February 3.
As the Magic have achieved a record of 49 wins and 16 losses so far, this means that the Magic have only the last 17 games left this season.
However, at the beginning of the season, the Magic can be said to have taken advantage of the schedule.
So this also leads to the end of the season, not only will the Magic's schedule become very dense, but most of the opponents will be playoff-level teams.
And this will be a very difficult challenge for everyone who wants to break the team's historical record this season.
It's also very bad news.
On this day, the league ushered in a heavyweight game, and for the Magic, it was also a difficult game.
Because the Magic will sit in the Orlando Arena today and face the challenge of the league's No. [-] Los Angeles Lakers.
This game is also the second time the two teams have played against each other this season, and it is also the last time they have played against each other.
In the first match of this season, the lineup was not neat because the Magic lacked the titan Su Jiu at the time.
So in that national live broadcast, the Magic also lost miserably, being brutally massacred by the Lakers.
And after that game, the media gave the Magic a very bad evaluation, and even once thought that the Magic was flashy and it was difficult to succeed this season.
This also caused Stan Van Gundy to be depressed for a long time after that game.
After all, before the loss to the Lakers, the Magic were once the most promising team to win the championship this season.
So once the dream was broken by the Lakers, I have to say that this is definitely a nightmare for Stan Van Gundy.
As for the reunion of the two teams in this game, Stan Van Gundy also attaches great importance to this game.
Because the two teams have been sitting at the top of the East and West so far.
Even if they play well, the two teams are very likely to meet in the finals.
In the regular season, the Magic has already fallen behind, and even when it was broadcast live across the United States, it showed its face in a slaughtered way.
So for the last match between the two teams this time, Van Gundy can be said to be very important, although he does not have much confidence in this game.
The lineups of the two teams in this game are relatively neat, and there are no injuries.
From an objective point of view, this can be regarded as a fair competition.
Before the start of the game, the two sides were shooting warm-ups in their respective halfs, but one thing can be seen, whether it is the Magic team playing at home or the Lakers playing away.
The atmosphere of the players on both sides is relatively heavy, and there is no kind of joking and joking warm-up spirit at all.
Obviously, for this game, both sides are more important, and they both hope to win such a strong dialogue game.
"Su, after the game starts in a while, you pass me more penalty kicks today, and it's best to complete some alley-oop cooperation."
"Today I'm going to clean up that guy on the other side."
Before the game started, Howard also walked to Su Jiu's side, and said to Su Jiu with a playful smile.
"OK, of course no problem."
After hearing Howard's words, Su Jiu just smiled lightly, and agreed without any hesitation.
After all, although he is the starting point of holding the ball on the court, Howard is the boss of this team.
As for Howard's thoughts in this game, Su Jiu was not surprised at all.
Because in the last game lost to the Lakers, Howard also had some disputes with the Lakers' small shark Bynum.
Even after the game, the two had reached the point of spraying each other across the air.
And at the beginning of the season, Bynum, who had a big mouth, also mocked Howard's weakness many times, which also intensified the conflict between the two.
So for this fight, it is not only a revenge battle of the Magic, but also a game between Howard and Bynum.
After all, one of these two men is called the league's number one center forward, and the other is called a man with great potential.
Although Bynum has only contributed 14.6 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game due to personal injuries.
But Bynum's average playing time this season is only a short 28.6 minutes.
If it weren't for injuries, or converting this data to 36 minutes, then Bynum would definitely be able to contribute more power.
It can be said that the matchup between these two people at the basket can probably represent the matchup between the top centers of this era.
Charles Barkley: "Hey, everyone is welcome to watch this game. The Magic are at home to meet the challenge of the Los Angeles Lakers. I am your old friend Charles, and the person sitting next to me is my partner Kenny."
"To be honest, I am really looking forward to this game, and this game will also be broadcast live across the United States."
"Because these two teams are ranked first in the eastern and western rankings so far, in a sense, they can represent the strongest strength of the eastern and western regions."
