"The Clippers fans at Staples are very disappointed. I understand their feelings. The loss of this game means that they have fallen a little bit behind the game that must be won. For them in the game, they can't afford to be left behind." Hoffman said, looking at the frustrated fans leaving.

"However, it's not yet the time when Los Angeles is desperate. Their season is not over yet. All they can do is to play every game well. Only in this way can they keep their hope until the end. Who knows what the result will be until the last moment?" Bill Wharton said.

Lin Sen looked at Sam Cassell in front of him and heard the situation of playing against Cassell at the beginning of the season. Garnett and McHale also told him that Cassell would help him improve. Now he has arrived in Orlando Not in Minnesota.

"Sam, I'd like you to help me out in the offseason if possible, I want to learn something from you."

"Learn from me?" Cassel was a little surprised. He greeted Lin Sen as a normal procedure after the game. He didn't expect Lin Sen to ask to learn from him.

"Oh, I remembered, kg once told me, but damn it, my brain is old and my memory has deteriorated, so I actually forgot about it." Cassel patted his head and said with a smile.

Lin Sen smiled: "I know it's a bit abrupt, and you also have your time during the offseason, but I don't take up much time."

"It's okay, it's okay, I have already agreed to kg on this matter, and I am also happy to help you, not to mention that I myself have to train during the offseason, you can also help me as a companion."

Lin Sen didn't expect Kassel to be so talkative, but he couldn't help looking forward to Kassel's emaciated post-up singles, slow speed but breakthrough rhythm, and his good mid-range emergency stop jump shot.

In addition to the previous agreement with Kobe to train together, Lin Sen believes that he can learn some of Kobe's good offensive skills at close range.

Although this season is coming to an end, and his own personal data is also very beautiful, and can even be described as luxurious, Lin Sen is not satisfied with what the data shows on the surface.

Compared with the data, Lin Sen knows that he still has a lot to learn and improve, and the offseason is undoubtedly the best opportunity.

"My players played well. Although we lost the game tonight, I am very satisfied with their state. The season is not over and the door to the playoffs is not closed. I believe we still have a chance to enter the playoffs." Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy said at the press conference after the game.

When talking about Lin Sen, Mike Dunleavy smiled helplessly: "There is no doubt that his performance is phenomenal. Although I don't pay much attention to every game of his, I have played against him before and I also know he can score well, and this game proved it, and I believe he has a bright future."

The Orlando Magic's victory over the Los Angeles Clippers is also considered a good start for the last back-to-back of the season. With the victory of this game, the Magic's record has increased to 50 wins and 26 losses.

也是奥兰多魔术18年n**a历史上第4次单赛季胜场超过50,而上一次超过50场胜利还是“大鲨鱼”奥尼尔离开奥兰多前往洛杉矶前的1995-96赛季,那个赛季奥尼尔和“便士”哈达威带领魔术取得的60胜22负。

"A great renaissance era for Orlando is coming" - this is the title of the column written by Orlando Magic and team media "Orlando Sentinel" reporter Mike Bianchi.

"When the full game whistle sounded, we won 10 wins again after 50 seasons. When was the last time we won 50 wins?

I think too many people in Orlando remember that glorious memory, but now we have this honor again.

Even though it was just a regular-season win, it was the start of a great renaissance for us in Orlando.

I think countless people in Orlando are looking forward to a brighter future that belongs to us, Wood Lin and Dwight Howard, this is our biggest reliance, this is another shark + penny combination that God sent us..."

Just like the praise sent by Orlando Multimedia, the Orlando Magic fans who have been waiting for more than ten years have regained the hope of the O'Brien Cup. Dwight Howard, who is only 2 years old in half a year, has made Magic fans full of confidence.

Lin Sen and Howard's internal and external combination also made other uniforms very envious. Although Howard's current skills are still extremely poor, a center with high-quality potential is undoubtedly a huge killer in this era when centers are scarce.

Not to mention that Howard, whose technology is far from mature, has already achieved a super data of 20+10 in the third season of his career.

The back-to-back second game against the Los Angeles Lakers also attracted national attention. Kobe Bryant, who was extremely eager to enter the playoffs, started to attack the Magic from the very beginning of the game, making the Magic's defense miserable.

The defensive strength of the Los Angeles Lakers made the Orlando Magic feel the strength of the playoffs. Kobe's single defense made rookie Lin Sen feel embarrassed again, but compared with the first time facing Kobe, Lin Sen has made significant progress.

But Lin Sen's progress could not let the Orlando Magic get rid of the pressure of the Lakers. Zen Master Jackson was calm on the sidelines, and Stan Van Gundy, who was behind in the score, was also not panicked at all.

The old gods still put Chris Webber and Grant Hill and other veterans on the sidelines to rest, and Lin Sen didn't play even a minute after the end of the first quarter until the end of the halftime game.

