Reboot McGrady

163 Chapter 164 Do you want to win?

In the first game of the finals, the Lakers played against the Eagles.

A little unnoticed, the Lakers fell behind by 8 points.As soon as the first quarter started, the Eagles defended with all their strength, obviously with enough energy, the Lakers failed to attack several times, McGrady scored consecutively, and played a high explosion in an instant.

11:3.An interesting scoreline with the Lakers trailing at home.It was just now that Kobe made a strong three-pointer against Stephen Jackson's defense to break the scoring puzzle.

"Guys, give me the ball, I'll take care of them." During the timeout of the advertisement, Kobe shouted at the others, speaking sternly, after all, he was the only player on the Lakers to score.

In the opening 4 minutes, the Eagles took the lead.However, Carlisle didn't have the slightest sense of leading, but was more cautious, "The Lakers will definitely counterattack, and their strong attack inside will only be stronger! Ben, your test is coming."

Sure enough, after the re-opening, O'Neal took the big money by force, directly dunked, and played the opening dance of the game.

He swayed, his figure gradually rounded, and he yelled at Big Ben, "Dude, see? This is the beginning of my show!"

Confident, domineering, like a shark.

McGrady didn't hold the ball, he ran around and cooperated with his teammates. Rashid used McGrady's pick-and-roll cooperation to make a successful mid-range shot without giving the opponent too much suspense.

Looking back, Kobe took the initiative to ask for the ball. Fisher looked at it for a while, pretending not to see Kobe's gesture, passed it out, hit the ground and passed the ball, and it fell into Olney's hands.

At this time, McGrady interfered again, and O'Neal had already adjusted and dribbled the ball lower, but Ben was not a vegetarian, and he didn't give him much room to advance.

Still unable to dunk comfortably, even the footsteps of the small hook were not easy to display. He chose to pass the ball again, and Kobe ran out of the open space, but he didn't give it to Robert Horry, who was fighting with Rasheed.

Horry immediately transferred the ball to Kobe.

McGrady immediately followed up. Kobe ran out of space for the mid-range shot and sprinted inside. O'Neal pulled away in time.

Kobe was almost carrying Jackson on the dunk, but he missed the dunk. O'Neal pressed Big Ben to grab the rebound and made a tip-up.

"boom!"

Full of strength, the basket kept shaking, "Oh... I am a big shark!"

Ben Wallace gritted his teeth, depressed and very unhappy.Playing aggrieved today, O'Neal's height, strength, skills, and even physical flexibility are better than Big Ben's, making it impossible for the best defensive player of the season to play.

"Ben was defeated by O'Neal today. O'Neal is still the big shark. He was bloodthirsty when it came to the playoffs. It was terrible." The commentator Mike Breen praised, "Of course, compared with last season, Kobe , has matured a lot, and he understands the meaning of the team more and more."

"However, from today to now, there seems to be no direct pass between the OK group. Is there something wrong between them?" The host Doris Burke keenly found the problem and put forward her own opinion.

During the interview before the game, Phil Jackson specifically clarified this issue, but it seemed to be covering up.

On the court, there were several good opportunities just now. If O'Neal and Kobe cooperated, they would probably develop into scoring opportunities. Unfortunately, they did not, so the score is still behind.

Big Ben was forced by O'Neal, and McGrady asked for the ball when he turned around. Kobe immediately posted it, suppressing his emotions.

"Are you sure you want to guard me? I'm going to have a one-on-one match with the boss of the Lakers." McGrady grabbed the ball with one hand and stood alone like Yuan Tingyue.

Kobe slowly bent his knees, fighting fiercely, "I am the boss, come here, let's fight one-on-one!"

"Pull away!" Kobe shouted for McGrady.The Eagles players moved quickly to give up their position on the court, leaving the two superstars to fight one-on-one.

The camera immediately focused on the two, and what thousands of fans had been waiting for finally happened. Tracy McGrady and Kobe were singled out. Is it the new scoring champion who is more capable, or the first-level OK combination is more vigorous.

Kobe these days hasn't called himself the Black Mamba yet!
McGrady looked to Kobe's left side, dribbled the ball, was not fast, and poked around. Kobe didn't hesitate and kept a good distance.

Sure enough, Kobe's contribution on the defensive end is very high.McGrady saw Kobe's changes, and his rhythm also changed accordingly. He directly turned the emptiness into reality, stepped on the ground, and then took a step to cooperate with the dribbling movement.

Bryant is proficient in bow and horse, and Kobe followed suit without losing his focus.He could tell that McGrady was going to dunk for sure, but he just didn't want McGrady to dunk.

The tacit understanding between the two, before McGrady ends the attack, he will try his best to interfere and disrupt McGrady's rhythm.

Sudden back hit!
Leaning back, Kobe immediately leaned against his body, and McGrady used the inside footsteps to feint twice in a row.After all, Kobe is an outside defensive player, and he was cheated by McGrady.

"What a coquettish move!" Kobe felt for a moment in his heart.

Then I saw McGrady rushing from his side, and he couldn't prevent it anymore. If he pulled, it would be a foul.McGrady looked at O'Neal's position, worried that the big man would block him.

McGrady has no room to adjust his actions. In the confrontation with Kobe, both of them gave their best.

Fortunately, O'Neal cherishes feathers, and he also wants to see Kobe deflated.One was blocked by McGrady in the opening game, and now he is singled out again.Continuously humiliated, it depends on what you do!
boom!
McGrady dunked with one hand, adjusted slightly, and landed.Put down the bounced basketball after the dunk on the sidelines, and slowly return to the half court.

"Brother, do you think I should provoke O'Neill?"

When Kobe heard this, he almost exploded, "I said, your opponent today is me."

"Okay, I'll wait for your performance!" Maddie nodded solemnly, like a promise between brothers.

Phil Jackson sat on the sidelines, motionless, like an old monk in meditation. Kobe had already been led by McGrady, and his emotions were so loud that it was difficult to listen to other words.

"Clang~!"

Kobe forced the shot and hit the iron.

Billups greeted Fisher, the color.Beautiful shooting action, and the offensive rebound from Big Ben.

At the end of the first quarter, the Eagles even opened the score to 13 points.The Lakers only scored 12 points in the first quarter, while the Hawks played relatively normally, scoring 25 points, of which McGrady scored 13 points.

McGrady scored more points than the entire Lakers team. This is not the normal rhythm of the game.

"Oh, the first quarter was really surprising. McGrady got 13 players, surpassing the Lakers. I think the OK team met their opponent today." Doris Burke talked eloquently. She looked at McGrady , the more I look at it, the more I like it.

"Yes, I thought of Allen Iverson last year. In the first finals, Iverson scored 41 points and defeated the Lakers. Today seems to be repeating the game of last season!" Mike Breen analyzed, "However, the overall strength of the Eagles should be higher than that of the 76ers last season."

In the Lakers locker room, Phil Jackson was very quiet, everyone else was very quiet, and then Jackson spit out a sentence, "Do you want to win?"
