奧蘭多魔術隊前鋒保羅·班切羅（Paolo Banchero）本賽季遭遇了各種各樣的批評，因為他們戰績平平，不得不通過附加賽才能進入季後賽。

魔術隊進入班加羅爾的第四年，人們的樂觀情緒很高，許多人甚至預測他將首次入選全明星賽。球隊還增加了德斯蒙德貝恩的進攻武器，而弗蘭茲瓦格納和賈倫薩格斯預計會產生更好的數據。

然而，奧蘭多的航行絕非一帆風順。班加羅爾在穩定性方面表現不佳，同時也與教練賈馬爾·莫斯利發生爭執，而瓦格納和薩格斯則因各種傷病而步履蹣跚。

但在周日的首輪系列賽第一場比賽中擊敗夏洛特黃蜂隊獲得東部季後賽最後一個席位，並以 112-10 擊敗底特律活塞隊後，班加羅爾強調，如果他們想繼續前進，就不能沉溺於過去。 前進。

「你無法回過頭來改變發生的事情。最終，我們進入了季後賽，我們有機會去做我們自十月份以來就計劃要做的事情。你不能太陷入常規賽發生的事情和挫折中，」奧蘭多哨兵報的傑森·比德援引班加羅爾的話說。

「我們現在完全健康，我們感覺我們作為一個團隊正在合作。我們在對陣夏洛特的比賽中發現了我們的防守、我們的能量和我們的溝通。我們知道，如果我們能夠複製這一點，我們每晚都會給自己一個機會，無論我們對陣誰。這絕對是一個新的賽季和新的能量。”

班切羅在第一場比賽中拿下23分、9個籃板和4次助攻，弗蘭茨·瓦格納則拿下19分、5個籃板、4次助攻和2次抄截。

賈倫·薩格斯在賽後解決了膝傷問題，拿下 16 分、4 個籃板、4 次助攻和 3 次搶斷。

ESPN 的肯德里克·帕金斯最近表示，他對班加羅爾的“藉口”感到“厭倦”。這位才華橫溢的前鋒有責任繼續壓制反對者的聲音。

週三，奧蘭多魔術隊在起亞中心以 132-120 擊敗明尼蘇達灰狼隊，取得四連勝。對於魔術隊來說，這是一場至關重要的勝利，因為他們正試圖避免參加附加賽。

奧蘭多隊以44勝36負的戰績上升至東部第七位。該隊僅落後排名第六的多倫多暴龍隊半場。

保羅·班加羅爾 (Paolo Banchero) 再次代表魔術隊出戰，全場拿下 20 分、8 個籃板和 6 次助攻。他投籃11投8中。

在賽後會議上，奧蘭多主教練賈馬爾·莫斯利對班加羅爾的意願表示讚賞 攻擊油漆 而不是拉起外線投籃。

「他很難防守。他已經在盡可能地下坡了。球隊在努力堵住油漆區方面做得很好，但他全神貫注於這樣一個事實：他會下坡，他會攻擊籃筐，無論他們是否有蓋帽，」莫斯利在 Spectrum News 13 的布蘭登·格林發布的視頻中說道。

“他低下頭走了，我認為他為我們做到這一點的能力改變了比賽。”

在過去的三場比賽中，23歲的班加羅爾場均得到24.6分，投籃命中率為59.3%，同時還有9.6個籃板、5.0次助攻和2.0次抄截。

整個賽季，人們都對他的效率感到擔憂，因為他傾向於強行投籃或跳投，而不是透過身體對抗和推土機衝向籃框。

對於班加羅爾來說，他的學習曲線仍然很高，他已經進入 NBA 四年了。他有能力證明批評者是錯的，還有什麼比繼續低頭帶領魔術隊進入季後賽更好的方法呢？

奧蘭多魔術隊最近一直在苦苦掙扎，球迷們對主教練賈馬爾·莫斯利失去了耐心。這是一支幾天前還輸了52分的球隊。但魔術隊在周二晚上對陣菲尼克斯太陽隊的比賽中取得了一場至關重要的勝利，以 115-111 擊敗了另一支有抱負的季後賽球隊，取得了一場驚心動魄的勝利。

這場勝利的上半場對魔術來說非常輕鬆。但太陽隊並沒有通過簡單的翻盤就走到這一步，他們在第三節領先奧蘭多隊14分，在進入第四節時將比分追平。

儘管如此，魔術隊還是保持了冷靜，在75場比賽中贏得了本賽季的第40場勝利，繼續穩坐東部第八種子的位置。

賽後，保羅·班加羅爾 解釋了哪裡做對了 感謝魔術隊以及他們為抵禦勇敢的太陽隊的猛烈進攻所做的努力。

「只要拿出正確的能量，正確的強度，並一起戰鬥，」班加羅爾在賽後採訪中透過 X 上的萬智牌官方帳戶（以前的 Twitter）說道。 「試圖找到我的隊友。尋找空位射手，空位切入者。夥計們在移動方面做得很好。只是試圖打出一場完整的比賽。”

“試圖找到我的隊友……只是試圖打出一場完整的比賽。”

魔術隊需要戰勝太陽隊才能反彈

魔術隊在周日輸給多倫多暴龍隊 52 分後，正走出 2025-26 賽季的最低點。那真是一場災難，奧蘭多的天似乎要塌下來了。

儘管如此，這在輸贏一欄中僅算作一場失利。他們在客場大勝太陽隊後反彈，保持在前八名至少可以保證他們有兩次進入季後賽的機會。

The Orlando Magic lost 128-126 against the Indiana Pacers at the Kia Center on Monday when Paolo Banchero’s game-winning attempt was blocked as time expired.

The Pacers finally ended their franchise-record 16-game losing streak, while the Magic suffered their fifth consecutive loss.

Orlando won on a jump ball with just 6.4 seconds left in the game. Banchero attacked the rim, but was faced by Pascal Siakam and Jay Huff, who held down the fort.

After the game, the 23-year-old Banchero said may have been fouled On the last play, as reported by Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel.

“We took an aggressive step to the hoop. I thought they both jumped on me with their bodies, but they were both straight up, you know? So it could have been a foul, but it wasn’t. It was a tough one,” Banchero said.

I asked #magical Forward Paolo Banchero on the last game and whether he felt he was fouled by Indiana:

“I thought they both jumped into me with their bodies, but they were both straight up, you know? So, it could have been a foul, but it wasn’t. And yes, it was a hard one.” https://t.co/IugjbiTXq0 pic.twitter.com/4QsqqlTRLi

-Jason Beede (@therealBeede) 24 March 2026

The fourth-year forward had a heroic performance, finishing with a game-high 39 points on 13-of-27 shooting. He added four rebounds and six assists.

Banchero has found his rhythm after struggling with his efficiency in the first half of the campaign.

The Magic played without Jalen Suggs, Franz Wagner and Anthony Black due to various illnesses.

While they admitted a painful loss at the hands of the Pacers, Banchero stressed they need to move on quickly as they face the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday at Rocket Arena.

