The big screen clearly showed 124:116, with the Orlando Magic playing at home in front. This score meant that the Magic had a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals series against the Bulls.

Once the Magic win one of the next two away games, the Magic's chances of advancement will increase infinitely.

The most eye-catching aspects of this game are undoubtedly three aspects: the Chicago Bulls' shameless tactic of cutting Ho, and Dwight Howard's angry second-level flagrant foul. What is even more attractive is undoubtedly Darko Milicic, who carries the title of parallel import.

In the fourth quarter, he played a game that shocked countless people.

"Darko was the best tonight. I'm extremely proud to have a teammate like Darko. There's no doubt he's a great guy. Detroit ruined him but he's strong and he'll prove he's worthy in Orlando."

That choice." The team won the game and Dwight Howard was in a much better mood.

"Dwight, can you tell me about your foul?"

"Why are we talking about that? That's over, and I don't think there's anything to say. I think everyone's eyes should see their actions. I'll leave it to everyone to judge. Man, let's talk about Darko.

, don’t you think that me, Wood, and Darko will become a super trio? I am confident that we can win the highest honor one day in the future, maybe that day is not too far away.”

"Darko, I love you!" Seeing Milicic walking into the locker room, Howard directly abandoned the reporter and rushed forward with a bear hug.

"I love Darko, he is our hero." Howard raised Milicic's hand, and Milicic was a little embarrassed by Howard.

The fourth quarter lasted for 12 minutes, and he scored 14 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 blocks, and 2 steals in a single quarter. His super versatile data became the biggest contributor to the Orlando Magic's counterattack against the Chicago Bulls. The whole game even reached

20 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 blocks and 3 steals were incredible dominating statistics.

How could such a Milicic not attract attention? Not to mention that Milicic has always been known as a parallel importer. You must know that in 2003, there was only one LeBron James in front of him, and behind him was Carmel.

Ron Anthony, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Kirk Hinrich, Chris Kaman, David West, Josh Howard and many other core and secondary players of the team

Three top players.

The players drafted in 2003 only took four years to achieve many All-Star performances and were hailed as the 2003 Super Platinum Generation. However, Milicic ranked second on the list and became the Pistons' "victory cigar" in the eyes of the media.

”.

Although Milicic has undergone some changes after coming to the Magic last season, compared with the expectations he had and the players selected behind him, he still did not receive much recognition until he came off the bench for the Magic this season.

The fairly good data has gained some recognition, but even so, it is still far from the point where he was expected to reach.

The fourth quarter of this game undoubtedly became the biggest counterattack, and naturally became the focus of the fans and the media.

Just when many reporters were expecting Stan Van Gundy and Milicic to attend the post-game press conference, Stan Van Gundy and Lin Sen appeared in the conference room.

"Oh, it seems that my appearance made everyone unhappy. Maybe I should leave and replace someone who should come." Lin Sen said without sitting down and looking at the reporters in the audience.

Lin Sen shrugged: "But it's a pity, what if I won't leave, so you can interview me for a while, and I will tell you everything."

"Wood, this is USA Today reporter Pete, can you talk about tonight's game? Darko Milicic burst out with incredible energy."

"I don't think there's anyone who doesn't love Darko. I know that he can just have some bad energy to hide his greatness. Our whole team knows that he can get to that point, just like he did tonight.

This was not an accidental outburst but his strength was there."

"Wood, are you saying that Darko deserves to play tonight's game? Then why didn't he play like this in Orlando before? Is it because Dwight's presence suppressed Darko?"

Everyone in the audience looked at the man who stood up. Those who were familiar with him immediately recognized this man as Louis Anderson, a reporter from the Chicago Tribune.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

"I'm Louis Anderson, a reporter from the Chicago Tribune. Wood Lin, please don't dodge my questions." Louis Anderson muttered.

"No, no, everyone knows that I won't deliberately avoid anyone." Lin Sen said with a smile, "Unless the person really makes me hate it."

Louis Anderson immediately became angry when he heard Lin Sen's words.

