Chapter 220: Hit a ghost?

Without waiting to get out of the shadow of being killed, the Raptors set off to Orlando to challenge the Magic led by Francis and Howard. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The Magic team also doesn't have a long history, they only entered the league in 1989, and within a few years of entering the league, they were competitive. They drafted O'Neal and Hardaway in '92 and '93 respectively, and in the '94-95 season, they reached the Finals under the leadership of the talented duo, and although they were killed by the veteran Rockets, they had a bright future.

But the good times didn't last long, and they lost the player who transformed the team in the '96 offseason, Shaquille O'Neal! Although he also wandered in the playoffs, he was never able to break through. At the beginning of the new century, they freed up a lot of salary space to bring in McGrady and Grant Hill, who were hot free agents at the time.

Here, McGrady grew into a superstar, but made a first-round trip in the playoffs for three consecutive years and missed the playoffs in his fourth year. Faced with a roster of injuries, especially Grant Hill's back-to-back injury reimbursements, and the growing pains of waiting for rookie Howard, McGrady lost confidence and made a lot of trouble, and in the middle of the 04-05 season, they made the decision to trade with the Rockets.

Then this season, the Magic team still didn't do anything, and the lottery was their home, but at least Howard grew up, and the departed McGrady, a superstar, was injured. Dramatically, the Rockets' record is worse than the Magic at this time, and I don't know how big a shadow McGrady is now.

Before the start of the game, the Raptors rallied in the locker room and shouted slogans again, they vowed to save the decline, and they were bound to win if they did not accept a three-game losing streak. Jamal is back, the lineup is complete, the momentum is very hot, and the big guy is still full of confidence in winning the Magic. Jamal is certainly going to prove to the death that the Raptors didn't trade him.

On the contrary, the Magic team has no desire, they are just training, and Francis is detached, and the "privilege" is still in the mood of being thrown off by the Rockets, and it seems that victory has become a luxury for them.

The Amway Center Arena was crowded, and the audience was still very interested in this young team. With the end of the opening performance, under the guidance of DJ, the players came out one after another, and after the warm-up of the event, the game was about to begin.

The Magic starting lineup features point guard Francis, shooting guard DeSean Stevenson, small forward Hido Tecoglou, power forward Tony Barty, and center Dwight Howard. Raptors point guard Kyle, shooting guard Jalen, small forward Peterson, power forward Bosh, center Jamal, and Joey were pushed back to the bench.

Howard's best thing about his physicality, terrifying bounce and speed earned him the No. 1 pick in '04. So the jump ball is his unique skill, and the Magic team strikes first. Francis controlled the ball forward, this righteous and awe-inspiring talent, most famous, during the draft that year, explicitly refused to report to the Grizzlies who were still in Vancouver at the time, and the Grizzlies were really scared off and have been given the title of "privilege" by everyone since then.

But now the "privilege" is no longer the courage of the past, his body is beginning to swell, and the mind of that discipline is not on the team, victory is not particularly important to him, and a good life is what he yearns for. Although he still has an average of 16.5 points, 5.6 assists and 5 rebounds per game, his defensive attitude, mentality has changed, and his concept is completely different.

Kyle will not slack off, go all out, Francis did not hesitate at all, did not rely on his teammates to block and dismantle, and directly broke through against Kyle. With a quick stride, Kyle was passed by two steps and witnessed Francis twist and make a layup. Kyle remorsefully blamed himself for not expecting Francis's strength and speed to be as good as him, which cost Kyle a loss in the first round.

"How? I'm not old yet! "New Yorkers have a soft spot for Kyle, and Francis has a genuine affection for New York, so Francis is very unimpressed with Kyle.

"Awesome! So what? Old guy. Kyle took control of the ball and moved forward, accelerating as he spoke, and a stride dribble changed direction past Francis, leaping directly to the basket and dunking.

Kyle strikes Francis in the same way.

"Are you provoking me?" Francis pushed forward and did not forget to keep his mouth shut.

"You're not Aaron! Do you think it's necessary for me to do this? Kyle pouted and shook his head, looking serious.

"Die!"

Francis came again, Kyle had been prepared, but he was still pulled back by Francis's telescopic and rushed straight under his crotch. The Raptors have a defense and a blockage under the basket, but Francis once was able to stand alone in the world, so he naturally has a set, picking the ball over Jalen's defense, and then facing Jamal directly, throwing it high, Howard flew up and scored a dunk, which led to the whole court.

Kyle had no intention of dwelling on Francis, he gave the ball to Jamal who pulled it out, and then ran away on his own, and the Raptors resumed this tactic. The rest of the personnel were interspersed with running positions, and Jamal singled with his back, and he didn't push Howard for a long time, but he didn't move, and Kyle used to answer from time to time.

Jay was very active today, ran very diligently, and finally paid off his hard work, and there was an empty seat in the bottom corner. Kyle cut to Jamal's pass and gave it to him, Jalen took aim and then pressed it hard.

The Magic's Turkoglou connected at the free-throw line and passed inside to Barty, who also made a layup.

Looking back, Jamal still didn't do anything, he couldn't move Howard, and he didn't have the flexibility of the other party when he moved, which was equivalent to a dead spot, and it didn't play a role in responding at all. Kyle had to take the ball, block and break through, Jalen was empty again outside the three-point line, Kyle still chose to trust, and the latter didn't shoot again.

Sometimes that's how it is, the more you can't throw, the more you can't throw, the more you can't throw. There will be a crisis of trust, my teammates have that kind of subconscious that I won't pass on to you if you can't do it, and the opponent will deliberately leak people out, regardless of it, because they also think that you can't make it.

Jalen is now in this embarrassing situation, averaging 18.5 points per game last season, but now it has dropped to only a fraction, which is sad and lamentable! Who is to blame? Kyle! Bosh! Sam! Himself! Luck! Both.

Francis came back and shot a three-point shot directly, not giving Kyle a chance, but unfortunately not! Howard showed the rebounding advantage, and in the combination of Bosh and Jamal, he dunked the ball in the air, jumped too fast and too high, and was really unstoppable.

Off-site offense and defense, Kyle hoisted the ball to Jamal, who he felt needed time to get used to, after all, he hadn't played in seven games. But the result is the same, it can't be moved at all, Kyle just wanted to respond, and Jamal gave the ball to Jalen at this time, still empty.

Jay was a little hesitant, but he still raised his hand to shoot! The sound of striking iron resumed. The three vacant seats did not enter, he was desperate, his eyes were foggy, what kind of situation is this, he hit a ghost? (To be continued.) )
