Reboot McGrady

144 Chapter 145
Joe Johnson shook his head helplessly, he couldn't guard McGrady, even if it was double-teamed by two people, he still couldn't guard against it.

Just now, it was he who sent McGrady to the free throw line again, made two free throws and scored easily, ending the first half of the competition.

Only half of the game, Tracy McGrady has scored 18 points, and the scoring is easy to get. If he wants to score, he can use various methods to send the ball into the basket.

The Eagles lead the Celtics by 5 points, which are almost the same, but the Celtics seem weak. They are in foul trouble inside. Walker has fouled 3 times and Tony Batty has fouled 4 times.

If the Eagles continue to attack the inside, they will be more passive.

"Hey, their strategy is to use the referee's whistle." Pierce was very upset, "If there is no referee, we will definitely be able to tie the score."

Pierce played very hard. He also scored 15 points in the half, but he was out of breath. He used almost twice as many shots as McGrady, and his efficiency was very low.

"Guys, let's be bolder and use the CIC to hit them more." Coach O'Trien saw the problem.

The breakthrough abilities of Pierce and Joe Johnson are not top-notch, and cannot be compared with breakthrough masters like McGrady and Terry.Therefore, it is unwise to attack the opponent's inside line.

More importantly, the Eagles have Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace on the inside. Any attack on the basket will have to face two fierce men, and the success rate is not high.

"Everyone remember, pass the ball to me, and I will beat Tracy McGrady." Pierce took a deep breath and taught his teammates, "You don't have to play conservatively, the Eagles are not as strong as you think."

"Remember, the hit rate, what we need is high efficiency, show all your energy, be efficient, and beat the opponent!"

Paul Pierce said it with enthusiasm, which is what a locker room leader does.

On the other side, McGrady clapped his hands, "In the second half, continue this rhythm, control the rhythm, the victory belongs to us."

"I can't figure it out. When the tactics run out and there is no space, you must give the ball to Tracy!" Carlisle added.

Then he looked at Billups, "You performed well just now, and you look like a second-in-command. Remember, the most important thing for a point guard on the court is self-confidence. Believe in yourself and your teammates. I am optimistic about you."

Billups has grown a lot this season.Just like McGrady last season, he suddenly realized the profound martial arts.

Billups is more about the growth of self-confidence. His personal ability has not seen much growth, but his confidence is completely different.The three-point shooting rate has directly increased by 3 percentage points, and the shooting rate is close to 40%, which is very impressive.

"Tracey," Billups called out to Maddie, "I..."

"I know what you want to say. If you have a good opportunity, just shoot. I also agree with you to shoot at some special timing." McGrady smiled, "If you can't make it, there are our brothers inside, right?"

Speaking of these words, McGrady glanced at Big Ben, Rasheed, Laettner, Ewing, and even Battelle.The hearts of several people were warm and full of energy.

"Okay!" Billups took a deep breath, this series, he intends to use it as a break-in, and he wants to go further.

Looking at McGrady's back, he suddenly realized, "It turns out that McGrady's ambition is the championship. We are going for the championship, not just the Eastern Conference championship."

Billups stared wide-eyed and walked last.Director Lu pushed Billups, and also looked at McGrady, who came out of the stage and greeted cheers, "Tracey's charisma is unparalleled. From now on, we will follow him."

He added, "On the court, if you can't handle things, leave them to McGrady. He will definitely handle them."

Tyronn Lue has a feeling of refreshment, and this is how basketball games should be, giving the ball to the strongest player.He looked at the coach's bench. In the future, when I sit in that position, I must arrange tactics according to today's idea.

At the beginning of the second half, McGrady took the initiative to hold the ball and faced Pierce, "Look good, I will score on your head."

Pierce provoked again and again, McGrady intends to crush his confidence.In this series, although the Eagles have an advantage, it is not obvious. The Celtics are very balanced.

If Joe Johnson is more mature, he may become a key puzzle piece for the team.It's still a lot worse now.

"Hey, I'm not afraid of you." Pierce immediately launched a defensive posture. This time, will McGrady break through to the left or the right?How can I keep up with his first film?

Whoosh!
He saw that McGrady's waist and abdomen exerted a little strength, and the whole person rose into the air, bad!This is the legendary Ganba.

Pierce bounced off his feet, and stretched out his palm. It was too late, and after a half-beat slow, he couldn't stop it at all.Watching McGrady take a shot and seeing the ball fall into the net.

"It's a bit close, keep going." McGrady encouraged Pierce.

In the last round, Artest fought wits with him at the small forward position. This time, Pierce directly wanted the first small forward position, which was even more ambitious.

"damn it!"

Pierce took the initiative to ask for the ball and confronted McGrady one-on-one. Kenny Anderson dared not refuse to give it, even though he wanted to give the ball to Walker more.Walker is also asking for the ball, but the position is not good. Kenny ran a few steps before handing it to Pierce.

In this case, they should think that I have the right judgment, and I don't just give the ball to whoever is more aggressive, right?

Pierce singled McGrady, turned back, and confronted.After two years of strengthening, McGrady has not lost his strength. Even though he is not a strength player, his bench press strength and lower body strength are very strong.

"Not bad, keep working hard." McGrady continued to stimulate Pierce.

Pierce faced McGrady, forced to turn around, and faced the frame.I can't play with my back, it's uncomfortable, and I feel that the ball is easily poked away.

The pace changes, McGrady doesn't hesitate, he is faster, and can predict Pierce's ball-holding rhythm, "It's still a little bit worse, continue."

"I'll fight with you!" Pierce felt insulted and immediately shot a jumper.

Snapped!
McGrady jumped higher and more stretched than him, and Pierce's jumper was knocked down with a light touch of his long arm.

Everyone else is a jumper, McGrady is the one!
Billups catches the ball, sprints past Kenny Anderson, down, sprints like crazy, and he glances back out of the corner of his eye.In the face of Joe Johnson who retreated in place, there was no strong attack.

Passing the ball behind, Stephen Jackson caught the ball and slammed into the defender.boom!Powerful dunk.

Excited, Jackson bumped his chest with Billups.The Eagles have widened the point difference and reached double digits.

"Well done, Stephen." Billups imitated McGrady and encouraged his teammates.He felt that doing so would win over the players' minds.

O'Brien immediately adjusted his strategy and let the inside players play more.Pierce serves as an offensive hub, organizing the offense.Walker scored consecutively, and Rasheed was struggling to defend him.

"Damn it, did this fat man take drugs today?" Rasheed slammed the ball on the opponent and got a technical foul.

Carlisle frowned, this guy couldn't control his temper again.
