The Magic team is indeed a very different existence in the league, and the alternative is not this team, but the management of this team.

It seems that they have never regarded winning the championship as a team goal, focusing on accompanying the league and cultivating superstars, especially players in the center position, to contribute to the Lakers and Rockets.

Their draft vision has always been very good, but in the handling of their relationship with stars, it is really worrying.

O'Neal, a player who showed the most top talent as soon as he entered the league, actually gave a small contract when he renewed his contract, trying to let O'Neal be Penny Hardaway's younger brother, and then added a big contract nonsensically, but O'Neal, who felt that he had been insulted, threw himself into the arms of the Lakers without looking back.

This can also be seen from the team's retired jerseys, although the Magic team has had many superstars, but so far, no star has retired their jerseys here, and the only retired jersey number is No. 6, which belongs to the fans, which means that the fans are the sixth person on the team and belong to part of the team.

After Howard's departure, the Magic, who were in a period of rebuilding chaos, didn't have a lot of attendance, but tonight was obviously an exception.

The Amway Center, home of the Orlando Magic, was already packed, and tickets even tripled on the black market tonight, a level of crazy profiteering that is usually only seen in the Grand Finals.

No way, tickets for this game are so sought-after!

The Mavericks and the Magic in the East only play two games a year, at least for the last few years. The strength shown by the Mavericks this season is still very likely to reach the Finals after Nowitzki's comeback, and the Magic team has not even touched the threshold of the playoffs, let alone the Finals.

If you want to watch the league's newly rising demon and magic team play in Orlando, it's a once-a-year opportunity! The other time the two teams meet, it must be at the Mavericks' home court.

And what made the ticket price of this game soar all the way was naturally the death buckle that Chen Zhi had in the game against the Grizzlies!

The death buckle that really happened to the center, after Carter, Chen Zhi was the first to be staged in front of the center!

This is much rarer than a 50+ or even 60+ high score!

What makes fans look forward to it even more is that the Magic team has a very violent dunk Aaron Gordon, who went to the scene to watch the game tonight, and he definitely came to earn it, and the dunk duel was enjoyable!

After Oladipo was traded by the team to the Thunder, French guard Evan Fournier became the team's signature player, or the Thunder chose to trade Oladipo, the main reason is to give Fournier a position and contract space.

Compared to Oladipo, the French guard swingman is more efficient, shooting nearly four three-point shots, which is much more reliable than Oladipo's three-point ability.

Fournier has a very delicate face, and among NBA players, he has a rather unique French literary style, and the Beckham-style pigtails tied at the back of his head add a bit of charm to him.

Listening to the cheers of the fans on the sidelines, Fournier's handsome face from the players' tunnel showed a smile, although the Magic team is a weak team, but it is still the home team of Orlando fans, the shouts on the sidelines are so pleasant, and the DJ's introduction is also full of passion.

However, the cheers of the fans on the sidelines soon made Fournier a little sluggish, and the away players were coming out of the away team's aisle, and there were still a lot of cheers in the stadium. And that decibel is not much lower than before.

Chen Zhi appeared on the sidelines, a little surprised by the cheers of the Magic fans, but quickly waved his hand to the sidelines, just like at the American Airlines Center Arena, the home of the Mavericks.

The cheers received by the away team's players on the field are close to the home team, which is really rare in a country where team fans dominate the mainstream, and it is good that the fans do not boo.

It shows that after the death buckle was staged, Chen Zhi's popularity in the NBA suddenly rose.

Thinking that in the ball soul system, after strengthening his height, he would soon have exceeded one million soul power again, and Chen Zhi was not so surprised by his popularity.

The Mavericks' Nowitzki and Deron have not recovered from injuries, and Barria has been injured unexpectedly in training, and the starting lineup is still the No. 4 position on the top of the electric fan.

The Magic's starters are Elfred Payton, Fournier, small forward Jeff Green, power forward Ibaka, and center Vucevic.

Aaron Gordon wasn't in the starting lineup, and the Magic's crowded interior lineup pushed him to the bench.

Both starters quickly settled into their respective halves, with Bogut and Magic center Vucevic jumping into the centre circle.

The Magic team, which has produced O'Neal and Howard, has always been a team that values centers, and has done a good job in selecting and developing center players.

