The Orlando Magic are 47-26 and have secured a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference ahead of schedule, returning to the playoff family after three seasons and just one win away from securing the first place in the Southeast Division.

Such a record was not expected by anyone, even Otis. Smith and Stan. Van Gundy is confident with Linson's arrival, but they are also thinking more about the future of the Orlando Magic than this season.

However, the immediate effect of Linson's arrival was completely unexpected, and from the Christmas signing to the All-Star weekend in Las Vegas, the Orlando Magic became one of the hottest teams in the league.

Although the Magic's record has declined due to various circumstances since then, the Orlando Magic have shown a quasi-strong team overall.

Currently in ninth place in the East is the Indiana Pacers, who improved their record to 31-44 with a 100-96 win over Charlotte Bobcats, who are still fighting for a playoff spot, in a game in Zuihou in March.

Tied with the Indiana Pacers for ninth place in the East is Allen Brown, who will be the center of the ball in the middle of the season. Iverson traded the Philadelphia 76ers, the Philadelphia 76ers tied for ninth in the East with 30 wins and 43 losses, and Michael was in 10th place. Jordan's Charlotte Bobcats are 28-44.

In eighth place in the East is the Washington Wizards with 34 wins and 36 losses, while the New Jersey Nets in seventh place also have a 34-36 record, while in sixth place in the East is the defending champion Miami Heat.

The Miami Heat have played 71 games and have a 36-35 record in 71 games, which is not much ahead of the New Jersey Nets at seventh and the Washington Wizards at eighth. Before the Miami Heat, it was the Toronto Raptors who were 37-34.

From the Toronto Raptors, who are fourth in the East, to the Charlotte Bobcats, who are tenth in the East, is a 9.5-game difference. Theoretically, the Charlotte Bobcats, who are ranked 10th in the East, still have a chance of making the playoffs. But if you really want to perform a miracle in Zuihou 10, it's almost impossible to happen.

But Charlotte Bobcats, who have always been known as the bad team, in Michael. Jordan's refusal at the request of the rotten is still working hard.

This makes the battle for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference even more chaotic, and a single game could change the entire standings.

So when the Orlando Magic are sure to enter the playoffs and almost lock up the top spot in the Southeast Division, what they need to consider is the playoff matchup.

At present, the Orlando Magic is still 6.5 wins away from the Detroit Pistons in the first place in the East at 54-20, and the possibility of completing the comeback and climbing to the first place in the East in 9 games in Zuihou is too small.

What's more, the Orlando Magic has a 48-24 Cleveland Cavaliers in front of them, and the Chicago Bulls, who are in fourth place, are 42-31, and the Magic lead by 5 wins, and it is not surprising that the Magic will enter the playoffs at least in third place in the East.

Such a high ranking into the playoffs means that the Orlando Magic have at least home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

Able to make the playoffs, although this year's Orlando Magic does not intend to target the O'Brien Cup. The Orlando Magic are certainly reluctant to be the role of accompanying the prince to study, and how to go further has become a problem for the uniform team and the coaching staff to consider.

The first opponent in the playoffs has also become a concern for the coaching staff, after all, different opponents have to prepare differently in advance, and from the current rankings, it seems that the Orlando Magic is the most likely to play Miami Heat and Toronto Raptors.

However, the Washington Wizards and the New Jersey Nets behind the Heat are not far behind, so the Magic may also face the Wizards and the Nets.

These four opponents became Stan. Van Gundy is the one who needs to be seriously considered.

Although the Heat's record as the defending champion this season is poor, when it comes to the playoffs, the experience of the Heat veterans is far from comparable to the current Magic.

And that bloodthirsty shark has been clamoring that the playoffs will play well, and the Miami media has been clamoring for the defending champion to have a championship heart.

So Stan. Van Gundy and his coaching staff and Otis. Smith's uniform team unanimously doesn't want to play against the Miami Heat.

