legendary point guard

The Chicago Bulls also arrived in Orlando on the afternoon of May 5th, and their game against the Magic will start two days later.

In the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, only the Washington Wizards and the Cleveland Cavaliers have not yet released the final results. However, two hours before the game on this day, the Washington Wizards officially announced that team leader Gilbert Arenas will be injured by a lateral meniscus in his left knee. The tear will completely bid farewell to the playoffs, and at the same time announced that Arenas will undergo surgery at the Capital Sibury Memorial Hospital two days later.

This news is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Washington fans. Originally, they were 1:3 behind the Cavaliers, but the absence of Arenas directly made them lose confidence. The quasi-triple-double kicked out of the playoff stage, and all the Eastern Conference semifinals have been played so far.

On the same night, there were two focus battles in the Western Conference. One was the Houston Rockets, which had a 3:2 lead, challenged the Utah Jazz away, and the other was the Dallas Mavericks, the league's number one, against the Golden State Warriors. The score is 3:2 lead.

"**! Utah is a disgusting place. If you don't brag about this kind of action, he almost pulled Tracy's dick off." Howard yelled.

McGrady was complaining to the referee in the TV camera, but the referee still insisted on his penalty, so McGrady had no choice but to run to the backcourt.

"Is Xido your old teammate so accurate? Why didn't I feel that he was very accurate in the first few games?" Howard turned his head and asked.

"Oh, he caught the ball again." Azubuike yelled. Yao Ming's strong hit in the TV camera was a little low because of the ball. Deron Williams quickly double-teamed and stabbed the ball in Yao Ming's hand. The ball, and the Jazz's counterattack quickly came to the frontcourt in almost a few seconds, but Okur did not settle** but stood directly outside the three-point line.

Stan Van Gundy's eyes are shining. He likes players like Okur very much. If Turkoglu's body is stronger and his defensive ability is better, he will definitely move Turkoglu to the power forward position without hesitation. In that way, if Howard makes further progress, Turkoglu's pulling out can help Howard open up a lot of space.

On the screen, Okur made a three-pointer directly after receiving Kirilenko's point, and the Jazz also pulled the point difference to 8 points.

"Dwight, your offense is far inferior to Yao, so you won't encounter many such treatment, but it doesn't mean you won't encounter it. First of all, lift the ball up and don't put it below your waist. If you don't like it If someone steals the ball."

"I will pay attention, do I make a lot of mistakes? Wood is our mistake king." Howard said with a big grin.

Lin Sen rolled his eyes at Howard, and Stan Van Gundy turned his head to stare at Howard and said, "Wood can pass the ball, what can you do? This summer you need to practice your ball distribution ability, you will get double-team opportunities, And this means that your teammates will have a chance, so you need to distribute the ball in time instead of waiting for the defender to double-team and panic pass a terrible pass. , of course, the premise is that you have the ability to do it yourself."

Howard raised his hands: "ok! ok! ok! I know I have a lot of shortcomings, I will work hard, believe me."

But Howard's words got a lot of blank stares, and the Rockets finally narrowed the point difference to 1 point. Yao Ming made the mistake that Van Gundy emphasized just now and was stabbed by Kirilenko, and then Yao Ming was again by Kirilenko Come up from the weak side and block directly.

McGrady made two mistakes in a row, and the Rockets fell behind by 10 points in an instant. In the end, they lost 82-94, and the Jazz pulled the total score to 3:3. series.

Immediately after the game between the Rockets and the Jazz, the entire Magic team watched the Warriors vs. Mavericks. Like many people, the Magic sympathized with the Mavericks as the league’s No. [-] but may be hacked. .

"Such a home stadium is really cool." Howard sighed. The Warriors' home stadium was full of seats on TV. Oracle Stadium, which can accommodate 2 people, was packed with crazy fans, and almost all Warriors fans wore golden T-shirts. The slogan "we-believe" was written on the chests, and the entire Oracle Center game made people feel the fanatical atmosphere before the game started.

In webelieve's slogan, the Warriors took the lead, and the Mavericks, the number one in the league, fell behind by 63 points 86:23 at the end of the third quarter.

"God, Wood King State is so fucking crazy, Dirk is almost crying, we will definitely win the next round." Howard pulled Lin Sen and said.

"Dwight, we can win the next round, but the premise is that you don't get beaten all over the place by **ig**en." Lin Sen said with a smile.

Howard, who was still very happy at first, suddenly became depressed. After thinking for a while: "No, absolutely not, I'm Dwight."

"Really? We are looking forward to your performance." Dennis Rodman said with a smile, followed by laughter from the entire locker room, embarrassing Howard.

"I can definitely do it." Howard said with his head raised, but anyone could hear the lack of confidence in his tone.

"Well, I hope you can too, so we can definitely beat Chicago." Stan Van Gundy said with a smile. He didn't want Howard to lose confidence before he played. That would not be good news for the Magic.

In the end, the Mavericks failed to create a miracle, but became the third Black Eight team in NBA history, and it was also the first Black Eight team after the 7-game 4-win system was adopted in the playoffs.

