Because the game against the Pacers was the last one that night and it was almost midnight after the game, the Magic players stayed in the hotel for one night and then returned to Orlando the next day.
After returning to Orlando, the team did not rest and began normal training that afternoon to prepare for the fierce battle in the last two months.
The Magic are actively training and preparing for the game, and the league is once again experiencing a wave of trades because today is the trade deadline.
The NBA's trade deadline is Thursday of the 16th week. After this day, teams can no longer conduct personnel transactions. They will not start until the start of the summer. Therefore, every trade deadline cannot be calm, and there may even be a lack of completeness.
Star-level transactions. Historically, Davis going to the Warriors and Walker returning to the Celtics both happened on this day, but due to the butterfly effect, these two transactions have now happened in advance.
However, there were still 8 transactions that took place that day. One of the more eye-catching ones was that the Hornets sent Jamal Mashburn and Rodrij Rogers to acquire "Big Dog" Robinson from the 76ers. After Big Dog returned from injury, his condition
It was not good, and there were some conflicts with Webber. The 76ers, who were competing for playoff tickets, were most afraid of internal friction, so without thinking much, they replaced him and recruited Mashburn. But so did Mashburn.
He just returned from injury and his condition is not very good.
What everyone is more familiar with is that the Rockets sent Marcus Taylor to the Knicks to acquire Win Baker, Mookie Norris and a 2006 second-round draft pick.
The Knicks have Uncle Huo, so they don't need to find a power forward anymore, but the sad thing is that Uncle Huo got a true pass from Alan Houston in the previous training, injured the anti-joint knee, torn the cruciate ligament, and was reimbursed for the whole year.
.And the Knicks, who were at the critical moment of hitting the playoffs, could only recruit people from all over the place, and then had no choice but to accept Taylor's bad contract.
The Magic welcome the Heat after two days of preparation in Orlando.
The Sharks still bravely scored 28 points and 12 rebounds, and Wade also scored 23 points. But helplessly, the entire Magic team was possessed by Chun Ge, no matter how hard they shot, 2+1 appeared 11 times in one game, which made
The Heat have no place to reason.
In the end, they defeated the Heat by a huge score of 125-116.
But then, the Magic visited Miami again and played another game with the Heat.
This kind of back-to-back game between two teams is particularly boring. You just played against these people last night, and you still play against them after you sleep. It's like splitting a game into two days. It's very boring.
dull.
Fortunately for the Heat, their players are relatively experienced and have experienced this kind of thing before, so they can adjust psychologically quickly. But the Magic are not that good, although Edison keeps reminding the players to focus and be serious, and the hair dryer is always on.
There was yelling and yelling from the sidelines, but the Magic's rookie just couldn't get interested.
Although you can see that they are all running aggressively and rushing for offensive rebounds, none of them are concentrating on it. They all have things on their minds and are particularly prone to irritability.
Things like mental outlook and game attitude are contagious. The impatience of rookies like Howard and Josh quickly spread to the entire team. Even veterans like Nash and Hill, who have been playing for almost 10 years, made many mistakes.
It seems that although they have rich competition experience, experience and stability cannot be directly equated.
The mental qualities of Nash and Hill are not gifted, they will all have their ups and downs. They can't do "the mountain collapses in front of them but their appearance remains unchanged, the elk thrives on the left but its eyes don't blink".
However, there are a few in the league who are particularly stable. Their brains are like computers set to read-only. No matter how others change, they can remain the same.
Duncan is such a representative. The nickname "Stone Buddha" is not for nothing. Billups is also very stable. Whether it is the provocation of his opponents or the betrayal of his teammates, he can smile and not care. And now
Durant also belongs to this type of person. The last one is Rasheed Wallace. The "Roaring God" will let the world collapse for him, and I will remain tall and unchanging. No matter whether I win or lose, no matter what the situation is on the scene, even more
No matter what he does, he opens his mouth and spits out. He scolds his opponent when he should, and yells at the referee when he needs to. No one can hold him back or persuade him...
The Magic's people are unstable, the young players can't get into the correct game state, and the new players can't control the situation. It's easy to imagine that this game will be ruined.
After the last game, the Magic made 24 turnovers, and even Nash made 6 turnovers, which was almost double the number compared to usual times.
The Heat's Van Gundy thought very clearly that because of his height and weight, O'Neal will definitely not be able to play like he did yesterday. He can't play, so I will let Wade play today, with Wade as the main player and O'Neal as the main player.
auxiliary.
There are only two points difference between Wade this season and later. First: Wade is now unable to shoot three-pointers from long range. Not only is his shooting percentage poor, but his desire to shoot long distances is also insufficient. As a shooting guard, after one game, he
Maybe not even a three-point shot. Second: There is no star whistler yet.
