The home mascot, Kung Fu Panda, is performing kung fu. He was played by a man wearing the Magic No. 15 jersey (Tekoglu's back number), and Kung Fu Panda took his opponent to the ground...... Of course, this is a performance surname, but it is enough to show people's hatred of Tekoglu.

The match between the two sides is about to begin.

Barkley laughed: "The Magic are going to become the New York Knicks of the new era." If it weren't for Jordan, the Knicks would probably have won several NBA championships. Now that the Bobcats have Chuck and Durant on board, it's impossible for the Magic to beat the Bobcats. ”

"You say it's because the Bobcats have Durant on board? Why not Billups, Camby, Wallace? Kenny Smith asked.

"Durant, this kid is going to be a character in the future, his talent is so good, it's easy to get a high score, and it's hard for him to play next to Hayes. Look, within three years, he will definitely become a first-line star in the league. Barkley said.

Smith laughed and said, "Charles, have you forgotten something, didn't you still say that Durant's style of play was monotonous and difficult to be atmospheric last season?" ”

"He's hard to be in the Trail Blazers. But when it comes to the Bobcats, Chuck is there, he can get a chance even if he plays monotonously, and many of Chuck's assists are given to Durant, and the two of them already have a tacit understanding. Of course, much of this tacit understanding is due to Chuck. Barkley laughed. America's number one "Haimi" praised Hayes and spared no effort.

The Magic's starting lineup is exactly the same as it was in last season's playoffs: Nelson, Carter, Turkoglou, Tony Barty, Howard.

Howard jumped the ball to beat Bagnani, and the Magic attacked first. Hayes faced Howard on the inside. His defense is still the same old-fashioned, trying to keep Howard outside the three-second zone. Hayes knew that Howard had done a good job of hooking, and it was difficult for him to defend due to his lack of height, but he didn't suggest that Bagnani make up for it, which would be difficult to control the rebounds, and it didn't matter if Howard scored more points, the important thing was to protect the backcourt rebounds inside.

In Hayes' previous life, Howard has always been Lopez's nemesis, and he is the center he fears the most, not to mention the big man Bagnani scoring guard, who can't resist Howard in terms of strength. Veteran Camby's speed is at a disadvantage, and neither is it. Only he can defend.

The Magic hoisted the ball high from the left side to Howard, and the two faced off for the first time on the court. Howard dribbled and took a step to turn, but Hayes judged the right direction and immediately reached out for a steal. Howard jumped up, he didn't like to cover. But Howard protected the basketball very well, jumped high and hooked his hand to shoot, the ball bounced twice on the basket, and it went in! 0 to 2.

Stan Van Gundy wasn't thrilled to score first. The intention of the Bobcats to send such a lineup is already very obvious, and if the Magic wraps Hayes, it is easy to be shot to death by the Bobcats' outside players. Sure enough, by the time it came to the Magic half, the players were all pulling away, Billups hoisted the ball high for Hayes to play in the low post on the right side, and the man who defended Hayes inside was Howard.

Putting Howard against Hayes was the only option for the Magic, and most of the others were not strong enough, and the speed at which they were strong enough was too slow.

Hayes took the ball and retreated, singled Howard with the ball frame, dribbled under the crotch, and the ball was handed over to the middle of the middle to the three-second zone, Howard was close to Hayes, Hayes took the ball with his left foot as the axis, took the ball and suddenly turned back, the ball was handed over to the right hand to slip to the bottom line to break through, Howard immediately retreated, and blocked Hayes's shooting angle under the basket.

After several seasons of training, especially in the Dream 8 team and Hayes often played against each other, Howard's defensive ability has also improved, he has not lost his center of gravity, his hands are raised high, and whether Hayes shoots head-on or backhand layups, he has the confidence to cover.

Hayes took the ball with one hand in his right hand and made a quick stop. Howard thought it was a feint and didn't jump, and he judged it right, but what happened next was unexpected, Durant took advantage of Bagnani's off-ball cover to shake off Turkoglou and cut through the middle, and Hayes gently sent the ball out with one hand.

Durant received the ball in the middle, shook off Tony Barty in one step, and jumped high towards Howard. Last season, Wallace was injured when he tried to dunk in front of Howard. And Durant's jump position was closer to the basket than Wallace's dunk, and Howard's attention was also on Hayes, who just turned his head and could only jump subconsciously...... Howard jumped late. In the face of a spring man like Durant, the end of jumping late is to be deducted by the opponent! The referee's whistle blew too. Howard fouls.

"Beautiful! Keep it up like this! ”

Durant and Hayes clapped their hands heavily.

After hitting the free throw, Durant hit Howard with a 2 plus 1 in the opening game! The score became 3-2.

Magic passed to Howard again. Hayes still chose to defend at the top, and it didn't work to defend Howard with a front guard, a face-frame dunk was his favorite offensive method, and going around the front would make Howard's aerial relay like a probe.

Howard received the ball at a 45-degree angle on the left side, and then turned and hooked the ball to the middle with his back to the middle. 3 to 4. Howard has really worked the offense, and although the means are still single, his shooting percentage has improved. Hayes couldn't defend Howard one-on-one, but the Bobcats didn't plan to switch defenses because their tactics were clear, and the offense made Howard foul and knocked him down.

This time, Hayes pulled the ball outside the three-point line, and Bagnani pulled it to the high post, a change that was enough to give the Magic a headache throughout the game. Howard and Tony Barty could only follow out, and the Magic's interior was completely emptied. Hayes passes the ball to Mike Miller. Miller dummerged from the outside, sideways away Carter's defense and passed the ball inside. Durant singled Turkoglu at a low 45-degree angle on the right side.

