Today's NBA regular season continued, after the game started, Kuzma scored consecutive points to lead the Wizards to a slight advantage, and the Magic relied on a rotation lineup to catch up with the score in the second quarter, after which the two sides were deadlocked, and the Wizards still led by 3 points in the first half. Yibian fought again, the Magic continued the stable play of the first half to overtake the score, Wagner Jr. and Suggs teamed up to score points, and the Wizards once regained the lead through three consecutive points in the final quarter, but the Magic steadily overtook the score again and maintained the lead to the end, and finally the Magic defeated the Wizards 130-125 to win 9 in a row, and the Wizards suffered 2 consecutive defeats.
In terms of statistics, Wizards: Kuzma 27 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks, Gafford 18 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, Jones 13 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals, Poole 14 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, Kispert 15 points and 3 assists, Shamet 13 points and 2 assists, Koulibaly 12 points, 5 rebounds and 3 steals Magic: Banchero 28 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists, Wagner Jr. 31 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists, Suggs 15 points, 4 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, Big Wagner 18 points and 6 boards, Ingles 14 points and 7 assists.
Last season, the Magic and the Wizards can be said to be half-hearted teams, and even before Beal was traded, the Wizards' performance may be better than the Magic, but after entering the new season, compared with the Wizards who have changed their core lineup, the Magic team can be said to be unusual, playing a strong performance this season, and the twin stars broke out in today's game against the Wizards.
Banchero played 38 minutes, 11 of 20, 3 of 4 three-pointers contributed 28 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists, Wagner Jr. played 34 minutes, 9 of 17, 12 of 14 free throws and 31 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists, both are also 2.08 meters of forward players, but the chemistry is unusually good in the Magic team system, both have the same all-round skills, in addition to the key abilities that need to be verified in the strong dialogue for the time being, the core system of the Magic team has actually been very clear.
On the other hand, the Wizards, since entering the new season, have been constantly losing, in fact, after sending away Beal, everyone can expect that the Wizards' record this season will inevitably pull their hips, but what everyone didn't expect was that the Wizards team, who thought that there was no record, at least the new signing Poole would play the core performance of the team in the Wizards, but it was obvious that he did not have a corresponding performance, and he also pulled his hips again in this game, playing 30 minutes, 3 of 12, 0 of 5 three-pointers, 14 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.
I believe everyone has never expected Poole to lead the team to what kind of achievements, but Garnett boasted about Haikou in the summer, bluntly saying that Poole can play a Harden-style explosive performance in the new season, but it is clear that this scene did not happen, but in just ten games, the Wizards understood that Poole is not a suitable player to build around the team, and should not even be the starter of the championship team, he was just comfortable in the Warriors system before.
Now there is a different new pattern in the East, the Magic team is 13-5 and sits in second place in the East, and the winning rate even has to be stable to suppress the Bucks, and the Wizards have come to the penultimate in the East, not thinking that the Magic team is a championship team, but their excellence is obvious to all, and the Wizards are destined to rebuild, but it is likely that there will be no more Poole in this rebuilding process, and now there is only one suspense left, that is, when will Poole leave?What do you think about this?
