The Orlando Magic, founded in 1989 and joined the NBA, has become a very strong team in a short period of time.

Although this team is young, it also has a lot of famous names -

Shaquille O'Neal, who was drafted by the Magic with the 1992 No. 1 pick. He is one of the top centers in NBA history and his court dominance is unmatched.

Tracy McGrady, the talented high school rookie, won the scoring title two seasons in a row during his time with the Magic. His talent is slow but always riddled with injuries, and his tragic and heroic life has impressed many fans.

Dwight Howard, the 2004 No. 1 overall pick, was acquired by the Magic with the third No. 1 pick in franchise history. Having won the Defensive Player of the Year for three consecutive seasons, he was undoubtedly the toughest defensive player at the time. With his deterrent power under the basket, he undoubtedly became the league's No. 1 center at the time.

In less than 30 years of history, although the Magic team has never won the championship, it has also had its own glory - two in the division finals and two in the finals!

After the peak, it is inevitable to fall into a low ebb.

The Magic have been completely rebuilt since Howard left the Lakers.

In the 2013 draft, the Magic selected Victor Oladipo, an athletic two-way guard known as "Wade Jr."

In the end, he lived up to his position and was named to the All-Rookie First Team in his rookie season.

In the 2014 draft, the Magic picked up Aaron Gordon, a forward from the University of Arizona, with the fourth pick. Gordon is also in excellent physical condition, having represented the United States in the FIBA U19 Men's World Basketball Championships, helping the United States win gold and being named the tournament's MVP.

The Magic team still has a long way to go to rebuild.

Although Oladipo and Aaron Gordon are both promising rookies, it takes time for them to grow.

To the delight of Magic fans, there is now light at the end of the tunnel for the team's rebuild.

Although the Magic youth team won only three of the eight games in the first eight games, the progress of the lads is obvious to all.

And in the official team power rankings, the Magic team can also squeeze into the top 20, no longer among the bottom of the league.

But tonight's Magic fans couldn't be happier.

Because the opponent is the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Lakers were not taken seriously at first, and in the official battle power list of the new season, they are actually at the bottom!

However, they won all the way, slapped them in the face, and finally forced the league to put them in the tenth place.

However, after two consecutive defeats, they dropped to fifteenth place in the rankings!

Although the Lakers' games tonight are back-to-back, the Magic dare not underestimate it.

With two consecutive defeats, the players are under a lot of pressure and desperately need a win to regain praise from the outside world. At the very least, we must remove all the pressure of public opinion on our bodies.

Therefore, many Magic fans are not relaxed, looking forward to the playoffs in the new season, hoping that the team can improve the winning rate against those teams that are not strong teams, so that the chances of entering the playoffs are higher.

In the past, the top eight teams in the East did not necessarily have a win rate of more than half, which means that the Magic had a 3-5 record and could almost squeeze into the top eight.

However, this season, somehow, the Eastern team broke out en masse!

At present, the top eight winners in the Eastern Region have a win rate of more than 50%!

The Magic team's not-so-bad record was squeezed to the 12th place in the Eastern Conference!

How can such a Magic team win against a team with a top-four record in the West?

Hopefully, as the experts say, the Lakers' record is very watery.

Magic fans began to pray silently in their hearts.

When they saw the starting list on the big screen in the Amway Center Arena, and they didn't see Kobe Bryant, they were inexplicably surprised in their hearts.

Could it be that Kobe Bryant won't play again in this game?

Indeed, Kobe Bryant continued to rest in this game.

This is his second rotation since the start of the new season. He didn't play against the Knicks before, and tonight the Lakers played back-to-back games against the Magic, and he also sat on the sidelines to rest.

As soon as he came, he started playing health ball at the beginning of this season, and the number of times he fought on the field was much less.

Second, the Magic team is not a formidable opponent, and Bryant believes that his teammates will not lose.

Moreover, Kobe Bryant knows that Yi Feng, who is under such a lot of public opinion pressure, will definitely show something in this game. With him contributing, Kobe Bryant doesn't have to worry about the team losing.

Lakers starting lineup: Jordan Clarkson, Yi Feng, Ci Shiping, Julius Randle, Roy Hibbert

Magic starting lineup: Elfried Payton, Victor Oladipo, Evan Fournier, Tobias Harris, Dwyane Dedmon

On the Lakers' side, Ci Shiping started instead of Kobe, and there were no changes in other positions.

At the beginning of the game, the camera in the stadium was given to Yi Feng many times. In the media circle, a lot of information flows very quickly. What he said in an interview outside the stadium is now known to all reporters and media workers in the stadium.

They wanted to see if Yi Feng dared to say nonsense, and in the end he was just a clown who could brag.

Magic center Dwayne Dedmon won on a jump ball with Hibbert, earning the Magic the first offensive right of the game.

