"You still have to fly away overnight, I won't kill you today, let you go." Yao Ming walked up and said with a smile that he played extremely uncomfortable in this game, and in the end he only scored 16 points in the whole game, mainly in the third quarter.

Officially, because Yao Ming was restricted, there was a victory of magic.

Lin Sen and Yao Ming shook hands: "Next time I go to your place, you can't stop me from slaughtering." ”

Maddy, who was also excellent in this game, also walked up, chatted with Maddy briefly, and walked to the sidelines.

"Wood's performance in this game can only be described as perfect, which is not only reflected in the number of jù, he uses his own state to tell all the magic people, with him, Orlando cannot be underestimated." Kenny. Smith said as he looked at Lin Sen who was walking to the sidelines.

After explaining a few words to Carolina, Lin Sen turned around and walked towards the players' tunnel, and the reporters in the media area were excited one by one.

"Wood, can you tell me where Dwight will be traded?"

"Wood, will Dwight be left out for the rest of the season?"

"Some people say Dwight left because of you, how are you?"

"Is it because you and Dwight are at odds that led to Orlando's predicament some time ago? What is the reason for this, can you tell me? ”

"Wood, Dwight fired David. Falck, does it represent a complete break between him and you? How far do you think Orlando would go without Dwight? ”

……

Lin Sen stopped and frowned. How did he not know that Howard was going to be traded.

Seeing Lin Sen stop, the reporters became even more excited, looking forward to Lin Sen's reply one by one.

"Wood, can you tell me where Dwight will be traded?"

"Insiders have revealed that he will leave the team in the summer, and that he once had a fight with Dennis in the dressing room, is it true?"

Lin Sen looked at the reporters with anticipation in their eyes: "Why I don't know that Dwight is leaving, Dwight is not leaving Orlando." ”

With a simple sentence, after Chen Tian finished speaking, he turned around and walked directly towards the player's tunnel.

No matter how the reporters shouted, Lin Sen did not stop.

"Dwight will definitely be traded away."

"I think so too, why don't we wait and ask the others when we go to the locker room for an interview?"

"That's for sure."

The reporters in the media area made up their minds to dig up the truth. And Otis in the office. Smith called Howard again.

"You're leaving, aren't you?"

Otis. Smith asked straight to the point. Now he thought that what Howard had just said was a lie to him.

"Dwight, you tell me the truth, if you want to go, I'll find a way to send you away, but now is a critical time for the team to make the playoffs and prepare for the playoffs.

Even if you have to go. I also want you and your broker to be mindful of the impact. You should know what we're aiming for this season. ”

Otis. Smith's words left Howard a little confused. Just now he has been with Otis. Smith was largely unanimous.

He'll be back in the team and play well again.

Still aiming for the team to win the championship, Howard didn't know if he could adjust his mentality. But he wanted to try to adjust.

But now Otis . Smith seemed to mean to send him away: "Otis, I don't understand what you're saying.

I was having this idea, but it was only an idea, and I didn't even say it, including with my agent. ”

"Dwight, are you sure you didn't say anything like that?" Otis. Smith asked with confusion, he didn't want Howard to say one thing and do another.

If it's really about saying one thing and doing another, then he and Stan. Van Gundy had the same idea.

That's to prefer to let Howard sit on the bench for the rest of the season with a salary than let him play.

"I'm sure, I didn't say that."

Howard also learned about Otis. Smith shouldn't lie to him, so there's only one possibility, and that's Dan. Fagan let out the rumors outside.

Otis. Smith also thought of Howard's agent, Dan. Fagan, this notorious guy.

"Since you didn't say it, okay, do you go to Washington with the team tonight, or stay in Orlando?" Otis. Smith asked.

Now that Howard has recognized his mistake, he also hopes to show some attitude to alleviate it.

Although Howard has a lot of flaws, there is still a big difference between having and not having for the Magic.

