Reboot McGrady

Chapter 264 Showdown
McGrady grabbed the chalk, jumped onto the technical stage again, and amidst the cheers of the crowd, threw out the shape of an eagle hitting the sky.

Facing the fans, with his back to the court, McGrady's body is extremely tall. Under everyone's gaze, he slowly walked into the center of the court.

With a loud shout, "Guys, show your energy!"

Hearing this sentence, the starting players of the Eagles clenched their fists. They knew that this was a death order from the boss, and everyone had to put in 120% effort.

Kobe Bryant was envious of watching Kobe Bryant.This is the boss of the team, everyone is convinced.

For the Lakers, Phil Jackson still arranges the previous starters, which is also the strongest lineup of the Lakers.

The combination of O'Neal, Karl Malone, Rick Fox, Kobe Bryant and Gary Payton is a rare lineup of the Four Hall of Fame.

On the bench, they also have Horry and Fisher, and the others are basically soy sauce roles, because the salary space needs to be controlled.

"If I don't win the championship this year, I will resign." Phil Jackson sat calmly on the sidelines.When he saw the Eagles starting, he still frowned.

Deliberate, definitely a deliberate arrangement.

For the Eagles, Tracy McGrady leads the way. There is no doubt that he is the Eagles' biggest advantage on the field.

The backcourt duo is still Chauncey Billups and Stephen Jackson. Jackson is already rubbing his fists, and he wants to have a good talk with Kobe.

If they can limit Kobe's performance, they will win half of this game.After all, the opponent's starting point guard is Gary Payton, and it is difficult for Billups to support himself.Stephen has to come up with better performances.

The inside duo turned out to be the "Double Wallace" combination of Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace, the Hamburg combination.

Yao Ming sat on the sidelines, quietly waiting for the opportunity, with no unwillingness or conflict on his face.

With such a starting lineup, Huaxia fans were not happy at first, "Carlisle is like a pig, he actually left Yao Ming on the bench."

"If the game is lost, it must be Carlisle's problem."

In the CCTV live broadcast room, Yang Yi and Xu Jicheng were very unhappy. They saw Yao Ming sitting on the bench, so they had to excuse Yao Ming.

"Carlisle's idea should be to use Yao Ming's role on the offensive end to play a time difference with O'Neal's playing time. After all, whether Yao Ming is facing Mark Madsen or Robert Horry, he has enough advantages on the offensive end. .”

"It should be like this. In other words, Yao Ming may become the winner of the game between the Eagles and the Lakers. The Lakers really have no players who can limit Yao Ming on the bench. Let O'Neal play the whole game, not A very good idea."

O'Neal's weight and running are very energy-consuming, and the inside attack is especially energy-consuming. He cannot play the whole game.

Phil Jackson also realized the Eagles' inside advantage. He thought that if Yao Ming started, he would use his outside breakthrough ability to draw fouls, but he didn't expect Yao Ming to sit directly on the bench.

This is not easy to deal with.

Big Ben and O'Neal standing in the middle of the court, jumping the ball.O'Neal was in good form, and he took the ball away and it fell into the hands of Gary Payton.

Billups quickly followed, entangled with Payton outside the three-point line.Payton is very good at protecting the ball, and Billups failed to take advantage of it, watching the opponent hoist the basketball into the paint.

O'Neal caught the ball, raised his huge hips, and arched Ben with his back.Take a look and insert it.

Da Ben was struggling, and let out a dull roar, "Damn!"

O'Neal suddenly turned around, violently dunked and scored the opening score.After scoring, O'Neal smiled, "How is it? Big Ben, I'm still so strong. You can't stop me."

"I'll block you." Ben Wallace took a deep breath and rushed forward.

Billups was almost intercepted by Payton and quickly passed the ball. Stephen Jackson caught the ball in action and immediately cooperated with Big Ben's pick-and-roll.

Big Ben inexplicably caught the ball near the free throw line, and O'Neal quickly released him to guard the basket.

"Ben has no shooting ability, and his short-range shots have been completely missed." Yang Yi snickered, "Look, Ben can only pass the ball."

Sure enough, Big Ben pushed the basketball forward and it fell into McGrady's hands.McGrady finally got rid of Kobe's entanglement, and made room for shooting with a beautiful back run.

"Shh!"

Immediately shot, without the slightest doubt.Pull-up three-pointers, beautiful hands, silky smooth.It's like stroking Nazha's long dress.

"Beautiful, McGrady's pull-up opened up the space at once. McGrady is in a good state!" Xu Jicheng shouted, "When McGrady opens this point, the Lakers' defense will be difficult. They mainly arranged for Kobe to defend McGrady. If Kobe will Too much energy, on defense, will definitely affect his offensive state."

"It's like this. As long as McGrady opens up, the strength of the Eagles is guaranteed."

The fans were cheering, and they pulled out at the beginning, which showed that McGrady really wanted to win the game.

Kobe immediately followed, "Good guy, did you want to show me off at the beginning? Did you hear that you gave Malone a VIP card from the Gold Club?"

Kobe controls the basketball and makes eye contact with Tracy McGrady.Medica was at the front, "Is this the time of the All-Stars before? He likes this."

"Hmph, I hope you don't have soft feet." Kobe instinctively thought that McGrady was also a frequent visitor, so he was a little uncomfortable.He also wanted to indulge like this, but unfortunately, his strength did not allow it.

Pass the ball to Rick Fox, Fox faces Stephen Jackson, try singles, if he can't succeed, then give it to O'Neal.

O'Neill confronted Big Ben again, "Oh, you're tougher!"

"Don't try to eat me. Damn!" Big Ben pressed on against O'Neal with all his strength. He was crushed unbearably. O'Neal had a huge figure and was full of strength.

"boom!"

O'Neill once again ate the big ben raw, and his back was a little uncomfortable. He had already felt a little bit about carrying the big ben hard twice in a row.The pace slowed down a bit.

On the Hawks' side, the tempo didn't speed up either, with offense and defense at halftime.For McGrady, McGrady held the ball with one hand and suddenly sent it to the penalty area. Rashid caught the ball on the go.

It's a pity that he was facing Malone and couldn't carry it over. Then he gave Stephen Jackson in the corner. Jackson faced Fox and immediately broke through with the ball.The action is a bit of McGrady's style.

"Haha, Stephen Jackson is called McGrady, which is really interesting." Xu Jicheng looked at Jackson, "Hey, he passed the ball very fast."

Sure enough, Stephen Jackson attracted Malone's attention, and suddenly there was no room for a breakthrough. When he gave it out, McGrady was at a 45-degree angle.Making a dry pull again, Kobe sneered, fake.

True or false, the basketball flies to Rasheed.

Rashid squeezed a way, went in the middle, and succeeded in a one-armed dunk.

"The point of Rashid has also been opened, which is a good thing." Xu Jicheng quickly answered.