This is very important for Wade. His main means of scoring has always been breakthroughs, and when we often talk about lethality, we mainly refer not to breakthrough points, but to fouls. If there are two star whistles in a game
, then Wade can get 4 more points, and it can also cause the opponent's players to commit two more fouls. As mentioned before, what the inside is most afraid of is too many fouls.
Although there is still a slight gap compared with later, in terms of breakthrough scoring, Wade has reached the pinnacle at this time.
In the end, Wade made 15 of 24 shots in the game, and also made 9 free throws, scoring a game-high 39 points.
Although the Heat's tactics are clear and the players' ability to adjust is good, the shooting rate is still very low. The team's shooting rate is less than 40%. However, the Magic is even worse, only 35%. No one on either side except Wade scores 20 points.
In the end, 97-91, the Heat won the second round at home.
After playing the Heat, the Magic once again had a five-day offseason. On March 2, they went to play the Kings away from home.
"There are still 4 seconds left in the game, 107-110, and the Kings are still 3 points behind. However, they have the ball and the game has reached the most critical moment. The Kings can only shoot three-pointers, and then the two teams will play overtime. There is nothing else.
With retreat now, the question now is who will take the last shot." Groom Gilbert explained the game.
"The King's first choice now is Stojakovic. His three-point ability is unquestionable, but I believe Paul of the Magic also knows this and focuses on guarding him. However, Bobby Jackson and Mike Bibby also have three-pointers.
We'll see how Adelman arranges his abilities." Compared to the excitement of the audience and the two commentators around him, Steve Kerr was very calm. After all, he was the person who had the final game winner.
, this situation now can only be regarded as a small scene for him.
"We must strictly guard against three-pointers. Don't worry about the inside. Let me guard against three-pointers. The key point is Stojakovic. He has the capital to make the last shot, both technically and psychologically. He has done so this season.
The experience of defeating the Wizards, so be careful. Marion, the most troublesome person will be left to you. Others cannot relax their vigilance and must follow their defensive players. In the end, don't foul, fouls are nothing.
It’s all over, do you understand?”
This game was so intense that the two sides took the lead 15 times and tied 24 times. Especially in the fourth quarter, basically you score one and I change another, you shoot a three-pointer and I score 2+1, and the score remains the same.
Without pulling away, Edison's voice, which had been roaring on the sidelines for a long time, was already a little hoarse.
Until the last 30 seconds, Howard fouled Brad Miller when he blocked the shot, but Miller, who usually shoots more than 80% of his free throws, unexpectedly made a mistake and made 1 of 2. Then the Magic did not rush to play fast breaks, but killed time.
, and after more than 20 seconds, Hill relied on Marion's screen to break into the Kings penalty area. Under Ostertag's block, he threw a shot and hit the board. The ball bounced on the rim again before falling into the net.
middle.
This ball extended the Magic's lead to three points and only left the Kings 4 seconds...
The bell rang, players on both sides returned to the court, and Brad Miller took the throw-in.
Adelman's original plan was the same as Edison's, which was to let Stojakovic take the last shot. However, when players from both sides crowded into the wall, Howard and Marion took Stojakovic one after another.
He was squeezed into the middle and couldn't move.
Miller made two passes without waiting for Stojakovic. Now everyone in the Kings had their hearts in their throats. They had no timeouts. If the ball couldn't come out, then
They are completely out of luck.
Just when the referee was about to blow the whistle, a player in white clothes suddenly got rid of his defender and ran to the top of the three-point arc. Miller didn't even think about the original coach's arrangement at first glance. Without any hesitation, he quickly
The ball was given to him.
When Edison saw the person receiving the ball clearly, his heart felt as if someone had grabbed it out of his body, and his entire chest was empty. Then a thought flashed through his mind, "It's broken."
DeShawn Stevenson was drafted by the Jazz with the 23rd overall pick in the first round of 2000. After spending three and a half seasons in Utah, he came to the Orlando Magic on the transfer deadline in 2003. But when the season ended
, Edison signed and traded him to the Sacramento Kings, and what he received in exchange was Martin, a rookie that year, a first-round pick in 2005, a sum of cash, and a trade exception.
Although after arriving with the Kings, he got along very well with other players, and he was also very adaptable to Princeton's tactics. He was able to score 11 points in limited substitute time, but he never forgot that the Magic staff informed him that he was not in the team's plan.
That kind of indifference.
He has always wanted to meet the Magic, defeat them, and let them know what a mistake it was to give up on him. Today he finally got this opportunity.
After receiving the ball, Stevenson adjusted his steps and Iguodala and Tony Allen rushed over like two ghosts hitting the goal. However, when the two came to him, the ball had already been released.
Already.
When the ball drops, the red light turns on. Whether it goes to overtime or the Magic wins depends on the result of the final ball.

2 important things.
First: Stop thinking about having a single female lead. I don’t know how to have a single female lead. Five people are not **.
Second: Feishen’s collection is not very good and I have lost confidence. Please help me brush up the data and collect it.
