Chen Jiyuan is very sure that the Magic will leave the ranks of strong contenders for the Eastern Conference championship. But there are also many people who don't think so.

For this trade, many people feel that the impact on the Magic will not be so great, after all, the team's roots are still there, and Humphries's arrival can also strengthen the team's rebounding. This is also a good addition, as for the offense on the team's bench, it's not that Milicic is not there, and the Magic's bench won't be offensive.

In the eyes of many people, having Gortat and JJ Redick on the inside can also make the offensive firepower of the Magic's bench not weak. At least it won't become a weakness.

However, first of all, they overestimated Gortat's offensive ability, and not every game has a guy named Ibaka who defends Gortat. Moreover, JJ Reddick's offensive ability with the ball is even more overrated by Yan zhòng.

Now Redick's playing time is still very short, but as Redick's playing time increases, everyone will find out that Redick's offensive firepower with the ball is weak. Redick did a good job of catching and shooting three-pointers, and although Redick's dribbling was good, it didn't help him improve his speed and power weaknesses.

Without Milicic, the magic will definitely weaken. Especially in the playoffs, when the bayonets are red. Chen Jiyuan is convinced of this.

And very coincidentally, just after the Magic completed the trade, the opponent they met in the first game was the Knicks.

I don't know if it's magic luck or bad luck. Gave them a chance for revenge, but I just don't know if they can take it.

This time it's the home of the Magic.

Howard is hoping to be able to get rid of it. In the last game, the Knicks led the rhythm of the whole game, so that the Magic had no hope of turning the tables at all, which was simply a complete abuse. No one wants to go through such an experience.

Coming to Orlando, the game between the two sides did not go according to the plot that Howard wanted.

Although they are back at home, the Magic are still not in a good situation.

In this game, Howard was indeed very good, facing Chen Jiyuan's defense, this time Howard still hit 10 of 15, but the free throws were an embarrassing 5 of 10. He scored 25 points and also contributed 16 rebounds.

Now Howard's free throws are actually much better than in his previous life, when he was in his rookie season, he shot 67.1% from the field with an average of 5.0 free throws per game, and he never shot more than 60% from the field.

This year, Howard is shooting 65 percent from the field while averaging 11.0 free throws per game. For Howard, that's already a pretty good hit rate.

While Howard's shooting percentage may not be maintained as the season progresses, there is no doubt that Howard's shooting ability has improved.

Under Howard's defense, in this game, Chen Jiyuan also had no stage fright at all, and still showed his unparalleled scoring ability.

Chen Jiyuan had 29 points and 10 rebounds, as well as five assists and three blocks. Although it seems that Chen Jiyuan's rebounds are not as many as Howard's, many of Howard's rebounds are backcourt rebounds, and even in this case, the Magic still lost a lot of rebounds. Because the Magic's rebounding is weak as a whole and relies too much on Howard, if Howard only relies on Howard to grab it alone, it will definitely enter the Knicks' whole team to grab rebounds.

Lewis's thin body simply couldn't stop the brutalist Gibson and Ibaka from grabbing the rebounds in the frontcourt.

Especially Tay Gibson, Tay Gibson often squeezed Lewis out of the way at once, grabbed a rebound that was supposed to be Lewis in everyone's eyes, and then succeeded in the second offense. Howard didn't have a chance to go defense. If Howard is likely to interfere with Ty Gibson's offense, then you will find that Howard is already entangled in one person, and that person is Chen Jiyuan.

In Chen Jiyuan's opinion, Howard is a very good opponent. Although Chen Jiyuan thinks that he is better than Howard. But the days without opponents are still lonely. The master is lonely.

In the end, the Magic still lost the game. Humphries, who was "given high hopes" by everyone, did not appear in this game.

And this has also become a big excuse for the Magic to lose. Because the magic is not complete yet. That's why I lost.

However, in the end, this can only be said to be an excuse that the magic itself does not believe.

lost to the Knicks twice in a row, which made Howard very unhappy and unconvinced.

Howard never felt that his strength was worse than Chen Jiyuan, so losing to the Knicks and Chen Jiyuan again could only make Howard more dissatisfied with the transaction that had just happened.

Besides, Howard was extremely dissatisfied with this deal, and he hoped to negotiate this matter with the management many times, hoping that the team would not trade Milicic, but every time it was dealt with, this made Howard even more unhappy.

