legendary point guard

Although Kobe issued the title not to be the last one, he still had to compromise with the result in the end.

Linsen reached a date intention with Megan Fox on Twitter, and McGrady also reached an intention with Halle Berry. Only the appearance of Kobe behind Tracy McGrady and Linsen for almost two days succeeded in convincing Vanessa Got dating rights with Tyra Ebanks.

When Lin Sen and Megan Fox appeared in Los Angeles, it was natural that there would be a lot of support, but no matter how many scandals there were, Lin Sen was no different from one.

Moreover, Lin Sen and Megan Fox, who appeared openly in front of the public, naturally disappointed those who expected more.

Two days after Lin Sen and Megan Fox watched the Los Angeles premiere of the imax version of "Transformers" and had dinner, the nba ushered in the new season training camp of each team, and September 9rd was the magic's new season media day.

And this Magic team has had a huge surprise from last season. The only players left in the Magic this season are Lin Sen, Dwight Howard, Darko Milicic, Chris Webber, and Grant. Hill, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, Devin Brown.

Veterans Pippen and Rodman will rarely appear on the team's activation list in the new season, basically in the role of the team's assistant coach.

The rookie Rudy Fernandez bought in the draft will not sign with the Magic until the season because he still has a contract with the original team, so that the team will have Chauncey Billups, Dikembe Muto in the new season Mbo , eddie griffin , sean battier , ron artest , sam cassell and marcin gortat who will adapt to nbdl for a while It happened to be almost the same as staying in the team.

For the Orlando Magic in the new season, the Orlando multimedia and fans are full of expectations. Although there are strong opponents in the East and West and there are more than one, they are all looking forward to a perfect season for the Magic without exception.

The Orlando Big Four.Straight to the championship" -- this is the headline on the front page of the Orlando Sentinel on Magic Media Day.The accompanying cover picture is a group photo of Lin Sen, Dwight Howard, Chauncey Billups and Ron Artest wearing the Magic home uniform.

"Orlando Fantasy" - This is a column by Adam Claxton, a senior and famous ESPN scout.And Linsen's scouting report before the draft came from Adam Claxton.

"God can testify to what I said before Wood Lynn participated in the NBA draft. My loyal readers must know what I said. I am very proud that what I said basically came true.

I have clearly stated each aspect of offense, defense, and potential, and this is exactly the case. He showed his talent early, a talent that is different, but as I said, he should be ashamed of his shortcomings. There was a conflict with the coaching staff, so he left Minnesota for Orlando.

The difference between Orlando and Minnesota is that they have two different attitudes.One is unbearably forcing him to correct, and the other will develop his strengths and then let him correct slowly. There is no doubt that Orlando is doing the right thing.

I said at the end of that report 'If you have a coach who understands him and a team that is willing to build around him, then you'll get something out of him, but you need to be patient and wait for him to grow. '

He achieved unprecedented success last season, but I still want to say that he is still growing. Although he scored exaggerated statistics, he still needs to grow. In fact, Orlando gave Wood a good room for growth, although I once thought that the burden of the leader might be given to him too early.It turns out that I took this for granted, and the rookie Wood did a good job.

All right.Let's get back to the theme, that's the Orlando Fantasy, I rarely use the word fantasy, but I have to use this word for the new Magic, in fact I prefer to use this word for the uniforms and coaching staff, well actually It should be the uniform group.

They used perfect means to get the perfect players. Whether it is Chauncey or Ron, they are strong enough but not enough to threaten Wood's team status. On the contrary, they can give Wood more help to make Wood faster and better. growing up.

I've seen so many articles describing how great Orlando is this season, but I always feel like I can say it better.

The inside line looks exceptionally strong. The joining of Dikembe and Eddie will make their inside substitutes more secure, but I still want to say that if Dwight can grow smoothly, they are truly worthy of fantasy. As for Dwight, I have to say sorry, because I watched the US Championships and unless he can make a super breakthrough in August, I have to tell the Orlando fans not to expect too much from Dwight.

Even though his 20+10 in the regular season is normal, the arrival of Dikembe will make me feel a lot more at ease, so that Orlando doesn't need to worry about Dwight fouling too much and being bullied inside.

And Darko, yes, this former parallel importer has become my biggest expectation, because I have known him all summer to improve himself in Orlando, look at what a hardworking guy, and he will continue to make Detroit regret it.

