"The Staples Clippers fans are disappointed, and I understand how they feel, because the loss means they're a little bit off the road to the game they have to win, albeit just a little bit, but they can't afford to be dropped for a playoff hungry." Hoffman said as he looked at the frustrated departing fans.

"But it's not the time for Los Angeles to despair, their season is not over yet, all they can do is play every game below, only then can they keep hope until Zuihou, who knows what the outcome will be until Zuihou?" Bill. Wharton continued.

Lin Sen looked at Sam in front of him. Kassel played against Cassel at the beginning of the season, and Garnett and McHale told him that Kassel would help him improve, and now that he is in Orlando and not in Minnesota.

"Sam, I'd like you to help me in the offseason if I could, I wanted to learn something from you."

"Learn something from me?" Cassel was a little surprised, he and Lin Sen greeted him as a normal process after the game, but he didn't expect Lin Sen to learn something from him.

"Oh, I remember, KG told me once, but damn it, my brain is old and my memory has deteriorated a little, and I actually forgot about it." Cassel patted his head and smiled.

Lin Sen smiled: "I know it's a bit abrupt, and you have your time in the offseason, but I don't take up much time." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I promised KG about this a long time ago. And I'm happy to help you too. Not to mention that I have to train in the offseason myself. You can be my companion when you come. ”

Lin Sen didn't expect Kassel to be so easy to speak, but when he thought of Kassel's thin body, his back singles, his strange rhythm of not being fast but breaking through, and his good mid-range pull-up jump shot, Lin Sen couldn't help but look forward to it.

Coupled with the previous training with Kobe Bryant, Lin Sen believes that he can learn some of Kobe's offensive skills at close range.

Although the season is coming to an end and his own stats are beautiful, and can even be described as luxurious, Linson is not satisfied with what the data shows on the surface.

Compared to the stats, Linson knows he still has a lot to learn and improve, and the offseason is undoubtedly the most promising opportunity.

'My players played well, even though we lost tonight. But I'm happy with their form, the season isn't over yet, the door to the playoffs hasn't been closed yet, and I'm sure we still have a chance to make the playoffs. "After the game, Clippers head coach Mike . Dunleavy said at a press conference.

When it comes to Linson, Mike. Dunleavy smiled helplessly: "There is no doubt that his performance is phenomenal, although I don't pay much attention to his every game, but I have played against him before this and I know that his scoring ability is very good, this game proves it, I believe his future must be bright." ”

The Orlando Magic's victory over the Los Angeles Clippers is also a good start to the season Zuihou's back-to-back. With the victory, the Magic's record improved to 50-26.

It is also the fourth time in the Orlando Magic's 18-year NBA history that he has won more than 50 games in a single season, and the last time he exceeded 50 wins was in the 1995-96 season before "Big Shark" O'Neal left Orlando for Los Angeles. O'Neal and Hardaway led the Magic to a 60-22 record that season.

"The Great Revival Era of Orlando is Coming" -- this is the case with the Orlando Magic's media "Orlando Sentinel" reporter Mike Murphy. The title of the article that Bianchi wrote in his column.

"When the whistle blew at full-time, we had 50 wins again in 10 seasons, when was the last time we had 50 wins?

I think too much of the memory of Orlando's memory of that glory is long gone, but now we have it again.

Although it was only a win in the regular season, it was the beginning of our great revival in Orlando.

I think countless Orlandians are beginning to look forward to a brighter future for us. Lin, Dwight. Howard, this is our greatest dependence, this is another shark + penny combo from God......"

Just like the praise sent by Orlan Multimedia, Orlando Magic fans who have been waiting for more than a decade have regained hope for the O'Brien Cup, although this hope seems far away for the time being, but there are still two months to go before the 20-year-old Linsen and the 22-year-old Dwight is still half a year away. Howard gives Magic fans confidence.

The combination of Linson and Howard inside and outside is also the envy of other uniform groups, although the current Howard Jishu is still terrible, but in this era of scarcity of centers, a center with quality potential is undoubtedly a huge killer.

Not to mention that Jishu is still far from mature, and Howard has already scored 20+10 super stats in the third season of his career.

Back-to-back Game 2 against the Los Angeles Lakers is also a national concern, and Kobe Bryant, who is extremely eager to enter the playoffs. Bryant turned on the offense from the start of the game, making the Magic's defense miserable.

The defensive intensity of the Los Angeles Lakers made the Orlando Magic experience the intensity of the playoffs, and Kobe's single defense made rookie Lin Sen feel embarrassed again, but Lin Sen has improved significantly compared to the first time he faced Kobe.

But Linson's progress did not allow the Orlando Magic to get rid of the pressure of the Lakers, Zen master Jackson was calm on the sidelines, and Stan, who was behind in the score. Van Gundy was also unfazed.

