After the game, Coach Van Gundy was interviewed.

Van Gundy: "We've had some problems in the team, we're making adjustments, this away game is the biggest test for us, no matter what the result is, we won't throw in easily. ”

"As for the reason, I think everyone knows that the core of our team is out due to injury, the team has a big problem on the offensive end, and 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 doesn't blame the players.

In these games, when the team needed it most, Vince Carter was in a very poor state, with a shooting rate of less than 40%, and the shooting rate of 3 of 15 in this game was even more speechless.

Ryan Anderson was 4-of-11, Rashad Lewis was 2-of-9, and his teammates in the pit didn't want to.

When Qin Yang was absent, the outside shots were divided, and Ryan Anderson and Rashad Lewis did not complete the team's offensive task at all and share the pressure on the offensive end.

Howard was unhappy about this.

Howard was a straight, like a child.

Qin Yang received a call from Tony Barty in the evening: "Howard delivered the goods in the locker room today, scolded the others, and his Chinese, Ryan and Rashad were scolded the worst." ”

Qin Yang didn't know what to say.

If your teammates don't play well, you spray your teammates, although it's not in public, but it's a bit too much. 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, Ruhr Deng, Hinrich, and Noah are all defensive strongmen, and it is understandable that teammates do not play well, and it is a bit too much to spray teammates in the locker room.

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

There should be no suspense that the Magic will win this game.

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

Howard shot 2-of-6 from the field and 7-of-12 from the free-throw line to finish with 11 points and 15 rebounds.

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

In this case, the Magic lost 90-97 on the road.

After the game, Howard was silent.

In this game, Vince Carter was 2 of 15, and the shooting rate was less than 30%, which is simply impossible to say, and the performance of the demigods in these games is simply unlimited for his teammates.

Losing this game, No. 6 returned home, and the Magic hosted the Raptors.

After losing consecutive games, Qin Yang applied for an early comeback.

In fact, Qin Yang's sprained ankle was only a minor problem, the injury had already healed, and after the past ten days, Qin Yang began to start normal training with the help of the trainer.

But to be on the safe side, Coach Van Gundy still didn't allow it.

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

The other players nodded in agreement.

After losing two games in a row, the Magic players are feeling a little in a bad mood, and now that they are back at home, they must stabilize their form and move back to a game.

After all, the Raptors are a weak team.

Qin Yang smiled slightly bitterly when he saw this, and he didn't know what to say.

No. 6, home game against the Raptors.

The Magic team was high-spirited, and Howard even scored a series of offenses under the basket in the first quarter.

But...... It's not an egg.

The Raptors played well like chicken blood, the starting embarrassed brother Jarrett Jack played steadily outside, scoring 15 points and 8 assists, and Turkoglu completed his revenge on the Magic, shooting 6 of 12, getting 17 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, Bosh 18 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists, DeRozan 8 of 9, and scored 17 points.

The Raptors are in great form, with six players in double figures and a strong away victory.

Vince Carter was 2-of-7, Petrus was 0-of-4, and Redick was 4-of-15, with a downrageously low shooting percentage, with the Magic shooting 41% and the Raptors shooting 56%, making it almost impossible for the Magic to win.

Qin Yang watched his teammates keep striking iron on the court, and he was so uncomfortable that he died.

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

Qin Yang:

'I'm sorry I was absent when the team needed me the most, but I don't think that's the key, it's about the mentality, the unity of mind and the goal and moving towards it, and now there are some problems in the team and I'm sure we can move it over. As for embodying a comeback? I'm not going to do it because the team doesn't need me to do it and I'm already healed from my injury, so there's no need to give in advance. ”

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

Howard kept his face silent, and the others went their own way and didn't tell jokes and communicate.

"Hey, hey, guys, don't go anywhere tonight, I'm having a treat for dinner, everyone is coming!" Qin Yang smiled and clapped his hands, the players of the Magic team had some vitality and responded to Qin Yang one after another.

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

"Let's go later."

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

Dinner, Qin Yang doesn't like to go to nightclubs or anything, the place is in the house Qin Yang rented.

As for the meal, it was the chef of the Orlando Chinese restaurant invited by Qin Yang.

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

Coach Van Gundy also found time to whisper a few words to the players, and the Magic's solemn atmosphere recently was much soothed after the dinner.

Whether a team can win or not, in many cases, is not the key to being off the field.

Looking at the championship-level teams, the atmosphere in the team is particularly good, and the relationship between the head coach and the team's main players and the main substitutes is relatively harmonious.

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

The players do not agree with each other, the cooperation on the field is not tacit enough, and 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 not been able to support the team must have a problem with the atmosphere in the team.

After a day of rest, on January 8, the Magic traveled to Washington to play the Washington Wizards.

The Wizards have had a lot of problems lately, with Arenas, the team's core general, suspended for gun-to-goal, and Arenas, who has just returned shortly after his return, is facing a no-ball situation.

The Wizards' outside line became a combination of Antoine Jamison, Caron Butler and Randy Foye.

The Wizards have always been considered Arenas' team, but the Wizards are not weak except for a slightly weaker interior, even Randy Fuye, who replaced Arenas, is very strong.

As a player who once traded for Brandon Roy, Randy Foye was hacked out of Xiang.

Timberwolves fans feel pain in their hearts every time they see Randy Foye: Give me back Brandon Roy.

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

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