The past January has been perfect for Legend and Xiaoai, thank you everyone!Ask for recommendation tickets and guaranteed monthly tickets!

"Haha, haha, I knew it, I knew it, Wood must be able to do it, you are not mistaken, yes he did it again, this is an opportunity for absolutely perfect tactical coordination, look at this running position, really It’s great. Continuous screens create everything. This is a product of the team. Although it doesn’t look perfect and less heroic than the previous singles lore, it’s still undeniable that this is a good result. A born big heart led by Wood Lin Orlando took away the victory under the eyes of the Los Angeles people. "Back to the past as a star latest chapter" Charles Barkley laughed exaggeratedly.

Barkley's exaggerated expression was in stark contrast to the expressions of the Lakers fans on the field. Kobe, who was at the top of the arc, looked at Lin Sen, who was hugged by his teammates and celebrated with his hands on his hips.

He has been waiting for three seasons after leaving that big fat man. He didn't want to bear the name of that damned second-in-command. Now that he has finally welcomed a strong teammate, he wants to start his new season with a good start. Unexpectedly, is the result.

But fortunately, just losing the first game of the new season will not affect the team's entire season, let alone his desire to win the championship.

Kobe shook his head and glanced at his wife Vanessa and his beloved daughter sitting on the sidelines, then turned and walked to the bench.

"The result was disappointing for the Los Angeles Lakers, but for the fans, this was a wonderful game, and it also let both sides know where they should improve. This is just the beginning of the long journey of 82 games in the regular season. Well, every subsequent game is important." Kenny Smith concluded.

"Well, Kenny, I admit that you are right. This is just the beginning of the new season, but I think this game must have attracted the attention of many teams, such as Houston, Boston, and of course San Antonio and Cleveland. This game is I have a key observation of the team, as far as I am concerned, Orlando should play better and feel more in this game. We can obviously feel that the entire team in Orlando is operating much better than last season, of course not only It's just the arrangement of the last key ball, which is completely different from last season's offensive methods that relied more on Wood's far from enough methods to score points in singles.

Of course, I want to know what the coaching staff thinks when they see Wood's mid-range shooting in the game, haha, wow.Wood walked to the sidelines as he appeared to greet his rumored girlfriends. "Charles Barkley looked at the sidelines and said.

The reporters in the media area couldn't wait to raise their cameras.This is undoubtedly an added bonus for them.

But Lin Sen let them down, because Lin Sen just said a few words and left.

"I bet it won't be that simple, we follow them and get what we want."

"I think so too. Some time ago in Hong Kong we could only listen to other people's reports and didn't know the specifics of the situation. That situation is really shit. Think about Natalie Portman being pregnant and Wood Tower looking for it Other women, if we catch real evidence, we will definitely be able to fire."

"Yes, without a doubt."

The reporters in the media area made up their minds to follow up, but in the end they were disappointed because Lin Sen didn't leave the hotel at all until the team left Los Angeles and returned to Orlando.

This battle of focus has left fans with endless aftertaste, and the players on both sides also did not let the topic end.

Kobe Bryant, who scored the highest score of 40 points in 47 minutes of the game, said in an interview with reporters in the locker room after the game: "Wood played a good game. They won the game, but it was only temporary. , and next time I'm in Orlando, I'll hit him back."

At the same time, Kobe also expressed his dissatisfaction with the poor starting center Anzu Bynum: "I think he is not young, he should learn how to face the game and face his emotions. What the team needs is help, not a burden. "

Kobe also responded to his 36 shots and only hit 15 goals: "If possible, no one wants to take so many shots, and no one wants to play for so long. My touch is a bit defensive. Not good, but I still had to shoot the ball even then, but we're just getting started and everything will be fine."

The most exciting thing is that after the game, the general manager of the team, Mitch Kupchak, once again expressed that he wanted to trade Anzu Bynum to bring in players who are more suitable for the team, but Kupchak denied it afterwards. this statement.