“We don’t really have time to get our heads down. We’ve got to come back to Cleveland tomorrow and try to get a win there,” Banchero said, quoting Beede.

The Magic are in eighth place in the Eastern Conference with a 38–33 record.

Tracy McGrady is one of the best scorers in NBA history and obviously one of the best players in Orlando Magic franchise history.

It was with the Magic that McGrady became one of the best players in the NBA, leading the league in scoring twice (2003, 2004), while leading Orlando to three consecutive playoff appearances.

Fast forward to the present day, the Magic have a new franchise face in Paolo Banchero. The 23-year-old hasn’t even reached the prime of his career yet, but he’s already shown his potential by earning an All-Star bid during the 2023-24 season, a year after winning Rookie of the Year.

The Magic have been an annual playoff team in the Banchero era, advancing to the playoffs each of the last two years. However, this year’s team – especially after the addition of Desmond Benn – was expected to make the jump from a marginal playoff team to one of the very elite teams of the East.

Despite serious injuries to Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum – he recently made his season debut – and Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton, the Magic are still sixth in the Eastern Conference and trying to avoid the play-in tournament. Entering Saturday’s game, Orlando is 38-31 and just a half-game ahead of the Atlanta Hawks, Miami Heat and Philadelphia 76ers.

McGrady believes Banchero has ‘superstar’ potential

Banchero is having a good season, but hasn’t really taken the next step up to the elite level. McGrady said “it will come” for the young star.

“It will come,” McGrady said in Banchero’s one-on-one interview. “He’s young, he’s trying to figure it out. There’s a lot of pressure on a young player, and he’s learning. Not having a real, true vet to really teach him and help him understand and guide him on how this thing works, I’m sure it’s very hard for him.

McGrady – who was a superstar himself and is in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame – said Banchero has the “tools” to become a superstar player.

“But in terms of tools, size, I think he has what it takes to be a superstar — not All-Star — superstar player,” McGrady said. “I think it’s up to him how he approaches the game and the information he’s consuming, and how you apply it when you’re on the basketball court? Are you reaching out to vets, people who have been in that situation? Are you getting that advice? How are you taking that advice? Or are you pushing it? Are you implementing it? I think there’s a lot of things he can do to help him get to that level. But his Has the size, has the tools, I think he can definitely get there.”

McGrady – who has played against LeBron James several times in his career – said Banchero should be at “LeBron status” in terms of what his stat line should look like. For perspective, James is one of the greatest players of all-time and has averaged 26.8 points, 7.5 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game during his career.

Banchero is currently averaging 22.3 points, 8.5 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game.

“That stat line should be on LeBron’s situation in terms of what he should look like every night,” Banchero’s McGrady said.

When McGrady was asked to make a comparison to the fourth-year player, he said he didn’t, because no one reminds him of the 6-foot-10 Banchero and what he is capable of doing on the court.

“No, he doesn’t really remind me of anyone,” McGrady said. “He’s 6 foot 10 inches, brother. He’s a big man. When I talk to him when I’m down there, if I go watch a game or something, and I’m around those guys, I have a conversation with him. But other than that, I don’t have any kind of relationship with him. But he’s a big man. Man, he’s a big man. Man, 6-10, heavy and just talk about mass. If he wants to, he should be Average of 30 points in this league.”

Paolo Banchero praised Jayson Tatum after the Boston Celtics forward returned to action after suffering an Achilles injury during last year’s postseason.

Banchero shared the comments Saturday after leading the Orlando Magic to a 119-92 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 22-year-old forward finished with 25 points, 15 rebounds and three assists while shooting 10 of 18 from the field and 4 of 4 from the free-throw line in 35 minutes.

After the win, Banchero was asked about Tatum’s return to the court.

“It was great to see him out there. I just have to give him a lot of credit. I think his mentality was there from the beginning when he first got injured, I watched him over the summer and you could tell he was going to try to get back sooner than everyone thought. I didn’t know it would happen this season, but you could tell he was already working, even right after the injury.”

Banchero continued by emphasizing the challenge of returning from an Achilles injury and the impact of seeing Tatum back on the floor.

“So, it was great to see him out there and I think he’s an inspiration to everybody… Just for him to be completely recovered in front of the whole world and to come out and have a great game last night. It’s not easy to get over that injury, and I can only imagine how he had to deal with it mentally and all that stuff, but happy for him, man. Looking forward to getting down there against him. I think we’ll play Boston once again, see him in the playoffs, But yes, he is happy, for sure.”

Paolo Banchero praises Jayson Tatum as Celtics, Magic can meet again in playoffs

Tatum returned to the lineup in Boston’s 120-100 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night, helping the Celtics improve to 42-21, the second-best record in the Eastern Conference.

In his first game, the 28-year-old recorded 15 points, 12 rebounds, seven assists and one steal, while shooting 6-for-16 from the field and 3-for-8 from three-point range in 27 minutes.

Banchero and Tatum share a connection dating back to their college careers. Both players starred at Duke University before entering the NBA, with Tatum playing one season for the Blue Devils in 2016–17 and Banchero following a similar path during the 2021–22 season.

The Celtics and Magic also met in last year’s postseason, when Boston defeated Orlando in five games during the first round.

With the Magic currently positioned in the Eastern Conference play-in race, a postseason rematch is possible. Orlando improved to 34-28 with Saturday’s win and the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference. The Magic are tied with the Philadelphia 76ers for sixth place and one game behind the Toronto Raptors for the fifth seed.

Orlando will conclude its two-game road trip on Sunday night when it visits the Milwaukee Bucks (26-35) at 8:00 pm ET.

周六，奥兰多魔术队以 119-92 击败明尼苏达森林狼队，球队在德斯蒙德·贝恩、保罗·班切罗和贾伦·萨格斯的关键比赛中领衔。看看后者，萨格斯的魔术球星已经换上了新的秃头造型，这会引起班切罗的注意。

随后，在战胜森林狼队后向亚马逊 Prime 工作人员发表讲话时，班切罗被问及萨格斯的新造型，他说这“适合他”，并且他“很高兴”看到用它留下的回忆。

“嘿，伙计，我告诉他，新发型后他看起来年轻了五岁。你知道，我认为这很适合他。伙计，你可以看出他很高兴，你知道，他很高兴今天回到家，在家乡赢得胜利。我很高兴他能用那个光头留下很多回忆，”班切罗在周六拿下 25 分和 15 个篮板后说道。

这位 24 岁的 0 岁球员是否会保留这一造型还有待观察，但不可否认的是，他在上周二谈到这件作品时感觉很好，并表示这是受到队友杰文·卡特 (Jevon Carter) 的启发。

“好兽医。我认为他每天的工作方式都是一流的。毫无疑问，他是我见过的最勤奋的工作人员之一。我根据杰文的发型剪了头发。我正努力追随他秃头的脚步，”据杰森·比德说，萨格斯说。

“我喜欢秃头，”萨格斯继续说道。 “但是，是的，新的转变，新的进化。就像安昂在第三季中剪掉了头发一样 [referencing the show “Avatar: The Last Airbender”]。这就是我的感觉。”

＃魔法 后卫杰伦·萨格斯说，他的发型是为了纪念杰文·卡特。

“我正试图追随他秃头的脚步，”萨格斯说。 “……我最喜欢（他）的一点是，他多次让我承担责任。”

The Orlando Magic defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 119-92 on Saturday, with the team led by key players Desmond Benn, Paolo Banchero and Jalen Suggs. Judging by the latter, the Magic star at Suggs is sporting a new bald look that will catch Banchero’s attention.

