Li Ang looked at Ben, who was wearing the blue jersey of the Magic, and felt that his shooting guard career might still be salvageable.

With my senior brother in this game, how easy is it to be the rebounding leader?

If he wants to become the rebounding king, Li Ang's rebound number today cannot be lower than that of a man who doesn't know how old he is.

"Junior brother, master, we meet again. We are all on our own, so I will get straight to the point. Today, don't go into the restricted area if you have nothing to do!"

Da Ben came up to greet Li Ang and Oakley. When he spoke, he deliberately kept a certain distance from Li Ang.

This is not because their relationship is not good, nor is it because Ben deliberately distanced himself from Li Ang before the game, but...

I didn’t want the media to notice that two 2.06-meter-tall people are not the same height!

Li Ang is also very cooperative. I understand all my senior brother's troubles. Although my own height is not mixed with water, there are some things that I still have to consider for my brother.

As a result, while we were chatting, Da Ben found someone suddenly hugging his shoulders from behind: "Hi, brother Ben, how are you doing recently?"

Ben turned around and saw that it was McGrady...

Good guy, this is not a problem of two 2.06 meter people being of different heights.

This is a question of a person who is 2.03 meters taller than two people who are 2.06 meters tall!

The scene was very embarrassing for a time.

"Can... can you keep a safe distance when talking? I'll be shy if you are so close to me." Ben took McGrady's hand off his shoulder and took two steps back.

McGrady was speechless. When we were playing games at home last summer, you didn’t treat others like this!

Sure enough, men are all the same!

My brother wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "No, it's too dangerous."

This plan to increase the height of the afro must be implemented as soon as possible.

Although he was joking before the game, Li Ang knew that the Magic would never compromise in today's game.

Maybe the Magic management doesn't care whether they make the playoffs or not, but this group of Magic players will definitely give it a try.

In last year's shortened season, the Magic won 33 of 50 games. Together with the Heat and Pacers, they became the three Eastern Conference teams with the best records.

But despite being the strongest in the Eastern Conference during the regular season, the Magic were upset by the AI-led 76ers in the first round of the playoffs.

At that time, the Magic's management understood one thing - if they wanted to achieve results in the playoffs, they still had to have reliable stars.

With teamwork, we may be able to achieve excellent results in the regular season.

But the playoffs are, after all, the stage for stars.

What do you think the 76ers have? Are their configuration really better than the Magic?

The reason why we can win the series is because of Iverson.

So this season, the Magic management's policy has changed.

From June 14, 1999 to the closing of the trading market on February 24, 2000, Magic general manager John Gabriel made a total of 37 player transactions, involving 38 players!

Basically changed the team all over.

Through this series of operations, the Magic not only freed up valuable salary space, but also accumulated nine first-round draft picks in the next five years.

It can be called the first generation detonator.

The intention of the Magic management is simple, that is, focusing on the summer of 2000, they will have huge salary space to flex their muscles in the free agent market.

Orlando needs a star, an older brother who can lead the team through difficulties.

Through a series of operations and huge personnel changes, the Magic, which dominated the Eastern Conference in the regular season last season, instantly became a civilian team this season.

Five people: Darrell Armstrong, Ron Moser, Poe Outlaw, John Amici and Big Ben, four of them are undrafted!

This kind of lineup is rare in the entire NBA history.

However, these people can just urinate into a pot.

They all have low backgrounds, so they have many topics in common, and they all have a tenacious style.

Everyone thought that the Magic would be wantonly massacred by other teams, but this group of unknown guys brought the Magic to the playoffs, making the entire league look at them with admiration.

You can think of the current Magic as the Grizzlies more than ten years from now.

They may not be a championship contending team, and their players may not be dazzling stars.

But if you want to win against them, you have to shed a layer of skin!

The brothers have worked hard to get to this point, and they are just one game away from entering the playoffs.

Do you think they will give up easily?

The playoffs are an explanation for this group of people to work hard for a season!

Li Ang has been mentally prepared. When this game is over, he will probably be covered in bruises again.

At the beginning of the game, Ben fought for the ball from Oakley.

Darrell Armstrong passed halftime quickly. As the core of this civilian team, at only 1.83 meters tall, he averaged 16.2 points, 6.1 assists and 2.1 steals per game.

Armstrong called white power forward Pat Garrity to cover for him. Garrity has only played one game this season, and that was today's game.

This was specially prepared by Rivers to deal with Li Ang.

Garrity is a rare space-type fourth position in this era, and he can space the space very thoroughly.

He doesn't rely on three-pointers occasionally to score, but basically relies on three-pointers to score.

Garrity immediately bounced outside the three-point line after the pick-and-roll, and Li Ang had to follow.

As a result, Armstrong had a fleeting opportunity to take action.

He easily hit the ball with a pull-up jumper, giving the Magic the lead.

False fans only know that Li Ang is a dunker, but as a wise archbishop, Rivers is very aware of Li Ang's abilities.

As we all know, Li Ang can't even shoot as well as others.

Although he can occasionally make a few beautiful short-range turnaround jump shots, he has almost no independent offensive ability.

Of course, those are not the point. The point is that Li Ang made a huge contribution on the defensive end.

Whether it's assist defense, individual defense or rebound protection, not to mention top-notch, at least it's at an excellent level.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And Rivers went to Garrity to contain Li Ang today, which is equivalent to destroying one of the two strongest defensive barriers of the Menglong team.

Li Ang is the most disgusted with this kind of space-based inside line. The inside line requires melee combat in the penalty area, you bastards, you guys who play shooting are disgusting.

Anyway, as long as I don’t know how to do it, it’s disgusting!

Li Ang originally thought that Garrity, as a white space-based insider, would be very weak.

As a result, when the Menglong team attacked, Garrity and Li Ang started a fierce hand-to-hand fight.

Contrary to his appearance, Garrity is not only not soft, but also a player who advocates confrontation.

He just wrapped Li Ang's arm around him and didn't give Li Ang a chance to connect with the ball.

That's the magic this season, there are no wimps on their team.

Maizi took the ball, broke through to the mid-range and made a pull-up jump shot.

But Outlaw, who was also tall and lanky, interfered with McGrady's shot in time, and McGrady missed the first shot.

Li Ang was about to fight for an offensive rebound, but Garrity directly grabbed the jersey.

In the penalty area, Ben also showed off a pair of iron elbows.

As expected from Oakley's teachings, the blocking position is all on the elbows!

Under the double obstruction of Ben and Garrity, the rebound was finally taken by senior brother Ben.

No matter how abnormal Li Ang's bullet speed is, he can't catch the frontcourt 100% at any position.

Ben passed the ball to Moser, who quickly counterattacked.

Li Ang chased behind Moser, trying to block the Magic's counterattack.

Although Li Ang often blocked shots this season, although he committed six fouls 7 times this season.

But Li Ang just likes this, and he likes the feeling of blocking shots.

Whoever is caught will be treated to hot pot.

In this respect, Leon is quite similar to Vancouver's Raheem.

They are all inviting you to eat hot pot, what’s the difference?

But this time, when Li Ang chased Moser into the three-second zone, he passed the ball diagonally backward.

Garrity was already ambushing outside the three-point line at this time. He did not hesitate. After all, this is what he came out to do today.

An arrow piercing the clouds, come and see you in three minutes!

"brush!"

"The people of Orlando launched a fierce attack and beat the Dragons 5-0 at the beginning. This is the Orlando Magic. Although they are not ranked high, they can force a 50-50 draw against anyone they play."
