Chapter 132: He's the biggest discovery of the season
Darko has been getting better and better since he entered the Magic team, although there have been several games where the scoring and rebounding are not double-double, and the performance is sluggish, but the overall performance is very good, and in this game, Darko got 20+10 data for the first time, which stunned everyone.

Coach Sean and Coach Van Gundy attended a press conference after the game and both were full of praise for Darko.
Van Gundy:
"I don't know exactly what Darko is doing with the Pistons, but as his coach I can be sure that he is the biggest discovery of the Magic this season, 20+10, maybe it's not his limit, whether it's offense, defense, or making the team better, I believe he will do better, and all I can do is give him trust, give him encouragement, I believe he will surprise people."
Sean:
"I've heard Coach Nelson Sr. say that if he had the No. 1 pick in '03, he would have chosen Darko over LeBron, and now I feel more and more that Nelson Sr. is right, Darko is still very young, even if he has experienced any setbacks in the Pistons, it is not necessarily a bad thing, he still has a long future, and we will give him trust and encouragement."
Darko did a good job on both the offensive and defensive ends of this game, although it was said that Howard attracted firepower on the inside, but Darko's performance was really undoubted.
And in this case, the Magic traveled to Detroit to play the Pistons.
The media even added fuel to the fire to report Darko's performance and went to the Pistons teammates for interviews.
The head coach of the Pistons is now Sanders, the level of this coach is not necessarily very high, but it is very safe, there are no major changes to the Pistons' lineup, just patches have been made, and the previous tactics have been continued, so the Pistons' regular season record is better than before, creating a record for the Pistons.
Sanders was very low-key in the interview:
"Darko is a very talented player, it's a good thing that he can play his talent, and I wish him a better time with the Magic, and it's a shame that the Pistons' tactics don't suit him."
But after Sanders said this, TNT experts refuted it:
"Sanders is lying, because Darko's technical characteristics are suitable for any team's interior. Generally speaking, the team's interior line is divided into offensive and defensive types, and in the defensive type, it is divided into post guard and co-defense. Darko was originally an offensive interior and had a very poor defense, so Larry Brown didn't give him a chance to play, but after honing it, Darko's weight gained and he was qualified for both top defense and help defense. In the Magic team, he is mainly assisted in defense, supplemented by top defense, which is a bit similar to Duncan of the Spurs, of course, his strength is much worse than Duncan. ”
"The Pistons' top defense is Ben Wallace, and the assistant defense is Rasheed Wallace, and the work of these two people, no matter who Darko replaces, can be said to be competent, and it can even be said that the Pistons' offense will be better."
TNT's experts are not too big to see the excitement.
In fact, the Pistons' choice, while somewhat awkward, was the most normal one.
The combination of Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace is one offense and one defense, one top defense and one assistant defense, and the cooperation is very tacit, if Darko is replaced by either person, the effect is unlikely to be as good as when the two work together.
That's the most embarrassing thing, Darko isn't the best guy for the Pistons.
What's more, Sanders is just a new coach, who is qualified to change the team's starters, let Darko, a former scrap wood, start or play for a long time, Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace, who start, have to be furious.
The Pistons' coach chose to be calm, but the Pistons players weren't so cowardly.
Ben Wallace:
"Darko, it's good, he's finally a little bit less daring than a, it's a man's world, he should show his courage and hopefully he won't be so bad in tomorrow's game."
Rasheed Wallace:
"A lot of people have had a sudden outburst and get one or two good games, but that's not what he's really good at, and if Darko wants to show his quality in the league, it's easy to say that we're going to play against each other in the next game, and he can prove himself."
Neither Ben Wallace nor Rasheed Wallace had a bad attitude towards Darko, and even if they didn't talk about competition, their character flaws were huge.
The only positive one to say about Dakko was Chauncy Billups, and when he was with the Pistons, Dacko could only say a few words to Flounder Billups, and no one else was willing to deal with Darko, in large part because the two had similar experiences.
Flounder was also a high-ranking rookie when he first entered the league, but he wandered many teams and was not taken seriously at all.
Darko is worse than the Flounder, although he has been on the Pistons, he has few opportunities to play, and he was basically scrapped by the Pistons and Rally Brown.
After arriving in Detroit, the team had an intra-team practice, and at this time Larry Brown called Howard, Sean and Darko aside: "Darko, you haven't been doing very well for a while, but back to the Pistons, I think it's better for you to be a substitute, so that you can be less targeted." You have a lot of potential and are not in a hurry to choose this moment. ”
Van Gundy made it very clear, meaning to let Darko be a substitute and slowly cultivate.
If Darko plays in this game, Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace will most likely be targeted, and Darko will have a lot of difficulties. It's very bad for an interior player who is on the rise, so Van Gundy suggested that Darko be the backup.
"What do you two mean?"
Van Gundy didn't wait for Darko's answer, but asked Howard and Sean, the two people with the most voice in the team are Sean and Howard, and many tactical arrangements have to ask the opinions of the two people, otherwise there will be news that the team will not be in agreement.
Howard shrugged, "Whatever, I was just going to take on the two of them." ”
Sean was more insipid and glanced at Darko: "I want to hear Darko's opinion." ”
Dacomilisic lowered his head and didn't say anything, only when he heard this did he raise his head and look at Sean and the coach: "I listen to everyone." ”
Van Gundy nodded, but Sean directly interrupted Darko's words:
"Daco Milicic, you have to have a choice, but this year, it can be next year, there is no superstar in the NBA who will back down and face difficulties, Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace are very good, but you are not bad, if you want to break through, then you have to face those former teammates who look down on you, be brave in front of them to score a few goals and play with confidence."
"I won't dare to match because Jason Kidd, Steve Nash, Kobe, Chris Paul and others are great, even if I lose to them, I will still match them again until I blow them up."
