Chapter 92: A Different Team (Part I)
DeSean Stevenson and Grant Hill's popularity is two levels, but there is one peculiar thing in common, that is, when the two first entered the league, the template was Jordan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info That's right, the template is Jordan.
But now one player has a bad reputation as a role player, and another player has become a burden to the team because of an injury.
As for Kenyandurin, he is a panacea for excellent defense, but there is nothing outstanding other than defense.
Of course, the other burden is Hardaway, but Hardaway is not silent at all. Everyone seems to have acquiesced to the fact that the Magic traded Hardaway back, not for anything in remembrance, but for Hardaway's junk contract and trading the Knicks' Ariza to the Hawks to trade Shaun Lee. For this, the Eagles also lost Francis.
On the inside, locker room leader Bootero is basically unable to play, and is more waving towels and cheering on his teammates.
The only players who can use it are Howard and another newcomer, Daco Milicic, and as for how far this parallel player can play, only God knows, anyway, everyone thinks that Dako is just an add-on.
Also as a role model, when Sean Lee entered the team, the coach and manager stood left and right, and everyone on the team did not dare to provoke, but Darko entered the Magic team and got a different treatment.
The Magic's lineup is actually miserable.
It's no wonder that the media says this about the Magic: they trade the present for the future.
In all positions, the team's players seem to be weaker.
After a little familiarity with the team, the players themselves began to hold their own team training matches, because the players themselves conducted, so the defensive intensity is not large, but mainly to get acquainted with each other.
But in this game, Sean felt that the strength of the team was not so weak.
First, the team doesn't have as many things as the Eagles. Howard, the boss of the team, is a child, the leader of the team is Boaotero, and the second leader is Pat Garriti, who Pat is, it is estimated that no one knows.
The guy who has been with the Magic since his second year in the league has been in the league for more than a decade, and Pat is ready to retire in the past few years, and the only reason to stay with the Magic is that the manager asks Pat to stay a few more years to show the way for the team's rookies.
Otero is the vice president of the League Players Guild, and his prestige is very high, although he is not a star, but he is the leader of the team, while Pat is the real anchor of the team, even if Howard faces Pat, he has to bring a respectful attitude.
That's what qualifications are.
The core boss is a big child, and the two team leaders can't play the ball, so they don't have to worry about the ball problem, so there are not so many problems in the team, Sean played the team game for the first time, and most of the ball is in Sean's hands.
No one grabbed it, and no one reached out to ask for it.
It feels ...... Refreshing!
Sean's first ball was a solo shot by Royo.
This is a subconscious behavior, Carroyo is a 3D player, although the defense is not as good as Jamil Nelson, but the strength is good, but in point guard, Sean's height is equivalent to Nowitzki, and he hits a three-point shot directly against the position.
There is nothing to be done on the other side.
Sean has been practicing three-point shooting hard, and there are only two of Sean's most famous places this season, one is a three-point shot, the other is a pass, and the point guard who is more than one meter eight is misplaced, Sean has so many balls, don't be too happy to throw it.
After making a few three-point shots, Sean stopped shooting at random and shifted his focus to assists.
The lineup for the team practice was immediately assigned, with Sean being team-mates Stevenson, Pat, Howard and Hardaway, and opposite Arroyo, Darko, Steciogmen, Otlow, Kenyon Doolin and Grant Hill.
Sean's teammates are not famous, but they are not weak.
Because it was an intra-squad training, Stevenson had relaxed his defense, but ...... The defense is still very hard, which scared Sean, and he can't help it, Stevenson's three-point shot is also very level, and he rushes up very fiercely, and when Sean is looking for cover, Stevenson never refuses. This is a completely different experience from the Hawks, although Pat is a veteran who is about to retire, and his defense is a little miserable, but his mid-range shooting is still accurate, and even the three-point shot is ranked first in the Magic team.
Also on the inside, Pat's shooting made Howard envious.
Of course, the most surprising thing for Sean is Howard, with Howard here, even if the outside line is broken through by the opponent, the problem is not so big, Howard's defense is too strong, almost one person builds the defense of the inside line.
The only thing that disappointed Sean was Hardaway, who was now incredibly slow after the injury, with nothing but shooting, and listless even playing. Even if it weren't for the lack of people in the team, Hardaway might not be able to show up on the training ground.
On the other side, the strength of the others was also beyond Sean's expectations.
Arroyo as a point guard, the strength is good, maybe the only drawback is that it is too sticky to the ball, most of the time, the other side is Arroyo sticky ball does not pass, people are anxious, the opposite position played for a while, Sean knows why Arroyo is not popular, the point guard holds the ball and does not pass, what the hell is this.
Grant Hill was very protective of himself after the injury, and rarely made any dangerous moves, but he was very good at passing and timing his shots, and he was very experienced in handling the ball.
The biggest surprise, of course, was Daco Milicic.
This parallel list of eyes in the team training performance is more eye-catching, the defensive strength is good, although not very outstanding, but it is already above the league level, on the offensive end, there is still a very stable mid-range shot.
It is rumored that when Darko was drafted, he could dribble on the outside, or attack the basket with a sharp breakthrough, and at the same time, he could also pass the ball and shoot three-pointers, which can be called all-round.
That's why Coach Sloan risked being banned by traveling to Europe to watch him play, and then said that if he got the No. 1 pick, he would definitely not choose LeBron James, but Darko.
More than two years have passed, and although Dakko is not as strong as rumored, his performance is not so bad.
He can shoot from the floor, his defense is good, and his rebounding and passing seem to be on the league-level line, so he has an inside line...... That's pretty good.
The training matches weren't intense, but the performance was still gratifying.
After a simple game, Pat invites everyone out for a family buffet.
Pat has been on the Magic team for more than ten years and has long made his home in Orlando, so he said so, and the Magic team, whether it was the core, the main team or the substitutes who had no chance to play, went to Pat's house for a buffet. Fruit, juice, grilled meat based buffet.
