Chapter 88 Big Victory and Trading (for collection)
In the second half of the third quarter and the first half of the fourth quarter, Johnny began to disrupt the opponent's rhythm with unexpected attacks. Originally, the Knicks' double-teaming of Johnny's defense was a bit chaotic, but it was a bit of a mess by Johnny for a while. An emergency stop jump shot, a running shot, and then an unexpected pass, the Knicks' defensive rhythm against Jonny was completely messed up.

On the defensive end, Jonny did a very good job of restricting Alan Houston. In this game, he surprisingly scored 5 blocks, and the fourth quarter was just halfway through. Under Jonny's crazy scoring efforts , The Magic actually sealed the victory in advance. With 5 minutes left in the game, the Magic led by 22 points. This point difference can already guarantee the Magic's victory.

And Jonny, who fought hard for the whole game and barely rested, was replaced by Rich Adubatu, and the Knicks also replaced all the main players, declaring their surrender.

"The Magic unexpectedly led the Knicks by 22 points. This point difference can already ensure that they win this game. We can see that the Knicks have replaced all the main players and they have surrendered. And this time In the game, Jonny scored 39 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 5 blocks. In the second half of the third quarter and the first half of the fourth quarter, he faced the Knicks' double-team defense and scored consecutively. Or assist teammates to score, and finally help the Magic win this game, it can be said that Jonny has proved himself in this game!"

"Jony proved that he is not just an ordinary star, he can become a superstar. In this game, he led the team to defeat the Knicks alone, which can already prove his strength, especially in the third and fourth quarters. In the first quarter of the game, Johnny played unstoppable, and he has already proved himself very well!"

The two commentators of NBC did not hesitate to praise Jonny. It is true that although Jonny only scored 39 points in this game, judging from the performance of the whole game and the impact on the team, this game Johnny's performance was even better than the two consecutive games in which he broke the scoring record in a single quarter in his career debut and the second game. After all, Johnny led the team alone in this game, and with his own efforts, the Magic Beat the Knicks with Patrick Ewing, Allan Houston, Larry Johnson and John Starks!This is surprising and astounding.

And when the timer buzzed at the end of the game, Alan Houston was ashamed. He was completely blown out by Johnny in this game. If he was blown out by Nick Anderson and Johnny last time, he could still find If I am not in good form, and if I attribute the reason for my poor form to Nick Anderson's defense rather than Jonny's performance, in this game, Jonny single-handedly killed him, and Alan Houston also found a helper, one is John Starks, the other is another Knicks player who double-teams.As a result, Jonny covered John Starks out of the old injury by himself, and directly broke his own double-team in a surprising state, which made Alan Houston lose face.

Not only did he fail to regain his place in the previous game, he even found a helper in this game, but he still lost to Jonny!
Anyway, in this game, Johnny became a superstar, and Alan Houston was just a clown to accompany Johnny. Even the entire Knicks, the entire New York, became a supporting role in this game, even the A supporting villain, at least from the courtside crowd at Madison Square Garden as the game drew to a close.

The Knicks fans started to leave early, and they no longer had the expectations before the game started.

The news media on the second day began to praise Jonny Lee's performance in this game.

"Jony Lee proved himself in the first battle. In this game, he was double-teamed by the Knicks at the most critical moment of the game, but surprisingly, he broke the double-team of the Knicks and scored consecutively. His performance can already prove that he is a superstar, or that he has the potential to become a superstar. Without Anfernee Hardaway, Jonny almost led the Magic to grab a game from Madison Square Garden alone. Victory, this is the strength of a superstar!"

"On the other hand, Alan Houston, who clamored to get back to the last match between the two sides before this game, encountered even more tragic things in this game. Not only did he fail to guard Johnny, even with the help of his teammates, He couldn’t defend Johnny, and even on the defensive end, he was blocked by Johnny three times in a row. It can be said that this game is not only a battle of honor for Johnny, but also a battle of shame for Alan Houston.”

