The Orlando Magic won the 2022-2023 NBA regular season Boston Celtics 113-98 at the Amway Center on the 24th (Korean time). 2022 draft No. 1 rookie Paulo Benquero scored 23 points and 5 rebounds, Wendell Carter Jr. scored 21 points and 11 rebounds, and Cole Anthony played an active role with 18 points and 5 rebounds.
Orlando has an impressive record. Orlando is a low-ranking team with an 18-29 record and 13th in the East. However, on this day, he also won Boston and confirmed the season sweep by winning all three games against Boston this season. Orlando won all of their consecutive games against Boston in mid-December, and won 113-98 in the return match held about a month later.
Boston is the runner-up in last season’s Finals and the top team in winning percentage in the regular season this season. Recently, he was on a 9-game winning streak by defeating strong players one after another. However, Boston’s run was blocked again by Orlando, which was placed at the bottom of the table. A clear correlation is seen.
We can analyze this absolute advantage in matchups. Without Robert Williams III, Boston uses 2 guards, 2 forwards and 1 big man. Al Horford usually takes the place of the 1 big man and enjoys using the small lineup. But Orlando uses the opposite big lineup. It is one of the teams with the absolute greatest height. Not only tall forwards such as Benquero and Wagner, but also big men with great heights such as Mo Wagner, Bol Ball, and Wendell Carter Jr. are also lined up.
It is said that it is possible to achieve a clear advantage with Boston. Thanks to his unique squat composition and well-matched tactics, Orlando blew up a record-breaking record against the league leader.
Meanwhile, Orlando also won both games against Golden State in November and January. Golden State is the team that won the Finals last season by beating Boston. Orlando, which won 2 matches against Golden State and 3 matches against Boston, succeeded in winning 5 matches against the two teams that advanced to the finals last season. It is the only team in the league to win all over Boston-Golden State. This is the charm of the goblin team. 메이저놀이터