After the departure of Howard from the Lakers, the Magic quickly cultivated Vucevic as the team's interior core, and Oladipo on the outside was the team's interior and exterior core in the past few years. And before Fournier was corrected this season, Vucevic was the Magic's leading scorer.

However, Vucevic's presence in the NBA has been very weak, the player from Montenegro himself is low-key, and the Magic, who are already in a small-ball market, is a bad team, and it is difficult to get enough media attention.

Even in the past few years, Vucevic has produced two double-doubles in a row, even close to the average of 20+10 per game, there is still not much presence.

Fans who have not watched his games, after seeing the report card handed over by Vucevic, it is easy to give him the name of a brush, but it is obvious that even if you want to brush up an average of close to 20+10 data per game, it also needs good strength, after all, this is in the NBA!

Both sides jumped the ball, and Vucevic flicked his long arm into the air to win the ball for the Magic.

The basketball was soon passed to Elfried Payton, known as Payton Jr.

Just as Thomas Jr. has nothing to do with the smiling assassin Isaiah Thomas, so does the Magic Peyton Jr. and the famous glove Gary Payton.

Gary Payton, a Seattle SuperSonic, is known for his defense and trash talk, nine in a row, and the only player in history to get a Dpoy as a point guard, which shows how good his defense is, but his son is often called Gary Payton II.

Calling the Magic player Payton Jr. is entirely because of his father, who is a Canadian football legend, also called Elfried Payton!

Chen Zhi looked at Little Peyton who was dribbling towards him, and couldn't help but rush over 10,000 alpacas in his heart, and these 10,000 alpacas shouted grass and mud horses at the same time!

The hairstyle on Peyton's head was like a chicken's nest, and it seemed to have a mop cloth on his head that had been used for countless years, and while he dribbled forward, the tip of the hairstyle fanned up and down like a fan, which was really uncomplaining.

Maybe Payton Jr. just wants to carry such a fan with him, and when he plays hot on the court, he can feel the breeze when he clicks his head twice.

After the older generation of washing, cutting and blowing artist Bynum retired to the rivers and lakes, Peyton Jr. was simply a lonely and defeated posture in the washing, cutting and blowing world!

Payton Jr. came to the front court with the ball, saw Chen Zhi defending himself, and directly passed the ball in his hand, Chen Zhi's defense, after the explosive growth of height, has made the league team pay attention to it thoroughly, avoiding Chen Zhi has been the choice of many teams, especially those teams who are not so confident in the team's point guard.

Even if the Magic hired Coach Vogel, who had previously coached the Pacers well this year, the team still hasn't fully integrated, and it will take time for them to do so.

After a couple of pointless passes from the outside, the basketball was handed to a low-post Vucevic who turned and hit a shot with his back to Bogut.

As a white man, Vucevic and Gasol Jr. are somewhat similar on the offensive end, both have a good mid-range shooting, and the style of play is soft, but they feel good, and they have all kinds of small skills, but they are not superb.

Perhaps this is also the reason why Vucevic has always had no presence in the league's center, he is not a core player of the team, at most he can be a second leader of the team, and it is his task to be able to have a consistent statistical contribution.

The Mavericks quickly launched a counterattack. The player sent by the Magic team to defend Chen Zhi is Payton Jr., probably the guy with the name Payton is very good at defense, and Payton Jr. is no exception, especially the steals are very good, he can contribute 1.3 steals per game, and he is not out of position, Coach Vogel has more trust in his defense.

It's a pity that in the face of Chen Dao, Payton Jr. can't take any advantage on the defensive end.

Chen Zhi held the ball twice in a row, Payton Jr. put on a defensive posture, sat and adjusted very freely, and was not fooled, and did not stare at Chen Zhi's eyes, from time to time, true and false, he reached out to break the ball, and the mop cloth-like hairstyle on his head flew up and down.

Just when Payton Jr. was concentrating on dealing with Chen's possible breakthrough, he suddenly found that the opponent in front of him directly collected the ball with both hands and rose up in front of him!

Payton Jr. was shocked when he saw this, but he didn't expect Chen Zhi to shoot directly outside the three-point line.

