a few tricks, if he doesn't go well, the only one who greets him is the iron show.

After the first three quarters, the leading team was actually the 76ers, with a 4-point advantage.

35 wins and 11 losses! !

It is not a fluke that the 76ers can win such a record.

The 76ers are still very strong.

In other words, the Magic play star basketball, and now Duncan and McGrady are not online.

Li Mu had no choice.

We can only let them continue to play and adjust their status on the field.

Turns out, this hasn't adjusted.

Iverson exploded again.

Breakthroughs, shots, and steals are simply a combination of offense and defense.

When McGrady and Duncan recovered, Larry Brown began to strengthen the confrontation, taking advantage of the lead, and slowly grinding the ground with the Magic.

McGrady and Duncan, it is difficult to catch the basketball, even if they do, there will be various pincers.

After the ball was scored, the teammates were infected by iron strikes, and the offense was another wave of iron strikes.

Hill gave up without the ball and began to drive the ball to the inside.

Just in time, falling into the 76ers' defensive pocket, the offensive efficiency cannot be improved.

The Magic's offense can't start the situation.

Iverson used his body frequently to tear through the Magic's defense, either scoring from the basket or blowing the whistle to the free throw line.

The leading advantage has been maintained.

hum~
With the buzzer sounding, the score was frozen.

102 to 107! !
The 76ers defeated the Magic by 5 points and gave the Magic their fifth defeat of the season.

Duncan scored 24 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists. Looking at the data, it must be very stable and not very efficient.

Tracy McGrady scored 35 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds. The statistics are very beautiful, but they are in exchange for high shots and more playing time.

Hill had 11 points and 4 assists, and Jermaine O'Neal had 12 points and 6 rebounds.

To be reasonable, the star of the Magic team, just looking at the data, did not perform badly.

It's a pity that Iverson is too strong. He scored 45 points, 8 assists, 7 rebounds, 3 blocks and 3 steals. He performed superbly.

A lesson to Li Mu, basketball games are not about counting.

The strength of the lineup is just a card. If you haven't played, no one knows what the result will be.
