Hill smiled, still unhappy and sad, and said, "I also think we have to at least fight, and no one is optimistic about us anyway." No matter how miserable we lose, there is nothing missing, and if we win, we will really make a profit!"

The two of them were muttering quietly together, encouraging each other, and the mood was really good. But the others are different, and the heaviest mood at this time is head coach John Davis.

In his three seasons at the helm, this is the first time he has seen a win rate of more than 50 percent. This should have been something to celebrate, and anyone who has such a bad hand in their hands and can still play a family photo will be in a good mood.

But John Davis' ambitions don't stop there, and while leading the team to the playoffs sounds good, it's far from satisfying him. He felt that his stage should be bigger, such as leading the team to appear on the stage of the NBA Finals.

It's a pity that he doesn't have such a fate, and he doesn't have such strength. If history hadn't changed dramatically, he would have been swept away by the management in March 2005!

Because of Lamar's appearance, history has deviated greatly, and the Knicks, who should have started to degenerate, have now become a formidable powerhouse.

In the face of the strong New York Knicks, the only shots that John Davis can take are McGrady, the 'Jordan who didn't wake up', and Hill, a glass man who doesn't know when his knees will twist and often test his mental endurance.

If you have to pull out the big one among the short ones, the veteran Pat Garriti will also be worthy of a battle this season under his tutelage. It's just that Garrity's poor physical talent makes it difficult for him to guarantee whether he can stop the Twin Towers of the Knicks with beastly physique.

The deep resentment has made John Davis seem a little chattering recently, and from time to time he will look at the sky in a helpless manner, which makes people can't help but want to add a voiceover to him: "God, give me a Jordan!"

There is no one to use, and John Davis can't stand up to it even if he has great ambitions. Look at who he is, McGrady can be of great use if he can stay awake at all times, and Hill can really stay healthy, but what about these two people?

Veteran Darrell Armstrong can be trusted, but unfortunately no one knows how much oil the old guy still has in his body to use?

Garry Tieran has good strength and some outside projection ability, but he can only be considered a half-finished product at best.

As for the old guy Sean Kemp, if it weren't for the fact that there was no one to use, John Davis would have wanted to nail his ass to the bench and not let him roll over for the rest of his life.

Sean Kemp, the famous rain man back then, John Davis was angry when he thought of him. Others like Tony Seankemp, Bogans and the like, forget it.

In short, in a word, the Magic team is a tragedy, a complete tragedy. John Davis feels that even David Copperfield can't magically turn magic into Superman and defeat the upcoming New York gang!

It's not difficult to use such a hand to compete with the mighty Knicks!

The 2002-2003 NBA regular season came to an end, and after a short break, the playoffs were back in flames. For the sake of that supreme honor, all the heroes and powerful began to fight more tragically.

In the first Western quarter-game game, the Golden State Warriors gave people a glimpse of what it means to be barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes.

The Warriors, who are ranked eighth in the West, and the Warriors, who only relied on half a win to beat the Los Angeles Clippers to enter the playoffs, really lived up to their name as Warriors, and in the game against the powerful Los Angeles Lakers, they decided to fight almost from the first second after the game started.

The Los Angeles Lakers, who were already full of internal contradictions, were suddenly in chaos when facing the Warriors' struggle like mad dogs.

This game, which was originally considered by many experts to be no suspense, was completely reversed from the beginning, and the Warriors, who were on the weak side, actually suppressed the Lakers on the dominant side with crazy pressing.

At halftime, the Warriors unexpectedly led the Lakers by a full eight points.

Fortunately, in the second half, the Lakers woke up like a dream to Phil Jackson's roar, and began to fight with the Warriors with the offensive banner. Shaq O'Neal's back-to-back hits on the inside once tied the score, and then the Lakers, who had been fully opened, launched a bloody revenge under the leadership of Peter Pan Kobe.

In the face of the Lakers who were aggressive and vengeful, the Warriors also fearlessly launched a counterattack.

