Before game two of the playoff series at the Boston Celtics, the German star Franz Wagner of Orlando Magic is confident.
Basketball world champion Franz Wagner believes in a surprise with Orlando Magic in the second game of the NBA playoffs with Meister Boston Celtics.
“I think we have the staff to defend them here in Boston well. We showed it in the first game when we played really good defense.
Boston wins game one
In the first game of the round of 16 series last Sunday, Orlando led 49:48 at halftime, but after a weak third quarter, but in the end with 86: 103 lost. Wagner offered a good idea with 23 points.
In the night of Thursday (1:00 a.m. CEST) Orlando has the next chance to annoy the favorite. “Every game is important. It would be very good for us if we can get one here in the first two games. If we want to win the series, we have to win one here anyway,” said Wagner.
In the best-of-Seven series, after the first two duels in Boston, two games go to Orlando. With two defeats on the account, Wagner and Co. are under pressure at home. In the pre-season, Orlando had left Wagner’s first play-off participation in the first round after seven games against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
