nba: No. 1 Forward Chapter 559 Hardaway's Evaluation
Lian Dao also noticed what just happened.
He is also a little more vigilant about the Magic without Howard.
Historically, it seems that the Pacers faced the Magic because of carelessness, and they failed miserably in the first game of the opening game.
At that time, the Pacers were once ridiculed by the media.
Although the Knicks are stronger than the Pacers, it is basically impossible for the Magic to win.
But the playoffs themselves are a place where miracles happen.
Be careful, there is nothing wrong with it!
…
That night, in the eyes of all.
The series opener between the Knicks and the Magic kicked off at Madison Square Garden.
The game attracted a considerable number of fans watching the game.
Although the Knicks have made the playoffs for three consecutive years and won the championship last year.
But Knicks fans still enjoy it.
They held banners, cheering signs, and Knicks logo camouflage on their faces, and they came to Madison Garden or waited by the TV.
Compared with the Knicks, thousands of miles away in Florida, Orlando fans are extremely sad.
The head superstar Howard's season reimbursement made Orlando fans lose their expectations for the Magic's playoff journey.
Especially in the face of the league's defending champion Knicks, almost everyone is not optimistic about the Magic, including Orlando fans.
Therefore, some Magic fans would rather not watch this game in order not to see the team lose.
But there are also some fans who still have a glimmer of hope for the team, expecting to see the team recover from a desperate situation.
Of course, on the other side of the ocean, domestic fans also waited in front of the TV early.
Domestic fans don't care who the Knicks' opponent is, and they no longer care about the strength of the opponent.
Fans of other people may expect to see the excitement of the game, but domestic fans want to see the Knicks can easily advance.
Nothing else, just because they only support Lian Dao and the Knicks.
And domestic fans, like Lian Dao, are also looking forward to the Knicks' ability to defend their title this season.
Entering the 21st century, except for the Lakers who have won consecutive championships, no other team has achieved consecutive championships.
If the Knicks do, they'll be the new "Enemy of the League!"
The Knicks have also been blocked by some teams this season, but they are still a long way from the real "public enemy of the league".
This is mainly because the Knicks' honor is not enough.
Two consecutive championships can truly allow a team to complete the role exchange from challenger to challenged.
As long as the Knicks can defend their title this season, they will be the biggest boss in the league, bar none.
Just like the Lakers after winning two consecutive championships, their strength has not increased since then.
But last season, the league's assessment of their strength was still the first in the league, even if the newly formed Heat Big Three were behind them.
And last season, all teams in the league challenged the status of the Lakers, and even prevented the establishment of the Lakers dynasty.
In the end, the Lakers still didn't make it through, and the playoffs fell into the hands of the Mavericks.

However, Lian Dao hopes to experience the addiction of a boss, and the thrill of a dragon-slaying boy becoming a giant dragon, and Lian Dao also wants to experience it for himself.
…
After the warm-up, the scene entered the opening ceremony, and the starting lineups of the two teams were also announced.
As the visiting team, the Magic are the first to play, and the starting lineup is also the first to come out.
Jamal Nelson, Jason Richardson, Hedo Turkoglu, Ryan Anderson, Glenn Davis.
On the Knicks side, it is still the previous full starting lineup.
Holiday, Danny Green, Lian Dao, Stoudemire, Cousins.
For tonight's commentary, espn sent their ace commentator Mike Breen, and his partner is still Jeff Van Gundy.
At the same time, they also invited a guest commentator, the star of the Magic, "Penny" Anfernee Hardaway who chose to retire in 2007.
Elegant and smart style of play, top talent, 2.01 meters tall, but a unique point guard.
At the same time, he is also the first successor appointed by the leader of Qiao Gang.
Even the Magic led by him and O'Neal eliminated the Bulls led by Michael Jordan's first comeback and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals.
Playing picturesquely, he is called the combination of Jordan and magician.
