The Magic defeated the Mavericks with difficulty, and Xing Jinwen felt Li Dong's popularity in the city of Orlando for the first time. www.biquge.info Every time he holds the ball, every time he breaks through, and every shot he makes, every shot he appears will cause a tsunami of cheers in the Amway Arena.

It is believed that Li Dong is the key to Orlando's revival and the cornerstone of the Magic's resurgence.

After the All-Star Weekend in February, it suddenly became very short-lived, especially when all eyes were on trades big and small.

The last two remaining games in February, one on the road against the Knicks and one at home against the 76ers.

Both of these teams are at the bottom of the East, and each of them has obvious weaknesses, and the Magic has both offense and defense, and the hard power is a cut behind.

In the end, the Magic won 108-95 against the Knicks, and after most of the season's hard work, Porzingis became the big man second only to Towns in the class of 2015.

In Orlando, the Magic won 130-116 against the 76ers, and the whole game was played without pressure, but Aaron Gordon showed offensive firepower from the outside, shooting 2 three-pointers in the second quarter.

He accompanied Xing Jinwen to report to the University of Florida. It is located in Gainesville, Alachua, Florida, and Gainesville was named one of the most livable cities by the National Geographic Adventure in 2007, making the University of Florida one of the most popular universities in the country.

"To be honest, I didn't even look around campus when I was in college."

The two of them walked hand in hand on the campus of the University of Florida, perhaps because of the fact that the school had just started, and there were many students coming and going in the green lanes of the campus, looking very busy.

Li Dong: "If you don't live outside the school, it's a little inconvenient to live with your classmates." ”

Xing Jinwen smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, it's safer to live on campus, and it's also conducive to getting along with your classmates." ”

"Xueba is just different." Li Dong said with a smile.

"Learn from your sister!" Xing Jinwen laughed and lightly hammered Li Dong.

"Don't worry, I will come here often to see you in the future, after all, it will only take more than an hour to drive over." Li Dong stretched out his other hand and touched Xing Jinwen's head, and said gently.

"En......" Xing Jinwen replied quietly, a weak mosquito.

The University of Florida College is very large, Li Dong and Xing Jinwen went shopping for a day, but they couldn't finish it, and the two of them returned to the hotel where they stayed in the evening, waiting for the official report the next day.

After dealing with his girlfriend's affairs, Li Dong returned to Orlando and restarted the next season.

At the beginning of March, the Mavericks were challenged by magic.

Congratulations, Li Dong once again won the award of the best rookie of the month in the East, he and Towns completely dominated the east and west, and there was no rookie who could be compared with the two of them in statistics, not to mention, the Magic's record is still so good, and Li Dong has more points.

ESPN experts point out that this year's rookie of the year should go to Li Dong, who is not inferior to the most famous superstars in history.

The Mavericks are in very good shape this year, especially on the Mavericks' bench, where JJ Barria and other men are convulsive, and the knife hand has improved the overall strength.

And the 38-year-old Nowitzki is in a stable state like a stone Buddha, not old at all.

For the Magic, this is definitely a strong opponent, so the whole team does not dare to slack off in the slightest, and the last time they were able to win the Mavericks was purely a fluke.

Li Dong came to the stadium early to do training, and at the same time, Oladipo and Hassan Whiteside were already in the stadium.

"It's going to be a German tank tonight, it looks a little difficult." Li Dong and Oladipo said casually.

"He's an amazing player, he's so tall, he's got that long arms, he's shooting so high, he's shooting so accurately. And no matter what he was violated, his hand shape never changed, and his shooting was historic. Oladipo said with a frown, and there was no absolute confidence in whether he could defend against Nowitzki.

"Joel, you practice your defense well, get Nowitzki, you're superb!" Oladipo turned his head and said to Enpeter, who was doing recovery training on the field.

Enpeter smiled wryly and said, "Then I have to have this opportunity to defend Dirk first!" ”

Li Dong said comfortingly: "Don't worry, you are so talented, as long as you train hard, recover your health, remember the team's tactical manual, and know how to appear in the right position on the court, you will definitely be able to become an excellent starter in the future, and the coach must believe in you." ”

Enpeter nodded, still a little unconfident, "Maybe!" ”

After the first three people practiced for a while, Jennings entered the arena in the fourth, followed by Coach Doug and a cadre of assistant coaches, nutritionists, strength and conditioning trainers, and so on.

