Chapter 245 I will end my career here!!

Replacing Sean Kemp was Drew Gooden, who broke his front tooth by a basketball in the first game.

Gooden’s mouth was obviously swollen, he also belonged to the game with injuries, and the Magic really had no inside line available.

The game went on, and Sean Kemp’s injury retirement had an impact on the Magic, especially the interior players.

Drew Gooden did not dare to defend Jiangpan, for fear of another injury.

This made Jiang Pan more comfortable on the inside, and in the following rounds, Jiang Pan’s score was as simple as drinking water, and gradually helped the team to establish a certain advantage.

At the end of the first quarter, the Philadelphia 76ers, who played on the road, took a seven-point lead.

After the start of the second quarter, the AJ group began to take turns, but Maddie’s form began to show a downward trend.

Under this trade-off, the 76ers quickly stretched the difference to double ~ digits.

As the game progressed, the Magic gradually felt fatigued, and the offensive end was all supported by Maddie alone.

As for Grant Hill, once known as Jordan’s successor, he has long lost his former style.

Now he is a complete burden on the court, moving slowly and completely unable to keep up with the pace of the playoffs.

In the first half, the 76ers had extended their lead to 18 points.

At halftime, there was silence in the Magic’s locker room, and soon after, news came backstage.

‘Rain Man’ Sean Kemp fractured his knee and announced season reimbursement.

This is the Magic’s second player to be reimbursed this season after Garretti, and this series is a nightmare for them.

The morale of the Magic team was also greatly damaged, which made them, who were already behind, even more unwilling to fight.

After the start of the second half, the Magic went straight into a crash.

Looking at the score difference that was constantly being pulled apart on the scorer, Tracy McGrady was very unwilling, and he wanted to fight again.

But with the consumption of physical energy, his condition has seriously declined, and the taking turns of Artest and Bruce Bowen have made his scoring extremely difficult.

Entering the final quarter of the game, the 28-point difference announced that the Magic were no longer able to recover.

Maddie sat on the bench with a blank look, waiting for the game to end.

In the end, nothing miraculed in the game, and the Orlando Magic, who returned home, lost the game again by a big margin.

The Philadelphia 76ers got their point in the first round of the playoffs, and if they win one more game, they can advance to the second round with their heads held high.

Two days later, the fourth game between the Philadelphia 76ers and Orlando Magic began.

Compared to the last game, the Magic’s home stadium has a lot fewer fans, and the attendance rate is only about 60%.

It can be seen that Magic fans have been disappointed with their performance to the extreme.

After the game began, the fans’ emotions were somewhat silent, and even though the Magic scored some brilliant offense, there was not much cheering.

“IMHO, such a home is no longer a home.”

“These fans are now more like a crowd of melons, as if they are not watching the home team at all, it doesn’t matter to them whether they win or lose.”

“If I were Tracy, I would see these fans break down.”

At the commentary table, Kenny Smith said leisurely.

“It’s not a shame for the fans, put it in another way, if the fans you support play like this, you will definitely be disappointed.”

Barkley thinks it’s just a normal reaction from fans.

The game had just begun, and many media editors were already writing about the Philadelphia 76ers entering the second round.

They want to release it as soon as possible after the game to grab the heat. Apparently, in their opinion, the Magic had no chance of winning.

On the court, Jiang Pan is still invincible, and Iverson has also played well.

On the Magic side, Maddie turned into a lone hero and was still tenaciously supporting the game.

But the gap in strength between the two sides is too big, and despite Maddie’s best efforts, she can only helplessly watch the growing difference.

After the first half of the game, some fans on the scene chose to leave the stadium early, which made the already low attendance of the stadium even more deserted.

Kenny Smith took a rough look, and only about 50% of the fans were left on the scene.

By the end of the third quarter, only 30% of the fans remained.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the fans continued to leave the court, because the game had completely lost its suspense.

Even the referee did not bother to blow the foul, as long as it was not too obvious foul, the referee chose to ignore it.

A few minutes later, the final whistle blew to announce the end of the series.

Ironically, the number of fans at this time was probably less than 10%.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen a situation like this, and I think it’s time for the Magic management to reflect and stop wasting Tracy’s talent.”

Kenny Smith immediately sighed.

In the game, Jiang Pan cut 65 points, 30 rebounds, and 12 blocks, leading the 76ers to become the first team to enter the second round.

After the game, Maddie and Jiang Pan hugged each other.

“Jiang, congratulations.”

Maddie didn’t say much, only simple congratulations, and as an opponent, he was completely impressed by Jiang Pan’s stunning performance.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Maddie came to Iverson.

“I really envy you for having a teammate like Jiang, it’s not that my ability is inferior to you, but.”

Maddie didn’t continue, but Iverson already understood what he meant.

He nodded, and then gently patted Maddie’s arm: “Come back next season, I am waiting for your challenge at any time!” ”

Hearing this, Maddie also took a deep breath: “Next season, I will beat you!” ”

Moments later, T,NT reporters also interviewed the Philadelphia 76ers players.

“Jiang! Congratulations on reaching the second round with a sweeping attitude. ”

“You’re one step closer to defending your championship.”

“And your second-round opponents will be between the Pacers and the Hornets, so which one do you personally prefer?”

Jiang Pan shrugged his shoulders and replied indifferently: “I’m not a picky eater, no matter who my opponent is, I will defeat him!” ”

Half an hour later, the Magic gave their final post-game press conference of the season.

At the press conference, Tracy McGrady still shed tears, he recalled his career, to this day, still not successful.

And Sean Kemp, who retired due to injury, also came to the press conference with the help of his teammates.

He waited quietly for Maddie to finish speaking, and then he got up and announced in front of all the media: “I will end my career here.” ”

‘Rain Man’ Sean Kemp looked more relieved, his career was not complete, but it was exciting!
