Marion's complementary dunk completely stabilized the situation.
For a team like the Magic that has a lot of young people, it’s no problem if you let him play with the wind. He can play very well, but once there is a headwind, he will easily collapse. Young players don’t know what to do at first, even if you
Tell them what they should do, but sometimes they can't find the starting point.
At this time, the value of the old players is reflected. The goals scored by Hill and Marion just now were the most ordinary, only 4 points, but they were all completed independently based on their experience and awareness, without any special arrangements from the coach.
The Suns attacked again, and McGrady shot a three-pointer. This time, his touch was no longer so hot. The basketball bounced out of the basket, and Howard steadily grabbed the rebound.
When it was the Magic's turn to attack, after some dazzling pick-and-roll passes, the ball was in Marion's hands again. Facing McGrady's defense, Marion was not fooled by McGrady's confused eyes, and resolutely took the shot from the urinal.
The basketball circled around the basket and finally fell in. The score gap returned to more than 10 points.
The Magic completely took the initiative in the following games. Although the Suns' Tracy McGrady made a sudden outside shot in the final time and scored another 7 points, the trap was a bit too big.
117-109, the Magic defeated the Suns at home.
Marion scored 16 points in the game, which was not many, but in the most critical fourth quarter, he scored 10 points, and he also had 8 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 steals, and was elected as the winner of this game.
mvp.
Nash had a solid double-double with 12 points and 10 assists.
Howard had 13 points and 10 rebounds, and Hill also contributed 18 points. On the contrary, Josh, the team's main scoring point, did not perform well in the head-to-head confrontation with Stoudemire. He only had 12 points and 8 rebounds, and his score dropped by three points.
one part.
After the game, Edison was very excited. He waved his arms crazily in front of the coach's bench, and then hugged everyone around him in celebration.
"Look at my Paul, he's so excited, I almost thought he just won Game 7 of the Finals." Kenny Smith teased Edison boredly.
"No way, Kenny. Most people cry when they win a championship, instead of laughing and celebrating like this." Barkley retorted to Kenny Smith with an idiot look.
"Oh? Is that so, Charles. But I didn't cry when I won the championship twice. We all hugged and celebrated like Paul now. Maybe you cried when you won the championship. I turned around and let work
The staff helped me find the video data from that time." Kenny Smith replied to Buckley seriously.
Kenny was quite sinister and choked Barkley to the point of being speechless, so he could only silently draw circles in the corner.
Edison finished celebrating with his players, and then went to shake hands with the visiting team's D'Antoni in a very graceful manner.
"Today's game was really good, my team just got lucky."
D'Antoni was also very polite and gentlemanly, "Congratulations, but you did a good job, especially the use of Steve Nash. It was very thoughtful and the effect was very good. If I had a player like this
, our team will definitely improve to another level."
Edison thought to himself, "Of course, the Sun with Nash is number one in the West. As for the use of Nash, I'm sorry, I copied it from you." But he could only say this in his heart, but he
I don’t mind pushing D’Antoni, “This is why I spent so much effort in the summer. Do you regret it now?”
After hearing Edison's words, D'Antoni shook his head helplessly and was embarrassed to say anything.
Then Edison and McGrady hugged each other cordially. Although they left the Magic, Edison and McGrady broke up peacefully, and there was no conflict between the two. The two whispered cordially, and some people thought they had a good relationship, but in fact they were.
Just saying some useless official clichés...
After leaving the field, Edison and the players returned to the locker room and celebrated again. Edison happily said that the team would have a day off tomorrow to let everyone have a good rest.
Then took Nash and Marion to the press conference.
The press conference for this game is destined to be unusual, and there will definitely be a lot of topics.
"First of all, congratulations to the Magic for winning this game. Although the Magic won today, McGrady scored a game-high 29 points. May I ask Edison if you regret trading McGrady in the summer."
Edison fiddled with the microphone, "29 points is not a big deal for T-Mac. As long as he is willing, it is 49 points and 59 points are also very easy. His number of shots today should be more than 25, and those 29 points are already
My performance was a bit abnormal. Marion played a big role here. His performance today was very good and he limited McGrady's shooting percentage very well. As for my summer transaction, I have nothing to regret. We obtained it through McGrady
Marion and Iguodala have been eliminated. There is no doubt about the role of these two people in the team now. Our team's current results are very good, and Tracy McGrady is still a strong contender for the scoring title. Everyone is doing well. I
I don’t think anyone has anything to regret.”
"Excuse me, Marion, do you have any special feelings when you are fighting against your old team today?"
"It feels very strange. You know that I have been with the Suns since I entered the league. I played there for 5 years. It can be said that the orange and white jersey of the Suns has been integrated into my blood. During today's game, I felt like it several times.
Subconsciously, I want to pass the ball to the team passing the white jersey. But anyway, my days in the Suns are over, and now I am a member of the Magic." Marion was very calm. Although these words were full of emotion, they were
He spoke eloquently, but it was extremely dull.
