Chapter 22

In the afternoon, there are shooting drills and strength training.

I don’t know if it’s because of Anna watching from the side, but Michael DeWeese’s shooting touch is particularly good today. In the shooting competition, whether it’s Scott, Nixon or Skiles, or even Steve Kerr who is the most accurate three-pointer, Michael DeWeese has all been beaten by Michael DeWeese.

When shooting open shots, Michael DeWeese shot 100 of 97 against the sky.

"Mike, you are really accurate today." Cole looked straight from the side.

Michael Dewes doesn't know why the three-pointer is so accurate today.

Seeing that Michael DeWeese performed so well today, even Rodman couldn't help coming over and shooting a few three-pointers.

Rodman is capable of three-pointers, and even had a three-pointer when he was in the Pistons.But after he focused on rebounding, including mid-range shots, three-pointers, and free throws, all offensive abilities became reckless.

After seeing Michael DeWeese's unlucky, unlucky emergency stop jumper and a three-pointer hollow into the net, Rodman also imitated Michael DeWeese's appearance, unlucky, emergency stop, and jumper.

Rodman's clumsy posture caused roars of laughter from the onlookers.

Feeling a little ashamed, Rodman picked up the ball again.

"Let you see a real master of the ball!" Rodman boasted that he never had to draft, which attracted boos from the audience.

"Come on, Dennis, if you're the master of ball handling, I'm Magic Johnson~"

"Dennis, if you can make this ball like Mike, I will provide you with breakfast for a month."

"Come on, Dennis, let's see how a real master dribbles."

Rodman is also crazy. He took two shots and began to speed up his dribble.

Cross step, back luck, jump up. . .Oh no, Rodman didn't jump up, he suddenly fell down when he was unlucky.

"Hahahaha..." The laughter next to him suddenly became quieter, because they found that Rodman could not stand up with his hands on his ankles. . .

"Dennis, are you okay?" Everyone quickly gathered around.

"Twisted ankle."

Yep, forcibly playing handsome and killing myself.

He hurriedly called the team doctor, and the magic team's medical construction has begun to show results, with a complete examination and treatment system.The team doctor carried Rodman to a CT scan.

"Hope the bones are okay."

"It's probably going to be a few weeks off."

"The dribble master twisted his foot."

Soon, the preliminary examination results came out, the bone was fine, it was just an ordinary sprain, but I needed to rest for two weeks.

Rodman has been quiet this season, but he is still the team's and even the league's rebounding leader. He started all the first 9 games and averaged 7 points, 16.7 rebounds, 1.3 steals, and 0.9 blocks per game. He is the team's defensive leader + inside gate.That's right, you read that right, the core of the inside defense is not O'Neal, but Rodman.He can defend from the 2nd position to the 5th position, giving his teammates more space to attack.

Tomorrow will be the first game of back-to-back games. Fortunately, this wave of back-to-back Magic is two home games. Now Jeff Turner can only fill in the position. The Magic's defense will inevitably drop a lot.

Everyone lost their minds about the game, hurriedly finished the training course, and went home.

Michael DeWeese still stayed in the training hall for extra training.

Anna watched Michael DeWeese's training from the side, picking up balls for him, and the two cooperated quite tacitly.

When the two of them went back at night, each had nothing to say.

The next morning, it was just a general recovery training, because there was a game in the evening, and Rodman's lessons learned, everyone just did some strength and shooting training.

The team's new tactical coach, Anna, who just took office, was flipping through the Magic team's team information and tactical manual, and raised his head from time to time to look at the players training on the training ground. Of course, most of the time his eyes fell on Michael Davis.

Michael DeWeese, a fool, didn't notice the gaze from the sidelines. He didn't have to participate in the competition, so he still trained according to his daily intensity.

An ordinary day passed quickly, and it was time for the evening game. The Orlando Center was still full of seats, and the players waved various slogans. The atmosphere was extremely enthusiastic.

The opponent of the Magic tonight is the Pacers led by Reggie Miller. The big star in the team is Detlef Schramff. This power forward from Leverkusen in Germany has played the best performance of his career this year. Up to now, he can get 20+10 data per game, but he did not start tonight. It seems that it is the arrangement of head coach Bob Hill. I hope he can lead the bench to play better.

Magic starting lineup: center: Shaquille O'Neal, power forward: Jeff Turner, small forward: Dennis Scott, shooting guard: Nick - Anderson, point guard: Scott Skiles.

Pacers starting lineup: center: Rick Schmitz, power forward: Elliott Dell Davis, small forward: George McLeod, shooting guard: Reggie Miller, point guard: Poole Richardson.

The starting lineup of the Pacers has strong offensive power, and the players are very tall. Center Rick Schmitz is 224 cm tall, power forward Dell Davis is also 211 cm, plus Reggie Miller is 201 cm, and McLeod is 198 cm.But interestingly, center Rick Schmitz averaged only 5 rebounds per game.Dale Davis was the No. 91 pick in 13. In the first season last year, he averaged 6 points and 6 rebounds per game. This year's data has increased, but only about 8.

The team's rebounding leader is Schramf sitting on the bench. . .

To be honest, the combination of the 4 and 5 positions in the team is not as good as Rodman grabs as many rebounds by himself.

But today, the Magic played an atypical game, fully blooming inside and outside, Skiles continued his high-profile performance, and even Jeff Turner, who came on as a substitute for Rodman, shot as well. After the first quarter, the Magic led the Pacers 36-20 by 16 points.

In the second quarter, the two sides replaced the substitute lineup. Although the score was bitten, the Pacers still could not narrow the gap with the Magic.

At halftime, the Magic led the Pacers by 66 points 47 to 19.

In the third quarter, the Magic scored another point more than the Pacers. . .

Only halfway through the fourth quarter, the Pacers saw that the point difference was too late to catch up, replaced the main lineup, replaced the substitute lineup, and announced that the game had entered garbage time.

The final score was 130 to 116, and the Magic defeated the invading Pacers by 14 points.

The MVP of the whole game was still given to Skiles. He scored 32 points, 2 rebounds and 8 assists in this game, revitalizing the whole team by himself.

Jeff Turner scored 15 points on 10 of 23 shots. Although the defensive end is not as good as Rodman's, the offensive firepower is much stronger than Rodman's.

What is even more surprising is that in this game of the Magic, all five starters scored 20.
Skiles 32 points, Jeff Turner 23 points, Scott 21 points, O'Neal 21 points, Nick Anderson 20 points.

The starting five players scored 130 of the 107 points.

On the Pacers side, Miller made 20 of 11 shots and 9 of 6 free throws, scoring a team-high 29 points.However, the heroes couldn't hold back the wolves. Except for Miller, the remaining scorer was Schramf's 18 points. Although the Pacers scored 11 points and 5 scored in double figures, they still swallowed a loss in the away game under the explosive performance of the Magic's first start.

After watching this game, Davis has to go back, because tomorrow, there will be the school team's first game of the season.
