August 11.

In the past few days, the Magic team has actively contacted the free market again.

Although the big fish in the free market were already looted by other teams as soon as the free market opened.

But so far, the Magic have less than 15 players in the team's lineup, so in the free market, the Magic are still screening.

We plan to strengthen the championship lineup for the new season.

During this period, the Magic also signed CBA legend Brandon Bass one after another, as well as "unsettled" Anthony Johnson.

When Su Jiu saw the name Anthony Johnson, he was obviously stunned.

Damn, is the team signing a player or a security guard?!!

What? Is it because I am afraid that someone will take the lead on the road to defending the title, so I specially signed a thug?!!

Although Su Jiu was stunned for a moment when he saw the name Anthony Johnson, after thinking that this was his teammate, Su Jiu nodded thoughtfully.

"Well..., I don't have to worry about getting beaten up in the new season!!!"

…………………

September 5th.

As time goes by September, Su Jiu and others' holidays are gradually fading away, because in the next step, everyone in the team will fall into endless training.

Warm up in advance for the journey of the new season and explore the road to successive championships in the new season.

It can be said that in September, everyone on the Magic team started to train hard. Even a fun Howard started to lift the iron in a crazy way at this time, immersing himself in the joy of lifting the iron in an effort.

Is this love?!

Is this to achieve the awareness of winning consecutive championships?!

No!!

This is just that I was having too much fun during the offseason and I was fat, so I just finished losing weight before the season starts...

Throughout September, the Magic's training schedule was full, because at this stage, players not only needed a lot of weight lifting training to try to reduce the fat that had grown for no reason during the offseason.

The most important thing is that the Magic team this season can be said to have multiple brand new faces, so in this case, the Magic players will inevitably run-in the lineup of the new season.

And since Tkoglu ran away from the Raptors, the Magic's style of playing next season will definitely undergo some minor changes.

Although it is not enough to say that it is completely rejected and started over again, at least in a short period of time, the Magic may experience some unaccommodation.

If Tkoglu's departure has the greatest impact on whom, then this person will definitely be Su Jiu.

After all, when Tkoglu plays next to Howard, he is at best a three-pointer responsible for opening up the space.

But only when Teglu and Sujiu are on the court at the same time can he play his role in the field and make his role reach a limit.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Tkoglu can sign the next big contract in this offseason, the cooperation with Su Jiu in the finals will definitely play a crucial role.

If Su Jiu hadn't been there, then Tkoglu's value would not have been so huge, and it would have been even less likely to be snatched by many teams in the league.

Because only when Su Jiu plays without the ball, Tkoglu can play all his own characteristics in a team like the Magic.

So when Su Jiu learned that Tkoglu would leave the team next season, he felt a little regretful.

After all, Su Jiu and Tkoglu not only have a tacit understanding in cooperation on the field, but also takes good care of Su Jiu on weekdays.

Especially during the period when Su Jiu just entered the league, if Tkoglu had not accepted Su Jiu enthusiastically like a big brother, then I believe Su Jiu would not have integrated into the Magic team in a short period of time.

But Su Jiu knew that this was the case with the business league. Whether a player leaves or not depends entirely on his business value.

Since Tekoglu helped the Magic win the championship trophy last season, this summer, Tekoglu, who is a free agent, will continue to rise.

In this case, if the Magic want to keep Tekoglu, the price they pay is simply too great.

In addition to directly locking the team's salary space, it will also delay the team's subsequent strengthening.

So after repeated measurements, the Magic team management had to give up the contract matching for Tkoglu.

Fortunately, the team got Grant Hill through the trade and then signed a defensive player Marion on the front line from the free market, which barely maintained the Magic's qualification to defend the title next season.

In fact, from an objective perspective, the Magic's lineup in the new season is still so terrifying.

Howard, Iverson, Carter, Sujiu, Lewis, Marion, White Chocolate, Gott, Ryan Anderson, and Brandon Bass.

The team not only has potential newcomers like Su Jiu, but also has experienced veterans like White Chocolate Williams and Iverson.

Finally, a large number of players who happened to be at their peak in their careers are also the first ladder that keeps the Magic's strength in the new season still on the league.

And when all these players with a huge age gap gathered together and frantically carried out iron lifting training throughout September, I naturally hope to complete the title defense in next season!!

…………………

October 4th.

In early October, the NBA preseason schedule has been fully arranged, and all teams will warm up for the new season in the preseason.

After half a offseason training, many people in the Magic team have become stronger and stronger, among which Howard and Su Jiu have the most obvious figures.