This made the teams who watched the game in front of the TV and expected the Magic to kill the Lakers hate it, and Stan Van Gundy naturally knew how he would be evaluated, but he didn't care, he only cared about the team members Health status.

He doesn't want the players of the playoff team to be in poor condition because of the last few games of the playoffs. After the game started in April, he began to control the playing time of the players, and Lin Sen was one of the few who was not controlled.

Before the start of this game, he made up his mind to control Lin Sen's playing time, and tried to give Lin Sen, who averaged 3** points per game in the regular season, more rest. Exercising at the best of his abilities.

Once Lin Sen's performance is abnormal, the Magic will lose their sharpest weapon, let alone defeat their opponents. That's why Stan Van Gundy made such an arrangement.

Lin Sen also agrees with Stan Van Gundy's arrangement. Before entering NAAA, he only played NCAA. The intensity of the big tournament and NAAA is simply incomparable.

This is also the fundamental reason why many rookie players performed well at the beginning of the n**a season but hit the rookie wall around January.

Although Lin Sen didn't seem to hit the rookie wall, Lin Sen knew that after the All-Star Weekend, he was not in a good state for a period of time. He made adjustments on the court, reducing his personal offense and more teamwork. come over.

Lin Sen sat off the court and watched Kobe's performance, and he was full of expectations for training with Kobe during the offseason.

At the end of the first half, Kobe scored a terrifying 24 points to lead the Lakers ahead of the Magic by 13 points.

林森在下半场比赛上场了10分钟后帮助魔术缩小了一些分差,但到了最后的第四节林森还是1分钟没打,最终主场作战的洛杉矶湖人在科比全场40分的带领下以102:84击败了背靠背第二战的奥兰多魔术。

The turmoil after the game can be imagined. The Clippers, who lost to the Magic last night, the Warriors, who are eighth in the West and are chasing the Lakers, Chris Paul's Hornets and Timberwolves, all expressed strong dissatisfaction with the Magic's adjustment of the lineup.

But their dissatisfaction can't change Van Gundy's mind, even if the league fines the Orlando Magic $10 for negative games under the pressure of complaints from many clubs.

"I will not change our style of play because of this. My players have experienced a long season, and their physical fitness has reached their limit. I must be responsible for his body and our playoffs." Stan Van Gundy accepted reporters Said so during the interview.

After losing the game against the Lakers, the Orlando Magic's record became 50 wins and 27 losses.

The LeBron James-led Cleveland Cavaliers also lost Game [-] of back-to-back games against the Indiana Pacers the night after the Magic and the Lakers.

However, compared with the Magic, they also failed to win the last back-to-back first game of the season. James, who was one rebound away from the triple-double, lost to Jason Kidd, who won the triple-double. Won a triple-double but still failed to help the team win.

Consecutive losses to the Nets and Pacers also changed the Cavaliers' record from 50 wins and 25 losses to 50 wins and 27 losses.

With the three games between the Orlando Magic and the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Magic have achieved a 2:1 lead. Under such circumstances, the Magic ranks second in the Eastern Conference.

With 5 games left in the regular season for both teams, both the Magic and the Cavaliers are likely to become second in the Eastern Conference.

排名东部第五的芝加哥公牛45胜30负也基本无法追赶骑士和魔术,而实际战绩排在公牛身后,但以大西洋赛区头名身份排在东部第四的多伦多猛龙42胜34负想要超过被身后39胜35负的迈阿密热火追上可能姓也不大。

After all, the Heat are the team with the most ups and downs in the league's regular season games. In the remaining 8 games, the Miami Heat still have two back-to-back games to play. In the 8 games, there are five teams fighting for the playoffs.

Behind the Heat, the New Jersey Nets and the Washington Wizards are still two games away from the Heat, but their final opponents are not as strong as the Heat, which means that the Miami Heat are likely to fall to the eighth and seventh spots in the Eastern Conference at the last moment. Location.

If it falls to eighth, then the Miami Heat will play against the Eastern Conference leader Detroit Pistons, but once it falls to seventh or maintains its original position of sixth, then the chances of the Magic and the Heat facing each other in the first round of the playoffs will increase.

Against the Heat is a situation that Stan Van Gundy absolutely does not want to see, and the variables of the Heat also make Van Gundy worry, but fortunately, the Heat need to play 2 games before the Magic's next game.

These two games can make Stan Van Gundy think about it: "It seems that we can only follow the Heat and the Nets Wizards step by step."

"Actually, we won't necessarily lose even against the Heat. I think we have a great chance of winning." Otis Smith said looking at Stan Van Gundy.