The joining of Ron and Sean has made me foresee that Orlando will become a nightmare for countless forwards and defenders in the new season. I can't wait for the start of the new season and the joint performance of the two top defensive players.

As for Chauncey, I don’t think there is anything to say, because he has always been underestimated. His arrival will make it easier for Wood to play, and it will also make the team more at ease. Wood’s growth will benefit from him.

Looking at Orlando's lineup, they are enough to exclude two competitive starting lineups. In the new season, they will become one of the teams with the best depth in the league, which will become an important guarantee for them to compete for the O'Brien Cup in the new season.

As a non-Orlando fan, everyone outside is already looking forward to the opening game of the new season. A strong opponent, the Los Angeles Lakers, will test the strength of this Orlando team. Orlando is headed for the dream, yes I trust my vision because I'm Adam Claxton. "

As Adam Claxton said.The thickness of the Orlando Magic's lineup is definitely at the top level.There is almost nothing comparable to the Magic this season.

But for the coaching staff headed by Stan Van Gundy, it is a happy trouble.A new team means new tactics, and what role should each player play and how long should they play.

For these seemingly simple questions, Stan Van Gundy has been taking the exam for more than a month.

As the training camp unfolded, Stan Van Gundy slowly found his starting lineup.

In this lineup, Billups and Lin Sen will serve as dual point guards. Billups will undoubtedly assume the role of Turkoglu last season, and Billups' personal ability is undoubtedly better than Koglu. Do not sweep, especially breakthrough.And that's exactly what Magic needs.

Stan Van Gundy also likes Artest's tough defense and chaotic ability. Although Artest sometimes shoots randomly, in most cases he can still do his job well in his position. In the new season, in addition to offense, he will help Lin Sen on the defensive end.

And Artest and Battier can be rotated, and they can play together when necessary, such as facing LeBron James or Kobe Bryant.

There is no suspense on the inside. Milicic and Howard are partnered. Although Grant Hill and Battier are important players on the bench, Stan Van Gundy does not plan to let them serve as the sixth man of the team. , but wants Billups and Lin Sen, who are starting to play, to choose to stagger their start and end in the game.

In this way, even if Linsen is off the field and Billups is in control to avoid chaos, it can basically satisfy the point guard position and maintain intensity in each game.A good point guard is the brains of a team, which is why Stan Van Gundy and Otis Smith signed Billups.

"That's good. Even though Boston and Cleveland are strong, I think we're the one with the best quality."

"Obviously yes, look at how much Wood Lin has improved, look at his shooting is obviously a lot more confident, you know, this is a two-pointer." Jeff Van Gundy looked at his brother Stan Van Gundy with some envy Said.

"Yes, it seems that he trained with Kobe and t-mac very well, and the specific effect will not be known until the game." Stan Van Gundy nodded and said that Lin Sen's progress has indeed exceeded his expectations.

Last season, Lin Sen had very few distance shots in the regular season. It wasn't until the second half of the season that there were a little more, but only a little. It wasn't until the finals that distance shots became an offensive method that was not used very much.

Now Lin Sen has been able to skillfully use the emergency stop jumper, and even the signature shots of Kobe and Tracy McGrady.

After the main lineup and the main rotation lineup are determined, the team's targeted tactics are also constantly rehearsed.

The Orlando Magic's preseason will start on October 10, and then they need to play six games, but the Magic's schedule is not easy because they will play two games overseas.

In the first game, they sat at the Waterhouse Center at home to welcome the New Jersey Nets, who swept the opponents in the first round of the playoffs last season, and then immediately went overseas to meet their own two games.

One game will be played at the Taipei Arena on October 10, and the other will be played at the Hong Kong Coliseum on October 17. The opponents are the Cleveland Cavaliers with powerful new aid Mike Bibby and the Boston Celtics with the Big Three. Walters.

And these two opponents are also the biggest opponents of the Orlando Magic out of the Eastern Conference in the new season. Although it is a preseason game, the team attaches great importance to these two games, and the same is true for the opponent.

Magic's opponent, Cleveland Cavaliers, will also go to Macau to play a game against the Chinese national team, while the Boston Celtics will go to Manila to play a game against the Philippine national team. This is undoubtedly David Stern's expansion of NBA influence important means of power.

There are almost ten days before the start of the overseas competition, and tickets for the Taipei Arena and the Hong Kong Coliseum have already started selling.

