Chapter 220 The offense is gorgeous, but the defense is leaky!
hum~
The buzzer sounded, and the Raptors heard heaven.

The game is finally over, and every second played is a torment for the Raptors.

The score was 138 to 91. In the opening game, the Magic slammed the Raptors with 47 points and got a good start to the new season.

基德在魔术队首秀，轰下了14分19助攻8篮板3抢断2封盖。

This performance, if you don't look at the shooting percentage of 19 of 5 shots, the debut is simply amazing.

Duncan scored 26 points and 13 rebounds and continued to maintain a steady performance.

McGrady was affected and only scored 25 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.

Jermaine O'Neal benefited and scored 20 points and 7 rebounds.

Reid also benefited a lot, hitting 5 three-pointers, scoring 19 points and 2 rebounds, turning from a fringe man to a super scoring star.

Carter scored 35 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds, but he was alone.

Olajuwon only had 12 points and 7 rebounds, and he lost no temper.

……

The opening game is over.

The Magic have a day off.

On November 11, there will be a game.

The opponent is the very difficult Kings.

At this time, the king has officially entered the golden age, and its offensive firepower has reached the league's first.

The Kings were not satisfied, and continued to upgrade their lineup, signing the future super sixth man Bobby Jackson.

The biggest change is the replacement of Jason Williams for Mike Bibby.

In other words, Bibby will not say whether it can be suitable for Princeton's tactics, but at least the Kings don't have to panic when they see Jason Williams holding the ball.

On the night of November 11, Orlando, TD Waterhouse Center Arena.

In the second game of the new season, the Magic officially started against the Kings.

The Magic started with 5 players, Kidd, McGrady, Jackson, Duncan, and O'Neal.

Kings starting lineup, Mike Bibby, Christie, Stojakovic, Webber, Divac.

beep~
The whistle sounded.

Duncan and Divac take off at the same time.

Duncan is flying and Divac is flooring.

There is no suspense, Duncan made the first attack for the Magic.

Kidd arched Bibby with his back in the frontcourt, step by step, arching to the sweet spot of shooting.

Turn around, pull the ball, take a fadeaway two-point jump shot...

Swish-!
0 to 2! !
"Kidd was just so gifted physically.

This ball has no technical sales, purely using physical talent to bully people. "Mike Breen explained blankly.

"Fortunately, the Kings never rely on defense to win."

Offensive and defensive conversion.

The Kings attack.

Mike Bibby frontcourt, hand in hand, the basketball to the high Webber.

The high-post organization passed the ball to the basket, Bibby caught the ball, hit the back of the Magic, shot quickly, avoided Jermaine O'Neal's block, and scored two points.

2 to 2! !
"On one play, it was clear that Mike Bibby was a good fit for Princeton's tactics.

Bibby was the No. 98 pick in 7, but Jason Williams was the No. [-] pick, not for nothing. ’ Albert the groom laughed.

"However, defensively, he is still 1 meters tall, and he is still at a disadvantage.

Kidd continued to single out Mike Bibby, using his body to break into the inside line, and Webb rushed over to help defend.

Bang-dang-!
Duncan's alley-oop, the whole body is hung on the basket.

Kidd and Duncan connected and easily scored another two points. "

2 to 4! !
The Kings attack.

Bibikong cut into the inside, Kidd did not follow up.

Webber was on Kidd's head, pulled the ball up, raised his hand and shot a two-point jumper...

Swish-!
4 to 4! !
Kidd's outside defense is a top master, but this is a big and small inside.

"Webber at his peak, the CIC is perfect.

Princeton's attacking style is naturally not weak. ” commented Mike Breen.

In the final analysis, Princeton's tactics are center support.

The ability to evacuate and organize passes is essential.

Weber's omnipotence is the soul of this Princeton system.

The Magic attack.

Kidd continues to hit Mike Bibby on this.

Christie came over to help defend, a scalpel-like pass appeared from Kidd's hands, and the basketball flew into McGrady's hands in an air cut.

He pulled the ball up, jumped up in the paint, and dodged Webber's block in the air.

Clang.

Gliding made a one-handed dunk and scored two points.

4 to 6! !
"The Kings are weird enough.

The offensive league is one of the best, but the defensive line is leaking everywhere.

Bibby couldn't stop the outside line, and Webber and Divac didn't protect the basket inside.

This is a failure inside and outside! "Mike Brin shook his head and explained.

The Kings' offense is gorgeous and gorgeous, but their defense is very deadly.

The Kings attack.

Webb continued to come out, and he was about to pass the ball hand-to-hand with Bibby.

Unexpectedly, Webb did not catch the ball, but instead made a pick-and-roll screen for Bibby.

After passing Kidd, Bibby went to the inside, and before Duncan's supplementary defense was in place, he had pulled the ball up and made a two-point jumper...

There is nothing superfluous in the whole action.

Unpretentious, the exact opposite of Jason Williams.

Swish-!
Accurate hit.

6 to 6! !
"Last season Mike Bibby shot 45 percent and averaged 16 points and 11 rebounds per game.

CIC can be said to be very accurate, giving him offensive space is a chance to score. "Mafu Albert introduced Bibby's situation.

"Just looking at the offensive stats, it's even stronger than Kidd.

Of course, the comparison is just offense. "

On the field.

Kidd knew that on the outside of the Kings, only Christie's defense was reliable.

The Kings are not strong enough to protect the basket inside.

After observing that Mike Bibby intentionally let him shoot the ball, he directly played an outside screen with Tracy McGrady.

He handed the basketball to McGrady, and at the same time, blocked Christie with his body.

On a quick first step, McGrady dribbles past Mike Bibby's defense.

When Webber and Divac hit the goal to help defend, McGrady stopped and pulled up, and made a two-point fadeaway jumper...

Bang-dang-!
"McGrady's offensive options are terrible.

Although with his talent, he has a lot of offensive space, but as long as he is willing to score the ball, it is an open opportunity for the basket.

McGrady messed up his shot.

what!
still have a chance.

The basket was blocked by Duncan and O'Neal.

Duncan easily took the rebound, and with a bang, he made a second attack and dunked the basketball. "

6 to 8! !
Off the court, Adelman shook his head.

Compared with Duncan, Webber's height is too disadvantageous.

Basic skills at the basket, Duncan is the existence of the ceiling.

Inside, the Kings held Webber and Divac, and they lost so much.

How can this be defended?

It seems that we can only attack.

On the field.

Weber received the ball from a high position, and Kidd completed the close-fitting, hands and knees, and there were secret little moves.

Fortunately, Stojakovic came to make a clearance, received the pass from Weber, and with the help of Weber's cover, got rid of Jackson, arced at the top of the three-point line, raised his hand and shot a three-point jumper...

Swish-!
The hand raised the knife and fell, three points into the bag.

9 to 8! !
Stojakovic's three-pointer is at the level of Ray Allen and Klay Thompson.

Last season, he averaged 20 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists per game, and his state is close to its peak.

The only difference is the position of the ball and the core of tactics.

The strength is quite strong.