As the victor, the Orlando Magic is in a good mood. Although Ron Artest, the beast who joined the Orlando Magic through a trade during the offseason, his status in the Magic is now lower than when he was in the Kings.From the team boss to the fourth, but it is undeniable that he is the key to the Magic's internal and external defense.

In the game against the Lakers, everyone can see the huge role he played. The different defensive styles of him and Battier are undoubtedly one of the important reasons why Kobe hit the iron 21 times in the game.

阿泰斯特虽然全场仅仅出手9次,但也拿到了13分同时还贡献了4个篮板4次助攻3次抢断,无疑他也是魔术赢得揭幕战的功臣。

So Artest was in a good mood. Facing the interview with reporters, he said with some exaggeration: "There is no doubt that Wood is an important reason for me to come to Orlando. On this point, I and Dikembe, Chauncey, Sean, Sam, and Eddie, who are also newcomers to Orlando, have the same idea. This game has proved this point. He is an excellent guy. We old guys are willing to revolve around him, and this One game is a good result. He told us with a big heart that he deserves our sacrifices for him. No one likes to lose. We can make sacrifices in order to win. We won the Lakers. They are a strong opponent. This is We're starting the season with confidence in every game we're going to play, and the O'Brien Cup is the goal and only goal for Orlando."

And Lin Sen, who completed the three-pointer at the buzzer, is naturally the target of reporters. In the locker room, Lin Sen did not shy away from expressing his expectations for the new season: "We were not favored last season, but we did a lot. We fought to the end for things that people can't even imagine, and we have prepared a lot for the new season, and we can't think of any goal that we should pursue except for the championship."

Orlando Multimedia praised their team players, and they highly praised Orlando from the management to the coaching staff to the players.

"Ron + Sean = The Grave of the Forward Superstar" - this is the news headline of "Yahoo Sports", the content summarizes the game between the Lakers and the Magic, and mainly emphasizes the possession of Artest and Battier. The horror of the Magic's defensive end at the two positions of the forward and the guard, and the analysis through Kobe's 21 strikes.Especially at the last moment, Battier's key block was the key to Lin Sen's final unpressured three-point lore. Yahoo Sports believes that any forward and guard player will face a huge test when they encounter the Magic this season.

"The evolutionary version of Wood is still shining, he can make the league tremble with his mid-range" - this is an article in the "Orlando Sentinel".

"47 lost to 35.Efficiency is king.The Black Mamba is still lonely" - "USA Today", "USA Today" analyzed the opening game from the efficiency of the two leading stars Kobe and Lin Sen.

The media, large and small, have paid a lot of attention to this battle of focus, and it has also made other teams feel the difference of the new Magic.

Teams with championship aspirations immediately analyzed the game.Such tricks scare them, and they know it's not the best trick.

"Although he scored the Magic's highest score of 35 points, he only took 19 shots and hit 14 of them. Let's see how he got his 35 points. Among them, there were 11 mid-range shots and hit them. 7, 5 out of 4 out of 4 from the basket and throwing shots, 3 out of 4-pointers, 4 out of free throws and [-] out of [-] free throws. From the data point of view, this is an extremely high The efficiency, and three-pointers and breakthroughs were his main offensive methods last season, but everyone also saw that his three-pointers were few and rational in this game, far less crazy than last season. The breakthroughs have also decreased a lot , but this is not the focus of our research today, the focus is on the middle distance to see how and where he shoots." Doug Rivers said, pointing to the screen.

This is the second day of the Magic and the Lakers. They are in the tactics room of the Boston Celtics. They need to play against the Washington Wizards in the evening. However, the Celtics did not make targeted arrangements for the Wizards.Instead, he paid special attention to magic.

The TV screen showed a replay of Linsen's 11 mid-range shots, especially the goal shot: "Look, there are turn-up jumpers and step-backs and catch-and-shoots after going around screens, including spot-ups, I think. Everyone can see that. Last season's statistics show that during the regular season, he averaged less than 2 mid-range shots per game, and it only increased by nearly 4 times in the finals, but this is very different from the 11 shots in this game. The difference, what does this mean?"

