Magic's double trouble (我只有翻大意，若翻的不好，敬請見諒) The Orlando Magic changed their roster, changed their look and, perhaps, changed their future fortunes Wednesday. And there's still seven shopping days left until the NBA trading deadline. One thing the Magic couldn't change, however, was another outcome against the Miami Heat. The Heat beat the Magic 110-100 Wednesday night at TD Waterhouse Centre, their second victory against Orlando in as many nights. The Magic (19-32) lost their sixth consecutive game and 10th in their past 11, falling further behind in the Eastern Conference playoff chase. The Magic have not given up the hunt, but they had their eyes on the future before the game with their decision to trade veteran center Kelvin Cato and a conditional first-round pick to the Detroit Pistons. In return, the Magic received power forward Darko Milicic, 20, and point guard Carlos Arroyo, 26. Milicic, 7 feet and 250 pounds, was chosen by the Pistons as the No. 2 pick in the 2003 draft, but he has been considered a bust. He is expected to be given a chance to play alongside Dwight Howard, 20. The deal, rumored for the past month, was completed after the Magic and Pistons agreed to how the pick would be protected in the upcoming drafts. The Magic had to clear a roster spot and waived forward Terence Morris, a training-camp signee. The Heat (33-20) obviously are headed in a different direction, and that would be upwardly. In Tuesday night's 107-93 victory against Orlando in Miami, Shaquille O'Neal dominated the Magic early and Dwyane Wade overpowered them late. This time, they needed both Eastern Conference all-stars to survive a furious Magic comeback from a 29-point deficit. The Heat led 89-60 with 10 minutes, 7 seconds left until the start of their all-star break. Orlando whittled the lead to six points with about two minutes to play, bringing the sellout crowd to its feet with a 28-9 run. O'Neal had to be summoned back into the game after basically taking the night off, having scored seven points on eight shots. Their angst was short-lived. Veteran Gary Payton drilled two 3-pointers within a 50-second span to allow the Heat to escape with their third consecutive victory. Oh, the Magic could trade for a perimeter defender while they're at it. Wade had 36 points to go with the 38 he scored against the Magic on Tuesday night. Wade just missed a triple-double, tallying 10 rebounds and nine assists. He also made 16 of 19 free throws, and two of his nine assists ended up in Payton's hands for the clutch 3s. Orlando finally smothered Shaq with double teams, gambling Miami might not connect from the outside. --- 魔術的雙重麻煩 (怎麼不是雙重火力…) 星期三，魔術隊改變了他們球隊的陣容，改變他們的面貌，可能…改變他們未來命運。 離NBA交易截止日，目前還有七天的時間。(記者是暗示還有什麼可以賣就快點賣嗎?) 然而，有件事情無法改變，就是跟熱火比賽的結果，又挫塞了… 星期三的夜晚，熱火在TD Waterhouse以110比100拆穿魔術… 魔術(19勝32敗)輕輕鬆鬆的六連敗，同時也輸了近11場比賽中的10場，使得我們在追逐季 後賽愈追愈遠，反而離樂透選秀愈來愈近… 魔術還沒放棄追逐季後賽的希望，不過他們已經開始在為未來著想，在與熱火比賽之前， 魔術將cato及一個受到保護的第一輪選秀送到活塞，換取20歲milicic及26歲arryo。 Milicic有七呎的身高及250砣的好身材，在2003年的選秀會上，第一輪第二順位被活塞選 中，不過這項選擇，看來是失敗的，他被期待有可能能表現的像另一20歲的隊友Dwight Howard。 這個交易已經有傳一個月，最後的完成在於魔術及活塞討論未來的選秀權該保護到那個順 位(註：保護2007年的前五順位) 然後，為了讓球員名單保持在15名，魔術同時把Morris給釋出了，Morris是今年從訓練營 簽下的球員。 後面就是提本場比賽了，嗯，就…又輸了就對了…翻的有點…鳥，哈~~ --
