Of course, this game was also broadcast live in China, and the title "Roaring God" still appeared. Originally, this title was a nickname given to Rasheed Wallace by domestic commentators when the Spurs played the Pistons in the Finals, and it became popular.

Let’s take a look at what kind of player Rasheed Wallace was before joining the Pistons.

The early commentators in China had very artistic nicknames, such as Stone Buddha, Rammstein, Peter Pan, etc. Nowadays, fans are no longer superstitious about authority and choose their own nicknames, such as turtle, schoolbag, cousin, elementary school student.

They're all here.

Originally, he got the nickname "Roaring God" because he liked to yell at referees on the court because of too many technical fouls. Now he has really become "Roaring God". His angry expression and blood- boiling roar completely set the ball on fire.

Team passion.

The Magic team was really shocked by Rasheed Wallace's voice for a while! But then it turned into anger and was actually frightened by the opponent's voice!

When the referee saw and heard Rasheed Wallace's roar, he almost put the whistle in his mouth out of habit and ejected Rasheed Wallace. Fortunately, he reacted quickly. This is no longer the case.

Portland, Rasheed Wallace is not a Trail Blazers player.

In the enthusiastic atmosphere of the Eagles' home fans, the referee blew the whistle to start the game and the two teams came to the court.

The Magic sent Tyronn Lue, who has a lifelong love of following big guys, Reese Gaines, this year's first-round pick with the 16th overall pick, Tracy McGrady, Juwan Howard, and Drew Gooden.

Rasheed Wallace and Drew Gooden came to the center circle to jump the ball.

Compared with Ratliff, Rasheed Wallace is about the same height, has a great bounce, and can easily win jump balls from Drew Gooden.

The fans are about to burst into tears. Finally, we have an inside man who can win jump balls!

Liu Mang received the ball and advanced to the frontcourt. After passing the center line, he made a gesture for the opening single.

This gesture is very familiar to fans. It was a common opening play in the past two years, handing the ball to Raheem.

But, this time it’s different! Everyone, including Raheem, moved to open up space!

Rahim came to the left mid-range, the area where he is most accurate in shooting, and took McGrady away. Prince went to the left corner and took Gaines away. Ratliff took Gooden near the three-second zone.

Pinned under the basket, Rasheed Wallace went to the right corner.

This change surprised and delighted the fans. What was surprising was that it was not Raheem who was the "boss" in the offense, but the newly arrived Rasheed Wallace, who was regarded as a talented player second only to the four power forwards.

All the inside scorers go to the outside to open up space!

That is to say, Liu Mang has now become the team's real main player!

McGrady was ready to fight with Raheem, but Rahim actually opened up the space! This was a bit subversive of McGrady's understanding. He also admired Liu Mang, but he didn't expect Liu Mang to be able to make Rasheed

Tom and Rasheed Wallace did not hesitate to play the role of space-opening!

As soon as Liu Mang reached the three-point line, Tyronn Lue actively defended him, relying on his ability to keep up with Iverson's speed to defend him.

After coming to the Magic, Tyronn Lue truly became the point guard of a team. He actively wanted to show his value and defended very hard.

Liu Mang saw that Tyronn Lue was so close to him, so he decisively elbowed Tyronn Lue away and reached the three-point line.

However, just when Liu Mang thought he had gotten rid of Tyronn Lue, before he reached the free throw line, Tyronn Lue came back with his super speed and defensive enthusiasm!

Tyronn Lue really relied on his enthusiasm and his own defensive ability to delay Liu Mang's breakthrough! The moment Liu Mang was blocked, he clearly saw McGrady taking a step closer to the basket, ready to double-team at any time. In the blink of an eye,

Liu Mang immediately made a judgment and pulled to the left to change direction and break through!

Tyronn Lue retreated again, and McGrady was ready to double-team in the three-second zone. Liu Mang only took a step forward, stepped on the free throw line and made an emergency jump shot!

