The Aurado Magic have been back on the rise in the East since they drafted Howard with the No. 1 pick.

But just like O'Neal left that year, since Howard's transfer, the Magic team has begun to rebuild.

After drafting Russell with the fifth pick this summer and then signing center Dwyane Dedmon to a new contract, the Magic got off to a good start to the season.

The three-win, two-loss record saw the Magic squeeze into the top eight in the East, placing them in sixth place.

Russell's big mouth has been hyped by the media, and today's showdown, Zhang Zifeng and Russell's matchup is undoubtedly the focus of attention in this round of the game.

Before the game, Brown said to Zhang Zifeng. "Jack, you're going to work hard in this game, let that big mouth know how good you are here!"

Zhang Zifeng nodded, Russell dared to speak wildly, there was no reason for him not to fight.

It must have been a great experience to beat that idiot and look at his face after the game.

There were more fans at Wells Fargo Center Arena than there were games, although the media kept belittling Zhang Zifeng.

But the 76ers' efforts in every game of Zhang Zifeng are in their eyes, and most fans believe in Zhang Zifeng and believe that Zhang Zifeng will definitely lead the 76ers to rise again.

They wore Zhang Zifeng's No. 14 jersey and cheered him on the spot.

The match is about to start and it is TNT who broadcasts the game live today.

This game attracted a lot of attention because of Russell's big mouth, and sent three major commentators, the villain Barkley, the big mouth Reggie Miller and Jet Smith.

The three of them sat on the commentary podium on the technical side, and Smith was the first to ask, "Charles, what do you think of today's game?" ”

The butt decides the head, and Barkley, who likes to fight hand-to-hand on the inside, is not interested in either team. "It's supposed to be a big offensive game, but now the league game is getting worse and worse, there is no defense, no inside scramble, some are just floating outside shots. It's boring! ”

Miller, who is known for his crucial three-pointers, suddenly retorted, "Charles, I don't agree with you. Now the league is more conducive to offense, the pace of the game is faster, all kinds of wonderful offenses are continuous, and the game is getting better and better! ”

Barkley shrugged and said, "For me a race that doesn't have a big collision, it just doesn't get my adrenaline pumping. This made me not even have the slightest passion to explain. Hey man. I just placed a bet on a rugby game. Perhaps we should focus more on the thrill of rugby than on the girls. ”

Smith said to Miller speechlessly, "Okay, folks, let's ignore the opinion of this flying pig. Reggie, do you think that team has a better chance of winning tonight! ”

Miller: "I've watched a couple of games with the 76ers, and I found out that their rookie this year, Zhang Zifeng. Well, Chinese names are really mouthful. The rookie guard plays smartly and has a very good shot! I believe that as long as he is given time to grow, he will become a superstar! ”

"yes, I don't think so. Not to mention the poor performance of the Chinese during this time. With his size, I bet he's going to be blown up by Russell. Barkley said harshly.

When Smith heard this, he smiled wickedly and said, "Charles, dare you make a bet!" ”

Seeing Smith's sly smile, Barkley thought of the unbearable past, and his face sank and said, "Kenny, I'm telling you that I'm a good guy now, and I've quit gambling!" ”

Reggie Miller scoffed, "What's the matter, could it be that our Charles will be scared too!" ”

Although Barkley knew that this guy was agitating, he still couldn't help but shout, "You think I'm going to be scared, come on!" I bet he's going to be beaten up by Russell today! ”

Miller got the reply he wanted, and said with a smile: "Charles, what are you going to bet on this time?" ”

Barkley thought for a moment and said, "If I lose this time, I'll kiss Smith's ass, don't worry, I won't use a donkey to make up the numbers this time!" But if I win, what do I get? ”

When Miller heard this, he immediately turned his head to look at Smith.

Smith exclaimed, "What are you looking at me for?" ”

Miller smiled sinily and said, "You opened your mouth to bet on Charles!" ”

Smith said, "When did I say I was betting with him!" ”

Miller said, "I heard it with your own ears that you said you were going to bet, Kenny, you have to know that this is a national broadcast. You don't want to regret it in front of the American audience, do you? ”

Smith knew that this was for Miller to enter the pit, and asked Lao Tzu to kiss Buckla's fat ass, and the thought of Smith made his body chill.

His eyes rolled, Barkley, the fat man, was the most greedy for money, and Smith hurriedly said: "Charles wins, I'll give him $5,000!" ”

As soon as he heard that he would have money to win, Barkley immediately agreed, "Okay, just do as you say!" ”

Miller cracked his mouth wide and said, "Alright, audience, everybody's heard. Our lovely Sir Charles is betting again. Let's all witness it together and see if he is a shame today, or if he wants to kiss Smith's ass again! ”

Amid a burst of laughter from the fans, the game began.

The starting lineup for the Magic is: Point Guard: Elfried Payton, Point Guard: Russell, Small Forward: Evan Fournier, Power Forward: Tobias Harris, Center: Dwayne Dedmon.

The starting lineup of the 76ers is: Zhang Zifeng, Nick Stauskas, Jeremy Grant, Covington, Knoll.

In the opening jump shot, Dedmon pushed Knoll to pick the ball to Russell.

The Magic's offensive ability has improved a lot this season, but its defensive ability has decreased a lot.

Russell prefers offense to defense.

Before Russell's draft, many experts believed that he had the top three. Recognized by so many experts, it is natural that Russell has good strength.

In the front court, Russell held the ball and looked at Zhang Zifeng who was defending in front of him. "Hey, Chinese monkeys. Ready, I'm going to blow you up! ”

After speaking, Russell made a shooting feint in the face of Zhang Zifeng.

Zhang Zifeng knew that this guy was shooting well, so he didn't dare to let him shoot, so he hurriedly stepped forward and raised his right hand.

Zhang Zifeng stepped forward, Russell seized the opportunity to dribble cross, accelerated to the inside line, and cut in.

"Never let you go!"

When Zhang Zifeng saw it, he hurriedly retreated sideways and slid sideways to keep up.

But in the NBA, if the defensive guard doesn't keep up with the first step, it can basically let the opponent break through to the interior.

The rest depends on whether the teammate can successfully make up the defense, and at the same time pray that the opponent will not be able to shoot.

It's a pity that the previous Magic teammates ran to the sides in order to open up space for Russell's singles.

Knoll was a step slower to make up the defense, and Russell rushed inside without hesitation to come up with a slam dunk.

Landing on the ground, Russell arrogantly shouted at Zhang Zifeng, "Hey, Chinese monkey, where is your defense?" It's so easy to pass you, the 76ers are blind to pick you. You wait to be ridiculed by the national media after tonight! ”

Looking at Russell's arrogant face, Zhang Zifeng couldn't help but want to go up and punch him.

Zhang Zifeng glanced at him coldly and put aside a sentence. "You play like a, you just chatter."

In the commentary stage, Barkley also happily shouted at Smith, "Hey, did you see it, man!" That Chinese can't stop Russell. 5,000 dollars, are you ready. I can't wait to smell the banknotes. Ha ha! ”

"Charles, the game has just begun. Maybe Zhang Zifeng will turn defeat into victory in the next game! Smith stared at Zhang Zifeng and thought to himself, "Boy, you'd better give me a good fight." Otherwise, if Lao Tzu loses, as long as it is your game in the future, Lao Tzu will desperately hack you! ”
