Chapter 394 Who Can Stop the Magic Team

The Thunder's main goal this season is naturally training.

Durant, brother-in-law Green is a second-year player, and Westbrook is a first-year player. They are all high-level rookies, and their current lineup is obviously not capable of winning.

This is especially true when facing a strong opponent like the Magic. The focus of this round is the battle between Li Chengming and Durant, the "07 duo". At present, the two of them are the ones who surpass the others.

But what makes Li Chengming fans very upset is that this is a bit of a "South Murong, North Qiaofeng" feeling of insisting on stepping aside.

After all, Li Chengming is the best rookie, All-Star, third team and championship FMVP, what is Durant now?
Of course, everyone can see Durant's potential. Durant, who just scored 37 points in the last game, scored another 29 points against the Magic. The Magic really have no good way to deal with him.

Li Chengming had some experience in defending him, but Durant deliberately avoided it after two tries.

It can be seen that he is not afraid to face Li Chengming, but he knows that this is not good for the team to win, and he wants to win to prove that he is better than Li Chengming.

Otherwise, no matter how good the data is, it is meaningless not to win.

A very important reason why Li Chengming's reputation is so high now is that he can score high points, link up with teammates, defend, and lead the team to win.

It's a pity that the Thunder's hard power is far behind that of the Magic. Although Li Chengming only scored 22 points, he sent out 11 assists, and Howard scored 30 points, 19 rebounds and 10 blocks in a crazy triple-double. Data, wandering around the Thunder's penalty area, and guarding the Magic's penalty area tightly.

The first-year rookie Westbrook, who came off the bench for the Thunder and looked a lot like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, was even more of a pitfall. He only made 19 of 3 shots and helped the Thunder win a nearly 30-point defeat.

This time Durant may only be crowned as a glorious defeat, but no one would think that he performed better and stronger than Li Chengming.

The Mavericks also caused some trouble for the Magic. Josh Howard, Nowitzki and the sixth man Terry scored 20+, but in the end they couldn't stop the Magic from scoring in double figures. The starting four scored 20+. + Offensive.

The two sides played a wonderful offensive basketball game, and finally the Magic won 109:102 with rich experience.

李成名出战39分钟,投篮11中7得到20分10篮板10助攻,最后时刻抢到一次进攻篮板总算是刷满了三双。

There is nothing to say about the Bobcats. They clock in three quarters and get off work easily. Li Chengming is now abusive and fierce, and stable when he is strong. With him, the chance of overturning in the Magic team is much smaller.

On the 18th, the Magic returned home to face the Raptors, which had been strengthened through trades during the offseason. This is also the first time since the new season that the inside combination of the Magic Lee Cheng-ming + Howard has encountered an All-Star-level insider. opponent.

The two sides fought thrillingly in the interior. Jermaine O'Neal fouled five times, Li Chengming, Howard and Bosh all fouled four times.

It is other players who decide the outcome of the game, because besides Li Chengming and Howard, there are Lewis, Turkoglu, and even Nelson on the Magic team.

As for the Magic, except for Bosh and O'Neal, no one else can stand up.

Especially in the competition of the substitutes, Turkoglu scored 27 points alone, which was worth the scores of all the substitutes of the opposing Raptors.

So in the end, the Magic still dedicated a wonderful victory to the home fans, beating the Raptors 103:90.

After that, it was a back-to-back game of guest first and then home. The Magic first narrowly beat the Pacers 101:100 in the away game. In the last 5 seconds of the Magic, Li Chengming was double-teamed and made a lob for Turkoglu to grab a three-pointer in the air. Successfully completed the buzzer lore.

Back home and ushered in the challenge of Houston, this game is recognized as the first "Chinese Derby" this season, and now only when Li Chengming played against Dayao, and the Magic team played against Houston, would they be called out with great fanfare. Preach the derby.

Ah Lianka's position is not enough, so it's meaningless to force it, but belittle the gold content of the word, let alone Sun Dasheng.

However, after getting Li Chengming, Howard, who used to be embarrassed when he bumped into Dayao, is no longer afraid of him.

Houston has attracted strong support from Artest this season, which has actually greatly improved their offense and defense. If they can stay healthy, Dayao may really be able to go further this season.

It's a pity to keep healthy, I'm afraid they can't do it.

Of course, this is an all-hands battle, and Dayao still suppressed Howard, but Li Chengming's point is that no one can restrain him.

At first, Artest intended to defend alone, but after finding that he couldn't stand it at all, he could only shake people.

But after Van Gundy replaced Turkoglu, the Magic's transfer of the ball became very smooth, and Li Chengming became a bait again, and then beat the opponent's weak flaws.

Even if it is not open, the singles advantage in the matchup can also be used. Whether it is Alston, Scola, Landry, or Brooks, they are all defensive weaknesses that can be seized, so Nelson, Lewis and Redick all Erupted.

Nelson scored a season-high 22 points. Redick, a white shooter, went to the basket continuously through off-ball cuts and scored 10 points on 9 of 14 free throws.

Anthony Johnson also had an eye-catching performance this time, scoring an economical double-double with 10 points and 10 assists.

Li Chengming and Turkoglu spent a lot of time on the court, so they just need to rest on the court to help their teammates make the ball.

It is worth mentioning that Mbah a Moute also got a dunk opportunity within 3 minutes of his debut, scoring the first point of his NBA career.

At the same time, he blocked a McGrady's shot from behind, which drew cheers from the home court.

Afterwards, the Magic defeated the Bucks and Philadelphia again, beating the Wizards and the Pacers in a row, and achieved 17 consecutive victories in the opening game. It is currently the only team in the league that has not been defeated.

Such a strong force made the outside world have to exclaim, "Who can stop the Magic?"

To say that this call was actually made last season when the Magic had a strong winning streak, but this season's Magic, to the outside world, is obviously more mature than before.

Although Li Chengming's scoring this season has dropped compared to last season, less than 20 points, he currently averages 12.3 assists per game, ranking first in the league in assists; Howard dominates rebounds and blocks, and Turkoglu averages 17.9. points to become the leader in the sixth man position.

The Magic currently ranks first in the league in overall offensive efficiency, second in defensive efficiency, and also ranks first in the league in net points per game, and even created a season's largest win margin of 51 points.

And there is another reason for the media to create such a momentum, because it is a new month, on Monday, December 12st, the Magic's first game in December will come to Boston to challenge the old opponent Green Kai in the Eastern Conference Finals.

At present, the Green Kai has 16 wins and 2 losses. With one more game, it is second only to the Magic in the Eastern Conference. This is almost like a repeat of last season, except that the Green Kai was the first and the Magic was the second. .

As the team with the highest defensive efficiency in the league, the Green Kay is still the most likely team in the East to challenge the Magic's dominance in the East.

In addition, there are the Lakers and Spurs in the West. Judging from the current situation, the situation of this season may still be that these four teams will turn around. Of course, it is not ruled out that there will be teams from behind. After all, there are still possible trades in the middle of the season. , Just like the Lakers last season.

The potential of many teams in the West is still good, such as the Nuggets.

"Hello, audience friends, today we still bring you the new NBA regular season, the Magic team game, this time they will play against the Green Kai, the two teams seem to repeat last season's top spot competition this season, Is it possible for the Green Kai to give the Magic their first defeat of the season?"
