Chapter 388 The Men Who Ruled the 80s

The Magic, which played with this lineup, continued their strong performance.

Carter has scored 37 points, setting a new career scoring high, but the Magic are still steadily suppressing the Raptors.

When the game was over, Carter walked over to Davis with a bitter look on his face.

Davis scored 42 points, 8 rebounds, 14 assists and 4 steals in this game, the highest score in the game except Carter.

Carter scored a career-high 45 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.

And the most anticipated superstars have all scored mediocre statistics for them.

Bird played 12 minutes and scored 6 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.

Thomas played 15 minutes and scored 9 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists.

McHale played 8 minutes and scored 3 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks.

Johnson played 18 minutes and scored 8 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.

Several people completed their tasks almost perfectly. After the game, they walked back to the locker room from the player tunnel for half an hour before they broke free from the siege of crazy fans.

The fans on both sides of the player tunnel piled up several layers, and Davis was frightened watching, fearing that something might happen.

In the end, it was the stadium security forces who intervened to stop the crazy behavior of the fans.

After returning to the locker room, although the three veterans were exhausted, their faces were full of satisfaction.

This game allowed them to find their long-lost passion.

"Kevin, I suddenly have plans to come back. I don't know what you think?" Byrd smiled and pulled his good friend McHale, jokingly.

McHale nodded solemnly.

"I also have this plan, maybe I can play like a block king when I come back."

"Come on, Kevin, you have only averaged more than one block per game in your career, why should you be the king of blocks?" Johnson interjected disdainfully.

Thomas on the side finally couldn't help it and laughed.

The other three also laughed at the same time.

The Magic players next to them also looked at the veterans who were chatting and joking with smiles on their faces, while Davis looked at everything in front of him with satisfaction.

The atmosphere in the Magic's locker room has always been something DeWeese is most proud of.

He has never seen any NBA team that can have such a harmonious locker room atmosphere as the Magic.

As thorny as Rodman, as funny as O'Neal, as unruly as Sprewell, all of them have honestly spent a very pleasant career in the Magic.

In today's press conference, there was a rare absence of Davis' position.

Bird, Johnson, and Thomas appeared at the press conference together and murdered countless film rolls of reporters.

"Why Kevin didn't come, let me explain first. I said to Kevin, 'Kevin, there is no room for you at the press conference. I will answer the questions they asked you for you. Anyway, I know what you think.'" After sitting down, Bird directly grabbed the microphone in his hand and said,
The reporters below were taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"You performed so well today, do you plan to continue playing in the league?" The reporters couldn't wait to ask the first question.

"Of course, just now Kevin told me that he wants to come back and win the shot block title. I think I can still win the three-point shooting title in the three-point shooting contest. Of course, the premise is that Michael doesn't compete with me." Bird continued to speak, causing the reporters in the audience to continue to laugh.

"Hey, guys, I've been on the Magic roster." Johnson also took the microphone and said.

Only Thomas answered honestly.

"I have already taught Michael everything I know. It doesn't matter if I come back or not."

The result of the game is not what the reporters pay attention to. After all, the Magic has swept the entire league unrivaled this year.

These three people sitting on the stage really ruled the entire NBA in the 80s.

Except for the Philadelphia team led by Moses Malone to win a championship, all the championships in the entire 80s were won by the Lakers, Celtics and Pistons.

And all three of them are the core of their respective teams.

In the FMVP alone, three people won 6 times, and there were 80 times in the [-]s.

The game ended in such a harmonious and abnormal atmosphere.

However, the task of the three elders is not over yet.

The next day, Kobe was the first to return to the team. After a strict examination by the team doctor, he has fully recovered.

But they have back-to-back games against the New Jersey Nets tonight.

The Nets' lineup is a bit outrageous. They have only 12 wins and 29 losses so far, and they are heading straight for the No. [-] pick.

The Magic, which flew back to Orlando overnight, didn't have much rest time. D'Antoni didn't even dare to arrange training. The four veterans may have to play in the evening. Their physical strength can't withstand the game, training and back-to-back consumption.

But at Kobe's strong request, D'Antoni put Kobe on the roster.

In the evening, at the Amway Arena, the fans were eagerly waiting for Bird's appearance, but D'Antoni let them down.

The Magic lined up a lineup of Duncan, Johnson, Clay, Kobe, and Davis. They really didn't have a suitable candidate for the fourth position, so Johnson could barely make up for it.

The Nets' roster is Kendall Gill, Robert Pike, Corey Kidders, Jason Williams and Tony Masenberg.

Don't get me wrong, this Jason Williams is not the white chocolate later, but the No. 90 pick in 21. He is an inside player with strong rebounding ability.

The Magic's starting lineup is not something the Nets can compete with. They established an 18-point lead in the first quarter.

Duncan's inside dominance is increasing day by day, first reflected in his inside defense.

He feels like an offensively enhanced version of Dikembe Mutombo.

In the first quarter, he sent a crazy five blocks, guarding the inside of the Magic like an iron bucket.

But the Magic player with the best performance in the first quarter was not Duncan, but Kobe, who DeWeese deliberately cooperated with.

Kobe is simply the possession of the later generations of Dragon Slayer. In the first quarter, he made 12 of 8 shots and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored a full 21 points from inside and outside shots.

Kobe's highest score this season was only 28 points. In this game, he saw that he could break his career scoring high.

Kobe didn't make people wait too long. In the second quarter, he continued his crazy performance in the first quarter and scored 3 points in 8 minutes, officially setting a new career scoring high.

Davis, who was sitting off the court, glanced at Kobe's stats wonderingly, and found that his ability value had risen from 76 in the draft to 85.
This rising speed is really scary.

Duncan also broke through 90 to 91.
Davis sensed something was wrong. . . .
