Chapter 099 vs. Magic (1)

On the second day in Orlando, Van Gundy practiced in a targeted manner, and the outside style of play advocated by the Magic team led by Doug Rivers, and the ability to shoot three-pointers should not be underestimated for the entire Magic. Later in the era of Van Gundy, the Magic still liked to break down opponents with long-distance shooting from the outside.

For the Magic's outside offense, the Knicks' outside defensive pressure will increase dramatically, but there are pros and cons, if the outside and interior are dominant in the league, the Magic is definitely a strong contender for the championship, but the current Magic has not yet reached such a strong strength.

Liang Xiao in this training session, mainly focused on defensive breakthroughs, because Liang Xiao knew that he might be in the right position of the quantile is definitely not an ordinary subposition, with Maddie in this position, Liang Xiao's defense must not be perfunctory and can be passed, of course, Liang Xiao is more looking forward to playing against a player like Maddie, not only to deepen his defensive experience, but also to get some unexpected gains, because these superstars have their own capital as superstars.

After a day of training, the Knicks players are very serious, and now the Knicks' good start is an encouragement to everyone, and today's game against the Orlando Magic is also a game that they may win.

In the evening, Liang Xiao started watching the Magic's game footage in the locker room very early, Gratt Hill's injury has improved this season, and Maddie is thriving with the Magic. Liang Xiao sat in the locker room and looked at this figure that he could always see in front of the TV in his previous life, and now it is still like that, no, maybe better.

This game did not get more attention in the United States, because today there is a big event like the Kings, which has more ratings than the Knicks and Magic, but today the game was broadcast live on domestic TV stations, especially the Imperial Court Channel 5, and it happened to be Sunday when many fans did not go to work and waited in front of the TV. Host and commentator Yang Yi broadcast the game live.

"Audience friends, the game we will broadcast today is the Knicks vs. the Magic, and now it is the home of the Magic, what kind of layout will the two sides make for this game, how will the Chinese player Liang Xiao perform in this game, and will Liang Xiao play against Maddie, how will the performance against Maddie be, and will it continue the good performance of the previous games? We'll see! Today, our program invited the famous commentator, Yang Yiyang, to comment on this game! At the same time, fans and friends can also participate in our program through our text message activity: "Imperial Court Channel 5 played its usual verbose and unrealistic ideas, and began to talk about the game continuously from the thirty-minute point of the game.

"Yang Yi, do you think Liang Xiao will play the level of the previous games in this game?"

"Liang Xiao's first few games are really very good, at least in terms of rookie season, there are few players who have reached the thickness of this kind of game, and at Liang Xiao's level, it is generally the performance of superstars in their rookie season!" Yang Yi spoke highly of Liang Xiao's performance before commenting on the game.

"You mean Liang Xiao can become a superstar, right?" The host said to Yang Yi.

"If the current performance is maintained, he can grow in a season, which is no problem at all, I think he is now thinking about how to keep his level above and keep it like this, if this performance continues like this, I think it is very possible, superstar is not an unattainable dream!"

"Then now Liang Xiao is slowly becoming stronger, do you want Da Yao's performance to grow step by step, is it also a backup for a superstar?" When the host said that Liang laughed, he also said that Da Yao, who was on the Rocket Team.

Yang Yi thought about it and said: "Although Da Yao's performance has not achieved a satisfactory result now, but his advantage is there, I think as long as Da Yao walks step by step like this, he can solve the problem of that aspect of his strength, I don't think there is a problem at all." ”

"If that's the case, then the Chinese team's basketball has no problem at all, the guard line, the center, with two superstar-level players, China's performance in international competitions must be higher." The host is dreaming.

The fans in front of the TV are also discussing this game, many people are Liang Xiao's fans, but there are also a lot of fans in Maddie, and this game is an advantage for many people when they enjoy a high-level game.

"Zuo Qiang, your buddy is getting more and more powerful now, I didn't expect that a player who didn't participate in the elective could reach such a height, it's really not easy!"

"Of course, you don't even look at which buddy it is!" Zuo Qiang said to the classmates around him.

Since Liang Xiao landed in the NBA, Zuo Qiang and his classmates gathered in his dormitory as long as there were NBA games, watching the ball together, and constantly talking about things, which is also a kind of enjoyment.

"Okay, now the game is about to start, okay, now give Liang Xiao a close-up, seeing Liang Xiao's state should be good, but looking at his expression today, it's a bit serious, I wonder if you may meet an alliance superstar like Maddie in this game?" After seeing Liang Xiao, the main man of Wutai in the imperial court analyzed reasonably.

"Well, Liang Xiao is a little nervous today, if he doesn't relax now, the next game may be affected. Look at Maddie, still have such an expression of not waking up, think of a player like him, it is really a very distinctive look, off the field and on the field are like two people, on the field is a fine light, is it a confirmation of that sentence, the eagle is sleeping, the tiger is sick, hehe! Yang Yi saw Maddie who was given the magic by the camera, and smiled when he saw that face.

"Yang Yi, you said this well, I heard that he started to develop this habit when he was a Raptor, when he was eighteen years old, and he was growing his body every day as if he hadn't woken up!" The host also joined in the ridicule of Maddie. "Okay, now the game has officially begun, look at the Knicks' starting lineup is still like that, Harrington, Thomas, Sprewell, Houston and Easley, I heard that Sprewell's condition was not very good in the last game, so Liang Xiao came off the bench for the first time, today to see how the Knicks performed, let's take a look at the Magic's starters, their starters are center Sean Kemp, big forward Mike Miller, small forward Glatt Hill, point guard Tracy McGrady, The point guard is Darrell Armstrong. ”

"The game officially began, Rainman Sean Kemp and Harrington competed for serve, Rainman spent his golden career in SuperSonic, and Gary Payton brought Supersonic to the height of the Finals, but since Rainman began to be inseparable from alcohol, his state has been declining, and now he can only continue to mix in various teams, 33 years old, no longer what he used to be." Yang Yi looked at Rain Man Camp and said, Harrington still didn't fight for the ball, and the Magic immediately advanced to the front court after getting the ball.

The first ball was played by Maddy, who is now the boss of the Magic, and although Grant Hill is also a superstar, his absence last season has not made him in great shape. Seeing Maddie receiving the ball, Yang Yi began to analyze, "This ball is held by Maddie, if Hill's injury has stabilized this year, I think the current Magic can definitely jump to the championship, you know, when he was in the Pistons, Hill averaged more than 20 points per game at all, and now it is his glass legs that make the Magic unbearable." ”

"Okay, as soon as Maddie came up, Houston didn't choose to break through, went directly to the three-point line in the frontcourt, shot, pulled, the way it has always been, scored, and the three-point shot is effective! Maddie is really unreasonable sometimes. The host said.

Yang Yi smiled, "This kind of ball is a very easy thing for Maddie, even if he is standing in front of a superstar or an average rookie, it is possible to score, this is where their advantage lies, I think this ball, Houston will return one to him." "That's right, Houston got to the front court and made a good shot.

You go back and forth on both sides, playing for more than seven minutes, the scores on both sides are not very high, and there are constant substitutions in the middle, the Knicks replace Anderson and point guard Ward, strengthen the rotation of the guard line, and the Magic's scoring is mainly concentrated on the outside, although the Magic's interior line is not bad now, like McMiller, Kemp is still very good, but with Maddy, Hill, especially Hill, this season's injuries are a little better and there are not so many breakthroughs. The score was 21-18, and the Knicks were still three points behind.