In this game, Johnny proved his ability in the first battle. The praises flying all over the media also made Johnny a little excited. After the game, Nick Anderson was equally excited. He scored 16 points in this game, plus 5 rebounds and 2 assists, the statistics are not very outstanding, but he completely restricted the former All-Star player Larry Johnson in this game against the Knicks. It can be said that this is indeed Nick Anderson showing his defensive strength .

Under such circumstances, Nick Anderson feels that even if Dennis Scott returns now, it will be difficult to pose a threat to his starting position.

But just when Nick Anderson was looking forward to the future and felt that he had seized the starting position by relying on his outstanding performance in this game, a deal was exposed.

After the game against the Knicks, John Gabriel's trading operation also came to an end. He searched around for a trading partner and finally confirmed the Raptors' swingman Doug Christie as a supplement for the team's outside single-defense players. Strong, and this deal was originally very easy. After all, Nick Anderson is stronger than Doug Christie, who has just started this season and has just shown his defensive talent, both in terms of current strength and reputation.

The problem lies in another player. Marcus Camby, the No. [-] pick selected by the Raptors today, has performed mediocre since he started. After hearing about Doug Christie's deal, Marcus Camby's agent Put pressure on the Raptors' management, hoping to be traded to the Magic.In fact, two months after the start of the season, the Raptors' management no longer expected Marcus Camby's strength. The Raptors hesitated about Camby's request for a trade. After a short while, he agreed, and then continued to negotiate the deal with the Magic.

For the Magic, one of the team's two insiders is old and the other can only attack. Marcus Camby did not show his offensive talent in the Raptors, but his defensive talent is impressive. .But the negotiation of this deal lasted for a long time, because the Raptors hoped to get Ronnie Secali, and the Magic were only willing to send Hollis Grant, and the two sides got stuck in this ring.

In the end, the deal was completed, but the Raptors made a concession, because the news that Marcus Camby was seeking a transfer had already been passed on by interested people, and now the Raptors could no longer wait, and they proposed another plan , quickly completed the transaction.

At the end of the game between the Magic and the Knicks, the Magic officially announced that they traded Hollis Grant, Nick Anderson and Gerald Wilkins from the Raptors for Doug Christie, Marcus Camby and Sharon White, in addition to these three players, because the Raptors have a lot of salary space, after the completion of this transaction, the Magic also got a huge transaction exception. Of course, for the current Magic, this transaction exception is for them It's useless to say.

After the deal was completed, the Magic got Doug Christie, one of the Five Tigers of the Kings. Now he is just a player who has just started in the NBA and is slowly showing his offensive talent.And Marcus Camby, the No. [-] pick this year, has a very strong defense. It should be said that Camby's arrival can stabilize the Magic's restricted area. At least the next time he meets O'Neal, if Camby can show an excellent state If so, the Magic even have a chance to directly guard O'Neal.

And like Patrick Ewing in the previous game, he can also do whatever he wants inside the Magic, but the arrival of Camby can alleviate this to a large extent.

As for the last player, Sharon White, he is purely an addition. Sharon White’s salary is as high as more than 300 million. It is a model of draft failure being included in the first-round contract. Of course, the current Magic doesn't care about this, especially considering this season, Sharon White's contract is only two years away.In other words, Sharon White's contract will expire next season, and it can be used as a bargaining chip by then.

And this deal quickly ignited the entire NBA. The Magic's deal is not big, but it has a great impact on the Magic and the entire league. After all, after this deal, the Magic's insiders have Obviously strengthened, even the current Camby is stronger than Hollis Grant, and for the Magic, the loss of this deal to them is only the loss of the outside substitute.

But with Brian Shaw, Darryl Armstrong, and Dennis Scott, the Magic's bench is still strong, and Doug Christie's defensive strength and potential have been recognized by many people. This deal is a surefire win for the Magic.

And the Magic made money, so for other teams in the league, this is their new opponent. Through this deal, the Magic has shown signs of returning to the ranks of championship contenders.