Subsequently, speaking after the win over the Timberwolves in front of the Amazon Prime crew, Banchero was asked about Suggs’ new look, saying that it “fits him” and that he was “excited” to see the memories made with it.

“Hey man, I told him he looks about five years younger with the fresh cut. You know, I think it fits him. Man, you can tell he’s happy, you know, he was happy to be back home today, get a win here in his hometown. I’m excited to make a lot of memories with his bald head,” Banchero said after recording 25 points and 15 rebounds on Saturday.

It remains to be seen whether the 24-year-old will maintain this look, but it can’t be denied that he feels good with it as he talked about it last Tuesday, saying that it was inspired by teammate Jevon Carter.

“Good vet. I think the way he works every day is top notch. He’s definitely one of the hardest workers I’ve ever been around. I cut hair in the light of Jevon. I’m trying to follow in his footsteps with the bald,” Suggs said, according to Jason Beede.

Suggs added, “I love bald people.” “But yeah, new change, new evolution. It’s like when Aang cut his hair in Season 3 [referencing the show “Avatar: The Last Airbender”]. “That’s how I feel.”

#magical Guard Jalen Suggs said he cut his hair because of Javon Carter.

“I’m trying to follow in his footsteps with the bald guy,” Suggs said. “… My favorite thing about (him) is that he has held me accountable on multiple occasions.”

The Orlando Magic have struggled with inconsistency all season, and it all starts with the leadership of Paolo Banchero. Banchero has moments where he looks like a millionaire and he’s figuring out how to be a superstar in the association, but there are also some nights where some of his bad habits come to the fore. That’s what happened in Sunday night’s 106-92 loss to the East-leading Detroit Pistons.

Banchero had 24 points on only 10 field-goal attempts, so he got to the foul line a lot, which is a testament to how aggressive he was in getting to the basket. However, the Magic Stars were more careless than aggressive in some of their plays. They turned the ball over nine times, which is a straight-up death sentence against a Pistons team that tries to physically overwhelm any opponent that comes their way.

after the game, banchero is owned As for some of his missteps, he expressed his frustration at playing below the standards set for himself.

“I thought we had a lot of turnovers. You know, I had a lot of turnovers. Yeah, we gave them a lot of chances. I think it was some bad passes. I was trying to pass it to my teammates when maybe I should have just shot it,” Banchero said, per Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel.

“Some of them – a trip, a repeated call, just a bad night. Last game, I had no turnovers. This game, I had nine. So, very frustrating.”

“I thought we had too many turnovers. You know, I had too many turnovers,” #magical Forward Paolo Banchero accounted for Orlando’s 19 turnovers, of which he committed nine.

He added: “Last game, I didn’t have any turnovers. This game, I had nine. So, very disappointing.”

Magical battle for position in the east

If the season ended today, the Magic would once again be fighting for their lives in the play-in tournament. This will be the second consecutive season they have struggled to qualify for the playoffs, and it’s a bit disappointing considering how they went out and acquired Desmond Bane in a blockbuster.

Franz Wagner’s injury hasn’t helped, but overall, the Magic have fallen short of expectations this season with a 31-28 record.

奥兰多魔术队整个赛季都在与不稳定作斗争，而这一切都始于保罗·班切罗的带领。班切罗曾有过看起来像百万富翁的时刻，他正在研究如何成为协会中的超级巨星，但有些晚上他的一些坏习惯会悄悄出现。周日晚上的情况就是这样，他们以 106-92 输给了东部领先的底特律活塞队。

班切罗仅仅 10 次投篮就得到了 24 分，所以他确实经常走上罚球线，这证明了他篮下的侵略性。然而，这位魔术球星在他的一些比赛中更多的是鲁莽而不是侵略性。他有九次失误，这对活塞队来说简直就是死刑，因为活塞队希望在身体上压倒任何遇到的对手。

赛后，班切罗 拥有 对于他的一些失误，表达了他对低于自己设定的标准而感到沮丧。

“我认为我们失误太多了。你知道，我失误太多了。是的，我们只是给了他们太多机会。我认为这是几次糟糕的传球。试图把球交给我的队友，而也许我应该直接投篮，”班切罗说，据奥兰多哨兵队的杰森·比德报道。

“其中有一些——一次旅行，一次反复的电话，所以只是一个糟糕的夜晚。上一场比赛，我没有失误。这场比赛，我有九次失误。所以，非常令人沮丧。”

“我以为我们失误太多了。你知道，我失误太多了。” ＃魔法 前锋保罗·班切罗谈到奥兰多魔术队的 19 次失误，其中他犯了 9 次。

东部定位之神奇之战

如果赛季今天结束，魔术队将再次在附加赛中为自己的生死而战。这将是他们连续第二个赛季为了进入季后赛而必须战斗，考虑到他们是如何一鸣惊人地收购了德斯蒙德·贝恩，这有点令人失望。

瓦格纳的受伤并没有起到什么作用，但总的来说，魔术队本赛季的战绩为31胜28负，并没有完全达到预期。

奥兰多魔术队继续争夺 NBA 季后赛，目前他们在东部联盟积分榜上排名第七。尽管本赛季迄今为止经历了种种高潮和低谷，球队球星保罗·班切罗仍然是他们在攻防两端始终如一的领导者。始终注重细节的 Banchero 最新款 Air Jordan 4020 PE 运动鞋可能蕴藏着源于赛前仪式的隐藏含义。

魔术队的保罗·班切罗（Paolo Banchero）将是第一个承认在任何篮球活动之前进行伸展运动都是不可协商的事情的人。他详细描述了青少年时期遭受的胫骨夹板困扰，这阻碍了他的比赛，直到他遇到了一位教练，教他用橡皮筋进行伸展运动。虽然一开始很困难，班切罗还是坚持了常规，最终看到他的胫骨夹板消失了。从那时起，他就将这一惯例纳入了所有篮球活动之前。

“从那时起，我就从未停止过这样做，现在我无法锻炼，不这样做就无法练习，它激活了我的身体。我认为，保持我的身材、保持灵活性、能够向不同的方向移动等等，这都很重要。”

作为 Jordan Brand 签约运动员，Banchero 总是第一个使用最新 Jordan 技术打造自己的 PE（球员专属）。最近出现在 Air Jordan 4020 中，这款运动鞋与 Banchero 在日常活动中使用的橡皮筋的鲜绿色完美相似。以干净的白色和中性灰色为底色，我们可以看到后跟、外底的绿色，最引人注目的是横跨中足的超大带子。

在穿着新款 PE 的同时，班切罗拿下 16 分、7 个篮板和 8 次助攻，帮助球队以 111-109 战胜洛杉矶快船队。显然，赛前的拉伸和运动鞋都得到了回报，但我们不确定这款配色是否会立即向公众发布，或者仍然是前年度最佳新秀的专属。

Paolo Banchero had a 36-point performance Tuesday night to lead the Orlando Magic to a 110-109 win over the Los Angeles Lakers, capping a four-game Western Conference road trip and cementing his name among the franchise’s greats.

