Chapter 130 Prelude to the Climax
DeWeese, who doesn't play around, immediately made the Magic run smoothly to a higher level.

Originally, the Nets didn't feel much pressure, but suddenly they felt that the Magic's offense seemed to have changed to a different team.

Davis slapped the ball down hard in the counterattack, and Sprewell followed up and dunked the ball directly into the basket.

This wonderful cooperation also caused a burst of cheers from the fans in the audience.

And O'Neill was finally able to catch the ball normally. He dunked two hard on Benjamin's head to vent his resentment that he couldn't catch the ball just now.

It is said that it is a blue-collar who is dedicated to being outstanding, but how many people can compete with O'Neal at the basket?
It's head-to-head!Just finished.

Benjamin was beaten into autism. . .

The Benjamins who faced O'Neal for the first time were all stupid.

Although he is already a veteran of the league, Benjamin was injured last season, and he didn't get a chance to play against O'Neal when he was in the Western Lakers.

Today's fight is the first time he has confronted O'Neal head-on.

"That's a lot of power." Benjamin was pushed away by O'Neill without any power to fight back, followed by another ground shot.

And the core of the Nets, Coleman faced Sprewell.

After Sprewell was put on the starting lineup this season, he immediately blossomed into his original brilliance. Unlike last year's occasional flashes of inspiration, this year Sprewell's performance began to stabilize.

He became the fourth leading scorer after O'Neal, Davis, and Anderson.

Why does this sentence sound weird?

Let's count the starters, O'Neal, Rodman, Sprewell, Anderson, DeWeese. . .

Cough cough cough, let's skip this topic.

What stands out most about Sprewell is his contribution on the defensive end.

He averaged 1.5 steals and 1 block per game, as well as 5 rebounds and 3 assists.

About the rebounding thing. . .

O'Neal and Rodman basically took 70% of the team's rebounds. Well, how should I put it, O'Neal averaged 13.2 rebounds per game this season, and Rodman averaged 17.5 per game. . .

The Magic have more than 50 rebounds in a game.

So, Coleman is tragic.

Sprewell, who was not satisfied on the offensive end, put most of his energy on the defensive end.

Coleman scored 5 out of [-] shots in the first quarter.

If Edwards hadn't made two three-pointers in the face of Anderson, the Nets might have been even worse in the first quarter.

You mean power forward?
I'm sorry, when the Magic faced other teams, they never considered what threat the position of power forward would bring to them.

Malone can't do it, if it really can't, let's see you in WWE.

If it's Barkley, it's okay, we still have O'Neal. . .

So, the real defensive black hole of the team has become Davis and Nick Anderson instead?

But Nick Anderson averaged 1.7 steals per game and DeWeese averaged 1.9 steals per game.

It is not without reason that the Magic have only lost three games so far.

As strong as the Bulls, they have lost four games.

Well, let's continue talking about the Nets.

At the end of the first quarter, the Nets trailed by ten points.

The Magic scored 37 points in a single quarter.

At the end of the half game, the Nets trailed by [-] points.

In the third quarter, D'Antoni simply sent the Florida trio, and even the eternal god next to the drinking fountain-Classmate Max played.

The ultra-young fivesome of Max, Horry, Nasr, Baker and Van Exel. . .

The average age is 22 years old.

Many team executives watched the Magic's third unit drooling in front of the TV screen.

In the third quarter, the Nets really lived up to expectations and recovered seven points.

But the absolute main players such as Davis, O'Neal and Rodman sat on the court without moving, talking and laughing.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Coleman was confidently preparing for a big reversal, and he found that Davis even put on training clothes.

"Pay for underestimating us!"

Then there is no more then.

Van Exel had a great time in this game, and Davis, who was hiding his clumsiness in order to deal with the Bulls, intentionally gave Van Exel a lot of playing time.

Nick Anderson also found the feeling he had when he was the boss of the Magic for a long time.

At the end of the fourth quarter, the Nets only recovered three points.

Coleman returned to New Jersey with his 27 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists in frustration.

On the second day of training, Davis was very serious.

He even deliberately called his teammates together.

"Guys, what are our goals for this year?"

"Championship!" The teammates shouted the word without hesitation.

Davis nodded in satisfaction.

"Tomorrow is the Christmas battle, who is our opponent?"

"bull."

"Do you understand what I mean??"

"....don't know."

Davis had a black line on his face, and wanted to kick Sprewell a jio.

"Tomorrow, we will challenge the overlord of the league. This is a very important battle to test whether we have participated in the championship. I hope everyone can perform well tomorrow."

"Perform well, can you take more points?" It was Sprewell again.

Davis gave him a wink, and Baker and Nasr, who understood his meaning in seconds, dragged Sprewell to the corner and beat him violently. . . .

"I made a mistake, Boss. I will perform well tomorrow."

After laughing and making troubles, Davis also successfully unified the minds of the players.

Tomorrow, the Bulls will usher in the most powerful challenge of the Magic.

And Jordan, who is far away in Chicago, is also looking forward to the arrival of Davis.

December 12th, Christmas.

In this most traditional grand festival in the West, the NBA's Christmas game kicked off.

A total of two games are scheduled for today's Christmas game, one is the Bulls' home game against the Magic.

The other is the Suns at home against the Houston Rockets.

Top inside matchups and top outside matchups, it is obvious that the league has also put a lot of effort into arranging the Christmas game.

The Davis family came to Chicago for a different Christmas.

Looking at the group of relatives and friends who came to cheer him on the sidelines, Davis unexpectedly discovered that Anna left the big family of the Magic coaching staff today and ran to his home team.

The location that Davis arranged for his family was not a box. At the insistence of the old Davis, his family sat behind the bench.

When warming up before the game, DeWest deliberately walked next to Jordan.

"Here I am, Michael."

"Perform well, little Michael, I hope you have made greater progress in this period of time."

"Don't worry, you will never be disappointed."

The pre-match warm-up is over and the players are on the field.

Accompanied by the classic BGM of Sirius, Jordan walked into the court during the introduction of the Bulls DJ.

"From North Carolina, at guard 6-6, Michael Jordan"

Davis was so excited that the day he had been waiting for after time travel finally arrived.