But Edison knew that this was not true. Marion usually didn't talk much, so his response to chatting was very slow, and sometimes he was a little stuttered. But today he spoke very fluently, too fluently, so Edison realized that this was what he had done before.
Careful preparation means memorizing the lines.
Sure enough, the next question caught Marion unexpectedly, and his answer was not so calm.
"The current record of the Suns is not particularly good. It is far different from everyone's original expectations. How much impact do you think you can play if you are still in the Suns."
"Hungry, this, I think the biggest problem with the Suns right now is... yes, I think the biggest problem is defense. Their defense is too inactive, and my biggest advantage is defense. Just like today's game, actually
The Suns' offense was very strong and they scored 109 points, which is a number higher than the league average. However, because the defense was not good, we scored more points. So if I were in the Suns, the Suns would lose fewer points.
." Marion answered poorly at first, stumbling, but it was not until he found the key points that he spoke smoothly.
Seeing that Marion had no topic, reporters began to turn their guns and ask questions about Nash.
"Excuse me, Steve, what do you think is the most critical reason for winning today?"
"I think we are more prepared. We have anticipated various possibilities before the game, so on the field, our performance is more stable. Even if our opponents continue to chase points, we have not been irritable."
"Everyone thinks that the Magic have achieved their current record because of your outstanding performance. Do you think this is the reason?" This question is more provocative, because although Nash is very good now, he is not Kobe or Iverson. There is no such thing as
Just suppress everyone's qualifications. So if Nash says it's me who performed well, then other players may be petty, which may cause conflicts. But if you say it's not because of you, he will immediately ask who is more important, as long as you give
A clear answer can still easily cause conflicts among the team...
Nash is also a man who has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he sees this clearly, so he answered the question in a evasive manner, "I played very well, and I am very satisfied with my performance. But the current results are mine alone."
It would be unfair to take credit for it. The current results are the result of the joint efforts of the whole team, whether on the offensive end or the defensive end. Everyone knows that my defense is not good, so our Howard and Josh, as well as Ma
Lyon and others have made more efforts to make up for my shortcomings. If I have to say the person who has contributed the most now, then I think it is our head coach Paul Edison. The current Magic has grown from scratch.
It was built by Paul. In the summer, I was very hesitant about coming to the Magic. I wanted to pursue results. Although Paul contacted me many times, he never convinced me. But who would have thought that he would later come to the bottom of the pot and take the trouble.
This method stopped me from thinking about going to other teams. I think Dwight, Josh and others were also found by Edison. When he told us that our goal was to win the championship, we didn't believe it. But he found it.
The style of play that is most suitable for us. Under the current tactical system, each of us can exert 200% of our strength. However, if anyone in the Magic, including me, leaves this team,
The team may not be able to achieve such outstanding data now. So our biggest contributor now is Paul."
Nash tried his best to praise Edison, while Edison smiled and nodded beside him, even waving in a shameless manner.
The reporters below wanted to vomit when they looked at his mean look, but there was nothing they could do. What Nash said was true. As the Magic's record became better and better, Edison has now become the most popular coach in the league, because he is still signing
With a short contract and a small annual salary, many teams began to pay attention to him. Especially the two rebuilding teams, the Lakers and Bulls, have already shouted in the media, "Paul is welcome to come at any time."
"Slogan. Although the Magic's front office has been coming out to refute the rumors, there has been no substantial progress. Edison has not renewed or changed his contract so far, so the rumors are becoming more and more outrageous.
Seeing Edison's proud look, one of the people below couldn't help it anymore, so he got up and asked questions.
"May I ask Mr. Edison, in yesterday's game between the Bobcats and the Warriors, Okafor scored 30 points, 16 rebounds and 6 assists, and his current scoring average is far ahead of DeWalt Howard. Do you think this is
The difference in strength between the two is still a matter of your tactical arrangements."
Edison looked at the beautiful blond girl on ESPN and thought, "Which organization are you from? You took the wrong medicine again today. Didn't everyone get along well in the past two days? Why are you here again? I have a tactical problem, I will fight your sister
Ah Zhan."
The current scoring comparison between Okafor and Howard is the opposite of Edison. Although everyone with a discerning eye knows that the gap between the two is caused by their different tasks in the team, there are helpless fans and novices who like to talk about data.
thing.
So Edison replied with a constipated expression, "Howard is still young, and Howard's main task is defense, so it's normal that he is not as good as Okafor. Also, don't ask me such rubbish questions in the future. You guys at ESPN have been engaged in sports for so many years."
Sorry, why do you keep asking such unprofessional and substandard questions?"

First of all, I recommend a book [e="Riding Alone in Qinghai-Tibet"]
This book is not an online article, but a memory and a feeling, which is very interesting.
Secondly, the next step is to ask for recommendations.
