Maybe it was because the Thunder team was too ruthless in the last meeting, so the Magic team that returned to the home court defended very hard after the opening, all stepping on the three-point line defense, and the off-ball cover also gave fierce physical confrontation.

After Li Zeyun passed the half, he noticed that Durant was originally in the low post, but Carter, who was switched to the past, was directly pushed outside the three-point line.

The Magic paid close attention to the hand-to-hand passes of several Thunder players on the perimeter, and quickly grabbed each time, forcing the three of Turtles, Li Ze and Durant to be unable to cooperate effectively on the three-point line.

ran two figures in a row, but there was still no good opportunity, Li Ze knew that this was because the intensity of the teammates' confrontation did not keep up, and he was stunned by the magic team at the beginning.

Li Ze directly supported Michael Petrus with his arm, and at the same time opened his hand to ask for the ball, but fortunately, the turtle passed the ball quickly, otherwise Li Ze was also pushed out.

A lot of NBA players may be a little bit less sideways, but the fitness and strength of most players can be full.

In particular, physical fitness, if expressed in numerical terms, players who have played for four or five years can generally reach 95.

Because this is a basic requirement, if you want to be a qualified tool person, you need strength, fitness and defense, if you can't even do these points, then the coach will definitely send you away...

After Li Ze received the ball, he quickly released the ball, accelerated the dribble to break through, and when he reached the bottom line, he pulled his right hand back, then quickly closed the ball, and threw a backward drift jumper.

"Whew..."2-pointer scored.

"Be resolute, guys, if you have a chance to attack resolutely, don't hesitate!"

Li Ze shouted loudly while returning to the defense, the magic team is obviously going to come up and scare you directly, but at this time, the momentum is gone.

The Magic's offense didn't play too fast, and the old chocolate Jason Williams, although his physical function declined, was extremely experienced on the court, handing the ball to Carter after halftime, signaling Howard to come up and block the pick-and-roll.

Of course, Li Ze had to squeeze through the cover, Carter's three-point shot was not vegetarian, but Howard's big body blocked solidly, and Carter's right hand dribble accelerated after blocking and breaking through.

Kostic also defended at this time, and he couldn't put it in the middle distance, but Carter made a high throw in the middle of the march, and Howard, who was down, jumped high and smashed the ball into the basket with one arm!

"Ahh

The empty catch and heavy dunk also made the audience at Amway Arena cheer loudly, and they liked to watch the monster dunk with a sense of power.

"Wow!! Nice assist! ”

Howard, who won the dunk, was very happy and immediately came up to high-five Carter to celebrate, and the happy beast returned...

"The Magic team had a beautiful air relay, and Howard showed his excellent physical fitness, and the dunk was very exciting!"

In the Sina studio, Ke Xiaofan also praised Howard's dunk.

The Thunder quickly sent out a baseline ball, and after the turtle dribbled across the halfcourt, Li Ze came over to catch the ball, and Jeff Green came over to make a fake cover and took away the defender.

In the face of Rashad Lewis's defense, the left-handed dribble accelerated to break through, Mr. Yuan's defense did not keep up, and Howard in the box assisted in the defense very quickly.

Li Ze flicked his left wrist in the middle of the march and hit the ground to pass to Kostic, who received the ball and put it to the basket, but Howard quickly returned to the defense and sent the big hat!

Seeing this, the corners of Li Ze's mouth twitched, what kind of movement speed is this, what kind of bullet speed is this, non-human!

"Roar!"

Howard screamed excitedly after the block, and the Magic launched a transition offense, and the Thunder quickly retreated.

Carter held the ball in his right hand and kept accelerating, quickly rushing across the halfcourt, and Li Ze tried his side to give the opponent a physical confrontation, but it seemed to be useless.

Seeing that Carter was about to go up against the defense for a layup, Jeff Green immediately came over to protect the basket.

But Carter didn't go on offense either, finding Rashad Lewis in the bottom corner with a fake pass in the air, who received the ball and shot an open three-point jumper.

"Whew..."The 3-pointer hollows into the net.

"The Magic's transition offense was fast, Kostic's return defense was slow, and Rashad Lewis hit a conversion three-pointer, which was mainly Carter's good pass and wide vision!"

Ma Jian also praised Carter's performance.

The first quarter was more than 2 minutes played, perhaps intimidated by Howard's basket defense, and Kostic's aggressiveness disappeared, which made the Thunder's side very uncomfortable.

The Magic just don't shoot you right now, they drive you to the basket, and Howard is waiting for you inside, and Kostic can't finish it with two consecutive shots under the basket.

Coach Brooks saw that this was not the right situation and hurriedly called a timeout.

"Don't hesitate to attack, be resolute, Kevin, play aggressively, Kayce, pay attention to the rhythm of the attack, and speed it up!"

Li Ze knew that the Magic team must have studied Durant's game video, and in this game, the defense was dead on his lower handicap, not giving him a chance to shoot, and letting Durant break through.

In the first few minutes, Durant was a little hesitant, and he was a little uncertain between sudden shots.

"Kevin, don't hesitate, try to kill if you break through, if you can't make a jump shot, let's go back to defense immediately, and if you feel good, you can shoot!"

Before going on the court, Li Ze told Durant again, the current lineup of the Magic team, once the jump shots of the turtle and Durant are gone, it will be difficult to play.

