Chapter 362: The Terrifying New Orlando [Asking for Recommendation Votes]

Despite Bryant's title of not being the last to last, in the end he had to compromise with the result.

Lin Sen on Twitter with Megan. Fox reached a date, and Maddie was also with Harry. Berry reached an agreement, and only Bryant was behind Maddie and Linson for almost two days before he succeeded in convincing Vanessa to get the same thing. Dating powers in Ibanks.

When Linson and Megan. Fox was naturally sought after when he appeared in Los Angeles, but no matter how many scandals there were, it was no different from Lin Sen.

And Lin Sen and Megan, who appeared in front of the public very generously. Naturally, Fox disappointed those who were expecting more.

In Linson and Megan. Fox watched the IMAX version of "Transformers" together and had dinner in Los Angeles, two days after the NBA ushered in the new season training camp for each team, and September 23 was the Magic's new season media day.

And this Magic team has been a huge surprise from last season, and last season's players are still with the Magic this season. Howard, Darko. Milicic, Chris. Webb, Grant. Hill, Scotty. Pippen, Dennis. Rodman, Devon. Brown.

Veterans Pippen and Rodman will rarely appear on the team's active roster in the new season, and will basically play the role of assistant coach of the team.

Rookie Rudy, who was bought in the draft. Fernandez will not sign with the Magic until the season because he still has a contract with the original team, so that the team will have Chauncey in the new season. Billups, Dickon Bay. Mutombo, Eddie. Griffin, Sean. Battier, Ron. Artest, Sam. Kassel and Marsin, who will be adapting to the NBDL for a while. Gortat's seven new signings are about the same as those who remained.

For the new season of the Orlando Magic, Orlando multimedia and fans are full of anticipation, although there are strong opponents in the East and West, and there is more than one, but they are all looking forward to the perfect season belonging to the Magic.

The Big Four of Orlando. Straight to the Championship" -- this was the headline on the front page of the Orlando Sentinel on Magic Media Day. And the accompanying cover picture is Lin Sen, Dwight wearing the Magic home team uniform. Howard, Chauncey. Billups, Ron. Artest took a group photo of the four.

"Orlando Dream Sails" -- This is ESPN's senior and famous scout Adam. Claxton's op-ed. And the scouting report before the draft was from Adam. Claxton.

"God can testify that I was in Wood. What Lin said before entering the NBA Draft, my loyal readers must know what I said, and I'm proud that what I said basically came true.

I made it clear about the offense, the defense, the potential, and that's exactly what happened, he showed his talent early, the talent that was different, but as I said, he was supposed to be at odds with the coaching staff because of his shortcomings, so he left Minnesota and came to Orlando.

The difference between Orlando and Minnesota is that they have two different attitudes. One is unbearable and forces him to make corrections, the other will build on his strengths and then slowly let him correct them, and there is no doubt that Orlando is doing the right thing.

I said at the end of that report: 'If you have a coach who understands him and is willing to build a team around him, then you will get something back from him, but you need to be patient and wait for him to grow.' ’

He had unprecedented success last season, but I'd say he's still growing, and despite his impressive numbers, he still needs to grow, and in fact Orlando has given Wood a lot of room to grow, even though I thought it might have been too early to be a leader. As it turns out, I took this for granted, and Rookie Wood did a great job.

All right. Let's get back to the topic, which is Orlando Dream Sail, I don't use the word fantasy very often, but I had to use it for the new magic, in fact I'd rather use the word for the uniform and the coaching staff, well, it's actually more of a uniform group.

They got the perfect players with perfect means, whether it was Chauncey or Ron, they were strong enough but not enough to threaten Wood's team status, and on the contrary, giving Wood more help could make Wood grow faster and better.

I've seen too many articles about how great Orlando is for the new season, but I always feel like I can say something better.

The interior looks exceptionally strong, and the addition of Deacon Bay and Eddie will make their interior bench more secure, but I still want to say that if Dwight can grow well, they are truly worthy of the dream, and as for Dwight, I have to say sorry because I've watched the US Championships, and unless he can make a super breakthrough in August, I have to tell the Orlando fans not to expect too much from Dwight.

Even if his 20+10 regular season is the norm, the arrival of Deacon Bay will reassure me a lot, so Orlando doesn't need to worry about Dwight fouling too much and allowing others to bully him on the inside.

