Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 189 191 [Sad Team]

Just like what Jiang Hao said, after they left the Toronto Raptors' home stadium, the Canadian Airline Center, they rushed to the airport without stopping.

At midnight, they arrived at their new destination - Orlando.

Tonight, they will officially usher in the back-to-back opponent of this four-game streak-the Orlando Magic.

And if nothing else, the Lone Ranger can easily win this game. After all, the Orlando Magic today is no better than before.

The word "fish belly" is not an exaggeration in the Orlando Magic today.

Up and down the team, it doesn't look like there's even a true All-Star.

Neither Fournier nor Vucevic is an opponent of the bayonet.

In fact, the Orlando Magic may be one of the most tragic teams in the league.

Strictly speaking, the Oakland Magic is one of the new recruits of the NBA. They officially joined the NBA family in the early 90s.

The Magic, which had just joined the league, soon became a strong contender for the championship. Under the leadership of Shaq O'Neal, they once broke into the finals.

But in the face of the basketball god who is in full swing, how can the young shark be an opponent?
Therefore, in 1996, with the Sharks swimming eastward, the team officially entered the tragic years.

Shaq O'Neal, Penny Hardaway, Tracy McGrady, Dwight Howard.

In the past 20 years, the superstars who grew up in Orlando Magic have become household names, but Orlando seems to be cursed. They have the soil to cultivate superstars, but they don’t have the ability to retain superstars, and they don’t have the chance to get their hands on the O’Brien Cup. .

The first time he met Michael Jordan in his prime, Orlando lost.

During the second peak period, he encountered the invincible Black Mamba, and Orlando was directly shaved with a bald head.

To this day, the tragedy continues, but Orlando has not given up, and they are preparing for another rise.

Bamba, Fultz!

This is the most precious asset of the Orlando Magic at this stage.

But for tonight's game, they probably can only wait for the defeat to come.

.........

"Boss, no need at all, I don't need such special treatment, even this kind of behavior makes me feel sad, we are professional players, we are paid by the boss for 82 games"

Six pm.

On the bus to the Amway Center, home of the Magic, Jiang Hao had a dispute with head coach Rick Carlisle. Of course, it can also be understood as a kind of communication.

Although they won the game against the Toronto Raptors last night, everyone was exhausted, especially Jiang Hao.

Therefore, head coach Rick Carlisle means that Jiang Hao can play the Orlando Magic game tonight, and he can make up any reason at that time, anyway, everyone is doing it now.

There is nothing wrong with Rick Carlisle's thinking. On the one hand, the away game is back-to-back after fierce battles. Jiang Hao is the leader of the team. He does not want Jiang Hao to get injured. Even if Jiang Hao does not play, they still have a great chance to win.

After taking all this into consideration, Rick Carlisle decided to communicate with Jiang Hao.

But he didn't expect that Jiang Hao's reaction would be so strong, and he refused with just words, without any room for negotiation.

"Jiang, I'm just suggesting that if you think everything is ok, then you start out"

Rick Carlisle shook his head. He was sure that it was impossible for him to convince Jiang Hao, because although he and Jiang Hao had not been together for a long time, he already knew very well that Jiang Hao was a very stubborn guy.

So competitive guys are stubborn?This is their unified logo?

Rick Carlisle thought of Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant.

"Boss, to be honest, that's one of the reasons why I decided to leave the San Antonio Spurs in the first place. The San Antonio Spurs are a great team. I love it, but I don't fit so much in the rotation pattern there."

Frankly speaking, Jiang Hao is a bit brooding about this point.

Because it was the unique rotation mode of the Spurs that made him miss the strongest rookie.

Although he won the O'Brien Cup with the San Antonio Spurs last season, he also won the Finals Most Valuable Player.

But in Jiang Hao's view, if he was in any team in the league other than the Spurs and Cleveland Cavaliers last season, he would have a chance to compete and even win the Rookie of the Year trophy.

.........

Amway Center naturally did not welcome Jiang Hao, so of course he was greeted with boos all over the sky, although in Jiang Hao's impression, he didn't seem to have hurt the team much.

"Jiang, this is the treatment only for superstars, enjoy it."

Dirk Nowitzki laughed.

Dirk Nowitzki is in a good mood. Since the start of the new season, he basically hasn’t played much. It’s not that his ability can’t support him to play for a longer period of time, but that he has injuries and hasn’t played yet. Completely recovered, Rick Carlisle didn't use Nowitzki much to be on the safe side.

Of course, from this perspective, Dirk Nowitzki has to thank Jiang Hao.

If Jiang Hao hadn't led the team all the way, how could head coach Rick let him recover from his injuries?
On the court, when the first quarter had been played for more than 8 minutes, Jiang Hao finally realized the meaning of "nba has no underdogs".

29: 12!

Who would have thought that the powerful Dallas Mavericks would be beaten by the Orlando Magic as soon as they came up?

Including Jiang Hao, the starting five Tigers of the Dallas Mavericks are in a sluggish state, but on the Magic side, the players feel extremely hot.

Therefore, the 17-point difference was outlined in an understatement.

"Why do I have a bad feeling?"

Some Dallas Mavericks fans are sweating coldly in their vests at the moment.

Is the hottest team since the start of the new season going to sink in the gutter tonight?

Not impossible.

17 points difference, especially when the team's starting five tigers are in a sluggish state.

"Dude, Dallas is going to lose. Look at those upset games. Does it feel familiar, but it doesn't matter. I'd rather see the team lose to the Orlando Magic than the team. Losing to the Houston Rockets is a team like the Toronto Raptors.”

"So, I mean, the winning streak doesn't mean anything, it just makes the opponent understand you more directly, like the Golden State Warriors, 73 wins in the regular season, unstoppable? But the result?"

How could Jiang Hao, who had a gloomy face on the court, think that the fans didn't pay much attention to the result of this game?
