This is the second time Ruan Erniu has come to Orlando, and the last time he came here was to participate in the rookie training camp. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info to be honest, this is an unforgettable memory.

Last season, the Orlando Magic finished the regular season with a 40-42 record and managed to advance to the top eight in the East. In the playoffs, facing the Detroit Pistons, who are first in the East, it is reasonable to be eliminated in the first round.

This summer, the Magic's biggest move was to bring back Rashad Lewis from free agency with a six-year, $11,275 million-dollar contract. Originally, the superSonics' second-in-command was closer to his hometown team, the Houston Rockets. But at the critical moment, Magic's general manager Otis Smith made a big move, throwing the 100 million yuan contract in Lewis's face.

So, as seen by the melon-eating crowd, the homesick Rashad Lewis immediately surged with the pride of a good boy in all directions, and with his space-oriented power forward talent ahead of his time, he came to Orlando, ready to usher in a new era with Sparks and Turkoglou.

Of course, there is no shortage of overrated rhetoric in the league, but whether Lewis can make a concrete difference to the Magic team will be tested by the game. However, there are also a lot of interesting comments about this: for example, Rockets general manager Morey deliberately inflated the price, and newly appointed Magic coach Stan Van Gundy has a preference for projection interior lines, etc.

Anyway, no matter how much criticism is given by the outside world, Rashad Lewis has managed to get his supergiant contract.

Before the start of the game, Ruan Erniu said to Marvin Williams beside him with a relaxed face: "Marven, are you nervous? Your opponent is the tenth Mr. Billion in the league!"

Marvin Williams sneered: "Very good, after beating him, I can ask the team for the maximum salary!"

Courage is commendable, but in Erniu's opinion, his teammate is still quite inferior to Rashad Lewis. At the very least, Marvin Williams doesn't have a 40% three-point shooting percentage and a 22+6 average per game.

Mike Woodson announced his starting line-up for the game half an hour before the game:

c Ruan Er Niu

P.F. Marvin Williams

S.F. Josh Smith

SG Joe Johnson

PG Anthony Johnson

Ruan Erniu looked at the two front-court partners, one on the left and one on the right, and felt more and more that he had the style of an underworld boss. On the left is 206cm Marvin Williams, on the right is a 206cm lunar eclipse, and in the middle, 201cm Ruan Er Niu. There's absolutely no more bizarre frontcourt combination in the league.

Before officially entering the game, Erniu said to Woodson: "Mike, am I the shortest starting center in the league?"

Mike Woodson took the information from the uniforms, looked at it, and said, "I'm sorry to tell you, it's not. Because last season, after your compatriot in Houston retired from injury, a guy named Chuck Hayes became the starting center of the Rockets, and if there is no error in the data, he should be 198cm tall. ”

Hearing this, Ruan Erniu smiled knowingly, great, there is really a guy who is worse than me!

At the same time, the Magic side also confirmed their starting lineup:

C Dwight Howard

P.F. Rashad Lewis

SF Sidhu Tekoglu

SG Morris Evans

PG Jamil Nelson

Before stepping onto the court, Ruan Erniu also encountered a spark in the players' tunnel. The big living treasure greeted Erniu with a "Hello!" as a greeting, "Man, I watched this year's NCAA Finals, you are much better than that Greg Oden, he is just an overrated person, you and Yao are really talented players!"

What does it mean to be a peer to be an enemy? What is the ridicule of the league's top center? Ruan Erniu can understand that the three major centers looked down on O'Neal back then, O'Neal looked down on Howard, and now it is Howard's turn to look down on Oden. This chain of contempt, which has been passed down from generation to generation, is actually very telling.

However, Ruan Erniu still replied with a smile: "Auden has an injury to his right hand, and I take advantage of this." By the way, I also played as a center forward this season. So, Mr. Superman, you have to pay attention. There's a no-fly zone above me!"

Spark also smiled and said: "Return the original words, Eastern Tyrant!"

oriental-tyrant, that is, the tyrant of the East, this is the new nickname given to Ruan Erniu by the evil rice media. Although it is full of slow malice, it can also show Ruan Erniu's dominance and influence. Even Yao Ming never received such treatment in his rookie season.

With the referee's whistle, the preseason game between the Magic and the Hawks finally began.

Although Ruan Erniu bounced well, Howard, who possessed his height, still slapped the ball into the hands of Turk Tekoglu for the first time.

After falling into the half-court position, Ruan Erniu did not hesitate to push the spark out of the three-second zone. In his pre-game defensive set-up, Mike Woodson repeatedly stressed not to let Howard receive the ball too deep. Once out of the danger zone, his threat is almost nil.

"Hey, rookie, take it easy! It's just a preseason game, and if you work so hard, I'm afraid you won't have the strength to make it through the regular season. Spark said this, but he didn't have much malice.

But Erniu, who is in the state of the game, is not the guy who giggles off the field: "Don't talk nonsense, it's game time!"

Howard took two steps outward, and at the same time put his elbow against Ruan Erniu's chest and said, "Rookie, I said this kindly. ”

After three passes and two downs, the basketball flew towards Howard. And Spark's current position was clearly out of his attack range.

However, Huo Dehua still has the heart to try Ruan Erniu's catties. After leaning back twice without squeezing his opponent away, a feint to the right followed by a swift left turn as Howard raised his left hand in the air to complete a dashing small toss.

He underestimated Ruan Erniu's reflex nerves and speed, and with a "snap", the ball was shot out of the sideline by Ruan Erniu. Without a doubt, it's a beautiful closure.

Great power, fast bullets, and amazing reflexes!Howard immediately restrained his smile and his characteristic cynicism. This short inside line in front of him is definitely a fierce opponent.

Lewis received a sideline serve, shot outside the three-point line, and the ball missed!

The rebound was obtained by Ruan Erniu, who did not follow the usual routine of the Hawks last season and handed the ball to the guard or embarrassed Sen, but dribbled the ball through the half court alone.

The Magic's retreat cannot be said to be untimely, but it is Howard who is opposite Ruan Erniu. The center has always been more accustomed to defending from the inside. But Ruan Erniu, who rushed up, obviously wouldn't give Spark this chance.

At the free-throw line, Ruan Erniu accelerated past the unstable monster. Then with a relaxing split, this offensive and defensive transition was completed. From grabbing the rebound to completing the score, the entire attack process is estimated to take no more than 6 seconds.

Stan Van Gundy, the head coach of the Magic team, looked at Mike Woodson, who was standing not far away with his hands and elbows, and muttered to himself, "Even the wooden man has started to experiment like crazy and play with small balls?"