After the timeout, the Thunder attacked, Li Ze also stepped up his aggressiveness, Jeff Green was still fake cover to take away the defender, and Rashad Lewis hurried over to defend Li Ze.

The right hand crosses the dribble and then pulls back quickly, and the left hand takes advantage of the situation and dribbles under the crotch again, making a sharp stop and shaking Rashad Lewis back.

The defense was shaken off, Li Ze stepped back and made a jumper, and shot directly outside the three-point line.

"Huh...", retreat 3 points and hit steadily.

"Good shot! Li Ze shook off Rashard Lewis and stepped back to score the ball with three points, this goal is still very important, the Thunder team opened too boring! ”

After the host Ke Xiaofan saw Li Ze score a goal, he immediately praised loudly.

Li Ze clapped his hands to encourage his teammates while retreating, and at the same time gave Durant and Turtle a look.

The Magic's offense was still playing Kostic's blocking, and after Howard came up, Carter accelerated with his left hand to break through, but Kostic didn't feel too big, and Carter made a mid-range jumper that drifted.

"Whew...", a steady hit from mid-range.

"It's hard for the Thunder to solve the problem of Carter and Howard's blocking, Kostic is big defensively, Carter can break through directly, and if he doesn't come up, he can shoot in the middle, which is too uncomfortable to defend."

Ma Jian also saw the Thunder's current defensive dilemma.

"Sabo, keep shrinking the defense, I'll try to squeeze through the pick-and-roll as fast as I can!"

Taking advantage of the free throws, Li Ze said to Kostic while dribbling, and when the latter heard it, he patted his chest and signaled that he understood.

In the offensive round, after this time the line was continuously conducted, Jeff Green went up to Durant to hang up a cover, and again Rashad Lewis replaced.

Durant accelerated with his right hand, suddenly dribbled behind his back near the free throw line, and then paused, and Rashad Lewis was deceived into jumping up and blocking, at which point Durant changed direction in front of his body and made a pull-up jump shot.

"Hmmm...", scored from medium distance.

"Shhhhh

Amway Arena immediately sent a huge boo, no one likes to see their opponents show off in their own arena!

Big Van Gundy saw that Rashad Lewis was targeted continuously, and finally couldn't stand it anymore, and directly called a timeout, with 6 minutes and 18 seconds left in the first quarter, the score of the two sides was 14-12, and the Magic temporarily took the lead.

"That's it, Kevin, keep your aggressiveness, Russell, keep breaking, get to the free throw line, we're going to pick it up!"

Coach Brooks knew that the Magic team had figured out their routine, and at this time he could only serve chicken soup and say that nothing else was useful.

The timeout would come back, and the Magic's offense once again gave the ball to Howard, who took the ball, showed off his stiff footsteps to the basket, and after the three-threat, the top turned and scored the ball.

"Howard's low-post singles move is a bit stiff, but it's a good shot to score!"

The host Ke Xiaofan also complained when he saw this ball.

The Thunder attacked, and Li Ze and the Turtle wanted to play Rashad Lewis in a row, but the Magic changed their defensive strategy and no longer changed their defenses.

There is not much time to attack, the turtle holds the ball, does not block and dismantle, changes direction in front of the left hand, and then accelerates the breakthrough with the right hand dribble, carrying Jason Williams and rushing inside.

Seeing Howard come up to help defend, he wanted to make a foul and continue to kill the basket, but he sent a hat angrily!

"Smack!!"

After Michael Petrus controlled possession, a pass found Jason Williams, who also did not stop the ball and quickly gave the ball to Carter.

Carter dribbled the ball with his left hand and hit the basket, Li Ze jumped up to block, but the opponent faked a real pass, found Rashad Lewis in the bottom corner again, and did not hesitate to jump after receiving the ball.

"Whew..."Convert 3 points and go forward.

In the rest of the game, without Rashad Lewis, the Thunder's offense could only be piecemeal.

Turtle and Durant also entered the iron flower mode, but fortunately, Li Ze burst points to Jeff Green, who hit two consecutive three-pointers.

But the Magic's offense was more efficient, Mr. Billion exploded, perhaps being targeted by rookies in a row, and Rashad Lewis was on fire for the remaining minutes.

Carter continued to play with Howard, this time he chose to break through directly, Li Ze squeezed a step too slow, Kostic closed under the basket and raised his hands, but Carter still faked the real pass.

Howard received the ball under the basket and his hand slid a little, and Jeff Green saw that he had an opportunity and immediately stepped forward to grab the ball, only for Howard to control the ball and throw it out.

Rashad Lewis makes a jumper from beyond the three-point line.

"Whew..."3-pointer hit again.

In the final minutes of the first quarter, Rashad Lewis was completely crazy, blocking and shooting, and after receiving the ball, he stepped back and made a jumper, and Bang Bang scored two more goals in a row.

The Magic's offense went smoothly, the defense was also strong, and coupled with the cheering of the home fans, there was a small climax at the last moment.

30-22, the Magic team blossomed inside and outside the first quarter, and Mr. 100 million went crazy, leading the Thunder by 8 points.

During the interval, Li Ze was resting, thinking about what else to do in this game, but after thinking about it, he felt that unless his side exploded, this game would be really cold...

"The deterrent power of the super center, one person supports the defensive system of the Magic team..."Li Ze secretly felt a lemon in his heart.
