The NBA regular season has been going on for some time, and teams have had mixed performances. This season's championship favorites Bucks and Lakers did not start well, with only 3-2 and 3-3 records, ranking 5th in the East and 8th in the West, respectively.
On the contrary, it is the inconspicuous fish belly team that is eye-catching, such as: today's 120-101 victory over the Lakers Magic, Wagner, Banchero and other young stars made Zhan Mei lose face.
In fact, the Magic had already shown a certain strength in their previous 3-point defeat to the Lakers. Although the team is less experienced, they are more dynamic and impactful.
In today's game, the Magic grabbed 11 more rebounds and handed out 12 more assists than the Lakers, and they used their fluid offense to wipe out the Lakers. At the same time, the Magic limited the Lakers' three-point shooting to 26% in this game, and the defense was extremely targeted. Russell, the Lakers' backcourt who performed well in the first two games, only scored 11 points on 4-of-17 shooting.
Of course, it's not about how well the Magic played. The Lakers' side is still exposed to the same old problems, the defense is not aggressive, and the game is not tough enough.
After beating the Lakers, the Magic have a 4-2 record and are in fourth place in the East, beating the favorite Bucks.
Judging by the current situation, this Eastern Conference team is really eye-catching. Perhaps, this season, they will bring us more surprises, what do you think?
