On April 25, 1997, with the first round of the lower half of the tournament over, the first game between the Magic and the Hornets also began. At the Amway Centre, the 20,000-capacity arena is packed, and the players in the dressing rooms are already gearing up.

"Jonny, did you hear about yesterday's game?" Jonny wiped his sneakers, and Darryl Armstrong came over.

"How?" Jonny asked without looking up.

"The Heat defeated the Pistons by a big score, and sure enough, compared to the Hornets and the Pistons, the Pistons are still weaker!" Darryl Armstrong sighed. Jonny just smiled and stretched out his leg for the team's trainer to give him a massage.

"Also, the Knicks and the Hawks played inseparably, and the winner was not determined until the last minute, and in the end it was the Knicks who won, and Patrick Ewing's key shot, sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy. By the way, our opponent in the next round is estimated to be the Heat, and the Pistons are too weak, and it is estimated that they will have to hang in three games. Darryl Armstrong babbled, and Jonny also finished the four games that had been played in the playoffs. That's the way it was in the East, with the Heat playing with ease and the Knicks and Hawks battling. The West started with the first half of the game, the Jazz undoubtedly beat the Clippers by 20 points, and the Rockets also beat the Suns by a big score, and the gap between the teams in the West is too big.

And the end of the first day of the game, the upcoming second day of the game is even more exciting for the media and fans, not only because the Bulls are finally going to play. As the scoring champion of the regular season, rookie Jonny is also going to play in the playoffs, and people are also very much looking forward to Jonny's performance.

The fans in the stadium wore uniform blue shirts, and the Amway Arena became very shocking. And Jonny watched all this curiously, and appeared in the exciting voice of the DJ, and when Jonny walked to the center of the court, the scorching atmosphere instantly made Jonny feel a pressure, which belongs to the playoffs, not only from the opponent, but also a large part of the fanaticism of the fans.

Feeling the pressure from the playoffs, Jonny calmed his excitement and began to calm down, knowing that being too excited would not be conducive to his next performance.

This game is a battle for Johnny's name, and he wants to prove that he is a scorer who can dominate both the regular season and the playoffs.

Warming up, Jonny now moved his joints with the help of the trainer, and then picked up the basketball and began to look for a feel, slowly moving outside the three-point line to shoot three points, and the basketball staggered into the basket, he seemed to have a good hand today, which made Jonny look forward to this game even more.

In the first playoff game of Chinese player Jonny Lee, CCA-V naturally broadcast the game live, and the commentary of the game was still Su Qun and Xu Jicheng, who were still hardcore partners at this time, and the two chatted about Joni Lee in the studio in Beijing. After a regular season, they can be regarded as having a certain understanding of Jonny.

"This is the first game of the Orlando Magic vs. Charlotte Hornets in the first round of the 1997 MLB playoffs, we can see that the first Chinese player in the NBA, Jonny Lee, is warming up, and from his warm-up we can see that the type of player belongs to that kind of projection player, Mr. Xu, what do you think about Jonny Lee?" Su Qun first made an opening remark, and then led the conversation to Jonny, who Chinese fans are most concerned about.

"This is a very good player, he won the scoring title in his rookie season, and now he has booked the best rookie, and may even compete for the title of regular season MVP, and he is a projection player, this is a completely different player from Michael Jordan, he has attracted a lot of imitations from American teenagers, and it can be said that Jonny Lee is the player who leads the new trend in basketball!" Xu Jicheng's evaluation is very high, and even Xu Jicheng himself is not sure if Jonny can reach this height, but do Chinese fans dislike Jonny? Maybe there are, but there are few, so Xu Jicheng praising Jonny like this is the only thing he can do, after all, the fans are God.

"So what does Mr. Xu think of this round of the series? The reports sent back from the United States show that the Hornets are very confident, they have enough confidence to complete a black seven, and the American media is also debating, but most of them are still more optimistic about the Magic. Su Qun once again raised a question.

"I think the Magic have an absolute advantage, although the American media thinks that Jonny Lee, and Marcus Camby may be lost in the playoffs, but I think the odds are very small, it's like buying a lottery ticket, it's hard to win, from this point you can see that the Hornets are at an absolute disadvantage, the Magic occupy an absolute advantage, as long as there are no accidents, the final promotion must be the Magic." Adhering to the principle of speaking from the side of the fans, Xu Jicheng continued.

And in the midst of the gags of the two commentators of CCA-V, the game is about to begin.

The Magic have been determining their starting lineup since the second half of the season, and even in the playoffs, there is no need to change it. On the Hornets' side, the starting lineup has changed a bit from the regular season, the point guard is still Bug Boggs, the scoring guard has been changed from Tony Smith to Ricky Pierce as a three-point shooter, and the small forward is Glen Rice, the power forward is still Anthony Mason Jr., and the center is Verrattidivac. And this lineup is better than the regular season, the three-point is better, and the backcourt is taller, and it is clear that Dave Cowens has made some preparations before the game.

"Guys, this is our first playoff game, beat the opponent! Let them know we're awesome! "As captain, Anfernee Hardaway is starting to be inspiring. And Jonny also took over: "That's right, beat them, we're going to sweep them in 3 games!" ”

Ricky Adubatu walked over with the tactics board at this time and began to lay out the initial tactics: "Okay, friends, we've seen the starting lineup of the Hornets, they have increased the height of the backcourt, the purpose is obvious, it is to target you, Jonny, you have to shoot a little more decisive three-point in this game, understand?" ”

"Got it, Richie." Jonny nodded.

"That's good, it's still the tactics of the regular season, break through the ball, look for opportunities for outside threes, but we have to play a little more resolutely, don't be afraid of the Hornets, we have to be much higher than them, Marcus, pay attention to kill Divac, Doug, keep an eye on Glen Rice, we just need to guard against these two people, we can definitely win this game."

With the set-up over and the two players on the pitch, lined up in the centre circle, Glen Les looked at Jonny, who had a similar style of play to him, both projection players. However, at this time, Jonny is known as the leader of a projection player, which makes Glen Les quite angry, and he wants to beat Jonny to grab this name!
