Chapter 162(1/2)
Author: Can play the harmonica
At this time, half of the fourth quarter's game time has passed.
The score between the two sides is still deadlocked.
Rocket attack!
After Alston dribbled the ball past half court, he handed it directly to McGrady!
At the critical moment, the ball still has to be handled by the core people.
After McGrady got the ball, facing Luke Walton's defense, he was still a classic triple threat!
For Luke Walton, guarding Tracy McGrady will always be an extremely difficult task.
Although the Lakers defended McGrady's shot just now, in fact, it has little to do with him.
It was entirely Lu Yusheng's own prediction that prevented the ball.
For Luke Walton, if he wants to defend McGrady, he still has only one way, and that is anticipatory defense.
Although he had misjudged the shot just now, McGrady did not shoot, but went to the basket.
But he could only do this. There was no other way. When McGrady faced him, his shooting percentage was too high.
If he is allowed to break through, his teammates may be able to help defend, and there may be a chance to defend.
Once he is allowed to shoot, it is basically a final decision and there is no room for negotiation.
Therefore, Luke Walton's current defensive strategy is that you can attack me, but I will try my best to interfere with you when you shoot, and I will never let you score easily.
McGrady faced Walton and started dribbling.
McGrady's intention just now was to break into the paint and drive the inside score.
But I didn't expect that the finishing touch would be ruined by that kid Lu Yusheng.
This time, he planned to score directly by shooting. After all, this is his best way of scoring.
But what he didn't expect was that this time, he didn't get rid of Walton's defense quickly and got too good a shooting space.
The reason is not that Walton's defense has gotten better, it's simply that when Walton was defending before, he would worry about McGrady's breakthrough, so it was difficult to limit McGrady's pull-up shots.
But now his defensive strategy is to only target McGrady's shots and not take into account your breakthrough.
Anyone who plays golf knows that when you lose the threat of a breakthrough, your opponent will have a hard time guarding you.
Even though McGrady's pull-up shot is invincible, it's still difficult to make a shot in this situation!
McGrady was a little annoyed and failed to find a shooting opportunity. After making a fake shot, Walton was instantly knocked away!
McGrady dribbles the ball inside and breaks through!
Instantly attract the defense of Lakers inside players!
It was the same opportunity just now, Yao Ming was unguarded!
McGrady glanced subconsciously, looking for Lu Yusheng's location, but in an instant, he didn't find Lu Yusheng's location!
This made him afraid to pass the ball to Yao Ming again, for fear that this kid would repeat his same tricks!
So he decided to pull up the stick directly against Bynum and lay up!
McGrady takes off, rising higher and higher!
Bynum also leaped high to block McGrady!
But McGrady folded in the air, pulled the lever down, and instantly avoided Bynum's block!
Underhand layup!
"Wow! This layup is too difficult!" Mason exclaimed in surprise!
Snapped!!
As soon as McGrady took the shot, he slammed the basketball onto the backboard with one hand!
Lu Yusheng!!
Lu Yusheng originally planned to steal the ball like he did just now, but unexpectedly, McGrady did not choose to pass the ball to Yao Ming, but made a difficult layup himself!
Lu Yusheng happened to be under the basket and without any hesitation, he gave McGrady a nail-biting shot!
The ball hit the backboard directly and bounced into Odom's hands!
Odom passed the ball instantly and wanted to start a fast break!
But McGrady pulled him down when he landed!
The referee whistle blows! Foul!
It would have been difficult for Lu Yusheng's level to hit Tracy McGrady, but McGrady had just used a pull-up layup to avoid Bynum's block. When he passed Bynum in the air, he had already
He used all his strength, so the underhand layup from behind was actually very easy to cover.
"Oh my God!" Mason exclaimed, "I can't imagine that Lu actually blocked McGrady's wonderful pull-up layup. This is simply unbelievable!"
"Tracy McGrady's shot is really beautiful," Barkley also said. "This is a pull-up layup after a confrontation. You can count the number of people in the league who can do this on one hand. It's a pity."