And the New Jersey Nets, who are in seventh place, have Jason. Kidd, Richard. Jefferson, Vince. Carter's three musketeers, the strength of these three people is undoubted, although the Nets can no longer be compared with two or three seasons ago, but the experience is the Nets' biggest reliance.

Especially the point guard Jason. Kidd is even more of a veteran to become a demon, and the Magic played the Nets twice after Linson joined. The first time Linson performed well, and the second time Linson performed well although in terms of data, Jason. Kidd scored an even more terrifying triple-double to lead the Nets to victory.

Stan. Van Gundy worries that Rookie Linson, who has zero playoff experience, won't be able to handle Kidd, causing the Magic to collapse. So he was reluctant to play against the Nets in comparison.

The Washington Wizards, who are temporarily ranked eighth, also have generals Arenas and Cuarón. Butler, Antoine. Jamison's trio lineup, but their defensive line was not able to contain Linson, and once Butler was in charge of defending Linson, the Turks could be freed up.

So Stan. Van Gundy concluded that Eddie. Jordan won't let Butler be in charge of defending Linson, and as for the rest of the Wizards' outside line, he doesn't believe in being able to defend Linson, and the Wizards' interior is nowhere near comparable to the Magic.

So it's a good option to play against the Wizards, and the only thing to worry about is whether the big general Arenas will have a convulsion.

In addition, the Toronto Raptors, who are currently in fifth place, have a leading record, but the advantage is not obvious. Van Gundy's coaching staff would prefer to play against the Toronto Raptors.

Although the Raptors have an excellent record this season, the only real threat is Chris. Bosh is alone, and the Magic has no shortage of inside lines, even if you can't prevent Bosh, it doesn't matter, after all, the Raptors only have Bosh alone, compared to Stan. Van Gundy clearly prefers to play against the Raptors.

But these can only be Stan's. Van Gundy's expectations, after all, the opponent will not be able to play according to his expectations.

Stan. Van Gundy can only take one step at a time, and the most important thing at the moment is to adjust the team's lineup and change to playoff form as soon as possible. And the first thing is to let the injured players adjust and rest. Aim to be in the best shape when the playoffs come.

The battle for a playoff spot in the East has reached its worst level in recent years. And the West has Cameron. Anthony and Iverson's Denver Nuggets, Kobe Bryant. Bryant's Los Angeles Lakers currently occupy the seventh and eighth spots in the West.

Afterwards Balang. Davis' Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Clippers, who reached the semifinals last season, Chris. The Hornets led by Paul and the Minnesota Timberwolves, Linson's old club, turned out to have exactly the same record and tied for ninth place in the West, such a tragic scene made all fans crazy.

And these four teams, plus the Nuggets and Lakers, who have a lead of only one win, seventh and eighth, and six teams are fighting for two playoff spots.

The most embarrassing thing is undoubtedly the Minnesota Timberwolves, who were ranked in the top four in the West for a long time before trading Linson.

And after a good time after trading Linson, the Timberwolves' interior big man Mark Brown. Blunt and Mark. Madsen, outside defensive titan Trenton. Hassel's injuries have put the Timberwolves in trouble.

The ranking has slipped from fourth in the West to joint ninth in the West. Although they are currently tied for ninth in the West, the Timberwolves were in the worst form in March. With just six of their 16 games in March, they have slipped from sixth in the West since March to a tie for ninth.

Coupled with the team's serious injury problems, the least regarded of these six teams is the Timberwolves.

The comparison between the Orlando Magic and Minnesota Timberwolves before and after directly made many media ridicule the Timberwolves' uniform team McHale and the coaching staff Devin. Casey's IQ.

Timberwolves fans also miss Linsen, who is in stable form in the Southeast Division, but they can't turn back the clock.

On April 1, the Orlando Magic ushered in the 2006-2007 regular season Zuihou for a month against the Boston Celtics, who completely put the pendulum on the table after the All-Star Weekend and are currently in the league's second-to-last 22-51 record.

This game also made Stan. Van Gundy was particularly relieved, after all, the opponent was already rotten, so Stan. Van Gundy will be Tony. Barty, Darko. Milicic, Chris. Webber was all out of the playing squad.