This was so sudden. When Tyronn Lue pounced back, Liu Mang had already thrown the ball!

"Shua"

The ball went straight into the basket, neatly.

Not only the Magic players, but also Liu Mang's teammates didn't expect Liu Mang to shoot right here! The key is that he scored so cleanly!

After Liu Mang made the shot, he still maintained his shooting posture when he landed. Before he could put his hand down and turn around, he went back to the backcourt to defend.

When the fans at the scene saw Liu Mang's confidence that he would definitely make it, they cheered again.

Neither Tyronn Lue, who was guarding Liu Mang, nor Tracy McGrady, who was preparing to help defend, expected Liu Mang to shoot here.

In the past, Liu Mang, in order to improve his offensive efficiency and offensive threat as much as possible, so when he played with the ball, his shooting point was usually outside the three-point line and inside the three-second zone. In the mid-range, he mainly committed fouls, except for catching open balls.

Mid-range shot, very few mid-range shots.

The Magic attaches great importance to this opening game. This year, the Magic formed a core lineup of Tracy McGrady, Juwan Howard, Gooden, Tyronn Lue, Gaines, a rookie in 2003, the year of the draft, and

DeShawn Stevens, a role player who was traded or introduced by using Kirisek in exchange for Mike Miller, proved that the Magic still want to do big things this year. After all,

Even if the 4.9 million in Hill's contract is not included in the team's salary due to injury exceptions, after so many transactions and signings, the Magic's total salary has reached 58 million, exceeding the luxury tax threshold.

56.72 million.

Therefore, the Magic attaches great importance to the matchup with the Hawks, which is regarded as the best team in the East and is likely to decline again, especially Tracy McGrady. They have once again studied Liu Mang's performance a long time ago, so the outside line is handed over to Tai Lun-

Lu, a fast point guard with excellent physical fitness, went to guard Liu Mang. The inside line was ready to shrink, but he didn't expect Liu Mang to come up with a new trick!

Only one summer has passed, and CIC has been developed? Are there any people left alive?

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! McGrady felt that Liu Mang had given him a jolt as soon as the game started. He quickly suppressed his surprise and ran towards the frontcourt.

During the transition between offense and defense, the Magic team attacked. Tyronn Lue advanced to the frontcourt and handed the ball over as usual. As soon as McGrady cut inside to open up space, the ball flew over and followed McGrady's Lashi.

McGuire leaned forward to steal the ball, but fortunately McGrady reacted quickly and grabbed the ball.

McGrady was speechless after receiving the ball. He originally planned to let the two new reinforcements Juwan Howard and Tyronn Lue play first. Now that he has good teammates, of course he has to let them perform and show their abilities.

Unexpectedly, Tailen passed the ball directly. After all, you have been a point guard averaging three or four assists per game in the past two years!

Playing with Kobe Jordan for five years was a waste of time... Thinking of this, McGrady felt that there wasn't much wrong with him. Those two guys seemed to shoot after receiving the ball, and any point guard could get three or four assists.

McGrady dribbled the ball out of the three-point line with Raheem's defense and held the ball in the high post.

McGrady observed the opponent's defense and saw that Rahim was like a leopard, walking briskly in small steps, as if he was about to pounce at any time. The defensive end was quite active!

No, McGrady feels that Raheem is no longer very active, but has a feeling of trying his best to focus on the defensive end. This reminds him of when he was a substitute for the Raptors!

The most important thing is that McGrady saw that Raheem was obviously thinner than when they played against each other last year!

McGrady didn't play in the preseason and didn't notice it without close observation, but now I see Raheem, he has obviously lost weight!

McGrady is a little confused. Raheem is not the kind of player who is capable and dominant on both offense and defense. He spends all his energy on defense, loses weight, and stops attacking in the low post?

McGrady took a step back and made a gesture, and Juwan Howard immediately went to the low post to jam Rasheed Wallace for the ball.

