The competition pace is very fast, and both sides come and go.

The Hornets like to play fast, and the Magic are not afraid of playing fast.

With fast pace, both sides' defensive formations cannot gain a foothold. You can get offensive space. The Magic also has offensive space and use their physical talents.

To put it bluntly, the Hornets just care about their heads and butts.

On the field.

McGrady hit the basket with the ball, and made a gliding and dunking two points.

As the second scorer, David, the bearded, saw Kidd's defense shrink a bit.

A three-point jump shot made a hit.

Duncan leaned against Campbell, turned around and hooked, and easily entered the basket with a swish.

Marshburn relied on his strong body to break through Jackson's defense, made a layup, and made two points.

No one can do anything to the opponent at the beginning.

Li Mu's face was very calm.

When fighting against each other, the Magic team is not afraid of anyone.

Now it depends on who will last longer.

David Wesley made consecutive three-pointers, making 1 of 2 shots, continuing the Hornets' points.

Duncan and O'Neal Jr., played their inside and physical advantages, and played into the basket, and also scored frequently.

Soon, the gap in strength between the two sides began to become visible.

The Magic's single-handed challenge quality is much better than the Hornets'.

Moreover, the Hornets' single defense is not as strong as the Magic.

Especially in rebounding, Duncan and O'Neal Jr. are obviously superior in strength.

Add McGrady and Kidd, one is 2 meters 03, and the other is 1 meters 93.

David Welles is 1.80 meters tall, while Davis is only 1.91 meters tall.

While basketball is behind, the Magic will always play a defensive counterattack fast attack.

The Hornets couldn't stop it.

David Wesley was fast and fast, but he was not very useful when he came back.

If the counterattack comes out, it will be a situation where more fight less.

After the first quarter, the score was 35 to 29, and the Magic took a 6-point lead.

In the next quarter, Li Mu asked Kidd, Duncan, McGrady and O'Neal Jr. to continue playing.

Reed, who can shoot three points.

When you play in the playoffs, you will be competing for the hard power of the main players.

It is necessary to deal with the main force's homework.

Paul Silas also only changed one person, and replaced PJ Brown with Li Nailon.

As the second round of 1999, Li Nailong has good strength, averaged 8 points and 5 rebounds per game, and his peak level of 14 points and 5 rebounds is good.

The second quarter starts.

Davis broke through with the ball.

He has a strong physical talent, fast speed, strong physical strength, and good explosive power, and is not inferior to Kidd's talent at all.

After three years in the league, he has grown very fast and has a good combination of technology and body.

Kidd's defense is good. Facing a star player like Davis, who plays tough, has a skilled and physical fitness, it is also very difficult to defend.

In the face of physical confrontation, the basketball was also sent to the layup.

The first generation of bearded man beat him two points.

Magic offense.

Kidd made a three-point jump shot and missed the iron.

O'Neal Jr. grabbed the rebound, passed the ball and rushed out McGrady, and the Tomahawk dunked, and two points returned to his goodness.

Marshburn took McGrady's close-fitting defense, forced the way with his body, and made two-pointers by a quick stop and jump shot.

However, the Magic continued to make three-pointers.

Reed used the counter-run and cover to shake off David Wesley's defense, catch the ball, jump up, and use his left hand to block the attack...

Swish—!

The Magic Team was the upper hand.

This is why the Black Eight Miracle is very difficult.

The first-place team is generally a crushing team with the eighth-place team's lineup strength.

It is really difficult to reverse Black Eight.

At this time, the gap between the two sides began to widen gradually.

After 6 minutes of the second quarter, the score difference between the two sides had reached 10 points.

Li Mu started to substitution, replaced Tony Parker, Mageti and Maloyle.

The Magic's rotation lineup still has the upper hand.

At the end of the first half, the Magic have expanded the gap to 15 points.

After resting for 15 minutes, the second half of the fight changed sides.

Li Mu waved his hand and sent out the starting lineup.

Paul Silas also played all the cards without any reservation.

The third quarter game begins.

The Hornets are not willing to lose the game just now.

Davis took out his unique skills and fought back desperately.

Don't ask, asking is just a three-pointer.

When I came to the frontcourt, I went straight to the defense and pulled out my hand with three points.

Very unreasonable, and the blind Ji Ba beat him up.

However, hitting two consecutive three-pointers still scared the Magic players.

With a sharp breakthrough and an unreasonable three-pointer, Davis made the superstar performance.

It's just a pity that the Hornets are not enough to compete with the Magic for superstars.

Duncan, McGrady, Kidd and O'Neal, who was in the explosive growth period, all have the strength to decide the outcome of the game.

David Wellis also fought for three points.

The Hornets' double-gun in the backcourt, and the three-point efficiency is not high.

After the first three quarters, the Magic had already scored a point difference widened to 21 points.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Hornets did not want to give up this game.

There is no Rao Zeng to play against the Magic. You must fight every game to win.

The Hornets wanted to fight, but Li Mu did not retreat and continued to put the main force on the field.

Work together to easily block the Hornets' counterattack.

The score difference continues to widen.

Both sides are not on the same level at all.

Buzz ~

With the sound of beeping, the game ended.

The score was 118 to 95, and the Magic defeated the Hornets 23 points, leading by 1-0 in the first round of the series.

Kidd performed well, scoring 15 points, 11 assists and 8 rebounds, and performing in a quasi-double triple-double.

Duncan scored 25 points and 13 rebounds, making a lot of stability.

McGrady scored 23 points and 5 rebounds, and her performance was normal, but it was enough.

O'Neal Jr., Jackson and Reed... all performed well.

Davis, David Wellis and Marshburn, the trident, joined forces to score 59 points.

In other positions, there were no outstanding surprises, and the Hornets lost unjustly.
