Chapter 317: There is still a gap

The first game between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Orlando Magic was a bit unexpected.
At first, everyone thought that the Magic should solve the 76ers smoothly. After all, although the 76ers reached third in the East, the lack of playoff experience made them not too competitive.
But who could have imagined that, with the efforts of Han Miao, Hayward and others, after being behind by 11 points in the first quarter, the 76ers actually tied the score at the end of the first half!
Yes, it is tied! When the 76ers outside three-pointers also started to make three-pointers, to be honest, Magic's advantage is not too great!
Especially Howard, who was originally their strongest, was troubled by the 76ers' slashing tactics from the second quarter.
Knowing that you are a bull, you can dunk, okay, we won't double-team, just come up one-on-one, and let you dunk if you can't defend it. If you have a chance to defend, it will be a foul that will let you go to the free throw line.
If you Howard can make Yao Ming's free throw percentage as high as 80+ today, that would be bad luck for the 76ers. If it doesn't work, don't blame us for cutting you all the time!
Anyway, the 76ers have fewer fouls, and everyone takes turns, don't you believe Howard can't be rectified?
In fact, Howard was really dumbfounded. During the first half, he got 12 free throws, but Howard only hit 2 of them!
This hit rate...
Han Miao couldn't help but maliciously speculate that it may be that the launch was too violent last night, so today's free throws were so bad, it seems that it was still influential yesterday!
The magic is due to the fact that the shooters feel good today. In the case of Howard's cheating, facing the 76ers who are getting stronger and stronger, the Magic did not mess with themselves.
Old Carter, this old trapeze scored a full 15 points in the first half, and you don't seem to think Carter is doing anything, but he can always score at critical moments to stabilize the situation.
If Carter's efficiency does not decrease in the second half, he will be 0+ today, which is no different from Carter's performance opportunities in the playoffs at the peak of the year. (Of course there is still a gap between Iverson and Biao 50 at that time)
However, the 76 people's spirit of not giving up really made the Magic feel a headache.
When trailing by 11 points in the first quarter, the Magic thought the game was over and could play it casually.
Who would have thought that this group of young people would not admit defeat, and started chasing points frantically from the second half of the first quarter!
Magic pulled the difference to 8 points two times later, but they still caught up!
Especially at the last moment of the first half, with only 15 seconds, the 76ers' first scorer Korver shot immediately after receiving the basketball at almost halftime! Completed an incredible three-pointer at the buzzer!
It was this ball that allowed the two teams to enter the second half with a score of 60!
Unbelievable to tie the three-pointer, the spirit of not giving up, the young 76ers used blood and magic to fight the whole half of the game, was opened three times, but three times to get back! This is the boxing ring, being knocked down three times can get up before the countdown ends!
Therefore, even if the 76ers are opponents, many fans will applaud them.
"These young people really fight."
"Yeah, they haven't given up hope. I can't tell it is the team that just returned to the playoffs."
"I think the team may be in trouble. Dwight has to stand up in the second half."
"Yes, Dwight's defense was fine in the first half, offensively..."
This was a discussion among the fans during the intermission. Howard did not perform well in the first half, and he still criticized him. Especially seeing the Sixers who are also young men fight so hard, Magic fans will naturally look to Howard. Some dissatisfaction.
"We did a good job in the first half and recovered the score three times. I am proud of you."
At the same time, in the visiting team's locker room, Stevens solemnly encouraged the team. He didn't expect that their team really did it. They recovered the score continuously after falling behind. To the team that has just completed the first step of reconstruction. In all, this is glorious enough.
Stevens himself didn't expect the team to do this. For him, as long as he doesn't fall behind by double digits in the first half, he is satisfied!
As a result, the team not only did not fall behind, it was still tied at the last minute!
Stevens understands that the military will be available, and if you go on like this, you may really have a chance to win in the second half!
The main players of the 76ers did not speak. Although they wiped them with towels time and time again, the water on their bodies still flowed down like a stream, especially Han Miao and Hayward, both of them still have their chests. Constantly ups and downs, a scorching breath sprayed from his nose.
"Han, Gordon, do you want to rest for a while?"
Stevens felt sorry for the two lovers. He knew that if they hadn't worked hard in the first half, the 76ers would have been beaten on their knees.
Han Miao started to enjoy the double-teaming treatment in the second half of the first quarter, and the people on the magic side smashed his muscles. Although Han Miao has good physical strength, it does not mean that he will not be tired.
Not to mention Hayward, Carter personally defended him and fought Carter, making Hayward feel like a flat boat, which would be swallowed by the sea at any time!
Therefore, the two of them are really tired.
The 76ers are tired, the Magic are tired, and they are still a little helpless. Why did they meet such a tenacious team today? Isn't it good to accept the fate of being backward? Have to chase points, chase points!
Why are you chasing after us? We don't want face when we catch up with us three times in a row!
"Coach, we still have a gap with them, and we can't rest now."
Han Miao said that he was okay. It was not time to rest, and his cards were almost out, but I really don't know how many cards the Magic have not played.
At least ~EbookFREE.me~ Howard hasn't played a normal level yet.
"That's right, the coach. We have to try to lead, and we can't be passively beaten like this. This time, let them chase our points!"
The team chased the halftime score and finally returned to the same starting line, so at this time, they will definitely not relax.
"There is still a gap..."
Although the enthusiasm of the players is high, Stevens understands that the depth of the 76ers' lineup is still not enough, and it is still far behind the Magic.
"In the second half, the opponent is definitely the main outside player, and we also played outside. Howard feels bad today. It doesn't matter if he gets inside. If necessary, fouls are fine!"
Stevens still decides to cut Huo to the end, anyway, Howard is the easiest to chop, who will not chop him!
"Come on, everyone, in the first game, we can't easily admit defeat!"
"Roar!"