Still the old god in the will Chris. Webb and Grant. Hill and other veterans were put off the court to rest, and Linson didn't play even a minute after the first quarter of the game until the end of the game.

This made several teams watching the game in front of the TV expecting the Magic to take out the Lakers hate, and Stan. Van Gundy knew how he would be rated, but he didn't care, all he cared about was the health of his players.

He didn't want his team players to be out of shape in the playoffs because of a few playoff games, and he started controlling his players' playing time when the game started in April, and Linson was one of the few who wasn't.

Before the start of this game, he was determined to control Linsen's playing time and try to rest Linsen, who averaged 36.4 points per game in the regular season. He didn't want Linson to be out of shape in the playoffs because he ran out of energy in the regular season.

Once Lin Sen played abnormally. Then magic loses its sharpest weapon. Not to mention going to beat the opponent, so Stan. Van Gundy made such an arrangement.

For Stan. Van Gundy's arrangement Linson also agreed, he only played in the NCAA before entering the NBA, and the intensity of the college league and the NBA is simply not comparable.

This is also the fundamental reason why many rookie players can perform well at the beginning of the NBA season, but hit the rookie wall in January or so.

Although Lin Sen didn't seem to hit the rookie wall, Lin Sen himself knew that there was a period of bad form after the All-Star Weekend, and he made adjustments on the court, reduced his individual offense, and more team cooperation to survive.

Lin Sen sat on the court and watched Kobe's performance, and his heart was full of expectations for being able to train with Kobe Bryant in the offseason.

The first half of the game is over. Bryant scored a terrifying 24 points, leading the Lakers to a 13-point lead over the Magic.

Linson played ten minutes in the second half to help the Magic close some of the difference, but in the fourth quarter of Zuihou, Linson still didn't play a minute, and finally the Los Angeles Lakers, who played at home, defeated the Orlando Magic in the second game of the back-to-back 102-84 under the leadership of Kobe Bryant's 40 points.

The turmoil after the game can be imagined, the Clippers who lost to the Magic last night, the Warriors who are chasing the Lakers in eighth place in the West, Chris. Paul's Hornets and Timberwolves have both expressed strong displeasure with the Magic's roster changes.

But their displeasure won't change Van Gundy's mind, even if the league fined the Orlando Magic $100,000 for negative play amid complaints from multiple clubs.

"I'm not going to change the way we play, my players have had a long season, they've all reached their physical limits, and I have to take responsibility for his body and for our playoffs." Stan. Van Gundy said in an interview with reporters.

After losing the game against the Lakers, the Orlando Magic's record became 50-27.

Just the night after the Magic and Lakers game, LeBron. The James-led Cleveland Cavaliers also lost Game 2 of a back-to-back game against the Indiana Pacers.

However, compared to the Magic, they also failed to win the first game of the back-to-back this season, and James, who missed a triple-double of rebounds, lost to Jason, who scored a triple-double. Kyd. In the second game of the back-to-back, James scored a triple-double but still couldn't help the team win.

Back-to-back losses to the Nets and Pacers also changed the Cavaliers' record from 50-25 to 50-27.

And with the three games that have been played between the Orlando Magic and the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Magic took a 2-1 lead, and in that case the Magic were second in the East.

With both teams having five games left in the regular season, both the Magic and the Cavaliers could be second in the East.

The Chicago Bulls, ranked fifth in the East, are 45-30 and basically unable to catch up with the Cavaliers and Magic, and the actual record is behind the Bulls, but the Toronto Raptors, who are ranked fourth in the Atlantic Division with 42 wins and 34 losses, are unlikely to be overtaken by the Miami Heat, who are 39-35 behind them.

After all, the Heat are the team with the most regular season games in the league, and the Miami Heat still have two back-to-backs to play in the remaining eight games, and five teams fighting for a playoff spot in eight games.

Behind the Heat, the New Jersey Nets and Washington Wizards are still 2 wins away from the Heat, but their opponents are not as strong as the Heat, which means that the Miami Heat is likely to fall to the eighth and seventh place in the East at the Zuihou moment.

If they fall to eighth, then the Miami Heat will play the Detroit Pistons, the East boss, but once they fall to seventh or maintain their sixth, then the chances of the Magic and the Heat facing each other in the first round of the playoffs will be greater.

Against the Heat was Stan. Van Gundy absolutely does not want to see the situation, and the Heat's variables also make Van Gundy worried, but fortunately, the Heat need to play 2 games before the next game of the Magic arrives.

These two games can make Stan. Van Gundy thought about it: "It looks like we're going to have to follow the Heat and the Nets Wizards one step at a time. ”

"Actually, even against the Heat, we don't necessarily have to lose, and I feel like we have a big chance of winning." Otis. Smith looks at Stan. Van Gundy said.

