O'Neal's public overture to Carter earned him a warning and a fine from the league, but the most important thing for New Jerseyans was that Carter did not directly refuse. At the same time, Nets owner Laettner, who had not been in front of the media for a long time, publicly expressed his disapproval of the team in an interview with reporters.
Disappointment...
Subsequently, the "Orlando Sentinel" broke the news that there will be turmoil in the top management of the Nets. The current team general manager Ed Stefanski will most likely be fired, and the "New York Post" even revealed that Jia
Jason Kidd will be sent to the Los Angeles Lakers to join forces with Kobe Bryant, or he will return to the place where his career began and the Dallas Mavericks will trade for Devin Harris and any player except Nowitzki and Josh Howard.
The players' mentality was chaotic, there was turmoil in the top management, and head coach Frank himself was beginning to become disappointed.
On the night of May 1st, the San Antonio Spurs, third in the Western Conference, defeated the Denver Nuggets, the golden double spearhead formed in the middle of the season, 96-89 on the road, bringing the total score to 3:1.
In another highlight game on the same night, the Houston Rockets returned home after losing two consecutive away games and defeated the Jazz 96-92, taking a 3-2 lead in the first round of the playoffs.
It has also become the only team this season that is so anxious in the first round. Other than that, other teams are about to be eliminated.
"The Worst First Round of the Playoffs" - "Yahoo Sports" even used this title to describe the first round of this year's playoffs as being too dull.
Under such circumstances, the Orlando Magic ushered in their fourth game against the New Jersey Nets. The refunds from New Jersey fans undoubtedly fulfilled the Magic fans who wanted to buy tickets.
"Is this still New Jersey's home court? Why do I see so many fans cheering for the Magic?" Kenny Smith said in surprise.
Especially the New Jersey stadium was almost full of Magic fans. Various cheering slogans could be seen everywhere. Many fans directly declared a 4-0 sweep. The expressions on the faces of the Magic players were also very relaxed. In contrast to the faces of the New Jersey players.
It's much more serious.
"New Jersey has been too chaotic recently. The team's 0:3 deficit and close to being eliminated has accelerated the outbreak of conflicts within their team. In the middle of the season, we heard that Vince and Jason, whose contracts had expired, would be traded.
They left the team at the same time before the trade deadline, but it is foreseeable that this playoff trip will definitely separate them." Charles Barkley said.
Almost no one thought the New Jersey Nets could win under such circumstances, and the game began under such circumstances.
The Nets' performance exceeded everyone's expectations. They seemed not to be affected by the turmoil at all and instead played extra hard.
The young Orlando Magic did not expect that the Nets players would use their lives, especially on the defensive end, they would defend at all costs. In the first quarter of the game, Stan Van Gundy called two timeouts but still had no effect. If it were not for the veteran Ke
Reece Webber The Magic will fall behind by 20 points in the first quarter.
"I really didn't expect that Orlando only scored 17 points in the first quarter, while New Jersey scored 32 points. I would never have imagined it before the game." Kenny Smith looked at the big screen with an incredible look on his face.
"Tonight Orlando thought they would definitely win against the turbulent New Jersey, but they didn't expect that New Jersey, led by Jason, did not surrender but chose to stand and die even if they were defeated. Look, Jason played a full 10 seconds in the first quarter.
With 6 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, I have no doubt that tonight will be Jason’s triple-double night.
The 15-point difference is not big, but the key is for Orlando to recognize itself in the next three quarters and regain morale. However, once you are discouraged by your opponent in a basketball game, it is difficult to quickly regain your form, especially for young people.
The passion of our team disappears as quickly as it comes, and the key is for someone to step up." Charles Barkley added.
"What you said, Charles, is good, but Wooden Lin played really badly tonight. Is it because there are not so many beauties on the sidelines? There seems to be only Carolina and Natalie today. They can't count on them."
Chris has become the Chris he was three years ago, and we can't expect Scotty, Dennis, and Eddie to return to ten years ago.
Stan seems to be losing his temper, and I wonder if this tantrum will be as ineffective as the two timeouts in the first quarter." Kenny Smith said while looking at the Magic bench.
"What are you playing? Even a piece of shit can play better than you? I'm blushing for you. Don't you feel ashamed watching Chris fight so hard?" Stan Van Gundy sprayed every player with his saliva.
on the face.
The entire Magic team has never seen such an angry Stan Van Gundy. At this time, Howard accidentally peeked into the audience and Stan Van Gundy saw it. His anger suddenly directed his body: "Dwight, if I
It's you and I will just push my head under the floor now. It feels very comfortable to have an old guy like Jason pick off a rebound on my head, right?"
Lin Sen lowered his head. He was really relaxed at the beginning tonight, but then after the Nets got a feel for it, he tried to play hard but his hand was really not good.
"Wood, you are the leader of the team, right?" Stan Van Gundy stared at Linson and said.
Lin Sen raised his head and looked at Stan Van Gundy: "Yes."
"Very good, now that you know you are the leader of the team, what should you do? You saw what Bryant and Steve did in their games, and what about you? Don't you take action if you feel bad? Are you worried about it?
