The convulsion superstar of basketball

Chapter 342 341. The "trench" of the preseason opener is inhumane! ! (4.5K words ask for a monthly ticket)

February 8.

In the past few days, the Magic have actively contacted in the free market.

Although the big fish in the free market have already been looted by other teams when the free market just opened.

But so far, the Magic has less than 15 players in the lineup, so in the free market, the Magic are still screening.

I plan to make the last wave of reinforcements for the new season's championship lineup.

Among them, during this period of time, the Magic also successively signed CBA star Brandon Bass and "disturbed element" Anthony Johnson.

And when Su Jiu saw the name Anthony Johnson, he was obviously taken aback.

Fuck, did the team sign a player, or did they sign a security guard? ! !

What's the matter?Could it be that he was afraid that someone would play a trick on the way to defending the title, so he specially signed a thug? ! !

Although Su Jiu was stunned for a moment when he saw the name Anthony Johnson, but after thinking that this was his teammate, Su Jiu nodded thoughtfully.

"Well... so I don't have to be afraid of being beaten in the new season!!!"

...............

February 9.

As time entered September, the holidays of Su Jiu and others were gradually gone, because in the future, everyone in the team would fall into endless training.

For the journey of the new season, warm up in advance, and develop in advance for the road to consecutive championships in the new season.

It can be said that everyone in the Magic team started a life-threatening training in September. Even Howard, who was a fun player, started crazy ironing at this time, immersing himself in the joy of ironing.

Is this love? !

Is this to attack the self-consciousness of consecutive championships? !

Do not! !

It's just that I played too much during the offseason and gained weight, so I finished losing weight before the start of the season...

Throughout September, the Magic's training schedule can be said to be full, because at this stage, the players not only need a lot of iron training to lose as much fat as possible during the offseason.

The most important thing is that the Magic team this season can be said to have many brand new faces, so in this case, the players of the Magic team are bound to adjust the lineup for the new season.

And since Turkoglu left the Raptors, the Magic's style of play next season will definitely undergo some subtle changes.

Although it is not enough to say that it is completely overturned and restarted, at least in a short period of time, the Magic may have some uncomfortable situations.

If Turkoglu's departure had the greatest impact on anyone, it would definitely be Su Jiu.

After all, when Turkoglu plays next to Howard, he is at best a three-point shooter responsible for opening up space.

But only when Tegru and Su Jiu are on the court at the same time, can he play his role on the field and make his role reach a limit.

It is no exaggeration to say that Turkoglu was able to sign a big contract in this offseason, so the cooperation with Su Jiu in the finals must have played a vital role.

Without Su Jiu, Turkoglu's value would not be so great, let alone being robbed by many teams in the league.

Because only when Su Jiu played off the ball, Turkoglu could show all his characteristics in a team like the Magic.

So when he learned that Turkoglu would leave the team next season, Su Jiu felt a little pity.

After all, Su Jiu and Turkoglu not only have a tacit understanding of cooperation on the field, but Turkoglu also takes good care of Su Jiu on weekdays off the field.

Especially during the period when Su Jiu just entered the league, if Turkoglu had not warmly accepted Su Jiu like a big brother, then I believe that Su Jiu would not be able to integrate into the collective of the Magic team in a short period of time.

But Su Jiu knows that the business league is like this, whether a player leaves or not depends entirely on his commercial value.

Since Turkoglu helped the Magic win the championship last season, so this summer, Turkoglu, who is a free agent, will inevitably continue to rise in value.

In this case, if the Magic want to keep Turkoglu, the price they have to pay is simply too high.

In addition to directly locking up the team's salary space, it will also delay the team's subsequent reinforcements.

So under repeated weighing, the Magic management had to reluctantly give up the contract match for Turkoglu.

But fortunately, after the team got Grant Hill through a trade, they signed the forward defensive general Marion from the free market.

In fact, from an objective point of view, the Magic's lineup in the new season is still terrifying.

