Chapter 245

After the game, Coach Van Gundy was interviewed.

Van Gundy: "Our team has some problems and we are making adjustments. This wave of away games is the biggest test for us. No matter what the result is, we will not admit defeat easily."

"As for the reason, I think everyone knows that the core of our team is absent due to injury, and the team has encountered a lot of problems on the offensive end. I need to make some tactical adjustments to make up for the impact of Bruce Qin's absence."

Coach Van Gundy is still good, and he didn't blame the players.

In these few games, when the team needed it most, Vince Carter was in a terrible state, with a shooting percentage of less than 15%, and the shooting percentage of 3 of [-] in this game was even more speechless.

Ryan Anderson was 11 for 4, Rashad Lewis was 9 for 2, and the pit teammates don't want it.

When Qin Yang was absent, outside shots were allocated. Ryan Anderson and Rashad Lewis did not complete the team's offensive tasks at all, sharing the offensive pressure.

Howard is very dissatisfied with this.

Howard is straight, like a kid.

Qin Yang received a call from Tony Batty in the evening: "Howard delivered the goods in the locker room today and scolded everyone else, among which Vince, Ryan and Rashad were scolded the worst."

Qin Yang didn't know what to say.

Spray on teammates if they don't perform well. Although it's not a public place, it's a bit too much to do so.Who can guarantee that the performance will always be good.

What's more, although the Bulls' lineup is young, it is really strong.

The defensive end is not weak. Luer Deng, Hinrich, and Noah are all strong defensive players. It is understandable for teammates to perform poorly. It is a bit too much to spray teammates like this in the locker room.

On the 5th, the Magic played away against the Pacers.

There should be no suspense that the Magic won this game.

But when it came to the game, Howard, who was dissatisfied with the team in the first two games, met his opponent. Roy Hibbert scored 26 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks in a single game, including 19 of 10 shots.

霍华德投篮6中2，罚球12中7，拿到11分15篮板的数据。

Although on the defensive end, Howard is better than Hibbert, but in this game, Hibbert is better than the Sparks, both offensively and defensively.

In this case, the Magic lost 90-97 away.

After the game, Howard was silent.

In this game, Vince Carter was 15 of 2 and his shooting percentage was less than [-]%.

After losing this game, they returned to the home court on the 6th, and the Magic played against the Raptors at home.

After consecutive losses, Qin Yang applied for an early comeback.

In fact, Qin Yang's sprained ankle was only a small problem, and the injury has almost healed. After the past ten days, Qin Yang began to train normally with the help of the trainer.

But for safety reasons, Coach Van Gundy still didn't allow it.

Howard stood up even more, with a smile on his face: "Bruce, don't worry, the opponents in the next game are the Raptors and Wizards, and we will definitely not lose again."

The other players also nodded in agreement.

After losing two games in a row, the players of the Magic team felt a little bad. Now that they are back at home, they must stabilize their state and move back to the next game.

After all, the Raptors are a weak team.

Seeing this situation, Qin Yang smiled wryly, not knowing what to say.

On the 6th, the home game against the Raptors.

The Magic were in high spirits, and Howard succeeded in attacking consecutively at the basket in the first quarter.

But...it's of no use.

The Raptors performed well like a bloody chicken. The starting player Jarrett Jack played steadily from the outside, scoring 15 points and 8 assists. Turkoglu even completed his revenge against the Magic. He made 12 of 6 shots and scored 17 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. Bosh scored 18 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists. DeRozan scored 9 of 8 and scored 17 points.

The Raptors are in excellent form, with 6 players in double figures and a strong away win.

Vince Carter was 7 for 2, Pietrus was 4 for 0, and Redick was 15 for 4. The shooting rate is shockingly low. The Magic's shooting rate is 41%, while the Raptors' shooting rate is 56%. In this case, it is almost impossible for the Magic to win.

Qin Yang watched his teammates keep hitting the iron on the court, and he felt so uncomfortable that he would die.

After the game, Qin Yang was surrounded by the media without leaving the arena.

Qin Yang:

"I'm sorry that I was absent when the team needed me the most, but I don't think this is the key. The key is that we need to stabilize our mentality, unify our goal and move forward for this goal. Except for some problems in the team now, I believe we can improve it. As for the comeback? I won't do it, because the team doesn't need me to do it, and my injury is already healed, so there is no need to pay in advance."

After accepting the interview, Qin Yang returned to the locker room.

Howard was sullen and silent, and the others went about their own business without sharing any jokes.

"Hey, hello, guys, don't go anywhere tonight, I'm treating guests to dinner, everyone has to come!" Qin Yang smiled and clapped his hands, the Magic players had some vitality and responded to Qin Yang one after another.

"No problem, I still remember the Chinese food last time."

"Let's go together later."

Qin Yang greeted his teammates and walked out of the locker room to find the coach. Coach Van Gundy hesitated and accepted Qin Yang's invitation.

For dinner, Qin Yang doesn't like going to nightclubs, so the place is in Qin Yang's rented house.

As for the food, Qin Yang invited the chef of the Chinese restaurant in Orlando.

In the evening, the Magic players held a party at Qin Yang's residence. Vince Carter, Tony Batty and others brought their families, and the atmosphere was very friendly.

Coach Van Gundy also took the time to exchange a few words with the players in a low voice. The solemn atmosphere of the Magic recently eased a lot after the dinner.

Whether the team can win, many times the key is not off the court.

Throughout the championship-level teams, the atmosphere in the team is particularly good. Whether it is the head coach or the team's main players and main substitutes, the relationship is relatively harmonious.

Even if they leave after the season, they are separated peacefully, and there are few quarrels.

Disagreements between players, lack of tacit cooperation on the court, it is easy to lose at critical moments, so most of the strong teams in the league have a good atmosphere, and the team that has been unable to support the team must have a problem with the atmosphere in the team.

After a day of rest, on January 1, the Magic traveled to Washington to play against the Washington Wizards.

The Wizards have a lot of problems recently. The team's core general, Arenas, was suspended for holding a gun. Arenas, who had just come back, faced a situation where he had no ball to play.

The Wizards' perimeter has become a combination of Antawn Jamison, Caron Butler and Randy Foye.

The Wizards have always been considered Arenas' team, but the Wizards are not weak except that they are weak inside. Even Randy Foye, who played instead of Arenas, is very strong.

Randy Foye was hacked out of Xiang as a player who was traded for Brandon Roy.

Every time Timberwolves fans see Randy Foye, their hearts ache: Return my Brandon Roy.

However, in all fairness, Randy Foye is not weak.

In this game, the Wizards broke out from the outside.
