The convulsion superstar of basketball

Chapter 351. Public Enemy: The Undefeated Golden Body

February 11.

With the Magic's victory over the Cavaliers in yesterday's game, this not only brought the Magic's record to 6 wins and 0 losses, leading the league without any suspense.

In addition, the Magic has become the only team among the 30 teams that has not experienced a loss this season.

However, in the last game, although the Magic defeated the Cavaliers without any risk, after the game, the Magic fans felt very angry.

Most people began to attack the referee and the Cavaliers from the Internet, and many fans even edited the referee's misjudgment in the last game into a video.

Then it was directly posted to the NBA Referees Association, saying that the referee who whistled the game between the Magic and the Cavaliers was definitely suspected of gambling.

Otherwise, how could it be possible to blow so frantically during the game.

In other words, if it weren't for Su Jiu's continuous scoring at the last moment to help the Magic stabilize the situation.

Then relying on the referee's two key offensive calls in the second half of the fourth quarter, the Magic is likely to be overturned by the Cavaliers.

So after the game, although the Magic relied on their own excellent strength, they finally won the game without any risk.

But for the fans of the Magic, they obviously couldn't bear the bad breath, because all this was as disgusting as eating flies.

And so far, the only team left in the league that has not lost is the Magic.

So as the Magic defeated the powerful Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference in the last game, fans of other teams in the league obviously could no longer remain calm at this moment.

Because the dominance shown by the Magic in the new season is too strong, and even this kind of dominance makes both East and West feel trembling.

Many fans even said that after the start of the game, both the Lakers and the Cavaliers lost in front of the Magic. Then in the new season, who can stop the Magic from the ground.

Because before, some fans on the Internet had posted a post, openly discussing which team can become the first team to defeat the Magic in the new season.

At that time, the popularity of this post was very popular, and many fans left their thoughts under this post.

And as the Magic once again defeated the league's powerful Cavaliers yesterday, this undoubtedly made this problem even more confusing.

Because in the future, the Magic are already not too strong a team in terms of schedule.

At least in the short term, the Magic's opponent will be a team that was outside the playoffs last season, or on the verge of the playoffs.

It can be said that in the Magic's next five games, three of them failed to enter the playoffs last season.

And the strongest opponent is the Mavericks, who ranked sixth in the Western Conference last season.

Under such circumstances, how much the Magic will increase their winning streak in the new season to experience their first loss of the season is undoubtedly a hot topic at present.

…………

In the next two games, the Magic defeated the Walmiki Bucks and the Wizards in away games.

He raised his personal record in the new season to eight wins and zero losses, but still failed to suffer the first defeat of the season.

Among them, in the game against the Bucks, the Magic beat the Bucks by 37 points throughout the game, and it can be said that they did not encounter any pressure throughout the game.

In particular, Bogut, the top pick of the Bucks, was hoisted up and beaten by Howard.

After only playing for 21 minutes, Howard was beaten to six fouls and left the court. In the end, he was forcibly blown by the referee for a technical foul because he threw a towel angrily off the court.

Originally, after the start of the new season, Bogut's personal injury recovery was relatively good.

The whole person also scored an average of 15+10 double-doubles in these few games at the beginning of the season, as if all this is developing in a beautiful direction.

But Bogut's mouth really deserves a beating. Before the game with the Magic, Bogut openly provoked Howard in an interview with the media.

If he is healthy, he will definitely be the best center in the East. Even if O'Neal meets him, he can only stay away.

And the Bucks will become the team that sent the Magic to their first defeat in the new season.

Of course, if it's just like this, then the Magic will not go all out to deal with this game. After winning 20 points, they will still send their main players to slaughter.

It's really because the Bucks are not just Bogut alone, Jennings is also a tough group at point guard.

Before the game, he not only strongly agreed with Bogut's personal opinion, saying that the Bucks will definitely defeat the Magic.

In the same way, he kept implying that Su Jiu was just lucky by stepping on one and belittling the other. In fact, his personal strength was completely exaggerated by the media.

Facing this pair of talking heads, Su Jiu before the game actually didn't take it seriously at all.

After all, Su Jiu knew too much about Jennings' arrogance.

In his previous life, facing the Heat of the top three giants, this guy dared to openly express in front of the media that he would send the Heat home for fishing within six games.

As a result, we all know what happened later, that is, the Heat easily defeated the Bucks 4:0 in the first round of the playoffs.

It was completely bloodless, and there was no pressure at all. In that round of the series, Jennings' personal shooting percentage was also only more than 30% defended.

