Reboot McGrady

Chapter 169 A Footnote to Victory

9 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists.In the first half, McGrady almost completed a mini triple-double.O'Neal and Kobe, both scored 31 points, which is amazing.

But today, Rasheed and Billups of the Hawks broke out at the same time, blasting Horry and Fisher respectively, and their scores climbed to 15 and 14 points, which is only halftime scoring.

"That's it, guys, our performance is very good!" Carlisle was very excited, he really felt the strength of the players.

Billups and Rasheed are definitely a championship platter.It is a rare quality to be able to carry the banner of offense in key games.

Although Rashid was a little tired, he grinned and finally felt that he was worthy of his salary.If the team can win, he is one of the main players today.

Billups is gradually full of confidence, and he seems to have a better grasp of his personal rhythm in the game, "It turns out that taking responsibility will not overwhelm me. McGrady is drawing the opponent's attention. My side and Larry Sid's scoring pressure is reduced a lot."

McGrady stood up, "Guys, what the coach said just now is correct. Everyone has shown a great state. The game is not over yet, and the Lakers will definitely counterattack. Do you agree?"

"disagree!"

"What are we going to do?" McGrady shouted again, mobilizing everyone's energy.He needs this strength, which is confidence, the confidence of the team.

If this game is won, at least the team's confidence will not collapse in the next game, and they can continue to entangle with the Lakers.

Big Ben, Rasheed, Jackson, Billups, everyone is full of combat effectiveness, Terry and Turkoglu are full of energy, Ewing and Laettner, the two veterans looked at each other, full of passion.

AC Green was "rehired" back to the team, with his arms around Battelle and Tyronn Lue, "See? This is the cohesion of the team. Follow McGrady and we will succeed. What is our role?"

He looked at a few people on the fringe, "It is to play a role after playing, even if the role is very small, but we are a team, and we need to do something for this team."

Battelle nodded, as if he understood something.Tyronn Lu's eyes lit up, as if he had realized the essence again.

In the second half, the OK combination suddenly stepped up their attack. Their rhythm was very simple, using the invincible OK combination to sweep away all enemies.

The strongest inside and outside line duo in history is no joke.O'Neal crushed Ben Wallace and dunked twice in an attempt to destroy Ben's self-confidence.

Unexpectedly, Big Ben sneered and satirized O'Neal, "You can do nothing but dunk, and you have the ability to fight against me!"

After McGrady hit a three-pointer, he finally raised his personal score to more than 10 points, and assisted Billups to score a three-pointer.

Two three-pointers, 6 points, more points than O'Neal's two dunks, and the lead reached 9 points, which is a bit subtle.

Kobe immediately responded with a score. Jackson is really not Kobe's opponent. Even if Billups helps defend, he still can't keep up.Rashid missed the offense, followed by Kobe assisting Fisher with a three-pointer.

Finally the score was close again.

Rasheed found that the man who defended him became Samaki Walker, a guy with a lot of energy, and it was hard for him to put his huge knee on his hip every time.The confrontation in several attacks made Rashid unbearable.

However, Carlisle also responded immediately, replacing Big Ben and Rasheed at the same time, and Ewing and Laettner both appeared on the field.

Ewing only needs to defend for one or two rounds, exhausting O'Neal's physical energy.It is impossible to expect Ewing to limit O'Neal.Moreover, Ewing's character is not a very tough one. He looks scary, but he is actually quite good-tempered.

Laettner used the mid-range shot, received a pass from Jackson, and scored.McGrady offered to give him a high five, "Good job, man!"

Facing the more flexible Leitner, Samaki-Walker immediately lost his advantage in tonnage, which was a bit uncomfortable.He could have acted as O'Neill's substitute, but now he can only stare blankly.

Carlisle reacted quite quickly!It seems that he made a careful plan for today's game.The fans in the audience were screaming crazily, they saw the team's hope of winning.

O'Neal missed the board during the offense, and Ewing created a beautiful defense.

McGrady followed up and grabbed the rebound. Rasheed and Ben were not on the court, and the task of grabbing rebounds fell to McGrady.His bullet speed and anticipation ability are stronger than McGrady in the previous life, and his average rebounds per game have also increased a lot.

"Chauncey!" Billups sprinted wildly. Just after halftime, facing Kobe, he suddenly gritted his teeth, sprinted, and slammed to the inside.

Kobe was not reconciled to being broken by Billups, and followed closely. Fisher, who was next to him, saw Kobe's state, and as expected, he cut off Billups' fast break.

Ah... Billups immediately made a layup and made two free throws.

Can't help panting, facing the double-team alone, Billups can't bear it anymore, the pressure is huge, and he makes free throws.

"Bang!" The first free throw was missed.McGrady gave him a high five, indicating not to worry.

Carlisle immediately substituted, Ewing and Laettner off, while Jackson also off, replaced by Turkoglu.

Turkoglu can also organize the offense, with one more organization point, McGrady can score calmly.

It wasn't until Carlisle arrived in the finals that he discovered the diversity of the Eagles' players. No matter what opponent they faced, they seemed to have cards that could contain the opponent.

Stotts and Thibodeau were very nervous. They both entered the finals with the team for the first time, and they constantly analyzed their opponents with Carlisle.It was released today, and the effect is not bad.

After O'Neal grabbed the rebound, he passed it to Kobe, and Kobe faced McGrady's defense.Unreasonable shooting can almost enter the top ten performances.

The ball bounced on the basket several times in a row, and the ball went in!

Pulling the score back to within 10 points again, with only 8 points difference, the Lakers still have a lot of opportunities.

Billups sprinted again and gave Rasheed a strong inside shot.Attracting the defense, Kobe was attracted to the past. He hoped to use the defense to help Horry reduce the defensive pressure.

McGrady received a pass from Rasheed and jumped up suddenly!

Dry pull!Kobe rushed forward and almost flew onto McGrady, "Don't even try to score!"

Whoosh!
The ball is released, with a soft touch, and the ball goes straight into the net.The point difference stabilized again, and the Eagles once again controlled the dominance of the game.

By the end of the third quarter, the Hawks still had an 11-point lead. In this quarter, McGrady scored 11 points and raised the score to 20 points. He also had 10 rebounds, 9 assists, and 2 blocks. and 3 steals.

Nearly perfect performance.McGrady didn't care, "Guys, your performance is so good, the cheers from the fans are for you, but the statistics are only meaningful if you win the game."

"Lace Dog!" Billups yelled, eager to win.He has already scored 18 points and 8 assists. If he uses another victory as a footnote, he will be the team's qualified second leader.

Rasheed and Ben put on headbands, "Beat LA!"
