Chapter 182 Maddie Goes Crazy
Who is Maddie?
In McGrady's first few years, he was comparable to Kobe Bryant or even surpassed Kobe Bryant.

McGrady still doesn't take Peja Stockovic's defense to heart.

Seeing that he was blocked again, McGrady glanced, and the basketball hung to Ron Artest on the right side of the free throw line.

Then, taking advantage of Peja Stockovic's turning back to look at the ball, he suddenly turned around Peja Stockovic's body and quickly wiped into the inside line.

When it was completely thrown to Peja Stockovich, Artest's basketball was just passed around.

As soon as McGrady took two strides after catching the basketball, his body turned into an anti-bow. Hilton, who was under the basket, just thought of jumping to block the shot, and felt a huge force coming...

Hilton suddenly lost his balance and staggered back. At the same time, he heard a loud "bang" and looked up - Tracy McGrady was hanging on the basket like a god descending from the earth.

After the Rockets fans saw McGrady's long-lost Tomahawk-style snap button, there was a lot of exclamation at the scene...

Even some neutral fans in the New Orleans basketball stadium began to cheer for McGrady's wonderful tomahawk dunk...

In response to this dunk, the guest commentators on the scene of the Hornets launched a heated discussion.

"Although Tracy's physical function has degraded a lot, and she has been suffering from injuries. But he still cannot be ignored. As long as he is on the court, he has more than [-] ways to put the basketball into the basket. Peja Stowe Although Kevic is very good, his physical talent is indeed his weakness." TNT commentator Kenny Smith said.

"Yes, Tracy is the most talented player I have ever seen. I think even in his peak period, he can play at most [-]% of his potential. He should be more comprehensive than LeBron James, I think He can play four positions and average a triple-double as long as he is willing." Jeff Van Gundy still loves the old Tracy McGrady very much.

"If talent is the only theory, shouldn't Kwame Brown be a Shaquille O'Neal-level player? Talent and potential are all imaginary. How is his performance on the court? Just how? No need to add any 'he hasn't yet Untapped potential' nonsense, what kind of potential is untapped potential?" Charles Barkley was on the fence with Jeff Van Gundy today.

…………

Amidst the chatter of the commentators on the scene, the game is still going on fiercely...

Hornets possession of the ball!

Chris Paul quickly dribbled the ball to the front court. Facing Brooks' defense, Paul did not directly use his body to force a breakthrough.

Although Brooks can keep up with his footsteps, it's just to keep up. It's easy for Paul to shoot over his head.However, scoring by himself is no longer the goal Paul is pursuing at this stage.

When Paul dribbled the ball and forcibly pressed one step to the free throw line, Paul suddenly turned his back, and after hitting twice with his strong body, he handed the basketball hand to Peja Stowe who came through. Kevic.

After handing the ball to Peja Stockovic, Paul quickly moved his body one step to the right.

Immediately, McGrady, who was chasing after him, was delayed for a while.

After McGrady stopped and walked around, Paul didn't stay idle, and quickly went down from the other end to the penalty area, forming a small V-shape with Peja Stockovic's down route-a typical The double line breaks after crossing each other.

Paul went all the way, and Peja was blocked by Carl Landry. After all, the basketball is now in Peja's hands.

Seeing that McGrady was about to catch up, Peja quickly passed the basketball to Paul from the gap between Landry's waving arms with a strike. Paul received the basketball and did not shoot.

Instead, he continued to move forward a step, and Carl Landry quickly moved over seeing this.At this time, Paul, who saw the opportunity, suddenly threw the basketball to the backboard.

Realizing that he had been fooled, Carl Landry quickly turned around and jumped up to try to block the shot, but it was already too late.

A black shadow enveloped the sky above Carl Landry's head like a dark cloud!

boom!There was a loud noise, and Jack's lips were tightly pursed in the air. With all his strength, Jack smashed the basketball in his hand into the basket.

The basket was overwhelmed, the basket was buzzing, and the basket was shaking from side to side...

And Carl Landry, who was slightly inferior in physical fitness and jumped on the spot, was riding on his crotch, which was even more embarrassing than Hilton.

The exclamation from the scene invaded the basketball court like a tidal wave. Cheers, screams... Immediately, the entire basketball arena was flooded.

The cooperation between Paul and Jack immediately raised the morale of the Hornets to the maximum.

Immediately, the two sides returned to the situation of confrontation with each other again.

At the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides came to 76 to 68, and the Rockets temporarily fell behind by 8 points.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, players from both sides continued to return to the court.

