I'm really good at shooting.

Chapter 619 It's a man with passion
"Tracy, the season is long, you don't have anything to prove."

After sitting down, Sun Hao said in a more tactful manner.

McGrady glanced at Sun Hao, and seemed to understand that what Sun Hao did in the first quarter was to protect him, and then nodded.

Back in the second quarter, the two sides continued to rotate.

On the Thunder side, Westbrook reappeared at the beginning of the second quarter after a short break.

When he was young, Westbrook, like Iverson, was a real iron man.

For the Warriors, except for replacing Curry, the remaining four are all substitutes, including McGrady, who played well in the first quarter.

As soon as he came up, Westbrook changed direction and went straight to the inside of the Warriors again.

Curry can't do anything against this type of guard on the defensive end.

The insiders of the Warriors at the moment are Landry and Hayes. These two are excellent in top defense and active in assist defense. Even against the top insiders, they can fight.

But against Westbrook's style of play, they don't seem to be very good.

I saw Westbrook rushing into the three-second zone and leaping, turning his body into a full bow, and then smashing the ball into the basket across Hayes.

Landry's defense was too late, and Hayes didn't have time to stop when he wanted to make an offensive foul.

"Oh!"

Then, the fans at Oracle Arena saw an extremely cruel dunk.

Moreover, Hayes was already rushing to draw a foul, his center of gravity was unstable, and he was directly thrown off the court by Westbrook.

"beep!"

The bottom line referee blew his whistle and signaled Hayes' blocking foul!
Buckle 2 plus 1!

There is a reasonable collision zone under the NBA basket. Hayes has a good idea, but Westbrook's speed is too fast to give him a chance to make a reasonable collision zone.

Sun Hao couldn't help but smack his mouth.

Even if the more than one year when he retired is removed, he has played full games in the NBA for more than eight years, but during these times, no other guard has played so well.

Now here are two.

Who is the other one?Rose, who was selected as an All-Star in the second grade this year!
After Westbrook landed, his veins burst into roars, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles possessed him.

Adjust your breathing, add a penalty and make a steady hit.

28:20.

Looking back, maybe because he listened to Sun Hao's words, McGrady did not choose to attack personally, but started to organize an attack.

Compared with Curry, he has richer vision, passing skills and experience.

A very beautiful card dealt at the top of the arc, Curry caught the ball and made a three-pointer.

However, the Thunder also knew Curry's current style of play. The early switch defense caused interference, and Curry failed to make this three-pointer.

Westbrook showed his sense of rebounding, accurately judged where the basketball will fall, and used his body to grab the long rebound, then turned around and went forward for a fast break.

McGrady tried to block it, but Westbrook's change of direction was too fast, and he didn't even have time to foul.

There is really a catapult installed under the feet, and it disappears after a rub.

"Oh!"

Then the fans once again witnessed the torture performance of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

His style of play has not changed much from the first quarter, but he didn't have much chance to perform because of Ibaka and Oden under the basket in the first quarter.

Now that neither of them are present, he finally has room to play!

28 is better than 22!

And after this wave of his personal scoring 5 points in a row, he has helped the Thunder reduce the score to 6 points!
Old Nelson got up and walked to the sidelines at this time.

Although he didn't say anything, it can still be seen from his actions that he is considering lineup adjustments.

The expression on Maddy's face changed slightly at this time.

If he is young, he can switch to Westbrook and use his physical talent to limit Westbrook's activation, thereby limiting the latter's performance.

But now that is not realistic for him at all, the defense in that round just now has already explained everything.

But he has played in the league for more than ten years and knows that the best way to deal with this situation is to score the ball.

Westbrook is fast and can dunk, but in comparison, his power in positional battles is not as great as offensive and defensive transitions.

He can't have the opportunity to dunk Hayes every round.

It's not Westbrook but Michael Jordan, if you will.

McGrady holds the ball in the frontcourt, which is still an organizational tactic, but the difference is that he called Hayes to the high position to play the pick-and-roll.

Sun Hao could tell what McGrady wanted to do at a glance, and his expression was somewhat helpless.

In less than two rounds, McGrady chose to put his suggestion aside.

As soon as the first gear was dismantled, McGrady glanced at Curry's direction and saw that Curry was still under heavy marking, and then sprinted towards the inside against the defense.

