Reboot McGrady

Chapter 10 010 Hill performed better
On the first game day, there was no Heat game.

By November 11, the Heat ushered in the first game of the new season.At home against the Orlando Magic.

Because of Mourning's kidney disease.The confrontation between McGrady and Hill has become the biggest concern.

The two players who were expected to join forces in the summer became opponents.

At the American Airlines Stadium, 19600 spectators have already entered the stadium, and the atmosphere is warm.

During the warm-up before the game, Hill also took the initiative to shake hands with McGrady, "It's a pity that I didn't become a teammate, but I will do my best."

"I will prove myself here." McGrady responded with a smile.

The starting players of both sides, the Heat, Tim Hardaway gave up the rest time, played non-stop, and started the point guard; in the scoring position, it was Tracy McGrady; Bowen was the starting small forward, and today's main task was to defend Hill.

For the power forward position, Riley chose Mason, who is older and more capable of scoring; the center position is Ben Wallace.

There are not many cards that the Magic can show, and the poor operation in the summer made them miss many outstanding role players.

Point guard Armstrong, shooting guard Grant Hill, Jordan's successor; the small forward chose Mike Miller, the No. Tough, averaging more than 5 points per game.

At the center position, they mistakenly let Daben go, and only Andrew De Klerk is available, but his scoring ability is higher than Daben's. Since last season, he has averaged about 10 points per game.

Jump ball in the middle circle.

Two 208cm centers are standing face to face, and it feels like the center of the court is sunken.

Snapped!Big Ben missed the ball, and the ball was touched by Andrew and fell into Armstrong's hands.

The Magic attacked first and landed.The ball was quickly transferred to Hill.Bowen is always with him.

Hill has long been used to this kind of defense, and he is not in a hurry, dribbling the ball slowly, looking for a point of exit.No one is open.

Waving, Osella Harnington came up to cooperate and blocked the defender.Hill started quickly, Bowen was stuck, and Mason behind him decisively defended.

Hill continues to move laterally, and Tim Hardaway's attention is drawn to him.He saw the timing and passed the ball quietly.

Armstrong stepped inside the three-point line, took off, and shot.

Whoosh!It feels good in the hand, and the first attack is successful.

Tim Hardaway faced Armstrong, skillfully dribbled the ball under the crotch, advanced to get rid of it, but failed.

The ball was transferred and fell into Mason's hands. Mason did not choose to shoot, and continued to transfer it to McGrady.In his heart, McGrady has become the new leader of the team.

During this period of training, McGrady taught everyone a lesson several times.Whoever refuses to accept, single-handedly fight, single-handedly fight until convinced.

McGrady is still outside the left three-point line, holding the ball with one hand.Observe the situation on the field.

With a change in his eyes, Daben understood, moved to the right, and took Andrew away.Mason came up immediately, pick and roll.

He has a shot and the pick-and-roll is much better than anyone else.

It was Mike Miller who defended McGrady. According to the development of the original time and space, the relationship between the two was very good.

"You should be a pitcher, not a defender." McGrady took the first step before he finished speaking.

Mike Miller couldn't react in time, slid sideways, hit Mason, and couldn't continue to defend.At this time, Harnington's defense is also in place.

Armstrong comes over to help and grabs the ball.It didn't work out.McGrady suddenly accelerated, squeezed through the gap between the two, stepped into the paint, took off, and flew.

Like a god descending to earth, the incomparably wonderful one-handed snap button.

boom!
The body is stretched, full of strength, and very beautiful.

In the first game after joining the Heat, the first point of the new season was scored by McGrady.

"Okay, that's it." Riley's mood suddenly improved a lot, and McGrady's condition was quite good.

Hill counterattacked with the ball, and explained to Andrew, who was behind, "When defending, let go of Wallace, he has no offensive ability."

Andrew nodded.I'm a little confused, do I have the ability to attack?You overestimate me.He can't wait for the team to quickly buy Ewing back. It's not good to just say nothing.

For the next few offenses, Hill opened up the situation for the Magic.On the other hand, McGrady is a lot easier.

After the first wave of offense, he basically focused on organizing the team.Bring others into the game.

Tim Hardaway received a pass from him and scored a 3-pointer from the outside.Mason also followed into a mid-range shot.

Even Bowen scored 3 points.

During the substitution in the first quarter, 5 of the 4 people on the Magic field opened their scoring accounts. McGrady scored 5 points, including a free throw.

However, the Heat's bench is not as strong as the main force. Under the Magic's main lineup, the point difference was still recovered.

At the end of the first quarter, the Heat only led by 17 point at 16:1.For the Magic, Hill scored 10 points, shining the audience.

Hill played the whole court, gasping for breath, a little tired.

McGrady is hale and hearty and appears relaxed.Five points in a quarter is fine, and after a game, almost 5 points are accounted for, which is already the performance of a first-class player.

Pat Riley looked relaxed.There is no need to call a timeout. The Magic's offensive threat is not great, and it is impossible for the main force to play the whole game. "Continue to maintain this performance and give more balls to McGrady."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Tim Hardaway.Hardaway had his head bowed with a hot towel wrapped around his head.

In the second quarter of the game, it was still the starting five.

At the beginning, McGrady showed off his extraordinary wingspan, blocking Hill's attack and allowing him to transfer the ball.Big Ben came down with a big hat and restrained Andrew.

Tim Hardaway quickly counterattacked, McGrady followed behind.He dives in and makes a layup.

Hill, who was following behind, covered him tightly and hit the backboard directly.

McGrady grabbed the rebound, did not seek credit, and moved quickly, and Big Ben caught up.A powerful two-handed dunk.

Finally scored, the Heat's latest opening player.

After Big Ben dunked, he immediately bumped his chest with McGrady, and his emotions were high.

"That's it, I feel like I can guard everyone."

Less than halftime, Big Ben has already grabbed 8 rebounds. Today's combination with Mason exploded the Magic's inside line.Mason scored and defended two openings and performed very well.

Hill carried very hard, his score has reached 16 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.

Proper superstar performance.

In contrast, McGrady is much more comfortable. Although he scored only 10 points, he had 2 more assists, 5 assists, and 2 rebounds, which was quite easy.

"My teammates are strong, and my pressure is much less." McGrady secretly rejoiced, but luckily he didn't go to the Magic.

Even without Mourning, the Heat still have considerable strength.

"It can be seen that the Magic is very difficult to score every time. In comparison, the Heat's team is better." Stephen Cole, a guest commentator, commented on the game accurately, "But today, Hill fully demonstrated the superstar No one can surpass his brilliance."

"McGrady's performance is also unexpected." Albert praised McGrady and looked at Cole. "If he goes to the Spurs team you were in before, can he book the championship?"

"This is very difficult, McGrady is not a top player." Cole is relentless, and seems to be not particularly optimistic about McGrady.

Cole is now at home and has not been able to negotiate a new contract.In the new season, he may also sign with the Trail Blazers or return to the Spurs.
