Chapter 55 The Offensive and Defensive Battle with McGrady
"Rookie, you pissed me off." When Tracy McGrady returned to defense, she spat out such a trash talk to Jack again.But the difference this time is that Tracy McGrady's lazy eyes showed a hint of murderous intent.

"Didn't you already say this sentence just now?" Jack retorted unceremoniously.Jack is never afraid of any provocation, even from superstar Tracy McGrady.

Tracy McGrady caught the ball directly from the three-point line and faced Jack's defense, while dribbling the ball slowly while chattering trash, "Hey! Rookie, you can't guard me, Now I have at least 20 ways to score the ball over your head. I want to keep scoring, scoring, and scoring over your head."

"Hmph, you're a woman who can only talk nonsense, stinky woman." Jack immediately shot back.If it's talking trash, who hasn't Jack been afraid of so far?Trash talk is his forte.

"If you can't beat you, can you still beat you?" Jack thought in his heart.

No matter how good-tempered McGrady was, after hearing this sentence, he couldn't help but still lost his temper.Suddenly a huge change of direction dribbles, suddenly shaking the defensive Jack a little out of position.Seeing this, McGrady quickly accelerated and galloped towards Jack's weak side...

The explosive power of McGrady's step is very strong. At this moment, it is too late for Jack to chase.Jack could only look at McGrady's back now, "shit..." Jack cursed.

"Boom" is another one-handed snap.

"Hey! Rookie, how about this dunk! Oh, doesn't it feel great!" After McGrady successfully dunked, he naturally challenged Jack.

"I let you play this ball, don't be too happy. From the next ball onwards, I will use [-]% of my strength to deal with you. You have to be careful!" Jack said. He shot back very disdainfully.

"Hmph, are you just a rookie who can only talk big? You have no strength at all. No wonder you say that you can surpass Tim Duncan." McGrady immediately shot back.

While Jack and McGrady were trash-talking each other, Chris Paul drove for a layup and drew a defensive foul from Hayes.

Paul got to the free throw line.

"rinse"

"rinse"

Basketball hit the net.

Paul made two free throws, and before he knew it, the momentum returned to the Hornets.

The Hornets started their big counterattack.

The Rockets still use McGrady as their main attack point. Alston mainly handed the ball to McGrady as soon as he dribbled the ball for halftime.

This time, McGrady didn't get any advantage from Jack.

McGrady faced Jack's defense, and after several consecutive dribbles under the crotch, Jack's center of gravity remained motionless.McGrady had no other choice but to choose a very difficult fadeaway jumper.

This time Jack's defense was in place, and McGrady's shot was very uncomfortable.Sure enough, the arc of the basketball he shot was very short.Didn't even touch the rim.McGrady made a very rare vote.

The fans booed wildly.The fans collectively yelled, "Bread, bread,..."

"Oh, my God! McGrady will throw a bread, man, this time, I have to say that Jack's defense has played a very important role for McGrady. McGrady is only 3 under Jack's defense. One shot. In the front McGrady made nine of 12 shots! Now we should become Jack as the "McGrady Terminator." The commentator on the scene shouted wildly.

"When players feel cold again, I still think it's McGrady's own reason. Even if he is a superstar, you still can't expect him to maintain a fiery touch in normal games." The commentator Kenny said .

"Perhaps! But I think Jack is still very interesting."

While the commentators were chattering, the Hornets took advantage of McGrady's missed shot.A quick counterattack, and finally Paul assisted jr Smith.

Jr Smith lived up to expectations and successfully chased three points for the Hornets.

In the next 3 minutes, the Hornets truly interpreted the true meaning of basketball team basketball.

Under the leadership of Paul, the Hornets played a wave of 15 to 5 spurts and successfully approached the score.

On the contrary, on the Rockets' side, they only relied on McGrady to do it alone in the third quarter.Moreover, under Jack's defense, McGrady's shooting percentage is not high. Only 7 of 2 shots.

Facing Alston's defense, Paul used his physical advantage to run over Alston directly, and then went straight to the basket.Paul also wanted to boost morale with a dunk.However, Yao Ming under the basket defended him, and Paul realized that something was wrong, so he changed the dunk into a layup.

"Bah"

Chris Paul, whose body was too twisted in the air, finally missed the layup.

When Hayes at the basket was about to grab a rebound, suddenly a very oppressive figure flashed past him quickly and jumped high.Using his big hands, he shot the ball into the basket.

Jack is adding two points for the Hornets.Although, in sports warfare, Jack didn't rely on his own ability to create a single score.However, relying on the assists of his teammates and his active tip-ups, he has scored 10 points and 13 rebounds so far.

The current score is 67 to 63, and the Hornets are still 4 points behind.

Seeing that the Hornets teammates were getting closer to the score, Da Fan quickly called a timeout to make adjustments.If there is a team that continues to play like this, it will be a lie not to lose.

"Hey! Dude, what else do you have to say to you? Byron's adjustment this time is very successful, and Jack's defense of McGrady is very successful. McGrady made 7 of 2 shots in this quarter. You Is there anything else to say? And so far, Jack has scored 10 points and 13 rebounds. Can you ask for more from a rookie?" Jazz asked.

"Yes, yes, even if Jack can win another large double-double today, I still have doubts about whether Jack can become a superstar in the league. Why do I say that? Jack's defensive ability Very strong, I have no doubts about this. He can limit the two-time scoring champion McGrady in the game. His defensive ability is strong, which can only ensure that he will become a first-class defensive champion. Super star. Also, Jack’s ability to actively create points is very poor. Although Jack can score more than 10 points, but these [-] points are all obtained through the assists of Paul and other teammates. Therefore, I say that Jack is in the league There is no problem at all, but if you become a star like Jordan or Kobe, Jack still has a long way to go?"

"Even if you say that, I still maintain my point of view. Jack is a very good basketball player. I think he has the potential to become a superstar. I am optimistic about Jack." The Jazz clearly expressed their support for Jack.

"Is there a superstar whose points are all based on the assists of his teammates?" Kenny countered.

"Then tell me, is there another super star who can score consecutive double-doubles in the first few games of his career?" The Jazz said directly, choking Kenny to death.