But in connection with the Golden State Warriors' 4:0 record of the Dallas Mavericks in the regular season, this black eight is not so dazzling.

And Stan Van Gundy thought a lot about not being kind to the enemy. If the Mavericks didn't release water in the final game of the regular season, the Golden State Warriors would have no chance to enter the playoffs, and there would be no such shameful hacking. eight.

But there is no if in history. Looking at the disappointed little general Avery Johnson on the screen, Stan Van Gundy actually had some gloating in his heart.

The Dallas Mavericks were hacked eight, and last season's finals led 2:0 and were eliminated by the Miami Heat in 4 games in a row. The Dallas Mavericks are undoubtedly the saddest person in these two seasons, but Orlando Multimedia is excited.

Because the Dallas Mavericks were hacked, as the leader of the Mavericks, German Dirk Nowitzki's performance in the playoff series was really bad. Even if Nowitzki performed well in the regular season, the regular season mvp The selection won't be made until the semifinals are almost over.

Nowitzki's exit also means that it will affect the media's opinion of him, and it also means that if Lin Sen performs well in the future, he is likely to become the third n**a to win the best rookie and the regular season mvp players.

The Orlando multimedia couldn't wait to start building momentum, and Otis Smith also sent well-prepared Linsen season highlights and a little bit of Orlando specialties to those participating in the voting media and reporters in the name of the Magic team.

And the Phoenix media is naturally not willing to fall behind Orlando. Steve Nash won the mvp in the past two years. If he continues to win this season, he will become the fourth player in n**a history to win three consecutive awards. Now The elimination of Nash's good brother Nowitzki will undoubtedly increase the possibility of Nash winning the award for three consecutive years.

Dallas people became the most miserable people, but who but them pity them.

On May 5th, this was the first time since the n**a playoffs started without a game. However, every team has not stopped busy, and the teams that are still in the playoffs are working hard to prepare , The teams that left the playoffs began to think about how to strengthen, and the teams that did not enter the playoffs were busy trying out the rookies who were about to usher in the draft.

Time came to the night of the 5th, and the atmosphere in Orlando completely changed. When the sun rose the next day, crazy fans could be seen everywhere in Orlando, because there were so many local fans in Orlando that many employees of the company were still in the afternoon. Appears absent-minded when not at get off work.

When it was time to get off work, Mather Matthews, the director of Disneyland in Orlando Disneyland, was the first to rush out of the Disneyland office building, and Mather Matthews' crazy behavior surprised many people, because this It was the first time they saw Mather Matthews. They had the impression that Matthews was a person who was orderly and never flustered, but obviously he was not like this today.

And this kind of Orlando people are too common on this day. The game between the Orlando Magic and the Chicago Bulls started at 07:30 in the evening. When there was still an hour before the game started, the Water House Center was already full.

"Scotty, don't you have any ideas?" Howard asked Pippen.

Pippen laughed: "What do I want to think? Reluctant or excited? Dwight, don't forget that I am already a half-century old man, not a young man like you."

"I heard that MJ is coming tonight."

"So what?" Pippen waved his hand and left the locker room.

Pippen and Rodman are undoubtedly the focus of fans and media attention. In contrast, Rodman's loyalty to the Bulls is far inferior to Pippen. After all, Pippen started his career in Chicago.

Although Pippen first joined the Rockets and then the Portland Trail Blazers later in his career, he finally returned to the Windy City and retired with the Chicago Bulls.

And after leaving the Bulls, he did not meet the Bulls in the playoffs, and Rodman joined the Bulls for only three short years, although it was also the most glorious three years of the Bulls dynasty, which also sublimated his historical status But for Chicagoans, it's still far behind Pippen.

Jordan and Pippen have long been imprinted in the hearts of the people of the Windy City, and this matchup naturally aroused the emotions of countless media. The "Chicago Tribune" even claimed that the main reason for the Magic's promotion was the experience of Pippen and Rodman.

And just half an hour before the start of the game, Chen Cong, who was allowed by "Xinhua News Agency" to cover sports events for the first time, was about to enter the stadium and accidentally found a person. After a little reaction, Chen Cong immediately stepped up and walked over.

"Michael, can I have a brief interview?"

A voice came from behind Jordan, making Jordan vomit blood in anger. He came today secretly to go to the Bulls locker room of the visiting team to encourage the Bulls players. He didn't want to be discovered by reporters before the game, but he was discovered anyway.

Jordan really wanted to pretend he couldn't hear it, but Chen Cong behind him didn't give Jordan a chance to slip away.

"Of course, it's just that the game is about to start now, can we wait after the game?" Jordan said with a smile.

"I just need to ask two questions, and it'll be quick."

Jordan wanted to say something else, but seeing many reporters following him, he nodded immediately: "Talk while walking, just two questions." He lowered his baseball cap a little while talking.

Chen Cong didn't know why Jordan looked like this, but he was very happy to get Jordan's consent: "Michael, did you come to the Water House Center today to help the Chicago Bulls cheer or to help Scottie and Dennis cheer?"

