NBA's No. 1 guard

Chapter 134 Magic Team (Second update, please subscribe!)

After winning the Spurs, the Pacers finally stopped the trend of "five consecutive kneelings", and it can be regarded as a slap in the face to the outside media reporters who have turned from "fans" to "black".

They predicted before the game that the Pacers must go back with the "glory" of "six consecutive kneelings", but they never expected that the Pacers would win the game.

Now the reporters who were madly boasting about the Spurs were as disgusting as eating shit, but the Pacers players were very happy. After returning to Indiana, the team specially took a day off.

The Pacers' next opponent is the Magic from Orlando, which is also a giant team in the league.

They are rich in all kinds of "invincible centers", such as O'Neal, Howard, and Nikola Vucevic who will shine in the future.

The inside center and outside three-pointers are synonymous with this team. Since the Magic team traded "head star" Howard to the Lakers in 2012, their record has hit a record low, and they have missed the playoffs for two consecutive years.

Although Vucevic's performance is still impressive, last season he averaged 14.2 points and 11.0 rebounds per game in a double-double, and he also had 1.8 assists and 1.1 steals per game, scoring and defending well.

Vucevic is definitely an underestimated star. His average assists per game can get 1.8, which is already a good statistic among centers, and his mid-range shot is very stable, which can stably help his teammates to open up space. His wingspan is also a great weapon for him. The length of 7 feet 4 is enough for him to cover any angle on the court.

And this guy is a typical "low salary and high energy". The contract just signed this year is 4 million for 5400 years. On average, it is about 1350 million a year.

Today, when the salary cap of the league is rising day by day, more than 1000 million "double-double" players per year are already a very cheap price.

The Magic's three-pointers are also very good. Their current center has two people, one is Vucevic and the other is Channing Frye.

Unlike Vucevic, Channing Frye is a typical "spatial" No. [-] player. He is so thin that even defenders can't stop him, but he has a unique skill. His three-pointers are very accurate, and he is a very rare "three-pointer" center.

He was just traded to the Magic this year. He averaged 11.1 points per game with the Suns last season, shooting 43.2% from the field and 37.0% from three. However, he averaged only 5.1 rebounds per game, 4.2 of which were offensive rebounds.

After being traded to the Magic this season, the division of labor between him and Vucevic is different. The two play at the same time, but the positions will be switched.If the center forward of the team you are facing is not strong, let Channing Frye play the 5th position, which can help the team score faster. If you are inside, you will let it go. Anyway, your center forward is not strong.

I have to say that if this tactic is played well, it is really unstoppable. The center on the inside can be pulled out to shoot three-pointers, not to mention there are fierce men like Oladipo on the outside.

In Xu Xiang's memory, this year is the year when "Audi" broke out. Last season, he averaged 13.8 points per game, shooting 41.9% from the field and 32.7% from the three-point range.

Oladipo is also a player that Xu Xiangman likes. The typical "thousand-year-old daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law" type. Although he was favored by others since he entered the league, he wasted for several years. It was not until later generations came to the Pacers that he really broke out. His talent, this guy perfectly replaced Paul George's position in the hearts of Indian City fans.

Xu Xiang also played against him once in the summer league this year. As a black player, he looks very strong, with a height of 193, only a little taller than Xu Xiang, but much heavier than Xu Xiang, and looks very strong.

His body fat rate reached 6.55% on the side, which is a very high figure.

Moreover, his movement speed is very fast, a bit like Wade, and he is the kind of operation that rushes to the basket and forces a layup. At this stage, his three-pointers are still being developed, so every round of offense is done by breakthroughs, or mid-range pull-ups.

And there is another person in their starting lineup called Tobias Harris. He was the 11th pick in the first round in 19 and joined the Magic in 13.

When he was in the Bucks for the first two years, it was impossible to see that he was worthy of starting. As a power forward, he averaged 5.0 points and 2.4 rebounds per game and 4.9 points and 2.0 rebounds per game.

It can be said to be reborn, just like a different person.

He is not tall enough, and usually uses the height of a small forward to play the position of a power forward. When facing some taller power forwards, he is often unable to do what he wants and cannot achieve the desired effect, but his ball-handling skills are very good. Compared with the average power forward, his ball-handling skills are far ahead.Moreover, his breakthrough in the middle is very fast, and his starting speed is very fast. It is difficult for ordinary big men to prevent his first step.

This season they are also a bad team. Although they have been bad for two years in a row, they have been unlucky and have not drawn a particularly high-ranking lottery.

In terms of book strength, the Magic's group of stars who have not grown up is still not as good as the Pacers, but they have achieved a record of 7 wins and 11 losses at the beginning of the season, ranking eighth in the Eastern Conference, and the Pacers After winning the Spurs, their record has reached 8-7, ranking third in the Eastern Conference, parallel to the Heat, but due to the win relationship, the Pacers are ahead of the Heat.