Lowering your super high efficiency?" Stan Van Gundy said sarcastically.
Lin Sen naturally knew that Stan Van Gundy said this for his own good, and although what Stan Van Gundy said was wrong, he did not dare to take random shots after missing a few shots, fearing that if he failed to score, it would affect the team.
"Stop worrying about your shit and stand up when the team is in a bad situation. This is what a leader should do. If you can't do it, then don't take the responsibility." After Stan Van Gundy said this, he turned to look at the others.
.
"Now you guys are going out. I hope to see a different Orlando instead of turning into a piece of shit like they did." Stan Van Gundy said angrily.
When the two-minute intermission was over, the Magic's starting five players in the first quarter had all sat off the court. Veterans Grant Hill and Dennis Rodman came on with the team's bench, while the New Jersey Nets led Vince
Carter led the second team. Obviously the Nets wanted to use the team's lead to further expand their lead and win this game.
"Vince is still in excellent condition. He broke away from Devin's defense and rushed directly to the inside." Charles Barkley shouted loudly, and saw Vince Carter rushing to the inside with the ball, and only Dennis Rodman was inside.
The presence.
Carter glanced at Rodman and instead of choosing a pull-up jump shot, he chose to rush to the basket and dunk to complete the offense.
"Well, Vince wants to attack Dennis' defense. Dennis is not the Dennis he was ten years ago. Will he become Vince's background?" Kenny Smith said as he looked at Vince Carter who was rushing inside.
Dennis Rodman, who had colorful hair, looked at Vince Carter who was rushing toward him, sneered, and moved his steps, waiting for Carter's arrival.
After Carter took off, Rodman did not take off directly but waited a moment before jumping up.
"Dennis didn't dodge. Dennis is still so proud, but he's not like he was ten years ago." Before Kenny Smith could finish his words, Carter flew toward Rodman and fell to the floor like a downed plane.
Bang!
Carter fell heavily to the floor, and Rodman was also knocked out and fell heavily to the floor.
Rodman rejected Pippen's offer, stood up and glared at Vince Carter: "Boy, don't even think about running wild on my territory!"
"Oh, Dennis's foul was really serious. Listening to the boos, it seems that the Nets fans are very dissatisfied with the referee's decision." Kenny Smith said.
"I'm worried about Dennis' health. He is not a young man. Falling to the floor so hard is no joke, but I can understand Dennis. He is a proud guy, and Orlando is in trouble now. They
They need to be inspired to fight. A veteran like Dennis can stand up at all costs. Young players should see this." Barkley looked at Rodman standing proudly under the basket and said.
"I'm blushing for you, Dennis can do this to you?" Stan Van Gundy sneered. Lin Sen looked at Rodman on the court and felt blushing. Even Rodman can do this. What about him? Afraid of missing a shot?
"Coach, I want to play!" Lin Sen stood up and walked to Stan Van Gundy.
"Wood stood up. What did he want to do? He seemed to be talking to Stan." Charles Barkley said while looking at the sidelines.
"You want to play?" Stan Van Gundy looked at Lin Sen and sneered.
"Stan doesn't seem to be very satisfied. Look at his expression. Could it be that Wood and Stan had a conflict because the team was lagging behind?" Kenny Smith also looked at the Magic bench, "When he was in Minnesota, Wood was exposed and had a conflict with De
Vin. Casey had a conflict and was then sent away. Could it be that he and Stan are now having a conflict?"
Carter's free throws on the court were even ignored. Nets fans naturally saw this and they sincerely hoped that Linson and Stan Van Gundy would fall out, so that the team would have greater hope of winning.
"Yes, I want to play." Lin Sen said firmly.
"Are you sure it's not a joke that you came on the field? Orlando doesn't need a timid and weak leader to come on the field, that would become a joke." Stan Van Gundy scoffed, but he already felt the difference in Lin Sen.
At this time, Grant Hill organized the team's offensive breakthrough and passed the ball to Pippen. After receiving the ball, Pippen did not shoot but rushed directly to the inside.
"Um, what does Scotty want to do? Dunk? God, what happened today? Orlando really needs the old guys to step up and boost the team's morale. If Wood has a conflict with Stan at this time, he is really not doing it.
It’s true, I feel worthless for the old guys.” Barkley, who has always been on Lin Sen’s side, said.
Even though Krstic's defense was in place, Pippen still dunked to the basket without hesitation, but Krstic's thug foul caused Pippen's dunk to miss the frame.
But Pippen's behavior undoubtedly made everyone admire him, and everyone looked to the sidelines. Just as Barkley said, the veterans on the court were working hard. As the team leader, Lin Sen is really not qualified to be a leader if he gets emotional.
"I'm sure!" Lin Sen said, staring into Stan Van Gundy's eyes.
Van Gundy looked at Linson and said nothing. At this time, Pippen stood on the free throw line.
"I don't regret my decision to replace Devin, let alone that Orlando found a false leader."
After hearing Van Gundy's words, Linsen did not speak but walked directly to the sidelines. (To be continued.