Jordan really wants to swear, cheering for Pippen and Rodman is not the same as cheering for the Magic. Team Bulls.

"No, I'm cheering for the Bulls guys. Of course, I'll cheer for Scotty and Dennis, but the most important thing is the Bulls." Jordan said.

This question is not difficult for Jordan, but Chen Cong obviously does not intend to let Jordan go, even if he was only responsible for international news interviews and not sports interviews.

"It is well known that you were not optimistic about Wood Lynn before the draft in June last year, and you did not choose Wood Lynn in the draft and you thought Adam Morrison was the best, so what do you think now? A lot People say you made the mistake of the century again."

Hearing Chen Cong's question, Jordan was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood. Everyone would ask him this question and poke his wound again and again.

"No, I don't think Adam is not good. Although Wood Lin did well, he is not the one we need. We have Raymond, so the game is about to start." Jordan quickened his pace without waiting for Chen Cong to react.

"Hey, Michael." Chen Cong shouted behind him. Chen Cong's shout let the reporters behind him know that Jordan had sneaked into Orlando. This was big news in their eyes.

When the Magic entered the playoffs, many reporters asked Jordan about his views on the Magic. Of course, they still asked Jordan about Lin Sen. After the Magic swept the Nets, many reporters called Jordan directly. When the Bulls and Magic played against Jordan, they were harassed crazily.

"Hey, Charles, I heard that Michael came to Orlando, and it was secretly." Kenny Smith shoved Barkley with his shoulder.

"Mj is here? Secretly? Wow, could it be that he has been speechless in front of Wood Lynn? Yes, if I were him, I would be ashamed to appear in front of Wood Lynn."

"Charles, you are Michael's good friend." Kenny Smith joked.

"Kenny, a true friend won't tell when he made a mistake. I'm looking forward to Michael's expression watching the game, especially when Wood hits a good ball. Hey, I find that I'm a bit bad, haha." Barkley smiled unscrupulously.

Jordan, who was in the visiting team's locker room, couldn't help but sneezed.

"I believe that you will not let the Chicagoans down, kill them at their home court, I will cheer for you on the sidelines, I am proud of you." Jordan waved his fist and said.

Even though Jordan has left the Bulls for several years, his status in the hearts of Bulls players is still lofty.

"Kill Orlando." Ben Gordon yelled, and soon the entire locker room was full of Kill Orlando.

Amid the boos of the fans, the Chicago Bulls players played one by one. When the Bulls players came out, the center of the water house fell into darkness.

When the hoarse roar of the live dj sounded, the magic players began to appear on the stage.

When Lin Sen appeared on the stage, the decibels of the shouts in the center of the water house reached the highest value.

Orlando Magic fans were immediately excited to see Jordan sitting in the front row at halftime, but soon became more excited.

Mather Matthews sits to Jordan's left, and to Jordan's right is a stunning Shaquille O'Neal.

"Oh, when did Shaq come to the sidelines? God, did he learn to be invisible? Otherwise, how could we not find him with such a large size." Barkley yelled, and the fans were also a little overjoyed. It's been a year, but O'Neal still has a home here, and he certainly won't come to the sidelines to cheer for the Bulls.

"Maybe Shaq was eliminated and went home sad, and then thought Orlando might bring him joy so he came." Kenny Smith said with a smile.

Jordan didn't expect that O'Neal also came to the sidelines: "Shaq, I didn't expect you to come too."

"Anyway, I have nothing to do, why don't you come and see, these little guys will definitely do better than I did back then." O'Neill said with a smile.

Jordan was depressed for a while, being better than O'Neal meant that O'Neal supported the Magic's victory.

"Shaq, that's not necessarily the case. Chicago's strength is not what it was a few years ago." Jordan said with a smile.

Mather Matthews, who was just to Jordan's left, interrupted after hearing the conversation between Jordan and O'Neal.

"Hey, Michael is glad to see you here, are you here to see how bad Wood is?" Without waiting for Jordan to answer Mather, Matthews replied, "I'm afraid you will be disappointed, Wood will lead Orlando moving forward."

Jordan was about to explode. He regretted his decision to come to Orlando, but his depression was far from over.

Huang Wei is a local Chinese fan in Orlando. He likes basketball very much. Every time Yao Ming comes, he will buy tickets. When Lin Sen came to the Orlando Magic, he even bought a season ticket and became a regular fan of the Magic. He even became the head of the Linsen Orlando Chinese fan group because of his ability.

In this game, he organized almost 200 fans to come to the scene, and at the moment he is sitting on the sidelines just behind Jordan.

"Hey, Michael, thank you for your generosity. Without you, Minnesota would not have gotten Wood. Without Minnesota, we would not have gotten Wood. It is you who made our revival possible. Thank you." .

And a group of Chinese beside Huang Wei made the same movement, which happened to be captured by the live director, and Jordan's face was full of embarrassment. (To be continued.)
