Chapter 34
Time passed quickly, half a month passed in the pre-season training, and the Magic ushered in the pre-season game at their home court, but Jonny once again found himself sad, he didn't even have a chance to play for 1 minute By the way, even Amal McCasgill and Bryan Evans got a lot of playing time.

It seems that Brian Hill really gave up on him.

Jonny was a little depressed. Did he really do something wrong on the first day of pre-season training?It annoyed Brian Hill, but it would be impossible for Johnny to be soft, after all, Johnny never thought he was wrong.

Why didn't Brian Hill play Jonny?Rich Adubato also asked Brian Hill. After the fourth game of the preseason, Jonny did not get even a minute of playing time in four consecutive games. Some couldn't stand it anymore, so he approached Brian Hill.

"Bryan, I don't know why you didn't play for that kid." Rich Adubatu pointed to Jonny who was sweating profusely on the field. Man can be compared to Jonny.

"Is that kid? His strength is just a player at the end of the bench." Brian Hill didn't say much, just gave a brief explanation, but obviously this explanation would not satisfy Richie Adubatu.

"I mean, why don't you even give that little guy a minute of playing time?"

"Didn't you play him for 1 minute? It's very simple. The reason just now, plus his disobedience, such a player should be punished, Rich." Brian Hill turned his head and glanced at Li Chiadubatu, then turned around and continued to supervise the training of the players on the field.

Rich Adubatu is very helpless, Jonny's strength is not enough?At least what Rich Adubatu observed through the summer league is that this Magic, no matter how much it is said, the starting five tigers are stronger than Jonny.But the head coach is Brian Hill, and Rich Adubato can at most give some advice as he did just now, and he can't interfere with Brian Hill's arrangement.

Johnny failed to play the entire preseason, not only Johnny himself, but also Rich Adubatu, Daryl Armstrong, Amal McCasgill, they are also worrying for Johnny In a hurry, they all got a lot of playing time, but Jonny has not played so far.

Of course, what Johnny doesn't know is that there is another person who is also anxious for him, and that is Anfernee Hardaway. If you want to say why the Magic chose Johnny, it is because of Anfernee Hardaway's request. , Anfernee Hardaway's prestige is very high, even the big sharks chose to leave because the Magic management prefers Anfernee Hardaway, and wasted a pick at the end of the first round, John Gabriel Also very willing.

And why did Anfernee Hardaway choose Jonny?Of course, it was because of Lockwood's one-on-one match. Johnny directly convinced the self-esteemed Anfernee Hardaway. no.And although Anfernee Hardaway returned to the Magic, Anfernee Hardaway found that Johnny seemed to have lost his strength that time, but Anfernee Hardaway still believed in Johnny, so now Brian Hill did not give The opportunity for Jonny to play made Anfernee Hardaway feel anxious.

Why did Anfernee Hardaway let the Magic choose Jonny?Of course it is for the championship. In the case of O'Neal's Westward Journey, the Magic's strength was greatly reduced, but they did not make any effective signings. Therefore, Anfernee Hardaway almost put all his hopes on Johnny. , but now Brian Hill doesn't let Jonny play at all, which is very cheating.

Although Anfernee Hardaway doesn't like the head coach Brian Hill very much, he is not the kind of person who uses his special status to suppress his head coach from time to time, and Anfernee Hardaway still doesn't know that Brain Hill Ryan Hill actually didn't let Johnny play because he looked down on Johnny's strength. He always believed that Brian Hill didn't let Johnny play more because of his disobedience in pre-season training, so, Anfernee Hardaway took it for granted that Brian Hill would definitely let Jonny play in the regular season. After all, Jonny is the Magic's first-round rookie this season.

Therefore, in order to prevent Johnny from having other emotions, Anfernee Hardaway also specially found Johnny and comforted Johnny.

"Johnny, how's it going? Are there any problems in training recently?" Penny first pretended to be a captain, and came over to ask for warmth.

But this was seen through by Jonny at a glance. It's very simple. You just came to talk to me after the preseason is over. What did you do earlier?Jonny couldn't help lamenting that throughout the preseason, he was the only No. 15 player on the team who didn't even get a minute of playing time. A fool could see that there was a problem.

So Johnny rolled his eyes and said, "What do you think?"

Penny rubbed his nose, and said with some embarrassment: "Johnny, don't take it to heart, Coach Brian didn't let you play, maybe he has his considerations, but don't worry, he will definitely let you play in the regular season of."

"Really?" Johnny asked, he didn't believe it, anyway, according to the current posture, he would not get a chance to play.

The Magic's first opponent this season is the Washington Bullets, which will change their team name to the Wizards after the end of the season.As for the grievances between the Bullets and the Magic, it seems easy to find one. Chris Webber, one of the leading stars of the Bullets, was selected by the Magic in 93 and was used to trade for Anfernihada prestige.Therefore, the biggest highlight of this game is actually the battle between Anfernee Hardaway and Chris Webber.

However, before this game, before Jonny had time to look forward to it, he got bad news.Before each game, the head coach will announce an inactive list, because the league stipulates that only 12 players can play in each game. In this way, the Magic will have 3 players put on the inactive list.

On the inactivated list announced the day before the game, Jonny suddenly saw his name.

At that time, Johnny had the idea of ​​turning around and leaving, but he held back. He knew that even if he left now, it wouldn't help?Where are the teams willing to want him now?But Brian Hill didn't let Jonny play at all, which really made Jonny angry. After a day, Jonny was a little unhappy.

So much so that Jonny didn't listen to Anfernee Hardaway's comfort again.He didn't hear a word of what Anfernee Hardaway whispered in his ear.

Of course, on the night of the game, the other two players who were not on the roster went to watch the game. They were originally the players at the end of the bench, so they didn't care at all.And Jonny didn't go, he seemed to be using this method to protest to Brian Hill.

However, Johnny is still very concerned about this game, so he watched the live broadcast of this game in the small apartment he just rented.

Kevin Harlan is an NBC commentator, but he and ESPN are inextricably linked. He has a very good relationship with ESPN expert reporter Henry Abbott. Therefore, before the start of the game, he Received a commission from Henry Abbott, which is to belittle the rookie named Jonny Lee as much as possible.

However, when the game started, Kevin Harlan discovered that this rookie named Jonny Lee did not appear on the bench. In other words, Jonny Lee did not appear at all. Commissioned, Kevin Harlan laughed loudly: "We saw the Magic's roster, haha! The Jonny Lee who was very optimistic about the Magic before did not appear on the roster, and then contacted the preseason Jonny Lee We didn’t get even one minute of playing time, so we can draw a conclusion that Jonny Lee has been punctured by the Magic’s coaching staff, and his strength is indeed unable to gain a foothold in the NBA.”

Jonny Lee turned off the TV all at once, can't my strength gain a foothold in the NBA?Jonny Li patted the sofa bitterly.
