In the arena of the Air Canada Center, the cheers were deafening.

The shouts of the fans mixed with the sound of the live DJ wafted over the stadium, and the atmosphere seemed to be extremely hot.

It was a clash between two of the most popular teams in the East, so it was in the spotlight and was chosen to be broadcast live across the United States today.

In the footage of the national live broadcast, fans can always see the familiar face doing the commentary.

Barkley, a well-known name in the United States, is the ace of the commentators.

Ross Barkley was in extra good spirits today, and he was talking about the two sides of today's game.

"Orlando have been in really good form this season and they've improved a lot compared to last season. Judging from this season, Maddie is more willing to play the ball, and O'Neal is able to play more comfortably as a result. ”

"If last season Orlando was more of a two-man team, this season it's more like a complete team. The players in their squad are doing their own roles, and the division of labor is clear, and there is no longer a situation where they are in a big bag as in the past. ”

Barkley's evaluation of the Orlando Magic was to the point, and his words were also recognized by the fans.

Although the Orlando Magic also played well last season and reached the second round of the playoffs, such a result is undoubtedly a failure for a team with Maddie and O'Neal.

Obviously, it's not a matter of one plus one equaling two when the stars are teamed up. This requires chemistry.

But then again, the chemistry is still between Maddie and O'Neill. At least that was evident in last season's playoffs.

But there was chemistry. The disadvantages of two people leading the team are also revealed. That's too big.

It's hard for anyone other than two people to make a difference, and sometimes it's even more like they're playing soy sauce.

It's obviously hard to help the Magic become a championship-caliber team, even though they have two of the best players in the league.

At the beginning of the season, the Magic began to make adjustments, and the new head coach Van Gundy began to ask others to try to get involved in the offense, while also asking Maddy to play more passing.

Such a change is a reflection of the Magic's overall basketball play, and for Maddie, who is accustomed to his core, it is undoubtedly difficult to adapt.

But for the sake of the championship. Maddy still accepted Van Gundy's coaching, made changes, worked hard to play the ball and integrate everyone on the team into the attack.

It was a difficult process, but in the first month, the Magic team got better than it used to be.

Maddie became the playmaker of the team, and O'Neal began to get the ball more on the inside, and the role became more obvious.

And, except for the two big guys. The rest of the Magic team also has more of a performance component when they are on the court.

At least. The role players who come on the court will no longer be a close-up spectator as they used to.

The Magic's change was undoubtedly the right one, and this season, the media and pundits across the country have been highly praising Van Gundy's approach.

The Magic team before the All-Star was good enough, they had a very good record, and O'Neal and Maddy were named All-Stars again.

But the scary is not here, the Magic team really entered the rhythm of the playoffs after the All-Star, did not lose a game, and now is a guest at the Air Canada Center Arena, with an 8-game winning streak.

Fans across the United States are talking about whether the Magic will win the championship this season, but it seems to be agreed that there should be no problem for the Magic team to enter the Finals.

After the All-Star break, it's often a time to test a team's playoff strength, and obviously, everyone is watching to see if the Orlando Magic will continue to beat today's opponent with a strong and crazy victory under the national live broadcast and finally win nine in a row.

And the same, although Toronto's season has been very bumpy, when the star Wu Di really returned, the team began to slowly become regular.

After the All-Star break, they also didn't lose a game, and now the Toronto Raptors are facing their opponents with a six-game winning streak.

"For Wu Di and Toronto, this match is undoubtedly the biggest test for them. Whether they really get out of the quagmire of losing, the mighty Orlando will undoubtedly be their litmus test. Barkley chuckled and whispered.

The Orlando Magic are now in strong and hot form, and in their eyes, there is really no opponent in the entire East, and Barkley also laughed just now that Orlando will not end the season with a terrifying winning streak.

This joke obviously can't be answered, and if the Magic want to win 9 in a row, they need to do it first with the Toronto Raptors.

As Barkley said, the Toronto Raptors are determined to prove that they are out of trouble with losing and become a playoff team in the East, and they will certainly take the Magic team who are the most favored teams in the East.

As a result, this is obviously a highlight game that deserves to be broadcast live in the United States, and fans are also looking forward to the final result and are enjoying the process of the game.

