Magic swept Bobcats 4-0 to advance? Or the Bobcats Jedi fight back and return to Charlotte with a victory?

If they can sweep the Bobcats, the Magic will have the upper hand in momentum if they reach the Eastern Conference Finals. So the Magic is going to sweep the Bobcats with all their might. The Bobcats couldn't afford to lose, and no team wanted to go out in such a humiliating way.

The game was broadcast live across the United States on T*NT, with commentary from Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith. The TV station is very clear that Barkley's most supported player is Hayes, and this game is related to whether the Bobcats will be eliminated, and it will definitely be interesting to have Barkley do the commentary.

Sure enough, Barkley made a big deal out of it before the game began. "To this day, I still think magic is inferior to Bobcats. The Bobcats only lost their first game to big man Gerard Wallace, a change in the psychology of the players. So the Magic got lucky to win three games. I used to say when I watched these two teams play in the regular season that the Magic couldn't stop Hayes at all. Neither Turkoglou, Tony Barty, nor Howard can defend well from the outside, while Hayes has a lot of offensive range. Previously, they could have used Ariza off the bench to defend Hayes, but they have sent Ariza to the Lakers this season. And the Magic's bench depth is not strong. Once Howard is off the court, the overall movement speed slows down. If you don't improve the depth of the bench, even if the Magic knocks out the Bobcats, they won't have any hope of winning a championship. ”

Kenny Smith laughed, "It's true that the Magic can't stop Hayes, but their overall strength is still stronger than that of the Bobcat." Howard beat Bidrins, Turkoglou is the most improved player this season, and he has the ability to be selected for the All-Star Game, much better than Barnes, who can only defend, and Azubuke has played well this season, but is far worse than Carter. Calderon was a hole in the Bobcats' defense, and he couldn't guard Nelson. Nelson was an unexpected discovery for the Magic this season, and he played like an All-Star after heading into the playoffs. It can be said that except for the No. 4 position, all positions of the Magic are dominant. I guess even if the lynx were swept away, there would be nothing strange about it. They must have been under a lot of psychological pressure in this game. ”

Barkley said depressedly: "I think the other positions are okay, mainly the point guard position, Calderon has a good offense, but the physical fitness is too poor, and the defense is a big problem. The Bobcats should give Rajon Rondo more playing time, and although Rondo doesn't shoot well, he is very tight on defense and won't be easily passed. And when switching defenses, Rondo is very brave, he dares to mark the opposing forwards, waiting for opportunities to steal or make offensive fouls, which is rare. Bobcat Hayes is the absolute heart of the offense and can be deployed on Rondo. In the offense, Rondo only needs to take the basketball through the half court to complete the task, and there is no need to shoot. Erwin (Johnson) is also bullish on Rondo. Aside from shooting, he's well-rounded. ”

Smith listened to Barkley's evaluation and said with a smile: "I think the most depressed thing for the Bobcats is Felton, he was still the main force of the Bobcats last season." Others believe that the Bobcat should establish him as the core. But after Calderon came, he gave up his main position, and now Rondo, the marginal man of the Trail Blazers, is here, and you actually think that he is also better than Felton. Back then, Felton was a point guard on a par with Chris Paul and Deron Williams. ”

Barkley looked at the pitch with a dead look and said boredly: "I'm just telling a fact. The Bobcats' signings have been very successful, oh...... The players played. ”

The Bobcats players were the first to take the stage, and when Hayes played, the Magic fans gave him a round of applause. Although the Bobcats were 3-0 down, Hayes' performance was respected.

When the Magic five starters came out, each one was cheered on by the fans. They are the heroes of Orlando, and the live DJs are especially sensational when they introduce the players. The atmosphere didn't look like an introduction to the line-up, but more like an award ceremony for the winners. Magic officials distributed a small flag with a "sweep" logo to every fan who attended. Enthusiastic fans waved flags together and shouted that magic would win.

In such an atmosphere, can the Bobcats players be free of pressure?

D'Antoni kept cheering the players on. 'Today is our last chance and if we win today, we will have a chance to turn the tables back at home. If we lose, all our efforts this season will be in vain. We are a team aiming for the championship and cannot be swept away. Chuck is the main offense on the outside, and the others go to the front court to give the ball to Chuck, and then block and cover, and the outside players run to look for opportunities. The task of the others is to defend, and they have to defend to the death. Be ruthless when you foul! Don't just sabotage the shot, be so ruthless that they can't find their touch, and make them scared when they shoot when they see the defender. Don't be afraid of fouls! Especially to Carter and Howard! ”

"Defeat the magic!" Hayes led the way and roared.

"Defeat the magic!" The Bobcats players were stirred up by the emotions and shouted loudly.

"Very good, good momentum. Calm down and don't think of this game as a fourth. For our first game against the Magic, we're just fighting for one game, and then we're going to try to win every game we play. Aim for Sweeping Magic! D'Antoni exclaimed. When the Suns were swept by the Rockets last season, he ended up too lazy to motivate his players. But today is different, and while the Bobcats are cornered, he thinks there's still a chance. His current method of motivating players is typical of the spirit of Ah Q, self-hypnosis.

