Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the end, the Seattle SuperSonics defeated the Orlando Magic again by 26 points. Stephen left the game early again and his data did not increase further. However, it was Wilt Chamberlain and the Magic who achieved two consecutive triple-doubles in the finals.  He is the third person after Johnson, and his two triple-doubles were both high-scoring triple-doubles such as 30 and 40 points. He even broke Jerry West's record for the highest score in the Finals triple-double.  Wilt Chamberlain and Magic Johnson both recorded fewer points in their triple-doubles.

    Every triple-double record is precious. Even Magic Johnson only got 138 triple-doubles in his entire career, and Oscar Robertson, who averaged a triple-double throughout the season, only had 138 triple-doubles.  One hundred and eighty-one triple-doubles, let alone a playoff triple-double or a triple-double in the Finals.

    Stephen may not be able to catch up with the two of them in total triple-doubles, nor can he catch up with the current Jason Kidd, but his triple-doubles at critical moments or in important games are as outstanding as Larry Bird or Michael Jordan.  He's not known for being an all-around star, but triple-doubles still aren't any problem for him when he wants or needs to do so.

    Just like a capable person who is omnipotent, he disdains or does not need to deliberately challenge any records, but these magical or great data come to him naturally, which does not need to be deliberately pursued.

    With two big wins and consecutive triple-doubles, Stephen's reputation has once again resounded throughout the basketball world. His status as a superstar and the number one player in the league today has become more and more stable. When those in the industry and historical figures mention Stephen, they are all  They were full of praise, and when they mentioned Stephen, they all regretted that they could not live in the same era as Stephen. Of course, these people were the winners of their time, but the losers did not dare to mention such topics.

    Generally speaking, those who dare to speak casually in the media are usually the so-called winners who have ruled an era, while those losers usually do not talk about such topics, such as John Stockton, that  Even though he is the double king of total assists and total steals in the history of the league, he will not express any opinions to the media. At the same time, although Patrick Ewing is still active in the basketball field, he rarely makes certain comments.  Ask a question, even if it involves the New York Knicks.

    Except for people like Charles Barkley who are relatively shameless due to professional needs, most people who have not been very successful in their careers will not come to the limelight.

    Especially since Stephen has the potential to become the ruler of an era, with immeasurable achievements. At this time, those who can be compared with Stephen are not just Hall of Fame players or top 50 superstars, but kings.

    Although some players have excellent statistics, they do not have championships or other valuable personal honors such as the regular season MVP. While some players have honors such as championships or regular season MVPs, they have not been able to win them.  Without personal data, such a player would naturally be embarrassed to stand up and say anything.

    Although Stephen is young, he does not have to mention any of the personal honors he deserves. Two Finals Most Valuable Players, very likely to win the third one; two Regular Season Most Valuable Players; All-Star Most Valuable Players.  Player; Best Defensive Player, basically the honors that individuals should have, Stephen has a lot of them, and he already has two championships in hand, and is very likely to win the third one. For a player whose career has only been four years  It is already very rare. Only Magic Johnson achieved such a huge achievement as soon as he entered the league.

    Stephen rarely responds to these overt and covert comments. Even if he is forced to do so sometimes, he responds to the praises of his predecessors in a humble tone. Stephen really doesn't care about these. His reputation is sometimes very important.  Important, but for players who have reached his level, there is no need to rely on hype to increase their popularity. Even if some blind guys try to provoke themselves to improve themselves, Stephen has to see if the other party is qualified to respond.  , if it is the kind of rookie who is really talented and talented, Stephen would not mind teaching him a lesson to make him realize that the world is far more cruel than he thought. For those arrogant people who only have lip service, Stephen will continue to teach him a lesson.  I was too lazy to respond.

    The day after the second game, all members of the SuperSonics team arrived at Orlando International Airport. As the busiest airport in Florida, it was noisy even in the early morning because Orlando has the largest airport in the world.  Disney theme park, so there are many tourists here, especially tourists from Asia and China. When the SuperSonics team's special plane arrived at the airport, there happened to be a plane from China landing here, and they saw Yao Minna from a distance.  The tall figure suddenly shouted loudly, and the airport security guards hurried over to stop them. If they came over, they would be in trouble. StephenThey immediately got on the bus.

    "Did you see that Brother Yao has far more fans in China than me? This is proof. Otherwise, why wouldn't people call me by my name?" As soon as he sat down, Stephen said to everyone, and everyone suddenly laughed,  Stephen used to tell them how famous Yao Ming was in China, but many of them didn't believe it.

    Yao Ming scratched his head and said depressedly: "That's because I'm eye-catching, not because I'm famous."

    "Brother Yao, is the only creature on earth that can rival you in height?" Coupard also joked about Yao Ming.

    "No, there are elephants." Kevin Durant also said on the side.

    "Serge, come back and lead the elephant from your house to compete with Brother Yao." Russell Westbrook also joined in the fun, and Yao Mingguang was left laughing.

    The atmosphere in the SuperSonics team was very relaxed, and they didn't take the third game against the Orlando Magic seriously. Indeed, they won the first two games too easily. It felt like they didn't exert much effort in the two games.  Just take it down, why don't you tell the Sonics players to look down upon it.

    This atmosphere is neither good nor bad. If it can be controlled well, it will not cause much harm to the team. Similarly, this is also a sign of confidence, especially for young players.  It is said that in this relaxed and confident atmosphere, it is easier to perform well.

    As soon as the Orlando Magic returned to Orlando, they began to conduct post-game summaries and conduct mobilization discussions. After all, they returned to their own home court. Even if they lost the series in the end, at least they could not be swept. For the sake of dignity  , that is, for the sake of face, they must also get a victory. With constant mobilization, the morale of the Orlando Magic has rebounded.

    At this time, even Orlando fans don¡¯t have that much hope for the championship, but again, they are never willing to be swept, so fans go to the team every day to cheer for them.

    The history of the Orlando Magic is very short. It was one year later than the Miami Heat and Charlotte Hornets (now the New Orleans Hornets). It entered the league in the same year as the Minnesota Timberwolves, but it became a league within a few years of its establishment.  One of the strongest teams.

    Because when they got the No. 1 pick for the first time, they selected one of the strongest players in history, Shaq O'Neal. Although they did not enter the playoffs that year, they had the best record among the teams that failed to enter the playoffs.  position, in this case, their probability of getting the No. 1 pick is the lowest, but they used the lowest probability to get the No. 1 pick again, and then they used the No. 1 pick to select Chris Webber, the Golden State Warriors' favorite, and traded Chris Webber for  Here comes their favorite "Penny" Hardaway and three first-round picks.

    Shaq O'Neal and Penny Hardaway entered the playoffs in the first season when they cooperated, and entered the finals in the second season. Unfortunately, they encountered "Big Dream" Olajuwon and "Glider" Dray.  Kesler's Houston Rockets.

    Shaq O'Neal was a little immature in front of "Big Dream" Olajuwon, and ultimately lost the finals. In the following third season, they met the Chicago Bulls led by the comeback Michael Jordan.  After being eliminated in the Eastern Conference Finals, Shaquille O'Neal was lured out of Orlando by the Los Angeles Lakers. The two core players established by the Orlando Magic, Grant Hill and Tracy McGrady, were both trapped by injuries until they  After getting the No. 1 pick again and selecting Dwight Howard, he once again ushered in his own renaissance.

    It has to be said that the Orlando Magic, which has been in the league for less than 20 years, is a very lucky team.
