A superstar destined for a Hall of Fame is optimistic about a rookie who will become a Hall of Famer in the future, and that's not big news. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

But when Orlando kicked off March with another tough win over the Western West, all fans had reason to believe that the time had come for Orlando's revival.

From Shaquille O'Neal, the shark, to Penny Anfernee Hardaway, to Rael Armstrong, Grant Hill, Tracy McGrady, and other famous leaders in the history of magic. The last time the Magic entered the Finals was seven years ago, when the Magic reached the Finals again after 13 seasons under the leadership of Dwight Howard, but lost 1-4 to the Los Angeles Lakers in the Finals.

Last year, the Magic went 25-57 and finished 13th in the East.

But now, with 27 regular season games still to play, the Magic have won 30 games, a win rate of more than 50 percent, and are firmly in fifth place in the East.

All this, it is believed, was brought about by the young No. 1.

Although he can vaguely see the immaturity of youth, he will always look like an old player who has played for many years on the court. By the end of the game against the Mavericks, he averaged 22.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game, and his true shooting percentage was as high as 60 percent, even surpassing Curry, the league's current scoring champion.

Fans are starting to think about the Magic's playoff opponents, the Heat in third place or the Hawks in fourth place? This was unimaginably wonderful in previous years!

Li Dong is on fire again, and in the land of Orlando, he is being loved by more and more fans.

……

After the game against the Mavericks, there are two days to spare.

Li Dong saw that he had free time, so he decisively packed up his clothes, and then drove an SUV provided for him by the BMW company he endorsed and went to Gainesville.

He and Xing Jinwen were only separated for more than a day, but Li Dong couldn't help but go to find her.

The little couple is in a period of love, and it is inevitable that there is a little bit of glue-like meaning, and when he thinks of seeing his beloved again, Li Dong hummed proudly when he drove.

"Yes, yes baby, I'm on my way."

"Yes, I accidentally won the calf, you watched the game!"

"Okay, I'll drive carefully, you go to class first, I'll be here at noon. Uh-huh, love you......"

Driving in the early morning sunshine, Li Dong didn't look like he had just fought with someone, he looked like he was full of energy.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he dialed Joe Thomas's phone.

"Hey, man, you're exploiting working people! I ...... slot"

Thomas is in a very bad mood, although Li Dong is his top boss, you know, last night with that beautiful and hot Mexican beauty fought for a hundred rounds, where does he still have the strength now?

"Hey, Joe, I know you're having a hard time, but I'm already on my way to Gainesville right now."

Joe Thomas gave a hitch and asked weakly, "What are you doing in Gainesville?" Are you looking for that little girlfriend of yours again? Be temperate, young man! ”

Li Dong's face darkened, and he was choked speechless, although what he said was also correct.

"No, I mean to talk about the problem of investing in catering when you talked to me last time, didn't you say that you want to open a high-end Chinese restaurant in Orlando? It's like the Yao restaurant in Houston. ”

"Oh, that's good...... Wait, what do you say! Joe Thomas jumped out of bed with a surprised tone, "Are you referring to the last thing I proposed to you, God, boss, you're so wise!" ”

Li Dong laughed, and then continued to say his thoughts.

"It's not just the restaurant, you know, I'm a basketball player, and I've always been thinking about something special. Maybe you can combine basketball with a restaurant, maybe you can hang up my sticker......"

"Of course, of course!"

Joe Thomas was inspired, "Restaurants are just one aspect, even basketball-themed sportswear stores, or even basketball bars that specialize in NBA games for you...... Oh my God, you can go build a basketball kingdom! ”

Li Dong was embarrassed, frightened by Thomas's jumping thinking, but immediately, he reacted, thinking carefully about the possibility of Joe Thomas's words.

"But the top priority is to build a restaurant of your own, and I think with your popularity and everyone's love for Chinese food, business will be very hot." Joe Thomas changed his words and gave his advice.

"I also need a couple of authentic chefs, you know, Chinese food is complicated."

Joe Thomas nodded, he was sleepy and in good spirits, "Of course I understand this, actually, I'm already looking for a suitable candidate." ”

"There is also the choice of land, which can't be too remote." Li Dong said.

"Okay, don't worry, by the way, why don't you bring me some maple pulp for Gainesville?" Delicious and healthy. ”

Li Dong had a black line on his head, and said angrily, "No time, goodbye!" ”

……

The Magic's second game of March was a door-to-door challenge from the Chicago Bulls.

Since drafting Rose, the Bulls have been a regular on playoff teams.

But this season, the Bulls' record is not very good, and they are currently in ninth place in the East, and the position is awkward.

Therefore, the odds offered by the bookmaker for the home team to win are very low, and the handicap is as high as 8.5 points, which means that the bookmaker is basically optimistic that the home team will win the Bulls by double digits.

In this game, the Magic were very easy up and down, the Bulls' outside defense was almost zero, and there was originally a Jimmy Butler, but it was not activated because of injury, and now their big Gasol and Rose are worth paying attention to.

Not long after the warm-up on both sides, under the introduction of the DJ, they appeared on stage one by one, and after the referee came on the field, the starters of the two teams were officially released.

The Timberwolves started with point guard Derrick Rose, scoring guard Etowan Moore, small forward Mike Dunleavy, power forward Cameron Barstow, and center Pau Gasol.

And the Magic is still the same lineup. Point guard Brandon Jennings, scoring guard Oladipo, small forward Li Dong, power forward Aaron Gordon, and center Nikola Ucevic.

Dunleavy and Li Dong stood together, ready to tee off.

"I'm going to win you today, I promise." Dunleavy suddenly spoke and whispered.

Li Dong forgot Turner's glance in surprise, the latter raised his head, and stared at him with two eyes, Li Dong saw a kind of resentment, a kind of jealousy, a kind of anger, and a raging fire from his two eyes.

Dunleavy hated everything here, hated Li Dong.

"But it's not your mouth that decides the game."

Li Dong rushed to the other party's strong hostility and unceremoniously counterattacked......
