Chapter 175 Christmas, Battle the Lakers!(1/2)
After testing a few minutes ago, the Magic immediately tried out the depth of the Cavaliers' strength.
If the Cavaliers want to win, they are comparing the accuracy of their shooting.
If the touch feels good, you can play 55 with anyone. If the shooting feels bad, it is not a pity if you lose.
After all, the Cavaliers are entering the pace of reconstruction.
Soon, the Magic dominated both offense and defense.
Duncan beat Matt Harplin.
Hapurin was thrown out of the Magic in the first round in 1998.
The only highlight is that the shooting is very accurate, the defense is very bad, the air-removing inside line is very bad, and the physical rest is bad.
At this time, he and Big Z, a type of inside player, started together.
The Cavaliers' inside line is empty, with no strength at all, and at the same time, there is no protection for the basket.
Duncan and O'Neal Jr., catching the ball is a threat.
The breakthroughs of McGrady and Jackson from the outside easily broke through the Cavaliers' defense line.
Especially with the advantage of rebounding, the Magic's outside line can take action as you like.
After the start, the score was 32 to 22, and the Magic took a 10-point lead.
In the second quarter, Li Mu asked Duncan, O'Neal Jr., McGrady, and Jackson to continue playing.
Rotating Meyer Miller.
The game started and the Magic team directly crushed the lineup.
In the 4th minute of the second quarter, the Magic played a 13-5 shock wave and stopped the game directly.
Cavaliers head coach Randy Whitman is not Ultraman, he is just a sophomore rookie.
Calling a timeout can only prove that he is working hard, but the Cavaliers' cards are really not on the table, and there are not many people available, so he has no choice.
After all, those who can play and those who have high annual salary have already been replaced. His only goal is to train rookies.
Commonly known as data brushing.
Victory was never what he should consider.
After the first half of the game, the Magic have expanded the gap to 23 points.
In the second half, Li Mu asked Duncan to go down and rest.
O'Neal Jr. needs to practice more.
McGrady needs to compete for the scoring champion.
Jackson and others need to play and increase their experience.
Still can't stop it.
The strength of the lineup of both sides is not in the same dimension.
The game is one-sided.
Buzz ~~
With the sound of beeping, the game ended.
The score was 128 to 90, and the Magic defeated the Cavaliers by 38 points, regaining three consecutive victories.
McGrady scored 39 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds. She averaged 40+ per game in the last three games and was in a very hot state.
Duncan scored this score with 18 points and 9 rebounds in halftime.
Li Mu's mind has never been this game.
But the next Christmas war.
In Li Mu's previous life, the Christmas War in 2000.
The East is the Magic vs. the Pacers.
The West is the Lakers vs. the Trail Blazers.
With Li Mu's appearance, Duncan joined the Magic team, and the matchup changed.
Turned into Magic vs. Lakers, and Pacers vs. Trail Blazers.
Lakers!
Finally, I'm going to meet this opponent.
Li Mu was a little impatient.
...
To be honest, as an ex, Li Mu is most familiar with the Lakers.
However, in the 00/01 season, with head coach Phil Jackson taking over, the Lakers' lineup has been changed.
First, in the draft, he took off a 2.06 striker Mark Madson with the 29th pick.
Secondly, the Lakers and Billups completed a contract renewal in the offseason.
However, for this, there is no way to keep Glen Rice, the All-Star shooter.
AC Green saw that the Lakers were strong and strong, and he was in his grade, but he didn't want to retire early, so he chose to leave.
Phil Jackson immediately retrieved his former subordinate, veteran Ron Harper, and strengthened control of the locker room.
O'Neal is getting fatter and lazy, she is too short to be able to play center, so she found Cobra Hores Grant and served as a substitute for O'Neal.
Finally, the Lakers had unexpected surprises and were full of madness and bad deeds. The top star Isaiah Laidel came to shoot in the 1990s.
At this time, the Lakers gathered a luxurious 14-man lineup.
Center: Shaquille O'Neal, Hores Grant.
Power forwards: Ben Wallace, Robert Horry, Mark Madson.
Small forwards: Bruce Bowen, Rick Fox, Rashad Lewis.
Points: Kobe Bryant, Manuginobili, Isialedel.
Point Guards: Chauncey Billups, Derek Fisher, Ron Harper.
Li Mu looked at the information on the lineup list with a complicated expression, 5 minutes later.
Found no.
There is no flaw in defeating the Lakers.
It seems that we can only play with the Lakers with a learning attitude and see how far the Magic team is now is.
...
December 25, Staples Center Staples Stadium, Los Angeles.
At this time, in the arena, Li Mu walked out with cheers.
He waved his hand to respond to the fans' blessings, and then received his own championship ring.
I greeted the Lakers' iron team one by one, shook hands and hugged each other, and immediately returned to the Magic's base camp.
McGrady then chatted with Kobe.
O'Neal and Grant originally wanted to talk to their old teammates of the Magic, but found that the Magic's lineup had changed a lot, and the teammates who used to fight with him had all left the ball.
OK.
This is also easy.
During the warm-up, the starting lineup of the two sides tonight was also played on the big screen of the stadium.
The Magic starters are five, McGrady, Jackson, Hill, Duncan, and O'Neal Jr.
The Lakers start the five Tigers, Billups, Kobe, Lewis, Big Ben, and O'Neal.
On the commentary stage, TNT Radio broadcast live, Barkley and Kenny Smith partnered with commentary.
"The Lakers started the five tigers, and they only made a change when they coached by Li Mu last season.
Bowen was sent to the substitute.
His offense is too bad, and his passing organization is really average.
The defense is excellent, but teammates need to assist in defense to show defensive efficiency.
O'Neal, Kobe, and Billups, the three core players can't move. Big Boss can be regarded as Rodman. The only one who can do surgery is Bowen."
"Phil Jackson needs to make his own mark and his own good tactics.
Changes in the lineup are inevitable,” Barkley explained professionally.

With the sound of a whistle, the basketball was thrown high into the sky.
