In the next few days, although the Magic returned to home games, their opponents were basically strong teams in the playoffs.

According to the latest news given by team doctor Cam Lee, Lewis will not be able to make a comeback at the end of February as soon as possible, so for the Magic today, this will definitely be a painful journey.

In the next few games, the Magic also ushered in a three-game losing streak at home, losing to the playoff teams in the East and West game, which put the team's morale to a low point.

And with this wave of three consecutive home losses, the Magic's record also dropped to 34 wins and 11 losses, and was successfully overtaken by the Los Angeles Lakers behind him, falling to second in the league and first in the East.

However, even though the Magic are still in the first place in the East, there is only a 0.5 win away from the Cavaliers behind them.

It can be said that as the season progresses, the Magic's disadvantages have also emerged, and they have suffered a huge blow during this period.

Even Stan Van Gundy started scratching her head all day long, feeling that her hair volume was getting worse day by day, sooner or later, she would have to lose all her hair and become a completely bald head...

January 29.

Since the Magic suffered a three-game losing streak at home, the team will also have a short rest time in these two days.

However, although the players can get a short break, it is a very painful process for the coaching staff led by Stan Van Gundy.

Because with the team's record this season, Stan Van Gundy's current pressure is also very huge.

After all, he had no choice before, but in this situation, the championship has become a major assessment on his coaching journey.

On this day, NBA officially announced the second round of voting for the All-Star Voting this season.

So far, Kobe Bryant of the Lakers has also temporarily won the All-Star votes with a crushing advantage.

The Eastern Conference vote king is temporarily led by LeBron James, and the Magic's Howard ranks second.

The gap with James in front of him is not very big, with only a mere 260,000 votes.

After the second round of the All-Star Game ended, the starting lineup of the West has basically been released.

If nothing unexpected happens, the starting lineup of the Western Conference All-Star Game will be composed of five people: Chris Paul, Kobe, Stodmeier, Tim Duncan and Yao Ming.

As for the bench, there will be O'Neal, Roy, Nowitzki, Tony Parker, Paul Gasol, David West and Billups.

As for the East, so far, the Eastern Conference All-Star starter is likely to be composed of five people, Iverson, Wade, James, Garnett and Howard.

On the bench, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Lewis, Danny Granger, Joe Johnson, Mo Williams and Su Jiu were the only ones.

In this list, Rashad Lewis is sure to miss this All-Star Game. After all, he expects his earliest comeback will be at the end of February, so he will definitely miss this All-Star Game.

Once Rashad Lewis is unable to attend this All-Star Game due to injury, according to the league rules, Devin Harris, who has the most votes behind him, will be replaced by Devin Harris, who has the most votes behind him, and will attend this year's All-Star Game.

However, after the results of the second round of All-Star voting were announced, the entire fan circle exploded instantly.

Because on this list, it is named this year's rookie Su Jiu.

Even after the first round of All-Star voting, Su Jiu has a high chance of entering this year's All-Star Game.

However, when Su Jiu's name appeared on the list of results after the second round of voting, it still shocked many fans.

And while shocked, I felt very upset.

This also made more and more fans start to attack Su Jiu online, criticizing Su Jiu for his qualifications to be selected for the NBA All-Star Game.

After all, in this game, there are all superstars, and Su Jiu, a rookie who has just entered the league, is too eye-catching. Even if he wants to be low-key, there is no way to keep it low...

January 30.

While most fans in the league were still talking wildly about the second round of the All-Star Game, the Magic released a shocking news in the early morning of this day.

Even when this news came out, the entire league could be said to have experienced a wave of shock.

During the big night, everyone was quickly conveying the news, and it quickly flooded the screen on social media and news sections.

In the early morning of January 30, 2009, the Magic also announced in a very high-profile manner that it had officially completed a deal with the Pistons.

And in this transaction, he was involved in the figure of Allen Iverson, a popular star in the league.

Although Iverson's reputation in the league is very bad now, and it has even reached the point where everyone is asking for a fight, no matter what, Iverson's status in the fan circle is too high.

So after the news came out, the entire fan circle exploded instantly, like a stone thrown into the water, splashing ripples.

According to the official announcement of the Magic and Pistons, in this deal, the Magic also used Nelson and Tony Barty to exchange for Iverson and Amir Johnson of the Pistons.

The outgoing of this transaction instantly made waves of thunder sound in the ears of various management teams in the league.

Because the Magic's record this season is very good, if nothing unexpected happens, the Magic's goal this season is definitely to target the championship.

