Healing Basketball

Chapter 394. 394. The Warden Waiting for an Opportunity (Yesterday's Supplement 12)

The score was tied at 27, and it was the Nets' turn to attack.

McGrady was on the rise, and hit a close-range one-and-two jumper, raising his personal score to 16 points, 29 to 27, and the Nets once again took a 2-point lead!
The combined offensive efficiency of the previous two teams is actually not particularly high, but in the short first quarter, the Nets have had two scoring spree times, scoring seven or eight points each time, and now they are here again !This kind of crazy time is the stage when McGrady starts playing singles!

The Trail Blazers carried it every time before, and regained the lead in the next one.

But now the timing is very special. It is not a question of whether the Trail Blazers can regain the lead, but if they don't hold it, they will fall behind and enter the intermission.

After fighting for a whole quarter, being overtaken by a star of the opponent, the morale blow can be imagined.

The Trail Blazers players thought of the Knicks and Wizards who played against each other not long ago!

However, when the Trail Blazers attacked, Fred Jones made an open three-pointer!

This can't be blamed on Fred Jones, he is a role player with outstanding athletic ability and basic shooting skills.

It’s okay if you don’t know what this goal represents. The key point is that they just defeated the Knicks and Wizards not long ago. He knows the importance of this goal too much, and the pressure is too great.

McGrady protected the defensive rebound and pushed for a counterattack!
The Trail Blazers have always had good defensive discipline, and they have done a good job of retreating. McGrady has an excellent ability to push back. He went to the Nets and watched Kidd push back a few times. Fighting back, it didn't show much.

However, it is still a little bit worse against the anti-counterattack formation led by Raheem, Kwame Brown, and McDyess.

However, the counterattack was not successful, and McGrady's counterattack was not fruitless-creating a dislocation!

It is Liu Xiu who sticks to McGrady at the top arc!

With a height difference of more than ten centimeters, Liu Xiu could only stick to McGrady and interfere with McGrady's take-off.

Fortunately, it's the end of the quarter and it's at home, otherwise Liu Xiu's defensive action might be called a foul.

But for Tracy McGrady, it is already a perfect scoring opportunity.

McGrady took Liu Xiu's oppressive defense and took a step back.

Liu Xiu didn't press up just because McGrady withdrew. After McGrady withdrew, the distance after McGrady's retreat was one meter away from the top arc.

McGrady's retreat was not for shooting, but for the starting space. After withdrawing, he immediately accelerated and broke through to the right!
Liu Xiu moved horizontally to the left with all his strength, 'Talent: Blocking Type' was triggered, and moved horizontally at full speed. At this moment, McGrady was surprised, Liu Xiu blocked his first step!But for a moment of surprise, McGrady's muscle memory allowed him to quickly dial the ball, cross steps, and change directions to break through!
McGrady has a good habit of breaking through. Although when he has enough physical strength to break through the opponent one-on-one, eight times out of ten times he can't keep up with his first step and the faster and faster second and third steps. Every breakthrough has lowered the center of gravity of the ball to a very low level, ensuring that the speed of the ball can be accelerated at any time, and the direction of the cross step can be changed quickly. He is also at the top level!
Quickly changing his desire to break through to the left, McGrady is already considering whether to shoot or pass after entering the interior...

A fierce confrontation came, and McGrady was bumped... No, he bumped into the opponent, and he was bumped into a stagger!

The second section of 'Talent: Blocking Type' exploded and accelerated, Liu Xiu moved to the right at the fastest speed, and was on McGrady's breakthrough line first!
McGrady's explosive acceleration is very fast, but the change of direction acceleration after the full-speed breakthrough is not as fast as Liu Xiu's full-speed start!

After the confrontation, Liu Xiu was impulsive for a while, and pressed on McGrady, who had bumped into him and staggered, stretched out his hand...and stole it!

Liu Xiu grabbed the ball, was stuck by McGrady, Fred Jones rushed out to meet, Liu Xiu passed the ball, Fred Jones advanced to counterattack!
Liu Xiu followed quickly and moved closer to the sideline.

McGrady was actively chasing Liu Xiu, regardless of the matter of being intercepted, he was a little bit confused-how did this guy run sideways?
Vaco!

How to run so fast!
McGrady pursued with all his strength, but after playing the first quarter, he retreated and broke through on the offensive end just now, crossed and changed to a strong attack... Chasing and counterattacking without slowing down... Can't keep up with Liu Xiu!

'Talent: Flanking' triggers, Liu Xiu's speed +3, start at full speed!
Fred Jones' fast break failed to get rid of Richard Jefferson's pursuit. He made an emergency stop outside the three-point line.

Richard Jefferson has excellent defensive awareness. Seeing Liu Xiu who is going down fast, he chooses to close in and protect the board. Fred Jones can't help him even if he makes a shot.

Fred Jones, of course, has to shoot when he is empty. Last year, he played almost full-time for Miller and Artest as a substitute for a year. He still has this awareness, but he is not good at chasing three-pointers. up!
Richard Jefferson, who made the right bet, took off excitedly to grab the rebound, and they still have a chance to attack. Later, McGrady throws a three-pointer, and they will lead by 5 points... Eh?Didn't the other party hit the iron?Why are there so many screams and cheers..."Ah"..."kuang"...

