"After the end of the first quarter, I still feel that the Magic's performance can be described as incredible."

"It's hard to imagine that without Rashad, this team can still have such high competitiveness."

"Su's growth is really too fast. What I'm even thinking about now is not whether Su can become a star in the future, but when Su can become a star, haha."

After the first quarter, Mark Woodson also joked with his partner, but he always expressed his optimism about Su Jiu from his words.

After returning from the second quarter, the two sides also sent most substitutes to compete.

In the competition of substitute lineups, the Nuggets can be said to have a slight advantage, and even if they play well, they may show a crushing momentum.

As for the reason, it is not because the Nuggets' substitute lineup has a deep bench strength, but just because there is a player named JR Smith sitting on the bench of the Nuggets.

What's more, in addition to having the super scorer, JR Smith, Linas Kreza on the Nuggets' bench, is also not underestimated.

This name is probably unfamiliar to most fans in the NBA, but as a Lithuanian, Linas Kreza is definitely a star in the Lithuanian basketball world.

Even in Europe, it also has its own great reputation.

As a forward player who is only 2 meters and 3 meters tall but weighs 114 kilograms at his peak, Kreza's physical condition is very outstanding.

It can also be regarded as one of the few European players in the league who can resist the Americans at present.

Kreza has been playing as a substitute this season. While averaging 22 minutes of playing, Kreza has been able to contribute 10.1 points, 4.4 rebounds and 0.7 assists.

Yes, read that right, it's just an average of 0.7 assists.

It has to be said that as a European player, Kreza's playing style is not like a local player in the European League at all.

He has neither the selfless dedication nor the excellent passing vision on the court, but he has some natural physical advantages.

The only thing that has something to do with European players is probably the only one he finally has a relatively soft three-point shooting.

Excellent weight also allows him to swing in the third and fourth positions in the NBA, but excellent weight eventually becomes a big burden on his body.

But no matter what, Creza definitely has the ability to play in the NBA league. Even if she goes to a relatively weak team, it will not be difficult to play in the starting position.

In addition to JR Smith and Creza, the Nuggets also have the Birdman Anderson who can travel the whole game on the defensive end.

This very reasonable combination also makes the Nuggets' lineup very deep.

It can be said that this is the main reason why the Nuggets can succeed this season.

So in the competition after the second quarter, the Nuggets quickly gained the upper hand.

Although the Magic team has been struggling to support it under the leadership of the little fat Nelson, but after all, two fists are hard to beat four hands.

Except for Nelson, other players on the Magic have all had flaws of all sizes, and one thing in common is that they lack offensive ability.

The only jj who is still some offensive ability? Redick can only be regarded as a pure pitcher.

And he is still very diarrhea on the defensive end, and even Stan Van Gundy plans to abandon him and even trade him in the middle of the season.

After all, as Courtney Lee plays better and better this season, he has already had a serious deviation from his previous life's trajectory.

This also made Stan Van Gundy completely give up on the idea of ​​trading him.

Unfortunately, as the team reveals more and more flaws on the bench, the Magic will have to complete one or two deals this season.

So when Courtney Lee couldn't be a bargaining chip, Redick became the Magic's best trading chip at present.

Because apart from Redick, Tony Barty and Bogans have no transaction value at all.

As for Janiel Nelson, it is because he signed a large contract with the Magic, so even if he wants to trade, the difficulty can be imagined.

After all, the league's salary cap is not as wide as in later generations, which also leads to players in the league who can get an annual salary of more than 10 million yuan, which is definitely the main force of each team.

So without special reasons, it is quite difficult to use Nelson to trade a chip that I am still satisfied with.

What's more, players coming from new deals will have to re-engage with the team, so even if the two are of equal value, they may not necessarily be more useful than Nelson in the end.

It is precisely for various reasons that Van Gundy chose to let Nelson lead the substitute to play instead of choosing to make some trading plans in the middle of the season.

After all, for the Magic this season, from management to coach, to the players below, everyone has only one goal, that is, to target the championship.

Therefore, there should not be too huge changes in the mid-season lineup.

Although the "Polish legend" Gotat on the bench also has considerable trading value, for the Magic, he can be said to be a very outstanding Warcraft substitute.

Therefore, in today's era when center players are still very valued, centers like Gotat who have low salary and have certain framing protection abilities are definitely popular players on the market.

As long as the Magic management has not gotten shit in his mind, it will never be possible for Gotat to trade him in the past two years.

Unless the other party's bargaining chips are too tempting, the only one who is finally traded is JJ Redick.

This news is no longer considered news in the Magic team today.

Even Redick himself is ready to be traded, after all, it is so cruel in the NBA league.

If you fail to make a fortune, you will either be abandoned or traded in the end.

When Su Jiu heard the news, he was expressionless and had no thoughts.

After all, Su Jiu has no favoritism for the guy Redick, because this guy's mouth is too stinky, and whether he has a brain or not is also questionable.

At least in normal training matches, Su Jiu has never been bothered to communicate with people like Redick.

Even though Redick took the initiative to find Su Jiu many times to express his personal favor, Su Jiu still looked unmoved.

After all, although fools are lucky, they don’t criticize them…

As the situation on the court gradually got at a disadvantage, Stan Van Gundy was not too angry off the court.

After all, similar to this situation, in the previous consecutive wins, Van Gundy has experienced many reincarnations.

At the beginning of the season, Van Gundy always felt that his lineup was more reasonable, and in terms of lineup depth, he was even more strong in the league.

However, as the season game deepened, Van Gundy gradually discovered the shortcomings of the substitute lineup, and finally discovered a very cruel fact.

That is, at the beginning of the season, it was not that the Magic's lineup was excellent, but because after various offseason transactions, most teams have undergone major and small changes.

Therefore, at the beginning of the season, all teams are in a running-in stage, and only the Magic team does not have much personnel adjustment during the offseason, so they will show a profound momentum with great momentum at the beginning of the season.

However, after the running-in between the teams has gradually improved, the Magic's lineup disadvantages have been revealed when facing these teams.

Especially in the substitute lineup, the disadvantage is very great, and this has always been a major problem that has troubled Van Gundy.

So Van Gundy has decided to propose a deal to the management and must make some adjustments to the roster in the middle of the season.

It is best to trade some old-age stars, even at the cost of weakening the substitute lineup, Van Gundy will definitely support it.

Otherwise, it would be quite difficult to win the championship with this lineup now.

And every time when I think of this, Van Gundy is very grateful for the rise of the monster Su Jiu.

Because Van Gundy could not imagine, with the current Magic team's lineup, if there is no longer the rise of Su Jiu, the unexpected player.

So how diarrhea they have this season...