可以容纳15000人的小巨蛋对外售出的14000张门票开始发售不到半个小时便全部售罄，而可以容纳12000人的香港红馆对外售出的11000张门票更是夸张的在二10分钟全部售罄。

Such a hot football market has also caused countless fans who have not bought tickets to beg for more seats. In the end, both the Arena and the Red Hall decided to temporarily add [-] seats, and a lottery will be used to determine who will have them.Such a hot scene is undoubtedly what David Stern would like to see.

"It's finally time to play the game. I'm almost rusted." Ron Artest shouted while staring at the equipment for exercising calf muscles.

Lin Sen, who was also doing physical training on the side, looked at Artest's muscles and had to admire Artest's title of beast.Because it does look wild.

Lin Sen still remembers the first day he met Artest. Although the two have played against each other in games before, being an opponent and being a teammate are obviously not the same thing.

Although the two sides are very friendly and everyone is a professional player, Lin Sen knows that with so many new players in the team, if Lin Sen wants to convince the other party that he is the leader of the team, he must show his real strength, even if the other party may have been in the past. I've seen it on TV, but it's obviously not the same as direct confrontation.

On the second day when the team officially started training in the afternoon training game, Lin Sen faced Artest's defense and scored consecutive mid-range shots. After Artest paid attention to defending mid-range shots, Lin Sen showed himself Turnover fadeaway learned from Kobe.

Lin Sen is not afraid of direct physical confrontation with Artest.Although it was very difficult, Lin Sen successfully carried Artest away by virtue of his control of the ball. Although his footsteps were a little staggering, Lin Sen finally completed the goal.

And this kind of Lin Sen also made Artest show a proud smile, and Lin Sen, as the boss of the team, would not be stingy. On this night, Lin Sen invited the whole team to have dinner and play nightclubs.

"The feeling of playing the game is really good, especially this is a new environment, I am looking forward to it, and I have to play a new position." Billups said.

"Hey, Chauncey is actually not a new position. We are two point guards. It's a tactic. We can make the opponent so headache that they want to hit the wall." Lin Sen looked at Billups and said with a smile.

Looking at the atmosphere in the physical training room, Stan Van Gundy was undoubtedly satisfied.This is also what he was worried about before. Although the team has a strong lineup, it is only on paper. A team needs to go through many tests to become a real strong team. One of them is the unity of the team. Then there is the running-in and anticipation of a good chemical reaction.

Without a united heart, it is obviously impossible to fight each other separately, but with a degree of unity, we can hope that a good run-in will produce a good chemical reaction. Sometimes 1+1 is not > 2 or even has a consequence of less than 2 or even less than 1 , But judging from the magic in training, such a situation undoubtedly does not exist.

But after all, training is training and there is a difference between real games. The entire coaching staff has been prepared to adapt and adjust to find chemical reactions throughout the preseason and even the beginning of the regular season.

On October 10th, at 15:8 pm, the Orlando Magic of the new season will usher in the first game of the preseason at their home court. Although it is only a preseason game, it cannot stop the crazy enthusiasm of the fans for the new Magic.

Tickets for the Water House Center are sold out, and the situation is almost the same as that of the Magic and the Lakers, Rockets and Celtics in the new season. You must know that in general, preseason games are often not held at the team's home court. One of the reasons That is, the preseason games will not attract many viewers.

In the new season, the Orlando Magic has the most live broadcasts in the United States with 34 games. Although Orlando is also a big city in the United States, it is completely incomparable with Los Angeles and New York, but it has won as many as 34 live broadcasts, which is enough to see how popular the Orlando Magic is. .

It is worth mentioning that the 34 national games are also stipulated by the NBA that a team can only get a maximum of 34 national games in a single season.

The Los Angeles Lakers, Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics ranked second to fourth respectively, reaching 30, 28 and 27.

The sum of the top four live broadcasts also created the most NBA live broadcasts in history, which is enough to see the expectations of major TV stations for this year's NBA.

However, there is no nationwide live broadcast of the preseason game. Only the local TV station in Orlando is responsible for the live broadcast. Fans in other places who want to watch the game can only watch it through the live broadcast of the Internet.

"Guys, are you ready? Although this is only a preseason game, your new season will start here, and you are ready to go on the court to receive the cheers that belong to you." Stan Van Gundy clapped his hands.

"Go! Go! Go!" Dwight Howard shouted with his arms raised, and was the first to run out of the locker room.

In the new season, Lin Sen is still the last to play, which is also a symbol of the team's status, while the team's second leader Howard is the first to play.

