Basketball League of Legends

Chapter 122 The Second Battle

At the beginning of the second half, Jonny did not continue to play. He really needed to rest after playing the full first half, but Jonny did not expect such a rest to rest until the end of the game.

It turned out that the Hornets couldn't hold on anymore. In the first half, defending Johnny consumed most of their energy. In the second half, Anfernee Hardaway, who had been performing tepidly, began to go berserk. In addition, Dennis Scott With the addition of new forces such as Daryl Armstrong and Darryl Armstrong, the Magic defeated the Hornets in one fell swoop in the third quarter, and Jonny won the game without leaving the field in the second half.

Jonny was a little surprised to win the game so easily. Is this the playoffs?Johnny felt that this game was too easy to win, and it didn't look like the playoffs he imagined.The playoffs he imagined were very intense games where it was hard to tell the winner until the last moment.

When leaving the field, Jonny and Glen Rice greeted each other with ill intentions, and said softly: "We only need 3 games to finish you." Lenley was furious.

"There are 3 games left! It's not certain who will win!" Johnny turned and left, leaving only Glen Rice's powerless clamor.

His clamor was indeed weak. After all, the Hornets lost by 27 points in this game. This kind of score can be called a sling. It is impossible to make a comeback in the next game, at least from the surface.

In this game, Jonny only played half of the game and scored 19 points, plus 3 rebounds and 6 assists, which is very efficient.The best performer in the Magic team is Anfernee Hardaway. He played in three quarters and scored 28 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, a quasi-triple-double.The best performer on the Hornets side was Glen Rice. He played more than three quarters and scored 27 points. His scoring was higher than that of Jonny, but his shooting percentage was far lower than that of Jonny.

The Magic's big victory in this game also made the media one-sided. They were more optimistic about the Magic. Now that the Magic beat the Hornets at their home court, there is no need to say anything more about this situation. The Magic will definitely advance !This was a headline that appeared in many magazines and newspapers. In their view, there was no suspense about the promotion of the Magic.

And before the start of the series, the Hornets shouted four games to solve the Magic, and now it is regarded as a joke, four games?Can the Hornets win three games in a row and eliminate the Magic?No matter how you look at it, it is impossible.

The Magic easily decided the winner, but the duel between the Bulls and the Bullets was not as easy as imagined. The Bullets fought tenaciously until the last moment, and finally lost by 8 points.In the West, the Supersonics easily defeated the Timberwolves, and the Lakers faced the Trail Blazers. The process was a bit difficult, but in the end the Lakers won the game.The first game of the first round of the playoffs was all over, and all the teams in the upper half won.

The Magic rested in Orlando for a day, and then welcomed the Hornets at home again the next day. Before this game, the Hornets were quiet. They didn’t shout any more rhetoric. Perhaps it was the disastrous defeat in the first game that stimulated them. In the Amway Arena, this group of Hornets players looked icy.

The Magic players are very relaxed. The media has been saying for the past two days that the Magic must win, that the Magic has advanced ahead of schedule, and so on. The Magic have long since stopped worrying about their promotion.And Rich Adubatu also began to smile after the last game. He always felt that he had chosen the wrong opponent before, but the violent victory in the last game made Rich Adubatu feel that his opponent chose the wrong opponent again. correct.

The game continued to be played at the Amway Arena. In 1997, the first round of the NBA still had 5 games, 3 wins and 2 losses. Such a game system was very unfavorable to the side with a poor record in the regular season, and this game continued to be CCA- The live broadcast arranged by V, the last live broadcast of the Magic against the Hornets, allowed CCA-V to gain a super high ratings, and a large number of Johnny fans poured in, which gave CCA-V a taste of the sweetness and started a never-ending live broadcast Magic game up.

"Hi everyone, I'm NBC commentator Craig Sager. I'm happy to comment on Game [-] of the Eastern Conference's first-round playoffs between the Magic and the Hornets. I'm with my partner Kevin Harlan. The game is fast. It's about to start" and in the US, people are watching NBC to watch the game.For this game, NBC once again sent the commentary combination of Craig Sager and Kevin Harlan.

"This is the second game of the series between the Magic and the Hornets. In the first game that ended the day before yesterday, the Magic beat the Hornets by a big score, showing the huge gap between the two teams. The Hornets have little hope in this game. But for the sake of hoping to see a wonderful game, we still hope that the Hornets can come up with something different."

The game on the field has already started, and Anfernee Hardaway is wandering outside the three-point line with the ball.

And Jonny looked at the player defending him in front of him, a little stunned.The Hornets changed to defend Johnny again. Tony Smith, the small guard who defended Johnny in the regular season, came to defend Johnny again. It seemed to learn the lesson of the previous game. Compared to Raphael Addison the day before yesterday, Tony Smith was a little more flexible.

And Tony Smith, who is more flexible, marks Johnny with an obvious purpose, which is to follow Johnny all the time, compress Johnny's space, and make it difficult for Johnny to catch the ball or shoot.

However, after training in the last game, Jonny has gradually become familiar with the confrontation in the playoffs. Although Jonny, whose body has been strengthened, faced the aggressive defense of the short Tony Smith, although he was still a little uncomfortable, he performed It's already very good, at least it's a lot better than the last game.

The Magic's offense is very resolute, and the success of the last game allowed the Magic to continue to implement the policy of the previous game.But at the beginning of the game, Jonny found that Tony Smith seemed to be a little too hard, and his whole body was attached to himself, and Jonny found it difficult for him to catch the ball.

However, Jonny has gradually adapted to this high-intensity confrontation. Jonny squeezed hard, and then quickly flew back to run, just like this, getting rid of Tony Smith and gaining space to catch the ball.But Tony Smith's reaction was also quick, and he rushed over quickly.

Jonny seemed to have guessed that Tony Smith would come over again. He turned around and dribbled the ball behind his back, then turned around 360 degrees and passed Tony Smith. Remember the mid-range jumper and hit it successfully!
"Jony Lee's mid-range shot went in, and Tony Smith was already doing his best to defend, but unfortunately, Jonny Lee is too buggy!"

And after Johnny scored this goal, he turned around to defend. The Magic's victory in the last game actually relied on their defense. On the offensive end, they relied too much on Johnny's performance. On the defensive end, they defended Several arrow figures of opponents.

But this time, the Magic felt something different. The Hornets played this wave of offense very resolutely. The ball turned around and passed into the hands of Glenn Rice. Lenlais' shot was very resolute, and this goal was actually scored!
The Magic immediately smelled an indescribable smell, it seems that this game will not be as simple as the last game.
