Chapter 157

The All-Star Game was over, and Davis followed up with his inhuman performance of taking all the honors of the All-Star Game, and quickly became the hottest star in the league.

That's right, a star, not a new star, and the word nova is no longer used to describe DeWeese.

His popularity is even close to the true god of the league, Michael Jordan, who also won the AMVP.

In terms of jersey sales, he is already second only to Jordan.

Well, it's less than half.

More people buy jerseys. In addition to buying the Bulls' No. 23, they will also buy the Magic's No. 1 jersey at the same time.

But after the All-Star Game, both Davis and O'Neal experienced some ups and downs, which is actually quite normal. Some members of the team participated in the All-Star Game, and there will be some ups and downs after the game.

After losing the game against the Jazz, the Magic's record has become 31 wins and 10 losses, which also brought them to a 2.5 game gap with the Bulls.

After the game, Davis comforted O'Neal who was in a very upset mood.

Although his performance in this game was not good, he only handed over 15 points and 9 assists in the face of Stockton, but O'Neal was even more upset.

He was educated by the big mammoth of the Jazz again.

Mark Eaton, who may retire at any time, seems to be O'Neal's natural nemesis. . .

Mark Eaton, who just returned from injury, started this game and only played 24 minutes, scoring 6 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks.

But all three of his blocks were given to O'Neal. . .

This reminded O'Neal of the first time against the Jazz. Mark Eaton also unceremoniously taught O'Neal, who had just entered the league, and blocked O'Neal three times in a row at the beginning.

Although O'Neal finally scored 22 points, grabbed 11 rebounds, and had two steals and four blocks, none of these four blocks were for Mark Eaton.

And the Magic lost in the end.

"Okay, Shaq, your performance today is pretty good. I didn't perform well today." Davis consciously blamed himself.

"And you're lucky, Shaq, that you didn't hit that mammoth's prime."

O'Neill shuddered and remembered that the Mark Eaton he was facing today was Mark Eaton who might retire at any time.

If you switch to his peak period in the 80s, when he averaged 5 blocks per game. . .

People are so strange, and O'Neill's mood improved a lot in an instant.

The next game, the Magic beat the Cleveland Cavaliers at home.

Facing the young Doherty, whose overall strength is much stronger than Mark Eaton, O'Neal slapped him hard.

He scored 35 points, 15 rebounds and 5 blocks, completely dominating the inside line, and Rodman muttered dissatisfiedly, saying that his rebounding numbers had dropped again.

"The average of 16.9 rebounds per game is indeed a decline, but... I always feel that there is something wrong there." DeWeese listened to Rodman's chanting, and took out the technical statistics of this game.

"You grabbed 17 rebounds today, which is still above the average." Davis asked Rodman, "You don't know that 17 is bigger than 16.9?"

O'Neal led the way out of the locker room refreshed, followed by Rodman who was muttering, and DeWeese who was talking to him next to him.

Three people were walking in the player tunnel, and the lights shone down, making the shadows of the three people very long.

The next game, the Magic crashed unexpectedly in Charlotte.

奥尼尔还是和莫宁打了个五五开，29分15篮板对27分14篮板，迪威斯14分14助攻，但是一个叫库里的人突然站了出来。

That's right, Stephen Curry. . .

Father.

Dell Curry came off the bench and made 14 of 8 shots, 2 of 1 three-pointers, and scored 19 points.

At the same time, the Magic's bench lineup feels all dropped, and none of them are in the top 10.

In the end, the Magic also unfortunately lost the game that should not have been lost at home.

On the sidelines, DeWeese discovered that future elementary school student, leader of the small ball era, NBA's first unanimous MVP, two-time regular season MVP winner, and three-time NBA champion - Stephen Curry.

Curry, who is only 6 years old this year, is not even considered a primary school student, with a cute expression on his face.

DeWeese walked up to Curry after the game, knelt down and touched Curry's head.Curry looked at him adoringly.

"Hey, Stephen, you are my idol." Davis said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Dad Curry, who was next to him, almost fell to the ground.

"It's great to have such a good dad, you know, my dad would never teach me how to play basketball."

A sycophant makes Dell Curry very comfortable.

But Dell Curry frowned and found that things were not that simple.

"Is your father the world's top richest man? How can he compare with me?"

"Michael, your three-point shot is so handsome. I want to be as accurate as you in the future." Curry looked at Davis, and Davis realized that Curry was actually wearing his No. [-] Magic jersey.

"No, no, Stephen, you shouldn't be like me." DeWeese said to Curry seriously.

Curry and his son looked at Davis suspiciously.

"You should be better than me. In my opinion, you can be the greatest three-point shooter in the world, or even the greatest player in the world."

Davis didn't know, he told the six-year-old Curry about the path he was going to take in the future, and what kind of seed he planted in Curry's heart.

After signing Curry, DeWeese greeted Dell Curry and returned to the locker room.

The schedule has officially passed halfway, and the Magic are now 32 wins and 11 losses, still ranking second in the Eastern Conference.

But their upcoming schedule does not seem to be friendly.

The next game, they played against the Knicks at home.

After playing the Knicks, they will go to Detroit to challenge the Pistons.

On the second day, the Magic, which played against the Knicks to the last minute, relied on Davis' lore in the last 10 seconds to win with difficulty.

O'Neal played against Ewing in this game. After the All-Star game, Ewing's state improved. He scored 34 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks in this game.

He scored 21 points and 19 rebounds, including 9 offensive rebounds, 2 steals and an astonishing 9 blocks, completely turning the inside into a no-fly zone.

It's a pity for Davis. As a data controller, he thinks it would be great if O'Neal gets one more rebound and one more block.

He scored a team-high 24 points and 9 assists in this game.

The next day, the Magic came to Detroit non-stop.

DeWeese was again doubled by Joe Dumars. . . .He has only left the field with six fouls twice so far this season, all of which were against the Pistons and against Joe Dumars.

O'Neal continued to play well, scoring 46 points, 21 rebounds and 4 blocks, but at the end of the fourth quarter, the two teams tied at 113.

Without DeWeese and O'Neal's physical exertion, the Magic finally lost the chain. They were beaten 7-11 by the Pistons in overtime, and unfortunately lost the game.
