Defending champion

Chapter 85 Turn the tide
After the dunk, Jack returned to the defense with a blank face, passing by McGrady who fell to the ground.Looking directly into Tracy McGrady's aggressive eyes, he said word by word: "Starting from this one ball, I will take over the game."

McGrady, who fell to the ground, didn't say anything, but quietly watched Jack's back when he returned to the defense.An unprecedented chill began to spread in his heart, and McGrady felt that the current Jack was very scary.A murderous aura permeated his whole body, which made people shudder.

Jack had just retreated to his defensive camp, and the Hornets teammates immediately rushed up. Jr Smith, a bastard, seemed to have gone crazy, and threw himself on Jack.

"Hey! Jack, you are awesome! Tracy was overwhelmed by you." jr Smith shouted in a rough voice.

"Jr, you'd better come down for me, they're coming. We need to defend against this attack." Jack said coldly with no expression on his face, and there was no joy on his face because of the dunk just now feeling.

"Jack, great job!" Chris Paul gave Jack a thumbs up and gave Jack a big slap on the ass.When Paul celebrates, he usually likes to hit Jack's ass to show how close the two are.

Jack shrugged, "Praise for winning the game! I must win this game."

With 1 minute and 40 seconds left in the game, the Hornets were still 7 points behind.Rockets possession.

The Rockets still handed the ball to Tracy McGrady.In the last 2 minutes of the game, the ball was handed over to McGrady.This is the unchanging truth of the Rockets, even though McGrady was blocked by Jack just now.

The Hornets adopted a man-to-man strategy this time.Under Jack's suffocating defense, McGrady has never created a suitable shooting opportunity.

Tracy McGrady was defended by Jack with no space to shoot, and no way to break through to the inside to kill. He has consumed 24 seconds of the 18-second offense.

McGrady had no choice but to pass the ball to Alston who came to meet him.

At this moment, Paul came out of the way like a ghost.Cut off McGrady's pass this time.

After Jack saw Paul succeed in stealing the ball, he didn't think about anything, subconsciously exhausted all his strength, and rushed to the frontcourt...

Paul, who successfully steals the ball, saw Jack's running route, realized it in time, and sent a long pass through the audience.

Paul deserves to be the top passer in the league.

The basketball draws a rainbow high in the sky, directly above Jack, who is impartial.

Jack picked up the basketball in the air, the three-point line passed under his feet, and the free throw line stepped under his shoes. Jack jumped high, and his body soared like an eagle spreading its wings.

Holding the ball high with one hand in his right hand, Jack rose to the highest point, paused in the air, concentrated all his strength on the ball, and smashed it down crazily.

"Bang bang!" The net was thrown up like a huge wave after smashing into a boulder.

After dunking the basket, Jack let go of his hand, fell from the basket, and stood staggeringly under the basket.

After being stunned at the basket for a moment, Jack quickly turned around and returned to defense. The game was not over yet, and the Hornets were still 5 points behind, with more than a minute left.

The morale of the Hornets was also lifted because of Jack's two dunks.

Although the Rockets are now leading by 5 points, judging from the current situation, it is very unsafe.

At this moment, Da Fan hurriedly called a time-out and made arrangements.

Back on the bench, Byron praised Jack heavily.Moreover, a tactic of waiting was arranged, "Jack, wait a minute, your main task is to limit McGrady's offense. In the last moments of the game, Da Fan, an old ghost, likes to rely on McGrady very much. As long as you can Guard McGrady, we seize the opportunity to fight back and we will definitely win this game."

Jack nodded heavily.Even if Byron didn't say anything about Jack, he would firmly restrain Maddy.Jack doesn't like failure, Jack hates failure.However, Jack felt that if he wanted to win the Rockets, it would be difficult to defeat McGrady just by limiting his performance.After thinking about it, Jack still expressed his concerns.

"Coach, I think there is another possibility. Da Fan will hand the ball to Yao Ming who has an absolute advantage in the interior. They first use McGrady and other players' restraint on the perimeter to create enough space for Yao Ming in the interior. Shoot." Jack shared his concerns with Byron.

In fact, this is Jack's intuition, which tells Jack that Dafan will arrange it in this way.

In response to Jack's concerns, Byron also carefully considered it.

……

"beep"

As soon as Byron Scott's tactics were arranged, the 20-second timeout ended.

"Kill the Houstonians!" Jack roared first!
"Get rid of the Houstonians!" All the players roared into a group, and walked onto the court with a murderous look.

The fans at the scene were also ignited,
"Kill the Houstonians! Come on, the Hornets! Kill the Houstonians! Come on, the Hornets!..." The sound of cheering on the scene rushed towards the stadium like waves.

After returning from the timeout, the Rockets handed over the ball to McGrady. It seems that Fan is still obsessed with wanting to use McGrady to solve the battle!

In fact, McGrady, who holds the ball on the outside, is just a bait.The Rockets continued to pass the ball on the perimeter, forcing the Hornets to expand their defense.

Jack's guess was correct, they wanted to use this method to make room for Yao Ming inside.After the Rockets passed the ball three times on the outside, the ball reached Alston's hands, and Alston saw that Yao Ming on the inside had already succeeded.

Quickly hoisted the ball into the hands of Yao Ming inside.

Jack has been waiting for this.

At the moment when Alston passed the ball, Jack flew towards the basketball like a tiger on a rabbit.

Before the basketball reached Yao Ming's hands, the ball was broken.Jack got the basketball and drove to the frontcourt as if he went crazy.

"Peng" made a loud noise.

The Hornets were still three points behind with the final 3 seconds remaining in the game.

At this time, the Rockets called another timeout to make arrangements.

The ball is in the hands of the Rockets. If the Rockets score in this wave of offense, the Rockets will definitely win.

If not scored, the Rockets will be very passive.

Therefore, at this critical juncture, Da Fan, who has always been conservative, quickly used up the last time-out.
