Chapter 385 The most luxurious starting list in history
"Come on, Larry, let's do another set of shooting drills. I think I can use you as a spot-up shooter. In the entire NBA, only the Orlando Magic can do it." DeWeese turned into a ball boy and conscientiously passed the ball to Bird.

After catching the ball, Bird opened his hand and shot, which is the ceiling for white players. Bird's shot was extremely smooth, and the ball obediently entered the net.

On the other side, McHale was practicing strength and Thomas was doing recovery training.

The training effect was unexpectedly good. It took only one day for the three veterans to be considered by Jia Wei to participate in the competition for a short time.

This is because most of the time during normal training, several people have the experience of going off the court in person. In order to maintain their image of a master, they have never interrupted their physical training, and the Magic did not let them play for [-] minutes as the main force.

The next day, the Magic made two announcements.

"Garnett, Kobe, Ray Allen, Iverson and several other players will not be able to participate in the next game due to the flu, and the specific recovery time is to be determined."

People were laughing at the Magic team's unfavorable years, but the next piece of news made them dumbfounded.

"The Magic signed Kevin McHale, Larry Bird, and Isiah Thomas to ten-day short contracts. They will represent the team in the next game."

This news once again detonated the entire American basketball world.

Although we all know that these three people are members of the current Magic team coaching staff, fans never dreamed that these great gods, including Johnson, would still have a day to play in the game. The most outrageous thing is that they are still on the same team.

So, in the next game, the Magic's away game against the Toronto Raptors instantly became the biggest favorite in the league.

The game was also urgently adjusted to be broadcast live across the United States.

The Raptors were not a very hot market at first, but the Magic team directly sold their most tickets this season, and even the price of the tickets for the front row has been fired to tens of thousands of dollars.

What's this?feelings. . .

After all, these few people represent the entire 80s in the NBA.

Carter described it this way when he called Davis before the game.

"Michael, I've never seen so many people in Toronto."

There were suddenly more people on the streets of Toronto, especially near the arena. The hotels near the arena had no more seats. The fans hanging around did not wear Magic jerseys or Raptors jerseys, but Lakers jerseys, Pistons jerseys and Celtics jerseys from the 80s.

In this way, under the eyes of everyone, the Raptors' home game against the league's overlord Magic began.

What people are most concerned about is undoubtedly the Magic's starting lineup today.

Sure enough, the Magic, which is good at capturing the psychology of fans, did not disappoint everyone.

There was no pressure to play the Raptors, so they simply sent McHale, Bird, Johnson, Davis and Thomas to the starting list.

When the DJ announced the starting list of the Magic team, the fans on the scene let out bursts of screams, especially the black and white double evil, which attracted the standing and cheering of all the fans in the audience.

If you look carefully, you will find that many fans wearing Lakers and Celtics jerseys from the 80s are not young anymore.

Carter looked at the magnificent Magic players, his eyes were full of envy, and at the same time, he secretly vowed that one day he would be like this.

At the same time, the Raptors' starting roster also came out.

Damon Stoudemire, Doug Christie, Vince Carter, Carlos Rodgers and Puopeye-Jones.

As a rookie who has only joined the league for the second year, the Raptors are still in the state of groping the rules of the league. They only won 20 games in their first season, and they have only won 15 games so far this season.

However, Carter, as one of the core of the current Raptors team, has performed quite well in his first year in the league.

他赛季至今打满了41场比赛，场均可以拿到19.6分5.5篮板4.3助攻，投篮命中率43.2%，三分球命中率38.4%。

But his most eye-catching is undoubtedly the gorgeous dunk to the explosion.

Carter's physical fitness was immediately associated with Jordan and Davis. The dunk performance he gave to the fans has become the favorite show of the Raptors fans.

As a Canadian team, the Raptors have seen an obvious upward trend in the ball market this year, and a large part of this is due to Carter.

The game started under the eyes of the crowd.

Johnson, who played as a center, did not participate in the jump ball. The task of the jump ball was handed over to the youngest Michael DeWeese.

Dewes easily grabs the ball over Carlos Rodgers.

Bird controlled the ball and subconsciously wanted to hand the ball to Johnson, but he saw that Johnson had run to the front court without looking back, next to Isiah Thomas who was looking at him eagerly.

Bird smiled, and then remembered that although the Magic played a full three point guards in this game, it was Isiah Thomas who really took on the task of organizing.

He handed the ball to Thomas, who pushed forward steadily.

"Little Flying Squirrel" Damon Stoudemire's newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and he rushes up to force the "old and frail" Thomas.

How could Thomas give him this kind of opportunity? He dribbled the ball with his most familiar fingertips, easily swayed Stoudemire's steal, and then passed the ball directly to the corner of the half.

Bird had already run into position, and after he caught the ball, he opened his hands and shot just like Davis did when he trained with him a few days ago.

The ball obediently fell into the basket.

After Bird scored the goal, he waved his hands in response to the fans cheering him on the sidelines.

The Raptors are responsible for defending Bird's Christie has not yet found his position.

The old guys of the Magic team took the lead and scored the first point of the game.

However, after all, I am old. Carter's first attack forced Bird head-on, and Bird could only watch Carter enter the inside lane.

How could the old arms and legs of Johnson and McHale, the pillars of the inside line, be able to block Carter? The two didn't even do a symbolic defense. They directly watched Carter jump high, and dunked the ball into the basket with an extremely stretched windmill dunk.

The Raptors fans who had taken up a lot of space on the sidelines also cheered.

This is their prince, the hope of the Raptors' rise!

However, the old guys of the Magic are not just here to be Carter's background board in a very limited playing time.
