The Magic have been ranked in the top four in the Eastern Conference this season, but the Heat have been catching up very strongly recently, not to mention the recent loss to the Knicks, but before that the Heat had won ten in a row, so the Magic's fourth position has long been in jeopardy.

It's impossible to guess how many places the Heat will eventually make, but most people think it should be okay to overtake the Magic, and the Celtics will have a hard time staying in front of the Heat, and the Miami are likely to finish third or fourth.

In this way, the Magic is very likely to face the Heat in the first round of the playoffs, and Carter's continued regression this season makes it difficult for the Magic's forward line to compete with the Heat and even the Celtics.

In mid-December, the Magic made two blockbuster deals with the Wizards and Suns, trading Lewis for Wizards guard Arenas, while in another deal for Carter, Gortat, Petrus plus a 2011 first-round pick and some cash, traded Turkoglou, Jason Richardson and Earl Clark from the Suns, with Turkoglou being a Magic veteran.

People say that "good horses don't eat grass", and the Magic actually traded the Turks back after a year and a half, which is undoubtedly an admission that their decision-making last year was a failure, and they delayed it for a year, you must know that the peak period of a team is actually very short, and one year is enough to affect a lot.

In 2009, the Magic reached the Finals under the leadership of Turkoglou, but after this climax, the Magic gave Turkoglu to the Raptors in order to get the Flyer Carter. However, after that deal, the Magic never reached the heights of the Turkoglu era, and Carter Sr.'s fusion with the Magic was very unsuccessful, and it turned out to be a failed deal. At the same time, Turkoglu also had a bad time after leaving the Magic, and due to his poor performance with the Raptors, the Raptors later gave him to the Suns in a trade. And the Magic have always regretted letting Tekoglu go, but they have never been able to make up their minds to spend their money on a pair of "regret pills".

The Knicks wanted to get involved in the Magic trade because they had a crush on the Polish Gortat, but in the three-way deal, the Knicks had to pay the price of Gallinari if they wanted to get Gortat, and in the end, the Knicks still felt that such a change was not cost-effective and did not agree to this three-way deal, and as a result, Gortat went to the Suns in the West.

The Magic's starting line-up today is completely different from when they played at the start of the season, with five starters: Nelson, Richardson, Turkoglou, Buss, Howard.

"In a recent trade, the Magic traded power forward Lewis for Wizards guard Arenas, and the remaining contract value of these two highly-paid players is basically equal, and the latter could fill Carter's position. One of the key points in the second trade was the return of playmaker Turkoglou, who had a very successful partnership with Howard earlier during his time with the Magic. The arrival of guard swingman Jason Richardson will further enhance the Magic's outside firepower, as he is averaging 19.3 points and 4.4 rebounds per game with the Suns this season while shooting 41.9 percent from three-point range. Clarke, on the other hand, was a rookie selected by the Suns with the 14th pick in the first round last year and can play small or power forward. ”

Mark Jackson added, "Richardson came to the Magic with similar problems to Carter, neither of them could have a good chemistry with Howard. Although Turkdrew has regained his position, we can see that the 30-year-old Turk is not as competitive as it was two years ago, although he can still contribute 12+5+5 after returning to the Magic, but his contribution to scoring has declined greatly. As for Arenas, any player and coach on his team would feel insecure. ”

In fact, his words are not finished, Arenas has no team to want now, let alone a team willing to give him a chance, even after the Magic trade, he is not willing to use him, except for his reduced athleticism after the injury, wiping his ass with dollars when he has nothing to do, and being his teammate insecure and worried about getting shot, it is more due to his rotten life during the suspension and recuperation.

It is very hard for athletes to maintain their physical condition, and it is okay when there is no injury, but once injured, even if the injured part is in unbearable pain, it is necessary to exercise the part that is not injured. The average football fan won't know the pain involved, but simply imagine the pain of going to work sick when you have a cold and being pointed out by your boss, and the training after an athlete's injury is much more uncomfortable than that.

But no one will force you to do this kind of training during the injury, so many players will be lazy during the recuperation period, and even use some DU products to alleviate the pain after the injury, and few people will train during the recuperation period like Yao Ming.

Arenas is even more excessive, not only did he drink uncontrollably during the injury, but he also rarely completed training on time during the ban in previous years, spending all day drinking with fox friends and dogs, but the injury did not cause him to lose too much talent, but his unbridled private life ruined his not top talent.