Doug Rivers looked at his players: "This shows that he has strengthened his mid-range shooting training during the offseason and achieved good results. At least in terms of confidence, he has confidence. It's scary, and I think every one of us is familiar with him, especially KG."

Garnett nodded: "Yes, this guy is very unique. He looks terrible off the court. He has been called a playboy and has a lot of scandals, but he is indeed an extremely difficult guy on the court, and he actually trains very hard. But when he was in Timberwolves last season, he also practiced mid-range, but the effect was not good until later on."

"Oh, later?" Rivers became interested.

"Yes, it was a guy named Ruth Edison. He used science and technology to analyze Wood's shooting and then gave an improvement plan. I still remember that the effect was the game against the Spurs when I was absent. Yes. That’s right, this company made the analysis of bounce, strength and air suspension during dunk replays in the game we watched yesterday, and Howard’s free throws were a little better yesterday, and it’s said to be the same.”

Garnett's explanation made Doug Rivers frown: "Anyway, his mid-range shooting can be regarded as practiced. If there are more mid-range shots, our defense will change. Let's look at the Magic. Defensive..."

Not only the Celtics focused on the analysis of the Magic, but the Spurs, Cavaliers, Rockets and the failed Lakers were all analyzing last night's Magic.

Lin Sen, who can only make three-pointers and breakthroughs, is enough to make every team depressed, not to mention Lin Sen, who can shoot mid-range shots. After returning to Orlando, Lin Sen got into the water house after resting at home for a few hours The center started special training.

It wasn't a team practice, but quite a few people came.

"Don't move your footsteps casually, yes, keep your arms all the time, just block his eyes, don't try to block the shots." Sean Battier is standing on the sidelines at the moment and is defending Bilu Linson of Puth said.

"Sean. In fact, if Wood is stronger physically, he can learn my defensive style, and I have seen him in previous games. He is very keen on physical confrontation, even if he was weak last season." Beside Battier Artest smiled and said, "By the way, especially his little moves. He is not a good boy. Only the old man David Stern would think so."

"Hey, Ron, you are slandering me." Lin Sen said with a smile on the field.

Lin Sen not only has to practice defense with Battier and Artest, but also with Billups.Billups is a seriously underestimated player in the league. The defensive end is absolutely top-notch in the league at the guard position: he has poor eyesight, ruthless strikes, jumps high, runs fast, and has a strong body.

On the offensive end, Lin Sen mainly learns from Billups and Sam Cassell.

Chauncey Billups is a person who knows how to use his own advantages to attack the enemy. When the opponent is shorter than him, he will use his physical advantage to overpower the opponent; and when the opponent is strong but not fast enough Against opponents, his speed advantage can be displayed to the fullest.

And what he is best at in offense is to force his shots.And this trick has been tried and tested repeatedly, but what Lin Sen focuses on is the help Billups gave his teammates in the game. Even Billups averaged the most assists per game this season, only 8.6 times, and most of the time it was around 7 times. Although Lin Sen averaged 10.7 assists per game in his rookie season, it was only a high number.

Billups has a high pass success rate, very few turnovers, and his teammates can play better.Compared with Billups, Lin Sen still has a lot to learn.

As for the alien Sam Cassell, Garnett once told him that he wanted Cassell to teach Linsen after Linsen played against the Clippers when he was still in the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Cassel's physical fitness is probably only average or even low in the NBA, and his offensive options are mostly mid-to-long-range jump shots. Back then, Kassel said, "The only one who can shoot me in the half-court is Jordan." In the Timberwolves, he relied on Kg's gear split and splitting the ball, as well as his own grasp of the timing of the emergency stop jump shot.When breaking through, it mainly depends on rhythm rather than speed.