McGrady first avoided the edge and lobbed the ball to Juwan Howard. Juwan Howard and McGrady were the Magic's two biggest advantages. McGrady was a little confused when he saw Raheem's desperate defensive posture, so he let

Juwan Howard showed off first. McGrady was prepared like this, but he didn't expect Tyronn Lue to pass the ball directly.

Juwan Howard received the ball in the low post on the right side of the basket. After McGrady passed the ball, he moved to the far end of the top arc to open up space. Rookie Gaines was in the right corner and Gooden moved to the middle distance of the left baseline.

, Tyronn Lue led Prince to a 45-degree angle on the left, and all the space was opened up for Juwan Howard.

Juwan Howard feels that Tracy McGrady is a good little brother and is very satisfied. He is too experienced to play against Rasheed Wallace. In the past three years, both of them have been players in the Western Conference and both are power forwards. They often play against each other.

Although he is not better than Rasheed Wallace, both of them have back and forth, and Rasheed Wallace is a slacker.

After seeing his teammates open up the space, Juwan Howard pushed behind him and turned over for a fadeaway jumper!

This is the most common offensive method used by Juwan Howard to beat Rasheed Wallace. He has scored many such back-up hits on Rasheed Wallace. Every time Rasheed Wallace

Laishi looks fierce, but it's over if you stretch out your hand.

Just when Juwan Howard hit a turnaround jumper, a vicious face stuck in front of him!

Rasheed Wallace's prediction was accurate, and he slapped the ball that Juwan Howard had just raised over his head. The ball was slapped away by Rasheed Wallace, and the ball flew like a cannonball from Magic rookie Gaine.

The ball flew out of bounds next to Si's head. Gaines was so frightened that he forgot to catch the ball!

What makes fans excited the most on the basketball court? It’s blocking shots! The passion of the fans was ignited again, and the Eagles bench was also boiling with excitement. The players on the court all went up and exclaimed with exaggerated "Wow wow wow..." expressions.

Rasheed Wallace was shouting and high-fiving, especially Raheem, and Rasheed Wallace was jumping up and butt-bumping in celebration.

Liu Mang was a little slower. He had been frightened by Rasheed Wallace's defensive enthusiasm just now. He knew that Rasheed Wallace was like a genetic mutation when he came to a team with a good team atmosphere.

It was the same, but I still had some doubts, but I didn't expect Rasheed Wallace to enter a new role all of a sudden, which confused Juwan Howard, and Liu Mang was also frightened, so he was the last one to go up to celebrate.

.

However, as soon as Liu Mang walked up with his hands raised, his teammates celebrated and dispersed... and started...

The teammates went from being extremely excited to calming down instantly, and each followed his or her defender.

Liu Mang silently brought his raised right hand to his chest, stretched out his left hand and patted his right hand.

…

The game continued and the Magic had 4 seconds left to attack. Gooden served the ball. McGrady received the ball more than one meter away from the three-point line, took a step forward, and shot a three-pointer.

He dared to shoot and he really dared to score. McGrady's super long three-point shot was scored, which offset the high morale of the Eagles.

When the Eagles attacked again, Liu Mang pushed forward. Rasheed Wallace was very excited and pressed under the basket to ask for the ball from Liu Mang.

Rasheed Wallace is a famous offensive kaleidoscope, Juwan Howard will definitely not be able to guard him, and the Magic are ready to double-team.

But... something unexpected happened to the Magic again. Liu Mang waved his hand towards Rasheed Wallace in disgust, letting him go out, and called Rahim to come to the outside, and handed the ball to Rasheed.

After that, he led Tyronn Lue to the low post and asked for the ball.

Rasheed Wallace's expression was obviously unhappy, and his nostrils were flaring. The Magic players were secretly happy. Rasheed Wallace would definitely be angry, and then he would burst into anger and be ejected.
