Reboot McGrady

16 Chapter 016

Before this game, the Heat had won two consecutive victories. The 76ers have won three consecutive victories, and there must always be a team that wants to stop the winning streak.

Wachovia Center Court, there are two big numbers in the middle of the court, which are 7 and 6 back to back.

Bright lights.

After the warm-up, the lights dimmed and the players came out one by one.

Here, Iverson is the biggest star and the pride of the 76ers. All the cheers are for him.

Iverson entered the field, his height is estimated to be less than 183, but his body is full of tattoos, even in training clothes, he is full of momentum.

Unruly, with a wild breath.Wearing a red headband on his head, he walked to the middle of the court full of style, with his palms next to his ears, and the [-] spectators shouted in unison, almost crazy.

He enjoyed the feeling of being a lone hero in the spotlight.

Listen to the voice, this is one of Iverson's signature moves.

To greet the away players, there were only boos all over the field.Eddie House was a little trembling, such an away game was indeed a bit scary.

McGrady's eyes were hazy, as if he hadn't woken up, and everything outside him seemed to have no effect on him.

"Boss, I'm a little nervous, look at my legs." Eddie House is just a rookie, and he hasn't recovered yet.

"What legs are you looking at? Do you have three legs? If you don't have three legs, you will be fouled on the field. After the foul, you will be fine." McGrady didn't think so, and taught him how to do it.

It is the tension brought up by the atmosphere.In fact, McGrady was like this when he was young, but after a lot of experience, he got better.

He looked at Iverson, and he was indeed a bit of a leader. He stood proudly aside and didn't bother to listen to Larry Brown. Anyway, when he played, his main function was to be the sharpest knife, piercing the opponent and driving the team.

Uncle Mutong listened very carefully. The opponent he faced today was also a strong defensive player, Ben Wallace.

"George Lynch, Raja Bell, the two of you will share the game time today. There is only one task, which is to pinch McGrady's score. Remember?"

A well-known coach who pays attention to defense will definitely make the most arrangements for McGrady.The ability he demonstrated in the previous two games seems to be the Heat's scoring leader.

Raja Bell's situation has also changed, joining the Philadelphia 76ers a few months early and emerging on the defensive end.

"If he appears at the shooting guard position, I will break through him." Iverson disapproves, full of confidence.

He was the No. 96 pick in 97, a representative of the golden generation.McGrady was the No. 9 pick in [-], and Iverson has become famous and led the team to become an American idol. Compared with the two, the degree of attention they received is completely different.

McGrady hopes that Tim Hardaway will take more responsibility, just like the last game.Restricting Iverson is enough.But his own body and back are still huge hidden dangers, and he dare not overuse, and it is back-to-back games, which increases the risk of injury.

"In contrast, my team has a stronger ability to score inside, and it is more secure to focus on the inside." Pat Riley took a step forward and prepared to tear the hole from the inside, "Tracey, your task is to conduct the ball more. ...they definitely limit your scoring."

McGrady nodded, but did not speak.

For the opening jump ball, Daben was no match for Uncle Mutong.

The ball was caught by Iverson. He suddenly picked up speed, ran all the way, and made a layup before the Heat players were completely in position.

Nice offense.It can be seen that Iverson has made [-]% preparations.

The starting players for the Heat, Big Ben and Mason partnered inside, Tracy McGrady as the hub, Bowen and Tim Hardaway partnered in the backcourt, they didn't look tough.

The 76ers have a stronger star flavor. Uncle Mutong and Aaron McGee partnered inside. Both of them were All-Star players, and Uncle Mutong still is.George Lynch's small forward mainly defended McGrady, Iverson appeared at the shooting guard position, and Eric Snow served as the point guard and was also a defensive champion.

Tim Hardaway passes to Mason who comes out of the pick-and-roll, then drives around him, catches the ball, and lays up immediately.

"Snapped!"

The cask bob pops out and gives a solid closure.

After the block, Dikembe Mutombo wiggled his fingers... like an old pine tree swaying.

Iverson has quick eyes and quick hands, and immediately grabbed the ball, but McGrady was not slow to react, blocking in front of him, and returning to the defense.

Iverson had no room for a fast break and fell into position.

Tim faced Iverson, and the two crossover masters faced off.

Iverson suddenly accelerated, shaking continuously, and the butterfly pierced through the flowers. After all, Tim was too old to defend.But Iverson still chose to give players in a better position, and Aaron McGee succeeded in the blue under the cover of Mu Tunbo.

At the beginning of the game, the 76ers played aggressively.

Looking back, McGrady controlled the ball and held it with one hand, and Lynch followed to defend from the three-point line.

McGrady gave a little signal, and Bowen put up the pick-and-roll.Then following McGrady's actions, he went down the trend.

At this time, Lynch also followed to help defend. The 76ers' defense against McGrady has quietly raised a level.At the beginning, I wanted to hold down McGrady.

Back let Lynch greet quietly.McGrady did not choose to continue to break through. After attracting the defense, the ball slipped past his back.It fell into the hands of Bowen at the bottom line.

Uncle Bao is still a relatively stable scoring point, and the open three-pointer is accurate.

Swish!
Break the duck eggs.

Mason jumped up and protected the ball to the ground.His reflexes are still sharp.

The two sides entered a state of anxiety, and McGrady led the team's offense more through the conduction of the ball.

Mason also got a chance quickly and made a successful mid-range shot.The score bit the 76ers and did not pull away.

However, the scores of the two teams were not high. At the end of the first quarter, both teams scored less than 18 points.

McGrady made a successful mid-range shot and Lynch re-teamed.Iverson let the ball roll slowly in his own half, with an 8-second rule in the half.Iverson didn't touch the ball, so the time didn't count.

This is a common habit of Iverson. He calmly arranges his headbands, and no one comes to fight, otherwise he will face the opponent's habit of playing more and less. Who can keep up with Iverson?

Tim has been waiting in his own half for a long time, and he knows Iverson's habits.

The ball rolled to the halftime, before Iverson took the ball and controlled it by himself.At this time, 24 seconds start to count, and almost all of them develop in the opponent's half.

Seeing Iverson pass halftime, Tim slowly marked the past.There has been a distance of half a step.

However, it's useless, Iverson keeps dribbling the ball with both hands under his crotch, and both of them know each other's routines, but they are young and fast, and you just can't guard against them.

Bowen went up to help defend, and the defense switched.Faster than passing the ball.The ball kept running in the hands of the 76ers, and it had reached the basket, and Mutombo made a layup.

Riley frowned, today's game is not easy to play. The degree of running-in of the 76ers, that is, the chemical reaction, is obviously better than that of the Heat.

Hardaway stopped organizing the offense and handed it directly to McGrady to let him control the ball. "I'm not giving in. This is the coach's arrangement. I'll give Riley face." Hardaway said to himself in his heart.

McGrady put on a three-threat pose and made a breakthrough.Bell stepped back.Immediately gave McGrady enough space.

Pull up, shoot, succeed, all in one go.

The score was close again.On the Heat's side, the three-point shooting rate is relatively high, so the score was not opened.

At the end of halftime, the home and away teams scored 47 and 45 points respectively, but every goal was almost skillfully coordinated, and the fans did not find it ugly.

Larry Brown is also frowning, he can't let McGrady shoot, and he can't let him pass the ball to drive the team.

"Change the strategy and let McGrady break through. Fight consumption."
