The Bucks' joy of winning their season opener didn't last long.
Entering November, the Bucks faced their first home game, with the menacing Orlando Magic as their opponents.
Yu Fei had special feelings for the Magic, as they were the very team he had battled for a starting position with while at the Wizards.
He still remembered how Grant Hill, the Magic's second in command, got injured in that game, sidelining him for the rest of the season, forcing McGrady to shoulder the team alone. Consequently, the Magic, who were considered the Eastern Conference's most talented team the previous year, ended up just like the Wizards, making only a brief appearance in the first round.
Now, Fei was no longer playing in D.C., and the Magic had gone from the peak of their prestige to a rapid decline.
The irreversible injuries caused by Hill's chronic back issues had begun to affect McGrady.
However, the Magic's demise was not tonight.