"Talent: Flanking" is triggered, bounce +3, bullet speed +3, coupled with the bonus of 'Little Overlord's Kneepads', the bounce is increased to 89, and the bullet speed is increased to 92!

Liu Xiu rushed into the paint and hit the jumping Richard Jefferson and pushed the ball back to the basket!
The referee blew his whistle and gestured for a foul on a rebound, but when he was referring to Richard Jefferson, he almost didn't have the nerve to point at him... The picture is so beautiful.

The fans near the bottom line were all laughing, and some fans were shouting, "You have the same professional posture as the handsome guy I ordered at the base store. I will definitely order you next time."

Richard Jefferson has a strong sense of self-protection. He protected his body in a ball when he was hit and landed, but he couldn't stand firmly and finally knelt on the ground. It still hurts when he fell. And because of the pain, I wanted to stay away from the floor... the upper body curled up and knelt on the floor in a posture with the buttocks pushed up!
McGrady ran up to see this scene and wanted to turn around and leave, but this was his teammate...

He still didn't dare to touch Richard Jefferson, not because he was afraid of being misunderstood, but because his teammates fell down, it's best not to touch him, it's not that he doesn't have teammates, this is common sense in sports medicine.

Fortunately, the referee is a professional, confirming that the goal is valid, Liu Xiu will have an additional penalty!

Richard Jefferson just hit a hard injury, and it eased, and the pain didn't hurt so much. He stood up and took the hand that McGrady extended to stand up.

Richard Jefferson was puzzled to see Tracy McGrady's eyes open and strange expression, but he was really hurt just now, and he didn't even hear the 'soap invitation' from the fans near the baseline.

The referee was very professional and asked if a timeout was needed, but Richard Jefferson refused, and the referee signaled Liu Xiu to add a penalty.

Careless!Richard Jefferson came to the side of the three-second zone and looked at the score. It was tied at 29, and Liu Xiu's 88% free throw percentage was really too careless just now... But, the classic way to go to the free throw line Why did the warden look at him and smile?

Liu Xiujia made a free throw, 30 to 29, and the Trail Blazers regained a 1-point lead!

The on-site director was very considerate. After Liu Xiu made a free throw, he gave a replay of Liu Xiu's supplementary buckle just now, and cheers and laughter rang out again at the scene.

This time, Richard Jefferson looked up and saw...

Seeing that shameful scene, he really wanted to find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

True - social death!
……

Liu Xiu got a reminder of the healing value +99, and then Richard Jefferson missed a three-pointer, and Liu Xiu got the healing value +99.

After Richard Jefferson missed a three-pointer and Liu Xiu, who grabbed a rebound, missed a three-pointer throughout the game, after the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led the Nets by 30 point 29-1 and entered the quarter rest!
One supplementary deduction got 38 healing value from McGrady, Richard Jefferson first got 62, and then two 99, this wave of healing value is very beautiful.

but!

With 16 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, McGrady's data in a single quarter put Liu Xiu under great pressure.

But he has to continue to maintain a light smile and become the one who helps his teammates bear the pressure.

The coaching staff of the Trail Blazers did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

Coach: "Lionel, T-Mac reminds me of that man."

Chief assistant: "Who? Jordan?"

"Correct."

"Really? I bought it. I played against Jordan twice in his rookie season. God, I retired after that year. I was teammates with Dameng. I thought Dameng was scary enough, but with Jordan When we played against each other, it felt like I was having a nightmare."

"You only played against rookie Jordan twice. I played against Jordan more than 30 times. I also played against Jordan in the 1991 playoffs..."

Hollins looked at the coach with sympathy. He played against Jordan in the 1991 playoffs... He remembered that the coach was the Knicks' starting point guard at that time, and the Knicks had the best perimeter defense.

Worse than bad defense!
However, they said it was a nightmare, and the two coaches still miss that time... Take back your attention, Maurice Cheeks and Hollins are all retired jersey-level bosses, what do superstars represent, they very clear.

Compared with the match at the beginning of the season, McGrady, who has partnered with Kidd for half a season and honed in a real top team, in the eyes of the Trail Blazers coach and chief assistant coach, this superstar has become a benchmark. The strength of the players.

The two celebrities once talked about their current benchmark players in private, and their opinions were surprisingly unanimous-Duncan, O'Neal, Iverson, and Kidd.

They thought that Liu Xiu had that talent, but this time they found that McGrady already has that ability. It is hard to say whether he can become a benchmark player. It only depends on ability. McGrady should already be the most capable outside player in the league.

However, strong personal strength does not mean that the team will definitely win.

On their side of the Trail Blazers, no one can do McGrady's personal ability, but!

There are so many of them!
Raheem scored 10 points in a single quarter. Although his strength was not as strong as McGrady's, he still managed to withstand McGrady's two waves of shock.

But to say that their best performance in the first quarter was Liu Xiu!

Kidd couldn't play, and the Nets' ability to defend without the ball on the wing seriously declined. Liu Xiu grasped this point, relied on the final counterattack 2+1, scored in double figures in a single quarter, scored 11 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist!
