359. Lessons from Bynum; Iverson is injured!(1/2)

With the Magic's first defeat in the new season, this incident has undoubtedly become the headline news in the NBA in recent times.

However, although the Magic successfully ushered in its first defeat in the season, the Magic's record is still 16 wins and 1 loss, ranking first in the league.

So for other teams, although the Magic are facing losses, it proves that he is not really without weaknesses.

But the Magic's powerful moment is still like a sharp blade hanging above the heads of other teams.

At least if other teams want to attack the championship this season, then the Magic will definitely be the biggest opponent on this road.

For Western teams, this is actually a little better. After all, if you really want to meet the Magic in the end, it will be on the stage of the finals.

But for the Eastern Conference team, the existence of the Magic is undoubtedly a bit breathless for other teams.

Even veteran champions like the Cavaliers and Celtics have not dared to release the slogan of winning the championship this season.

Even according to a poll on the Internet at this moment, the Magic's support rate has reached an astonishing 73.6% for the final ownership of this year's NBA championship!!

What does this mean?!

This means that except for the Magic, the other 29 teams in the league have a combined championship approval rating of only a pitiful 26.4%.

So in this case, the strength of the Magic this season is completely visible to the naked eye.

Although Jordan won 72 times, there was no public opinion poll support rate.

But I believe that even in that season, the Bulls' support rating would definitely not be more terrifying than the Magic.

This does not mean that the Magic this season is stronger than the Bulls, but that when the team itself is relatively strong, it is also related to a major environment in the league.

At least after the start of the new season, the Lakers, Cavaliers and Celtics have all fallen into the hands of the Magic.

In this case, the support for the Cavaliers and Celtics who can counterattack the Magic will naturally drop significantly.

After all, they were already lying at the feet of the Magic last season.

Although this season is still very long, it is unknown whether the teams will make some earth-shaking transactions to compete with the Magic in the middle of the season.

But at least from now on, the Magic team's strength is absolutely no objection...

…………

December 1st.

As time entered December, the first opponent the Magic met was the Western Chicken Saramento Kings.

So far, the Kings have been overtaken by the Timberwolves, the last in the West in terms of record ranking, thus becoming the new West in the bottom.

So before this game started, the result seemed to be obvious.

However, when some fans thought of the Magic's game against the Timberwolves, the fans also thought this way, but in the end, the Timberwolves defeated the Magic magic magic magic magic in a magical way.

When I think of this, many fans have aroused great interest in this game.

But the accident is an accident. In this game, the Magic did not give the king any more fantasies, but easily said:

113:86

The team won the team's first victory after entering December by 27 points, which in a sense can be regarded as a winning start.

In this game, because the Kings' overall strength is too weak, there are actually not many highlights in the whole process.

If I really want to talk about the highlight, then the Kings have a player who has a lot of connection with the Magic in this game.

That's right, it was when he broke out in the team conflict with Kobe in the finals last season, so the Magic picked up a cheap "little shark" Bynum.

After Bynum had a conflict with Kobe in the finals last season, the entire Los Angeles verbally abused Bynum's behavior.

This situation also led Bynum to become the public enemy of Los Angeles for a while, so after the contract expired, Bynum left the Lakers without any suspense.

Finally, he signed a contract with the Kings and became the boss of this weak Kings team.

Of course, becoming the boss of this team was when Bynum just joined the Kings during the offseason.

However, judging from the situation after the start of the new season, whether Bynum can be the boss of this team needs to be at least a question mark.

Because in this team, whether it is rookie Evans or Kevin Martin who has not been traded to the Rockets for the time being, these two people's performance is not inferior to Bynum.

And before the start of the new season, Bynum once publicly stated in front of social media that the new season will definitely lead the Kings to perform well in the team.

It made everyone look at him with admiration, and it also said that after leaving Kobe, he will definitely grow into an excellent league center.

However, with nearly 20 games in the new season, Bynum's personal performance is completely inferior to the coquettish he brags about.

So far this season, Bynum averaged 16.8 points, 10.7 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game while playing 33.6 minutes per game.

Although this data seems very good at first glance, it can even be said to be very excellent.

