In the NBA, everyone knows that people go to high places, and everyone knows that big teams or big city teams will always be more attractive than small teams, so in the NBA, many big teams will have more stars and attraction than small teams, of course, not all small teams are not attractive to players, such as the Spurs, such as the Timberwolves.

After all, although the NBA is a commercial league, the players in the commercial league may not be some people who love money, money is not so important to some players, and the same is true for exposure, the league will always have some respectable gentleman players, they often choose to reduce their salaries for the team, or choose to sign long-term contracts, etc., they are also willing to stay in a team that is not big but has a certain competitiveness for the fans who love them. There are not many such player leagues, but they are not impossible. For example, Grant Hill and Hardaway of the current Lakers.

Almost all fans who know the NBA know that there are a few special teams in the NBA, and among these special teams is a very strange and ridiculed team, the Orlando Magic. This team from the owner of the team, to the management of the team, and finally to the fans of this team is a group of extremely strange teams, if you say which team in the league has the most cold-blooded management? It is estimated that many people will think of the Phoenix Suns, if there is a team whose management and fans are the most cold-blooded, then there will only be magic left, this team can cheer for a player today, and the same tomorrow can give the same person the most disgusting insults, the fans of this team have no reason at all, for them. Basketball is just a venting tool for them. And basketball players are also their venting tools.

And the Orlando Magic is also the only team in the league that can't keep the team leader. This is a team with a very short history, this is just a team that only entered the league in 1990, and the team leaders that this team can handle are only O'Neal, Hardaway and Grant Hill, no surprise, these people were all abandoned by the Magic, O'Neal's departure is because the management of the Magic gave a total salary of $4,000 less than the Lakers, and Magic fans are more willing to support Hardaway, who was red at the time because of the defeat of Jordan, to denigrate O'Neal as a miser. And when Hardaway was repeatedly injured, these fans scolded Hardaway again for the second generation of Jordan's successor, Grant Hill, and finally Grant Hill was also sent away by them. And this team has also been labeled as impatient and unsightly

In an NBA team, it's not a mistake for the fans of this team to be fickle, they have the right to treat the NBA as just a recreational activity, and whoever can bring them joy, they support whomever they want, and there is no right or wrong thing for anyone, Magic fans can choose that, and Magic management can choose this way, just in all these teams in the NBA. I'm afraid they're the most thorough, even though the NBA is called a business league. But most teams in the NBA still have human feelings, and this magic is completely absent.

Anyone who knows the NBA knows that Grant Hill and Hardaway have a grudge with the Magic, these two Jordan successors used to be Orlando's darlings, and they were also Orlando's outcasts, when these two Orlando outcasts played at a very high level in the Lakers this season, almost all the media around the world were amazed by these two, and at this time, Orlando's fans and media have been sarcastic, whether it is a traitor or a glass man or a soft egg's hat is constantly putting on the heads of these two. Now that he has left, it is a little disgraceful to be so unrelenting.

Of course, they have the right to express their own ideas, so when Zhuang Fei came to Orlando with the Lakers players on November 15, at Amway Arena, Zhuang Fei and the Lakers were also prepared to face the boos here, especially the Lakers' Grant Hill and Hardaway, the two former owners of the house, who were almost booed by the Magic fans when they played.

"Grant, Perry, are you all right?"

Listening to the boos coming from all directions, Zhuang Fei obviously felt that the two players under his command had a bad face, especially Grant Hill, this is the first time he has returned here after leaving Magic, it stands to reason that even if the Magic fans don't give him applause, he shouldn't boo him, and although Hardaway's face is not very good-looking, he also has a sense of relief.

"Coach, I'm fine, it's better than when I came before, they scolded me for being garbage" Hardaway's face changed slightly in the end, and then looked at Zhuang Fei who was a little moved and said with a wry smile, and when Hardaway finished speaking, Zhuang Fei and the other Lakers players were also stunned, but soon, these Lakers players became angry, although the meaning revealed by Hardaway in the last sentence was not very clear, but obviously, Hardaway, who has seriously declined because of injuries, must have encountered several humiliating treatments when he came here before, almost all Lakers players can imagine, and at this time, Hill also shook his head with a wry smile after hearing Hardaway's words, because in a sense, he drove Hardaway, and Magic fans humiliated Hardaway through his name.

