After a five-day break, on May 16, the Magic hosted the Hawks.

The Hawks are old rivals, and this season, as an Eastern team, the two teams have faced each other many times, and the Magic team also has a great advantage, whether it is inside and outside, the Magic team has an advantage.

Hawks starters, Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, Marvin Williams, McBibby, Al Horford. There are also Zazapachuria, Jamal Crawford and others on the bench, which can be described as a strong lineup.

But it didn't work.

The Magic team has a strong lineup, but the division of labor is not clear enough.

Until now, it was unclear who the Eagles were the bosses.

Joe Johnson's offensive skills are sufficient, but his physical fitness is relatively average, and he is not domineering enough on the court, too low-key. Josh Smith has good physical fitness, but he is more of a reckless man, although some media call him the Eagle King, but he is not worthy of the name. It is also rumored that Al Horford, the inside liner, is scheduled to be the new Eagle King, but Horford is still young and his personality is not suitable to be the Eagle King.

So, the Eagles look a bit of a mess.

The Eagles have great players, but they don't have top superstars, and that's the Eagles' biggest flaw.

At the same time, McBeeby's defense is too weak and will be the biggest liability.

On the contrary, the Magic team as a whole is not necessarily better than the Hawks, but Qin Yang on the outside and Howard on the inside beat the Hawks down. That's true for the regular season, and there are no surprises in the playoffs.

As soon as the game began, the Magic pulled away from the score.

Al Horford is limited on the inside, and while he can occasionally score with a wealth of offensive skills, he is clearly at a disadvantage on both ends of the floor.

Josh Smith also played averagely, and Marvin Williams was tired of defending Qin Yang and felt like he was going to vomit blood.

The Magic team suppressed in all directions and did not give the Hawks a chance at all.

Joe Johnson played very consistently, but it felt too bland, and at this time, Joe Johnson gave the impression that he was not as good as Derrick Rose.

Even the Hawks as a whole give the impression that they are not as good as the Bulls.

The truth is much the same.

In the first home game, the Magic team won the game easily, and there was no surprise at all, and the Hawks also wanted to fight back and reverse the score, but ...... The difference in strength is obvious.

Howard went crazy with 24 points and 18 rebounds to help the team win.

Qin Yang had 18 points, 12 assists and 4 rebounds, and his performance was very stable.

The first game was won smoothly, and Howard began to make a lot of nonsense during the post-game interview.

"Eagles, that's right, I'm already thinking about my next opponent!"

Nima, if Howard wasn't the boss, Qin Yang wouldn't have to go up and scold, this is really a pig teammate, you dare to say that, it's a tease sent by the monkey.

The Hawks have no fighting spirit, they can play steadily, solve the battle in four games, and prepare for the finals, what a comfortable thing, Howard has to pretend to be forced.

This brain is purely sick.

The last person to pretend to be like this was Maddie, and then the Rockets didn't come back and became a famous laughing stock in the league.

Howard is really brain-dead at times, pitting teammates at critical moments.

Seeing this situation, Qin Yang had to make a remedy:

'The Eagles are a very good team, we had a lot of difficulties, but luckily we were in better shape, we were lucky, we won the game and we don't take it lightly.

Qin Yang said this, it was still useless.

In the second game, the Eagles were significantly more impactful.

Even in the second quarter, the Magic fell behind for a while.

Joe Johnson played solidly, and Al Horford and Josh Smith also played well. Finally, in the fourth quarter, the Magic team was still behind at home.

Fortunately, in the last quarter, Qin Yang played well, and Howard made 3 of 4 free throws at a critical moment to open the score.

The second game was won.

The Hawks, who then returned to their home court, were tenacious, but did not cause any difficulties for the Magic, and although the difference in points between the two games was not large, the game was under the control of the Magic.

After being reminded this time, Howard finally stopped thinking and solemnly admitted the strength of the Hawks.

Then, on the 22nd and 24th, the Magic team won two consecutive away games without danger.

The Hawks went home and the Magic won the game 4-0.

Since then, the Magic team has advanced to the finals, which is also the first time that the Magic team has advanced to the finals in more than ten years, and the last time the closest moment to the championship was last year, but under the outbreak of Qin Yang, the Magic team lost to the Cavaliers and missed the finals.

After the Magic won, the game between the Lakers and the Suns also entered a critical period.

The Suns really played at a high level this season, sweeping the Spurs 4-0 in the playoffs, and at the same time causing a lot of difficulties for the Lakers, once forcing the Lakers into a desperate situation 2-2.

But the Suns' flaws are still too serious.

Those who can attack come out, but they can't contain it.

That's the most embarrassing thing.

The Lakers score almost at will, with an astonishing shooting percentage, and the slightest turnover, or a reduced shooting percentage, will be pulled away by the Suns.

In the end, the Lakers won the match point with a stunner, and won the game in the last blow.

In this way, the opponent of the Finals is determined that the Magic team will play against the Lakers.

Although it is not the 23 vs. 24 that the league expects, the matchup between the two teams is still full of gimmicks.

There are still two days to go, but the media and experts are already warming up.

TNT：

"81 points VS 64 points, the battle for the strongest scorer in the last three years."

"The Lakers Kobe Bryant, as the first person in the active league, once scored a terrifying 81 points in a single game, and the Magic team Bruce Qin also played well, scoring 64 points in a single game, and the scoring ability of the two was recognized by the entire league, and the biggest highlight of this series is the scoring battle between Kobe and Bruce Qin."

"Kobe Bryant wins in scoring stability, while Bruce Qin has a stronger ability to score explosively, and if a three-point rain comes down, most teams that are enough to play are panicked."

Fox News:

"Super inside, Howard VS Bynum + Pau Gasol."

"The key to the Lakers and Magic's journey to the finals is the inside, if Bynum and Pau Gasol have an absolute advantage, then the Lakers' victory is expected, on the other hand, if Howard suppresses the combination of Bynum and Pau Gasol, then the Magic team can win the championship."

"Some people say that as the league is growing now, the super interior line is becoming less and less suitable for the league, and it's time for Dwight Howard to lead by example in this Finals."

The game has not yet started, and the finals have already been noisy.
