NBA super point guard

This year's Magic team is very strong. Warcraft Howard is the core of the Magic's defense. The addition of Lewis and Turkoglu made the Magic's strength grow rapidly last year and return to the ranks of the Eastern Conference.

Such a terrible pitching lineup makes many teams daunted.

It is an indisputable fact that the Thunder team is weak inside.

The Thunder once again got the light of a strong team.

ESPN game preview:

"The Magic's lineup is becoming more and more perfect. We have to say that they have the strength to compete for the championship this year. Van Gundy will make the Thunder very uncomfortable in today's game."

Orlando local media WCPX directly kneeled and licked:

"The only highlight of this game, center Howard!"

"As we all know, in the last game between the two teams, Howard scored a large triple-double, while the former head coach of the Thunder, Carlesimo, was helpless against Warcraft and could only watch the team being slaughtered."

"The new head coach Brooks took the stage. Although the team ended the team's losing streak and led the team to two consecutive victories, judging from the Thunder's tactics, it is still a mess. That is to say, in a short period of time, the Thunder wants to improve their record. , is undoubtedly an unsolvable answer!"

People in Orlando love to watch the carnage, especially when they're beating down dogs.

Half an hour before the game, the Amway Arena has turned into a blue ocean.

Basically no one is optimistic about the Thunder team, even the Thunder team thinks so.

Li Muhua glanced at the home environment, and couldn't help sighing secretly, is it really good to have a sense of presence on a weak team, every team's fans want to step on the Thunder.

"Guys, I know this game is difficult. Even if we lose, we still have to show our momentum. Can you do it?" After talking about the team's tactics, Brooks clapped his hands to show his encouragement.

"Yes, sir!"

There is an advantage of having many young players. Just say a few words, and the team can be ignited immediately.

The ball was redistributed among center Chris, small forward Durant, and point guard Westbrook.

In other words, the three of them will serve as the core of the team's offense next.

For a long time, the core of the Thunder's offense has been Durant, and the ball rights have been reasonably distributed to other players. However, after Brooks came to power, he distributed the ball rights again, allowing the main players to perform more.

This change is very heartwarming. After all, the players' statistics are good, so they can gain a foothold in the NBA.

After the kick-off, the possession of the ball belonged to the Magic, and Chris shook his head regretfully.

The Thunder basically didn't expect to get the ball in the opening game.

After Jamil brought the ball to the frontcourt, he handed it directly to Lewis in the bottom corner, and then passed it to Howard. As the core of the team, the first attack must be Howard's.

That's the core privilege.

Howard is a rough guy, unskilled, relying on physical talent to crush, in line with the NBA's consistent characteristics of a center.Last season's Superman Dunk King was very popular, and there were many fans wearing Superman costumes.

Superman's physical fitness, funnyness, and love of laughing make fans ignore his weak technical skills.

"Boom!"

Although Chris couldn't run in the name of a soft guy, he still stuck Howard with his body and didn't let him get close to the basket. Howard hit the iron.

Next, the outside shots of the two teams began to explode, and the sound of iron strikes surrounded the stereo, filling the entire game.

Li Muhua was dumbfounded, the Thunder would be fine, and the Magic would follow suit. It seemed that the hoop at Amway Stadium had become extremely small today.

At the end of the first quarter, the scores of the two teams were very low, which was terrible.

Howard had 10 rebounds in the first quarter, 6 of which were offensive rebounds.The one who helped the Magic the most was probably Nelson at the No. 3 position. He made 2 of [-] three-pointers and was the player with the highest shooting percentage of the two teams.

Nelson is shorter than Watson, and he seems to be very low-key in organizing the offense, but the two three-pointers in the second half made the young players of the Thunder flustered.

Fortunately, Watson returned a three-pointer after coming off the bench, otherwise the Thunder's mentality would have collapsed in the first quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the two teams got on the bench very tacitly.

As for Li Muhua, he is still not included in the main bench lineup. Brooks has his own considerations.

Joe Smith played as a backup center and made 4 of 0 shots, which severely pitted the Thunder.Fortunately, Turkoglu and Lewis made frequent three-point shots, and the two turned around brilliantly, which prevented the score from further expanding.

The Magic quickly requested a substitution, and Li Muhua was replaced by Brooks.

The Magic's tactics are very clear. As soon as Tony Batty came up, the ball was immediately handed over to him, and he directly attacked Joe Smith under the basket.

Ball transfer.

Li Muhua controlled the ball and slowly crossed the center line. Facing JJ Redick's defense, he directly called Jeff Green for a pick-and-roll.

In terms of speed, Redick is no worse than Li Muhua. The two are similar in height and almost belong to the same type of players, but they are a point guard and a shooting guard.Li Muhua did not choose to shoot himself, but passed it back to Jeff Green.

Jeff Green's game today is very good, maintaining a [-]% hit rate.

Mid-range jumper into the ball.

Redick is a shooter who is good at erratic running. Defending such a player makes Li Muhua miserable. In the state of super brain, he already consumes a lot of energy, and the opponent's desperate running style hastened the loss of Li Muhua's energy. speed.

This was undoubtedly fatal to Li Muhua.

Tony Batty, the core of the Magic's offense, scored again, and Wilkins turned around and caught Li Muhua's pass.

After Tony Batty received the ball, he didn't make a strong attack, but in the next second, it suddenly passed to Redick outside the three-point arc.

"Snapped!"

The moment Redick dropped the basketball, Li Muhua rushed over from the other side and slapped the ball hard.

"beep!"

The basketball went out of the sideline, and the Magic had possession of the ball. At this time, the Magic's attack time was less than three seconds.

"Nice job, man, you've got a good defense!"

"LI, defend a few more of them!"

The teammates on the field gathered around and praised.

Li Muhua nodded and smiled wryly. His family knew about his family affairs. Redick took him for a walk with the dog, and his physical exertion was more serious than usual. Just now, because of lack of physical strength, he almost missed Redick.

Redick is not considered strong, but unintentionally, he is the type to restrain Li Muhua's super brain.

"Do I have to change my defense target?"

Li Muhua thought to himself.

The Magic didn't want to give up the ball easily. The conservative coach Van Gundy called a timeout for this purpose. After all, the block just now hurt the morale of the outside players.

"LI, is there something wrong with you?"

Brooks was surprised when he saw Li Muhua's exhausted appearance.