The team profile clearly shows that this guy plays very reasonably, breaking through the ball is the most commonly used offensive method, and rarely shoots against defenders, and this is the first offensive round of the Mavericks, and he actually shot in front of him!

Payton Jr. immediately pounced to interfere, but there was room for the jump to prevent a three-point foul from rushing too hard.

However, after he jumped, he found that there was nothing unreasonable for this guy to choose to pull in front of him, because even if he had the right to jump, he would never interfere with the opponent's shot.

I had just jumped, and before I could straighten my arms, my opponent had already made a three-point shot! Chen Zhi in front of him not only jumped higher than himself, but also bounced much faster than himself, and reached the highest point of his shot in front of him in an instant.

Chen Zhi's sudden three-point shooting was basically undisturbed, and he was not surprised to enter the basket!

With the continuous growth of height and the high-level bouncing enhancement, Chen Zhi found that Yan Tou, which was extremely difficult for him in the past, is now a breeze, as long as the opponent is not careful, after he pulls it up with his super bouncing ability, it is extremely difficult to interfere.

Height reduces his three-point shooting percentage, but it also brings another advantage to his offensive end, especially with the high-level bounce bonus, as his height predictably continues to improve, his dry pull will sooner or later shock the league!

After scoring a goal against each other, the two teams entered into a continuous attack and defense.

Even though Fournier has become the Magic's leading scorer this season, the Magic are still in a chaotic transition.

The team has taken extremely average shots, with even Fournier taking the most shots at around 13, which is beyond the concept of team basketball, and it's clear that the Magic haven't finalized who is the cornerstone of this team to rely on.

As a white French player, Fournier has the ability to run without the ball and superb shooting skills, but the offensive ability with the ball is not enough to become a stable point of attack for the team under the intensity of the NBA.

If Oladipo, who was waived by the Magic, plays at star level after switching to another team, I don't know if the Magic should collectively take the blame and resign.

Electric fans are excited about this game against the Magic, who played for Florida alligators in college, only about an hour's drive from Orlando, and the Magic are in a sense the home team of the Florida students.

Finney Smith has been to the Magic's home court several times during his college years, and now walking into the Amway Center as a professional against the Magic is a very unique experience for Finney Smith, and his performance today is particularly positive.

After providing cover for Matthews on the wing, the electric fan took advantage of Ibaka's hesitation to help Fournier switch guards and quickly started to cut to the basket.

However, the ball in Chen's hand had already been passed to Matthews before. Matthews received a pass from Chen Zhi and had an open opportunity to shoot, seeing that Fournier had already pounced, he hesitated and did not choose to shoot himself, and instead hit the ball into the ground and passed it to the electric fan.

The electric fan caught the ball and jumped up one step and immediately smashed the ball in his hand to the basket.

However, when Finney Smith dunked the basket, the basketball in his hand was gone.

After landing on the ground, the electric fan found out that it was Ibaka who was chasing after him!

As Ibaka pursues his role on the offensive end, his performance on the defensive end has indeed declined a lot, but he is still a good defender and it will not be easy to dunk in front of him.

The Magic team grabbed the basketball and immediately turned to offense, but the Mavericks' retreat was very timely, and Payton Jr. did not find a fast break opportunity and could only fall into a positional battle.

The Magic aren't a good defensive team, but their biggest problem is not on the defensive end, but on the offensive end, and their offense is at the bottom of the league compared to the defense that is in the middle and bottom of the league.

The Magic tried to create shooting opportunities for Fournier by covering up, but the Mavericks' reaction on the defensive end managed to dismantle the Magic's tactics.

The tactical run didn't get a chance, and the Magic immediately fell into a single, Ibaka fell low against the back of the electric fan, shouted at Payton Jr. for the ball, and left the Thunder's Ibaka, who likes to show off his offensive skills in the low post to get a big contract in a contract year.

Singles the electric fan, which is one size smaller than him, Ibaka is full of confidence, and after receiving the ball, he turns back and opens his hand to shoot directly.

However, Chen Zhi, who rushed out of the oblique stab, slapped the ball he had already shot from mid-air and flew directly to the fan stands in the distance, this risk was bloody!

Finney Smith looked at the surprised Ibaka and smiled: Please try Dallas hot pot too!
