In this world, in the sports industry, reversals and upsets are always the most eye-catching thing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The Magic's 140-139 home win over the much-anticipated Thunder stunned pundits and fans alike, and it was like someone with a millet plus rifle to defeat someone else's airplane cannon. Of course, the theoretical impossibility will inevitably lead to a practical rational analysis, such as the Thunder's last game against the Spurs, and the physical exhaustion at the last moment.

……

With 13.5 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Durant hit a three-pointer to tie the score at 114:114. The Magic were unwilling to be overturned, and Oladipo also hit a three-pointer with 3.9 seconds left in the quarter to take the lead again.

But the game didn't end there, and Westbrook didn't agree. They didn't have a timeout, they could only attack, and just past the three-point line, Westbrook made a hasty shot and hit a long-range three-pointer to put the two sides at 117-117 going into overtime.

The Magic were unable to hold on to an 18-point advantage at one point. When it comes to overtime, the Thunder won't be polite anymore. Westbrook hit two shots in a row and hit a 7-2 attack.

The rest of the Thunder failed to score and failed to score for the next 3 minutes. The Magic closed the gap to 1 point and had multiple chances to overtake. With 7.8 seconds left in the first overtime, Westbrook hit another shot to give the Thunder a 126-123 lead. The Magic still didn't give up, and Li Dong hit a three-pointer in the bottom corner against Roberson's defense, and the two sides went into overtime at 126-126.

Westbrook single-handedly scored all nine points of the Thunder in the first overtime. He continued to score in the second overtime, and with 3:04 left in the game, he hit a mid-range shot to give the Thunder a 132-127 lead. Although the Magic closed the gap to 2 points again, the Thunder didn't give them a chance this time. Westbrook misses a layup, but grabs an offensive rebound of his own. After Adams hit two free throws, the Thunder took a 138-134 lead with 9.3 seconds left in the game.

Both sides played foul tactics, and Westbrook missed a free throw to give the Magic another chance. Oladipo and Li Dong hit from beyond the three-point line, and the Magic held the home court in a thrilling way.

The official post-production staff of the NBA worked overtime to edit out the highlights of the game and broadcast it for fans who only watched the highlights for 5 to 10 minutes.

It is worth mentioning that among the top ten official balls that day, Li Dong entered the country three times.

In the eighth position, Westbrook shot a feint and played the No. 5 eye show...... In the third ball, Li Dong used a Tim Hardaway-style crotch crossover step to shake off Westbrook and complete the belly dunk with both legs bent at the knees! And in the first place was a three-pointer hit by Li Dong in the bottom corner, and the Magic officially won the game by dragging the game into the second overtime with this three-pointer.

After this coming, Li Dong immediately became famous, and American fans were surprised to see that the yellow people who were not physically fit in the original impression were appearing one after another in the NBA, which is full of blacks, and it seems that it is not as weak as imagined. And the Chinese fans chanted "Central Plains Little Overlord" appeared, they watched Li Dong's wonderful passing and dunk over and over again, tears in their eyes, damn, how long did you wait to wait for such an excellent outside line!

With 20 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, Li Dong's debut answer sheet was not amazing, but there were enough shining points.

And after the game, the scene of Li Dong and Westbrook hugging and talking to each other was talked about by the majority of fans, and it felt as if Li Dong was very happy in the NBA.

The best player of the game was awarded to Oladipo, who had 5 turnovers, but got a luxury triple-double of 21 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, which can be regarded as a boost for the Orlando people.

A reporter from the Orlando Sentinel wrote: "The Magic played a different spirit, after the team picked the great potential Li Dong in the summer, the team has no obvious shortcomings, the starting five have their own duties, the whole team has shown good offensive and defensive ability in front of the strong Oklahoma City people, we are a balanced team, the new season is worth looking forward to......"

This made Li Dong, who saw the newspaper at breakfast in the breakfast room of the apartment the next day, very ashamed.

"This dude is just smashed." Li Dong complained in his heart, what does magic have no obvious shortcomings? The problem of rebounding alone is enough to coach Skiles a headache, the combination of Vucevic + Harris can still pick up two boards in the face of the Thunder inside, if you face twin towers like the Clippers, or top interior lines like Cousins and Howard, how to defend and how to shoot boards?

Skiles didn't even think about it himself, and only hoped that Hannigan could give a little bit of strength and change the status quo of the team through a trade or signing.

However, for the outside line of the team's current situation, Skiers is 10,000 very satisfied, Oladipoga, Li Dong and Fornier's combination looked full of firepower in the first game, and they were able to pass exquisite good balls to each other, and they combined to contribute 55 points, 21 rebounds and 18 assists, the first two are fortunately only about half of the team, and the last assist is a bit outrageous, Oladipo 10 times, Li Dong 5 times, Fournier 4 times......

When Skiers saw the stats after the game, he was shocked and realized that he had made a remarkable combination.

