I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 144 The Omnipotent Nowitzki
In fact, since the late Van Gundy era, there has been an argument: McGrady is actually the most suitable candidate for the Rockets to be a point guard.

McGrady has obvious advantages in height and wingspan. If he plays PG, he is almost one of the highest altitudes in the league, which ensures that he can always be in an advantageous position against big and small.

His physical fitness is amazing, his skills are superb, and he has an extremely broad vision. Whether it is passing or breaking through, he makes it difficult for opposing players to guard against.

And he also has a good willingness to pass the ball. People often ignore his super threatening ability to pass the ball because of his two scoring champions.

In the past, the call for McGrady to play PG was mostly regarded as a deduction that would not become a reality.After all, McGrady has an unparalleled offensive talent and is recognized as one of the four major shooting guards in the league.Let him be distracted by the organization, isn't this an anti-aircraft gun to kill mosquitoes!

However, under the influence of injuries and unsystematic training, McGrady's state is fluctuating, and the threat to the basket has been greatly weakened compared with the peak.Perhaps in the position of the organization, his abilities and talents can be better utilized.

Sure enough, after McGrady played point guard, the effect was very good.

His vision is very wide, and he can pass through the scalpel-like pass that runs through more than ten meters.

Thanks to his distribution of the ball, the Rockets' inside and outside lines were reconnected.Yao Ming and Scola on the inside line and Ci Shiping and Barry on the outside line formed a joint force. Everyone is no longer alone. If the inside line cannot be beaten, McGrady will transfer to the outside line; And then to the inside line.

The constant shifting back and forth made the Mavericks dizzy and didn't know how to defend.

And McGrady's role is more than that. After the switch, facing the old Kidd, his speed and explosive power are still obviously superior. When one-on-one, he single-handedly hits the opponent, and Kidd can't guard him at all.

If other people come to help defend, he can pass the ball to his teammates in time to form an open shot.

Soon McGrady's technical statistics added 4 assists. McGrady in the second quarter was simply a replica of Kidd in the first quarter, no, an enhanced version!

Driven by him, the Rockets played a small climax of counterattack.

Although it is still impossible to completely limit the Mavericks' scoring on the outside, the score has been recovered.

The problem now is mainly inside.

Scola is not Nowitzki's opponent. When Nowitzki scored the 15th point of the game in the middle of the second quarter, Adelman's patience has reached the limit.

Unbearable, he replaced Scola and replaced Landry.

Landry's vitality and athletic ability are much stronger than Scola's, and he is also tougher than the Argentine diamond.

As soon as he came on the court, he tried his best to stick to Nuo Tian Wang, leaning close to Nuo Tian Wang's side, which made Nowitzki very uncomfortable.

The coaching staff of the Rockets suddenly brightened up. It seemed that the defense was effective, much stronger than Scola.

Sure enough, in the next two offenses of the Mavericks, Nowitzki missed the ball under Landry's strict defense.

But the third attack of the Mavericks suddenly changed its method. Kidd dribbled the ball, and Nowitzki suddenly pulled out a pick-and-roll. Kidd pretended to bypass Nowitzki, but Nowitzki suddenly slid down. Germany's ball immediately passed into the hands of Nowitzki.

Nowitzki threw off Landry by surprise for a layup.

The Rockets coaching staff comforted themselves: It's okay, it was just an accident!Landry's defense is still very good.

But scoring this time seems to have opened Pandora's box.

The next time the Mavericks attacked, Nowitzki pulled out again. Just when Landry was defending the opponent from entering the paint zone for the second time, Nowitzki directly received Kidd's pass from the outside and scored a three-pointer. Outside shot!
Hit the ball accurately!

The coaching staff of the Rockets all felt a little bit in their hearts, with a bad feeling.

On the third attack, Nowitzki retreated deeply, finally got rid of Landry, and received the ball again.

It was in a very far position again, raising his hand and about to shoot, Landry quickly galloped up and jumped up to block the shot.

But Nowitzki was just a feint, with a light touch, he entered the three-point line.

Yao Ming rushed over to help defend, but Nuo Tianwang made a jump shot independently before he was in place.

The mid-range shooting is as stable as an old dog, and it's going again!
Rockets coaching staff: Landry's defense is finished!

Soon, Landry was replaced, Hayes debut.

After all, Hayes is an old bird, and he has much more seasoned defensive experience. Although he sticks tightly, he doesn't rush too hard, so Nowitzki can't use fake moves to overtake him.

The coaching staff of the Rockets nodded one after another: Hayes' defense is still very solid, and he did a good job.

But in the next second, their expressions changed again.

On the court, although Hayes defended Nuo Tianwang's face, Nuo Tianwang was not afraid at all, and he jumped up and shot.

诺维斯基身高2米13，垂直弹跳86厘米，而海耶斯1米98，垂直弹跳74厘米！

Enough is not enough!

Of course, it cannot be said that it has no effect at all. Anyone who has something dangling in front of his face when he shoots the ball will not be too comfortable.

The hit rate of the German tanks has been somewhat affected, and the hit rate has dropped from about 80% to more than 70%.
However, compared with this, it seems that the Rockets' offense has been more affected!
Hayes has no offensive ability at all, let alone actively playing low post, even if the ball is passed to him and he is asked to shoot at the basket, he may not be able to score the ball!
When the Mavericks were defending, Nowitzki completely ignored Hayes and went with Dampier to flank Yao Ming.

Dayao had hardly rested in the first two quarters, his physical fitness had dropped drastically, and now he was double-teamed, the offensive effect was greatly reduced!
Dayao also tried to pass the ball to Hayes who was open, but on the one hand, it was not easy to pass the ball under the attack of the two. Can't get the ball into the basket.

After Hayes' dunk attempt was ruthlessly rejected by the bottom edge of the basket again, the inside assistant coach Sigma couldn't stand it anymore, and said to coach Adelman: "If it doesn't work, just replace it first!"

"Who will replace it?"

"Or let Joey try it!"

"he?"

Adelman set his sights on Dorsey.

Dorsey was also watching Adelman's every move. When he saw the coach looking at him, he immediately raised his head and sat up straight, looking as if he was ready to take off at any time.

Adelman sighed, the current situation can only be treated as a dead horse.

"Hey, let him play and try!"

In this way, at 10 minutes and 15 seconds into the second quarter, Dorsey got the chance to play.

Dorsey is very excited, this is a big improvement!I was given a 2-minute chance in the first half. You know, in the last regular season, I only got the chance in the last 2 minutes!
Huge improvement! ! !
Don't forget the well digger when you drink water, and Dorsey is very grateful to Nowitzki.

If the German chariot hadn't shown its might and killed the Rockets inside players one after another, I didn't know that I would have to wait until the year of the monkey to play!
Excited, he walked to Nowitzki's side as soon as he came out, and gave Nowitzki a hug when he came up.

"Thank you, Dirk!"

Nowitzki was dumbfounded. Before he could push Dorsey away, Dorsey had let go of his embrace.

"However, thank you, thank you, I won't release water!"

At this moment, the arena was very quiet.

The Rockets stopped attacking, the Mavericks stopped defending, and the referee forgot to whistle.

Everyone on the Rockets' bench was stunned, thinking, this kid is sick again!
The audience also talked a lot after a short period of ignorance, and the stands were full of noise.

Dorsey couldn't hear what the audience was talking about, but suddenly he found that the audience evaluation in the system had changed.

From the initial C-level to B-level!
Huh?
Does a hug make the audience feel good about me?
Or, what are you misunderstanding?