The game started at 7 p.m. local time in Toronto, and by the time Barkley was judging the two teams, it was around 8 p.m., which means that the first half had already begun to come to an end.

Suddenly, a loud noise wafted out from the field, rendering the atmosphere of the entire arena feverish.

The camera of the national live broadcast instantly locked the focus on the field, which was a scene that was difficult to suppress the excitement.

Barkley's mouth opened wide in a daze, and the momentary gaffe also made people understand the excitement of this scene.

When he returned to normal, Barkley was extremely excited, and he subconsciously exclaimed: "Wu Di actually gave Shaq a volleyball-style hot pot, such a cap is simply bloody." To know who he is pretending to be? Sark! The ferocious shark. ”

In the process of Barkley's exclamation, the fans at the scene were already jumping up in unison, roaring wildly at the field.

Obviously, after witnessing this scene, no one was not excited.

The roars and cheers were endless, and in the process of the on-site DJ commentary, Wu Di's defense was also replayed as many as three times on the big screen at the scene.

The brilliance and gold content of the defense are impeccable, and in this regard, there is no doubt about Wu Di's defensive sense.

Judging from the picture, everyone understands what is going on.

O'Neal received a pass from Maddy, and at the moment when he touched Milicic on the inside, he habitually made a throwing action, and because it was not very far from the basket, everyone felt that O'Neal's goal would definitely score.

And the hilarious scene is that at the moment of O'Neal's shot, Maddie clenched his fists and had a celebratory expression on his face.

But such an expression was instantly frozen on the face, because the muffled sound was too shocking.

O'Neal's projectile flew out, and Wu Di, who was assisting in the defense on the baseline, flew up after almost taking a step.

In the blink of an eye, the defense is almost difficult to find, which is why the on-site reaction was so violent.

Flying out the offense of the league's most dominant center at the height of the basket is a scene that is difficult to find in the entire history of the NBA.

O'Neill's expression was extremely stern at this time, he felt that this was a loss of face, but he really couldn't find any reason to vent, so he could only stare at Wu Di silently, and the flames in his eyes were extremely obvious.

For O'Neal, he can remember that he has been blocked by the Chinese more than once in the few seasons that this young man has been in the league.

Even, after this block was produced, O'Neal even had a thought, is this guy the outside line who blocks the most for himself? Or the players?

Memories don't lie, especially this indelible memory.

On the big screen on the scene, there was a special record, Wu Di has given as many as 100 blocks to interior players in his entire career, and O'Neal alone has enjoyed this treatment 7 times.

When O'Neal stared at Wu Di with fire-breathing eyes, everyone wondered if this brutal shark would be thinking about when to return the food it had eaten?

But really thinking about it, considering Wu Di's personal technical characteristics, it doesn't seem so easy.

"With this bounce speed and height, I think the topic of our discussion of Wu Di's knees can disappear completely. He reminded me of Michael, both of whom were so athletic when they were younger. As the game continued on the court, Barkley sat down and began to talk about his opinion.

Such a scene is extremely exciting, and people are vying to talk about it.

And from Barkley's words, young fans also have a new understanding of Wu Di, this guy can only be described as a monster. Others are getting more and more injured, but he is getting stronger and stronger.

From the defense of O'Neal's goal, it can be seen that Wu Di's physical condition today is very good.

And in a good physical condition, how can Wu Di behave badly?

At the end of the first half alone, Wu Di contributed 17 points, 6 rebounds, 4 steals, 3 assists and 2 blocks.

And after the remaining 24 minutes, that number almost doubled, to 36 points, 10 rebounds, 7 steals, 5 assists and 5 blocks.

For fans across the United States who tuned in to the game, they felt the shock.

It seemed to them that after waiting for a long time, the situation they had been waiting for finally appeared.

Wu Di finally played his first game against the sky after the All-Star Games, and the opponent was still the Orlando Magic, who are hungry for championships.

This makes people think, maybe this is that the stronger the opponent, the greater the pressure, the better the table.

And of course, for fans, they need to re-face this team with Wu Di, to be able to step on the Orlando Magic with 7 consecutive wins, which has to make people think, maybe Toronto with Wu Di will become the X factor in the playoffs. (To be continued......)
