In the end, Clay scored five points in overtime, and Davis, who believed in him the most, gave him two assists.
Even relying on Clay's performance in overtime, the Magic finally ensured the victory of the game.
In addition to the 7 points scored in the previous game, Clay scored 12 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists in this game again.
As an unknown rookie, Clay played the role of Mr. Key in two consecutive games, which made his popularity soar.
After these two games, Davis was also disappointed in Anderson.
After he returned to Orlando, he held a meeting with the coaching staff. In the end, the coaching staff unanimously agreed that Anderson, a meritorious veteran who had played for the Magic since entering the league, was demoted to a substitute.
This league is so cruel. It follows the pure law of the jungle. Survival of the fittest. Unless you are a privileged player like Davis, after a few games, you may change from a core player to an ordinary starter, and from an ordinary starter to a substitute.
Anderson is a clear example. From being trained by the team as the core when he entered the league, he gradually became an ordinary main force, then an ordinary starter, and finally became a substitute.
After going back to rest for a day, the Magic team went up and down, recovered a little bit, and ushered in the next game.
They played against Philadelphia at home on February 2.
DeWeese said it was the least suspenseful matchup.
Since DeWeese entered the league, the Magic have not lost against the Philadelphia team.
And the game that Clay officially started was also the third game of his career, and he played a very crazy "Buddha" game.
As soon as the game started, Klay felt hot to the touch.
As long as he gets the ball, regardless of whether there is a defender in front of him, he pulls up and shoots, and he doesn't even bother to dribble.
In this way, in the first quarter, he scored 7 of 6 and 6 of 5 three-pointers. Only one ball stepped on the line and counted as two points. There were no free throws and no breakthroughs. He scored 17 points in a single quarter.
Such an amazing performance made D'Antoni decisively put him on the court again in the second quarter.
In the second quarter, Clay's performance was even crazier.
He scored 12 goals in 9 shots in a single quarter, made 7 of 5 three-pointers, and still had no free throws or breakthroughs. He scored 23 points in a single quarter and scored a full 24 points in 40 minutes in half the game.
In the third quarter, he didn't appear on the court again.
Because the Magic have led the Philadelphia team by nearly 40 points. . .
Davis also scored 23 points and 17 assists in two quarters.
Why so many assists?
You ask Clay. . .
The entire second half turned into garbage time, and the Buddha University trio won the entire half of the game.
Facts have proved that the Philadelphia team's broken lineup, the Magic sent their own third-line lineup, and they also played a [-]-[-] split with them.
费城队全场93次出手进了34球。。。三分球13中2,一共只拿到了83分。
And the Magic couldn't stop at all. . .
Clay scored 40 points, Davis scored 23 points, and O'Neal scored 25 points.
Of course, because Shaq was dissatisfied with not scoring 20 points, he played for a while in the second half under his strong request.
In the end, the Magic scored 129 points in the entire game, slaughtered Philadelphia by 46 points, and extended their winning streak against Philadelphia to 14 games.
After this game, the Magic's record came to 42 wins and 8 losses, exactly the same as the Bulls' record. The Bulls lost this game away to the Houston Rockets led by Olajuwon.
The Magic also took the No. [-] spot in the league because of the Bulls' loss.
The magic team's winning streak is still maintained. Two days later, with only one day off, the magic team went to Minnesota, a world of ice and snow, to challenge the Huskies away.
Leder has not won the slam dunk champion for two years, and the other core of the Timberwolves, NCAA No.
In the past three years, he has not averaged more than 20 points per game with sufficient shooting rights.
On the contrary, Ryder, who is a year later than him, has stepped into the 20-point mark this year.
However, despite having the right time, place and people and three major factors, the Timberwolves still cannot withstand the powerful offensive of the Magic's current lineup.
If you look at it from the perspective of future generations, the Magic's lineup may only be comparable to a few super teams.
O'Neill, Rodman, Sprewell, Clay, and DeWeese all scored over 94, with O'Neill 97 and DeWeese as high as [-].
In terms of lineup alone, there is only F4, bah bah bah, it's very unlucky, only the Lakers Dynasty, Bulls Dynasty, Heat Big Three, Cavaliers in the 2.0 era, and Warriors who have won two consecutive championships can be compared.
Hey, so there are quite a few teams. . .
All the teams mentioned above were the biggest favorites at the time.
Only in this era, this time and space, the Magic are not considered the biggest favorites to win the championship.
Because, the name of this era is called Jordan.
In this game, O'Neal, who finally recovered, scored a large double-double of 36 points and 15 rebounds. Davis scored 21 points and 11 assists in three quarters.
The team's rising star Clay, played 31 minutes, scored 18 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, continuing his amazing rookie journey.
It is worth mentioning that Sprewell has performed well in recent games, especially on the defensive end. He seems to have broken through the bottleneck. In the last ten games, he has scored 17 steals and 15 blocks.
In other words, he has recently averaged 1.7 steals and 1.5 blocks per game. ,
This is already a very astonishing statistic.
Since Klay joined the team, the Magic seem to have found the last piece of the puzzle, and they have performed better game by game.
After the road victory over the Timberwolves, they played a back-to-back away game and went to Milwaukee to overthrow the Bucks.
The performance of the Magic in this game was even more outrageous.
They played a head-to-head game against the Bucks without overtime.
Then the Bucks were beaten up and down. . .
In 48 minutes of regular time, the two teams combined contributed 256 points,
It doesn't seem like an exaggeration, but what if the Bucks scored 104 points in total?
That's right, the Magic scored a crazy 48 points in 152 minutes.
Among them, he scored 41 points in the second quarter, 49 points in the third quarter, and scored a full 90 points in two quarters.
O'Neal scored 30 points, Davis scored 25 points, Clay scored 16 points, Sprewell scored 15 points, and Anderson, who came off the bench, also scored 15 points. Eight Magic scored in double figures.
The cornerstone of the Bucks team, Glenn Johnson with a big contract, scored 22 points. The alcoholic Wen Baker was even worse. Under the care of Rodman and Mason, the audience only scored 13 points.