"It's big. The whole world knows that the Miami Heat are not in good shape, but the key question is what if this group of nursing home guys recover their vitality in the playoffs? So the best situation is not to play against the Heat. Fortunately, Our last game is against the Cavaliers, so we can have a lot of options." Stan Van Gundy said, looking at the lineup.

In the last game of the Magic season, it was an away game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

If the records of the two sides are still tied before this game, then if the Magic wins in the last game, it will ensure the second place in the Eastern Conference, and once the Cavaliers win, then the winning percentage of the two sides in their respective leagues needs to be considered.

In the current games that have been played, the Magic's victory in the Eastern Conference is slightly worse than that of the Cavaliers. There are still three Eastern Conference teams in the last five games of the two teams.

If the two sides are the same in the last game, then the Magic will lose the game and fall to third because of the winning percentage against the Eastern Conference.

If the Heat determine the ranking before the last game, then everything is relatively easy to handle, but Van Gundy is worried that the Heat will not be able to determine the ranking in the final round, so the Magic will have to make other preparations for the final game against the Cavaliers.

"Stan, I forgot to tell you one thing. Dwight's agent, Aaron Goodwin, stopped our early contract renewal." Otis Smith's words stunned Stan Van Gundy.

"Didn't it go well before? It's just that they asked for a maximum salary contract?"

"It was true before then, but at the end of March they suddenly asked to put the renewal negotiations on hold."

"What's the situation? Does he want to leave the team?"

Otis Smith shrugged: "It's not that I want to leave the team, but I want to get more privileges. Recently, I got news that the vampire manager Dan Feigen has very close contact with Dwight's father. After all, he and Dwight have a relationship." We've met a few times."

"Dan Feigen? Damn it, why did that guy get involved? Could it be that Dwight wants to fire Goodwin?" Stan Van Gundy frowned.

Dan Fagan is currently one of the most controversial agents in n**a. Although the players are satisfied that he can bring him a big contract, his methods have caused headaches for the uniform team. There are more new methods and Skills to get the best interests and contracts for your clients.

For example, it created a one-year deal signing model that was a headache for the uniform team. This deal model is similar to a one-year contract, but a one-year deal allows a team to sign a player and trade him to another player a year later. The team also retains his rights to the Larry Bird clause, but this requires the league to admit that the player's annual salary increase can reach 12.5% ​​and the player must play for a team for more than 3 years and must not give up or transfer.

"It seems very possible at the moment. Everyone knows Dan Feigen's ability. Dwight does not rule out that it will happen. Although Dwight's progress is not obvious, it is not a problem to give him a maximum salary. The key is to worry about Dan Feigen. Fegan is a guy who is asking too much, and I'm concerned he's going to interfere with Dwight's role we're giving him."

What Otis Smith said is right. The atmosphere in the Magic is good at the moment. Howard also has no meaning for Linson to become the leader of the Magic, although he rarely publicly stated in public that Linson is the leader of the team instead of him.

But if Howard signs Dan. Fegan, then everything may change.

"Let's take it one step at a time. Now let's think about the headache game." Stan Van Gundy said helplessly.

However, the results of the next game went to the point where Van Gundy was least willing to see, and he still rotated players according to his own arrangements.

In addition to those who didn't have much rotation before entering the rotation, veterans such as Chris Webber and Grant Hill who had a break for a while also began to play again to experience the game, but more for the upcoming playoffs. .

The Magic defeated the visiting Atlanta Hawks and Seattle SuperSonics at home, and then defeated the Philadelphia 76ers away, completely kicking the Philadelphia 76ers out of the playoff contenders.

Then lost on the road to the Golden State Warriors, who were trying to secure a playoff berth, while the Cleveland Cavaliers, like the Magic, went 4-1 in the ensuing four games.

This allowed the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Orlando Magic to have the same record before the final direct dialogue, both 54 wins and 27 losses. The Magic still ranked second in the Eastern Conference with a 2:1 lead against each other.

But the sixth to eighth positions in the Eastern Conference playoffs have become the New Jersey Nets, Miami Heat and Washington Wizards.

More importantly, these three teams have the same record of 44 wins and 37 losses. The Nets have only played against the Heat three times this season. The Nets have achieved 2 wins and 1 loss. They have played against the Wizards four times. With 2 wins and 1 loss, the Nets are temporarily ranked sixth in the East by virtue of their record advantage against each other.

The Nets played against the Washington Wizards in the final game of the season, and the Heat played against the Los Angeles Clippers, the ninth place in the West.

The Los Angeles Clippers, ninth in the West, are half a game behind the Golden State Warriors with one game left, and the Golden State Warriors will face the Dallas Mavericks, the number one in the West.

Such a matchup means a lot of variation in the standings, which means there are all kinds of possibilities before the end of the final game, which will be played around the same time.

On April 4, the entire Orlando Magic team flew to Cleveland to usher in the final battle of the 17-2006 season. (To be continued.)
