Chapter 432 The Magician Makes an Emergency Comeback!

The Magic's last breath, which had been tight, died as Li Shengli blocked the shot, and 5 seconds was too short. As soon as the Mavericks served... the game turned into rugby. Kidd took the ball and frantically circled the Magic players. Running, using up the last time.

The total score of the game is 55:54!

…

In this evil Christmas war...

The Mavericks opened a winning streak that had been dusty for more than 20 years, surpassing the Bucks led by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and temporarily ranked second in history with 21 consecutive games. What's terrible is that the winning streak has not ended yet, and the winning streak has not yet ended. It is possible to continue.

At the same time, the Mavericks and Magic simultaneously opened a new record for the team's lowest score in a single game.

Although in ancient times, the Pistons and the Lakers played a god-level game at 19:18, there was no 24-second rule at that time, and the record holder was the Hawks' 57 points.

Well now, the Magic 54 occupies a record of first place, and the Mavericks 55 occupies a record of second place.

Leaving aside the team, Li Shengli and O'Neal both got their respective triple-doubles before the end of the game...Li Shengli 16+28+10+3; O'Neal 14+28+10+3.

28 rebounds + 10 blocks in a single game?

This thing is quite amazing. Even if 28 rebounds does not make it into the top ten or 10 blocks in a single game in history, it will be the same, but when the two are combined, it will be different. After all, looking at the historical single game lists of rebounds and blocks , those with rebounds don’t have many blocks, and those with blocks don’t have many rebounds.

Li Shengli and O'Neal... Scorpion Baba is the only one!

Of course, Kidd and Hardaway are also very independent. In this special game, they got a triple-double of points, rebounds, and turnovers, which was a bit embarrassing.

…

Is the Christmas war still going on like this?

No one would have thought of this situation before the game.

Speaking of which, fans watch the fun, and each team’s views are different from the fans. When their own team is not playing, they naturally have to watch their opponents’ games. Not to mention the collective poisoning of both sides on the offensive end, the Magic, the team that won the finals last season, also Putting it aside...all teams were surprised to find that the Mavericks' jump in strength was much bigger and bigger than they imagined.

What kind of magical defense is this from the Mavericks?

Li Shengli dominates the penalty area, Garnett is invincible in assisting defense, and coupled with Crotty, a master of outside defense, there is really very little weak side left for the opponent, and the offensive end does not look at this game...

Li Shengli and the non-core team couldn't handle it. Garnett's big jump shot from the outside, instantly pulled an inside line, and complemented each other well with Li Shengli. There was also a long-range Curry on the outside, and finally Kidd was included in the lead. This situation doesn't require him to have much offensive ability at all.

How far can this lineup go?

21 consecutive wins, is this the end?

So far, no one dares to say for sure, but what is certain is... the Western Conference's playoff pattern has changed drastically from before. The Mavericks are no longer as simple as grabbing a playoff spot. Maybe they can win everyone. They all got off their horses.

…

The game has been played, but many people still find it difficult to calm down. Not only the two sides of the game and the fans watching the game, but also the management of each team during the lineup reconstruction period, and the most important thing is... the great success of the 92 center center. The centers have grown up for three and a half seasons. After this season, the rookie contracts of the top players will end. Teams interested in rebuilding cannot fail to notice this.

Compared to gambling-style drafts, wealthy teams prefer to use big contracts to recruit stars, and the Lakers are a typical example.

It's not scary to have money and no one. What's scary is to have no money and no one.

If the Lakers want to rebuild their glory, the battle for the center after the end of this season is particularly important. Magic Johnson, the famous player who has retreated behind the scenes of the Lakers, is also watching this game closely on Christmas Eve and resumed his duties the next day. Job, found the Lakers management.

…

"Did you watch yesterday's game? You know, I'm talking about the one when the Mavericks played the Magic!"

"Look, we are considering this matter now, but the problem is not as simple as we thought. Lee, O'Neal, and Mourning can all be our targets. The real problem is...the amount of our contract must be high. Only if it is very high can it be possible for these people to give up the original team lineup." Harris, the head coach of the Lakers at the time, said.

"Think about it...the Magic only had a lack of experience as a team last season, otherwise they might not have allowed the Rockets to reach the top. Will O'Neal choose a big contract or the hope of hitting the championship?"

"The same goes for Lee. The strength of the Mavericks' lineup has surprised the entire league. Compared to O'Neal, I think there is greater hope of pursuing him because he has already won two rings."

"But I think the safest person is Mourning. Although his data is not as good as that of Lee and O'Neal, what you need to know is that the price he can offer is definitely much lower than the other two, which means we have more capital. Reinforcing other positions is also his best choice."

Harris has the right to make suggestions but not to make decisions, and his views are both agreed and opposed by the management. Magic is one of the opponents.

Although he does not hold a concurrent team position for the time being, his status in the Lakers is unshakable. The outside world said that he played from the first position to the fifth position, but the fact is... He also served as the Lakers coach and assistant coach. It's just a matter of being a referee and 'playing the whole game'.

"No, please take a long-term view!" Magic shook his head. "A young superstar with great potential, if the situation is right, can make us stable for ten seasons without any problem. If you want to chase, chase the best, believe me, Lee and O'Neal have to be our first choices."

"Ervin, I hope you can understand that the Mavericks' lineup is not comparable to ours now. We don't have the right role players to adapt to him. Even if we increase the contract, you think they may give up. Will the mature lineups of the Mavericks and Magic switch to our Lakers?"

"Why is it impossible? Who said we don't have anyone?"

"Who else?" Harris asked.

"Me!" The magician's face froze, "Am I qualified?"

"Erwin, you...your body..."

"I don't need to worry about anything!" Magic waved his hand, "I will come back in the next few games, and I have already talked about this with the general manager, so try to make the news of my comeback as big as possible. Believe me, I have With the ability to make a final contribution to the team, as long as it is Lee or O'Neal... either one will do!"

…

Is Magic Johnson coming back?

To be honest, as the head coach, Harris is not optimistic about Magic. Even if he is a top player in the league at his peak, it has been four years since he retired. Who can say for sure whether he can play or not?

To put it ten thousand steps back, it is just a magician who is at the end of his career and is an "old bone". Can such a lineup really attract super giants to join a team?

Putting aside everything else, the only good news for the Lakers now is...

The Magic and the Mavericks, these two teams have always had little salary space. The price of renewing a big contract is not small, and the feasibility depends on their management's expectations for the coming season, and both teams have ranked among the top three. It depends on who is more courageous and can compete with his own family for the bride price.

at the same time……

The Lakers took action upon hearing the news, and there was no reason for their old friends and Celtics to just sit there. Naturally, this robbery also affected Boston. Even if it was all private contact, this kind of thing could not be hidden from anyone.

In this regard, all the teams in the league have seen through it without saying anything, and it is useless to say it. After all, small ball markets have no money and they only cultivate stars. Big ball markets have money and just eat what is ready. Only the management of the Mavericks and Magic It's a bit confusing, I always feel like I'm being cheated on.
