On December 20, the Magic, who had just lost to the Heat, came to south-central Texas to challenge the San Antonio Spurs, who had just finished playing a few days ago.
The AT&T Center "Funeral Hall", where the Spurs held memorial services for many teams this season, added the name of the Orlando Magic today.
96-85, the Magic had a big physical problem after three consecutive days of fighting, and yesterday's unexpected loss to the Heat caused the player's mental imbalance to not calm down. In this game, the Magic players played very impatiently, although Nash tried his best to control it.
Edison also arranged for Hill to play early, but the Magic still played haphazardly.
The whole game fell completely into the rhythm of the Spurs, with the largest lead reaching 18 points. Halfway through the fourth quarter, Popovich came on the bench as a pure substitute, while Edison was still on the main team to chase points in order to practice the team.
Although the Magic recovered nearly 10 points in the end, the Spurs still won the game without any blood. While they ushered in a 6-game winning streak, they gave the Magic their first consecutive defeat since the start of the season.
Duncan, who played 31 minutes, scored a double-double with 23 points and 15 rebounds, and undoubtedly won the MVP of the game.
The best performer on the Magic side was Hill, with 23 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. Nash, on the other hand, had 22 points and 8 assists, ending his 22 consecutive games with double figures in assists. In fact, through Nash’s score-to-assist ratio, everyone
You can know how poorly the other Magic players performed in this game.
The most dishonest people in the world are not politicians or bitches, but some sports journalists and commentators.
Before the two consecutive defeats, those people all praised magic as a flower, an extremely beautiful, perfect and infinite flower that was two circles bigger than the one Yang Erche Namu wore on her head. Everything you can imagine
Labels of praise and glory have been attached to the Magic.
Nash should be the mvp of the regular season. The best rookie team selected for the new season can be directly renamed the Orlando Rookie Team, and the best rookie team can be determined by their internal draw. Howard can be the best defensive player, plus the rebounding and blocks leader. Hill sees it
Let’s see if he can compete for the scoring title. Nash will definitely lead in assists, Iguodala will lead in steals, and Josh can compete for the dunk title in the All-Star Game.
The best coach must be Paul Edison of the Magic, and the best manager should also be Pat Lao, who fully supports Edison. Some people even suggested that a separate best injury award should be set up for the former coach and manager of the Magic to commend them for Edison's rise.
played a huge role in promoting the process.
Then everyone just waited for the Magic to win 16 consecutive games in the playoffs and win the championship.
What the media from all walks of life said was true, and Thibodeau was stunned for a moment.
But with the emergence of two consecutive losses, the media suddenly turned their guns and began to criticize the Magic. Everyone said that they had already seen that the Magic was not good. The previous record was good because their opponents did not pay attention to them. Now their opponents are beginning to know the Magic.
After losing weight and being a little more vigilant, the magic stopped working. 3 losses in 4 games and 2 consecutive defeats appeared.
Look at Josh's performance in these games, this guy can do nothing but dunk, and dunking requires the cooperation of his opponent. As long as there is a 210cm and 250 pounds big man on the opposite side, this guy can't do anything.
Dwight Howard, God knows how this guy became the No. 1 pick. Maybe his agent sent money to the Magic. He is the No. 1 rookie and the No. 1 rough guy in the league. A guy who can do nothing but jump the ball. He jumped recently.
The ball doesn't work either.
Nash, passing is obviously overrated. Now that the opponent has strengthened its defense, this guy is no longer good. Moreover, this guy flies away at the first touch and is the most intolerant of all the starters in the league.
Paul Edison, look at how stupid his command is. It is already garbage time and he still wants the main players to play. He leads by 10 points and is overturned by his opponent. You should go play college basketball. And in exchange for Hardaway, who can't play.
People, it seems that college basketball may not be suitable for you. Maybe you should focus more on your development in Hollywood...
From now on, the Magic have been brought back to their original shape. They should not have been a team with a winning rate of more than half. According to the law of conservation of character, they will soon have n consecutive losses.
What the media from all walks of life said was true, and Thibodeau was stunned for a moment.
After the hellish schedule, the Magic ushered in a big holiday. The next game will not be until the 27th, when they will challenge the Knicks away from home.
Although the Magic are on holiday, the league's games are still in full swing. Except for the Christmas game, basically every day starting from the 22nd, the league has arranged strong dialogues or some talk games. All in all, they are very exciting.
On the 21st, there was the Wizards versus the Kings, a wonderful collision between two teams known for their gorgeous offense. Although both sides are offensive teams, the Wizards rely on the individual performance of stars, which is the ultimate in individual singles in the league.
The Kings rely on team conduct and are the pinnacle of teamwork. The fight between the two sides is naturally like sparks hitting the earth, which is exciting. In the end, the Wizards relied on the amazing performance of "General" Arenas with 42 points to win 109-102.
The king.
There will be a total of 11 games in the league on the 22nd, with 60% of the teams taking the stage. Fans can choose to watch according to their own preferences. There are also strong dialogues between the Nuggets and SuperSonics, as well as the Jazz vs. Raptors.
This kind of belly fight.
There are not many games on the 23rd, only 3 games, but there is the top Western Conference showdown between the Timberwolves and the Spurs, and there is also the East-West hegemony between the Heat and the Kings.