However, Su Jiu's personal temper is relatively good, which does not mean that "Warcraft" Howard can be stood on his neck by Bogut to shit.

Facing Bogut's outrageous remarks, Howard immediately began to show off his power in this game. Bogut played at the basket like a bereaved dog, completely losing his temper.

And Su Jiu and others also played for Howard very tacitly, which also led to Howard scoring a total of 33 points, 18 rebounds and 4 blocked shots in the whole game.

As for the 33 points in a single game, it created a new high for Howard in a single game this season.

In the end, Bogut, who had been talking loudly before the game and said he wanted to compete with Howard, left the field with six fouls after playing 21 minutes.

And before leaving the field, the whole person only contributed a dismal number of 5 points and 6 rebounds.

I have to say that although both Bogut and Howard are champions, sometimes Su Jiu really wants to tell him quietly:

"Hey, Bogou, the champion and the champion are actually different..."

As for the next game against the Wizards, the Magic are in trouble.

After the two sides finished the first three quarters, the point difference between the two teams has been hovering around five points.

After all, the Wizards of this season also have the outside three Musketeers General Arenas, Caron Butler and Jamison.

Finally, the addition of the "CBA star" Blatche's inside line will undoubtedly bring a lot of trouble to the Magic.

Well, in fact, in this game, Brac was pushed to the ground by Howard and rubbed crazily.

The reason why the Wizards have been able to keep up with the score is because the general Arenas completed the convulsion in this game.

The whole person is not only flawless outside the three-point line, but basically very efficient.

Throughout the game, basically relying on his own strength, he dragged the Wizards forward with difficulty.

Even in the process, Stan Van Gundy tried to use different people to defend Arenas.

But later, Van Gundy discovered that when Arenas got windy, I am afraid that even "Glove" Payton could only be eclipsed when he came.

Fortunately, thanks to the overall teamwork of the Magic, when Arenas' personal shooting percentage dropped sharply in the fourth quarter, the Magic managed to stabilize the situation at the last moment.

In the end, he defeated the Wizards in the away game without any risk. While winning the eighth consecutive season, he continued to maintain his unbeaten season.

February 11.

After the Magic defeated the Cavaliers, they defeated the Wizards and the Bucks one after another. This undoubtedly made the Magic this season once again the center of the topic.

Although the Magic team has never faded out of people's vision this season, because until now, everyone wants to know when the Magic team will face their first loss in the new season.

And which team will be able to give the Magic their first defeat of the season.

It is worth mentioning that in the eight games after the start of the new season, the players of the Magic have a significant ups and downs compared to last season.

Among them, as the best rookie of last season, Su Jiu's performance this season is still very eye-catching since the start of the season.

Compared with last season, not only has he become a lot more mature, but his offensive efficiency on the field has become very stable.

本赛季截止到目前，苏久场均可以上场34.7分钟，个人能够贡献出24.1分8.3篮板7.4助攻以及1.6次抢断的全面数据。

And at the same time, Su Jiu's personal shooting percentage is still as high as 52.6%, and his three-point shooting percentage is also 40.7%.

It is no exaggeration to say that with Su Jiu's performance in the new season, plus the team's record advantage at this time.

Then Su Jiu will have a great chance to compete for a wave of regular season MVP in the new season.

After all, with the series of operations of each team during the offseason, after the start of this season, the overall level of the league's teams has faced a decline for some reason.

The state and record of each team after the start of the game are obviously unsatisfactory. Of course, this naturally does not include the Magic.

In addition to Su Jiu, Howard has also made some slight progress this season, but this progress only refers to the ability on the field, not the progress in mentality.

Last season, Howard averaged 18.4 points, 12.9 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game during the regular season.

So far this season, Howard has averaged 23.8 points, 13.1 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game.

Although the explosion of this data has a lot to do with the fact that only eight games have been played so far.

But from Howard's performance on the court this season, it is not difficult to see that Howard has really improved again in the new season.

After all, Howard has just turned 24 years old this year. Although this sounds somewhat unbelievable, it is actually the case.

Because Howard entered the league as a high school student, this has led to Howard having been in the league for many years, giving people the impression that he is already a three-year-old player.

But in fact his real age is only 24 years old.

So from this age group, Howard's body is obviously still on the rise.

Even if there are no accidents, then Howard's state may continue for many years.

In addition, in the new season, when someone's status improves, someone's status will naturally decline.

If it comes to decline in state, then Allen Iverson is definitely second to none.

In the last season, Iverson was able to contribute 17.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 2.3 steals per game in the regular season.

