As a time period for players and teams to adjust their rest in the middle of the league, the All-Star Carnival officially ends with the end of the All-Star Game. The next two months will be the last chance for all thirty teams in the league to attack the playoffs.

The regular season will be completely over around April 16. By then, 16 teams will stay and continue to compete, while the remaining 14 teams will try their best to save a season and try their luck for the No. 1 pick.

The second half of the league kicked off the second day after the All-Star Game, but Wu Dawei's Cleveland Cavaliers got an extra day off. They welcomed their first opponent in the second half of the season on the third day after the All-Star Game.

The Orlando Magic led by Super Center Dwight Howard, whom Wu met during the All-Star Game.

Like the Miami Heat, this is also a team from Florida. Moreover, the Clevelanders and the Orlando people had a deep hatred before this. In the 2009 Eastern Conference Finals, it was the Magic led by Dwight Howard that prevented the Cleveland Cavaliers who had been invincible that year. Otherwise, the final championship would be the Cleveland people who felt that their team would definitely be sure to win.

However, such hatred has gradually dissipated over time. What people remember more now is LeBron James' cowardly performance of fleeing Cleveland last summer.

Let’s look back at the Orlando Magic, a team that has a tradition of giving birth to super centers. It is called Shaquille O’Neal, the largest center with the most dominant performance. It was from this team.

Now Dwight Howard, who is in the Orlando Magic team, is the premier big center in the league when Yao Ming retires from injury and O'Neal is old.

Interestingly, these two super centers destined to be known for their history have had such similar experiences with the Magic.

Shaquille O'Neal led the Orlando Magic into the NBA finals in the 1994-1995 season, but unfortunately he lost to Houston. Then the next year, in the 1995-1996 season, Shaquille O'Neal, who led the team to the finals last year, took a step back in the year. They finally stopped in the East Finals of the 1995-1996 season.

Now, the current ceiling for the Magic team led by Dwight Howard is just a final. They reached the finals in the 2008-2009 season and eventually lost to the Los Angeles Lakers. Then, the next year, last year, last year. The Magic team led by Dwight Howard also took a step back and finally stopped in the Eastern Conference finals!

The almost identical historical process made Orlando fans feel a chill of sweat!

Because in the 1996-1997 season, Shaquille O'Neal directly transferred to the Los Angeles Lakers. At that time, it happened to be a season after the Orlando Magic stopped in the Eastern Conference Finals, and this season was the first year after the Magic led by Howard failed last year!

Such a similar process inevitably makes Orlando fans worried that Dwight Howard would swim out of Orlando's stadium like Shaquille O'Neal and rush into the arms of others.

You know, it is Dwight Howard, a center who can average 20+10 per game, and is the league's first team and one defense and best defense award in the past nth sessions. This has allowed the Magic to always stand among the strong teams in the Eastern Conference.

The result of losing Dwight Howard was an unacceptable result for Orlando fans, just as they could not bear the situation after O'Neal left the team at the time.

Especially last summer, LeBron James left his hometown team Cavaliers, who had played for seven years. After he was thrown into Miami's arms, Orlando fans became even more frightened.

I was afraid that this move would touch or stir up Dwight. Howard's nerve would make him go with the flow and go for the championship. Although it is not impossible to win the championship in Orlando, it is just that judging by the current operation of the team and the fact that there are too many bad contracts in the team, it will take some time for the Magic to conflict in a short period of time and become the most powerful competitor of the championship from an Eastern Conference team.

No one is sure whether Dwight Howard will have such patience to wait. After all, in the current league where even LeBron James has left Cleveland, no one knows whether loyalty still has the meaning of existence.

"Then do you want to leave?"

This problem has been plaguing Orlando fans this season, and Wu Dawei is of course a little curious. So when Dwight Howard rushed to Cleveland with the team, Wu Dawei invited Dwight Howard to have lunch.

Although the two met for a while, Wu Dawei was already very familiar with Dwight Howard. Of course, all this is due to Dwight Howard's perverse personality, and the characteristics of the two who shared the same hatred of the enemy - Dwight Howard hated LeBron James, and what's important is that he thought Wu Dawei also hated James very much...

Wu Dawei didn't care at all about this. Since Howard thinks he hates James, he should hate it. Anyway, he and James have never had any friendship. Moreover, because of this deal, Wu Dawei seems to be strangers to Dwayne Wade, who has been a teammate for a year...

Of course, Wu Dawei invited Howard to have Chinese food, and it was among the few local Chinese restaurants in Cleveland. Wu Dawei thought it was more authentic. When Howard was eating Chinese food, he was similar to most foreigners and was quite entangled with chopsticks, but fortunately he learned to use a spoon to cooperate. This prevented the situation from being too bad.

"I don't know either."

Howard thought about it and finally gave an undeniable answer. However, the glimmer in his expression was still caught by Wu Dawei. According to Dwight Howard's personality, if he didn't want to leave Orlando, he would definitely smile at such a question heartily, instead of a slight depression on his face like this at this time.

"Hey, Dwight, why not come to Cleveland! We will definitely kill everyone together!"

Wu Dawei suddenly boldly proposed that it was his sudden idea that was blessed with his heart. After experiencing the All-Star Game, there was a group of powerful teammates beside him, which made Wu Dawei, who was very tired from playing because of the Cavaliers' lineup some time ago, understood that basketball is a sport of five people after all. No matter how powerful a person's ability is, it is still a moment of exhaustion. At this time, if there is a trustworthy companion, it is undoubtedly a great thing!

And the reason why I expect Chauncey Billups so much is because I feel that I can't support myself in the Cleveland Cavaliers?