He no longer has the sharp first step of the past, nor the explosive power of jumping up and dunking, but what is left of him is the experience he has accumulated over the years and the basketball that has already been integrated into his body. technology too.

He rushed to the basket unhurriedly, first took the initiative to find a confrontation, and then opened up the space to shoot.

"boom!"

But the defensive player on the opposite side was not polite and knocked him to the ground.

If it's Tracy McGrady at the peak, most people would have probably avoided it when they saw McGrady protruding to such a deep position, and they would be scared if they didn't hide.

Because of the words of Peak Mai, it is the existence of Sean Bradley who has ridden the "big bamboo pole" and is 2 meters 29!

But now, the tiger is in peace and the hero is twilight. Most people see him not with fear, but with joy.

Although the tiger is still a tiger in Pingyang, if you kill it, it will be a great opportunity for you to become a leader.

"beep!"

However, McGrady is indeed experienced. After feeling the confrontation, he completed the shot and won a free throw opportunity.

The price was that because he didn't have time to take a protective action, he landed on his shoulders with a painful expression on his face.

This moment scared the audience in the stands and Mullin and others in the management team.

If McGrady is injured in the first game, it will be a big blow to the Warriors.

Fortunately, McGrady lay on the ground for a while before being pulled up by others.

He shook his arms after getting up, and it seemed that the problem was not serious.

Adjust your breathing and make one of two free throws.

The key is that the second free throw was made, and the Thunder did not have a chance to directly launch a fast break.

As a result, it's not bad.

Back at the position, Westbrook wanted to repeat the same trick, but this time Hayes posted it in advance to give the confrontation.

Compared with the impact, Westbrook's technology level is relatively weak.

After the confrontation, he couldn't find a mobile phone and stopped the ball directly.

Then Hayes snapped the ball straight away with a quick shot.

After a fight for the floor ball, Zhu Fangyu finally grabbed the ball with his fists.

The two sides exchanged the ball, and the Thunder made a mistake.

With this attack and defense, the Warriors temporarily stabilized their momentum, and Nelson turned around and sat back on the bench.

McGrady continued to hold the ball in the frontcourt, and Hayes continued to pull the high pick-and-roll.

This time, the defender on the opposite side instinctively took a step back, because McGrady basically rushed in after the pick-and-roll tonight, and from the results, he scored points.

But just this time when the opposite side shrank, McGrady used a step to cover, and directly pulled up from outside the three-point line to shoot a three-pointer!
Unlike the previous dry pull, the height of McGrady's ball from the ground is obviously much lower than when it was at its peak.

Don't look at dry pulling is very simple, but only those who have really tried it will know how wasteful this technique is.

So sometimes the fans will also ridicule, if you can't jump high and on time, your waist will be bad.

A low jump height means a low release point.

However, McGrady's choice of the ball was very sudden, and it was too late for the opponent to take a step back and try to come up again.

Although the take-off height is low, the posture is still picturesque.

That's muscle memory formed after countless shots.

The basketball whirled through the air in a perfect parabola.

"Shh!"

Then with an extremely crisp sound, McGrady's three-pointer went straight into the net!

Oracle Arena boiled instantly.

On the bench side, Durant jumped up again shouting.

You may not believe it, McGrady, who has almost fallen to the bottom of his career this season, scored 7 points in less than 9 minutes in his first game with the Warriors!

Really no one can think of it, it seems that everyone's judgment is wrong, McGrady is still that T-mac!

Sun Hao was also a little dazed, especially when McGrady blocked Westbrook for a layup when he came back from the next round.

This is... a four-star warrior?

"boom!"

But immediately, the reality told him that it was not that simple.

McGrady's layup after another breakthrough was chased and blocked by Westbrook.

He really couldn't jump.

The ball went out of bounds and went dead, and the two sides made substitutions one after another.

The Warriors replaced Curry with Durant.

Although Azubuike was reimbursed for the season and Matthews was traded, this rotation feels that the ancestors are too rich.

Durant was very excited when he came on the court.

He was replaced with Curry in the first quarter, which means that this is the first time he and McGrady are teammates. The excitement is completely understandable.