Alston brought the basketball to the frontcourt and immediately handed it over to Tracy McGrady, who was full of offensive desire. McGrady did not shake off Peja after three or four feints, but he did not choose to pass the ball, but Throw the basketball in with a difficult fadeaway.

McGrady's shooting narrowed the point difference between the two sides to only the last 6 points left.

There is still a 6-point difference, and there are more than 10 minutes left in the game, and the Rockets have rekindled their confidence in winning.

"Boom!", David West's shot under the basket missed!
Yao Ming controlled the rebound and the Rockets had the ball.

Maddie is Maddie!
Facing Peja Stockovic's defense, McGrady made a big stride and crushed Peja Stockovic directly.

Facing David West who was defending, he tightened his waist forcibly, a pick from the basket, a layup with a low hand, and picked the ball into the basket.

David West also made a counterattack, turned around and shot at the basket, and with a "swap", the basketball hit the net!

In the first minute of the fourth quarter, McGrady played at the level of his peak.

McGrady went straight to the basket and made a small hook under the basket. Unfortunately, David West interfered with you.

"Drip..." The referee's whistle sounded, even if McGrady missed the shot.However, David West's offensive foul was caused.

"rinse"

"rinse"

McGrady made two free throws!

Even if McGrady got that score, there are only the last 6 points left.

Mason still doesn't have the credibility of Paul. At this critical moment, Mason's pass was blocked by Brooks.

After Brooks succeeded in stealing the ball, without the slightest hesitation, he directly threw the basketball in his hand to McGrady who had already reached the basket.

The Hornets returned to defense in a timely manner, and the Rockets had no chance of a fast break.

However, McGrady, whose eyes were red, ignored this.

One meter away from the three-point line, McGrady ignored the defender in front of him, and directly pulled it up from the ground one meter away from the three-point line.

Maddie's wrist trembled!

The basketball rolled away from the fingertip of Jack's index finger, and the basketball rolled and slid towards the basket. With a sound of "swap", the basketball directly smashed into the basket.

The basketball directly aroused a large wave of brilliant waves on the rim, and there was a clear and clean sound of the basketball brushing the rim and hitting the net.

The Rockets' morale was greatly boosted by McGrady's outburst during this period. Byron Scott quickly called a timeout. He couldn't make the Rockets go crazy like this.

Taking advantage of this timeout, Jack and Paul, a pair of Hornets, returned to the field one after another.

Pause back!

Paul made a shot near the free throw line, and with a "boom!", the basketball was still short.

The rebound was controlled by Yao Ming.

McGrady dribbled the ball across the half court alone, exercising the core power of unlimited control and unlimited fire.

The successive outbreaks in the first half of the fourth quarter allowed him to accumulate enough confidence.

At halftime, McGrady summoned Luis Scola with a flick of his finger in order to save energy.

After he blocked Jack, he suddenly accelerated and dodged the defense, and then immediately stopped for a jump shot. At critical moments, he always believed in his touch.

boom!
Jack's defense is quite shocking. Facing the sudden increase in defensive strength, McGrady's rhythm is still disrupted.

The basketball hit the front of the basket heavily, and because McGrady shot most of the shots hit the inner frame, it bounced high and far.

In this regard, the inside line huddled under the basket could only watch the basketball fly towards McGrady's shooting direction in vain.

Seeing the basketball flying towards him, McGrady quickly started to try to take off the offensive rebound.

And when his palm was less than a foot away from the basketball, suddenly, a big palm that covered the sky shot out across the sky, and the flying basketball changed his original flying position.

Immediately, the basketball quickly changed its trajectory and flew to the right, and McGrady hurriedly chased it.

But at this time, the home team player with the number 33 on his back was already stuck on his back and took advantage of the space to take off the basketball and hold it firmly in his arms.

Somehow, McGrady reached out to steal the rebound in Jack's arms.

drop!
The referee signaled that Tracy McGrady was fouled with a ball. Since the accumulated fouls did not reach four times, there were no free throws.

Hornets possession of the ball!

Paul controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and he dribbled the ball two steps beyond the three-point line. It took only six seconds for him to jump straight away.

Swish!
The sound of the basketball crashing into the net is reflected in the ghostly smile, and Paul will never be soft-handed at critical moments.

It was still Tracy McGrady holding the ball and acting as the point guard. He dribbled the ball to two steps beyond the three-point line, and it took only six seconds for him to jump straight away.Just when all the fans thought he was crazy...

Swish!
Basketball hits the net!
