Chapter 179 The Strange Orlando
"Dako, I'm still watching." Wang Shipeng walked to Milicic who was sitting on the sidelines and found it interesting to see that Milicic was still watching the ESPN rankings.

Milicic raised his head and scratched his head in embarrassment: "Wang, I really didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to enter the ESPN rankings."

Milicic was very excited. In fact, Wang Shipeng didn't understand what ESPN's recognition meant to the NBA and basketball.Let's put it this way, it's like a lot of players care about their scores in 2K more than ten years later. In this era, ESPN and TNT, especially ESPN's player rankings, are very authoritative.

It's just that Wang Shipeng from later generations witnessed how ESPN lost its fairness and authority step by step.So I don't really care about that.

But seeing Milicic's happy appearance, Wang Shipeng was also very happy for his little brother.

But seeing another name on the leaderboard, Wang Shipeng's face changed a little.

Eddie Curry, this is also a very authentic little brother.

I still remember that after Curry was traded before, he called himself to say goodbye.To be honest, although Wang Shipeng is a little bit reluctant about Curry's deal, he is happy to see it come to fruition.

After all, Curry has hidden dangers of heart hypertrophy, and he is destined not to become a real super center.Although Curry performed very well last season, Wang Shipeng also absolutely believes that Milicic has a better future than him if he is trained well.

Unexpectedly, the butterfly effect caused by his own arrival was too great.

Arenas played All-Star-level data ahead of schedule, causing the Warriors to give a contract extension ahead of schedule, without giving the Wizards a chance to poach corners.

The Wizards did not get Arenas, and there was no revival core.As a result, he let it go and got the number one lottery.So Dwight Howard was chosen.

Howard did not go to the Magic, resulting in no one inside the Magic, and Eddie was trained by Orlando.

In addition, I urged him to lose weight last season, and the results were good.Now Eddie is playing 25 to 10 minutes of playing time is very good.

With Eddie Curry, Ben Gordon, and Francis, who gained the status of boss because he didn't need to train the rookie champion, Orlando seems to have completed the reconstruction all at once.

Thinking of some Orlando newspapers he had read during this period, Wang Shipeng suddenly felt that the Orlando people were really weird.

No wonder Shaq O'Neal, Anfernee Hardaway, Tracy McGrady, Dwight Howard and a large number of super giants failed to stay.

Anyway, McGrady has left countless records in Orlando for more than four seasons.He was attacked by the "Orlando Sentinel" just after he left.

I can't blame Curry for saying on the phone that he was both happy and chilled in Orlando.

People in Orlando are like a scumbag, no matter how many sweet words they say to their incumbent, once the current incumbent becomes the ex, they will immediately turn their faces and say those sweet words to the next person.

Regardless of the fact that the predecessor who made the vows of the sea and rocks has just broken up.

In 1992, the Magic, which had just entered the league for three years, won the No. [-] pick.The super center Shaquille O'Neal from LSU was selected as he wished.

The Sharks who just entered the league have become monsters that can overwhelm the interior.He won the best player in the first week of his rookie season, smashed rebounds three times throughout the season, and defeated Mourning with an absolute advantage to win the best rookie.

Shaq, whose starting point has almost reached the ceiling of most people, has not stopped moving forward in the next few years.

Those days coincided with the time when God had completed his first three-peat championship and went to play baseball to experience the feeling of being a small person because he was extremely bored.Together with Penny, Shaq led the team to the Finals in just three years.

And Shaq set a record, becoming the only team that eliminated God in the playoffs in the 90s, even if it was God who had just come back.

Since then, there has been such a saying that if you have Joe, you will choose Joe, and if you have no Joe, you will choose Shark.

However, it is such a No.1 after Jordan, the youngest member of the top [-].How did the Orlando uniform team treat it.

At the end of the 1995-96 season, the Sharks faced a contract extension.The Orlando uniform team actually published a questionnaire in the newspaper.Sharks are worth the maximum salary.

You know, that just ended his rookie contract, only the 24-year-old Sharks, and eight years later, in 2004, Riley, who is known for his careful budgeting, was still willing to give the Sharks a maximum salary of [-] million yuan.

The most bizarre thing is that Orlando fans actually voted not to support the Sharks with a maximum salary, and the uniform team also used this reason to reject the Sharks' maximum salary request.The reason is, they don't want Penny to be unhappy.

The sensitive shark turned sadly and went to Los Angeles.Then created a great dynasty.

Then they should treat Penny better, no, in the 1997-98 season, Hardaway, who they placed high hopes on and even did not hesitate to force the Sharks away, performed well.

Just when Orlando thought he had earned it, Pence got hurt.

It wasn't a big deal at first, playing basketball is still the NBA with the strongest confrontation in professional basketball, so injuries are inevitable.As long as he recuperates well, Penny will still be that Hardaway.

However, Orlando's show operation pattern Tucson is broken.

They looked at the team's consecutive defeats after Hardaway's truce.Actually accused Hardaway of fraudulent injury, the uniform team then forced Hardaway to come back early.

The guy who just got a big contract is also young, and he actually made a comeback.Then he was injured again and completely squandered his talent.

Hardaway, who returned to the court again later, is no longer the penny fans are familiar with.The Magic uniform team then abandoned him.

Then came the well-known event of forming the Big Three in 2000.Speaking of which, Angie and Riley learned the creativity of the Big Three from Magic.

If the formation of the Magic Big Three was successful. Duncan, 24, Hill, 28, and McGrady, 21.My God, it is estimated that the Big Three in Miami will not be so conspicuous in the next 10 years. As for the Big Three in Boston, it can only be regarded as a routine operation.After all, they are three old men in their 30s.

Things were almost done, and Duncan went to Orlando to find a house.Unexpectedly, the magic trick came again.

Duncan just made a small request, and wanted his girlfriend and other family members to be able to take the team's chartered plane when they went to the away game with the team.What a simple matter, promised to be the number one power forward in history is Orlando.

But Rivers, the head coach of the Magic at the time, didn't agree. He probably thought that Duncan had already signed the contract.He actually refused, and then Duncan turned his head back to San Antonio, and the Spurs won four championships in the new century.

Although Duncan didn't come, Hill and McGrady came as promised.If both are healthy, Orlando can still do something.But Hardaway's fate once again turned to Hill, who spent almost all of his time in Orlando recuperating from injuries.

In desperation, McGrady had to give up his dream of being Pippen and honestly became Jordan.Carrying Orlando forward with his own strength.It even almost overturned the second-generation bad boy army of the Pistons, which had been reorganized and nearly completed.

In other words, if the league changes the first round of the playoffs from five games to seven games and changes to one season later, McGrady will break the curse of the first round.

McGrady was lucky to stay healthy during Orlando, but he also planted potential injuries.

Hardaway and Tracy McGrady made the Magic's No. [-] jersey a symbol.However, the Magic did not choose to retire the No. [-] jersey for the two super guards, and even gave the No. [-] jersey to unknown players such as Alston.It's really incomprehensible.

You know, in San Antonio, even Bowen got the honor of retiring his jersey.

After McGrady left, in the original history, the Magic got Howard.

As far as the matter is concerned, although the Sparks have various shortcomings, the Sparks at their peak can still be regarded as the league's number one center.If it weren't for the big change in the style of the league after 10 years, the sparks of high school players may have achieved even higher achievements.

However, it was such a super center who led the team to the Finals again after Shaq, and the Magic failed to follow him all the way.

Thinking of this, Wang Shipeng was a little worried, just such a heartless scumbag.Well, team scum, Curry probably won't be able to stay for too long.