"Yeah, what's rare is that his movements are so graceful. It's really rare."
"There's something about this kid Lu. He predicted McGrady's next move both times. The first time he intercepted McGrady's pass, and the second time he directly sent a big block on the nail board. I guess McGrady is also a little angry now!"
A big name like him can’t keep up his reputation,” Barkley said with a smile.
In fact, McGrady was really angry on the court. His two consecutive attacks were easily resolved by a rookie. He couldn't save face. This is one. Second, after losing Kobe, the Lakers now led the score.
Okay, given the current situation, it may be difficult to secure a win. Can you not be anxious?
"Hey, Yao!"
McGrady complained to Yao Ming, "What's wrong with you? Why didn't you get the ball in position?"
What McGrady meant was that since he had already made a layup, Yao Ming should block him under the basket and block all interference for him.
Yao Ming was also confused.
He felt that McGrady must have passed this ball to him. After all, he was completely empty under the basket.
Even if the last ball was intercepted due to a mistake, he was already fully focused on this ball and it was impossible for him to be intercepted twice in a row.
But not only did McGrady not choose to pass the ball to him, but now after being blocked, he actually started to complain about himself?
"TMC, I thought you would pass the ball to me, and I was ready."
Yao Ming did not directly confront Tracy McGrady, but used a euphemistic way of saying it.
After all, he doesn't want to fall out with his teammates because of a mistake, especially McGrady. He is still counting on teaming up with McGrady to achieve better results this year. Now that the season has just begun, they are at odds. What will happen in the future?
Of course, Yao Ming's response was not a blind compromise. While explaining the reason, it also made McGrady understand that this situation was caused by your failure to pass the ball.
Of course Tracy McGrady understands the meaning behind Yao Ming's words, and naturally it is not easy for him to openly contradict Yao Ming directly.
What's more, Yao Ming is right. He didn't pass the ball to Yao Ming just now, which is really unjustifiable.
"I don't think there is any need for everyone to argue over this trivial matter." Alston said on the side, "Cheer up, we have to win this game!"
If he hadn't said this, McGrady wouldn't have been that angry. But now when this kid suddenly said this, McGrady was furious!
"You kid, do you have the qualifications to say such a thing?! If your defense is like shit, if you don't keep an eye on that kid, he can run around? You are saying such things here like you are nothing!" McGrady said to
Just squirt while wearing Alston!
"Hey, TMC, it was your mistake just now. You can't put all the blame on others. You have no responsibility at all!"
Alston is not a fuel-efficient person either. Even if Tracy McGrady is the team's top player, he can't bear this guy's unscrupulous spitting on him, so he immediately returns the favor!
"What did you say?!"
McGrady didn't expect that Alston would dare to talk back. In McGrady's opinion, the reason why the rookie Lu Yusheng on the opposite side could perform so well and lead the Lakers to overtake the score was all because of Alston.
This guy is really good!
Now that I just pointed out this guy's problem and he actually exploded, where does his position as the boss of the team fit in?!
With McGrady's fiery temper, no matter what the occasion, he would take action at that moment!
Alston didn't tolerate him at all, "TMC, just tell me, how many times have you sprayed me for no reason since I came to the team? It's okay if I don't have a common understanding with you, you're not done yet?! I
Let me tell you, the leader of this team is Yao Ming. When the team is at a disadvantage, he stands up time and time again to help the team turn the tide! He is not like you. Every time the team falls behind, you will only lose your temper.
, you are not worthy of being the leader of this team!"
This can directly hit McGrady’s sore spot!
You know, the reason why McGrady left the Raptors before was because in Hazy, the boss will always be his cousin Vince Carter. He just left Toronto to prove himself, but after going to the Magic, he was always prepared
People criticize leaders for their lack of ability.
This is his inner demon!
Now when I come to the Rockets, I am still being criticized for this, and it is no one else but my teammates who are fighting alongside me!
The words coming out of his mouth are much more lethal than the words coming out of the mouths of fans and media!!