"I want to go to Washington with the team." Howard thought for a moment and added, "I can not play." ”

Listening to Howard Gar's words on the other end of the phone, Otis. Smith felt a little unbearable: "Did you call Sùstan yourself or did I say?" ”

"I'll fight it myself."

Howard hung up and wanted to give Dan. Fagan made a phone call, but the thought of the team flying overnight to Washington, D.C., was now an hour before the game was over and needed to get to the airport.

Howard immediately changed his clothes and headed straight to the center of the water house, while the Magic locker room flooded with reporters.

Without exception, they all wanted to know where Howard was traded, but the result was that Howard would not leave.

The team's unanimous words naturally not only made them unable to believe that Howard would not trade, but also made them more determined to think that Howard would leave the team.

At the post-game press conference, most of the questions from the reporters in the audience revolved around the Magic's recent form and Howard's whereabouts.

This leads directly to zhì stan. Van Gundy and Linson left less than ten minutes after the press conference, even if they were destined to be fined by the league.

This qiē made reporters firmly believe that Howard was leaving the team, and the discussion on the Internet about Howard's departure was even more boiling. Bynum is the one who is thought to be a possible swap with Howard.

In the locker room, everyone packed their things.

Because there are also back-to-back games. The team had to fly to Washington overnight, so instead of going home, everyone took a bus from the stadium to the airport and flew directly to Washington.

When everyone was packed, Lin Sen led everyone to the parking lot.

A tall figure stood next to the team bus, the lights in the parking lot were not particularly bright, but they were familiar to Howard's entire team, and even if the lights were not bright, he could still be seen standing next to the car.

Howard's arrival stunned the whole team for a moment, and no one expected him to be here at this time.

Howard, who was standing on the bus, also felt the surprise of his teammates, and walked over while feeling sad in his heart.

"My injuries are healed, and I want to follow everyone to Washington. Cheer on everyone on the bench. ”

Howard said with a smile. But the smile looked somewhat bitter.

"Now that it's okay, those guys in Washington are going to be out of luck." Lin Sen patted Howard, "Don't stand here, do you want John to wait for us in the car?" He must be in a hurry. ”

Although the atmosphere is somewhat awkward. But Howard was as involved as he could in the middle of the conversation. Slowly, everyone also felt Howard's sincerity.

A short distance to the airport. Although it has not regained the harmony it once was, it has been much better than this time.

But everyone knows that it is not possible to restore the previous state in a day or two, when the plane takes to the sky. After playing a game, the Magic players quickly fell asleep one by one.

Howard, who was only one aisle away from Lin Sen, didn't sleep, and there were many things on his mind.

When the plane arrived in Washington, it was already 1 a.m., and a group of people in a daze got on a bus to the hotel.

Howard's arrival in Washington with the team was beyond the imagination of many reporters. Van Gundy put Howard back on the 15-man squad.

That means Howard is likely to play tonight, which makes Wizards coach Eddie Brown. Jordan was a little nervous.

Even if Howard's appearance during this period is mostly a negative impact on the Magic, after all, Howard has the ability to change the game.

Especially the Wizards' interior is very weak, even this season Brandon. Haywood had the best season of his career, averaging 10 points, seven rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game for the Wizards.

Blazy, an interior bench, also averaged nearly 8 points and 5 rebounds per game, but it was undoubtedly much worse than Howard.

Originally Eddie. Jordan is also counting on taking advantage of the physical disadvantage that the Magic faced in the fourth quarter of yesterday's hard-fought battle with the Houston Rockets to try to win the game at home, and at this moment I can't help but be a little worried when I hear that Howard is on the roster.

At 7 p.m., the game between the Magic and the Wizards kicked off.

Howard did not appear in the starting lineup but sat on the bench off the court, which made Eddie Eddie Brown. Jordan breathed a sigh of relief.

Eddie. What Jordan wants is to try to entangle with the Magic in the first two or even three quarters, and wait until the fourth quarter to seize the Magic's fitness crisis and strike it with all his might.