At night, the American Airlines Center arena comes alive.

Before the game, Li Dong said hello to Powell, and the entire Mavericks team, he and Powell were a little familiar because of the rookie game, and the rest of the gangsters, even like Nowitzki, he actually didn't have much intersection.

"Zaza Pachuria, Dirk Nowitzki, Chandler Parsons, Wesley Matthews, Deron Williams." After walking to the court, Li Dong glanced at the starting lineup of the Mavericks, which was exactly what Skyles predicted before the game, of course, in the end, this has been the starting lineup that the Mavericks have been using for several consecutive games recently, and it is not a big deal to be able to guess.

"Aaron is afraid of Alexander today." Li Dong secretly glanced at Aaron Gordon, who was like a great enemy, this guy's face was tense at the moment, obviously Skyles had said a lot of things to him before the game.

In the opening jump ball, Zaza Pachulia and Vucevic stood in the center circle.

"Drink!"

After a whistle, the two men jumped almost at the same time.

Vucevic pushed Pachulia a little bit and used his fingertips to get the first touch of the basketball, right into the hands of point guard Jennings.

The whole Magic team turned around, jogged across the half-court, and pressed steadily. The whole stadium suddenly resounded with the uniform cheering of "defense, defense".

Li Dong turned his back, and in the position of the horn area, his back was stuck in the main defender of his Deron Williams.

The Mavericks' defense is interesting, obviously there is an outside gate like Wesley Matthews, but it is the 32-year-old Deron Williams who is responsible for the outside defense.

And amazingly, Williams' defense is still terrible, and few can please him in front of him.

Jennings immediately hoisted the ball to Li Dong, and after Li Dong caught the basketball with one hand, the cheers at the scene became even more enthusiastic.

"Bang!"

Li Dong was unceremonious, and with a slap on his back, he hit Williams on the chest.

There was an amazing rebound from the back, and the old monster seemed to have taken root when it landed, and Li Dong hit Williams like he was hitting a big tree, but he didn't move at all.

"Bang!"

Li Dong hit it again in disbelief, and old Williams stretched out a hand to sneak attack, and the basketball was almost missed by his long arm.

The waist was stuck in the ground, and Li Dong felt that after hitting it twice, he was a little embarrassed.

Li Dong didn't dare to underestimate these old guys anymore, stepped on the floor on his toes and found a slight point of force, controlled the basketball, staggered with a chic sliding step, and suddenly turned around and broke through.

Williams, who was defending behind him, flashed a hint of appreciation in his eyes, but his movements were not slow at all, and he followed the movement quickly with small steps.

Li Dong didn't break through again, his body suddenly froze, his left hand made a gesture of closing with his right hand, as if he was about to shoot, but when he was about to close it, a big step to the right opened up space with Williams.

With a flick of your hand, you can easily dial it out.

The arc is wonderful, and it is accurate into the frame!

At this time, Williams came in a hurry, and when he reached out to cover Li Dong's sight again, it was too late.

The audience immediately applauded, Li Dong's shooting posture was very elegant, and like his dunk, it was very ornamental.

"Carmelo Anthony?" Williams' eyes narrowed slightly, and the retreat and shooting action after Li Dong's worship just now was clearly Anthony's specialty.

Unbeknownst to Li Dong, Williams was judging his technical moves, he quickly retreated into the half, and as soon as his arms were spread, he was ready to defend well.

As soon as he turned his head, Williams found Nowitzki at 45 degrees with a long pass.

Nowitzki has a back to dribble, a foot on the same side as the center foot, and the body twists back to make a shooting action, and it looks like the upper body has been pushed by someone, and the amplitude of the back is very large.

Aaron Gordon wasn't pushed open, gritting his teeth and struggling to block it.

The terrifying arc behind the ball spun in the air as if it had been a few seconds before diving headlong into the net and swinging in a circle of white nets......