Banchero finished with a game-high 36 points, 10 rebounds and six assists in 38 minutes. He shot 12 of 22 from the field, 2 of 6 from 3-point range and 10 of 11 from the free-throw line, as the Magic improved to 31–26.

According to the team’s PR account on X, formerly known as Twitter, Banchero recorded the 14th game of his career with at least 35 points. This total ranks third in Orlando Magic history behind Tracy McGrady (75) and Shaquille O’Neal (54), and ahead of Anfernee Hardaway (13) and Dwight Howard (13).

This performance marked the third time in Banchero’s career that he posted at least 35 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in a game. This total ties him with O’Neal for the second-most such games in franchise history. McGrady holds the record with 16.

Jamahl Mosley praises Paolo Banchero’s aggressiveness, downhill attack against Lakers

Head coach Jamahl Mosley credited Banchero’s pressure and tenacity as the driving force behind the victory.

“Yeah, I think his aggression level, quick decisions, getting downhill, finding matchups he likes, attacking the basket, putting pressure on defense. I mean, more than anything, when you look at it, he got to the free throw line 11 times. That’s aggression. That’s determination. That’s focus, getting downhill. And then he’s knocking them down.”

Jamahl Mosley on Paolo Banchero’s 36 in win over Lakers:

“His aggressiveness – going down 11 times and getting to the line. That’s the focus. That’s the determination.

“He creates mismatches. Drive and kick to Desmond for a three – big-time play. pic.twitter.com/wgAXpc0Bxw

Mosley emphasized Banchero’s ability to create mismatches and make timely decisions, including a late drive-and-kick that led to a key 3-pointer from Desmond Bain.

“So just staying aggressive. As soon as he steps on the floor, he creates mismatches. He has eyes on him. These guys are full of him. So his quick decision-making ability, getting downhill, that last play where he attacks the downhill and passes it to Desmond for a knock down three, those are big-time plays. And that’s what we’re going to continue to need from him.”

Magic gains momentum after statement win in Los Angeles

Banchero took the same approach when asked about his performance.

“Yeah, just being aggressive, you know, being aggressive downhill, making plays for others. I think that always opens up the game for me. If I’m able to keep the defense honest with my passing. Yeah, being aggressive when the ball is in my hands, you know, making the defense respect me and always hunting my shots and looking for the pass as well.”

The 23-year-old has averaged 21.7 points, 7.4 rebounds and 5.3 assists over his last 10 games, while shooting 42.4% from the field and 37.5% from 3-point range in 36.4 minutes per contest. On the season, he averaged 21.5 points, a career-high 8.4 rebounds and five assists in 46 games while shooting 45% from the field.

This victory also has historical significance. As noted by Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel on X, Orlando’s wins over the Clippers (111–109) and Lakers (110–109) marked the franchise’s first season since 2012–13 in which it defeated both Los Angeles teams.

The Magic return home to open a four-game homestand against the Houston Rockets (35-21) on Thursday at 7:30 PM ET on Prime Video, looking to extend their two-game winning streak behind continued growth in the distinguished company of Banchero.

Paolo Banchero capped the Orlando Magic’s four-game Western Conference road trip with a 36-point performance in a 110-109 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night, but his impact extended beyond scoring. In consecutive matchups against Kawhi Leonard and Luka Doncic, Banchero took over the primary defensive duties, highlighting his ability as an elite two-way player.

Wendell Carter Jr., who recorded 20 points, 11 rebounds and two assists in 36 minutes – including the game-winning putback – praised Banchero’s defensive focus and competitiveness.

“Man, when P gets locked in defensively he’s one of the best in this league. In my opinion he has the potential to be one of the best two-way players to play this game. He had two big challenges the other night with Kawhi and then tonight with Luka. He accepted that challenge. When he’s in that mode, when he’s locked in, man, it unlocks his team and takes us to another level.”

On Sunday, Leonard scored 37 points against Orlando, adding eight rebounds, four assists, three steals and two blocks, while shooting 14 of 25 from the field. Two nights later, Doncic faced a more disruptive defensive presence from the Magic. The Lakers star finished with 22 points, 15 assists and nine rebounds, but shot 8-for-24 from the field and 2-for-10 from 3-point range while committing two turnovers.

Wendell Carter Jr. on Paolo Banchero’s defense this season:

Paolo Banchero accepts the challenge of protecting elite scorers

Banchero addressed the defensive responsibility of protecting leading scorers throughout the league.

“Yeah, I think it’s just me, you know, accepting the challenge. You know, I think a lot of times, you know, coaches want to, you know, have some better players to guard a guy. They don’t have to expend as much energy. But, you know, getting Jalen out, Franz out, they’re our two best perimeter defenders. And so I know I’ve got to step up on that side of the ball. And I’m a big I feel like I’m a good defender, especially on one on, guarding big guys, big guards.”

He acknowledged the difficulty of controlling the stars but emphasized effort and physicality.

Paolo on defending Kawhi Leonard, Luka Doncic in the last two games:

“With Jalen and Franz out, I know I have to step up. I’m a big guy, I can step up. You can’t stop guys like that, but you can be tough on them – make them miss some, force them to work.” pic.twitter.com/HMurC2OMrI

– Julian Ojeda (@jowepafm) 25 February 2026

“And so guarding guys like that, you can’t stop them from scoring, but you can get your heart on them, make them miss some shots, just make them expend a lot of energy. So that’s just what I’m trying to do. Kawhi obviously had a big night, but getting some stops and making it difficult and, you know, seeing him as a great player and just a creator with the ball in his hands, you know, he just Know what my body is trying to show you, be there when it’s trying to show off, pretend.

Banchero’s offensive output remained steady. Against the Lakers, he added 10 rebounds and six assists while shooting 12 of 22 from the field and 10 of 11 from the free-throw line in 38 minutes.

Magic cover Luka Doncic as Banchero delivers late against Lakers

Head coach Jamahl Mosley emphasized the collective challenge of defending Doncic while highlighting Banchero’s timely shot making.