……

A month of adaptation allowed Li Dong to gradually begin to adapt to the NBA.

Adapt to the training here, to the life and the games here, to get used to the occasional innocuous little joke between the players.

After playing the opening game, he thought he could, but he didn't expect to encounter the most famous back-to-back games in the NBA!

Away game against Pelicans on the 4th, away game against Rockets on the 5th!

Back-to-back is another name for continuous combat.

NBA games, which are basically held at night, can drive fans to watch the game after dinner. Therefore, for the players, every night to fight for two and a half hours, take a shower, deal with the media and finally return to the hotel, it is basically two or three o'clock in the morning, and after returning to the hotel, the hungry players will always eat food to fill the basically empty stomach, and the moment they really sleep in bed and close their eyes, it is a matter of four or five o'clock.

Back-to-back away games meant players were on their way to another city in less than 24 hours, and after the devastation and torment of the previous day's journey, the form of the second game was predictable.

The team that was able to maintain a stable performance in the second away game not only proved that the players were very competitive and good at adjusting, but also that the cohesion, perseverance and physical fitness of the team were fully recognized.

How to better distribute physical strength, how to quickly enter a state of rest after the game is what every professional player needs to learn, it can be said that back-to-back away games are a good medicine for rookies to mature quickly.

Against the Pelicans, Li Dong played 22 minutes and scored 11 points in a decent manner.

He was tepid, but the overall 2015 rookie debut was a surprise to the outside world.

In the West, the champion Towns scored 14 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in the first game, although he got a double-double in his debut, the real amazing thing about the Timberwolves was the Spanish "golden boy" Ricky Rubio, who had a big double-double of 28 points and 14 assists throughout the game, leading the Timberwolves to victory over the Lakers. However, D'Angelo Russell, the leader of the Los Angeles Lakers, only got 4 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, and also paid 5 turnovers and 5 fouls, which makes people wonder why the Lakers chose him in the first place.

In the East, Jahill Okafor debuted, and although he failed to lead the 76ers to victory, he got a quasi-double-double of 26 points and 8 rebounds, causing a sensation across the league.

In the midst of all this, Li Dong followed the team to participate in the second game of back-to-back!

On an evening when the golden sun was scattered across the ground, the team's plane landed on the runway of Houston International Airport.

At this moment, the airport is empty, sparsely populated, and passengers who don't talk much are in a hurry. But when a large number of two-meter-tall men appeared in the terminal building, it still attracted a lot of attention, and people only observed it slightly, and they knew that this was a very professional team, and they generally carried travel bags and wore extremely sports.

The Magic players didn't have to wait long before the officially arranged team bus picked everyone up and rushed directly to the Toyota Center Arena.

This is Li Dong's first time in Texas' largest city, and he looks out the window to enjoy the roadside scenery like a curious baby.

Everyone in the team's bus is very quiet, in addition to the players, there are also coaches, staff and team reporters, and occasionally there are coaches talking about tactics in their ears, but they are also very low, for fear of noisy old players who use every moment of time to rest.

After driving for a while, everyone stepped off the bus, and near the Toyota Center Arena at night, the lights had been turned on, it was more like a huge shopping mall, and the noisy voices could be heard in the distance.

In the spotlight, the Magic turned down the enthusiastic interviews of reporters and walked into the arena escorted by two rows of security guards.

Time is of the essence, and the good news is that the Pacers are also playing back-to-back.

"In the last game, the Oklahomians suffered a defeat in Houston." When tidying up clothes in the locker room before the game, Watson and Li Dong next to him chatted.

"It's normal that you can't beat the Rockets, after all, Dwight [Howard's] defensive ability is too strong." Vucevic on the other side analyzed it carefully, obviously every player on the team knew it well.

Payton smiled approvingly: "Kevin and Russell only scored three points in the third quarter, which was the main reason why they lost their double-digit advantage, and missed consecutive three-pointers in the final minute to lose their chances. ”

Li Dong's eyes flashed with light, all thoughts.

"Lee, I'll give you something." After Watson was fully dressed, he glanced at Li Dong's body, suddenly showed a smile, and then took out something from the closet.

He opened his huge palm, and in the palm of his hand was a blue rubber wristband.

"Wow, energy balance bracelets, rubber punk wristbands!" Oladipo on the side showed an exaggerated expression.

Li Dong staggered, his face was a little hot, and he felt a little embarrassed, and then he only hesitated for a second, and then generously accepted Nocioni's gift, showing a grateful smile, "It's beautiful, I like it very much." ”

"Blue is both the main colour of our team and the embodiment of your ambition. You know, no matter how high you jump, it's not as strong as your heart. Watson's usual grinning was gone, and Li Dong said sincerely.

Li Dong also looked solemn, then unpacked it and put the blue wristband on his left wrist.

He was very touched in his heart, and for the first time, he realized that the NBA's major leagues are not only cruel competitive games, but also precious warm friendships...... (To be continued.) )
