Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 224 Who is the real Avenger!
On March 11, the American West Arena.

The Magic continued their trip to the West and challenged the Suns away.

The Suns and the Magic have a good relationship. In the past few years, the Magic have left two big masters here.

Just looking at the starting lineup of the Suns, it is completely a revenge alliance lineup.

Arenas, Hill, Hardaway, Marion, Pat Garrity.

The head coach of the Suns also seemed to have bad intentions. There were actually 4 players who were traded from the Magic.

If you add Booutello as a substitute, you can have a starting lineup.

Of course, who needs to talk about revenge?
In the starting lineup of the Magic, there are also two players previously associated with the Suns.

Kidd, McGrady, Jackson, Duncan, O'Neal.

beep~
There is no suspense, the jump ball Duncan wins.

The Suns have five small lineups, and the tallest is Garrity's 2 meters.

To be fair, the Magic has an absolute advantage inside.

Kidd dribbled to the frontcourt, but missed Duncan and O'Neal.

Cross step change direction, Kidd actually chose to use his not good at breakthrough.

Bang...!
The strong body opened the way, knocked away Arenas, and made a small throw.

Swish-!
2 to 0! !
Arenas has good physical talent, experience and confrontation, but he can't make a move in front of Kidd.

He is just a rookie after all.

"Arenas only played six regular-season games in the NBA.

Although he showed good talent, he still had to pay his tuition.

Especially in the battle, the No.1 active point guard. "Mike Brin laughed.

"Of course, Kidd's attack is purely bullying a rookie."

Next, the first few rounds of the first quarter.

Kidd is cool to bully Arenas, has been bullying has been cool.

Fans who didn't know the beginning of the game probably forgot that Kidd was called "the base doesn't attack"!

He didn't expect that he could change his ways to single out Arenas.

Breakthrough, back attack, dry pull...

Nothing was missed, Arenas was beaten completely unable to look up.

In the end, Marion stood up, like Li Mu in his previous life, wiped Nash's ass, and helped Arisna assist in the defense.

"It can't make up for it at all, it will only focus on one thing and lose another!" the groom Albert just finished speaking.

After Kidd was flanked, he threw the basketball towards the basket. With a bang, Duncan's entire body hung on the basket.

Li Mu shook his head.

Marion played power forward against Duncan, he didn't even care about himself, and wanted to help Arenas make up for it, it was courting death.

At the beginning, the Magic's offense was unstoppable. They played a wave of 15 points and 6 shock waves, which directly stopped the game.

Kidd scored 9 points and 2 assists. Together with Duncan, they almost dominated both offense and defense.

Both sides did not make substitutions, and the game came back.

The Suns are back in shape.

Arenas showed unsparing characteristics, wanted to return to the offense, singled out Kidd in a row, was pressed down by Kidd's strong defense, and even started to shoot unreasonable three-pointers.

But the shooting feels so good that he hit two consecutive three-pointers.

The game quickly chased back.

In the first 7 minutes, the two sides played back and forth, and no one could do anything to the opponent.

For the next few minutes, though, Stephen Jackson stole everyone's thunder by deliberately taking over the game offensively.

At 7 minutes and 20 seconds into the first quarter, Jackson caught the ball from the three-point line, posed an offensive threat, feinted, raised his hand on Hardaway's head, and shot a three-point jumper...

Swish-!
Three-point hits, this is just the beginning.

Afterwards, he made a false shot with the ball, rushed to the basket, jumped up, dunked with the tomahawk, and blasted the basketball into the basket.

Immediately afterwards, during the counterattack, he chased and shot a three-pointer...

Swish-!
Also in.

Before the end of the first quarter, Jackson made a breakthrough, causing Hardaway to foul and get a free throw at the free throw line.

In just a few minutes, he scored 10 points to help the Magic lead the Suns by 35 points with a score of 29 to 6 in the first quarter.

In the 97 draft, Stephen Jackson was selected by the Suns in the second round.

Then, Jackson and a bunch of his black country friends continued to mingle.

To be fair, Jackson is very loyal.

However, in the view of the Suns management, this will affect the value of player merchandise.

If you don't play a game, you will abandon Jackson.

As a high school draft pick, Jackson was still a thorn in the side, so he started his 3-year wandering.

If it weren't for the Suns, he wouldn't have been so miserable.

Facing the Suns, it is natural to desperately revenge.

This is completely different from Hill and Hardaway.

Although they left the Magic, they all signed the maximum salary.

You call this revenge?
That's not necessary.

People like Jackson, who can't even get a contract, can be regarded as real avengers, and don't bully the young and poor.

In the second quarter, Li Mu didn't waste Jackson's self-motivation and let him and Kidd continue to play.

Bring in Reid, Maggette and Magloire.

The Suns here.

Substitute Joe Johnson, Booutello, Jack Chakalidis.

Hardaway and Hill continued to fight.

When the game started, Hardaway dribbled the ball to the front court. With some kind of injury, his ability to break through was greatly reduced.

Facing Kidd, he directly rolled his back, turned over and shot a jumper...

Swish-!
Almighty is Hardaway's label.

When he knew that his breakthrough ability was gone, he immediately practiced his perfect mid-range shot.

Kidd's defense has a good perimeter ceiling, but his height still suffers a lot.

The essence of the point forward's style of play is the style of talent.

35 to 31! !
The Magic attack.

Kidd broke through, changed direction, and targeted Hardaway's lateral speed.

Hardaway, whose physical fitness was declining, tried his best to block Kidd's strong attack, but Kidd took the initiative, turned around, and with a snap, he hit the ground with a ball to Reid who was freed.

At the top arc of the three-point line, Reed seemed to be throwing a block, shooting with his left hand, catching the ball and making a three-point shot...

Swish-!
"The shooting posture is ugly, but the accuracy can kill.

Hollow three-pointer, this second-year rookie shot something. "

38 to 31! !
The Suns attack.

Hardaway dribbles to the frontcourt.

To be reasonable, without the ability to break through, Hardaway has lost his qualifications as a point guard.

It is still difficult to single out with your back.

He points the ball to Hill to break through.

With the backing of the sun doctor, Hill felt at ease suddenly. Jackson fought and retreated, and his defense was perfect. However, Hill had no solution to the one-on-one challenge. He used an emergency stop jumper to easily harvest two points.

38 to 33! !
Looking back, as soon as Jackson's head became hot, he raised his hand and made an unreasonable three-pointer...

"It's still a three-pointer. This choice is a bit bad."

Bang-dang-!
Jackson has the characteristics of a nerve knife, and his three-point shooting is not stable.

Sometimes it will kill the opponent's heart, but sometimes, it will also become an undercover agent, wasting the ball in vain.

It's very Jackson!
Fortunately, Magloire grabbed the rebound, assisted Kidd, and made an air cut layup.

Swish-!
40 to 33! !
