比赛的强度和活力需要持续性，尤其防守的时候，但是显然目前还不够。

There were stretches of intensity and activity for the U. S. and they buckled down defensively when they really needed to, but it wasn't consistent enough.

尤其在防守上，魔术也许会在每个位置上都会有些吃力，并且很难在接下来的38场比赛中保持现在这种优异的表现。

Defensively, in particular, the Magic appeared to make a downgrade at every position and may have trouble replicating this excellence over the final 38 games.

虽然我不觉得他们能夺冠——因为他们的防守，尤其防空能力不足。

I cannot see them going all the way, though - their defence is too suspect, especially in the air.