After the start of the new season, Iverson's personal data in these eight games is facing a collapse.

在本赛季出场时间只下降了4分多钟的情况下，艾弗森的场均数据却已经是下滑至了10.6分2.4篮板2.8助攻以及1.7次的抢断。

I have to say that when this data appeared on Iverson, it obviously made the fans feel unbelievable.

After all, in the impression of the fans, Iverson has always been a lonely hero who is unruly and unrestrained.

Although he is old, watching Iverson's scoring this season has become more and more difficult, which still makes many fans feel sad.

In fact, it is true. Due to the troubles brought about by age, Iverson's starting speed has become slower and slower.

Even the speed of change of direction that he is proud of has begun to be a little sluggish, which makes it very difficult for Iverson to get into the inside and score as easily as he was young.

After all, in this world, it can be said that there are very few freaks like Jordan and LeBron James, and not everyone can maintain stability for more than ten years.

Most players face a steep decline after turning 33.

It can be said that 33 years old is the first threshold in life for a professional player, 35 years old is the second threshold, and 37 years old is naturally the last threshold.

For players like Iverson who usually use breakthroughs as their main scoring method, their careers wither faster than shooters.

But the good news is that although Iverson's personal ability and physical fitness have already faced an irreversible fact.

But his rich field experience is still able to help these young players in the Magic.

Among them, Su Jiu's gains can obviously be said to be very huge. In the last season, Su Jiu's strength can be gradually improved, which undoubtedly has a great relationship with Iverson and last season's Director Lu.

It is not an exaggeration to say that for the management of the Magic, this may be the main reason why they chose to keep Iverson during the offseason.

After all, the stage belonging to Iverson is far from coming. After entering the playoffs, I believe Iverson will definitely make people feel bright.

In addition to Iverson, Lewis' personal data this season has also shrunk compared to last season.

However, unlike Iverson, Lewis's data has shrunk because of some changes in his player positioning this season.

From the starting No. [-] in the original text to the best sixth man of the season, this undoubtedly requires this "Mr. Billionaire" to make a new adaptation.

Of course, in the beginning, Lewis rejected Van Gundy's arrangement.

However, as Van Gundy promised to give Lewis unlimited shooting rights in the new season, and there would be no significant reduction in playing time, Lewis reluctantly agreed.

In fact, it is true. Last season, Lewis averaged 35.7 minutes per game, and this season, Lewis averaged 33.8 minutes per game.

From the perspective of playing time alone, there is actually not too obvious a decline.

But last season, Lewis averaged 19.7 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.9 assists in the regular season.

After the start of the new season, Lewis' averages dropped to 15.8 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game.

And most importantly, Lewis's average shots per game in the new season has not decreased much compared to last season.

Lewis averaged 15.7 shots per game last season and 13.9 this season.

As for the reason why Lewis's scoring has shrunk, it is actually in his personal shooting percentage.

Lewis' shooting percentage this season has dropped by 5% compared to last season. So far, his shooting percentage is only a poor 42.3%, and his three-point shooting percentage has also dropped to 31.9%.

It has to be said that after the Magic successfully won the championship trophy last season, Lewis has no intention of training this summer.

This situation naturally led to a drop in Lewis's level in the new season, if it weren't for the fact that the Magic's lineup for the new season is indeed relatively luxurious.

Then Lewis will probably bear the abuse from the fans at this point.

After all, regardless of his personal contribution on the court, Lewis' contract can be said to be the biggest one in the Magic at this time.

The last thing I have to say is that thanks to Van Gundy putting Lewis on the bench in the new season, this can find an excuse for Lewis's data decline.

Otherwise, if Lewis still serves as the starter in the new season, then the Magic fans may not be scolding Carter anymore, but this "Mr. Billion".

Similarly, it is not difficult to see at this point that although the Magic in the new season looks very powerful at first glance.

When all teams are in a running-in stage, the Magic have already come ahead of them.

But in fact, if you start to analyze from the inside of the Magic, then in fact, the mentality of the Magic's players has changed a lot this season.

At least it is far from reaching a so-called invincible state.

Because whether it's Howard or Lewis, in fact, the Magic's desire to win in the new season is far less strong than last season.

Perhaps this is the biggest obstacle for the winning team to defend their title in the new season.

At this time, the Magic has become the "public enemy" in the league, if the Magic want to complete the defense in this long season.

So the most important thing to pay attention to is still within the team. As for the Los Angeles Lakers last season, it is obviously a lesson from the past...