Hayes and Bagnani attracted Howard in the high post, creating a wide one-on-one low single opportunity for Durant, Durant's physique back hit Turkoglu couldn't squeeze in, but he didn't need to squeeze, his back took two steps, turned to the middle and jumped the ball in! Turkoglu can't get it. 5 to 4.

The Magic still gave the ball to Howard, and the Bobcats players continued to let Hayes one-on-one. This time Howard's shoulders shook to the left, then turned to the right to break through from the baseline, Hayes blocked the breakaway, and Howard shot with a half-hook from the baseline, and the ball was deflected. Bagnani grabbed the rebound in the backcourt.

"Switch defenses, outside Hildo defends Hayes!" Stan Van Gundy shouted at his players.

Billups dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Hayes received the ball at the top of the arc, Turkoglou and Hayes kept a step away, and Howard returned to the interior to follow Bagnani. Hayes dribbled the ball head-on, and at this time, Durant shook off Carter from the right side and ran in the direction of Hayes in the middle, looking like he was going to cover Hayes.

Hayes didn't wait for Durant to cover and took two steps to the right, at which point Tekoglu and Carter were not on the same page. Turkoglu bypassed Durant to continue to defend Hayes, and Carter's attention was also on Hayes with the ball, and he unconsciously stretched out his hand to prepare for a steal. There is a big gap between his height and Durant, and he wants to switch defenses with Turkoglu at this time, but Turkoglu does not understand Carter's intentions, and as a result, the two empty Durant on the outside. Hayes seized the opportunity and passed the ball to Durant. Durant took the ball from the outside, and it was too late for Carter to follow up and block it. Three-point hit! 8 to 4.

Howard stood at a 45-degree angle on the right side, Hayes was still a single defense, he actually didn't do anything, just blocked Howard from letting him into the inside dunk.

"Dwight, the Magic don't want to beat you all the time. You might be able to beat me, but you're going to lose by 50 points. Hayes laughed. Before the ball could be passed, he was half a step away from Howard and began to disturb Howard's mind.

Actually, he was telling the truth. Howard has never been the first choice of the Magic's offense, his usual offensive means are two moves, turning hook hands and shooting (dunk) under the basket, relying only on Howard's interior offense, the Magic can't win at all. Stan Van Gundy arranged for Howard to attack first, also hoping that he could attract defensive passes to the perimeter, like Duncan and Yao Ming. It's a pity that the Bobcats didn't need to wrap Howard at all.

This time, Howard dribbled two steps after receiving the ball and handed it to Vince Carter on the perimeter. Carter singled Durant, dribbled through the left side of the pull-up jumper, and the ball was deflected. Hayes grabbed the rebound in the backcourt.

Magic, knowing how powerful the Bobcats were attacking, immediately returned to defense, and Hayes handed it over to the Billups organization.

The Magic players are in position, 122 joint defense, Hayes runs out of the outside to hold the ball, and Billups cuts into the inside line on the right baseline and goes around in a circle. Durant rushed into the restricted area on the other weak side, then looped back from the right side and ran in a different position. Hayes saw the moment and handed the ball to Billups, who was wound at a 45-degree angle to the left. Then he ran inside and stood at the free throw line, and Durant took advantage of Hayes's free throw line to locate the cover, and ran to the high post to catch the ball and shoot!

Carter was not sure about defending Durant, and was completely blocked by Hayes. Tekoglu, who was making up for the defense, was half a beat slower, Durant shot in the open space, and the ball hit again! 10 to 4.

Durant is in this game again! 10 points in a row. Stealing the limelight from Hayes. Hayes looked at Durant in the defense, and suddenly remembered a sentence in "Fengyun" - Jin Lin is a thing in the pool, and when he encounters the wind and clouds, he changes the dragon!

Barkley shouted: "The Magic's defense has been messed up, the difference in strength between the two sides in this game is too big, and Durant alone has messed up their defense." ”

Kenny Smith laughed, "It doesn't seem like the Bobcat was playing a triangle attack today. Instead, he relied on running and passing without the ball, and I felt more like Princeton on that offense just now, and Durant and Hayes did have a tacit understanding. ”

Stan Van Gundy shouted "man-to-man" at the players on the court, and he also found it very difficult to limit the Bobcats by joint defense, and the Bobcats did not plan to attack from the inside today.

Nelson dribbled across the half, Tony Barty stepped forward to cover, Nelson shook off Billups with the ball, and accelerated past the defending Bagnani into the interior. Rushed towards Hayes.

Huh? Didn't he pass Bagnani? It should be empty in front of you, why are you still rushing towards Hayes?

Nelson: I'm not going to shoot in the open spot, I'm going to run to your Hayes for a layup! I'm just cheap! What do you do with me? Are you covering me?

Hayes really let go of Howard and headed towards Nelson and covered the ball with a slap before Nelson made a layup. The two had a little physical contact in the air, and Nelson lost his balance and threw himself into the street worse than a newcomer who wrote a book for the first time at the starting point Chinese Network, but the referee ignored it.

Billups picked up the basketball and launched a fast break and passed the ball to Durant. Turkoglu fought hard and vowed to take Durant down, but this time Durant was also selfless, passing the ball to Mike Miller. He ran inside and was ready to fight for the rebounds in the frontcourt. Miller looked at Durant's position, and he was not polite, Carter stood in front of him, he didn't pay attention to it, and shot at the top of the arc. In this position, Miller walked through the Young! 13 to 4.

Magic was blinded......
