Chapter 135 Fighting the Garbage Brothers
The Magic narrowly beat the Thunder, taking away a victory from Oklahoma City.Russell Westbrook, who owns the city, scored 19 points, 5 rebounds and 20 assists in the game, but it was precisely because of the lack of this point that they lost the game.

An Xiaonan scored 28 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds in the whole game. It was not as explosive as the previous game, but it was still well planned.

The Orlando Magic's schedule after the All-Star Game can be said to have a lot of strong opponents. The first game after the All-Star Game will be away to the Philadelphia 76ers, and the second game will be away to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

And this is the last game at the end of the month, which is to sit at home against the Toronto Raptors, the number one in the Eastern Conference.

The Toronto Raptors, who have the backcourt combination of the garbage brothers, performed extremely well in the regular season.They currently top the Eastern Conference standings, leading the No.2 Boston Celtics by as many as three and a half games.

But there is a saying in the market, the Raptors are the Raptors in the regular season, and the Raptors become hazy in the playoffs.

Therefore, the true strength of the Raptors must wait until the playoffs to show.

An Xiaonan was a little upset, because after the All-Star Game, they had to face too many powerful enemies, and they would come one after another.

But even if he has no choice but to face the game against the Raptors.

Fortunately, his games are not back-to-back games.

So he has enough time to do some inappropriate things with Roland.

For example, the night after the victory over the Thunder, they were lingering and fighting fiercely all night.

That night, all An Xiaonan felt was moisture and warmth.

All Roland felt that night was huge and hot.

In this way, for the training on the second day, An Xiaonan was almost late again, and was almost beaten to death by Vogel.

Time passed quickly, and the game against the Raptors started on the night of February 2.

"An Xiaonan, do you know why I am only 9 years old now?" Jisen and An Xiaonan walked into the Amway Arena side by side.

"Brett, are you kidding me? How could you be only nine years old? Are you 40 years old?" An Xiaonan looked at Ji Sen in disbelief. He thought Ji Sen was playing with him.

"An Xiaonan, I really didn't lie to you, because my birthday is on February 2th. So I can only grow one year every four years, and my life span may only be more than 29 years." Jisen said this seriously Ridiculous words.

A few black lines immediately appeared on An Xiaonan's forehead: "Damn, I didn't expect your birthday to be so special! There is no way to celebrate your birthday this year!"

Ji Sen's expression suddenly became ambiguous, and he covered his chest with his right hand: "It's okay, something happier than my birthday has happened today."

"It seems interesting?" An Xiaonan quickened his pace.

"Of course you know? I was with that so-and-so last night... Hey, An Xiaonan, why are you walking so fast!" Ji Sen shouted hurriedly when he saw An Xiaonan walking away quickly.

"Come on, Brett, I don't want to hear you bragging about your romantic history as a bachelor in your late forties."

"Shit, I'm not a bachelor now! Young people are shit."

……

Saying hello to the opponent has become An Xiaonan's necessary habit in every game.

"Hi DeRozan!"

Tonight's target is the Raptors' head guard and their core scorer, DeMar DeRozan.

DeRozan turned his gaze to An Xiaonan.

"It's you, rookie." He looked very melancholy, as if he had encountered something unhappy.

"What's wrong with you? DeRozan? Are you out of shape tonight?" An Xiaonan approached and said.

DeRozan didn't have any expression, he was like a man with eyeliner.

"Whatever you say." DeRozan was very cold.

An Xiaonan was a little unhappy: "The game should be played happily, why be so cold!"

This sentence immediately caused DeRozan's discomfort: "You'd better not say similar things again."

An Xiaonan smiled: "Are all the rumors true?"

DeRozan was taken aback, he didn't expect An Xiaonan to have such a reaction.

An Xiaonan patted DeRozan on the shoulder before walking up the mountain, and said sincerely: "Come on, Dema. You will definitely be able to overcome your demons."

DeRozan froze in place, An Xiaonan turned and returned to his own camp.

That's right, DeMar DeRozan is actually a depressed patient. He has severe depression and wants to quit basketball for this reason.

So far he has not announced to the outside world that he has depression, and he planned to wait until after the game.But he didn't expect An Xiaonan to have already guessed it?
A smile appeared on the corner of An Xiaonan's mouth.

It's really not easy for DeRozan. He still has to play games while fighting against illness, which is worthy of An Xiaonan's admiration.

DeRozan clenched his fists secretly, and his blurred eyes gradually became colorful.

Kyle Lowry on the side looked fascinated.

The game started, and the Raptors had one of the best centers in the East-Valanciunas.

Valanciunas outmaneuvered Vucevic in a jump-ball battle to give the Raptors their first chance on possession.

On the first attack, Lowry gave the ball to DeRozan, and DeRozan tried to break through without hesitation in the face of Fournier's defense.

An Xiaonan was taken aback. He had studied DeRozan's style of play. So far this season, DeRozan has never shown such an aggressive desire to attack at the beginning of the game.

DeRozan is different tonight!
For some reason, An Xiaonan felt a warmth in his heart.

It is not that An Xiaonan's family does not have depression patients, and it is precisely because of the presence of depression patients in the family that he was able to conclude that DeRozan has depression through clues.

DeRozan missed his first fadeaway jumper.

However, the Magic's offense did not start all at once, and the start of both sides seemed a bit slow.After 2 minutes of play, neither side has scored.

DeRozan's state is really not very good.

The first person to break the scoring drought was Kyle Lowry. After going through tactics, Kyle Lowry got an open shot. He received a pass from DeRozan outside the three-point line and firmly grasped this opportunity. Long took the lead.

This attack also allowed DeRozan's offense to pick up. After cooperating with Valanciunas in the pick-and-roll, he forced himself into the inside and scored the ball.

It can be said that only when he plays recklessly on the court can he temporarily put his depression behind him.

Of course, this is only under the precondition of winning.

The Raptors achieved good results in the first 5 minutes, and they led the Magic 8:5.