“Listen, sometimes when he shoots, you just have to hope it doesn’t go in. Because he’s so good and when the game was on the line, he took the big three that put them up by three. And Paolo comes back and hits one. As soon as he goes up in a corner, you know it’s good because that’s what he did. I’ve seen him do it. He did it when we were in Dallas when we played in Portland. I did the same thing. Saw the perfect shot. So you just have to keep mixing up the coverages against him, make it tough, try your best to make it without fouls, and just keep making it tough against him.”

Orlando limited Doncic’s efficiency, holding him below his season average of 32.5 points. With the win, the Magic improved to 31–26 and had road wins over both Los Angeles teams in the same season for the first time since 2012–13.

The Magic return home on Thursday to begin a four-game homestand against the Houston Rockets (35-21). As Orlando continues its push into the Eastern Conference standings, Banchero’s willingness to defend elite scorers while carrying the offensive load underscores the franchise cornerstone’s growing two-way ceiling.

小德里克琼斯自从因内侧副韧带受伤缺席一个多月以来，一直为洛杉矶快船队做出了可靠的贡献。

尽管詹姆斯·哈登在交易截止日期前离开，快船队最近几周的表现依然出色，这并非巧合。琼斯是他们激增的重要组成部分，提供了双向活动。

周日早些时候在 Intuit Dome 对阵奥兰多魔术队的比赛中，琼斯再次展示了为什么他是阵容中不可或缺的一部分。保罗·班切罗（Paolo Banchero）在接到小温德尔·卡特·琼斯（Wendell Carter Jr. Jones）的掩护后短暂逃离了琼斯，然而， 很快就恢复了 封盖班切罗的跳投。

— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) 2026 年 2 月 23 日

在一场比赛中，琼斯展现了他的灵巧、弹跳能力和高智商。许多人在失去选秀权后会直接放弃，但这位志向远大的前锋拒绝这样做。

正是这种努力让29岁的琼斯留在了NBA。在他的第一个赛季中，他只被称为扣篮手。他几乎没有上场时间。尽管如此，他仍在努力提高自己的比赛水平，培养外线投篮能力，成为一名有用的3D球员。

多年来，他的角色不断增强，成为达拉斯小牛队闯入 2024 年 NBA 总决赛的关键人物。

他是科怀·伦纳德的完美补充，因为他不需要持球就能产生影响。

全明星赛后的两场比赛中，除去对阵魔术队的比赛，琼斯场均得到17.5分、5.5个篮板和1.0次盖帽。

周六晚，奥兰多魔术队在两个加时赛中以 113-110 输给菲尼克斯太阳队，杰伦·格林投进压哨三分球结束了一场有来有回的比赛。失败后，保罗·班切罗指出了三个被证明是决定性的关键问题：犯规麻烦、失误和二次机会。

班切罗上场47分钟，得到26分、14个篮板、8次助攻和4次盖帽。他28投11中，罚球4投4中，帮助奥兰多将比赛拖入两个加时赛。

最后一击后，班切罗描述了他在决定性比赛中的有利位置。

“我不在球上，所以我专注于防守内线球员。我并没有真正看到太多，只是转过头，球就在空中。”

虽然比赛因格林的射门而结束，但班切罗指出了在最后控球之前很久就发生的情况。奥兰多因犯规问题失去了德斯蒙德·贝恩和小温德尔·卡特，而弗朗茨·瓦格纳和贾伦·萨格斯因伤缺席。萨格斯在周六比赛前不久被排除在外。

“我的意思是不理想，但是 [I] 我以为我们打得很努力，但我只是认为我们在他们的比赛中打得不够多——比我们多了几场，是的，确实有点刺痛。只是 [a] 艰难的比赛。”

失误、进攻篮板让比赛向太阳队倾斜

贝恩在犯满离场前打出了他本赛季最强的表现之一，全场拿下 34 分、4 个篮板、3 次助攻、2 次抢断和 1 次盖帽。他在40分钟内18投12中，三分球9投5中，罚球5投5中。卡特出战34分钟，4投2中，罚球3投3中，得到7分、11个篮板和1次助攻。

除了犯规问题之外，班切罗还强调了奥兰多队的球权安全性和无法控制篮板球的能力。

“这确实伤害了我们。我们知道他们是一支拥有第二次得分机会的球队，而且他们的防守非常猛烈。他们在这方面做得非常好，你知道，他们为自己赢得了很多额外的控球权，在进攻篮板上投进了很多匕首三分，所以 [it] 肯定伤害了我们。”

魔术队出现了 16 次失误，其中班切罗 6 次失误，导致菲尼克斯队得到 22 分。奥兰多还丢掉了22个进攻篮板，并丢掉了23个二次机会得分，而太阳队在这些延长的回合中23投8中。

贾马尔·莫斯利表示，在魔术队的失败中，小细节显得尤为重要

主教练贾马尔·莫斯利回应了班切罗的评估，并指出了丢球的累积效应。

“我们给了自己机会。这发生在一场比赛中——球员们会犯规，将会出现犯规麻烦。整个赛季都会有伤病。你必须给予菲尼克斯很大的荣誉，但这是一场来来回回的战斗。但在这样的一场比赛中，关键在于小事情和小细节。我们不能在16次拿下22分的情况下丢掉22个进攻篮板。这些都是你的财产。无法回来，但我们的球员战斗到了最后，显然是在这种情况下，我们必须确保我们继续做一些小事情，而联盟的伟大之处在于你必须在明天再次做到这一点。”

莫斯利还称赞格林的决定性投篮。

“他打出了一记精彩的投篮。我认为在那条底线上有一些分离，也许他被推离了路线，他做了出色的工作回来并进行了比赛，但杰伦·格林投出了一记精彩的投篮。你必须赞扬他这一球。”

保罗·班切罗 (Paolo Banchero) 在 2OT 失利后将注意力转向快船队

奥兰多魔术队现在将焦点转向他们四场客场之旅的第二晚，将于美国东部时间周日晚上 9:00 在 NBA TV 上客场挑战洛杉矶快船队 (27-29)。班切罗表示，周六失利的许多教训将延续到比赛中。

“是的，快船队 [are] 一支优秀的球队，他们做了一些交易。他们看起来有点不同，但我认为我们会重点关注今晚杀死我们的许多相同的东西，撞到玻璃，他们撞得很厉害，防守。是的，我们必须做好迎接挑战的准备，他们是一支优秀的团队，那里的人也很好，所以是的，我们必须尽快扭转局面。”

尽管周五晚上输给了洛杉矶湖人队，但洛杉矶队已经从本赛季 6 胜 21 负的开局反弹。快船队在交易截止日期前重组了阵容，将詹姆斯·哈登送到克利夫兰骑士队换来达柳斯·加兰，并将伊维察·祖巴茨送到印第安纳步行者队，以换取本尼迪克特·马图林、以赛亚·杰克逊、两个首轮选秀权和一个第二轮选秀权。

对于奥兰多来说，犯错的余地仍然很小。正如班切罗所概述的那样，犯规麻烦、失误和二次机会得分在一场由单次控球决定的比赛中起着决定性作用。

The Orlando Magic suffered a 113-110 double-overtime loss to the Phoenix Suns on Saturday night when Jalen Green knocked down a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to end a back-and-forth contest. After the loss, Paolo Banchero identified three key issues that proved decisive: foul trouble, turnovers and second-chance opportunities.