Many things don't explode all at once, they all accumulate slowly, accumulate and accumulate, and if there is too much dissatisfaction, it will explode. This is also why good-tempered people are not easy to clean up once they have an outburst. Because you don't know how long he's endured dissatisfaction.

Howard is in this situation, although he is very determined to stand up for Milicic, but Howard rarely uses leaving as a bargaining chip to blackmail the management like some people, which also makes the management have this idea, and Howard's idea of keeping Milicic is not 10,000% firm.

The contradiction between Howard and the management will need to be resolved sooner or later, but this is not something that Chen Jiyuan needs to worry about, this is Magic's own problem, how to have a good relationship with the star of his own team, what they need to do.

After winning the Magic, it was another wave of four consecutive wins.

In their next game, the Knicks are flying to Atlanta for a game.

Now the Eagles are nearing the end of their classified plan.

It's a swingman who summons dragons. As soon as the dragon comes out, who will compete.

The Knicks' starters are still those five, Chen Jiyuan, Curry, Iguodala, Stephen Jackson, and Ibaka.

The Eagles' starters were Josh Smith, Al Horford, Joe Johnson and Marvin Williams. Mike Bibby.

The Knicks were unsuccessful in pursuing Josh Smith back then, which can be said to be beyond Chen Jiyuan's expectations, but it was the Hawks' choice that made them gradually rise.

Now Josh Smith is in his prime, both physically and mentally.

Now Josh Smith doesn't have such a strong desire for high-level treatment.

Soon, with Josh Smith playing well, it was natural that he would have to pursue a higher value. At that time, the internal disharmony of the team made it impossible for the Eagles to improve.

It's good to be able to enter the playoffs for so many years in a row, but being eliminated in the second round last year after another is not what the Eagles want, and such a tepid result is really appetizing.

It is precisely because of Johnson's leadership that the Eagles have not broken through for a long time. That's why the Eagles finally decided that this guy wasn't the one who could take the Eagles to a higher place. So, Joe Johnson was sent away. In other words, if it weren't for the boss of Tuhao.com, no one would have dared to accept Joe Johnson's contract.

The two sides jumped the ball and fought for the ball, no matter how good Horford was, he was still short after all, after all, he was a big forward, not a traditional center. It's just that after entering the NBA, the needs of the team began to change the style of play and become a No. 5 player.

So, this jump ball, Chen Jiyuan turned the ball to Curry.

Curry walked cautiously forward with the ball. Bibby quickly posted it.

Having been in a few games, everyone is saying now that Curry is not a timid rookie, don't take him lightly. Mike Bibby is a veteran after all, and he has a lot of experience.

Knowing this kind of rookie, generally speaking, it is difficult to limit when it is smooth, and it will become a nightmare for the opponent's team, but once it is not smooth, then it will become a nightmare for your own team.

Bibby decided that if he defended Curry from the beginning, then once Curry lost his cool, it was time for him to find a breakthrough point in Curry.

Bibby not only defends Curry closely, but also is very smart to keep reaching out to interfere with Curry's dribbling without losing position, anyway, it doesn't make Curry strong.

Curry's position at the top of the arc finally couldn't bear Bibi's interference, and he was too anxious to pass the ball to Iguodala, which almost missed, but fortunately Iguodala took a step forward to catch the ball.

After Iguodala received the ball, he gave a high-profile to Chen Jiyuan on the inside.

Chen Jiyuan singled Al Horford with his back, and the height gap between the two is really not small.

Chen Jiyuan was 2.13 meters tall when he first entered the alliance, but I don't know when, Chen Jiyuan grew two centimeters longer, and now he is 2.15 meters tall. Al Horford, on the other hand, is only 2.08 meters tall, a difference of 7 centimeters. When Chen Jiyuan singled Al Horford with his back, everyone saw the height difference.

After Chen Jiyuan leaned on his back, he directly turned over and made a jumper, which Al Horford couldn't reach at all. I can only watch the ball shoot and pray in my heart that the ball will not go in.

If you want to say, Al Horford is still young in the end, if he has been in the league for a few years, maybe just that ball, Chen Jiyuan can't shoot so comfortably, and the defenders will definitely exert their strength on Chen Jiyuan in the process of Chen Jiyuan's jumping, so that Chen Jiyuan can't shoot so easily.

This ball, two points are simply in hand. 2:0。