In the second half of the first quarter, Nelson was rested, Wu Huang remained on the court, and the Magic sent Arenas to play against him.

Wu Huang played Arenas once this year, and the former star point guard, who weighed 20 pounds heavier, couldn't handle his offense at all. It's the same today, Arenas' explosiveness, speed, strength, reflexes, coordination and other qualities are almost completely reduced by a notch.

Wu is familiar with this feeling, as was the case with his teammate Maddie last season, as well as with Iverson last year. He could feel that Arenas had a big problem with his body, but it was not that he was injured, but that he was weak, and the wine and the big horse had already hollowed out his body, and Wu Huang knew very well that if this Agent Zero continued to be decadent, he should not be able to play many games and would be reimbursed, just like countless similar examples, and quickly disappeared into this alliance.

This is a common occurrence in the NBA, where some players start to decline as soon as they turn 25 and disappear completely after the age of 28, because they indulge themselves after getting a big contract.

Before the average player is 25 years old, this is the best stage of physical fitness, some talented guys can even be good enough to live a life off the court, but back on the court can still play a good state, it can be said that more than 30% of the players in the NBA are like this, they are completely overdrawing their talent to play.

But this talent has an end after all, after the age of 25, no matter how good the body of the player is, he can no longer rely on talent to support, and must be maintained with more scientific training and regular off-field life, otherwise the rate of decline will be terrifying. But here's the problem, these players indulge themselves all year round, and it's not something that can be compensated for by trying to train well for a while, they need a long time to recuperate. But as long as you think that they have indulged themselves for so long, how can they suddenly be a good gentleman?

So in the first year or two when these people's physical fitness is just starting to decline, the data will drop significantly. Once they are over the age of 28, these players will give their opponents a feeling of weakness on the court, and their hollowed-out bodies will no longer be able to sustain themselves in the NBA, and the team will naturally use them.

This is the case with Arenas, at this time, his body is like a time bomb, he can collapse at any time, and soon he will not even be able to support the intensity of the CBA game and completely disappear from the eyes of fans.

Some people who can't play in the NBA come to China to play CBA, but they can't stand it for a long time and go back, the reason is that they are not used to Chinese food or homesickness, but the real reason is that it is difficult to buy big Ma in China, let alone drug pins, and they will be sentenced to prison if they are caught!

Wu Huang's opponent today Nixon is not too indulgent of his own players, but his various abilities have long been set, and they will only get worse and worse in the future, and will not become stronger, so the gap between him and Wu Huang will only get farther and farther. Just like this season, Wu Huang felt much easier when facing Nelson again. If he could have strengthened himself a little more and increased his weight to 195 to 200 pounds, no one in the entire league would be able to use his body against him at that time.

Wayne Hall once told Wu Huang that his skeleton should be enough to withstand 200 pounds of weight after insisting on stretching training, no matter how high it is, it is not impossible, but it will affect agility and speed, and will also increase the risk of injury.

The so-called skeleton is like the foundation of a building and the structure of a house, only the skeleton is good enough to carry more muscles, for example, James can gain more than 260 pounds, but Bosh can only maintain his weight below 240 pounds, this is the difference between the skeletons of the two.

Arenas used to rely on his excellent first move and confrontation ability to create shooting space, but now he has neither speed nor strength, and his body is close to 210 pounds, but he can't even eat the 190-pound Wu Huang, but he can't control the balance of his body when he breaks through, and he stumbles and is successfully broken by Wu Huang.

The balance of "Agent Zero" is also not good, and he can't stand on his feet after a confrontation, which is obviously caused by the lack of strength in the core muscle groups, and a large part of his body weakness is due to the lack of core strength, and the core strength needs to be exercised in a special time, Arenas is not even willing to do basic strength training, how can he spend time training the core muscle groups?

Wu Huang was thin and weak at the beginning, and his confrontation ability was not good, but his core strength was very strong, which allowed him to easily deal with NBA-level confrontations, but now Arenas is really no longer suitable for the NBA.

In 1 minute and 15 seconds of the first quarter, Wu Huang broke through Arenas with a change of direction, and the latter's footsteps were obviously vain, completely unable to keep up with Wu Huang's breakthrough rhythm, like a wooden stake, and Wu Huang could live as he wanted.

