In the next five preseason games, the Orlando Magic maintained a tepid attitude. Adrian, Lewis, and Michael Pietrus never played more than 25 minutes. Even so, the Orlando Magic
In the next five preseason games, they still achieved a record of victory.
On October 9, the Orlando Magic defeated the Bobcats by 28 points at the Amway Center at home. Seven days later, the Orlando Magic visited Charlotte and defeated the Bobcats by 24 points again.
On October 19, the Orlando Magic, still playing away from home, went to Miami to challenge the new No. 2 pick Michael Beasley, and once again defeated the Heat 105:90 by 15 points. As the No. 2 pick, Michael Beasley held up against the opponent.
Zhang has a stinking face that everyone owes him thirty thousand yuan, but his performance on the court is really unsatisfactory.
On October 21, the Orlando Magic played away from home and met the Hawks for the second time. The Atlanta Hawks played at home and still had no good way to defeat the Orlando Magic, losing again 109:94. On October 23, the Atlanta Hawks returned to their home court.
The Orlando Magic neatly wiped out their last preseason opponent, the Grizzlies, with a huge victory.
In this way, the Orlando Magic achieved a dazzling victory record in the six preseason games. Although this is closely related to the lack of strong opponents in the Orlando Magic's six preseason games. Among the six opponents, only Atlanta
The Eagles were on the list for last year's playoffs. But this understatement of sweeping the field is still shocking.
Many media have begun to exclaim that the Orlando Magic have amazing momentum this season and are definitely a strong contender for the championship. However, this argument lacks the test of strong dialogue. It is far from being called the mainstream. However, with the preseason games
The end of the regular season is approaching, and a game to test whether the Magic is really talented is approaching with high profile in everyone's attention.
On October 30, the Orlando Magic ushered in the first game of the new season at home, a strong dialogue.
Orlando Magic vs Los Angeles Lakers!
The league's lineup is definitely not randomly arranged. Otherwise, how could the twenty-nine teams in the league, excluding the Magic, be able to pick the Lakers? Of course, no one is targeting this matter.
Complaints, it’s really this game that scratched the itch of the media, the fans, and everyone who cares.[
There are too many topics between the Magic and the Lakers.
To put it further, it was precisely because the Lakers lured O'Neal away from the Orlando Magic that the ok dynasty came into being, and the Orlando Magic lost their best chance to win the championship. Even this old grudge is now
Fans have basically stopped paying attention. But there are still huge topics to talk about between the two teams.
Adrian Kwilter and Dwight Howard.
The debate over the exchange of ownership between the two has not stopped since last year's transaction. Whether the Lakers took advantage or the Magic took the lottery ticket, no one can argue clearly in the short term.
Because of the defeat in the Finals, because Adrian played so well and wonderfully with the Magic, and because Howard showed great discomfort after coming to the Lakers. Complaining about the trade between Howard and Adrian is a mess.
It’s not that there are no Lakers fans. It’s not even a small group, but a large part!
If last year, the Los Angeles Lakers, which formed the Lakers' Big Three of Kobe, Howard, and Gasol, could finally defeat the Celtics and win the championship, this kind of doubt would be much smaller, and even slightly unlikely to appear. Originally,
The doubts I had had will disappear with the joy of winning the championship.
But the Lakers failed to win the championship...
Therefore, they have no way to respond to those comments such as "If Adrian is still here, he may have won the championship". They can only hold back their strength and prepare to prove themselves with the championship this season.
On the Orlando side, Orlando fans also hate this deal. But it's not because these people think that if Howard is still with the Magic, they can win the championship last season. Adrian has proven with games that he can do better than Howard.
better.
What they hate is not the deal itself, but Howard!
It is true that Howard's performance in this transaction was too unbearable. Not only did he openly express his desire to play in Los Angeles in front of the media, he also revealed to the media the secrets between the Magic locker room and even revealed that he and head coach Stan
-Van Gundy's conflicts are team secrets that should never have been revealed to the media.
Having done all this, Dwight Howard happily forced the Magic management to send him to Los Angeles, but also completely offended the Magic fans.
Before the game started, some Magic fans issued a call on the official website to use this game to teach Howard, the 'Judas', an unforgettable lesson!
"We have to win this game!" Before the game started, in the home team's locker room, Adrian smiled and said to his teammates who were getting ready.
Although he was smiling and without any harsh words, everyone could feel Adrian's strong desire to win. Everyone's faces couldn't help but become serious. As the opening game of the new season, the opponent was the Los Angeles Lakers.
, at the Amway Center, home of the Magic. This game is obviously about winning but not losing.[
It can be said that it is a common phenomenon in NBA for home team fans to 'welcome' away team stars with boos at home. Generally speaking, the more famous and capable the away team stars are, the more complicated the boos they receive. Among them
Even mixed with a lot of insults.
As the biggest star of the Los Angeles Lakers, Kobe Bryant should have received the most boos from the Los Angeles Lakers in the away game, but today, all his limelight was taken away by Dwight Howard, who returned to Orlando.
When Dwight Howard came on as the third player from the bottom in Los Angeles, the originally noisy Amway Center suddenly erupted into a uniform roar!
"Judas!"
In the stands of the Amway Center, there were many Magic fans holding pieces of paper. While roaring loudly, they raised the pieces of paper in their hands high and spelled out a bloody word, jus!
There were even a lot of Magic fans holding up cups that were riddled with holes in the No. 12 Magic home jersey, with the name 'Howard' on it smeared in blood-red jus!
Orlando Magic fans have reason to resent Howard.
As the saying goes, the deeper the love, the deeper the hate. Before this incident, how much Magic fans loved Howard, and after this incident, how much Magic fans hated Howard. Dwight Howard was involved in this transaction
His various performances and the role he played were a shameful betrayal in the eyes of Orlando fans.
Facing the crazy insults from the fans, the 'innocent' smile that often appeared on Dwight Howard's face disappeared and was replaced by a livid expression.
Compared to Dwight Howard, other members of the Los Angeles Lakers did not receive too much shouting from Magic fans when they played. Perhaps they should thank Howard for completely attracting all the firepower of Magic fans. These boos were even during the appearance ceremony.
After the end, the two teams continued to adapt to the court practice. As soon as Howard touched the basketball, loud boos and insults mixed with Judas would sound.
Adrian has no sympathy for Howard at all. After entering the league, everyone is an adult and must be responsible for what they do. Although from his heart, Adrian does not feel that Howard has committed anything.
It was a big mistake. After all, people go to higher places and water flows to lower places. Since Howard thought that he could have a better development by going to Los Angeles, he left. But since he left, he also made a lot of decisions to leave Orlando.
With all kinds of things like that, we can't blame Orlando fans for not remembering their old friendship and targeting him like this.
His eyes flickered to Howard, and then Adrian looked at another person and walked over: "Long time no see, Kobe." (To be continued...)