But considering that in the Kings, the last team in the league, Bynum, as a star, has only contributed such data, the moisture in this data is really huge.

And in addition, after Bynum came to the Kings, his injury problems were not alleviated.

With just three games in the new season, Bynum took a break of nearly 10 games due to knee pain.

After recently making a comeback, my personal efficiency on the offensive end is not that ideal.

At least so far, Bynum has only 50.3% shots per game while shooting 15.6 times per game.

You know, this hit rate is really too low for an All-Star center.

Compared with this, Howard, who shot 61.8% of the field goal percentage this season, and is also better than Bynum in terms of scoring and rebounding.

The Magic are the best in the league in the league, so the gap between the two is basically visible to the naked eye.

In this game, Bynum faced Howard many times to ask for the ball and wanted to play singles at the low post. It seemed that he wanted to prove that he was not much worse than Howard.

But the final result was that Howard would not play, and he would only cover the sky in the inside line, and Bynum's entire hit rate was less than 50%.

In the whole game, Howard scored a total of 21 points and 14 rebounds, while Bynum also scored a total of 17 points and 9 rebounds.

But in the absence of leading the team to win, Howard's shooting percentage was as high as 69.4% throughout the game, while Bynum was only 46.7%.

It is not difficult to see from here that Bynum is indeed powerful, but what he is powerful is his verbal skills!!

At least since the start of the new season, Lakers fans have never stopped verballying insulting Bynum.

Especially when Bynum was not embarrassed in the game, Lakers fans began to insult and verbally abuse Bynum.

After all, in a sense, the pain Bynum brought to the Lakers is indeed difficult to forgive.

…………

In the next few games, the Magic won three consecutive games, improving the team's record to 20 wins and 1 loss.

And after the team entered December, the team has not experienced losing so far.

Even though it was the only game I lost this season, it still lost to the league's weak Timberwolves for the first time.

This situation undoubtedly makes more and more people begin to be optimistic that Magic can win this year's championship trophy.

In addition, more and more people have begun to discuss publicly on the Internet at this time whether the Magic can break the previous best record of 72 wins and 10 losses created by Michael Jordan.

For this, if any team said before that they would break this record in the new season, then people would mostly just smile disdainfully.

But the momentum of the Magic this season is really terrible. With a quarter of the regular season passing, the team has only lost one game so far.

According to this ratio, wouldn’t the Magic only lose four games in a season?!

Although in the late stage of the season, the Magic cannot maintain the spirit and overall team strength in the early stages of the season.

And at the same time, no one can guarantee whether some injuries and problems will occur that people cannot predict.

But even if these four games doubled, the Magic will only lose eight games in the new season, so the Magic still has a very high chance of breaking the best record in the previous team history set by the Bulls.

At least in public discussions on the Internet, the support rate for supporting the Magic to break the best record in the new season is as high as 61.2%.

Among the remaining people, it is not that they are not optimistic about Magic's ability to break this record. There are only many people who are not good at Magic's team. They do not want Magic to be so popular.

After all, the magic of this season is already enough to steal the spotlight. If this breaks the previous record set by Michael Jordan, the "God of Basketball" will be fucking great?!!

…………

December 7.

Just when people have been discussing whether the Magic can break the best record set by Michael Jordan before, and who can give the Magic the second defeat in the new season.

In today's Magic vs. Nets, some accidents occurred.

The Nets are the last in the Eastern Conference this season. After choosing to trade Carter to the Magic last season, the Nets have completely entered the reconstruction stage.

Basically, I choose to hoard draft picks and never ask about my record.

So before this game starts, the Magic have no pressure at all.

However, during this game, Iverson sprained his left ankle in a layup.

This scene scared the home fans at that time, after all, the Nets are simply a rookie.

At that time, the Magic were also in a double-digit lead, so it was undoubtedly a very painful thing for players to face injuries in this case.

Although Iverson's physical performance and performance on the court have dropped significantly this season due to his personal age.

But so far, Iverson has been able to contribute 13.6 points, 2.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.8 steals per game while averaging 29.7 minutes.

And because his teammates around him are very strong, Iverson's shooting percentage also reached a career high of 46.9%.
