Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 249 Compete in every game, advance to the next round!
The pace of the game is fast, and both sides come and go.

The Hornets like to play fast, and the Magic aren't afraid to play fast.

The pace is fast, and the defensive formations of both sides have no way to gain a foothold. You can get offensive space, and the Magic also have offensive space to use their physical talents.

To put it bluntly, the Hornets just don't care about their heads.

On the field.

McGrady hit the basket with the ball, and scored two points with a gliding hack.

Beard David, as the second scorer, saw Kidd's defense shrinking a bit.

A dry three-point jumper hit.

Duncan leaned on Campbell, turned around and hooked, and with a swish, he easily entered the basket.

Relying on his strong body, Mashburn broke through Jackson's defense, made a layup and made a two-pointer.

At the beginning, no one can do anything to the opponent.

Li Mu's face was very calm.

Fight it out, the Magic aren't afraid of anyone.

Now let's see who's top lasts longer.

David Wesley made consecutive three-pointers, 2 of 1, and continued to score for the Hornets.

Duncan and O'Neal, using their inside and physical advantages, hit the basket, and they also succeeded frequently.

Soon, the strength gap between the two sides became visible to the naked eye.

The quality of the Magic's heads-up is much better than that of the Hornets.

Moreover, the Hornets' single defense is not as strong as the Magic.

Especially in rebounding, Duncan and O'Neal are obviously superior.

Plus McGrady and Kidd, a 2 meters 03, a 1 meters 93.

David Wellis is 1 meters, and Davis is only 80 meters.

While the basketball fell behind, the Magic usually played a defensive counterattack and fast break.

The Hornets simply couldn't stop it.

David Wesley is fast and fast, but the defense is useless.

If there is a counterattack, it will be a situation of more fights and fewer fights.

After the first quarter, the score was 35 to 29, and the Magic took a 6-point lead.

In the second quarter, Li Mu let Kidd, Duncan, McGrady and O'Neal continue to play.

Replaced with Reid who can shoot three-pointers.

When it comes to the playoffs, the hard power of the main force is what they are fighting for.

It is necessary to do the homework of the main force.

Paul Silas also only changed one person, replacing PJ Brown with Li Nilong.

As the second-round player in 99, Li Nailong is very strong, averaging 8 points and 5 rebounds per game, and the peak level is 14 points and 5 rebounds, which is a good combat power.

The second quarter started.

Davis broke through with the ball.

His physical talent is very strong, his speed is fast, his body is strong, his explosive power is very good, and he does not lose Kidd's talent at all.

In the three years since he entered the league, he has grown very fast, with a good combination of technique and body.

Kidd's defense is good. Facing a star player like Davis with a tough style of play, skill and body, it is also very difficult to defend.

Under physical confrontation, there is also sending the basketball to the basket.

The bearded beard of the first generation scored two points.

The Magic attack.

Kidd made a three-point jumper and it went wide.

O'Neal grabbed the rebound, scored the ball and rushed out to McGrady, with a tomahawk dunk, and returned two points.

Mashburn resisted McGrady's close defense, used his body to forcibly open the way, and hit a two-pointer with an emergency stop jumper.

However, the Magic continued to shoot three-pointers.

Reid threw off David Wesley's defense by running back and covering, caught the ball, jumped up, and blocked the shot with his left hand...

Swish-!
Or the Magic had the upper hand.

This is why black eight miracles are so difficult.

No. 1 record team, generally against the No. 8 record team, the strength of the lineup is crushed.

It is really very difficult to reverse the black eight.

At this time, the difference between the two sides began to gradually widen.

Six minutes into the second quarter, the difference between the two sides has reached 6 points.

Li Mu started to make substitutions, replacing Tony Parker, Maggette and Malloy.

The Magic's rotation still has the upper hand.

At the end of the first half, the Magic has expanded the point difference to 15 points.

After 15 minutes of recuperation, they changed sides to fight in the second half.

With a big wave of his hand, Li Mu sent out the starting lineup.

Paul Silas also played all the cards without any reservations.

The third quarter started.

The Hornets are not willing to lose the game.

Davis took out his stunt and fought back desperately.

Don't ask, asking is just a three-pointer.

Coming to the frontcourt, facing the defense directly, it is a three-pointer.

Very unreasonable, blindly hitting Ji Ji aggressively.

However, hitting two three-pointers in a row still shocked the Magic.

With a sharp breakthrough and an unreasonable three-pointer, Davis performed like a superstar.

It's just a pity that the Hornets are not enough to compete with the Magic for superstars.

Duncan, Tracy McGrady, Kidd and O'Neal Jr. in the explosive growth period all have the strength to determine the outcome of the game.

David Wellis also scrambled for three points.

The Hornets have two shots in the backcourt, and the three-point efficiency is not high.

After the first three quarters of the game, the Magic has expanded the point difference to 21 points.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Hornets did not want to give up the game.

Playing against the Magic, there is no gain at all, and every game must be contested, which is the attitude of wanting to win.

The Hornets wanted to fight, but Li Mu didn't back down, and continued to put the main force on the court.

Work together to easily block the Hornets' counterattack.

The gap continues to widen.

The two sides are not at the same level at all.

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

比分118比95，魔术队23分大胜黄蜂队，取得首轮系列赛大比分1比0的领先。

Kidd performed well, scoring 15 points, 11 assists and 8 rebounds, a quasi-triple-double performance.

Duncan scored 25 points and 13 rebounds, a stable batch.

McGrady scored 23 points and 5 rebounds. His performance was mediocre, but it was enough.

O'Neal, Jackson and Redd...all had great performances.

Davis, David Willis and Mashburn, the trident, scored 59 points together.

In other positions, but there are no bright surprises to stand up, the Hornets are not wronged.

……

On March 4, TD Waterhouse Center Arena.

The coordinates of G2 in the first round are still in Orlando.

At home, the Magic easily beat the Hornets by 120 points with a score of 85 to 35, taking a 2-0 lead in the series.

The Hornets' outside offensive player is in average condition. Davis was originally a convulsive player.

Tonight, the three-pointer shot was not open, and the breakthrough rhythm was seen through by Kidd.

In addition, the Hornets' outside shooting efficiency is mediocre, and the Magic shrank to protect the basket.

Davis rushed in, there was no room to shoot, and the pass passed out, but his teammates couldn't shoot.

Defensively, the Hornets can't hold up in every position.

Continue to be crushed by strength, and lose another city.

November 4, New Orleans Arena.

The first round of G3 opened, and the Hornets had no way out. Under the pressure of defeating their opponents or going home to fish, they finally broke out.

Davis' three-pointer was like rain.

David Wellis' breakthrough and three-pointer are equally accurate.

Mashben also beat Jackson with his strong body.

As far as offense is concerned, the Hornets have not lost their illness.

However, the strength gap is too obvious.

The Hornets also couldn't stop the Magic's offense.

McGrady, Duncan and O'Neal are also full of firepower.

Coupled with the defense of Kidd and Jackson, the Hornets can't jump.

As a result, the score was 125 to 110, and the Hornets still lost by 15 points.

The Magic eliminated the Hornets 3-0 and advanced to the next round.