"Mr. Louis Anderson, please don't mind. I'm not talking about you, I'm just talking about some people. I didn't avoid your question. I just wanted to find out what your name is. This is to respect you, right? Now I will formally answer your question.

." Lin Sen glanced at Stan Van Gundy to reassure Van Gundy.

"I think everyone knew about Darko's ability four years ago. Of course, he only showed his great potential at that time, but everyone knew what he was doing in Detroit. No one can easily change from that kind of ability.

Coming out of the environment, even as a great player as Jermaine, he experienced similar situations in Portland.

When Darko came to Orlando, as you can see, he is regaining his confidence, but it takes time, and tonight is just a game in his recovery. I believe he can play better games than this in the future.

.

As for you saying that Dwight influenced Darko, I don’t think that the Orlando Magic is a team and everyone is serving this team. Me, Dwight, Chris, Grant and Darko are all like this, so he

As a substitute in the team, there is no one who suppresses who, and I don’t mind being a substitute if possible."

Although Lin Sen's words were not very good, they already reassured Stan Van Gundy.

"Coach Stan, this is ESPN reporter Mark Burns. This is the fourth year of Darko's rookie contract. The team did not choose to renew his contract in advance, which means Orlando will face competition from other teams. Do you have any questions?

Confidence in keeping Darko, where do you think he will be?"

"Yes, we need to compete with other teams, but we are confident that we can reach an agreement with Darko. The Orlando Magic is a young but promising team. I believe Darko will make the best choice. Of course we

More confident in keeping Darko, man, I think you should know that we have 20 million in cap space this summer.

I can't give you an accurate answer to where Darko will reach in the future, because Darko is still recovering from those things. I believe in his potential. As for where he will go, I will wait and see like you."

"Twenty million dollars? Stan, are you saying Orlando will use that money to match any team's offer? Even the max?"

"Yes, there is no doubt about it." Stan Van Gundy's words shocked the entire audience. Although everyone knew that Van Gundy's words were less than 10% credible, they somewhat expressed the Magic's eagerness to keep Milicic.

Milicic was also surrounded by a large group of reporters in the home team's locker room. There is no doubt that he was also smelled about why he was able to perform like this tonight and how to choose during the offseason.

"At the moment I just want to play well. I hope I can continue to perform like this. Someone has to step up for Dwight's temporary departure. Wood and Stan have always told me that I can do it. I also told myself in my heart that I can do it. Facts have proved that I can do it."

I did pretty well in the game, but I know this is not something I should be proud of. This is just a game, a past game. There will be a new beginning and I need to work harder.

As for whether we can stay, we should wait until the playoffs are over to discuss this issue. Of course, I am full of confidence in staying in Orlando. It is like my home. I feel the warmth I have never felt before and have a good relationship.

Boss has great coaches and great teammates, and I’m very happy here.”

At this time, Milicic's agent, Mark Connstein, suddenly became busy, even though the league has regulations that other teams are not allowed to privately contact players under contract, let alone it is still during the playoffs.

But the regulations still can't stop the enthusiasm of the uniform staff. If this season's Darko Milicic has shown them hope worth cultivating and worth giving them a mid-level contract or even a full mid-level contract, tonight's

This game allowed them to see the possibility of taking a crazy gamble with a 7 million contract.

"Now that Darko is still in the competition stage, we can't give you a specific answer. I think the best way is to wait for the offseason to come, but many teams have expressed the same thoughts as you." Mark Connstein said with a smile.

, he felt so happy for the first time since signing Milicic.

He still remembers the excitement when he successfully defeated many big-name agents to sign Milicic, but as time went by, his excitement had long disappeared and even became despairing.

It wasn't until this season that he saw a glimmer of hope. Although it was almost as good as before, he was already excited, and tonight's game felt like God had favored him.

"Okay, I'll treat you to dinner when I have time." Daryl Morey on the other end of the phone hung up.

As Mark Connstein said, many teams called him tonight hoping to communicate with Milicic in advance to get a psychological estimate. Boston Celtics general manager Danny Ainge even promised to provide