In addition, Kassel's thin body has considerable achievements in post-up singles in the low post, and this is what Lin Sen wants to learn. Compared with Kassel, his physical fitness is much better, whether it is speed or strength.

If these defenses and offenses can be learned, Lin Sen's horror can be imagined, but Lin Sen also knows that he wants to learn these things not overnight, and it takes a long time to practice slowly.

That's why Lin Sen asked them to teach him, and today should have been a break for Magic.

But none of them refused Lin Sen's request, but they were very happy. Apart from Lin Sen's promise to invite them to dinner and maintain the stability of the team for the sake of integrating into the new team, the most important point is to see Lin Sen's enthusiasm for learning. With great enthusiasm, they saw a bright future for Magic in Lin Sen.

It is very important for a team to go far as a leader. No matter what role they played in the original team, they know that after the Magic they can play as a helper Lin Sen is the leader, so Lin Sen's attitude makes them feel satisfied. I really want to help Lin Sen.

Due to Lin Sen's enthusiasm, Dwight Howard and Darko Milicic also consciously asked for additional training. Dikembe Mutombo, Ewing, and Chris Webber also came to the arena. At this moment, they Just the other half.

This situation directly led to the whole team giving up a precious day off and coming to the arena for extra training.

"I am full of confidence in us, united, confident, capable, and have a unified goal. I think if the team loses, it is because we didn't work hard enough." Stan Van Gundy said with a smile.

The coaching staff did not rest, and when they came to the arena, they were very pleased to see that the players were consciously training more.

Although the Magic won the first game and played well, it was far from good and could not be improved. Although the circle tactics were not used much in the game, the effect was good, and more importantly, Lin Sen The middle distance makes them very excited.

Although Linsen has shown improvement during training and preseason, it is completely different from what he showed in the regular season and faced the powerful opponents of the Lakers. The entire coaching staff decided to strengthen the development of Linsen's mid-range tactics.

In the evening, the Magic team came to Lin Sen's villa in Orlando at the invitation of Lin Sen. Carolina and Lin Sen served as the chefs, and Natalie Portman, who was five months pregnant, also helped. .

"Wood. This guy really knows how to enjoy himself, but today we are blessed." Dwight Howard said with a grin, and Anche Brown opened the iron gate of the villa for them. Several paparazzi squat there all year round.

"How can Natalie serve us, Wood, you don't cherish it." Artest prepared the gold kitchen to see how Lin Sen cooked.When he saw that Natalie Portman, a pregnant woman, was also helping out, he immediately disagreed.

"You guys. How can you ask Natalie to help, let's help together." Artest shouted at his teammates who were playing in the living room.

Hearing Artest's shout, they ran over one by one, "That's right. Wood, how can you ask Natalie to help." Stan Van Gundy also echoed.

"Yes, if you go out, we can help, and we will pay the bill." Howard said with a smile, "Wood, what should we do!"

Seeing everyone wanting to help Lin Sen felt a little helpless: "Then you go out and have a good rest, if you don't go out again, I will probably be scolded to death."

Natalie Portman nodded and turned to Lin Sen's teammates and coach with a smile and said, "Then I thank you all."

In the end, a group of people left Billups and Cassell to help after guessing, and Howard clamored to help, Billups and Cassell were considered to be helping.Howard was just playing around, but in the end he made a big table of delicious Chinese food.

Although it was just a simple gathering, Lin Sen's actions undoubtedly improved the unity of the team.

The "Orlando Sentinel" also praised Lin Sen's behavior, thinking that this is his progress towards a perfect team leader.

After dinner that night, Lin Sen and his teammates cleared the table and did not leave. Instead, they watched the nationally broadcasted Texas Civil War between the Houston Rockets and the Dallas Mavericks at Lin Sen's home.

The Dallas Mavericks suffered a black eight last year, and Nowitzki became the most tragic regular season mvp winner, and the Mavericks did not have any major reinforcement measures during the offseason, except for the 5-year 4500 extension of the outstanding guard In addition to Devin Harris and the three-year 3 million renewal veteran Jerry Stackhouse, Eddie House was acquired from the Magic trade.

