I really just want to lie down and win

Chapter 128 Trading and the End of the 31 Schedule

Chapter 128 Trading and the End of the Third Schedule

The Magic won the Pistons and achieved four consecutive New Year's Eve victories, but they were not happy for long. Their winning streak was broken in the next game. In back-to-back away games against the Raptors, the Magic team felt cold and lost to The opponent changed his record to 17-12. This season, he played against the Raptors twice, but the Magic did not win a game, and the former Raptors' brother Grizzlies also completed a double kill against the Magic.

The Orlando Magic has become a well-known nerve knife in the league. They can win against the Spurs, Mavericks, and Pistons, and they can also lose to a team like the Raptors that is aiming for the No. [-] pick. After defeating the Magic in two consecutive games, The Raptors have given up from the bottom one position in the league, which makes Brian Colinjilo dumbfounded. They don't want to win this season, they just want to play badly, because the quality of this year's draft is very high, especially Barbados. Gnani, a striker from Italy known as Dirk Jr.And the opponent is not a waste like the Czech Stig Kishvili. His shooting is really elegant. Except that his hair is not yellow, he is very similar to Nowitzki in other places.

And these have nothing to do with the Magic. Although the loss to the Raptors ended the winning streak, the Magic are still in the Eastern Conference playoff sequence, but Otis Smith is looking for a reliable outside defensive player. What Tees Smith wanted most was Artest, but Larry Bird was not interested in Hill, but he was very interested in Rocky, so the deal with Indiana was impossible.

Instead, the bargaining chips offered by Isiah Thomas on the Knicks made Otis Smith very excited. They are willing to send Anfernee Hardaway, Trevor Ariza or the 2010 draft pick in exchange for Grant Hill.

This deal has advantages and disadvantages for the Magic. The advantage is that it can free up salary space. Hill has more than 1500 million US dollars this season and will have more than 1600 million next season. It has reached more than 1500 million U.S. dollars in one season. Even if it is amnesty, it will not take up much space next season.

But the downside is that Hill is currently the Magic's No. 17 scoring point. He is currently averaging [-] points per game, which is higher than Randolph and Howard's scoring average.

"Loki, Odis is going to trade Grant for Anfernee and Trevor Ariza, what do you think?"

Although he played for less than half a season, Rocky has proved his worth with his own performance, and he is now the cornerstone of the Magic team.

"I think it's ok, Grant is gone, I can score more points, and Trevor's defense is stronger than DeShawn's. If his off-ball is developed, he will be a very good 3D player."

Rocky played against Trevor Ariza in high school, and the opponent ranked much higher in RSCI than Rocky. He ranked in the top 03 in 20. This is 03. Those who can enter the top 20 are elites, not Rocky. The 04 Fish Pond Bureau where the base is located can be compared.

Although Hill has a good friendship with himself, his current defense is really a drag on the overall rhythm. As long as the opponent's second position is a guy with good scoring ability, he has to wipe his ass in the back like an old mother. Stocks, the involvement of defensive energy led to no chance to exert force in the fourth quarter. Rocky really had enough of this kind of life.

Although Anfernee Hardaway couldn't play when he came over, he didn't need him to play. What the Magic lacks now is not a scorer, but a defender.

David Falk understood, he went out and called Otis Smith, "Otis, I think you can talk to New Yorkers, Loki seems to be very optimistic about that Trevor Ariza, but I Think you'd better let Isiah Thomas bleed a little more."

Rocky is not only optimistic about the fans, but the owner of the Magic, Richard DeVos, is also surprisingly fond of the No. [-] pick. This is something O'Neal, Hardaway, and McGrady have never done before.

So there's nothing wrong with getting to know Rocky's reaction through David Falk, after all, no one can live without Rocky without the current Magic.

Rocky told Grant Hill without a big mouth that you were going to be traded to the Knicks to play mud with Larry Brown. In the historical space, the target of this deal was Francis. As a result, Francis went to the Blazers ahead of schedule because of himself. And Hill is going to the Knicks.

On January 1, the Magic continued their back-to-back journey and challenged the Nets away. The Nets’ record was the same as the Magic’s 6-17. It’s hard to imagine that this is a team that has reached the Eastern Conference Finals and the Finals in the past few years.

This is the second match between the two sides this season. In the previous match, the Magic lost at home, but this time the Magic did not want to be double-killed by the Nets.

.

Compared with the Magic, the Nets' lineup looks very good. Kidd, Richard Jefferson, Carter, Krstic and Jason Collins are much more star-studded than the Magic, and the Magic's Hill The starting lineup, because Carter and Jefferson's defense is not very good, and Kidd alone is the same as Rocky, he can't defend two people, whoever has a better offense in this game will win.

The fans at the Continental Arena are sparse, which makes the Nets' rebounds more determined to sell the team. After all, East Rutherford is a bit desolate, and it can be compared to Cleveland's environment in the entire league. Compete.But the Cavaliers have James. What do you have in the Nets? Carter is no longer at his peak. Although Kidd is still a first-line point guard in the league, his state has declined quite a lot compared to the ones he once led to the Finals. .

Both Kidd and Carter are at an S level, Kidd can rate an S-, and Carter is just an ordinary S player, maybe in a few years, he can't even maintain an S.As for the other three people, their ratings are very average, so just ignore them.

This game was much easier than the one against the Pistons. Although Kidd is known as one of the most defensive point guards, Rocky is not in vain against him. The height keeps shooting, and this night's talent is triggered very frequently. Kidd really hates that his parents didn't make his height look like a magician, otherwise Rocky would be arrogant in front of him in one round.

Carter's double-teaming effect was not as good as that of Hamilton, but he broke out on the offensive end and scored a game-high 33 points. However, apart from him in the entire Nets starting lineup, Kidd scored the highest score. He scored 12 points , the other three did not score in double figures at all, the Nets scored 87 points, these two scored 45 points, and the Magic also took down the Nets without bloodshed, pulling the record to 18-12. At the same time, the rankings of the Nets and Magic also dropped.

After playing the Nets, the Magic ushered in the Bobcats back-to-back at home. Rocky faced Felton and scored 30 points in the game. Keith Bogans on the bench scored the highest 10 points on the Bobcats side, but he still couldn't avoid the bad luck of losing. After losing this game, the Bobcats' record was 3-9 and ranked among the bottom three in the league, while the Magic The record is 23-10,.