Dedmon was an undrafted pick in 2013, and compared to his teammate Oladipo's high-profile status, he can be said to be "from a humble background". His background also determines his positioning, that is, a coolie blue-collar worker, the kind who does all kinds of dirty work.

Although he has excellent athleticism, his technique is very rough, not to mention his lack of game experience, and his understanding of the game and tactics is not up to the NBA level.

It's not without reason why he became an undrafted pick.

Since entering the NBA, he has wandered the Warriors and the 76ers, and finally stabilized a little with the Magic. Perhaps this experience has allowed him to grow, and although his skills are still rough, he is also qualified to do dirty work in the NBA.

Elfried Payton dribbled across half court.

Payton, the No. 10 pick in 2014, is a tall point guard with athleticism and slender limbs, about the same height as Oladipo at the No. 2 position. His breakthrough and defense are eye-catching, and the backcourt formed with Oladipo is a key link in the Magic's defense.

Payton gave the ball to Oladipo because Oladipo was the Magic's No. 1 offensive option.

Oladipo is known as "Little Wade", and his technical movements and physical conditions are very similar to Wade, so he can be said to be a smaller Wade, or a poor version of Wade.

However, Yi Feng just played against Wade yesterday, how could he care about a "little Wade".

The entanglement of those reporters just now made Yi Feng's heart burn with anger.

Anger did not make him lose his mind, but instead put him into a state of intense concentration.

Oladipo, who has outstanding explosiveness, breaks through very quickly, and he is still in a stage where he eats with his body.

Usually he can also bully people with his physical fitness, but when he encounters Yi Feng, who has better physical fitness, this trick doesn't work.

Highly focused, Yi Feng easily kept up with Oladipo's breakthrough speed and made his first attack useless.

Yi Feng's weight has put him at a loss in defense, and Carmelo Anthony and Dwyane Wade have both used this point to break down his defense.

But that doesn't mean that someone heavier than him can eat him.

Oladipo's strength is good, but not so good that he can crush Yi Feng.

Offense and defense are out of position.

Easy Wind holds the ball, while Oladipo stretches his arm to interfere.

Wade was able to become the person with the most blocks under 193cm in NBA history, and his long arms helped him a lot. Known as "Little Wade", Oladipo's arm span is also very good, nearly 208CM.

But in front of Yi Feng, it can't constitute an advantage.

Whether it is height or arm span, Yi Feng crushes Oladipo, which puts Yi Feng in an advantageous position in the offense and can shoot easily.

However, he didn't intend to make a basket lightly in the first offense.

Now that he has made a bold statement, how can he not express it in the game!

A Buddha worship feint shook Oladipo's center of gravity, and Yi Feng broke through with his shoulders heavy.

Worshipping Buddha was completely mastered by Yi Feng in the summer after being traded to the Lakers, after hard practice. This is a technical move exclusive to the breakthrough master, and it is not easy for Yi Feng to master it with a height of more than two meters.

Fortunately, his excellent ball sense and solid foundation helped him master this technique.

Under the tutelage of the new coach, the Orlando youth team is very active defensively.

Immediately after Oladipo was breached, someone came to the defense.

But Yi Feng's determination was so firm that they could not stop it.

He first slapped the ball forward, then forced his body through the gap between Payton and Evan Fournier, held the ball with both hands, and made a jump to the basket.

Next, it's time to dunk.

He decided to use a dunk to echo the rhetoric he had just uttered!

At this time, whoever appears in front of him is bound to score this goal!

Seeing that this was not good, Tobias-Harris had already flashed to the side. He entered the league in 2011, and he is not a beast-type insider, and his mediocre athleticism dooms him to follow the technical stream. Yi Feng is so obviously tough, he won't stupidly rush up to block the gun's hole.

But Magic center Dedmon didn't back down.

His task on the field is not to score, but to do work that can't get data, such as card positions and top people. If he doesn't want to do that, then there's no place for him in the NBA.

Fortunately, he is in good health, he can do all these tasks and do it to the satisfaction of the manager. Otherwise, there is no starting position for him.

So Dedmund blocked it without giving in.

Yi Feng and Dedmon jumped at the same time, but Yi Feng suddenly gained a condescending air superiority!

A leap filled him with energy.

After the two fought in the air, Yi Feng was able to push Dedmon back by dozens of centimeters!

Then Dedmund began to fall, but Yi Feng remained in the air as if he were stepping on an invisible step.

Seeing this, Dedmon's eyes widened, and he roared, and his hands covered Yi Feng. Even if it's a foul, he's going to defend against this offense!

But how could Yi Feng let him succeed.

Grab the ball with your right hand and pull it back, avoiding Dedmon's interference, while her left hand is in front to block Dedmon's final slap with both hands.

At this time, Yi Feng finally couldn't bear the gravity and began to fall.

But he didn't panic, grabbed the ball with his right hand and dunked the ball into the basket with an indomitable momentum!

Bang -