"It's huge. All shijie knows that the Miami Heat are not in good shape. But the key question is what if this group of nursing home guys comes back to life in the playoffs? So the best situation is not to play against the Heat. The good thing is that we are playing against the Cavaliers, so we can have a big choice. "Stan. Van Gundy said as he looked at the table.

One game in the Magic season was the away game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

If the two sides are still tied before this game, then a win for the Magic will secure second place in the East, and once the Cavaliers win, then the winning percentages of both sides in their respective leagues need to be considered.

At the moment, the Magic have won slightly worse than the Cavaliers in the East in the games that have been played, and there are still three Eastern Conference teams in each of the five games that have been played by both teams.

If both sides are the same in Zuihou, then the Magic will lose the game and fall to third place due to the win percentage against the Eastern Conference.

If before a game in zuihou. Everything is relatively easy for the Heat to determine the ranking, but Van Gundy is worried that the Heat will not be able to determine the ranking in the first round of Zuihou, so the Magic will have to make other preparations for Zuihou against the Cavaliers.

"Stan, forgot to tell you one thing about Dwight's agent Aaron. Goodwin called us off for an early extension. "Otis. Smith's words made Stan. Van Gundy was stunned for a moment.

"Didn't it go well before? It's just that they ask for a contract with a maximum salary? ”

"It was true before that, but at the end of March they suddenly asked for a moratorium on contract renewals."

"What the hell is going on here, does he want to leave the team?"

Otis. Smith shrugged: "It's not that I want to leave the team, but I want to get more privileges. Fagan was in close contact with Dwight's father, with whom he had met several times. ”

"Dan. Fagan? Damn, how did that guy get involved. Could it be that Dwight wants to fire Goodwin? "Stan. Van Gundy frowned.

Cinnabar. Fagan is one of the most controversial agents in the NBA right now, although the player is happy that he can get a big contract for himself. But his methods are a headache for the uniform team, and there are more new methods and techniques to fight for the maximum benefit and contract for his customers.

For example, it pioneered the signing model of a one-year trade that was a headache for the uniforms, which is similar to a one-year contract, but the one-year deal allows one team to sign a player and trade it to another team a year later and keep his Larry. Bird clause, but this requires the league to recognize that a player's annual salary can be increased by 12.5% and that the player must play for a team for more than three years, during which time there can be no waiver or transfer.

"At the moment it seems very likely, everyone knows Dan. Fagan's ability, Dwight does not rule out that it will come like this, although Dwight's progress is not obvious, but there is no problem with giving him a maximum salary, the key is to worry about Dan. Fagan is asking too much of this, and I'm worried that he'll interfere with Dwight's role for us. ”

Otis. Smith's words are not bad at all, the current atmosphere for the Magic is good, and Howard also does not mean that Linson becomes the leader of the Magic, although he rarely publicly states in public that Linson is the leader of the team and not him.

But in case Howard signs Dan. Fagan, then everything could have changed.

"Let's take one step at a time, now let's think about the headache game." Stan. Van Gundy said helplessly.

However, the results of the next game went to the point where Van Gundy least wanted to see it, and he continued to rotate players according to his own schedule.

Except for Chris, who didn't have much rotation after entering the rotation and taking a break for a while. Webb and Grant. Veterans such as Hill are also starting to get back on the court to get a feel for the game, but more for the upcoming playoffs.

The Magic defeated the visiting Atlanta Hawks and Seattle SuperSonics at home, followed by a win over the Philadelphia 76ers on the road, knocking the Philadelphia 76ers out of the playoff contenders.

Then they lost on the road to the Golden State Warriors, who worked hard to secure a playoff spot, while the Cleveland Cavaliers, like the Magic, went 4-1 in the next four games.

This leaves the Cleveland Cavaliers and Orlando Magic with the same record of 54-27 before the Zuihou head-to-head meeting, and the Magic still sit second in the East with a 2-1 lead head-to-head.

But the sixth-eighth places in the Eastern Conference playoffs have changed to the New Jersey Nets, Miami Heat and Washington Wizards.

What's more critical is that the three teams have exactly the same record of 44-37, the Nets have only played the Heat three times this season, the Nets have won 2-1, and the Wizards have played four times, and have achieved 2-1 in three games, and the Nets are temporarily ranked sixth in the East by virtue of their record advantage against each other.

The Nets played against the Washington Wizards this season, while the Heat played against the Los Angeles Clippers, who are ninth in the West.

The Los Angeles Clippers, who are ninth in the West, are half a win behind the Golden State Warriors with one game remaining, and the Golden State Warriors will face the Dallas Mavericks, who are first in the West.

Such a matchup means that the rankings are varied, which means that there are all kinds of possibilities until the end of a match in Zuihou, and a match in Zuihou will be played at the same time.

On April 17, the Orlando Magic team flew to Cleveland for the 2006-2007 season. (To be continued......)
