Magic talent Franz Wagner will be blocked by NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo on December 30, 2021.
Once again, a strong performance by Franz and Moritz Wagner in the NBA remains unrewarded. Orlando had no chance against the reigning champions, the Milwaukee Bucks and their star player Giannis Antetokounmpo.
In their last game of the year, the Orlando Magic suffered a defeat in the North American basketball league NBA despite the strong German brother duo of Franz (20) and Moritz Wagner (24).
One day after his career record, when Franz Wagner had 38 points at 110: 127 against the champions Milwaukee Bucks, the Berliner scored 20 points on the night from Thursday to Friday (December 31, 2021). Again the winner at 118: 136 was Milwaukee.
NBA coach praises Franz Wagner: “He shows professionalism”
“We keep talking about the professionalism that you have to display in order to be successful. He shows it, ”said coach Jamahl Mosley (43) about the rookie, who averaged 15.8 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists this season. Due to his outstanding achievements so far, Wagner recently jumped to first place on the prestigious rookie ladder and would be the best newcomer to the NBA at this point in time.
It was the Magic’s fourth consecutive loss. With a record of 7:29 wins, they are second to last in the Eastern Conference. Milwaukee is third in the east. Franz’s brother Moritz came off the bench and set his personal best of the season with 19 points.
The Brooklyn Nets suffered a setback after losing 102-110 to the Philadelphia 76ers at home. Kevin Durant (33) and James Harden (32) each scored 33 points. In addition, the Washington Wizards won 110-93 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The duel between the Denver Nuggets and the Golden State Warriors had been canceled due to a few corona cases at the home side. (dpa)