Standing in the player tunnel, Lin Sen looked at the dark tunnel entrance and was looking forward to a perfect ending to his new season journey.

Amid the boos of the audience, the New Jersey Nets players appeared on the stage. From the middle of last year's season to the present, the New Jersey Nets have been trading scandals.There was a time when Vince Carter was going to join the Magic.But in the end, the two parties failed to hold hands because of salary.

The New Jersey Nets have not only not increased their team strength, but they have lost Eddie House and Mickey Moore, two important team rotation players.Although the team still maintains that the Three Musketeers can make it to the playoffs, it has long since withdrawn from the ranks of truly strong teams.

When the Magic entered the court, they were greeted with wild applause from nearly [-] fans. Chauncey Billups, who was used to the madness of the Palace of Auburn Hills, also felt the different enthusiasm of Orlando fans and Detroit fans.

"New Jersey has a starting five of Nenad Kostic, Josh Boone, Richard Jefferson, Vince Carter, and Jason Kidd, which is the same as last season's first playoffs. The difference between the starting lineup we swept this round was just one Josh Boone.

Let's take a look at our starting lineup for the new season, oh, Dwight and Darko have become the new inside starting duo, Chris will contribute from the bench, and the starter on the front line is Ron instead of Sean , Chauncey and Wood are on the back line.What a luxurious lineup this is, I can almost foresee that this is an Orlando training game. "

The local Orlando radio commentator was completely one-sided.

beep!

With a whistle, Howard dialed the ball down without any suspense. After Linsen received the ball, the entire Magic team immediately moved.

However, there was no individual singles, but the most direct cooperation between players, almost all passing the ball with one hand. In the end, Billups directly hit a three-pointer after receiving a pass from Milicic.

"It's beautiful, it reminds me of a one-touch ball in soccer that ends up being a team goal, and it's definitely a team goal in Orlando, the ball just stays in everyone's hands for a moment .”

Compared with the Magic's teamwork, the New Jersey Nets still rely more on the Three Musketeers.But the inside line composed of Howard and Milicic blasted Krstic and Josh Boone from both offensive and defensive ends.

Vince Carter, who signed a five-year 5 million contract with the Nets, seemed to want to prove to the Magic fans how wrong it was that the Magic didn’t pay so much money to sign him. He scored two goals in a row at the beginning This made Artest's face dull.

Artest, who also wanted to show his new fans in good form, immediately became a beast.Vince Carter's offense was immediately limited.

With the help of Billups, Lin Sen is even more relaxed. The most satisfying thing for the coaching staff is undoubtedly the perfect connection between the first team and the second team. Billups played for almost 5 minutes in the first quarter. Artest moved to shooting guard, with Shane Battier at small forward.

两个顶级防守队员出场直接让篮网的卡特和杰弗森打的无比别扭，两人的防守加上内线的米利西奇和霍华德完全起到了1+1+1+1>4的效果。

In the 8th minute, Lin Sen was replaced by Billups, and Milicic was also replaced by Chris Webber. The defense of this lineup was a little worse than before, but the offensive end was not bad at all.

The coaching staff headed by Stan Van Gundy is very satisfied with the rotation of the team's first and second teams. Of course, they also know that this is just a preseason game, and the preseason game is training and formation. In the regular season, they may not be able to play as they are now. Good results.

The New Jersey Nets wanted to prove to their fans that the Nets were still competitive, but the reality was that they lost 35 points to a brand new but improved Magic at Waterhouse Center.

No one on the team played more than 23 minutes, all but Pippen and Rodman played and everyone scored and assisted.

Although this is only a preseason game, such an Orlando Magic undoubtedly made all the powerful players feel tremendous pressure, especially the terrifying thickness of the Magic lineup.

On the same day, the Los Angeles Lakers also beat the Denver Nuggets with 22 points in the offseason. Not only did they not strengthen, but the main point guard was signed by the Lakers.

Pau Gasol, Steve Blake, and Michael Pietrus also showed good performance. The Los Angeles media and the Orlando media are full of confidence in the new season, and the media of both sides even expressed their confidence in the new season. The war of words was brought to the battle between the two sides in the regular season.

However, the Orlando Magic players were leaving the United States. They boarded a flight to Taipei that night, and waiting for Lin Sen in Taipei was not just the game.

ps: I’m really busy today, unexpectedly, I said [-] words and I still need [-] words for everyone, so I will update [-] words tomorrow to express my sincerity. Give a ticket!