Banchero finished with 26 points, 14 rebounds, eight assists and four blocks in 47 minutes. He shot 11 of 28 from the field and 4 of 4 from the free-throw line, while helping Orlando push the game into two extra periods.

After the final shot, Banchero described his advantage in the decisive game.

“I wasn’t on the ball so my focus was on protecting the inbounder. I didn’t really see much, just turned my head and the ball was in the air.”

While the game ended on Green’s shot, Banchero pointed to circumstances that developed long before the final possession. Orlando lost Desmond Benn and Wendell Carter Jr. to foul trouble, while Franz Wagner and Jalen Suggs were unavailable due to injury. Suggs was ejected shortly before Saturday’s contest.

“I don’t mean ideal, but [I] Thought we played hard, I didn’t think we made enough plays down the stretch they did – a little more than we did and yes, definitely a little bit of a loss. Now! [a] Tough game.”

Turnovers, offensive rebounds tilt game toward Suns

Ben had one of his strongest performances of the season, finishing with 34 points, four rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block, before fouling out. He shot 12 of 18 from the field, 5 of 9 from 3-point range and 5 of 5 from the free-throw line in 40 minutes. Carter added seven points, 11 rebounds and one assist while shooting 2-for-4 from the field and 3-for-3 from the line in 34 minutes.

Beyond the foul trouble, Banchero emphasized Orlando’s ball security and inability to control the glass.

“Obviously we got hurt. We knew they were a big second-chance points team and they crashed the glass very hard. They did a great job of, you know, getting themselves a lot of extra possessions, getting a lot of dagger threes off offensive rebounds, so [it] “We are definitely hurt.”

The Magic committed 16 turnovers, including six from Banchero, leading to 22 Phoenix points. Orlando also surrendered 22 offensive rebounds and allowed 23 second-chance points, with the Suns scoring 8 of 23 on those extended possessions.

Jamahl Mosley says little things add up in big ways in Magic defeat

Coach Jamahl Mosley reiterated Banchero’s evaluation, noting the cumulative impact of lost possessions.

“We gave ourselves a chance. It happens within a game – guys are going to foul out, foul trouble is going to happen. There are going to be injuries throughout the season. You have to give Phoenix a lot of credit, but it was a back-and-forth battle. But in a game like this, it’s about the little things and the little details. We can’t do it more than 16 times for 22 points and also have 22 offensive rebounds. Can’t give up. Can’t come back. But our guys fought till the end, obviously, despite the situation. The best thing about the league is you have to turn around and do it again.”

Mosley also credited Green for the decisive shot.

“He had a helluva shot. I think there was some separation on that baseline, maybe he got thrown off his route, he did a helluva job of coming back and countering it, but Jalen Green hit a helluva shot. You’ve got to give him credit for that.”

Paolo Banchero turns his focus to Clippers after 2OT loss

The Orlando Magic now focus on the second night of their four-game road trip, visiting the Los Angeles Clippers (27-29) on Sunday at 9:00 p.m. on NBA TV. Banchero said many of the lessons from Saturday’s loss will carry over into the match.

“Yeah, Clippers [are] A good team, they made some trades. They look a little different, but I think it puts a lot of emphasis on the same thing that killed us tonight, hitting the glass, crashing very hard as they defend. Yes, just have to be ready for the challenge, they are a good team, good guys there so yes, it will have to change quickly.

Los Angeles has bounced back from a 6-21 start to the season despite a loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night. The Clippers reshaped their roster at the trade deadline, trading James Harden to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Darius Garland and sending Ivica Zubac to the Indiana Pacers in exchange for Benedict Mathurin, Isaiah Jackson, two first-round picks and a second-round selection.

For Orlando, the margin for error is small. As Banchero underlined, foul trouble, turnovers and second-chance points proved decisive in a game decided by a single possession.

奥兰多魔术队在全明星赛结束后表现出色，以 131-94 战胜萨克拉门托国王队，同时创造了球队三分球命中数纪录。

奥兰多队在三分线外 50 次出手中，有 27 次命中，整个晚上都展示了球的移动、空间和信心。保罗·班切罗 (Paolo Banchero) 率先发力，他早早就发挥了自己的意志，在 32 分钟内拿下 30 分、6 次助攻、5 个篮板、1 次抢断和 1 次盖帽。他投篮21投10中，三分球7投5中，罚球线5投5中。

赛后，班切罗指出执行力和信任是创纪录表现的关键。

班切罗说：“是的，这是一个很好的方式，可以在中场休息后创造三分纪录，开始赛季后半程。” “这是一个很好的迹象，是的，我认为我们做得很好，就像我说的那样，找到优势，然后从那里开始比赛，找到空位的人。”

他赞扬了球队的远射果断。

“我认为我们做得很好，让防守必须对我们所做的事情做出反应，然后导致一个人处于空位，找到那个人，然后无论那个人是谁——介入他们的射门并充满信心地将其击倒，”班切罗说。 “我认为今天的三分球没有犹豫。当他们处于空位时，大家都放手一搏，包括我自己，你知道，只是对投篮充满信心，接受结果，但今天他们却在高水平上下滑。”

保罗·班切罗 (Paolo Banchero) 的进攻和防守为球队在对阵国王队的三分之夜注入了活力

班切罗还强调了他参加比赛的心态。

“只是想站出来，强加我的意志，表现出侵略性，”他说。 “就像你说的，很多重要的比赛即将到来，所以我认为球队中的每个人都明白，只要出来，尽一切努力赢得这些比赛。”

主教练贾马尔·莫斯利将进攻爆发与防守强度联系起来。

“我真的认为这是我们的防守创造了一些早期的、轻松的进攻外观，”莫斯利说。 “我们能够下坡，攻击篮筐，然后我们能够获得三分球的机会。我认为我们的球员在分享球、移动球、信任传球以及信任队友方面做得很好。”

莫斯利将这一特许经营里程碑归功于准备和间隔。

“我觉得这很棒，”他说。 “我认为昨天队员们在训练中表现出色，了解了我们在对阵这支球队时将要投篮的情况。我们的教练做得很好，让这些队员处于正确的位置、正确的空间，队员们自信、自在地站稳脚跟，准备好投篮。”

西海岸之旅继续，魔术队防守延续抢断纪录

他还赞扬了班切罗的自信。

“我喜欢他融入比赛的方式，一开始就非常有侵略性，下坡，在空位时攻击篮筐，介入投篮，找到知道如何防守他的球员，”莫斯利说。 “我认为他在寻找队友方面做得很好，但就我们球队的整体而言，我认为我们在相信防守引导进攻方面做得非常好，这就是为什么球会像现在这样跳跃。”

防守压力在盒子得分中显而易见。魔术队在萨克拉门托队取得了 13 次抢断。球队公关账户表示，这标志着奥兰多队连续第五场比赛至少抢断 10 次，追平了球队历史上第三长的连续抢断纪录。最长连续抢断10次以上的比赛是7场，时间是1994年1月29日至2月18日。

这方面的活动有助于增加转换机会和早期进攻，强化莫斯利对防守产生节奏和信心的重视。

凭借这场胜利，奥兰多将战绩提升至 29 胜 25 负，仅半场之差就领先费城 76 人队（30 胜 25 负），排名东部第六。周六东部时间下午 5:00，魔术队将在 NBA TV 上继续他们的西海岸之旅，对阵菲尼克斯太阳队 (32-24)。

The Orlando Magic had a stellar performance coming out of the All-Star break, posting a 131–94 win over the Sacramento Kings while setting a franchise record for 3-pointers.

