[Ran^Text^Library] The Orlando Magic joined the NBA in the 1989-1990 season, bringing in O'Neal and Penny Hardaway to become a title contender in a short period of time. After the two left lwxs520.com the Magic fell into a slump, and even talented players like McGrady and Grant Hill couldn't pull the Magic out of the quagmire and eventually left in disgrace. Now Howard is at the heart of them, and this year, with the introduction of Carter, is the ideal time for them to win the championship. But now the team has fallen to the bottom of the East, Howard has gone to the Rockets, and the team is starting to rebuild.

After Guo Feng heard this, he knew that this was a great opportunity for him, and the reconstituted team could have a better chance of performance, which was different from Liu Rong's situation, and under the leadership of the staff, they came to the historical and cultural corridor of the magic team. The staff began to tell the story of Orlando.

The Orlando Magic, founded in 1989 and joined the NBA, is an NBA professional basketball team based in Orlando, Florida, USA, and is part of the Southeast Division of the Eastern Conference of the United States Men's Basketball Professional League. The Magic joined the NBA in the 1989-1990 season and became a strong contender for the title in just a short period of time. When did the Magic bring in center Shaquille in 1992? After O'Neal, the team's competitiveness increased dramatically, becoming one of the most popular teams in the league.

The Magic are one of the NBA's newest teams, having only joined the NBA Major League in 1989. Because Disney World Park is a major leisure and entertainment venue in Orlando, and playing magic is a favorite phrase in Orlando, the Magic team got its name. The team called for team names on a large scale that year, and in the end only two names remained, "Magic" and "Juice". In the end, local activists chose the former, because the word "magic" has a different meaning to Orlando. Disneyland has a magic kingdom in it, and the team's tourism slogan is to come to Magic City.

I'm going to talk about the Magic in '86-'92: Jim, a local Orlando developer and banker? Hewitt spent nearly four years bringing an NBA team to his hometown: bringing then-76ers general manager Pat Brown? Williams dug into Florida, where he immediately began selling T-shirts, ball caps and other merchandise emblazoned with Orlando's magic on them — even persuading locals to book future season tickets for $100. The efforts of the two men paid off, and the NBA was impressed by the great enthusiasm shown by basketball fans living in Central Florida. On July 2, 1986, Hewitt's Magic team paid $100,000 to become one of five candidates for NBA expansion. A year later, on April 22, 1987, the NBA Board of Directors formally voted to approve the membership requests of four of the teams: the Charlotte Hornets and Miami Heat entered the league first in 1988-89, while the Orlando Magic and Minnesota Timberwolves joined the following season, in 1989-90, each of which had to pay $32.5 million in licensing fees. The Magic selected a total of 12 players in the 1989 expansion draft, including Reggie Brown. Hius, Scott? Skyles, Terry? Catleitch, Sam? Vincent, Otis? Smith and Jerry? Reynolds. Subsequently, the Magic used their 11th pick in the official NBA draft to select Nick Brown, a guard swingman from the University of Illinois. Anderson. Appointed Matt? Goukos became the team's first head coach. In the 1989-90 season, the Magic's debut season as an NBA newcomer didn't start as unpopular as one might expect. On November 4, 1989, in a packed Orlando Coliseum, the Magic began their first NBA game. Terry? Cartleitch, Jerry? Reynolds, Dave? Korzin, Reggie? Sius and Sam? Vincent formed the first starting lineup in the history of the Magic. The Magic had one of the league's most offensive firepower in their debut season (110.9 per game and ranked fifth), but poor defense (conceded 119.8 points per game and bottom-of-the-league team) held the team back, resulting in an 18-64 record. The team's poor record did not dampen the enthusiasm of the fans, with Orlando home tickets sold out for 33 consecutive games and an average attendance of 15,000 over the season. In the 1990 draft, the Magic used the No. 4 pick to select Georgia Tech's god pitcher Dennis? Scott, further strengthen the Magic's offensive firepower. In the 1990-91 season, the Magic made considerable improvements, nearly doubling their win percentage compared to 1989-90 (31-51). The 1990-91 season didn't start off well, but as the season progressed, the team gradually played the basketball that Coach Gukos wanted to do. In February, the Magic went 8-3, the first time the team had won more than 50 percent in a month, and the team's overall record in the final three months of the season was 20-18. After a six-game losing streak and an 11-33 record so far in January, the team's style of play began to shift towards team basketball and it worked well. On the player side: Scott? Skels had the best season of his career, scoring a team-high 17.2 points and 8.4 assists, and finishing the season with the NBA's Most Improved Player award. Scott set a team record for 125 three-pointers in a single season and an NBA rookie. In the 1991-92 season, the Magic had a record of just 21 wins and 61 losses, and there was not a month in which the winning percentage exceeded 50 percent. Injuries are a big reason for the decline in results, and the team's main player Dennis? Scott has only played in 18 games due to injury, and Nick? Anderson has also been on the sidelines for 22 consecutive games. On the player side, Nick? Anderson averaged 19.9 points per game in 60 games, while Scott averaged 19.9 points in just 18 appearances. Cartleich and Skells are the team's rebounding leaders (7.0) and assists (7.3), respectively.