And Darko, yes, this former parallel commodity has become my biggest expectation, because I know all summer that he is improving himself in Orlando, and look at what a hard-working guy he is, and he will continue to regret it in Detroit.

The addition of Ron and Sean has allowed me to make the new season a nightmare for countless defenders, and I can't wait to get the season off to a new level and see two of the top defenders perform together."

As for Chauncey, I don't think there's much to say because he's always underrated, and his arrival will make it easier for Wood to play and more reassuring for the team, and Wood's growth will benefit from him.

Looking at the Orlando lineup, they are enough to rule out two competitive starting line-ups, and they will be one of the most deep teams in the league this season, which will be an important guarantee for them to compete for the O'Brien Cup this season.

As a non-Orlando fan, I am already looking forward to the opening game of the new season, a strong opponent, the Los Angeles Lakers, will test the strength of this Orlando team, win or lose I firmly believe that over time, this half of the new Orlando team will move towards the dream, yes I believe in my vision, because I am Adam. Claxton. ”

As Adam Claxton said. The Orlando Magic's roster depth is definitely top-notch. This season can barely match the Magic.

But for Stan. Van Gundy's coaching staff is a happy one. A new team means a new tactic, and each player should play what role they should play and how long they should play.

For these seemingly simple questions, Stan. Van Gundy has been taking the exam for more than a month.

As the bootcamp unfolded, Stan. Van Gundy also slowly found the starting lineup he had in mind.

And in this lineup, Billups will serve as a double point guard with Linson, Billups undoubtedly took on the role of Tekoglou last season, and Billups's personal ability is undoubtedly stronger than Tekoglu, especially the breakthrough. And that's exactly what magic requires.

Artest's tough defense and chaotic fighting ability are also Stan's. Van Gundy likes that, although Artest sometimes throws around, he is still able to do his job well in his position most of the time, and he will be helping Linson on the defensive end in addition to the offensive in the new season.

Artest and Battier can rotate and play together when necessary, such as against LeBron. James or Kobe. Bryant.

On the inside, there is no suspense about Milicic and Howard partnering, and Grant on the bench. Hill and Battier were important players on the bench, but Stan. Van Gundy wasn't going to make them the team's sixth man, but wanted Billups and Linson, who started the game, to choose to stagger the start and start of the game.

In this way, even if Linson is off the court, the team still has Billups in control to avoid chaos, and can basically meet the point guard position to maintain the intensity in every game. A haode point guard is the brain of a team, and that's why Stan is the brain. Van Gundy and Otis. Smith was a big part of the reason why he signed Billups.

"That's good. Even though Boston and Cleveland are strong, I think we're still the strongest one. ”

"Obviously yes, look at Wood. Lin is too big, look at his shooting is obviously a lot more confident, you must know that this is a two-point shot. "Jeff. Van Gundy looked at his brother Stan. Van Gundy said with some envy.

"Yes, it seems that he has been training with Kobe Bryant and T-MAC very well, and the specific effect will not be known until the game." Stan. Van Gundy nodded and said that Lin Sen's progress was indeed beyond his expectations.

Last season, Linson had a pitiful lack of long-range shots in the regular season, and it wasn't until the second half of the season that there was a little more, but only a little, until the finals, mid-range shots became a kind of offense that was not very useful.

And now Linson has become proficient in using the pull-up jump shot, and even the signature shots of Kobe and Maddy.

After the main lineup and main rotation lineup were determined, the team's targeted tactics were also constantly rehearsed.

The Orlando Magic's preseason season kicks off Oct. 15 and they will need to play six games, but the Magic's schedule will not be easy at all as they will play two games overseas.

They play their first game at the Mizuya Center, where they host the New Jersey Nets, who swept in the first round of last season's playoffs, and then immediately head overseas for their two games.

One is on October 17 at the Taipei Arena, and the other is on October 19 at the Hong Kong Red Pavilion. Bibby's Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics with the Big Three.

These two opponents are also the biggest opponents of the Orlando Magic out of the East in the new season, and although it is a preseason game, the team takes both games very seriously, and the same is true for the other side.

The Magic's opponents, the Cleveland Cavaliers, will also travel to Macau for a game against the Chinese national team, while the Boston Celtics will travel to Manila for a game against the Philippine national team. Stern's important means of expanding the influence of the NBA.

With almost 10 days to go until the start of the overseas competition, tickets for Taipei Arena and Hong Kong Red Pavilion have already gone on sale.