On the other hand, the Rockets are constantly making big moves.Not only did Juwan Howard be sent to the Timberwolves before the offseason started in exchange for Mike James, who had played for the team, but he also signed Rashad Lewis with a five-year, 5 million contract.

In addition, he signed the former Rockets icon Francis with almost the basic salary of a veteran. You must know that Francis could contribute 14 points last season. In order to return to the original Rockets, Francis even rejected the Clippers' three-year 3 million offer. big contract.

The biggest achievement is undoubtedly the exchange of the European Kobe Spanoulis who failed to integrate into the NBA from the Spurs to the Argentine power forward Luis Scola. Originally, this deal was not favored by others, but it turned out that this deal was exceptionally good .Scola shocked everyone at the US Championships in the summer and eventually led Argentina to the Olympics while winning the best player himself.

In addition to making room for Lewis, the Rockets traded Battier to the Rockets for Tony Batty and a protected first-round pick that the Magic got from the Kings.

Coupled with the small guard Brooks and power forward Landry in the draft, the Rockets suddenly became one of the most competitive teams in the West, and this game also became a national live broadcast.

"Houston is really tough." Billups said with emotion.

"With Rashad Lewis, the offensive pressure on Yao and t-mac has been reduced all of a sudden, especially Yao's inside containment and t-mac's outside containment have given Rashad Lewis a lot of offensive opportunities." Stan Van Gundy Then he said.

The feelings of Jeff Van Gundy, assistant coach Thibodeau and Sean Battier who played for the Rockets last season are even more obvious.

On the contrary, the Mavericks still rely more on Nowitzki, even though the Mavericks still have Josh Howard, Jason Terry and Devin Harris, but they are still a bit worse than the Rockets.

The Mavericks, who persisted for three quarters, were crushed by the new Rockets in the fourth quarter. In the end, the Rockets defeated the Mavericks by a big score of 112:98.

"Houston will be our strongest opponent!" Jeff Van Gundy said seriously.

"There are insiders, outsiders and substitutes. The only weakness is that the defense is a little bit worse." Thibodeau said seriously. Watching this game also let the Magic know that they need to work harder to achieve their goals.

The main opponents of the Magic on the same day are the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics. The Cavaliers who signed Mike Bibby also made a good start to the new season at home. New aid Mike Bibby even contributed 18 points The double-double of 11 assists perfectly revitalized the team and made the Cleveland people very satisfied.

The Celtics, who shocked the league's Super Big Three, faced the Wizards of the Washington Three Musketeers, proving the terrifying strength of the Big Three.

Garnett, Pierce and Ray Allen scored a total of 88 points, 27 rebounds and 14 assists. The Super Big Three completely dominated the game and defeated the three musketeers of Arenas, Jamison and Butler. .

Except for the Lakers losing to the Magic.The Magic, Spurs, Rockets, Celtics, and Cavaliers have all won the championship, and all of them are hearty victories, showing their superior strength. Just at the beginning of the new season, they are separated from other teams. up and down.

"Championship, dinner for six teams" - this is the title of the "espn" summary article after the first game of each team in the new season.

Although some teams are unwilling to admit it, such as the Mavericks, this is indeed an indisputable fact.

Competitors have shown a good state and stimulated the Magic's efforts, and the Magic's next schedule is not difficult.The next day, the Magic ushered in the Milwaukee Bucks game at home.The game was named the China Derby by the Chinese media, and the Milwaukee Bucks, who wanted to return to the playoffs, did not take away the victory at the Waterhouse Center.

The Orlando Magic led by Lin Sen expanded their lead to 22 points in just one first half, and the game entered garbage time with 4 minutes left in the third quarter.

The United Arab Emirates, which had high hopes from the Chinese media and the people of Milwaukee, scored only six points in its debut.Lin Sen scored 12 points in just 23 shots.