Orlando connected on 27 of his 50 attempts from beyond the arc, showcasing ball movement, spacing and confidence all night. Leading the charge was Paolo Banchero, who imposed his will early and finished with 30 points, six assists, five rebounds, one steal and one block in 32 minutes. He shot 10 of 21 from the field, 5 of 7 from 3-point range, and 5 of 5 from the free-throw line.

After the game, Banchero pointed to execution and belief as keys to the record-setting performance.

“Yeah, it’s a good, good way to start this back half of the season after the break by getting a three-point record,” Banchero said. “That’s a good sign and yeah, I think we did a good job like I said, finding the advantage and then playing from there and finding the open man.”

He credited the team’s scoring ability from long range.

“I think we did a good job of letting the defense react to what we were doing and then getting a guy open, finding that guy, and then whoever it was – stepping into their shot and hitting it with confidence,” Banchero said. “I thought guys didn’t shy away from threes today. When they’re open, guys let it fly, including me, you know, just being confident in the shot, staying with the results and today they were hitting at a high level.”

Paolo Banchero’s aggression, defense fuel franchise 3-point night vs. Kings

Banchero also emphasized his mindset entering the competition.

“I’m just trying to come out, impose my will, be aggressive,” he said. “As you said, there are a lot of important games coming up, so I think everybody on the team understands that just coming out, doing whatever we have to do to win these games.”

Head coach Jamahl Mosley paired offensive explosion with defensive intensity.

“I really think it was our defense that was making some early, easy offensive looks,” Mosley said. “We were able to get down low, attack the basket, and then we were able to spray out for set three on legs. I thought our guys did a great job of sharing it out, moving it up, trusting the pass and just trusting our teammates.”

Mosley credited preparation and spacing for the franchise milestone.

“I thought it was great,” he said. “I think the guys did a great job in practice yesterday, understanding what shots we were going to get against this team. Our coaches did a great job of setting these guys up in the right situations, in the right spots, and guys were confident and comfortable and ready to get their feet wet and make shots.”

Magical Defense Increases Stealing Process as West Coast Tour Continues

He also praised Banchero’s tenacity.

Mosley said, “I like how he settled into the game, started being very aggressive early on, started getting down low, attacking the basket when she was open, stepping into a shot, letting people know how they were guarding him.” “I thought they did a great job of finding teammates, but overall on our team I think we did a great job of trusting our defense to carry our offense, and that’s why the ball was bouncing the way it was.”

The defensive pressure was evident in the box score. The Magic recorded 13 steals in Sacramento. The team’s PR account shared that this is the fifth consecutive game in which Orlando has recorded at least 10 steals, the third-longest in franchise history. The longest streak of games with 10 or more steals is seven, set from January 29 to February 18, 1994.

The activity at that end helped promote transition opportunities and early attack, reinforcing Mosley’s emphasis on creating rhythm and confidence in defence.

With the win, Orlando improved to 29–25, and moved within a half game of the sixth-seeded Philadelphia 76ers (30–25) in the Eastern Conference. The Magic continue their West Coast trip against the Phoenix Suns (32-24) on Saturday at 5:00 PM ET on NBA TV.

The Orlando Magic will return from All-Star weekend facing new adversity.

With a road matchup against the Sacramento Kings (12-44) scheduled for Thursday at 10:00 PM ET, Orlando (28-25) will move on without star forward Franz Wagner, who has been ruled out indefinitely as he recovers from left ankle sprain-related soreness.

Speaking at Thursday’s practice, Paolo Banchero stressed patience as Wagner works toward a full recovery.

“I mean he’s one of the key members of our team and you know we need him, but at the same time we don’t want him to come back before he’s ready and so it’s unfortunate,” Banchero said.

“You know, he came back in and out twice and then he had to be out again, so I want him to take his time – however long it takes – and get completely healthy because we don’t want him to go out there if he’s not feeling like himself. So, I think the biggest thing is to let him take his time to get healthy.”

Paolo Banchero, Jamahl Mosley highlight Franz Wagner’s value beyond the box score

The 24-year-old Wagner is in his fifth NBA season and remains a central figure in Orlando’s offense. In 28 games, he has averaged 21.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.1 steals per contest, while shooting 47.9% from the field and 36.5% from 3-point range in 31.8 minutes per game.

Head coach Jamahl Mosley underlined Wagner’s value beyond the box score, pointing to his work ethic and leadership within the locker room.

“I mean, there aren’t words that can explain what Franz means to this team, his toughness, his resiliency, his desire and desire to get back on the court,” Mosley said.

“Every guy on this team knows his work ethic and his care factor for this group. There aren’t many words that can describe it for this group, but also for him. I talked to him last night and talked about his ability and said he just wants to be on the field and that’s what’s been hardest, but also understanding how capable this group is of achieving the things that we say we want to do, even with him being out for this amount of time.”

Magic’s Moritz Wagner opens up about brother Franz’s emotional battle

Wagner’s absence also holds a personal dimension for teammate and brother Moritz Wagner.

“I mean, first of all, it sucks because he’s my brother and you have a pretty high-level relationship and he’s obviously not happy with it and he’s struggling emotionally and all that stuff,” Moritz said.

“You don’t like to see that happen for a family member. Obviously for us as players, big as well because he has such a big impact on the game but mainly I care more about the guy and I feel really bad for him.”

Moritz said recovery extends beyond physical rehabilitation.

“I think my biggest advice is and what I’ve learned is that it only works out well when you’re emotionally free, peaceful and relaxed,” she said.

“You can’t fight it every day, so having a time frame in which you’re doing your rehabilitation rather than a day-to-day structure is more peaceful for the mind and more efficient for the body to recover, and I think he’s been adapting to that over the last few days and we’ll see in three weeks. But it’s so nice to have that time to rest.” [the] Let the mind and body do their work and be ready when you are ready.

As Orlando begins the final stretch of the regular season, the organization has made clear that its priority is to ensure Wagner returns to full strength rather than sending him back before he is ready.

