Defending champion

Chapter 51 Maddie's Awakening

(Thanks for the reward from Yaowang book friends! Thank you! Thank you!)
"Hey! Dude, Yao Ming is on the court. It's a good show this time. Yao Ming is not as easy to deal with as Hayes. Jack wants to get so many rebounds like he did in the first quarter. It's not easy!"

"That's right! Yao is the tallest player in the league, and rebounding is his special skill! Yao Ming won't let Jack be so presumptuous inside."

"However, as a rookie, Jack can't be predicted by common sense. He often does something unexpected. It's not certain that Jack will score more than a dozen rebounds on Yao's head later."

……

The personnel on the Hornets' side still haven't made any adjustments, and Byron still keeps Jack on the court.

Dafan's pause this time has indeed played a very important role.At least that's how McGrady is.The former scoring champion - Tracy McGrady, his face is full of murderous look.

The Rockets' offense, McGrady received a pass from Alstom.

This time it was Butler who defended McGrady. McGrady singled Butler. McGrady had at least ten ways to score the ball over Butler's head.

McGrady has a great advantage over Butler in height and speed, and McGrady is particularly calm against Butler.

Facing Butler's defense, McGrady first aimed his eyes at Butler's sides, as if feeling that he wanted to make a breakthrough.Butler didn't dare to act rashly anymore.

Suddenly, McGrady made a fake move in place, swinging his head and shoulders at the same time.This fake move was very deceptive, and Butler became even more confused.He couldn't guess which side McGrady wanted to break through at all, and now he could only tighten his defensive nerves.

"LS, guard his shot." Jack yelled.In his previous life, he did not study McGrady's offensive moves less, especially his unsolvable killer move, the jump shot.Generally, when McGrady makes this move, he will use this move to make a very clean pull-up jumper.

Butler hurriedly jumped up to block his jumper.

It's too late, it's too late, McGrady suddenly received the ball at the moment when Butler appeared in a daze, his feet bounced up instantly, his body was straight, he didn't lean back, he almost jumped up and shot next to Butler, and he didn't give a shot at all. Any room for Butler to jump.

McGrady suddenly pulled up and jumped up to shoot.Butler, who was pinned by McGrady, didn't dare to jump up to block the shot, for fear that if he accidentally hit McGrady with a two plus one, it would be even more unworthy.

"brush"

Basketball hit the net.

McGrady looked at Butler and shrugged with a smile.

McGrady's action made Butler furious——Your sister, you treat me like a child, don't you?
At this time, Jack has quickly run back to participate in the attack of the Hornets.

Seeing Butler who was in a daze, Jack roared loudly: "Hey! Dude, why are you so dazed? If you have the ability to beat him, you will get the points back!"

Butler immediately came back to his senses when he heard it, and ran forward almost with all his strength.Butler, like Jack, is also a man who refuses to admit defeat.So it was able to become very good friends with Jack.

Butler's offense was very active this time, constantly interspersed with running positions.Relying on Jack's empty-handed cover on the inside, Butler had a big open opportunity.

McGrady's supplementary defense was not very timely. Butler seized this opportunity and shot resolutely, with his hands up and down.

With a sound of "swipe", the basketball also hit the net.

Butler shrugged at McGrady and spread his hands.It looks very cute!
Although, compared to Jack's cuteness, he is still far behind, but his provocative actions are also arrogant enough.

Butler is also very excited, very excited to high-five Jack, Paul and other teammates.

"Russell... Butler..." The DJ at the scene was also shouting Butler's name desperately.

However, McGrady was unmoved at all, and immediately went back to prepare for the next attack.

This time, McGrady didn't go forward to ask for the ball to play singles.And just like Butler, he kept interspersing and running in the paint.From time to time, there is an eye contact with Alston, who is controlling the ball from the outside.

Alstom, who was outside the three-point line, immediately understood in time, and Alston hoisted the ball high to McGrady under the basket.

Jack saw the basketball hanging past the moment, Jack immediately understood in time, and the alliance turned around and ran in to destroy this alley-oop.But the direction of basketball is not going to him after all, and the most important thing is that Alston is a damn inspin whether he is shooting or passing.

"squeak!"

Tracy McGrady, who jumped high, took advantage of her excellent wingspan, grabbed it with both hands, and slammed the ball just right into the basket.

With a sound of "Peng", the basketball was smashed into the basket.

The scene was silent, and the audience was so shocked by this ball that they lost their temper at all.After about 5 seconds, the audience booed McGrady collectively.Because this is the home of the Hornets.

This ball is a good shot, very beautiful, very elegant, and very ornamental.Definitely the top ten ball of the day.

……

"Oh. My God! The scoring champion Tracy McGrady is back, and now the Hornets are in trouble. Obviously Butler has no defense to stop Tracy McGrady who is feeling hot today. What defensive strategy do you think they will adopt against Tracy McGrady Woolen cloth?"

"I think the Hornets should call a timeout. At this time, Tracy's hand style is really smooth. If this continues, the Hornets will be blown up one by one by himself."

"The Hornets must now have an offense that allows you to stand up and contain McGrady. In the 5 minutes from the start of the second quarter to the present, Tracy made all 5 shots, scored 12 points, and had 5 assists. gone."

"That's right, if McGrady can't be contained, the Hornets will lose today."

……

McGrady's performance has not yet ended because of this dunk.

Instead, the Hornets' nightmare is only now beginning.

The Hornets' offense, Chris Paul beat Alston hard, but the basketball was not shot.

The rebound was won by Yao Ming, and the Hornets' quick return to defense did not give the Rockets a chance to form a fast break.