Howard, Iverson, Carter, Su Jiu, Lewis, Marion, White Chocolate, Gortat, Ryan Anderson and Brandon Bass and others.

The team not only has potential rookies like Su Jiu, but also experienced veterans like White Chocolate Williams and Iverson.

Finally, coupled with a large number of players who are just at the peak of their careers, this is also the first step to keep the Magic's strength in the league in the new season.

And the reason why these players with a huge age gap all gathered together and practiced crazily throughout September.Naturally, I hope to be able to complete the defense next season! !

February 10.

At the beginning of October, the NBA preseason schedule has been fully arranged, and all teams will warm up for the new season in the preseason.

And after half an offseason of tempering, many people in the Magic team have become stronger and stronger at this moment, among which Howard and Su Jiu are the most obvious.

Looking around, Howard and Su Jiu are a whole circle larger than last season.

Especially Su Jiu, Su Jiu's original height and weight can be regarded as relatively strong for the position of point guard.

After half the offseason of iron training, the current Su Jiu looks like a devil with muscles in terms of body shape.

But looking at it as a whole, Su Jiu seems to have gained more than ten kilograms, but in fact, Su Jiu's weight has only increased to 94 kilograms at this moment.

It can be said that in terms of maintaining his body, Su Jiu did quite well in the second half.

Throughout September, Su Jiu almost vomited out all the food she ate in the two months of July and August.

But fortunately, before the start of the new season, Su Jiu finally appeared in front of the fans with a brand new look.

Today, the Magic will welcome their first opponent in the preseason, the Cleveland Cavaliers! !

It can be said that the alliance has absolutely mastered this kind of love-hate relationship story very well.

What's more, as a commercial league, the NBA is very aware of the importance of howling heads, so in the first matchup of the preseason, the league arranged for the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have a close relationship with the Magic, to play against it.

Although this is just a preseason game, the entire Orlando arena is basically full at the moment.

Because for these fans who have not watched NBA games for nearly four months, the first game of the Magic at home is definitely to come to watch it live, even if it is just a preseason game.

And although this is just a preseason game, the strength of the two sides will certainly not be as strong as in the official game, but the lineup of the Magic this season is very interesting.

Whether it is Howard, Iverson or Vince Carter, these are very popular stars today.

Of course, when it comes to popularity, Su Jiu, who just won the best rookie last year, must be added.

It's just that although Su Jiu's performance in the rookie season was very explosive, but in the second season of his career, no one can predict whether Su Jiu's performance will continue to rise this year.

After all, the fans have seen too much about the kind of rookie who is the peak of his debut.

Although for the local fans in Orlando, they firmly believe that Su Jiu will continue his state and become better and better.

But this kind of thing can often only be a guess before the start of the new season.

It can be said that when the Magic team appears in front of people with such an appearance in the new season, it is difficult for this Magic team to dislike fans.

Before the start of the game, the entire Orlando Arena was already in a heated atmosphere, and all the fans seemed to have endless topics to talk about sitting together.

After all, for the arrival of this game, they have been waiting for nearly four months.

And in the new season, Magic players are not the only ones who fantasize about defending the title. For Orlando and fans who support the Magic, impacting the consecutive championship dynasty is obviously also an unavoidable topic.

Under the lively atmosphere of the entire Orlando arena, the two teams were warming up for shooting before the game.

For the Cleveland Cavaliers, last season seemed like a nightmare.

Even though they won the league's No. [-] record in the regular season last season, with the hopes of all Cleveland fans, they will attack the stage of the finals.

In fact, this is indeed the case. After the Cavaliers entered the playoffs, the entire Cavaliers are still invincible in a state of invincibility.

Just when more and more people began to believe that the Cavaliers will return to the finals stage this year, and even hope to win the championship trophy.

The Cleveland Cavaliers met the Magic who also wanted to enter the finals on the stage of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Originally, for this series of duels, outside experts agreed that it would be a battle between dragons and tigers, and it was even possible to reach the tiebreaker.

