TNT live, with the trio of Barkley, O'Neal and Kenny Smith seated at the commentary stage.

"I heard that Coach Derek is going to put Amare on the bench today." Barkley put it bluntly: "I have to say it wasn't a very good decision. ”

"But it's Quincy on the bench," Barkley paused, "It's a big guy." ”

On the Magic's side of the front line are Tobias and Frye, neither of whom are the kind of confrontational power forwards, especially Frye, who is like a bamboo pole......

"The Knicks want to play inside."

This statement is a bit contradictory.

After removing Jr. Smalls, the Knicks' interior space is free, and with the opposite power forward being Frye, the melon's threat in the low post or near the mid-range will be greatly increased.

Actually set up tactics for melons?

The Barkley trio looked at each other and didn't continue the conversation.

Before, I had a falling out with the old Zen master, and they had "heard of it" about leaving the conference room in public...... In fact, there are absolutely no secrets in the NBA, it is just that they know late and early.

The big screen showed the starters on both sides.

On the Knicks' side, Xu Xuan, Shambaugh, Melon, Quincy, and Samuel are in the starting lineup

Xiao Si sat on the bench.

On the Magic side, Elfried Payton, Evan Fournier, Tobias Harris, Channing Fry, Nikola Vucevich.

Xu Xuan looked at the other party's rating, Payton Jr. was the No. 10 lottery pick this year, but he was immediately traded to the Magic after he was selected by the 76ers.

Rating: 440 (Threat Rating: Orange)

440 points?

It was the same as my provisional rating, and Xu Xuan couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

Evan Fournier, the No. 20 pick in 12 years, was quiet in the first two seasons, but this season he began to break out after Audi's injury, the last four games, three games scored 20+, and the other game also scored 19 points, the system gave him a rating of 580, Xu Xuan didn't know whether it was high or low......

Of course, the most fierce on the Magic side is naturally fourth-year Nikola Vucevic.

Rating: 700 (Threat Level: Cyan!) Extremely dangerous! ）

This guy has averaged two double-doubles per game for two seasons in a row!

Since the beginning of this season, although the Magic team has a 2-6 record, which is more embarrassing than the Knicks, the team's record obviously cannot affect Vucevic!

In these 8 games, Vucevic can average 18+12 All-Star interior level data per game!

He is also a very promising future star and cornerstone of the Magic team.

Vucevic jumped the ball to win against Samuel and the game began.

Payton Jr. looked very cautious when he came over with the ball to face Xu Xuan, obviously he knew Xu Xuan's strengths and weaknesses...... Of course, Xu Xuan also knew his depth...... The main thing is that you can't pay attention to this hairstyle, Xu Xuan is worried that he will throw his head out when he runs......

In the frontcourt, Payton signaled to pull away, Vucevic on the left side and Tobias blocked and dismantled, after the block was completed, Vucevic pulled to the middle to receive the ball, Samuel had no ability to defend it, but Vucevic himself did not dare to shoot, the ball was lifted for half a day to Harris in the bottom corner, and the three points missed.

Samuel accepted the rebound, Xu Xuan brought the ball over, and when the melon fell to the low position, he hoisted the ball into it without thinking about it.

I sat back with my big ass, and Tobias was instantly pushed aside, and I took the melon back and hit the board...... The ball goes straight into the Nets!

The Knicks hit the first offense!

"Beautiful!"

The audience at the scene gave applause, and when the melon retreated, he patted Xu Xuan's buttocks, and was captured by the camera again.

Magic bottom line ball, Payton Jr. brought it over, and the front court hesitated and wanted to surprise Xu Xuan!

The coach also told him before the game that the short man on the opposite side had a poor defense...... He thought he could try.

Xu Xuanguang looked at his hairstyle, and this ball was really broken in.

The Knicks' interior defense is also touching, only Quincy ran to this side, I turned his head after a look, Samuel was stuck in Vucevic, but people didn't mean to come to the penalty area at all, after receiving the pass on the right side, he raised his arm to pick up the ball and jump hook......

7-foot-4 reach!

Samuel can only "look at his hands and sigh", but he can't reach it.

The hook hand stunt is originally a great test of physical talent, as long as you grow tall and have long shoulders and add a little touch, this trick is almost impossible to prevent......

There were a lot of big centers in later generations, but Vucevic was definitely the one who played the most hook among them.

Can't prevent it and can't do it, Samuel sent the bottom ball, Xu Xuan slowly dribbled through the half, and continued to look for melons in the front court.

Tobias leaned in, but as soon as I sat down with my big ass, the place was instantly gone......

"This is a foul!"

Tobias had the heart to greet his teammates, but when he saw Frye, who was about to be squeezed out of the field, and Vucevic, who was struggling with Samuel, he suddenly felt at a loss......

The Knicks' interior defense is weak, and it seems that we are not strong either?

It is not unreasonable that Vucevic is always ranked in the middle and lower reaches of the top ten centers in later generations, his body is thin and his confrontation ability is too poor, and Rao is very good offense and rebounding cannot cover up this shortcoming.

It's a pity that I don't feel very good with this ball, and the ball slides out.

Quincy squeezed away several people in front of him and grabbed the offensive rebound and distributed the ball to the outside, Xu Xuan was amused when he saw it, and it was actually Frye standing in front of him...... This "green onion" Xu Xuan was not intimidated, and directly bypassed Frye's right side with a crossover, and made a mid-range jumper...... Or not.

Vucevic stretched his arm lightly to protect the rebound, the Magic team pulled away, Payton passed the ball to Fournier, Fournier was close to Shambaugh, looking for cover to get rid of, Quincy changed the defense, Frye in the bottom corner was empty, the ball was transferred to his hand, Frye's shot angle was too high for Shambaut to prevent...... Three points in!

5-2, the Magic actually took the lead.

Lao Yu roared on the sidelines for a while, and to be honest, Xu Xuan didn't even hear what he was talking about...... But it's always right to give the ball to the melon, and now that Xiao Si is down, no one can compete with the melon for the ball.

Melon asked for a cover at the three-point line this time, Samuel covered very poorly, of course, Vucevic couldn't prevent it, and it was Fournier who was in front of Melon...... Fournier's face was bitter, I have three points!

"Bang dang!"

No!

Vucevic collected the rebound again, switched the offense, and Fournier was empty in front of him, two points long!

"Huh!"

There it is again!

Magic opened with a 7-point lead!

"Beep!"

The old fish called a timeout.

For the young players of the Magic, they are not afraid of falling behind, but they are afraid of no rhythm, and Lao Yu's timeout is precisely to cut off their rhythm.