He believes Hayes can lead the team to victory, at least the Bobcats won't be swept out. Because Hayes is the regular season MVP. And it's the most powerful MVP he's ever seen in recent years!

Before coming on, Hayes gave Gortat a slap in the back, and Gortat looked a little absent-minded.

"Massin. Speaking of spirits, you are important to the bobcat. Your explosiveness isn't much worse than even Howard's. You're sure you're going to get a lot of playing time today, defend with all your might, and if you can't prevent it, you'll foul hard! We need you. ”

"Got it!" Gortat shouted.

"Today I'm going to leave Carter without eating. Rest assured, I won't let him score easily today! Azubuke roared before he came on the pitch.

"I'm rubbing, Corunna, why are you so passionate today? If you do the same for the first three games, we can knock out the Magic today! I believe in you, brother! Hayes laughed.

The opponent is Carter, and no one blames him for not being able to prevent it. But he fought very hard. He Wallace is another desperate Saburo, and he is playing better than one game.

"I made an appointment with Corinna that I had to win this fight and go back to Sherlock with the win." Azubuk said solemnly.

Corinna is a beautiful white female fan and a well-known female chef in Charlotte. After the game against the Raptors, she asked Azubuike for an autograph, and Azubuke and Corinna chatted for a while, felt good, and began to pursue each other. There has been no substantial progress yet.

Hayes had seen Corinna, a wilder of yours. The body is hot, the amount of alcohol is huge, and the surname is bold, to put it bluntly, it is more gentlemen.

"Have you agreed? It seems that the relationship is good. What did she say to you? Hayes laughed.

She said: If you can't win this game and the Bobcats are swept away, you don't want to go back to Charlotte. I'll kill you when you come back!" Azubuk said with a happy expression as he mimicked Corinna's tone.

Hayes sweats. You're too much. This is no longer an agreement, but a naked threat. You're actually looking for the daughter of a gang boss, right? Why are you still happy? Is this normal?

Howard looked at Hayes not far away, wanting to come over and say hello, but he didn't say anything. Since hurting Wallace. His words were much less. He considers himself and Hayes friends. Talking to Hayes now is a bit of a triumphant. If he hurts the other party's second leader, he is embarrassed to pose as a winner.

Hayes noticed Howard, walked over and said, "Dwight, I'm not going to lose again today." With me, the Bobcat is not so easy to beat. You don't have to put on an embarrassed face. The first game, I've forgiven you. ”

Howard immediately laughed, revealing two rows of white teeth.

"You should have let Landry defend you today, you two must have had fun laughing and playing." Hayes laughed. In such adversity, he could still laugh, and he was very surprised. He's completely let go!

Today I'm going to score against all odds! All-out game! Don't leave any regrets!

The Magic's starting lineup remains unchanged.

Bobcats starters: Calderon, Azubuuk, Hayes, Landry, Biedrins.

In order to enhance the offensive firepower of the interior, D'Antoni sent Landry to start today, giving him full trust. Landry also let go after a few games. Although he is inexperienced, he plays hard!

But some of the Bobcats players are still nervous. Biedrins was one of them, and he made a mistake while jumping the ball. The referee tossed the ball into the air and Biedrins jumped early before the ball had risen to its highest point, only to be whistled for a foul and give the ball to the Magic.

Magic Nelson dribbled the ball across half court and handed it to Vince Carter. Azubuk immediately posted it.

Azubuuk got off Carter in the first round. His eyes glowed red, and his expression didn't look like he was playing ball, but like he was about to kill someone.

"Come on!" Azubuk roared. He deserves the title of a defensive giant.

Is this bastard crazy? You can't stop me by yelling. Carter thought to himself, Howard stepped forward to cover, and Carter quickly broke through from the left with the ball. Azubuke used his speed to get around Howard, chase Carter, and work with Landry to trap Carter.

This is another defensive tactic arranged by Jeff Van Gundy - Howard in the high post!

Howard has no shooting ability in the high post and no threat to pass to him. As long as he dribbles the ball into the inside, it's a foul!

Carter jumped up and passed to Nelson on the right after being trapped. At this time, Hayes saw the opportunity, let go of Tekoglu, and accurately cut off Carter's pass, which was a one-man fast break. Tectrou returned at full speed and retreated into the penalty area in time.

I'll give you a lung! Hayes cursed inwardly. Dribbling with his back to Tekoglu's lungs and into the basket, Tekoglu lost his balance and Hayes raised his hands and held the basketball high.

Howard rushed up from behind and jumped up to block, but Hayes just dangled, waiting for Howard to jump, and then jumped against Howard, the two collided, and Hayes threw the ball with one hand, and the ball went in! The referee blew the whistle for a foul and added a penalty! 2 to 0.

Hayes smiled at Howard, "I knew you could catch up!" ”
