Chapter 217 Championship Bonus Period
Next, the Magic experienced back-to-back away games and also achieved a record of one win and one loss.
Before the All-Star Game, the Mavericks and the Nets completed a trade, sending Devin Harris, Desaguena Diop, Trenton Hassell, Maurice Agger, and Keith Van Horn.
, two future draft picks and some cash, from the Nets in exchange for Jason Kidd, Malik Allen and Antoine Wright.
However, because the trade clarification period has not passed during the All-Star period, and the roster confirmation has been completed, Kidd still plays for the Eastern Stars.
However, after the All-Star Game, Kidd naturally went to the Mavericks, and the Nets' troika directly removed the front of the car. Even at home, they could not cause any hindrance to the Magic.
However, Carter and Jefferson worked very hard in this game. Both of them committed 6 fouls. The two teams also fought fiercely until the last two minutes of the fourth quarter.
Li Chengming's personal offensive status was good, scoring 35 points on 14-of-20 shots. However, his effectiveness in organizing the offense was still average, with 6 assists but 4 turnovers.
Lewis was more efficient in this game, making 3 of 4 from the three-point line and winning 12 free throws; Howard's free throws were delayed this time, making 7 of 15, so the opponent used the shark-cutting tactic again. This was also the third quarter.
The reason for once catching up with the score.
However, in the second game of back-to-back games, the Magic lost again in Philadelphia. This was also the second time in a row that the Magic lost to the same team in a week.
The opponent's perimeter team showed off their strength. The starting perimeter trio scored 74 points, and the backcourt duo even scored 26 points with a shooting rate of over 60%. It would be strange to not win despite the situation.
Of course, from the data point of view, today has become another day when Li Chengming is alone.
He scored 30+ points back to back. As a result, Lewis had a poor touch and shot 1 of 7 from the outside. Howard was troubled by free throws for two consecutive games and did not dare to send the ball to him in the last two minutes.
Although he still grabbed 16 rebounds and blocked 3 shots, his offensive efficiency was so poor that he was held back.
Of course, defense is actually the main reason why the Magic played like this. The scores of the two teams were even in the first half, but before the end of the first half, they were beaten by the opponent due to free throws and mistakes. After that, the breath was released directly.
.
Then they lost to the Knicks again, and it was basically the same story.
Crawford scored 33 points on 6-of-8 shooting from the outside. Li Chengming was made into a rice dumpling. As a result, he could neither return the ball nor make a shot.
Howard's free throws have been stable at about 50% recently, allowing the opponent to use the tactic of cutting Huo with confidence. Once the Magic gets into a rhythm, a direct foul allows Howard to make one of two free throws, which can interrupt their rhythm.
They say it’s mud and mud, and the Knicks are really bad either. In fact, they don’t need to be bad at all. After all, they haven’t had a reliable draft in recent years, and they don’t know how to cultivate them in this environment. Finally, I said
Maybe all the good seedlings will be wasted directly.
In Tuesday's game, the Magic successfully avenged the Raptors and did not suffer a three-game losing streak.
Although the opponent is missing Bosh this time, the other main players are still there. However, the three main players of the Magic have recovered their form in this game. All three of them scored 20+, and Li Chengming even played a game against Turkoglu.
In a game like this, he scored 24 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists on 9-of-16 shooting. He seemed to have finally found a bit of a playmaker.
In the eight games after the All -Star, the Magic team was 4 wins and 4 losses, which is basically a rhythm to win and one game. This ups and downs is obviously not the first team of the league.
However, the Green Army did not seize the chance of this number. Although with the buffer of the All -Star, Garnett returned to the injury, but did not expect that the All -Star returned.
I almost thought they were over this season.
Fortunately, after the game was adjusted, there was another wave of victory, and it fell as well as the roller coaster, and the thief was stimulated.
And teams such as Pistons also have fluctuations, which leads to the not good record of the Magic team's time, but at a glance, it is still stable in the first place in the east.
As a result, there are many sounds of singing and declining. Fans also thought that the team was going to be finished, but looking at the record, the ranking felt that the east is going to be finished, right?
Of course, there are still many people who can see the recent adjustment of the magic team, especially for the change of Li Cheng's famous play.
In the latest NBA inside story involved in Barcley and others, when it comes to the ranking of the best rookie in the last two issues, the top of the list undoubtedly gave Li Chengming before mentioning Li Chengming's recent game performance.
If two or three weeks before the All -Star game, this best rookie still retains a little suspense, then Li Chengming continued to outbreak with the All -Star game, and the All -Star Weekend Li Chengming got the Rookie MVP and was selected as Zhengzheng.
The performance of the game gradually unified the outside world.
Even if there are people who are unwilling, at this time, it is really impossible to pick out what is stronger than Du Lan.
Although the magic team's recent record is undulating, not to mention that the record has little effect on the best rookie. Instead, because of the absence of Tegelu, Li Chengming has more power and opportunities.
Bad places, such as increasing mistakes, defensive weaknesses, but more highlights.
Just the data alone, it is about to complete the full siege of Durant.
Of course, since Li Chengming has now been regarded as the best rookie, then everyone will naturally start looking at him with another set of standards.
Barcley said: "If according to my thoughts, I don't think Li's current performance is worthy of my previous expectations. Hidu's absence, I think it is indeed a good opportunity, but now he often has some lost loss now.
The case.
"Of course, I don't think this is his question. What is Stan doing? He really thinks that a 19 -year -old boy can easily replace a veteran who is only thirty years old?
, Li is still far away. "
Kenny Smith laughed: "I can understand coach Fan Gandi. If I coach, I have such a good seedling, and there is such an opportunity. We can practice troops while waiting for him to come back.
"Although everyone thinks that the Magic team has the strength to impact the championship this season, in my opinion, they are too young. The performance of the regular season cannot explain anything. The playoffs are the biggest test of them.
"Especially like Li, this first -year rookie can still have the present play in the playoffs, I maintain doubts. So in my opinion, what they need to do this season only accumulate sufficient playoff experience experience this season.
When the next season is more mature, they can continue to impact the record, and they can really launch a impact on the championship. "
In fact, there are not a few thoughts like he thought, but many people in the Magic team think so.
After all, the Pistons were also the first in the regular season last season. In the end, wasn't it overturned by the Cavaliers?
Well, this example is not clear enough. After all, compared with the two, the Cavaliers with younger cores are obviously the young team that is less experienced.
Anyway, for Li Chengming and the Magic team, whether the outside world is optimistic or not optimistic, it means that they have reached a certain position, and everyone does not seem to just say before, but really starts to consider them seriously.
It has launched the impact on the highest stage.
Even with their current 47 wins and 15 losses, they can get a 60+ record in the remaining 20 games in the remaining 20 games. This is already a great record.
Then, then
You must know that in the history of the magic team, the last time you got the 60+ record, it must be traced back to the team when the big shark O'Neal was still in the team.
Obviously, this time, there is another magic team with a "first center" and a capable general, and there are signs of the history of the sprint team.
The magic team was killed at the finals, but it returned from the feathers, and it quickly fell apart. The shark westward Journey, Hadaway was injured, so that the pair of combinations could not reach the upper limit that the outside world expected, and it was a pity.
So this time, can the magic team seize the best opportunity to be in the period of championship?