In the end, the Magic defeated the Bucks 123:88 at home. A 35-point massacre made the Milwaukee people see the cruelty of reality.

Then the Magic started their first three-game winning streak in the new season. They went to the Charlotte Bobcats, Miami Heat and Atlanta Hawks respectively.

And Lin Sen also won the Eastern Conference Player of the Week in the first week by virtue of his outstanding performance against the Lakers, Bucks and Bobcats in the first week of the new season. In these three games, Lin Sen averaged 28 points per game. The 28 points in the Eastern Conference are inferior to James who also led the team to win all three games in the first three games. In addition, Linson can contribute 9.33 assists, 3.33 steals and 5 rebounds per game, but this is not Linsen's victory over James. Best reason.

因为林森第一周的命中率达到了恐怖的72.2%。三分命中率也达到了恐怖的65%,罚球命中率更是15罚15中的100%。

It was this kind of shooting percentage that allowed Lin Sen to beat James, who performed equally well, to win the Eastern Conference Player of the Week in the first week, while the Western Conference Player of the Week was taken away by Yao Ming, who averaged 26 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks per game. .

"Hot Wood. Lin" - this is the title of the homepage of the nba official website, and the accompanying picture is the picture of Lin Sen lore defeating the Lakers.

Of course, Lin Sen's shooting rate cannot always be so accurate. As the game progresses, Lin Sen's touch has declined, but it is still at a very high level. .That is to say, the six teams that are considered most likely to win the championship, except for the opening game against the Lakers, are the away game against the Boston Celtics on November 11 and the Cleveland Cavaliers at home in the second back-to-back game on November 25.

Stimulated by strong opponents, the Magic, which has won five consecutive victories, has continued to win against all opponents. It has also become the first team in the league to reach 10 consecutive victories in the new season, and it is also the only one in the league. Keep the winning team.

Although several major competitors have strong opponents, the strength of the Magic still makes other teams feel scared.

But on November 11th.The Orlando Magic came to Utah after defeating the Portland Trail Blazers.

The Utah Magic encountered the biggest trouble in the new season after the Los Angeles Lakers. Lin Sen lost the data in the dialogue with Deron Williams. Lin Sen only scored 24 points and 8 assists, while Deron Williams James scored 28 points and 12 assists, and also scored his first game of the season with a shooting percentage below 50.00%.

But the Magic still had the last laugh. With 2 minutes left in the game when the team trailed the Jazz by 2 points, Lin Sen completed a two-plus-one overtake under the defense of Deron. Then Artest's steal and fast break dunk succeeded to help the Magic widen the point difference. In the end, the Magic also defeated the Jazz with these two key attacks and extended the winning streak to 11 games.

The Magic flew from Utah to Linsen's old club Minnesota that night, because the Magic needed to usher in the second game of the first back-to-back game of the new season to challenge the Timberwolves.

Lin Sen, who did not perform very well in Utah, faced his old club and scored 30 points for the fourth time in a single game with more than 32 points in the new season. Lin Sen only took 13 shots to get this data.

The fans at the Target Center cheered Lin Sen almost all the way. People who didn't know thought this was the home court of the Magic. This was undoubtedly a slap in the face of the Timberwolves uniform team.

After defeating the Timberwolves, the Magic immediately flew back to Orlando to meet the challenge of the Chicago Bulls. The Bulls, who entered the Eastern Conference semifinals last season and also had goals in the new season, were given high hopes by the Chicago media to end the Magic's 12-game winning streak.

But in the end, the Magic relied on 8 players to score in double figures and defeated the menacing Chicago Bulls with 18 points at home, achieving 13 consecutive victories and continuing to lead the league.

"They're hard to beat, but we'll find a way," Bulls coach Skiles said after the game.

After this game, the Orlando Magic will usher in the Boston Celtics, the most powerful opponent of the new season after the Los Angeles Lakers, one day later.
