Chapter 142

In the evening, the Magic easily defeated the Kings from afar at home.

O'Neal scored 32 points and 15 rebounds, and Davis scored 23 points and 9 assists.

Even though Richmond, the core of the Kings, scored a game-high 40 points, the powerful bench bandits of the Magic still pressed the Kings to the ground. . .

The Magic's current bench lineup is really tough and the main force of the lottery team is not in vain.

But in the next home game against the Atlanta Hawks, the Magic unexpectedly lost.

Why do you say it was an accident?

First of all, Rodman felt a little uncomfortable in his thigh before the game. To be on the safe side, he was not included in the active list for this game.

Then, the game hits. . .

迪威斯全场比赛15投11中。。。命中率非常吓人，奥尼尔14投8中，命中率也及格。尼克安德森6中4，也OK。

然后。。。。斯普雷维尔7中2，斯科特10中3，霍里5中1，梅森4中0，范艾克赛尔6中2.。。。

Another one, the Eagles grabbed a full 50 rebounds, 13 more than the Magic, and their starting small forward, Stacy Augmon, who is only 1.9 meters tall, only grabbed five rebounds, four of which were offensive rebounds. .

In the final shot, the Eagles got 87 shots, while the Magic only had a poor 67, which was 20 less!
In this case, the Magic finally lost only two points to 92-90.

If Anderson's mid-range shot hits in the end and the game is dragged into overtime, the final result is really hard to say.

The time came to 1994. The Magic handed over a record of 93 wins and 21 losses throughout the first half of the 5 season. The Eastern Conference was second only to the Bulls. It still ranked second in the Eastern Conference and third in the league due to the relationship between wins and losses.

The Magic's first game of 1994 was against the Knicks on January 1.

The game was also selected to be televised across the United States.

But before the game, the Magic had some minor accidents.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

D'Antoni looked at the situation on the training ground and felt something was wrong.

And there is one less person on the training ground today, the team's starting point, Nick Anderson.

Yesterday's Anderson training was not in good condition. D'Antoni thought he was out to play at night, but he didn't expect that he didn't come to training today.

The abnormal performance of the players on the training ground made D'Antoni cautious.

"Contact Nick immediately and ask him what's wrong." D'Antoni said to Donovan.

At this moment, his cell phone rang.

"Ah, Coach Mike, I'm going to take a leave of absence, I have a cold."

D'Antoni wanted to hang Nick Anderson up and beat him up.

"Nick, you're so weak, I'll take care of you when you come back and recuperate at home! I'll report to the team when you're fully recovered!"

D'Antoni shouted into the phone.

Then he hung up the phone immediately.

"Everyone, stop training immediately and sit two meters apart! Immediately!" He yelled towards the training ground.

Then he said to Javi: "Get the team doctor right away, I suspect the team has the flu."

Javi was startled, took out his phone and started contacting the team doctor.

"Michael, Robert, Denis, and Steve are all infected with the flu and will definitely not be able to play tomorrow."

D'Antoni is worried. . .Pull down the beard one by one.

With the addition of Anderson, the main force is reduced by half, especially the number one position. Only one Van Exel can be used. .

And Rodman needs a two-week truce. . .The magic team, which was still strong a day ago, was full of wounded soldiers in an instant.

In this way, the Magic bite the bullet and came to New York.

That night, O'Neal was alone, and under the unscrupulous double-teaming of Ewing and Oakley, he only got 5 rebounds in the whole game.

But his dominance also frightened the New Yorkers. O'Neal knocked down Oakley and Bonner, who replaced Oakley, in a row, and Ewing also had five fouls.

What made the Knicks painful and happy was that O'Neal got 21 free throw opportunities and only scored 6 free throws. . .

D'Antoni and Davis in front of the TV gritted their teeth angrily, and made a decision in unison.

Tomorrow, I must let O'Neill do a thousand free throw practice, so as to relieve my hatred!

And the outside core of the Knicks, John Starks, completely let himself go in this game.

魔术队外线缺少了迪威斯和安德森之后，没有人能有效的限制斯塔克斯，他全场比赛29投13中，其中三分球10中3，罚球12中10，拿下全场最高的39分5篮板4助攻4抢断。

Davis curled his lips in disdain in front of the TV. How dare he take 10 shots in a game at this three-point level?
Anna handed over the medicine.

"Da Lang, oh no, it's time to get out, Michael, it's time to drink medicine."

Davis obediently took the medicine and continued to watch the game.

Rodman's absence for these two games directly demonstrates his irreplaceable position in the Magic team.

In this game, the Magic grabbed a total of 32 rebounds, a season low.

When Rodman and O'Neal were on the court together, the Magic averaged 48 rebounds per game, ranking first in the league. .

The Knicks grabbed 20 offensive rebounds to the Magic's nine, just 9 shots short.

In the end, the Magic lost only five points when Starks scored 39 points and O'Neal only got five rebounds.

Not counting the 15 missed free throws by O'Neal. . .

The remnant Magic surprised the Knicks and returned to Orlando.

On the second day, O'Neal worked hard for a whole day of free throw practice. . .

According to statistics, he only scored 1000 free throws in 510 balls.

The reason why D'Antoni has the confidence to let O'Neal take free throws all day is because they gave up back-to-back at night.

Because their back-to-back opponents are the Bulls. . .

Baker, Nasser, Van Exel, Horry and other rookies got a lot of playing time. The Bulls knew that the Magic were suffering from constant injuries, so they didn't attack too hard, and only won a small 15 points. .

This made the bold words made by Davis last time come to naught.

But Davis comforted himself in this way: "I'm not there, this game doesn't count, and I give it to them."

O'Neal's free throws improved in this game, 14 of 8
Jordan clocked out with 30 points, and the substitutes on both sides played the whole quarter.The Magic lost the game 120-105 in the end.

After the game, the Magic ushered in the first wave of three-game losing streak this season, and their record also came to 21 wins and 7 losses. The Bulls opened up a gap of one and a half wins, leaving only half a win away from the chasing Knicks.

At this moment, DeWeese returned to the field first. After the team doctor's examination, DeWeese's flu was completely cured.

Before the Jan. [-] game against the Washington Bullets, the Magic were all back except for Rodman.