Therefore, this group of transactions has also ushered in unanimous wait-and-sees from most teams in the league.

However, after this deal was reported, most teams were talking about the fact that the Magic team was stupid and had a lot of money, so they must have been blinded by their record, so they chose to exchange Nelson and Allen Iverson for their bosses.

Because this is simply a bad move!!

After all, Aaron Iverson is a well-known crossing rat in the league, and it is simply a point where everyone is begging for a fight.

This season, Iverson's strength has not only regressed so quickly on the court, but his bad habits off the court are also full of evil deeds.

Openly contradicted the coach, privately absent from training, fight with teammates, smoke, drink, racing, involvement in gangs,...

Basically, all the words except drug use seem to be able to see thoroughly in Iverson.

This is also a huge label that Iverson was labeled as the league's number one cancer this season.

Although Iverson was as scattered as he is now, Iverson at his peak definitely had personal abilities.

As long as he can lead the team to win on the court, then the management will not mind turning a blind eye to his misconduct off the court, and just pretend that he has not seen it.

However, as Iverson's condition declines this season, he no longer has the ability to lead the team to win by relying on his own strength.

So the conflict between the management and Iverson broke out directly. After that, the infamous refusal to play in the league was ushered in, which also made Iverson directly turn into an unstable time bomb.

It also caused the Pistons to fail to trade Iverson for half a season.

So at this moment, when the rest of the league heard that the Magic actually chose to destroy their bright future and instead chose to trade to Aaron Iverson to compete for the championship, they felt a little funny.

He even directly verbally criticized him:

"What a fool!!"

Due to Su Jiu's unexpected rise, Nelson's average playing time this season has dropped to 28.7 minutes.

In these 28.7 minutes, Nelson averaged 14.1 points, 3.6 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game.

And at the same time, he also has a shooting percentage of 46.7% and a three-point shooting percentage of 32.3%.

On the other hand, Iverson averaged 37.2 minutes per game with the Pistons this season, contributing 17.4 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.1 assists.

And his shooting percentage was only 40.8%, and his three-point shooting percentage dropped to 27.6%.

The most important thing is that Nelson is only 26 years old this year, and it can be said that he is far from reaching the peak of his career.

As for Iverson who has already entered his twilight years of his career, whether he can stay in the NBA next season is a big problem.

So when others learned about this deal, they would have a great confusion about the Magic.

After all, when trading in such a half-time season, the team will not only face some new running-in, but also accept the unknown price.

What's more, the Magic chose to trade as the league's number one cancer, Allen Iverson, so this also makes the Magic's locker room a bit dangerous...

In addition to Nelson and Allen Iverson, Tony Barty is a bargaining chip used to balance salary.

Amir Johnson on the Pistons is an optional extra.

This season, Amir Johnson averaged only 13.6 minutes per game with the Pistons, and personally contributed an inconspicuous data of 3.1 points and 3.3 rebounds.

I believe that if it weren't for the full list of Pistons' lineup, the Magic might not have needed a player like Amir Johnson.

After all, even Tony Barty can contribute a good statistic of 5.7 points and 4.4 rebounds this season.

So when the deal was completed, it faced many doubts from the outside world, and even came from the puzzlement of the fans, and the Magic's management has not made any explanation.

Because compared with the random speculations of these people from the outside world, only Otis Smith and Stan Van Gundy, who personally contributed to the deal, were clearer.

What does Iverson's joining mean for the Magic, and the playing style on Iverson is exactly what the Magic need him the most.

Although the two of them were under tremendous pressure respectively, in order to attack the supreme championship trophy, the two of them really took advantage of it.

After all, the help Nelson can bring to the team is really limited.

At least when there is no trade, Stan Van Gundy has no confidence in leading the team to win the championship.

Because the team's performance in the second half of the season has proved everything, compared to basically no hope, Van Gundy finally gritted his teeth and directly led to the deal.

As the saying goes, wealth and honor are in danger...

------------

After a full rest for a night, Su Jiu, who was about to sleep and wake up naturally the next day, was immediately quarreled by a burst of rapid phone calls.

"Hello…"

While sleeping in a daze, Su Jiu reluctantly answered the phone, put the phone on his ear, and curled up in the quilt and continued to enjoy the warmth.

"Fuck!! Big news, Su, big news!!"

When Su Jiu heard the sound of Li Zi coming from the other end of the phone, although he didn't know what the guy was crying and howling, Su Jiu no longer had the intention to listen to his next nonsense.
