"That's right, we were able to win this game thanks to Coach Pat, his defensive strategy against Jonny is really good, using Woshan, a very athletic player, to defend Jonny, and the other player is ready to wrap up, this defensive strategy made Jonny only 5 shots in the whole game, scored 11 points, I think Coach Pat has created a way to deal with Jonny Lee, this method will be widely used"

Looking at Tim Hardaway's eloquent talk on the TV, Jonny's face was a little gloomy, he is not a person who likes to blame others, since entering the NBA, even if there are some problems, Jonny will always look for reasons in himself, but now Jonny really feels the gap, not the gap between him and others, but the gap between Magic head coach Ricky Adubatu and Pat Riley. n∈

In the first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Heat, the Magic lost by 22 points, and Jonny's complete dumb fire was considered by everyone to be the main reason for the Magic's loss.

But only the Magic players knew what it was all about, and from the very beginning of the game, Ricky Adrubatu was led by the nose by Pat Riley. Jonny was frozen, Ricky Adubatu couldn't think of a way at all, he arranged Jonny's singles tactics, but it was completely useless, and the Heat still wrapped up, locking Jonny's shooting space.

However, Jonny also knows that Richie Adubatu's ability is only these, after the last game, Richie Adubatu also apologized to the whole team, but for Jonny, the most important thing now is not Richie Adubatu's apology, but what to do with the Magic in the next few games.

What can the Magic do when Patley uses his iron-blooded defense to lock the Magic? At least outside media reporters and experts believe that there is no way to magic.

ESPN said: "The Magic were killed by the Heat, and they could quite figure out what they could do to help Jonny Lee get out of the bag? I think it's no, this round of the series, conservatively estimated will be the Heat 4:2 defeat the Magic to advance! ”

And Yahoo Sports believes: "No one expected Pat Riley to come to such a hand, now well, the regular season scoring champion is dumb, the Magic have lost their most critical scoring point, there is nothing to say about this round of the series, the Heat will complete the meeting with the Bulls, and finally, Pat Riley deserves to be the best coach." ”

However, a quote from the NBC Sports TV host reminded Jonny: "Now, the situation in the East and West playoffs has become clear, the Magic are likely to be eliminated by the Heat, and their leading scorer is locked up by Pat Riley, unless Jonny Lee can improve himself in the short term."

"Improve your strength in the short term?" Jonny frowned and burrowed into the system, looking at the 14 power points, he felt that it was time to use the 14 power points.

What happens if I use up my energy points to improve my off-ball runs? Jonny felt that there might be a play, and shook off his opponent with a faster speed to get a split second of the shot.

The disturbances from the outside world have affected the magic somewhat, at least John Gabriel, who rarely appears in the training hall, has appeared here several times, and even chatting with Jonny sometimes, he will ask Jonny a little vaguely about the idea of changing coaches.

Jonny is a little entangled, on the one hand, so far in the playoffs, Ricky Adubatu has indeed shown a worse level than many head coaches, and even Dave Cowens, the head coach of the Hornets in the first round, can occasionally suppress Richie Adubatu tactically, which is conceivable. But on the other hand, Jonny is reluctant to Ricky Adubatu to leave the Magic, not to mention that Richie Adubatu is his Bole, as long as Jonny thinks of Bryan Hill, he inexplicably has a resistance to changing coaches.

And Jonny feels that even if Ricci Adubatu is not capable, he can help the team go all the way. There is no need for the team to change the coach at all, so Jonny also vaguely expressed the idea that he does not want to change the coach.

Jonny feels that this is the end of the matter, although now the whole world is saying that the magic is going to end, the Heat may sweep the Magic and so on, Jonny is also helpless, all he can do is wait for the next game. The next game was only a day away, but Jonny didn't expect public opinion to make so many things happen to the Magic, and what happened next made Jonny a little angry.

Anfernee Hardaway approached Jonny, and his tone wasn't so kind.

"Jonny, come on!" On May 8, after training, in the locker room in the training hall, Anfernee Hardaway called Jonny in a very angry tone.

Jonny was a little strange at the time, he had the impression that Anfernee Hardaway had not yet behaved like this. The two walked to a corner of the training hall, and Jonny quickly understood what Anfernee Hardaway was looking for him, and Anfernee Hardaway questioned why Jonny was unwilling to change the coach, and the two had an argument, which was seen by several Magic players who were still practicing

"No, no, no, I just don't understand, why don't you want to change the coach? It's good for all of us, and you've seen what Richie is capable of, and that's the way it is, you see," Anfernee Hardaway said foaming.

Jonny was a little unhappy to listen, and he interrupted Anfernee Hardaway: "But, we haven't lost this round of the series, have we?" We should give Richie some time, shouldn't we? Jonny's rhetoric was also a bit intense, and in short, the two seemed to have a fierce conflict.

"Of course, we won't change the coach for the time being, but what about the future? I will definitely change it in the future! ”

"But if Richie succeeds in leading the team, why do we have to change?" Jonny said again, and Anfernee Hardaway stopped talking, and the two of them fell silent. Then the minutes and seconds passed, no one spoke, and then they went home separately. Jonny thought that this was the end of the change of coach, but the management of the Magic had already begun to act.

"John, Penny has just come in again, and he says that Richie is going to change anyway, but it can be postponed until next season." A middle-aged man said to John Gabriel at his desk.

John Gabriel nodded: "Okay, I know, help me contact these people." Then the middle-aged man left the office with the list, and on that list were several NBA coaches who were idle at home.

And on May 9th, the second game of the Magic against the Heat, the morning before the start of this game, the argument that the Magic could not defeat the Heat became more and more high, especially on this day, it was exposed that Jonny and Anfernee Hardaway had a quarrel in the training hall, and the outside world's confidence in the Magic was equal to nothing, and even the local media in Orlando were a little sad that the Magic was about to stop in the second round.

And the second game between the Magic and the Heat began in this atmosphere.
