Chapter 346 When O'Neill Goes to New York

In the third quarter of the game, with Ewing's hard support, the Knicks maintained the situation and would not collapse.

However, for the 34-year-old Ewing, physical strength has always been a problem.

In addition to this game, he didn't get much rest time at all, and only took a rest in the first half of the second quarter.

Therefore, in the fourth quarter, after his physical strength declined, Ewing could no longer maintain his dominance in the paint.

Garnett began to use his high jumper to score frequently in the paint.

That's right, that's the "Iron Blood Jumper". . .

And Ewing is now suffering from physical problems, so it is difficult to follow Garnett frequently running around inside and outside the lane.

In the end, the Knicks, who made a good start, still lost to the Magic without O'Neal.

"I think we have a good chance of winning, but you can't ask my team to do better in the face of a guy who made a full 11 three-pointers." At the press conference after the game, Van Gundy said helplessly to reporters.

Reporters focused on Cole, who scored 34 points.

"How did you manage to score 28 points in a single quarter?"

Cole said calmly: "I just made all the shots I should make, it's that simple."

This wave of anti-routines made you pretend. . .

Two days later, the Magic headed to New York for their final game of the season against the Knicks.

However, because of Cole's excellent performance in the last game, D'Antoni chose to rest Iverson in this game.

This is also the only game Iverson has missed this season.

In this game, the Knicks strengthened their defense against Cole. He, who already lacked the ability to attack with the ball, was very uncomfortable being defended by Starks after he was figured out.

But Cole, who has a very high golf quotient, no longer obsessed with personal offense, and began to conscientiously organize the team's offense.

With the inside combination of O'Neal and Garnett, the Magic had an advantage when facing Ewing and Oakley.

Cole honestly played the traditional role of the "tool man who passes the ball to O'Neal" for the Magic.

It's getting easier for O'Neal to play Ewing.

Because he is still on the rise, and Ewing's peak period has passed.

Although Ewing can still contribute 22.5 points, 10.6 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game this season.Even stole O'Neal's All-Star starting position.

But this does not mean that Ewing can suppress O'Neal. On the contrary, O'Neal has been paddling very well this season. This can be seen from the fact that his shooting percentage has increased to 65% this season, and his average assists per game have reached a career high of 4.3 times.

He is no longer obsessed with playing singles inside alone, and has increased the number of times he eats cakes. The arrival of Iverson and Garnett has shared his pressure well, and he has played smarter.

Garnett took on Rodman's previous tasks and picked up all the dirty work. Although his rebounding ability is not as good as Rodman's historical ceiling level, his personal offensive ability is almost two times higher than that of Mutombo.

If DeWeese's absence is not considered, then this season, the Magic can be said to have completed a wave of perfect lineup upgrades.

Even when the strength of the Crazy Black Magic team declined at the beginning of the season, at this time, they had to admit it while pinching their noses.

Although there was no Cole's outburst in this game, the Magic won it much more easily than the previous game.

"On the Importance of a Super Center"

In the last game, Ewing played with the Magic inside, and this time O'Neal played with the Knicks inside. . . .

Commonly known as hanging.

Ewing faced O'Neal in this game, and he, who was unwilling to let go of his super center figure, played against O'Neal for the entire game.

但是，33投11中，命中率33%，拿下了24分12篮板2盖帽数据的尤因，被奥尼尔的35投21中，罚球12中5砍下的47分16篮板3盖帽完全压制。

All right, you are right to insist that he was blown up. .

And the final point difference between the two teams is exactly the point difference between the two teams.

The Magic were on the road and beat the Knicks by 23 points.

Ewing, who was once all-powerful, finally admitted helplessly that he was getting old.

Even, Ewing revealed for the first time that he had plans to retire in the post-match press conference.

O'Neal's merciless sling made Ewing consider retirement for the first time.

"The current league is already young people, oh, and Michael's era." Ewing's words caused a burst of laughter from the reporters in the audience.

They knew that the O'Neal that Ewing was talking about was not Michael Dewes of the Magic, but his lifelong enemy, Michael Jordan.

"Retirement? Of course I have considered it, but I will not leave this stage after I retire. I have played all my life. Maybe after I retire, I will take a coaching qualification certificate."

Ewing's next words gave people a feeling of a hero's twilight.

Since ancient times, famous generals are like beauties, and the world is not allowed to see gray hair

However, after Ewing's second question at the press conference was published in the newspaper by the reporters, it aroused Michael's merciless ridicule in his mouth.

"Losers will only find reasons for their own failures. Patrick, this guy, who is only one year older than me, does he feel old? I really enjoy the game with those little guys. It feels great to be full of energy, and the duel between me and Michael is not over yet." Jordan pointed to the report and said to Pippen with a smile.

"Haha, Michael, you are the only one who can say that." Pippen only glanced at the title and knew what Jordan wanted to express.

"Anyway, I will definitely win this year's championship." Jordan turned serious, put on his sneakers, tied the laces carefully, and walked out of the locker room.

Today, what they are facing is the Rockets led by "Big Dream" Olajuwon, a tycoon from Houston.

Two and a half hours later, with 34 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists and a victory, Jordan returned to the locker room with a smile on his face.

Pippen silently scored an economical triple-double of 17 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists, once again becoming the man standing behind Jordan.

And Kemp, who scored 21 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, walked into the locker room behind Pippen humming a ditty.

After Kemp came to the Bulls, he did not compete with Pippen for team status, which is why the atmosphere in the Bulls locker room has been so harmonious in the past two years.

Anyway, Ding Potian is the second child, so there is nothing to argue about. . .

At the same time, the 95-96 season, the schedule of the NBA regular season, has also reached the final stage.

However, because the record of this season is very clear, so in the final stage of the season, the entire league is in harmony.

Anyway, the Magic already had 69 wins with five games left in the season, while the Bulls only had 67 wins, and it is basically hopeless to compete with the Magic for the first place in the league.

So, what kind of results can the Magic and Bulls achieve at the end of the season?
