Chapter 988 The Lucky Orlando Magic



In the end, the Seattle SuperSonics beat the Orlando Magic again with a 26-point difference. Stephen left the field early again, and the data did not increase further. However, Wilt Chamberlain and Magic Johnson won the triple-double twice in the finals. After that, he was the third person, and his two triple-doubles were [-]-[-] points, breaking the record for the highest scoring triple-double in the finals created by Jerry West. Chamberlain and Magic Johnson recorded relatively few triple-doubles.

Every triple-double record is precious. Even Magic Johnson has only won 130 triple-doubles in his entire career, and Oscar Robertson, who averaged triple-doubles throughout the season, only got 180. A triple-double, let alone a triple-double in the playoffs or a triple-double in the Finals.

And Stephen may not be able to catch up with the two of them in the total number of triple-doubles, nor can he catch up with the active Jason Kidd, but his triple-double numbers at critical moments or in important games are as outstanding as Larry Bird or Michael Jordan. He's not known for being an all-around star, but triple-doubles still aren't an issue for him when he wants or needs him to.

Just like what the capable can't do, he disdains or doesn't need to deliberately challenge any records, but these miraculous or great data come to him naturally, which doesn't need to be deliberately pursued.

With two big victories and consecutive triple-doubles, Stephen's reputation once again resounded throughout the entire basketball world. The status of the superstar and the No. They were full of praise, and when they mentioned Stephen, they regretted not being able to live in the same era as Stephen. Of course, these people were the winners of the era, but those losers dared not bring up such a topic. [

Generally speaking, those who dare to speak casually in the media are usually the so-called winners who ruled an era, while those who are losers usually don’t talk about such topics, such as John Stockton, that I am afraid that he is the double king of total assists and total steals in the history of the league, and he will not express any opinions to the media. At the same time, although Patrick Ewing is still active in the basketball field, he is also very rare. Ask a question, even if it involves the New York Knicks.

Except for people like Charles Barkley who are relatively shameless because of professional needs, most people who have not been very successful in their careers will not come to show off.

In particular, Stephen may become the ruler of an era, and his achievements are limitless. At this time, what can be compared with Stephen is not only the level of Hall of Fame players or the top [-] superstars, but the level of kings.

Although some players have excellent statistics, they do not have a championship or other personal honors such as the most valuable player in the regular season, while some players have championships or honors such as the most valuable player in the regular season, but they have not been able to win. Such a player is naturally embarrassed to stand up and say something with his personal data.

Although Stephen is young, he doesn't mention any of the personal honors he should have. The two most valuable players in the finals are very likely to get the third; the two most valuable players in the regular season; the most valuable players in the All-Star Player; the best defensive player, basically the honors that individuals should have, Stephen has a lot of one, and already has two championships in hand, and is very likely to win the third, for a player who has only four years of career For him, it is already very rare. Only Magic Johnson has achieved such a huge achievement as soon as he entered the league.

Stephen seldom responds to these comments of explicit praise and implicit praise. Even when he is forced to do so sometimes, he responds to the praises of these seniors in a modest tone. Stephen really doesn't care about these. It's important, but for players who have reached his level, there is no need to rely on hype to increase their popularity. Even if some unscrupulous guys try to provoke themselves to improve themselves, Stephen still depends on whether the other party is qualified to let him respond Well, if it's the kind of rookie who is really talented and talented, Stephen doesn't mind teaching him a lesson to make him realize that the world is far more cruel than he thought. For those arrogant people who only talk about it, Stephen doesn't even Respond lazily.

The day after the end of the second game, all members of the Sonics arrived at Orlando International Airport. As the busiest airport in Florida, even in the early morning, it is noisy here, because Orlando has the world's largest airport. Disney theme park, so there are a lot of tourists here, especially tourists from Asia and China. When the supersonic team's special plane arrived at the airport, a plane from China happened to land here. They saw Yao Mingna from a distance. The tall figure suddenly shouted loudly, and the security guards at the airport hurried over to stop them. It would be troublesome if they ran over, so Stephen and the others got on the bus immediately.

"Did you see that Brother Yao has far more fans in China than I do? In the past, Stephen told them how famous Yao Ming was in China, but many of them did not believe it.

Yao Ming scratched his head and said depressedly: "It's because I am eye-catching, not because I am famous."

"Brother Yao, the giraffe is the only creature on earth that can be taller than you." Coupard also joked about Yao Ming.

"No, there are elephants." Kevin Durant also said on the side.

"Serge, come back and lead the elephant from your house to compare with Brother Yao." Russell Westbrook also joined in the fun, and Yao Mingguang was left smiling.

The atmosphere in the Sonics team was very relaxed, and they didn't pay much attention to the third game against the Orlando Magic. It is true that the first two games were won too easily, and it felt like they didn't exert much effort. The two games Just take it down, why don't the players of the Sonics despise it.

This kind of atmosphere is neither good nor bad. If it can be controlled well, it will not cause any major damage to the team. Similarly, this is also an expression of self-confidence, especially for young players. Said that in this relaxed and confident atmosphere, it is easier to get a good performance.

As soon as the Orlando Magic returned to Orlando, they began to summarize after the game and conduct mobilization discussions. After all, they returned to their own home court. Even if they lost this series in the end, at least they could not be swept away. For the sake of dignity , That is to say, for the sake of face, they must also win a victory. With constant mobilization, the morale of the Orlando Magic has picked up again.

At this time, even the fans in Orlando don't have so much hope for the championship, but again, they are not reconciled to being swept away, so fans go to the team to cheer every day.

The history of the Orlando Magic is very short. It was one year later than the Miami Heat and the Charlotte Hornets (now the New Orleans Hornets). It entered the league in the same year as the Minnesota Timberwolves, but it became a league within a few years of its establishment. One of the strong teams.

Because they won the No. [-] pick for the first time, they selected one of the strongest players in history, Shaquille O'Neal. Although they did not enter the playoffs that year, they had the best record among the teams that did not enter the playoffs. In this case, they have the lowest probability of getting the No. [-] lottery, but they used the lowest probability to get the No. [-] lottery again, and then they used the No. [-] pick to select the favorite Chris Webber of the Golden State Warriors. Here came their favorite "Penny" Hardaway and three first-round picks.

Shaquille O'Neal and Penny Hardaway entered the playoffs in the first season of cooperation, and entered the finals in the second season. It is a pity that they encountered "Big Dream" Olajuwon and "Glider" Dray Kesler's Houston Rockets. [

Shaquille O'Neal was still a little immature in front of "The Dream" Olajuwon, and eventually lost the finals. In the following third season, they met the Chicago Bulls led by the comeback Michael Jordan. Was eliminated in the Eastern Conference finals, and then Shaquille O'Neal was lured away by the Los Angeles Lakers to leave Orlando. The two cores Grant Hill and Tracy McGrady established by the Orlando Magic were both trapped in injuries. He won the No. [-] lottery again and selected Dwight Howard, and then ushered in his own revival again.

I have to say that the Orlando Magic, which has been in the league for less than 20 years, is a very lucky team.
