Legendary star

Chapter 221 The Tragic Magic

After entering December, the Spurs' schedule is a little easier. In the 12 games this month, except for the Lakers, Knicks and Pacers, the rest of the opponents are basically the Grizzlies, Hornets, Bulls, and Rockets. , Cavaliers, Warriors, and Magic are big teams, and it is rare for the Spurs to have no back-to-back games this month.

Therefore, under such circumstances, on December 12, the Spurs beat the Grizzlies 1 to 103 at home. In this game, the Grizzlies' head star, Sherif Abdul, who was called the league's fifth power forward by the media -Rahim, this game was blasted by Duncan very badly. He made 89 of 20 shots in the game and scored 6 points and 16 rebounds. Duncan scored 11+ for the first time this season and scored 30 points in the game. Made 20 shots, 14 of 2 free throws, scored 2 points, 30 rebounds, and 12 assists.At the same time, this game faced Mike Bibby, who is known as the leader of the league's young point guards. Meng Xu once again scored 5 points, 16 rebounds, 10 assists, and a triple-double. In addition, he also had 12 steals. .

Then on November 11, the Spurs defeated the Warriors 3-105. In this game, 87 players from the Spurs team scored in double figures. Meng Xu scored another 6 points, 12 rebounds, and 9 assists. Except for Antawn Jamison, who scored 8 points, all the other players of the Warriors in China were out of order. Mark Jackson made 3 of 20 shots, Larry Hughes made 16 of 4 shots, and Bob Sue made 16 of 5 shots. Lara made 14 of 4 shots. After losing this game, 4 wins and 9 losses, the Warriors this season will continue to hover in the lottery zone.

On November 11th, the Spurs played against the Rockets that lost Olajuwon. In the end, the Spurs easily defeated the Rockets 5 to 96. Originally, the Rockets wanted to trade Olajuwon to let Francis and Mobley quickly take the position, but After losing the team's banner and inside pillars for more than 79 years, the Rockets quickly fell into a quagmire. Francis and Mobley, who are still in the second and third grades this year, really lack the experience of leading the team alone. In the 10 or so games of the season, the Rockets often rushed in the first half and then were reversed in the second half. The current 2 wins and 3 losses of the Rockets, if they continue to maintain this state, then it will be a historic two consecutive years. Missed the playoffs.

And after winning 3 consecutive victories, the discussion about Meng Xu's data collection has also temporarily disappeared. In the NBA, the unspoken rules about data collection are whether the team can win and whether they can win the championship.As long as you can lead the team to victory and at the same time play beautiful data, then you are the MVP and you are a historical superstar.On the contrary, even if your data flies out of the sky, it will only be considered a cancer, a data brush.

When the Spurs beat the Grizzlies, Warriors and Rockets at home, the Spurs will set off for the East again. In this round of the road trip, the Spurs will play against the Magic, Knicks, and Cavaliers.

On December 2000, 12, when the Spurs team arrived in Orlando, many Magic fans came to pick them up. I don’t know who leaked the news. Duncan deliberately wasted the Magic’s feelings this summer. It was revealed that Magic fans were still cursing those stupid management for losing Duncan and the best power forward in history because of a plane ticket, but when this matter was revealed, Magic fans Their spearheads were immediately aimed at Duncan, so when the Spurs team just walked out of the airport today, a large number of Magic fans held a lot of banners full of inappropriate content and cursed Duncan at the same time.

Duncan, who was still chatting and laughing with his teammates, immediately lowered his face after seeing these banners, took out his earphones and stuffed them into his ears, and walked onto the bus without saying a word. After seeing Duncan's expression, the Spurs players who were chatting happily just now also looked at each other in blank dismay. At this time, Meng Xu, who was following Duncan, also had some other thoughts.

If Duncan has O'Neal's personality, then the Magic will definitely suffer in this game. I'm sorry if you don't score 50+60+, but Duncan has the opposite personality to O'Neal. Angry and very upset, but Duncan would not do anything that would damage the team, let alone play crazy singles in the evening game on impulse.

The Magic this season is also very sad. Originally, for this summer full of big fish, the Magic prepared two seasons in advance. In order to make enough salary space, even the head player Anfernee Hardaway dealt with it cheaply.When Duncan and Hill visited Orlando at the same time this summer, Magic fans began to imagine that Duncan and Hill formed the strongest combination in history, but in the end because of a ticket problem, Duncan left Orlando angrily and chose Renew the contract with the Spurs.After losing Duncan, the Magic signed Hill and Tracy McGrady consecutively to form the league's strongest backcourt combination, but God failed. Grant Hill only played 4 games and was reimbursed for the season.