Wu Huang burst to the vicinity of the penalty area line and hit Howard's jump shot!

The score was 29:21, the Knicks led by 8 points before the first quarter was finished, and Wu Huang had contributed 10 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, and he was obviously the protagonist in this game.

"You'll never touch the floor of the finals." Wu Huang put a trash word at Howard after scoring the goal, and then dragged back.

Howard has not been off the court, but under the crazy top defense of Collins and Evans, the Monster seems to be struggling on the court, although he still stood on the free throw line 5 times in the first quarter, but only hit 3 shots, and the combined score of positional battles and sports battles is only two points, which makes his performance incomparable to Wu Huang.

The first quarter was a humiliation for Howard, as more and more teams were defending him with solid dwarf blue-collar players who were not trying to stop him from using his back-to-back footwork and hooks, on the contrary, everyone wanted Howard to end the offense with back-to-back shots and hooks, which were just meant to keep him from going deep into the basket and dunking.

Howard's hook hand has always been unstoppable, and although he has averaged a record number of points per game this season, his efficiency per 36 minutes has not improved but decreased, as he has become more and more difficult to get into the basket and dunk.

On the Knicks' side, D'Antoni used O'Neal a little differently than usual today, choosing to play the Big Sharks in rotation time, which is a typical rotation of fake starters, which is a bit insulting to O'Neal's rhythm.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 33:23, the Knicks led by ten points, and Wu Huang scored 12 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

In the second quarter, Wu Huang continued to play, he was not ready to rest today, which he took the initiative to ask for before the game, the reason is that he has not worked in bed since the 22nd, and he is full of energy at the moment, not to mention playing the whole game, even if he plays two more overtimes, it will be a piece of cake.

In the first quarter, Wu Huang was just warming up, and at the beginning of the second quarter, he used the cover of his teammates to hit two consecutive shots outside the three-point line, and his hand felt very hot.

Agary sat in the front row and cheered him on with the fans, more excited than she was when she watched her team play. Wu Huang on the court also secretly glanced at the Indian girl after scoring two three-pointers, and the cup should properly reach the D level, and if it develops well in the future, it may be able to have a chance to impact E.

Emperor Wu only learned yesterday that the original Indian girl was born in 93, which means that she is only 17 years old this year, and she is still a young girl who has not matured! Thinking of the feeling that he has never tried the D cup cup, today's Wu Huang has the heart to perform in front of the girl, so from the beginning he is running for a high score, and now that the feeling is slowly raised, of course he will not have the slightest hand.

Big Van Gundy scratched his head without a single hair on the sidelines, and then looked at the lineup on the bench after the trade, and really couldn't find a player who could make Wu Huang feel uncomfortable, and the best thing to do in this regard was Nelson, but in the face of today's aggressive Wu Huang, Nelson had no good way.

"Bag clip! Don't let him catch the ball! "Big Van Gundy said nonsense in a hurry, people are point guards, is it possible not to let the ball go?

The magic players on the field are all with black lines, and they really can't complete this order!

Howard only rested for less than two minutes in the second quarter, but what he could do after coming on the court was very limited, the restricted area was where he guarded, but Wu Huang always shot at medium and long distances, he could only watch his teammates be easily solved by Wu Huang using various positioning covers, but he couldn't do anything.

Today's Knicks' tactics are very simple, when Wu Huang is bursting, he only needs someone to block the defender for him and create a momentary shooting opportunity for him, Wu Huang can use these shots of less than a second to put the basketball into the basket with various shooting positions.

In the second quarter, Wu Huang made a total of 14 shots and hit 9 shots, 5 of which were three-pointers, plus 3 free throws, adding up to a total of 26 points, which is one point higher than the 25 points he just set in a single quarter against the Heat a few days ago, and he set a new single-quarter scoring record after two games!

The score was 70:50 in the first half, and the Knicks led the Magic by 20 points at halftime, which made Knicks fans unexpected.

"The Magic are not what we envisioned." Wu Huang scored 38 points in the first half, and in an interview with Miller's sister at halftime, his tone sounded salty and light, but it was very venomous, coupled with a small expression of serious contempt for the opponent, which was enough for the whole Magic team to greet his ancestors at halftime.