The Orlando Magic have been a major disappointment this year, currently sitting at 28-25 as they prepare to return from the All-Star break. The Magic pushed all of their chips to the center of the table in the offseason by trading for Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Benn, but so far, they don’t have much to show for it.

One of the biggest culprits for the Magic’s decline has been the play of Paolo Banchero, who has largely lagged behind so far this season.

Recently, former NBA great Kendrick Perkins put a harsh label on Banchero on ESPN’s NBA Today.

“I’ll go a little further and say Paolo Banchero has been the most disappointing player-wise,” Perkins, formerly of the NBA on ESPN, said on Twitter.

While Banchero still has a lot of natural talent, many fans have grown tired of his poor shot selection, occasional lapses in defense, and overall lack of progress from his rookie year.

This, along with persistent injury concerns for the Magic, especially to co-star Franz Wagner, has Orlando currently sitting in a play-in position in the East, well below where most pundits projected them to be at this point in the season.

Of course, Orlando still has plenty of time to turn things around, and it’s unlikely that Banchero can improve his basketball IQ and decision-making as his career progresses. However, for now, he is hoping to avoid following the career path of players like Ja Morant, who received accolades early in his career before slowly slipping into obscurity.

In any case, the Magic will next take the field on Thursday evening when they begin their West Coast trip against the Sacramento Kings, their first game since the All-Star break. Tipoff is scheduled for 10:00 pm ET.

有幾位頗具影響力的 NBA 球員似乎總是處於超級巨星的風口浪尖，但卻無法躋身聯盟的上層梯隊。埃文·莫布里尚未進入這個精英領域，因此克利夫蘭騎士隊也沒有進入這個精英領域（26-20）。這位 24 歲的球員在獲得年度最佳防守球員榮譽後，已經是一位頗有成就的大個子，但球迷和專家都相信他在進攻方面還可以提升到另一個水平。嗯，週六他的表現確實有所提升。

在克利夫蘭客場對陣奧蘭多魔術隊（23-20）的比賽中，這位騎士隊明星大前鋒展示了球隊所需的強度。莫布里沒有受到保羅·班切羅的影響，他攻擊籃筐，並在這位 2022-23 年度最佳新秀的頭上扣籃。他精力充沛，勢不可擋，竭盡全力在這場有趣的東部比賽中早早定下基調。

不幸的是，正如本賽季的情況一樣，莫布里正在努力保持進攻節奏。半場結束時，他10投3中，三分球3次全部失手。

多諾萬·米切爾繼續在進攻端承擔起巨大的責任，以 48.2% 的命中率拿下 29.0 分。他接受了最高職位，但他可以使用另一個阿爾法來真正分擔他的負擔。也許莫布里注定只會有零星的火山噴發。即使他在比賽中沒有邁出下一步，這位 2025 年全明星球員仍然是一位不可否認的改變者，他在防守上表現出色，場均得分仍然達到 18.0 分。

然而，如果埃文·莫布里能夠成為米切爾毫無疑問可靠的二號人物，那麼騎士隊應該有合法的東部冠軍頭銜。粉絲們厭倦了假設。他們希望看到完全釋放的莫布里向前邁進。不管公平與否，他的進攻穩定性可能決定克利夫蘭 2026 年的上限。

從更微觀的角度來看，他的表現可能決定今晚奧蘭多的結果。半場結束，騎士隊以55-48領先魔術隊。

奧斯汀·里弗斯就最近圍繞明星前鋒保羅·班切羅的言論向奧蘭多魔術隊球迷發出了警告信息，稱公眾批評可能會對賽季期間的球員產生切實的影響。

里弗斯在最近一集《Off Guard》中與奧斯汀·里弗斯討論了這個話題，指出球隊在沒有明星的比賽中取得成功如何會無意中影響敘事和審查。他強調，球員們都知道網上的談話，長時間的批評會影響信心、精力和場上的表現。

“保羅的事情必須要談一談，兄弟。我是這孩子的忠實粉絲。我愛保羅。我真誠地認為，當一支球隊在沒有最好的球員的情況下取得成功時，它只會導致一些事情。這不是保羅的錯。這發生在最好的球員身上。球迷們需要小心他們如何談論他們的球員。他們認為我們沒有聽到。他們認為我們沒有看到。他們認為我們不會在每場比賽后上推特或Instagram。然後他們當像保羅這樣的球員開始帶著某種能量打球時，他就會變得害羞——就像他不想在那裡一樣。”

23 歲的班切羅曾是年度最佳新秀，曾一度入選全明星，但本賽季他的得分有所下降。在 30 場比賽中，他場均得到 20.9 分，低於上賽季職業生涯最高的 25.9 分，此外還有 8.7 個籃板和 4.9 次助攻。他場均上場 33.7 分鐘，投籃命中率為 45.3%，三分命中率為職業生涯最低的 25.2%。

我同意 @AustinRivers25 在這裡，但公平地說，關於保羅的很多噪音和敘述都來自奧蘭多以外。

奧蘭多魔術隊目前戰績為22勝18負，在東部聯盟積分榜上排名第六。作為 NBA 全球系列賽的一部分，魔術隊將與孟菲斯灰熊隊進行兩場國際比賽，週四下午 2:00 在德國柏林的 Prime Video 上進行比賽，隨後周日中午 12:00 在英國倫敦的 Prime Video 上進行一場比賽。

奧斯汀·里弗斯警告魔術隊球迷，因為對保羅·班切羅的審查越來越多

結果的對比引發了當地的討論。奧蘭多本賽季在沒有班切羅的情況下取得了7勝3負的戰績，而當他在陣容中時，奧蘭多的戰績為15勝15負，里弗斯在提到分裂的同時警告不要從短期表現中得出結論。

“這和我認識的保羅·班切羅不一樣。他投出了很多有爭議的強硬兩分球。他在比賽中沒有同樣的波普。你可以看到他很沮喪。他總是看著裁判。他的肢體語言不太好。你能感覺到。這是奧蘭多每個人都在談論的事情。就像，‘伙計，我們需要擺脫保羅。我們需要交易保羅。’”

里弗斯表示，這種反應在球迷言論和場上表現之間形成了反饋循環。

“你們都需要小心這些狗屎，因為球員們看到了它，他們感受到了它。然後一些從來沒有的東西變成了有的東西，我不會把這一切都歸咎於奧蘭多的球迷。保羅也有責任。這不是無法挽回的事情。勝利可以治愈一切。他們連續贏了五場，沒有人對這一切感到驚訝。那天晚上，當他擊中比賽制胜球並將其從玻璃上摔下來時，我沒有聽到那天晚上沒有人談論交易保羅。這確實是一件好事，這意味著你有一支優秀的球隊——但它創造了一些東西，這在奧蘭多無處不在，就像球迷為比賽帶來能量一樣——他們稱球迷為“第六人”，這也可以翻譯成“兄弟”。

里弗斯認為這種情況提醒人們，動力、勝利和耐心往往會重塑敘事，而持續的審視可能會放大 NBA 賽季中暫時的掙扎。