The sideline ball was sent out, and after receiving the ball, he rushed directly to the basket and scored a layup.

When the ball was dead just now, the Thunder had already replaced the starter Krstic. The ball had physical confrontation and it was not easy to score.

But when he actually entered, he seemed even more excited.

He found McGrady and clapped hands at the first time, his expression was like talking about it, he was excited because he successfully helped McGrady get an assist...

Sun Hao couldn't help laughing when he saw it.

People like Durant, if you have little contact with him, you will think he is a weirdo, but as you get more and more in contact with him, you will find yourself liking him more and more.

Because he doesn't hide his true emotions most of the time.

This is definitely an alternative in the NBA.

Oden also appeared on the court with Durant, and his presence made the Thunder dare not rush to the basket casually.

Jeff Glenn missed a shot from the perimeter, and Oden also protected the defensive rebound.

Looking back, McGrady wanted to continue attacking the ball, but Durant stretched out his hand at this time to signal McGrady to attack by himself, and then went directly to the bottom corner.

This scene seems familiar.

When Sun Hao first came to the Warriors, Durant did the same.

Respect and admiration for these two people is one aspect, and another very important aspect is that Durant is actually a person with a strong sense of team, which is how his famous hot-handed hard pass came about.

McGrady also lived up to Durant's kindness.

And the restraint effect Durant brought to the Thunder on the court is obviously not at the same level as Curry.

After all, an All-Star starts a rookie.

McGrady got more space to attack and less defensive pressure, and then he drove to the free throw line for a pull-up jumper.

"boom!"

The shot was slightly off, but the ball bounced off the edge of the rim and fell in the second time!

On such an important night, God stood behind him.

After scoring this goal, McGrady has scored 11 points efficiently.

36 is better than 22!

After McGrady scored this goal, the Warriors opened up the score again!
And Durant's presence on the court is completely opposite to Sun Hao's before. He really plays for McGrady.

McGrady's scoring is also increasing.

At the end of the game, the Warriors finally defeated the Thunder 106-89.

Westbrook played the best on the Thunder side, scoring a team-high 31 points, and Jeff Green also scored 19 points. The future can be expected.

And the Warriors scored the most points before the game, no one could have imagined that it was not Sun Hao or Durant, but McGrady...

McGrady made 17 of 11 shots and scored a team-high 26 points and 5 assists.

What, Durant and Sun Hao didn't score more than 26?

Durant is playing for Tracy McGrady. As for Sun Hao, it's time to lie down...

Ever since, McGrady attended the press conference after the game.

He also became the focus of media questions.

But when the press conference was over, he didn't go back to the locker room and went directly to the team doctor.

Sun Hao and Durant went with him.

McGrady's shoulder is injured.

And his waist injury has also aggravated.

He didn't think there was any problem because of the excitement he played on the court.

But after the game was over and his body cooled down, he actually felt a little bit.

The good news is that McGrady's back problem is old and will get better with rest.

As for his shoulder injury, it is not too serious, and he can recover after a month or so of rest.

This is a fortune in misfortune.

"I feel like my luck has changed since I came to Oakland."

After hearing what the team doctor said, McGrady felt very sunny again.

"Tracy, don't be lucky. You shouldn't have played for so long. If you get injured again next time, no one can guarantee that you will be so lucky."

This time, before Sun Hao could say anything, the team doctor had already spoken.

This is not Portland. The professionalism of the Warriors' team medical team in treating Oden already shows their professional ability.

So after seeing McGrady's attitude, the team doctor still made the necessary reminders.

After listening to McGrady, he glanced at the team doctor, and then at Sun Hao.

The two people said to him at different times, but the meaning is the same.

If he really wants to compete for the championship, this is an issue he must pay attention to.

After all, he is still on a maximum salary contract. If he lies down and the Warriors fail to win the championship because of this, then he may really be finished.

Seeing the change in McGrady's expression, Sun Hao also heaved a sigh of relief.

The team doctor, a teammate, is quite awesome.

After playing the Thunder and then two games in succession, the Warriors entered the All-Star Game with the No. [-] score in the Western Conference.

As a result, the old Nelson became the head coach of the All-Star starter after many years.

Of course, these are not the most important things. The most important thing is that the long-awaited three-point contest is coming soon!
