Chapter 371 The offseason with a lot of information

In an inconspicuous corner of the auditorium, Ben Wallace was sitting there with a nervous expression on his face.

Seeing that Camby was selected with the first pick, his eyes lit up.

"Camby's big parallel importer can be the number one pick? Is it popular this year for blue-collar workers like me?" Da Ben had already begun to fantasize about being selected in the lottery.

However, with the 20th overall pick, Zajunas-Ilgauskas has been selected by the Cavaliers, and Big Ben is still uninterested.

The Lakers selected Derek Fisher with the 24th overall pick.

Big Ben was almost desperate.

All the freshmen in Michael DeWeese's training camp, as long as they entered the draft, were selected in the lottery.

Big Ben is the only exception, and depending on the situation, he is likely to fall in the second round or even lose the draft.

In this small corner that seems to be forgotten by the world, Ben Wallace quietly waits for the trial of fate.

"With the 29th pick in the first round, the Orlando Magic selected Ben Wallace from Virginia Union University."

Da Ben was immersed in loss when he suddenly heard Stern calling his name on the stage.

He raised his head blankly.

"Ben, you've been selected, you've become a member of the Magic!" Ben heard his equally frustrated agent, and yelled to himself frantically beside him.

It still feels like a dream when Ben arrives on stage wearing a Magic hat.

But when he saw Davis in the audience, looking at him with a smile and applauding, Big Ben suddenly gained confidence.

"Thanks to the Magic for giving me the opportunity to enter the NBA. I will definitely not let the Magic down."

A few years later, DeWeese has been famous and retired for a long time, and the Magic's lineup is also full of people. Only one person's name stayed on the Magic's roster until he retired.

His name is Ben Wallace.

Davis sat in his seat contentedly.

The most elite talents of the 96 golden generation were all taken under the command of the Magic.

Thinking about the lineup of the Magic next season, DeWeese fell into the trouble of happiness.

After the draft, the eyes of the whole world are focused on the upcoming Atlanta Olympics.

In this Olympic Games, because of the appearance of Davis, the Dream Team [-] is stronger than the original time and space.

The addition of Davis, Iverson, Garnett and others allowed the Dream Team [-] to crush and win the championship with a greater advantage than in history. Some people are even discussing the question of whether the Dream Team or the Dream Team is stronger or weaker.

Davis is the leading scorer and assists leader in the U.S. team, averaging 16.7 points and 7.5 assists per game.

At the same time, Nasr and Baker ended their loan contracts and returned to the Magic.

Max was also exchanged by DeWeese for Van Exel.

Of the three people originally planned to trade, only two left. In addition to Van Exel, Horry also left. He was replaced by the Lakers with two draft picks.

Only Mason intends to stay in the Magic team, and his room for improvement is not much. He can continue to mix a few rings in the Magic team, and he has no other pursuits.

But about starting next season, Davis has been very melancholy these days.

Others are puzzled, because the starting five of Duncan, Garnett, Klay, Iverson and Davis are obviously easy to line up.

Davis has been thinking about Bryant's problems.

On August 8, Kobe's 23th birthday, he officially signed a professional contract with the Magic.

It was on this day that Davis made his final decision.

"Next season, I will be the sixth man of the team."

During a team practice, DeWeese announced the news.

He has already discussed with the coaching staff that the second team will be led by him, Ray Allen and Ben Wallace, plus two main lineup players.

D'Antoni didn't understand at the beginning, but slowly figured out Davis' painstaking efforts.

"If you play like this, other teams can't even beat the Magic's bench lineup." After observing a few training games, D'Antoni completely accepted Davis' arrangement.

However, the performance of Kobe, who was abdicated by Davis and put on the starting lineup, did not satisfy everyone.

His performance is not even as good as Ray Allen.

In addition to physical fitness, Ray Allen's shooting speed and three-point shooting level are better than Kobe's.

Even in terms of physical fitness, he is not much weaker than Kobe, and he is also a jumper.

But DeWeese resolutely let Kobe start, and Ray Allen stayed in the second team and played himself.

Ray Allen has gotten used to the role Davis entrusted to him after several times of team training.

Ray Allen, one of the three musketeers in later generations, may not appear again, but the enhanced version of the cold-blooded killer of the Celtics and Heat appeared in the NBA more than ten years in advance.

Duncan's performance perfectly filled the gap left by O'Neal, and he and Garnett formed a wonderful chemical reaction.

To put it simply, the Magic's current three-point line is a no-fly zone. . .

Even DeWeese was so painfully guarded by two people.

This reminded DeWeese of the beautiful days when Scott and Sprewell were double-teamed in team training when he first entered the league. . . .

However, what surprised everyone on the Magic team most was the big black man who was picked up by Davis in the first round.

The height of just over two meters still relies on the advantage of his explosive head. . .

Duncan arbitrarily kneaded inside like beating a child.

The inside skills are rough to death, and the only offensive method is the second offense and lobs after grabbing the rebound.

But this can't hide his advantages at all,
Actively fill in the inside to help defend, rush to do all the dirty work, and have an almost persistent preference for physical confrontation.

In this Magic team, Big Ben doesn't have to attack at all. . . .

Davis, Duncan, Garnett, Iverson, Kobe, Ray Allen, Clay, with these people, do you still have to worry about the team's offense?
Don't even have to worry too much about defense.

As the first backup center, Ben, who played with Davis, only needs to perform in his true colors. . . .

After seeing Big Ben's performance during the team's training, everyone has reason to believe that this big man can surprise all opponents in official games.

But before the start of the season, Bryant is still the biggest headache for the Magic coaches.

He has a strong desire to shoot, but the shooting percentage in the training game is a bit horrible.

There was even a highlight moment of four consecutive shots under the defense of Davis.

But Davis still insisted on letting Kobe start, and gave him a lot of shots in the tactical system.

That's not counting, he is still obsessed with defending Kobe, and the harder he abuses Kobe, the happier he is.

Kobe still enjoys it, like a masochist who doesn't feel uncomfortable without being hit by Davis several times a day. . . . .

In this slightly chaotic situation, the NBA regular season of the 96-97 season began.