In the game between the Spurs and the Timberwolves, Duncan and Garnett faced off head-on. Both scored 20+10, which was a moment of great success. In regular time, the two teams tied 98-98.
During the game, although Garnett tried his best, the overall strength of the team was still slightly inferior. In the end, the seasoned Spurs had the last laugh, winning this two-match game 109-107.
The Heat and the Kings don't have a big connection, but O'Neal and the Kings have a strong connection. I think back then, O'Neal's words "Sacramento Queens" will always be a pain in the hearts of fans in this city, and as long as the team doesn't play well, others will mock them like this.
, this label was stuck firmly. Now that the enemy is coming, the Kings naturally want to entertain them well. In the end, the waiting Kings defeated the Heat 110-99. Amid the boos of the fans in the audience, the Sharks sadly left the game.
There will be no games in the league on the 24th, and all teams will have a day off, but there will be a Christmas game on the 25th.
Of course, the Christmas game has nothing to do with the Magic. Magic players can have a warm Christmas with their families.
Christmas in the West is just like our Spring Festival, even if you are not a Christian.
I won’t say much about the status of this holiday in the minds of Westerners. Edison clearly felt that the players were a little distracted in training these days.
As the saying goes, the way of civil and military affairs is relaxed. Edison knows that at this time, the players' minds have already wandered. Even if you force them to stay in the training hall, they may not be able to achieve the original effect.
But the NBA season is very long. There are 82 regular season games, which take 6 months to play. Moreover, it is not as regular as football. For most teams, it is just one game per week. The NBA's 82-game schedule is particularly ridiculous.
It may let you play 3 or 4 games in a row, or it may suddenly give you a bye for 5 or 6 days, which is very irregular.
Therefore, the issue of how to maintain the physical fitness of NBA players is definitely not simpler than that of European football. Edison wanted to give players a holiday, but he was worried about adverse reactions, so he asked Nielsen to discuss it.
"Aaron, I want to give the players a day off on the 24th and 25th. Do you think it's okay?" Edison couldn't hold back and told his problem straight to the point.
After listening to Edison's question, Nelson lowered his head and thought for a moment, "I think it's okay. As long as we control the training volume these two days and make adjustments on the 26th, it's not impossible to let the players take a break in the middle. And if the players are not feeling well,
It's fun, no matter how reasonable the training is, it won't have an effect. Sometimes letting the players relax properly can have a positive effect. Besides, our team's schedule after Christmas is not tight, and the opponent's strength is not strong. It's true.
If a problem occurs, it can be adjusted dynamically.”….
Now that the professionals have spoken, Edison no longer has so many worries. He asked Nelson to start arranging the training plan for the next few days, and then announced the news to the players.
Of course, Edison did not directly declare a holiday on the 24th and 25th. Everyone has experience that generally the day before a long holiday, people are not in the mood to work or study. On that day, people will be particularly impetuous, and they will easily indulge in anything they do, and become tired.
Inefficient, irregular, etc.
Edison was worried that his players would also have this problem, so he only said he would take a day off on the 25th. So on the 23rd, everyone was very active and worked very hard in training. Then when the training was over on the 23rd, Edison suddenly announced that it would start tomorrow.
Letting go can be regarded as an unexpected surprise for the players.
After dealing with the team's problems, Edison began to think about his own personal problems. Christmas, the legendary XX night.
"Hi, Rachel, how are you planning to spend Christmas?" Edison made a phone call and flew to Los Angeles, the entertainment capital.
"I will be participating in a series of catwalk events in Los Angeles on Christmas Day." Rachel once again let out a voice as sweet as a silver bell, but her tone was very depressed, and Edison could tell that she was very unhappy.
"In that case, I'll go to Los Angeles to find you." Edison was very considerate, and he really wanted to meet Rachel, well, "meet you."
Rachel didn't think much about it, and was very happy to hear that Edison wanted to come and accompany her, "Well, don't you like basketball? I asked my agent to get me two basketball tickets, and I will accompany you when you come."
Of course, Edison was not an inhumane person of the opposite sex. He first went back to his parents' home in Orlando to have dinner with his family, and then explained to his parents that he had plans for Christmas and could not go home.
Edison's parents were not very happy at first. This was just like us saying that we couldn't go home during the Spring Festival. No one was happy. But then they heard that Edison was going to accompany his girlfriend, and their attitude immediately changed.
Especially Edison's mother, she said on the spot, "This matter is important. You are not young anymore. You must hurry up. If you can't go home, you won't be able to go back. It's no big deal."
This moment gave Edison a hallucination, "Could it be that my mother also traveled from China? Why is this rhetoric so familiar?"
In fact, parents from all over the world are very concerned about their children's marriage. After all, the first purpose of a person's birth is to reproduce offspring, but they don't interfere as much or as directly as we do.
(ps: I once read a sentence that really blinded my titanium alloy dog eyes. Now I would like to share it with you, "Men and women are only together for the purpose of reproducing offspring, and true love can only exist between people of the same sex.")

Not to mention that all superstars are overestimated. How dare ordinary people not rely on superstars at the most critical moment? Jordan's pass to Cole is a classic because it is rare.
In addition, I decided to challenge the limit of tolerance tomorrow to see how passionate I am, and whether they can accept it. I won’t actually ban my account.
