Chapter 390 Fighting with Immortals
After a two-day break, the Magic flew to remote Texas to challenge the Mavericks, one of the Texas Three Heroes.

Garnett also ended his flu troubles and returned to the team in time.

In this way, the Magic will be able to make up a relatively normal starting lineup, and because Davis started instead of Iverson, the Magic's starting strength is even stronger than this season.

The core of the Mavericks, Hardaway and Hill are still on the rise. They performed better this season, and the Mavericks also strongly occupied the second place in the Western Conference.

Hardaway averaged 24 points, 6 rebounds and 9.1 assists per game, among which the number of assists hit a career high.

Hill's performance was better. He played the peak Bird-like data, averaging 25 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists per game, and he is also the one with the highest rebounds among all three positions in the league.

It may be inappropriate to say that Bird is at his peak. He should be playing at the peak of Garnett's data.

The Mavericks' breakthrough tactics specially formulated for two people can be called unsolvable.

In the absence of injuries, the two of them's attainments in breakthroughs are completely comparable to that of Jordan when he was young.

In addition, they are all players with extremely high ball quotient and a very wide passing vision. The Mavericks relied on this tactic to defeat most teams in the league.

And today, they finally ushered in a challenge. The league overlord, the Orlando Magic, is coming to test their quality.

Davis wanted to observe what the system told him about the peak performance of all the players yesterday, so after the start of the game, he was not in a hurry to perform, but watched how the other eight players performed on the field.

To be precise, it is the five Hall of Fame players Duncan, Garnett, Kobe, Hill and Hardaway.

And the few of them did not disappoint Davis.

Fans who watched the game felt that watching these two teams in this round was really the best choice they made this year.

But what they didn't know was that in other games, the fans at the scene thought the same way.

Hardaway and Hill feel that they are in an unprecedented state today.

DeWeese believes that these two people, like "Wind City Rose" Derrick Rose, have never really entered their peak period, and the only one who affects them to reach the peak is themselves.

I don’t need to go into too much detail about the level of the inside line composed of Duncan and Garnett, but Hardaway and Hill actually relied on their own breakthroughs to compete with these two.

Duncan and Garnett were a little exhausted facing the repeated bombing of the Gemini Stars, and they couldn't spare the energy to help the team on the offensive end.

But it doesn't matter, there is another person on the Magic team, and his name is——

Kobe Bryant!

Kobe, wearing the No. 8 jersey, completely played the feeling of the unstoppable No. 24 Kobe in the previous MVP season.

Davis always felt that Kobe was not at the peak of his personal skills during the 81-point dragon slaying period, but after that, Kobe seemed to have completely opened up the two veins of Ren and Du, and he could no longer find any shortcomings in the whole person.

Today, Kobe gave the fans an ultimate personal performance.

By the way, I forgot to say that during the offseason, the Mavericks signed Michael Finley from the Magic, who was their original historical choice, plus Jim Jackson, who can contribute 24+5 at the peak. It is not unreasonable for the Mavericks to be second only to the Spurs in the West.

However, when Jim Jackson faced Kobe, he was beaten into a sieve. . .

The feeling Kobe gave Jim Jackson today is exactly the same as that No. 23 in Chicago, with unsolvable post-ups, kaleidoscope-like offensive skills, and even the shooting posture is exactly the same.

In this attack, Kobe broke through Jim Jackson and went inside. After finishing the score with a reflexive folding dunk, Kobe had already scored his 11th point in the first quarter.

The Magic scored a total of 18 points after the opening game. Davis rarely scored, only 0 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists. Clay scored a three-pointer, and Duncan and Garnett shared the remaining 4 points.

The Mavericks continued their strong offensive firepower and scored 6 points in 16 minutes, only two points less than the Magic.

The cheers from the audience on the sidelines have never been heard, and such an intense and fast-paced game is exactly what they want to see.

As soon as Kobe successfully dunked, Hill drove straight in with the ball. After attracting the defensive attention of Duncan and Garnett, the ball was passed to Hardaway on the outside.

Hardaway continued to break through, but Clay failed to block the lightning-fast penny. Duncan and Garnett jumped again to interfere with Hardaway.

Hardaway still scored the ball, and Hill, who had come to the bottom line, easily hit a jumper without interference.

A typical outside cooperation between the twin stars.

The cooperation between the outside lines finally scores inside, which is the typical style of play of Hardaway and Hill's twin stars.

The speed of the two can easily support them to enter the opponent's penalty area, and through tacit cooperation, they can complete the scoring inside, or make a mid-range shot or dunk.

Relying on this goal, the Mavericks once again tied the score.

Although Kobe didn't directly ask for the ball from Davis, his eyes, and his dry lips pursed from time to time, all showed how strong his inner fighting spirit is now.

Therefore, the beauty of Davis, after directing the running position of his teammates, directly handed the ball to Kobe who is in a very good position.

Kobe took the ball in a three-threat position, and Derek Harper, who was defending Kobe, watched Kobe's every move nervously.

Then, when he saw Kobe, he regarded himself as nothing and jumped up.

"Pull me out?" Harper didn't think much, subconsciously jumped up and rushed forward.

Volute's picturesque jump shot was once again displayed in front of everyone, and Harper's hand also hit Kobe's arm.

But Kobe's shooting posture was not affected at all, and he still completed this shot with the most standard hand shape.

The ball was still in the air, and the referee's whistle had already sounded.

Everyone was staring at the ball tumbling in the air, wondering whether the result was three free throws or a wonderful 3+1.
The ball is hollow into the net!
The players on the Magic bench stood up and cheered for Bryant.

Kobe patted his chest, looking up to the sky with excitement.

Then, he ran back to the backcourt, ready to defend.

Davis was very satisfied with Kobe's attitude. He didn't relax in the slightest because he just scored a very wonderful goal. In terms of professional attitude, Kobe is undoubtedly a model for all NBA players.

The first quarter was spent in the confrontation between the two teams, but Davis didn't have the slightest worry.