For a while, the sky was dark and the sun and moon were dark, and several Los Angeles fans who were not so strong in their hearts had to leave the stadium halfway. Phil Jackson changed his usual calmness, standing outside the bench and pulling his neck and shouting and screaming in the scene.

On the other side, the head coach of the Warriors, Gentry, brought his chaotic tactics into full play, making the team's rhythm chaotic to the point of incontinence.

At the end of the game, the Staples Center became the Warriors' final graveyard, and the Los Angeles Lakers won a thrilling victory over the little-known Warriors on their home turf.

No one expected that in the first game of the playoffs, these two teams would give the audience such a big surprise. The Los Angeles Lakers, who have just completed a three-game winning streak and have become a dynasty team after the Chicago Bulls, are now almost capsizing in the gutter under the little-known Golden State Warriors.

Fans don't care about that, they are naturally very willing to see this happen, and the more intense the game, the more interesting it is.

'We were obviously careless today, some players were terrible and although I don't want to name them, I think he should know what to do! At the post-game press conference, Los Angeles Lakers head coach Phil Jackson also had a rare tantrum.

Compared with Jackson, Gentry, who led the team to almost stage the Black Eight Miracle, seems to be in high spirits.

"This Los Angeles Lakers team is not the one I know at all, and it's clear that they've slackened after winning three consecutive championships! ”

"At the beginning, some people said that I was not good enough to coach a team that had been in the NBA, but what is happening now? I, the head coach who is not strong enough, led my Warriors to almost kill last season's defending champion, the Los Angeles Lakers!"

The Warriors-Lakers game seems to be much more than that.

It has at least given a glimmer of light in the darkness to teams that feel they have a bleak future. is like the Magic team that was depressed before and almost escaped.

"What they can do, we can do!" was the first thing Magic boss McGrady said in an interview with reporters before the Knicks game: "The Knicks are really strong, they have a lot of talented and good players. It's like Lamar, Alan Houston, Billups, Dampot, they're all some of the best players in the league today. But that doesn't mean we will give up, and we don't lack the courage to fight to the death!"

"No one knows what's going to happen until the red light comes on at the end, win or lose? We don't want to lose, so we're going to give it our all from the first second and we're sure we're going to surprise everybody. ”

Compared with the Golden State Warriors, the Orlando Magic do not lack the courage to die, but the New York Knicks are not the Los Angeles Lakers.

For the Knicks, who have been aiming for a championship since the beginning of the season, they will never allow the Los Angeles Lakers to have such a shame happen to them.

"I admire McGrady's courage, but that's about it. Lamar was quick to respond to McGrady's words: "Sometimes courage alone is not enough, on the pitch it is more about real skills. If they think they can win, let them come and see if they can take our cottage. ”

Probably because McGrady was the cousin of his good friend Vince Carter, Lamar had some love for this guy. So when accepting the reporter's imitation, he was more or less subtle, at least he didn't scold his mother directly.

Before the start of the game, in the visiting locker room at Madison Garden, the atmosphere inside the Orlando Magic team was quite solemn.

After John Davis had done his job, he stepped aside and handed over the stage to McGrady.

The position of team leader is no stranger to McGrady, after all, he has been fulfilling such responsibilities this season. When he was with the Toronto Raptors, he longed for that day.

Maddie rarely opened her sleepy eyes, and her sharp gaze swept over each teammate's body, and everyone who was swept unconsciously straightened her back, for fear that she would be brought up as a negative example - killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys.

"Guys, I think we can win tonight's game!" McGrady's first words were filled with confidence, he was such a person, full of excitement and energy all the time, and the emotions of hesitation and loss only appeared for a short time after he learned that he had been abandoned by the rockets.

"None of you should doubt what I say, remember! Everyone must remember that what I say is the truth, and if I say that we can win, we will definitely be the winners of this game! All of you, including me, must give your all when you come to the game, and I don't want to see anyone lazy. If you really feel tired, I think the coach will arrange a very comfortable chair for you on the sidelines. Victory! Victory! Only Victory!"