Looking around, Howard and Su Jiu were a completely larger size than last season.

Especially Su Jiu, Su Jiu's original height and weight can be considered relatively strong when he is in the position of point guard.

After half a offseason training, Su Jiu is currently like a devilish muscle man from his body shape.

However, overall, Su Jiu seemed to have weighed more than ten kilograms, but in fact, Su Jiu's weight has only increased to 94 kilograms at this moment.

It can be said that in terms of maintaining the body, Su Jiu did quite well in the second half.

During the whole September, Su Jiusuo suffered, but he almost vomited out all the food he had eaten in the two months of July and August.

Fortunately, before the start of the new season, Su Jiu finally appeared in front of the fans with a brand new look.

Today, the Magic will welcome their first opponent in the preseason, the Cleveland Cavaliers!!

It can be said that the Alliance has absolutely grasped the story of love, hate, and love.

What's more, as a business league, NBA is very clear about the importance of howl, so in the first matchup in the preseason, the league arranged a matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers, who had a lot of connection with the Magic.

Although this is just a preseason game, the entire Orlando Arena is basically in full swing at this moment.

Because for these fans who have not watched the NBA game for nearly four months, the Magic's first game at home is definitely going to watch it on the spot, even if it's just a preseason game.

And although this is just a preseason game and the intensity of both sides is definitely not as strong as in the official game, the Magic's lineup this season is very interesting.

Whether it is Howard, Iverson or Vince Carter, these are all very popular stars today.

Of course, when it comes to popularity, Su Jiu, who just won the best rookie last year.

However, although Su Jiu's performance in the rookie season was very explosive, in his second season of his career, no one could predict whether Su Jiu's performance will continue to rise this year.

After all, fans have seen too many rookies who are at their peak when they debut.

Although for local fans in Orlando, they firmly believe that Su Jiu will continue his state and become better and better.

But before the start of the new season, this kind of thing can often be just a guess.

It can be said that when the Magic appear in front of people in this new season, it will be difficult for fans to like this Magic.

Before the game started, the entire Orlando Arena had already fallen into a warm atmosphere, and all the fans sat together seemed to have endless topics to talk about.

After all, they have been waiting for nearly four months for the arrival of this game.

In the new season, not only Magic players will fantasize about defending the title. For Orlando and fans who support Magic, it is obviously also an unavoidable topic to strive for the championship dynasty.

Under the lively atmosphere of the entire Orlando Arena, the two teams were shooting warm-ups before the game.

For the Cleveland Cavaliers, they seemed to have had a nightmare last season.

Even though they won the league's first record in the regular season last season, they launched a rush to the finals stage with the hope of all Cleveland fans.

In fact, this is true. After the Cavaliers entered the playoffs, the entire Cavaliers were still invincible in a state of unstoppable momentum.

Just when more and more people begin to believe that the Cavaliers will return to the finals this year and even have the hope of winning the championship trophy.

However, the Cleveland Cavaliers encountered the magic trick that also wanted to enter the finals on the stage of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Originally, for the duel in this series, experts from the outside world unanimously agreed that it would be a battle of dragons and tigers, and it is likely that it would even reach the tiebreak.

But the final outcome was far beyond people's expectations, making people feel incredible, and even caused the Cavaliers to be abused and accused by fans throughout the offseason.

That is, the Magic actually swept the Cavaliers in a magical 4:0 in the Eastern Conference Final, and did not give the Cavaliers a slight hope of turning the tables.

You know, the Cavaliers are the first in the league in the regular season, and in the regular season match between the two sides, the Cavaliers are also on par with the Magic with a record of one win and one loss.

And before this round of series starts, the two teams will score in tiebreaks with a support rate of 46.2%, which is more than 12 percentage points higher than the second-ranked six games.

As a result, as the series between the two sides started, the result that the outside world has turned into a one-sided situation.

The Cavaliers will spend a lot of money to introduce O'Neal during this offseason, hoping to complete revenge against the Magic in this year's playoffs.

After all, a large part of the reason why the Cavaliers faced losing last year was because when Howard attacked strongly in the inside, there was no player on the team who could compete with him.

So in this offseason, the Cavaliers' first goal to strengthen the center is the position of the center, and also introduced the Shark O'Neal.

Even though the big shark O'Neal has entered his twilight years, he is no less than Howard in physical confrontation.

The reason why so many fans came to watch this game was not only because the Magic itself is a team that attracts fans.
To be continued...
