Returning to Orlando next month, Evan Fournier hopes to achieve something with the Magic there. The Frenchman thinks he knows what will make the difference in the recovery.
While the NBA will sign its comeback on July 30, the franchises are preparing to go to the side of the “bubble” in Orlando. For now, only the Raptors are already in Florida and Nick Nurse’s men have already started training.
Others, like the Lakers, reportedly continued group activities according to accusations by JJ Redick. It’s a kind of race that is launched between the 22 teams present in Orlando.
Because all aim for the title, and no question of falling behind in the preparation. That, Evan Fournier seems to have understood. In an interview with The Athletic, the Frenchman spoke on the key to success for this return to the courts. He at least knows what he has to do with his teammates.

What’s going to help us the most is to be in better shape than the guys we’re going to have to face. This is going to be the key. How quickly can you get back in shape? How quickly can you come together as a team?
This is what will make the difference.
It is not for nothing that the Lakers would have continued training. The goal is to get ahead of the rest and be prepared for Orlando. Franchises that will be able to pick up the pace from the first game in Florida will have a big advantage over the others.
For Fournier, this is important. The Magic are eighth in the East, 5.5 games ahead of the Wizards. If the Frenchman and his teammates want to avoid an extra round against Washington before the playoffs, they will have to keep them for more than 4 games. In short: no time to hang around.
Evan Fournier knows what he has to do to wear the Magic. Small details will be important in Orlando.