"Perry, don't worry, I will avenge you in this game" At this time, after hearing Hardaway's words, Kobe Bryant, the star of the Lakers, also gritted his teeth and said, just like Maddie said to him, the leader of the team is to make the rest of his teammates happy, and now it is obvious that neither Hill nor Hardaway are so happy, for Kobe, who has always thought of himself as the leader of the team, of course he knows what he needs to do, in fact, in normal times, This very childish Lakers leader has always been very attentive to the team's three veterans, as long as he can get the support of the three veterans, the Lakers players have the final say, so in normal times, in the face of Kobe's overtures, although these three people are absolutely Kobe's approach is sometimes naïve, but they also know that he is not bad-hearted, so he is not evil, but this time, Kobe's approach has been approved by all Lakers players, which also makes Kobe extremely happy.

"yes, Perry, we're going to avenge you in this game, do you want to score or do you want to get an assist?" At this time, almost after Kobe Bryant's proposal, the Lakers players were noisy, and at this time, the magic fans in the stands saw the Lakers up and down, although they didn't know what these Lakers players were talking about, but the boos were getting louder and louder, of course, these boos were naturally mixed with many other voices, such as scolding.

Although Hardaway has always felt that he is unfortunate many times, but at this time Hardaway feels that he is very lucky, and what happened to him when he was with the Magic made him think that it was a nightmare for his basketball career, and after leaving the Magic to go to the Phoenix Suns, although the fans liked him, but the management did not think he was a candidate for rebuilding, and still chose to abandon him, and finally he came to the Cavaliers and received unprecedented respect and love, and when he left the Cavaliers with extreme reluctance, He also felt this respect with the Lakers, and perhaps for the current Lakers fans, they may never treat him like a Cavaliers fan, but his teammates are no worse than those teammates in the Cavaliers.

"Thank you, but I think our goal in this game is still to win, so there is no need for everyone to change anything for me, as long as the team can win" At this time, Hardaway also said apologetically after glancing at Kobe Bryant and other Lakers players, and at this time his eyes finally looked at Zhuang Fei, obviously, he was apologizing to Zhuang Fei, he didn't want to change the team's already formulated style of play. It's just that at this time, Hardaway found that the team's head coach Zhuang Fei suddenly smiled.

"Perry is right, our goal in this game is to win, so I don't want any accidents in this game, but I don't plan to dictate what you do in this game, I think you know, I just want to win, as for how big this victory is, I don't care how you get the victory, so do you understand what I mean" When Zhuang Fei smiled and said these words, the Lakers players were also stunned, And Stephen Green, the assistant coach of the Lakers on Zhuang Fei's side, shook his head and smiled bitterly after being stunned, his teacher was ready to use magic.

"Got it, coach"

"Coach, we know what to do"

Almost instantly, the players on the Lakers' bench erupted into a loud shout, and at this time, the Magic fans who were closer to the Lakers' bench were also a little puzzled, and the same was true of Kenny Smith, the commentator of the game, who also didn't understand what was going on on the Lakers' bench.

"It seems that the momentum of the Lakers in this game is good, and the Magic game is not very good to play" Kenny Smith looked at the Chinese on the Lakers bench, and at this time the Lakers players were also very imposing to warm up.

"Yes, in terms of strength, the Magic, who are ninth in the East, are not the opponent of the Lakers who are the first in the West, but the Magic still have a batch, they have been in good form recently, they just beat the Hawks by a big score yesterday, and now they need to win consecutive games to enter the playoff sequence."

Barkley is not optimistic about the Magic either, but he also does not think that the Magic have no strength.

And when the warm-up of the players on both sides ended, the game also began, and the Lakers' starting lineup for this game was Webb, Hill, Hardaway, Kobe Bryant and Szczebiak, Zhuang Fei returned to the original starting lineup.

"I wonder how many points I can win in this game?" When the game started, Green also looked at the Lakers players on the court and thought with some curiosity.

And at the beginning of this game, the first offense after the Magic's successful jump ball, the Lakers began to press all over the court. (To be continued.) )