Eddie. Jordan didn't think well at all, last night's game against the Rockets consumed a lot of physical energy from the Magic, and flying overnight made the team rest up and down.

In the first quarter, the Magic felt bad, and Lin Sen, who scored 42 points, 21 assists and 18 rebounds last night, was also not good.

In Karon. Butler made just one of his four shots, and if it weren't for Milicic's seven points in the first quarter, the Magic could have trailed by double digits in the first quarter.

"Orlando was in terrible shape tonight and this is our chance.

Wood had a dominant night last night, and maybe that game drained all of Wood's energy, but he looked a little struggling today! The local Washington commentator on the sidelines said with a smile.

At the end of the first quarter, the Magic trailed the Wizards by six points at home, and the best player in the Wizards' table was power forward Antoine. Jamison.

In the second quarter of the game, the Magic still didn't get much better, which made Stan off the court. Van Gundy was a little anxious.

Dwight sitting on the bench. Howard watched his teammates on the court play depressed and worried, and he wanted to stand up and sue Sùstan. Van Gundy put him on the pitch.

Lin Sen sat next to Howard, clearly feeling Howard's anxiety.

Howard's inadvertent expression at this moment was completely absent some time ago, and Howard was completely a loner character some time ago.

He also rarely interacts with his teammates on the pitch, and more often reaches for the ball.

This is the Wizards' inside bench on the court to face Eddie. Griffin's defense, a turnaround wipe in for an easy layup.

Looking at Griffin's state, Lin Sen knew that resisting Yao Ming last night consumed too much of his body, and his footsteps were not at all like Eddie's usual ones. Griffin.

With Brazzi's goal this time, the Wizards stretched the margin to two points, which was also the first time in the game that the margin was in double digits.

The whole Wizards' home court burst into laughter, and the cheering became louder.

When there were six minutes left in the second quarter and the first half, all the main players of the Magic except Lin Sen had already appeared, but the point difference still did not come back.

Howard, who was beside Lin Sen, frowned, his face completely worried.

Standing up, Lin Sen walked over to Stan. By Van Gundy's side, Lin Sen's actions attracted the attention of many people.

Wood stands up and walks over to Stan's side, he seems to be going to say something to Stan, is he going to play? This time period has indeed come for him to play. The Wizards commentator said.

Stan. Van Gundy listened to Linson's words and glanced at the bench behind him. Howard looked at the court with a worried expression.

"Stan, trust him, we don't have a better way now, do we?" Lin Sen said softly.

Stan. Van Gundy nodded, if Howard is still the same after he comes on, then he will continue to block Howard.

"Dwight is ready to play with Wood!"

Howard couldn't believe his ears at all.

"Dwight stands up, is he going to play?" The narrator said.

After the dead ball, Linson appeared with Howard.

Linson pulled the ball and stood one step outside the three-point line.

For Linson Caron. Butler still continued the defense in the first quarter, and he knew that Linson's three-point shooting was very accurate, so he didn't dare to let go of Linsen and immediately clinged to it.

Just when Butler was pressing, Lin Sen made a fierce sprint, completely close to Butler's acceleration, and Butler immediately took a step back.

Seeing Butler's retreat, Linson immediately responded.

With his left hand, he slapped the ball and it bounced behind his back.

Catching the ball with his right hand, he retreated at the same time, and just withdrew to the three-point line with his right hand to raise the ball, and the ball left Linsen's palm and went straight to the inside.

The basketball left Linsen's fingers and arced through the attention of the fans.

Haywood marks Dwight. Howard turned around and moved Haywood out of the way, followed the flying basketball arc, and jumped high after taking a big step.

When Dwight. When Howard reached his highest point, the ball came right in front of him.

Grabbing the ball with both hands, he smashed it directly into the basket.

Syllable!

The hoop roared as Howard pulled it! (To be continued......)