Then came the '92-00 season: In the 1992 draft, the Magic selected Shaquille, a talented center from Louisiana who was 7-foot-1 and weighed 301 pounds. O'neill. Since O'Neal joined the Magic, the team has started to move in a good direction. Dennis? Scott, Terry? Cartleitch, Scott? Skyles, Nick? Anderson vs. Instead of Greg? Kate's Shaquille as the starting center? O'Neill formed the team's new starting line-up. By the end of the 1992-93 season, the Magic had improved their record by a full twenty games from 1991-92, making them the league's most improved team that season. In the end, the Magic ended their most successful season with a victory over the Hawks (fourth in the Atlantic Division), only to be squeezed out of the playoffs by Indiana. The team's poor road record was a major factor in missing the playoffs, with a 14-27 road record in stark contrast to a 27-14 home record. On the player side: O'Neal, the team's leading scorer, averaged 23.4 points per game, scored 1,893 points per game, and shot 56.2 percent from the field (13.9 rebounds and 3.53 blocks per game), making him the only player in the league to rank in the top 10 in points (8th), rebounds (2nd), blocks (2nd) and shooting percentage (4th). Nick? Anderson became O'Neal's helper, averaging 19.9 points per game and a career-high in almost all of his technical stats. Dennis? Scott and Scott? Skels also averages 15+ points per game. Skels remains an efficient playmaker, diching out a career-high 735 assists in one season (9.4 per game, third in the league). In the 1993 draft, the Orlando Magic used their first draft pick to make their biggest draft-day trade: Chris of the University of Michigan at the time. Webb was recognized as the best choice at the time, but the Magic, who already had O'Neal, were against Memphis guard "Penny" Anfernee? Hardaway was more interested. So immediately after the Magic drafted Webb, they traded with the Warriors who drafted Hardaway. In the 1993-94 season, the Magic team unexpectedly exploded, and the team not only broke into the playoffs with 50 wins, but Shaquille? O'Neill and Anferne? Hardaway's presence has made the Magic one of the most attractive teams in professional sports. The Magic went 27-20 before the All-Star break and 23-12 after All-Star Weekend to finish the Atlantic Division in second place, but fell in the first round to the Pacers, the dark horse of the year's playoffs, who made it all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals. In the 1994-95 season, the Orlando Magic became the leader of the East with a 57-25 record, and defeated the Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls and Indiana Pacers in the playoffs to reach the Finals. But the Magic, who were stepping foot in the Finals for the first time, were eventually defeated by the experienced defending champion Houston Rockets with a 4-0 overall score. In this season, Shaquille? O'Neill vs. Anferne? Hardaway formed the Magic's talented, enviable duo. In the third year of his career, O'Neal finally won the NBA's regular season scoring title (29.3), along with the league's third-highest rebounds (11.4), second-highest shooting percentage (58.3%), and sixth-best blocks (2.43), and was named to the NBA's second-best team. In the 1995-96 season, by Shaquille? O'Neill, Horace? Grant, Nick? Anderson, Dennis? Scott and Anferne? Hardaway's Magic, who formed the starting five, proved that reaching the Finals in 1994-95 was no fluke. The Magic won 60 games in the regular season and won the Atlantic Division championship. In the playoffs, the Orlando Magic eliminated the Detroit Pistons and the Atlanta Hawks in a row to reach the Eastern Conference Finals, and their opponents were the Chicago Bulls, who were in the limelight that year. The Magic were eventually eliminated by the Bulls with a 0-4 overall score. On the player side: O'Neal missed the first 22 games of the season with a thumb injury, but the Magic still have a good 17-5 record under Hardaway. Hardaway himself was voted the league's Player of the Month for November. O'Neal ended the regular season with 26.6 points per game (third in the league), 57.3 percent shooting (third) and 2.13 blocks (ninth). Hardaway also ranks 11th in the league in points (21.7) and assists (7.1), in addition to 2.02 steals per game (sixth in the league). In the 1996-97 season, the Magic lost the cornerstone of the team, center Shaquille? O'neill. The super-center who turned the team from a Fish Belly to a championship contender joined the Los Angeles Lakers as a free agent at the end of the season. Despite losing Shaquille? O'Neal has been plagued by injuries and manager changes in the middle of the season. The Magic still made the playoffs and were eliminated in the first round by the Miami Heat by just one game.

After an unsatisfactory season, in June 1997, Magic management hired two Hall of Famers at the helm of the team in order to rebuild the team: Chuck, who led the Pistons to two championships? Daley became the team's head coach, "Dr. J" Julius? Owen served as the team's executive vice-president. In the 1997-98 season, horrific injuries shattered fans' hopes once again, and the team was unfortunately locked out of the playoffs with a win rate of exactly 50%. Over the course of a season, 275 players missed games due to injury. The most serious of these is the left leg injury of the team's centerpiece Hardaway, who missed 63 games for four consecutive All-Star guards. Because of Hardaway's absence, Nick? Anderson had to shoulder the responsibility of leading the team, and as the only player to have played for the Magic since the team was founded in 1989, Anderson scored a team-high 15.3 points per game during Hardaway's absence. In the 1998-99 season, due to the impact of collective bargaining, only 50 games were played in the regular season. And in this 50-game season, the Magic has a 33-17 record in the Eastern Conference (tied with the Miami Heat and Indiana Pacers). And the Magic have a proud 21-4 record in home games. But in the first round of the playoffs, the Magic were defeated by Allen? Iverson's Philadelphia 76ers were eliminated in an upset and withdrew from the championship race early. But Darrell in the team? Armstrong became the first player in NBA history to win both the Sixth Man of the Year and Most Improved Awards. The point guard is contributing 13.8 points per game, as well as eighth in the league in steals (2.16), twelfth in assists (6.7) and third in the league in free throw percentage (90.4 percent).