The 14,000 tickets sold out of the 15,000-seat Arena were sold out in less than half an hour, and the 11,000 tickets sold out in 20 minutes were all sold out in 20 minutes.

Such a hot ball market also made countless fans who did not buy tickets beg for extra seats, and finally the Little Arena and the Red Hall decided to temporarily add 2,000 seats, and will use a lottery method to determine who will own it. Such a hot scene is undoubtedly David. Stern would like to see it.

"It's finally time to play. I'm getting rusty. "Ron. Artest shouted as he stared at the calf muscle-building machine.

Lin Sen, who was also doing physical training on the side, looked at Artest's muscles and had to admire Artest's title of beast. Because it does look like a beast.

Lin Sen still remembers the first day he and Artest met, and although the two had played against each other in the past in competitions, opponents and teammates were obviously not the same thing.

Although the two sides are friendly, although everyone is a professional player, Lin Sen knows that with so many new players in the team, Lin Sen must show real strength if he wants to convince the other party that he is the leader of the team, even if the opponent may have seen it on TV before, but this is obviously not the same as direct confrontation.

In the afternoon practice game the next day, when the team officially started training, Linson scored with consecutive mid-range shots in the face of Artest's defense, and after Artest paid attention to the defensive mid-range shot, Linson performed the rollover and back-up jumper he learned from Kobe.

Lin Sen was even more fearless of direct physical confrontation with Artest. Despite the struggle, Linson managed to get away with Artest with his control of the ball, and despite a little stumbling on his feet, Linson finally completed the goal.

And this kind of Lin Sen also made Artest show a heroic smile, and Lin Sen, as the old nature of the team, will not be stingy, and on this night Lin Sen invited the whole team to eat and play nightclubs together.

"It's a good feeling to play, especially since it's a new environment, and I'm looking forward to it, and I'm going to play in a new position." Billups continued.

"Hey, Chauncey isn't a new position, we're dual point guards, it's tactics. We can make the other person have a headache and want to hit the wall. Lin Sen looked at Billups and said with a smile.

Looking at the atmosphere in the physical training room, Stan. Van Gundy was undoubtedly satisfied. This is also what he was worried about before, although the team is strong, but that is only the strength on paper, a team needs to go through a lot of tests to become a real strong team, one of which is the team's unity, and then the run-in expectation, haode chemistry.

Without the heart of unity, it is obviously not possible to fight each other, and with the degree of unity, we can hope that haode run-in will produce haode chemical reaction, and 1+1 is sometimes not >2 can even have the consequence of being less than 2 or even less than 1, but from the magic in training, such a situation is undoubtedly non-existent.

But after all, there is a difference between training and real games, and the entire coaching staff is ready to adapt and find chemistry throughout the preseason and even early in the regular season.

On October 15, at 8 p.m., the Orlando Magic will usher in the first game of the preseason on their home court, and although it is only a preseason game, it will not stop the fans' crazy enthusiasm for the new magic.

Tickets for the Water House Center are sold out, and the Lakers, Rockets, and Celtics in the new season are in much the same situation as the Magic.

The Orlando Magic has the most live broadcasts in the league in the league with 34 live broadcasts in the United States, although Orlando is also a big city in the United States, it is completely incomparable with Los Angeles and New York, but it has received as many as 34 live broadcasts, which is enough to see how popular the Orlando Magic is.

It is worth mentioning that 34 national live broadcasts are also stipulated by the NBA, and a team can only get a maximum of 34 national live broadcasts in a single season.

The Los Angeles Lakers, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Boston Celtics ranked second to fourth in the United States, reaching 30, 28, and 27 respectively.

The sum of the top four live broadcasts also created the largest NBA live broadcast in the past year, which is enough to see the expectations of major TV stations for this year's NBA.

However, in the preseason, there is no national broadcast of the game, only the local TV station in Orlando is responsible for the live broadcast, and fans in other places who want to watch the game can only watch it through the webcast.

"Guys, are you ready, even though it's only pre-season, your new season will start here, ready to take to the field and be cheered on." Stan. Van Gundy clapped his hands.

“GO! GO! GO! "Dwight. Howard shouted with his arms raised in the air, and was the first to run out of the locker room.

In the new season, Lin Sen is still Zuihou, which is also a symbol of the team's status, and Howard, the team's second leader, is the first to play.