But the final outcome far exceeded people's expectations, making people feel incredible, and it made the Cavaliers suffer from fans' abuse and accusations throughout the offseason.

That is, the Magic swept the Cavaliers miraculously 4:0 in the Eastern Conference Finals, giving the Cavaliers no hope of a comeback at all.

You know, the Cavaliers are No. [-] in the league in the regular season, and in the regular season match between the two sides, the Cavaliers also tied with the Magic with a record of one win and one loss.

And before the start of this round of the series, the support rate for the two teams to reach the tie-break was as high as 46.2%, which was more than 12 percentage points higher than the second-ranked six games.

As a result, as soon as the series between the two sides started, the result shown by the outside world turned into a one-sided situation.

The Cavaliers will spend a lot of money to introduce O'Neal during this offseason, hoping to avenge the Magic in this year's playoffs.

After all, a large part of the reason why the Cavaliers faced a loss last year was because when Howard attacked inside, there was simply no player on the team who could compete with him.

So in this offseason, the first goal of the Cavaliers' reinforcement is the center position, and it also introduced the Shaquille O'Neal.

Even though Shark O'Neal has entered the twilight years of his career, he is not inferior to Howard in physical confrontation.

The reason why so many fans came to watch this game is not only because the Magic itself is a team that attracts fans very much.

There are also many fans who plan to take a look at the duel between the former league's No. [-] center and the current league's No. [-] center.

Let's see if the old Shaquille O'Neill can still withstand the Warcraft coming out of the cage in the penalty area.

And Howard, who is at the peak of his career.And whether it can withstand the rampage of old sharks.

It can be said that although this is just an indiscriminate matchup in the preseason, from the outside world's point of view, this game is simply very interesting.

I have to say that in terms of making howls, the NBA is definitely a well-deserved Nanbowan! ! !

Before the start of the game, the two sides announced their starting lineups respectively:

Cavaliers:

Mo Williams, Anthony Parker, James, JJ Hickson, and "Shark" O'Neal.

Magic:

Su Jiu, Iverson, Carter, Marion, and Howard.

In this game, the Cavaliers chose to send a two-tower lineup, which seems to be to facilitate the flanking of Howard in the interior, so as to use the strength of the two to weaken Howard's dominance at the basket as much as possible.

However, when the Cavaliers put up this lineup on the court, the disadvantages on the offensive end are also very obvious.

That is, the space that can be opened by LeBron James will become limited, which will cause the inside line to be too crowded, making it impossible for James to complete the kill more comfortably.

On the other hand, for the Magic, as the fans expected before the game, Iverson, Carter, and Howard, the three all-star ticket kings in history, really started at the same time.

With this set of starting lineup on the field, regardless of what the run-in between these people can look like, just talk about the viewing level of the game, fans will definitely be willing to spend money to come to watch the scene.

For no other reason, just one word, "value"! ! !

And in addition, in the starting fourth position, head coach Stan Van Gundy chose Marion, who just joined the Magic this year, instead of "Mr. Billion" Lewis.

It seems that Van Gundy's plan is to strengthen the defensive ability on the field, so as to achieve a state of offensive and defensive balance as much as possible.

After all, compared to Marion, although Lewis' offensive ability will be more prominent, but his defensive ability in the fourth position is helplessly in a colander state.

So when the opposite striker is LeBron James with a very strong breakthrough ability, it will obviously be a wiser choice for Marion to start the game.

Finally, with Marion serving as the starting lineup of this game, this also means that "Mr. Billion" Lewis will come off the bench in this game.

As for this scene, many fans on the Internet began to ridicule:

"Hehe, the Magic will definitely be the most wealthy team in the league this season!!"

"Leaving aside the three All-Star vote champions in the starting lineup, Lewis, who has signed a contract worth over [-] million yuan, can only play as a substitute in this team."

"Let me just ask, regarding this point, which team in the league dares to fight with it!!"

"This is simply "trench" and inhumane!!!"
