This year, the league has a total of three Christmas fights scheduled.

Rockets vs. Lakers, Kings vs. Mavericks, Magic vs. Cavaliers.

What Ye Feng couldn't figure out the most was how a team like the Cavaliers could be qualified to play the Christmas War.

The Lakers have a fantasy F4, the Mavericks have 5 All-Stars, the Kings are the best-looking team to play in this era, and the Rockets have at least two All-Star starters.

Look at the Magic Battle Knights again, it is simply not at the same level as the two games, and it can't be on the table at all.

Magic's okay, at least they have a super-popular star, Tracy McGrady.

Prior to tonight, Maddy was the All-Star starter in the East for three consecutive years, won one scoring title, made the All-Star team three times, won one Most Improved Player and was named the best player of the month four times.

Coupled with her handsome appearance and elegant, inexplicable ball style, Maddie's popularity is very high.

So far this season, Maddy has averaged 25.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, 6 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.8 blocks per game, and has been on the rise, ranking second in the league after Iverson in the scoring list.

(Unlike the small-ball era, there was no NO Handcheck rule in place in 2003, and the defensive intensity was one of the strongest in the entire NBA, and it was hard for stars to score more than 25 points.) ）

(The 2003-2004 season was almost the most intense year in the last 30 years, with the team averaging just 93.4 points per game, just over the 91.58 points in the '98-99 season.)

The team is averaging a low 43.85 percent shooting percentage per game, just over the 43.73 percent in the '98-'99 season.

Considering that the 98-99 season is a shortened season, the schedule is very tight, the players are in poor condition, and they have been in a state of fatigue, there are objective factors, exclude.

Therefore, the 2003-2004 season was the strongest defensive year in the NBA in the past 30 years! ）

Judging from later generations, at the end of that season, Maddie was the only one in the league who averaged more than 25 points per game, which was the league's 28.0 points, and there were only 18 people in the league at that time who averaged more than 20+ points per game, including James and Anthony, two super rookies.

You can imagine how high the gold content of Maddie's scoring title is, and that was done in the era of the rarest points in the league.

In addition to this, Maddie's defensive ability is equally tough.

When he first entered the league, his role with the Raptors was that of a defensive spearhead. In the forward position, no one can take advantage of him.

However, after going to the Magic, Maddie took on more offensive tasks, and the energy on the defensive end became less and less, and the defensive awareness also declined significantly, and those suffocating defenses were almost invisible.

But in any case, Maddie in the magic period is the strongest Maddie, although he began to wither before he reached the peak, but he was far more brilliant than the average person.

As for the Rockets period, Maddie has been on the decline due to injuries, and it is far less unsolvable than the Magic period.

In fact, Maddie's worth does not need to be shown by data at all.

Jordan: The only guy who can make me willingly play as a substitute is called Maddie.

Howard: Before I got into the league, I only knew one person, the No. 1 player on the Rockets.

Olajuwon: I'm not qualified enough to judge Maddy, I'd better catch up with Jordan first.

Garnett: I might be able to defend Jordan, but let me defend Maddy, I'd rather get out.

Billups: Not to mention being Maddy's teammate, I'm already honored to be his fan.

Grant Hill: Compared to Maddy, Jordan and Kobe's talent can only stand aside.

Kobe: Enemy for life.

......

In that era of East Essico and South McUkka, Maddie's talent was much higher than the other three.

7 p.m.

Amway Center, City of Disney, Orlando.

Ye Feng was sitting in the locker room, his teammates were still chatting about gags, Ye Feng was dealing with it without a match, and his main focus was on the scouting report in his hand.

The Magic originally built the team with Maddie and Grant Hill as the duo.

One is the strongest Jordan heir after "Penny" Hardaway, and the other is a high school player with better talent than Jordan, and there is a lot of anticipation for the pair.

However, Grant Hill has been plagued by injuries and has only played in 47 games in his four seasons with Maddy, and this season is completely reimbursed, leaving Maddy alone.

So many people say that when Maddie was the strongest, he was pitted by Hill.

But if Hill can play, the duo is enough to make the whole league tremble.

Looking at the current lineup of the Magic team, except for Juwan Howard, there is no decent helper to be found.

Centre-forward: Andrew De Klerk, 30 years old, 208 cm, 104 kg.

He averaged 3.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 0.5 blocks per game this season, and at this level, only the Magic team can make him a starting center.

Power forward: Juwan Howard, 30 years old, 206 cm, 109 kg.

Once, Uncle Huo was the first player in NBA history to receive a contract of 100 million yuan, shocking the whole league.

Now his performance is acceptable, but he is definitely not worthy of the first 100 million yuan contract in history.

He is very versatile on the offensive end, and his mid-range shooting is getting more and more accurate because of hard work, but the defense is almost equal to zero.

Small forward: Gordon Girisek, 26 years old, 198 cm, 100 kg.

Very versatile on the offensive end, three-pointers, breakaways, pull-up jump shots, skilled and skilled, standard European players.

But resisting physical confrontation, the defense is very soft, almost ineffective.

Shooting guard: Tracy McGrady.

25 years old, 203 cm (205 cm visually), 101 kg, arm span 221 cm, running bounce 101 cm or more.

One of the four quarterbacks, the strength needs not be said.

Defender: Rod Strickland, 37, 191 cm, 84 kg.

If you push back 5 years, Strickland is also one of the best point guards in the league, and he can definitely become the most powerful help next to Maddy.

But now, it's not easy for him to continue to play as a starter.

In addition, the Magic also have Drew Gooden, Tyronn Lue, Bogans and other strong substitutes.

In addition, Ye Feng also saw the infamous Zaza Pachuria, who was also a rookie in 2003 and was drafted by the Magic, but now he basically has no playing time.

This year's No. 15 rookie Reece Gaines has not played well, averaging only 1.8 points, 1 rebound and 1.1 assists per game, shooting 30% from three-point range, and has been out of the Magic rotation.

This made Ye Feng sigh.

Ye Feng still remembers very well that during the summer league, this guy was second only to Wade and Prince, and received a lot of attention and coverage from the media.

In the summer league, this guy did not disappoint everyone, cut good statistics, and was selected to the best team.

But today, this guy can't even make the rotation in the Magic team.

Thinking of Reece Gaines, Ye Feng couldn't help but think of Nickerson, Brown, Cerfzick, and Campbell in the summer league...... I don't know what happened to them now.