Lin Sen, who was standing in the players' tunnel, looked at the black passage and looked forward to a perfect ending to his journey in the new season.

The New Jersey Nets players came out in the midst of the boos of the audience, and the New Jersey Nets have been in trade scandals since the middle of last season. Once upon a time Vince. Carter wants to join the Magic. But in the end, the two sides couldn't hold hands because of the salary.

And the New Jersey Nets have not only not increased the strength of the team, but have lost Eddie. House, Mickey. Moore rotates players for two important teams. Although the team still maintains the Three Musketeers, it is not a problem for them to reach the playoffs, but they have long since withdrawn from the ranks of the real powerhouses.

When the Magic players took the court, they were greeted by the crazy applause of nearly 20,000 fans in the stadium, accustomed to the madness of the Auburn Hills Palace. Billups also felt the different passions of Orlando fans and Detroit fans.

"New Jersey drained Nenad. Kostic, Josh. Boone, Richard. Jefferson, Vince. Carter, Jason. Kidd's starting five, which is just one Josh different from the starting lineup that we swept in the first round of the playoffs last season. Boone.

Let's take a look at our starting lineup for the new season, oh, Dwight and Darko are the new interior starting duo, Chris will contribute Liliang off the bench, Ron instead of Sean up front, Chauncy and Wood on the back line. What a luxurious lineup it is, I can almost yujian it's an Orlando training match. ”

The local Orlando radio announcer was completely one-sided.

Honk!

With a whistle, Howard pulled the ball down without any suspense, and the entire Magic team immediately moved after Linson received the ball.

However, there was no individual single, but the most direct cooperation between the players and the players, almost all of them were one-handed passes, and finally Billups received a pass from Milicic and hit a three-point shot directly.

"It's so beautiful, it reminds me of the team goal in soccer where one touch of the ball ends up being a team goal, and there's no doubt that it's a team goal in Orlando, and the ball stays in everyone's hands for a while."

Compared with the Magic's teamwork, the New Jersey Nets still rely more on the Three Musketeers. But Howard and Milicic formed an inside line from both ends of the offensive and defensive ends to bring Kostic and Josh. Boone exploded into slag.

Vince, who signed a five-year, 80 million contract with the Nets. Carter seemed to want to prove to everyone in front of the Magic fans how wrong it was for the Magic not to pay so much money to sign him, scoring two goals in a row at the beginning, which left Artest in shame.

Artest, who also wanted to show his good form to new fans, immediately turned into a beast. Vince. Carter's offense was immediately curtailed.

And with the help of Billups, Linson is even more relaxed, the most satisfying thing for the coaching staff is undoubtedly the perfect connection between the first team and the second team, Billups played almost five minutes in the first quarter, Artest moved to the point guard, Sean. Battier plays as a small forward.

The appearance of the two top defenders directly made the Nets' Carter and Jefferson play extremely awkward, and the defense of the two plus Milicic and Howard on the inside completely played a 1+1+1+1>4 effect.

In the eighth minute, Linson was replaced by Billups, and Milicic was replaced by Chris. Webb, such a lineup is a little worse on the inside than just now, but the offensive end is not bad at all.

Stan. The coaching staff led by Van Gundy is particularly satisfied with the rotation of the team's first and second teams, of course, they also know that this is only a preseason, and the preseason is a practice lineup, and in the regular season, it may not be able to play as well as it is now.

The New Jersey Nets wanted to prove to their fans that the Nets were still competitive, but the truth was that they suffered a 35-point defeat to the new but qualitatively improved new Magic team at the Waterhouse Center.

No one on the team played more than 23 minutes, with the exception of Pippen and Rodman, and everyone scored and assisted.

Although this is only a preseason game, the Orlando Magic has undoubtedly made all the giants feel a lot of pressure, especially the terrifying depth of the Magic's roster.

On the same day, the Los Angeles Lakers also defeated the Denver Nuggets in the offseason by 22 points, not only did not make up for it, but let the main point guard be signed by the Lakers.

Paul. Gasol, Steve. Blake, Michael. The three big players of Petrus also showed good form, and the Los Angeles media and Oran Media were full of confidence in the new season, and the media of both sides led the war of words to the regular season battle between the two sides early.

However, the Orlando Magic players were leaving the United States, and they boarded a flight to Taipei that night, where Lin Sen was waiting for more than just a game. (To be continued......)