But at the same time, Wu Dawei's sudden remarks also surprised Dwight Howard after a sudden smell, and then Howard laughed at the dining table regardless of his demeanor.

"Haha, Wu, you're so funny..."

"What's wrong?"

Wu Dawei frowned and asked depressedly, thinking in his heart what kind of bird man is this. If he doesn't want to come, just say it directly, and even say it is all the way around the bush and others are teasing. You are a big funny guy. Do you know, Dwight!

Wu Dawei complained, and then Howard said, "Are you studying Kobe Bryant? I thought you had made up your mind to go to Los Angeles this summer."

"What and what..."

Wu Dawei shook his head and said, "I just want to win the championship!"

"Champion? In Cleveland?"

Howard showed a little contemptuous expression and laughed: "James has been fighting in this city for seven years. The owner of the Cavaliers Gilbert also spent countless money on him, but in the end they got nothing!"

"I'm not LeBron James!"

Wu Dawei has his own persistence in this. Although it is a bit pretentious to say this, Wu Dawei does not want to be called the next so-and-so by people. His mother gave birth to him not to let his son imitate others.

"are you serious?"

Seeing Wu Dawei's serious expression, Dwight Howard couldn't help frowning and stared at Wu Dawei as if he wanted to see through his inner thoughts.

"certainly!"

Wu Dawei was very sure of every word.

Seeing this, Dwight Howard began to ponder. For Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard had heard too many legends about this new Chinese player this season. He did not believe it very much at first, because after all, Dwight Howard himself is also an extremely outstanding defensive player. However, after experiencing this year's Los Angeles All-Star Game, Dwight Howard witnessed Wu Dawei's performance in the second half of the All-Star Game with his own eyes, he understood and believed why Wu Dawei was able to rise so strongly this season.

With strong self-confidence, extremely decisive defensive predictions, active running and wandering, his attitude towards the game is destined to be a member of success.

Dwight Howard has been with the Orlando Magic for so many years. Didn’t he just expect to have such a strong teammate? He can help him solve his problems, especially on the defensive end. You should know that defense is a thankless job. You should know that active defense sometimes comes for you, maybe it’s a time to be detained by Yan or shaken down. At that time, no one will remember how active you defend, and people will only remember how embarrassed you were when you were detained by Yan and shaken down!

Although the Orlando Magic's defensive efficiency ranks among the top ten in the league, Dwight Howard is always unsatisfied with his outside teammates missing eight of his defensive abilities. This certainly allows Dwight Howard to get more blocks, but it also increases the risk of being slapped and knocked down by the face.

This is not to say that Dwight Howard is unwilling to take on the responsibilities a team leader should have, but that this is the case every night and has been going on for 7 years, which makes Howard feel a little physically and mentally exhausted.

Dwight Howard stared at Wu Dawei, confirming that this Chinese man who had known him for less than a few days but had a very speculative life was not joking with him.

If Wu Dawei is really serious, then this is undoubtedly a very attractive proposal for Dwight Howard. If an outside defense gate is partnered with him, then the team's defense will undoubtedly become the first in the league. Wu Dawei has never been a person who is greedy for ball rights on the offensive end, and this is also the type of player Howard likes.

Dwight Howard nodded, staring at Wu Dawei and laughing, because for a moment he thought this was a feasible solution. But the only thing left was why he was asked to come to Cleveland instead of Wu Dawei going to Orlando?

After all, even from the current perspective, the Orlando Magic's strength is far higher than the Cleveland Cavaliers.

"Wu, why not come to Orlando. I believe that your joining will definitely make the Magic the most popular championship contender!"

Howard's statement made Wu Dawei a little excited, but what he said later made Wu Dawei feel disappointed. He was here to be a lobbyist, but he couldn't be instigated by others in the end...

Going to a new team means that all the connections he has established in Cleveland have been wasted all at once. This is not what Wu Dawei wants. He hopes that Dwight Howard will come to Cleveland and join his team.

Although Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard have a common goal at this time, that is, the championship. Who would like to give up the position of the boss of the team and be the second-place in other people's teams? At least Wu Dawei doesn't like it now, because he feels like he is the boss, so he naturally won't give up so easily.

After all, people are selfish, so if Dwight Howard can be convinced to come to Cleveland, it is definitely the best way.

"If you come to Cleveland, I believe the Cavaliers will definitely become the biggest favorite to win the championship again!"

"Hey, man, don't forget, the Magic are now ranked third in the East!" Howard reminded.

"The final victory is victory, isn't it?" Although Wu Dawei's proposal to join forces made Dwight Howard very moved, so far, Wu Dawei has not had enough reason to let Howard give up his position as the Magic and join another small-scale team, Cleveland.

So, he could only say this: "The Rockets, the sixth-ranked West, have won the championship, right?"

"Do you think the Cavaliers are the Rockets now?"

"No one can say good about the future, but I believe that the upper limit of my team is not just the current situation!" Wu Dawei wanted to reveal to Howard that some of the Cavaliers and Billups' joining will be reached soon to attract Howard.

But in the end, Wu Dawei did not explain to Howard that, after all, if you reveal this way, with Howard's big mouth attribute, it will most likely cause trouble to the team; secondly, Howard may not even bother a veteran like Billups.

"The Cavaliers will surprise everyone! My team will eventually become a team that will never go bad in the second half of the season, just like I'm going to beat you up tonight!"

"Ha!? Are you challenging me?"

"This is not a challenge! My team is just going to step on the body of the Orlando Magic!"

"Wu, I'm going to beat you, the arrogant guy!"

"Is that? Then I will definitely give you six big hats and cut your ball 9 times, so that others can say you are a buttery guy and a quilt-blocking king!"

"I'm talking about me that I'm going to beat you to death now!"

"Ah~~~~可!"