Also on the roster is Grant, who has been in exceptional health this season. Hill. Although Hill has only missed four games this season and has been largely injury-free, Stan has been a minor injury-free player. Van Gundy didn't dare to be careless, after all, Hill's injury history is too serious. He didn't want to lose Hill in an inconsequential game.

Tekoglu, who has progressed steadily this season, was thrust into the starting power forward position, and after Linson joined, he joined the Magic from the Development League and quickly became the starting shooting guard. Azubuke was put in the small forward position, and Devin was put in the small forward position. As a result, Brown became the team's starting point guard.

The starting playmaking guard is still Linsen, and the center position is Dwight. Howard, there's Carlos on the bench. Arroyo, Rassad. McCanzis, Eddie. Jones, Pippen, Rodman, Garnetty.

Such a lineup still played easily against the messy Boston Celtics, and Linson delivered 14 points and 10 assists in just 26 minutes, improving his rookie season double-doubles to a terrifying 44 and ranking fifth in the league.

In the end, the Magic also defeated the Celtics 100-90 to continue the victory.

However, even more so Stan. Van Gundy was happy that the Miami Heat, who had a game on the same night, won, while Van Gundy's expected playoff opponent, the Toronto Raptors, lost.

On April 3, against the Milwaukee Bucks, who had long lost their playoff hopes, Stan Murray. Van Gundy continues to rotate as much as he did against the Celtics.

This time even the knee felt a little uncomfortable Dwight. Howard was also left out of the playing list, and in the end, the Orlando Magic led by Linson's 23 points and 9 assists to defeat the Milwaukee Bucks and seal the top spot in the Southeast Division and confirm home-court advantage in the playoffs.

But even more so Stan. Van Gundy was pleasantly surprised by the halfway rookie Azubuike, who scored a game-high 25 points, setting a career single-game scoring record.

After the game, the NBA official directly published an article on the headline "Visionary, the Magic in the Playoffs is worth looking forward to", praising the unique vision of the Magic uniform team in selecting personnel, and is very optimistic about the Magic's playoff journey.

As the regular season draws to a close, the battle for a playoff spot intensifies, and the basketball press gets busy as the season draws to a close, and so does the 2006-2007 awards.

With seven games left in the Orlando Magic's regular season, Linson, who played 71 games all season, averaged 22.4 points, 10.8 assists, 2.8 steals, 4.7 rebounds and 0.2 blocks per game.

After this seemingly dominating statistic, Linson's shooting percentage is not bad at all, shooting a whopping 58.5% from the field, 44.4% from three-point range, and 92.7% from the free throw line, with the only blemish being 2.4 fouls and 3.1 turnovers per game.

Averaged 22.4 points per game with Chris Bosh, as well as his predecessor Kevin Bosh. Garnett is tied for 17th on the scoring charts.

His 10.8 assists per game is second only to Steve Nash's 11.6, while he and Nash are only two players in the league to average 10 assists per game, while Deron Williams is third with 9.3.

His 2.8 steals were a short of his terrifying 4-plus at the start of the season, but they still put him at the top of the league, and behind Linson was the bearded Barang of the Golden State Warriors. Davis and the beast Artest.

The all-in-one interior player who ranks eighth in the league in shooting percentage and ranks ahead of Linson ranks fifth in three-point shooting percentage and first in free throw shooting percentage.

Although his 3.1 turnovers per game are also 16th in the league, they are undoubtedly nothing compared to his contributions.

Lin Sen's personal data is shocking enough just from the data, not to mention that Lin Sen is just a rookie.

This statistic, combined with Linson's excellent record with the Timberwolves, especially the comparison of the Timberwolves who were considered to be a big profit after the absence of Linson, and the Orlando Magic's before and after the acquisition of Linson, make Linson the favorite to be the MVP in the regular season.

However, Lin Sen himself is not optimistic about himself, after all, the team's record is not particularly good, and he is still just a rookie. (To be continued......)