But in the end, continuous battles with injuries ruined Hardaway's career, and it came to an abrupt end at the peak.
The reason why he was invited, first of all, he is a legend of the Magic team.
The second is Lian Dao's 20+ assists in a row at the end of the season, allowing him to win the assist king in one fell swoop.
At that time, when some media questioned Lian Dao's assisting behavior, Hardaway actually spoke for Lian Dao on social platforms.
"If selflessness counts, is basketball still a team sport?"
And Hardaway's words have also been well received by the majority of netizens.
Recently, Hardaway can also be regarded as a retired star with relatively high popularity.
So this time ESPN invited him to come, also to create topical degree.
They wanted to know which side Hardaway would choose to support in the face of his old club and Lian Dao.
The game has not yet started, Hardaway, who is a legend of the Magic, first established his position, and he still supports the Magic.
Although he knew there was no hope for the Magic, he still stood by his old club.
But Mike Breen still asked Hardaway about Lian Dao's crazy assists at the end of the season.
Hardaway is still on Lian Dao's side.
"I think it's nonsense to say that sickle gets assists!"
"The first time I saw his pass was from the top five highlights, the elegant, elusive pass caught my eye as soon as it appeared!"
"After that, I even found videos of almost all games about Sickle!"
"Sickle's talent is very high. To be honest, I can't help being envious of such a talent!"
"But as a No. 1, what I admire most is his passing, which is smart and imaginative."
"Especially when Sickle is on the court, he is like a general who controls the whole court. He can always control the rhythm of the game and put the ball in the hands of his teammates."

"This is a must-have skill for a great court commander!"
"The most important thing is that Sickle didn't pass the ball for the sake of passing. Every pass of his is creating the best scoring opportunity for his teammates!"
"Yes, a good pass is to create opportunities for teammates!"
"That's why I said, there is no assists at all!"
Fans of the Magic team saw Hardaway's speech through the live broadcast, and their heads were full of black lines.
Are you supporting the Magic? I see that you clearly want to watch the sickle match live!
Mike Brin nodded while listening, but the corner of his mouth couldn't help but smile.
Co-author Hardaway only supports the Magic verbally, and supports Lian Dao psychologically.
Especially when he praised Lian Dao, Mike Brin had an inexplicable sense of familiarity Then he turned his head to look at the expression of approval on Little Van Gundy's face, and instantly reacted.
That's right, just like Van Gundy Jr., he is definitely a fan of Lian Dao.
…
As soon as they finished chatting, the two sides began to jump the ball.
Cousins turned the ball back to the Knicks half, and the playoffs officially began!
The Knicks' tactics are still the same as before, taking advantage of Lian Dao's advantages and attacking Lian Dao as soon as he comes up.
Moreover, Lian Dao's current dominance in the game does not require teammates to perform pick-and-rolls against ordinary teams.
Because of one-on-one, most people can't defend Lian Dao at all, which has been proved throughout the season.
Likewise, 33-year-old Hedo Turkoglu knew he couldn't defend Lian Dao.
Therefore, the Magic team attacked decisively as soon as they came up. Lian Dao didn't force it at the beginning and passed the ball decisively.
Using Lian Dao's restraining power to cooperate, this is D'Antoni's tactic.
Stoudemire received the ball and directly attacked the frame, two steps away from Ryan Anderson, and completed a dunk directly across Glenn Davis.
It can be seen that Stoudemire's state in the playoffs is much higher than the regular season.
This is the benefit of the rotation, whether it is state or physical fitness, and the desire to compete is directly full.
Looking back, the Magic played tactics in the frontcourt.
It is said to play tactics, but the entire Magic team has no tactics at all.
Especially after their two wonderful trades last season, they sent Carter away and ushered in Hedo Turkoglu.
But at the same time, Howard's qualified substitute Gortat was also sent away.
The second wonderful deal is to send away the billionaire Mr. Lewis and usher in Arenas, a team cancer.