Magic fans who were still thinking about the championship at the beginning of the season suddenly realized that this year's Magic will still be struggling for a ticket to the playoffs as in previous years.After the previous 15 games, the Magic ranked fourth from the bottom in the East with a record of 6 wins and 9 losses. Not to mention the championship, it is a high profile to enter the playoffs.It is precisely because of this that angry Magic fans need a suitable channel and target to vent. In the past, the object of venting and cursing was the stupid management of Magic, but now it has become Tim Duncan, and now Magic fans are unanimous It is believed that Duncan deceived their feelings.

"You guys, get ready to bear my anger." When Meng Xu was the first to walk out of the tunnel, the Spurs players were greeted with boos all over the sky, especially after Duncan played, the entire Water House Center Arena There were all kinds of unscrupulous abuse, and the scene where countless fans raised their middle fingers made Meng Xu immediately angry.

"Although Grant Hill is unable to play due to injury, it is not easy for the Spurs to win this game." As a qualified commentator, talking nonsense with open eyes is a necessary skill for Michaels, although the Magic is now one, It's a big belly to be slaughtered, but this is also the home of the Magic. In a game that is broadcast live across the United States, there is no suspense, but a little suspense must be artificially created, so as to attract more viewers.Since the Magic signed Grant Hill, the most popular player in the league this season, and the current star Tracy McGrady, which is currently promoted by the league, the Magic's national live broadcast games are also in the first echelon this season, with a total of more than 30 games.

"Well, yes, this season Tracy has performed very well after switching to the 2nd position. In the previous 15 games, 10 games scored 30+. Now Tracy is already the best in the league. One of the good 2 positions, and after Grant recovers from his injury, this Magic will be even stronger." McGrady and Hill's talent is unquestionable, which is why Magic Johnson is so confident in this Magic.

"The Magic's interior is really bad." When the Magic's starting center Michael Doriak lost to the old David Robinson at the jump ball, Michaels also shook his head, because both McGrady and Hill Signed the maximum salary, so the Magic naturally does not have much salary space to sign some powerful players. Therefore, in this Magic team, apart from McGrady and Hill, there are very few talented players. At present, the two insiders of the Magic are all blue-collar, and they are still relatively poor. Not to mention Duncan, even David Robinson is enough to blow them up.

The Spurs' starting lineup for this game is center David Robinson, power forward Tim Duncan, small forward Malik Rose, shooting guard Mario Eli, and point guard Meng Xu.In this round of the road trip, Sean Elliott took a glorious rest again. This time Popovich claimed that Sean Elliott had food poisoning. Not long after Meng Xu had food poisoning last time, the Spurs Player food poisoning appeared again, and now the nutritionists and chefs of the Spurs club have become the focus of the league.

The Magic's starting center is Michael Doriak, power forward John Amich, small forward Pat Garrity, shooting guard Tracy McGrady and point guard Darrell Armstrong.Originally, McGrady came to the Magic to assist Hill as the second head, but now McGrady has become the core and boss of the Magic.

"Meng, you've been very high-profile lately." After Meng Xu dribbled the ball past the center line, McGrady, the Magic's current star, came to defend Meng Xu in person. The Magic's main point guard, Darrell Armstrong, was only 1 meter tall. In his early 8s, let him defend Meng Xu alone, and Meng Xu will definitely use his height to play to death, so the head coach of the Magic, Doug Rivers, also arranged for McGrady to defend Meng Xu himself.

"Tracy, I am far behind you. You are now the best point guard in the league." Although the recent discussion about Meng Xu's statistics has been very intense, compared with the "four shooting guards" who are building momentum in the league, , Is swiping the data a thing?In the two games of this year's Christmas game, the Magic vs. Raptors, and the Lakers vs. 76ers, Tracy McGrady, Carter, Kobe, and Iverson in these four teams are basically considered to be the last candidates. The teams of these four players are on the stage of the Christmas game. It can also be seen from this that the top management of the league has spent a lot of money in order to create momentum for the "four shooting guards".

　Thank you for the monthly pass of the dull boy, thank you
