The Fifth Point Guard

Putting his arms around Shen Tong's shoulders, Jefferson swept away the decadence just now and was beaming.

Good buddy, needless to say, I will remember the friendship between you and Avril Lavigne, and I will treat you tonight! Jefferson was once proud.

Avril introduced her girlfriend Marib to Jefferson, and made an appointment for the four of them to meet for a meal the next time the Nets played a game in Los Angeles.

Marib is also a member of the entertainment circle, although she is not very popular, but because of her close relationship with Avril Lavigne, she has often been featured in the news about Avril Lavigne. She is considered a public figure, and her reputation is at least higher than that of Jefferson.

Jefferson, who had seen Marib himself, happily agreed to Avril's matchmaking.

According to Avril Lavigne, Marib has just ended a bad relationship and is currently single, so Jefferson has a great opportunity, and through exchanges with friends, the other party also intends to get in touch with Jefferson.

On the way out of the locker room, Jefferson's grin never closed.

As soon as he walked out, Shen Tong saw a familiar face.

Todd Mark Lodge.

Hey, you two, you seem to be in a good mood after defeating us. Mark Lodge spoke first.

brother!

Shen Tong and Jefferson stepped forward to hug Mark Lodge one by one.

Keith asked me to say hello to you both on his behalf. After parting, Mark Lodge said.

When he was in the Nets, Jefferson and Van Horn were originally competitors. It was quite good to be able to let Mark Lodge speak after a losing game.

Hey, where do we go for a drink tonight? Shen Tong suggested.

I know a good place. Mark Lodge said immediately.

Lead the way, don't worry about the price, anyway, Richard will pay tonight. Shen Tong said with a smile.

Then you must have a good drink!

The happy hour is always rather short.

Shen Tong stayed in Philadelphia for less than 24 hours, and continued to accompany the team to Orlando, the last stop of three consecutive away games.

On the plane, Shen Tong rarely regained his sleep.

Although the last two games were won by a big score and clocked in early, Shentong felt particularly exhausted.

Maybe it's because of the continuous rush to shoot commercials during the period, or it may be because of the heavy burden on the body brought by the legendary superstar experience card.

After getting on the plane, you almost just close your eyes - open them, and you're in Orlando.

This season's Orlando Magic has maintained the core lineup of last season, and the combination of Tracy McGrady and Grant Hill still leads the team to maintain sufficient competitiveness.

After using the magic potion presented by Shentong, Hill's knee injury recovered quite well, and there was no recurrence in nearly half a year.

However, it may be because of the hidden disease left over from the previous injury. Although the injury has healed, but with the intense schedule, Hill can obviously feel the gradual decline of various body functions and the loss of explosive power.

This feeling was not strong enough when he just recovered last season, but after an offseason and the tight schedule at the beginning of this season, Hill began to notice the abnormality in his body.

It can be said that the duo of Tracy McGrady and Hill is still full of appeal in the East, but there is no room for improvement and daydreams.

Compared with last season, although Hill's performance has declined, McGrady's performance has shown explosive growth.

Since the start of the game, McGrady has ranked first in the league scoring list with an average of 33 points per game. The offensive end is full of firepower. In addition to scoring, he can also contribute 6.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.8 blocks per game for the team , can be described as a full-blown explosion.

The shooting percentage is 45.7%, the three-point shooting percentage is 38.6%, and the free throw percentage is 80%, which is very efficient.

If it weren't for the fact that the Magic are currently only ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference, McGrady is likely to become the first candidate for the regular season MVP.

This season, because of Tracy McGrady, the Magic have already defeated the Kings, Spurs, Lakers and other Western giants, but they have also lost to underdogs such as the Warriors, Grizzlies, and Heat, and their performance is not stable.

But who knows, one night McGrady will suddenly explode?

Once McGrady breaks out, that day's opponent is likely to become a victim of McGrady's fiery touch.

After the team lost veteran center Patrick Ewing, another All-Star center who once dominated the league for a while, Sean Kemp landed in Orlando.

During his two years with the Trail Blazers, the veteran didn't go his way.

Trail Blazers coach Maurice Cheeks doesn't trust Kemp and only gives him about 15 minutes per game.

Before coming to the Trail Blazers, Kemp averaged 17.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks per game. The luxury data of the league's first-line center.

But after arriving in the Trail Blazers, the sudden reduction of playing time, the constant change of roles, and the disappearance of the core position made Kemp completely lost. In the last season, he could only score 6.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.3 blocks. They were different from each other before.

After ending his contract with the Trail Blazers, Kemp, who seemed to have escaped from hell, decisively rejected the Trail Blazers' contract extension, and turned to Orlando Magic, a team that lacks insiders and has the potential to compete for the championship.

Here, Doc Rivers gave Kemp the starting position and sufficient trust, ranking him third after Tracy McGrady and Hill.

Kemp's performance did not disappoint the fans of Rivers and Orlando. He scored a quasi-double-double of 9.8 points and 9.7 rebounds. He became a reliable rim protector behind McGrady and Hill, and he could also reassure McGrady and Hill. Attack the city on the offensive end.

Although Hill's decline is more obvious, he is still the first choice for the team's small forward position. He averaged 14.5 points, 7.1 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.0 steals per game. Hill, who is down about seven minutes per game, is actually more efficient than he was last season.

As for the time that originally belonged to Hill, where did it go?

That was Mike Miller's time.

Although the third-year student Miller is the team's substitute this season, he has already ranked second in the team in terms of points, second only to Tracy McGrady.

With a 34% three-point shooting rate and an average of 16.4 points and 5.8 rebounds per game, Miller has proved his worth with his strength and has become a strong contender for the best sixth man this season.

In Orlando, some fans have already called for focusing on training Miller and giving Miller more playing time. Hill's injury concerns make them feel that it is better to give the opportunity to Miller who is less risky.

In addition to the above four, Cobra Horace Grant and Darrell Armstrong are still the starting candidates for power forward and point guard.

Before the game against the Orlando Magic, Shen Tong took out the legendary experience card as usual.

But different from the previous two times, this time when Shentong took out the props, an optional task appeared in the basket god space.

here we go again!

Terrible optional quest.
