After two days of thorough preparation, the Spurs team stepped on the plane to Orlando.

Compared to the Spurs, the Magic's current record is not ideal, the winning rate is around 50%, but the Magic have a strong defensive ability, the last five games, the Magic have suppressed the opponent's score within 90 points in four games, although the defense is very strong, but the biggest reason for their loss is the lack of overall offensive ability.

If it weren't for the Spurs and thunder water, this game would basically not be very popular with fans, after all, small balls are popular in the league now, everyone likes to watch the offensive game, and not many people want to see two teams play a defensive battle.

After arriving in Orlando, as soon as I got off the plane, there were many Chinese fans who came to pick up the plane, and they were very excited after seeing Lei Shui, holding up the poster of Lei Shui and cheering the name of Lei Shui.

Although Lei Shui has also met small groups of Chinese people in other places, but Orlando this time is the largest one, there are hundreds of people, looking at the friendly Chinese faces, Lei Shui is very happy, high-five them along the road, and try to meet their requirements for photos and autographs.

When Lei Shui stepped on the bus, the entire Spurs team was already seated, and Old Man Bobo said: "I have come to Orlando so many times, but I have not found so many Chinese here. ”

The bus driver said: "There were no Chinese players in your team before, the climate here is comfortable, the tax is low, and there are many immigrants here in recent years, but Chinese account for a large proportion."

Lei Shui heard the driver say this, his heart moved, found a position close to the driver to sit down, and the driver chatted about the local situation, the driver was very enthusiastic, told Lei Shui Orlando The geographical location of this place is very good, although close to the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, there are few hurricanes, the average temperature throughout the year is above 20 degrees, and most of the weather is mainly sunny, the climate is pleasant and very suitable for living, the most important thing is that Orlando was affected by the subprime mortgage crisis, housing prices have plummeted, and some have fallen below the cost price, This is also the reason why it is the preferred place for many immigrants...

After listening to the driver's introduction, Lei Shui nodded: "Well, it's really a good place, it's good to live here!" ”

The driver struck while the iron was hot: "Since you think so, why don't you buy a house here, and bring your family on vacation in the offseason, what a wonderful thing!" ”

"Good proposal, do you have any suggestions?" Lei Shui nodded.

The driver immediately took out a business card in his jacket pocket and handed it to Lei Shui and said excitedly: "This is the business card of my wife Katie, she is a very, very good real estate salesperson, and she guarantees that you will get the best value for every penny..."

"I said Fred, I advise you to drive well, if every player in this car has an accident, you can't afford to sell a few houses!" The co-pilot's attendants saw that the driver was too focused on chatting with Lei Shui, and was a little worried about driving safety.

"Okay, okay." The driver nodded, and added to Lei Shui: "You can call my wife at any time, 24 hours a day!" After saying that, he hurriedly focused on driving.

At this time, Lei Shui turned his head, and suddenly found that the old man Bobo was looking at him with strange eyes, and Lei Shui was a little hairy: "What's wrong?" ”

Old man Bobo asked, "Do you want to buy a house in Orlando?" ”

Lei Shui nodded: "Yes, I see that the environment here is so good..."

"Is it simply because the environment is good? Or is there something else? Old man Bobo asked.

As soon as Lei Shui heard this, he immediately reacted to the meaning of the old man Bobo, NBA players generally buy real estate in the city where the team is located, and now he and the Spurs only have a one-year contract, and there is no house in San Antonio, Lei Shui is suddenly going to buy a house in Orlando, the old man Bobo is doubting whether the magic is secretly digging his own corner, Lei Shui hurriedly explained: "There is absolutely no other reason, I just see that this place is good, the house price is not high, I want to buy a house, let my parents come over for the winter, It's too cold in winter at my house..."After Lei Shui said this, Old Man Bobo was relieved.

In the evening, the Spurs came to Amway Arena, the home of the Magic, to challenge the Magic team.

The current head coach of the Magic team is Frank Vogel, who previously coached the Pacers, and just came to the Magic this year, and his biggest characteristic is to focus on defense, which is probably the reason why the current Magic team is stronger in defense than in offense.

Magic's starting lineup: center Biyombo, power forward Ibaka, small forward Gordon, point guard Fournier, point guard Augustin.

Spurs starters: center Gasol, power forward Ade, small forward Leonard, point guard Green, point guard Parker.

At the beginning of the game, Biyombo and Gasol jumped the ball, although Biyombo was shorter than Gasol in height, but better than Yongbo's bounce, and the arm span was terrifying, it is said that he was nearly 30 cm longer than his height, which was even more terrifying than Leonard's proportions, standing up straight, and both hands could touch his knees.

A whistle blew, the ball was tossed high, and Biyombo used his physical gifts to get the ball first for the Magic.

The game turned out as expected, both sides paid great attention to defense, the Magic inside had Ibaka and Biyombo two arm stretch maniacs to guard, the Spurs wanted to shoot on the inside, it was very difficult, but the two did not have any inside offensive skills, and the Spurs did not have to pay a lot of defensive energy on the inside, mainly to prevent the outside offense.

After 2 minutes of play, the score was still 0-0, Ibaka really couldn't watch it, so he simply didn't squeeze under the basket, ran to the middle distance and hit the shot, and Ade immediately returned the shot, and the two big forward players began to shoot each other.

Halfway through the first quarter, the two teams each scored 8 points and tied the game, not to mention the fans, even the old man Bobo was about to fall asleep watching it.

Looking at the listless game, the old man Bobo waved his hand to Lei Shui: "Lei, you go up to refresh yourself." ”

When Lei Shui played, there was a small wave of cheers from the audience, Lei Shui looked, there was a place where a lot of Chinese gathered, no need to ask them to come specifically for Lei Shui, Lei Shui also waved to them to express his gratitude.

Lei Shui is on Fournier, Magic has long formulated defensive tactics for Lei Shui, although Fournier's personal defensive ability is average, but his height and agility are good, mainly to prevent sudden throws, because Magic's inner agility is very good, and there is a good ability to assist and supplement defense, so as soon as Lei Shui breaks through, he will encounter an iron bucket formation, and will be besieged by two or three people, forcing Lei Shui to pass.

The Magic's defensive characteristics are that the two interior lines can be crossed to change defenses, the defense is flexible and flexible, when Ade and Gasol receive a pass, there will always be a defender in front of them in time, and when passing to the three-point line, Leonard has Gordon to follow the defense, Parker's three-point is not a strong point, so Thunder Water's play did not have the expected effect, but the Magic took the opportunity to score two goals in a row to lead by 4 points.

Seeing this, the old man Bobo hurriedly asked for a timeout.