"And it's worth mentioning that Kobe of the Lakers and Dwight of the Magic are also ranked second to third on the regular season MVP list."
"It can be said that the game between these two teams is definitely the top matchup in the current league."
"So Kenny, for these two teams, before the start, which team do you prefer to win this game?"
Hearing Charles Barkley's question, his partner Kenny Smith also smiled lightly, looked down at the notes in front of him, and then said a little relaxedly:
"I personally prefer that the Magic can win this game, because neither side has any injuries in this game, which can be said to be completely fair."
"But this game is still played at the home court of the Magic team after all, and the Magic team's home win rate this season is as high as 83.2%!!"
"You know, this is a very scary statistic, and Denver, which has been called the home of the devil this season, actually has a home winning percentage of only 73.1%."
"So even if the record of the Lakers is better than that of the Magic, and their recent performance is also slightly better, but for this game, I am still more optimistic about the Magic."
Under the mobilization of the on-site commentator, the atmosphere of the home court showed a slight difference before the start of the game.
In addition to the many fans of the Lakers and Magic this season, the matchup between Kobe and Iverson in this game is also very interesting.
After all, both of them are players known as the four major shooting guards. Although one is at the peak and the other has entered the end of his career, this still cannot resist the enthusiasm from the fans.
As the game is about to start, the two sides also announced the starting lineup for the game:
Magic:
Su Jiu, Iverson, Pietrus, Lewis, and Howard.
Lakers:
Fisher, Kobe, Ariza, Gasol, and Bynum.
It has been more than half a month since Lewis returned from injury, so Lewis was also recently mentioned by Van Gundy as the starting position.
However, what is different from the past is that due to the arrival of Iverson, the Magic's offensive firepower in the starting lineup can be said to be very sufficient.
Considering some deficiencies in the bench, Van Gundy also put Turkoglu on the bench so that he can drive the offense of the bench players.
And chose to continue to put Pietrus in the starting lineup, so that he can defend some sharp-edged figures on the opposite side.
In fact, in Stan Van Gundy's heart, what he hopes most is to be able to put Iverson on the bench.
If Iverson is used to fight bench gangsters, then this is definitely a big killer in the league! !
However, Iverson has his own arrogance. After a long period of communication between the two sides, Iverson is still unwilling to play as a substitute.
Therefore, Van Gundy can only send a lineup with two guns in the backcourt to fight.
But this game will become worse for Su Jiu, because Pietrus must defend Kobe alone, so once Pietrus chooses to defend Kobe, it is impossible for Iverson to defend Ariza.
In this case, Su Jiu can only be arranged to match up with Ariza on the defensive end and accommodate Iverson to defend Fisher.
Facing this kind of situation, Su Jiu has become a little used to it recently.
Because once encountering some special situations on the defensive end, Van Gundy will use Su Jiu to attack the thunder. After all, who made Iverson's height only 1.8 meters three.
So once Pietrus went to defend the sharp knife-level figure on the opposite side, then Su Jiu would be forced to defend at the small forward position.
In fact, facing a player like Ariza, Su Jiu felt relatively relaxed. After all, Ariza's offensive methods are insufficient, so it is really not difficult to defend him.
Just pay attention to his three-pointers in the bottom corners on both sides. After all, although Ariza is 94 meters tall, his weight is only [-] kilograms.
So Su Jiu wasn't afraid that Ariza would go to a low position to overpower him, because Ariza was really strong enough to overwhelm him in a low position.
But in the previous game against the Bobcats, Su Jiu was placed in a misplaced position to defend Wallace.
This made Su Jiu spit out a mouthful of old blood at that time, and even every time he remembered what happened in that game after the game, Su Jiu would feel his mother was wronged.
When the whole person was facing the wild Elvis Wallace who was a whole circle stronger than himself, Su Jiu just wanted to shout crazily in his heart:
"My mother, Ollie!!"
I will increase the number of updates starting tomorrow. I haven’t had any major health problems recently. I’m just waiting for the braces to be worn later. I just don’t know if wearing braces will be uncomfortable.
