Reboot McGrady

Chapter 48 048 All-Star Game

Ow!

Once Kobe smashed the board and passed the ball, after Garnett dunked passionately, he beat his chest and stamped his feet at the audience on the sidelines, which aroused warm cheers from all the audience.

This is Garnett's signature move.

In the All-Star Game, players always have to show their best side and dedicate it to the fans.As the All-Star vote leader, McGrady kept a low profile before the game, but he didn't show much on the field.

He knew that everyone at the scene was not convinced by each other, and if he stood out, he would encounter more trouble.Now my body is still weak, so I dare not mess around.

hole!Whoosh!hole! !Whoosh! ! !

After several beautiful dunks and dry pulls, McGrady took the initiative to rest.

Eastern coach Larry Brown frowned and asked him, do you want to continue playing?

"No, I can only call for 15 minutes, it's almost time."

McGrady waved his hand, three games, 15 minutes, 15 points, is enough.And there are 7 assists, the data is already quite beautiful.

In fact, Larry Brown is just asking. His most important purpose is to help Iverson become the MVP of the All-Star Game.

The 76ers where he is currently ranked first in the East, so he became the All-Star head coach of the East.Iverson also told him before the game that he hopes to win the MVP and play more playing time.

For others, Brown will arrange some time at will, go on the court to have a refreshment, and take a few laps.Carter will play more time because he dunks beautifully and fans love to watch.

Like Duncan in the opposite team, there is no entertainment attribute, it belongs to a professional background board, actively defends, and acts as a cut for the opponent's goal.

McGrady beckoned, let the team doctor enter, then took off his shoes and began to apply ice.

The DJ at the scene really shouted, "Oh, Dier! It turns out that McGrady is really injured. He took the initiative to appear on the stage for the sake of the fans. Now, McGrady will not be able to appear in the fourth quarter."

Tim Hardaway came over, "When did you get hurt?"

He is also an All-Star player, but a backup candidate.Mainly because of the Heat's record, Big Ben and Mason both had a chance, but Riley and Brown recommended Tim Hardaway.

McGrady smiled wryly, "I have been fighting with injuries, and I have to be lazy in a game like the All-Stars."

Tim Hardaway was stunned for a moment. He remembered that McGrady has been playing this season, but because of finger problems, he stopped for one game. In other games, as long as he played, he tried his best.

I didn't expect to play with injuries, he really is a victorious guy.

He sat down and "suddenly said, by March, Mourning may choose to come back, and his injury is under control."

"This is a good thing. By then, our inside line will be stronger. I look forward to his full recovery."

Hardaway was quiet for a while, "But Mourning is back, he is the leader of the team. Will you...will you be willing?"

When young people want to be in the top position, they will naturally express themselves. This is an eternal truth.Every generation of players competes for the leadership of the team after they have produced statistics.

McGrady has such a foundation and has led the team very well. If Mourning comes back, will he be willing to hand over the leadership?He is not reconciled to being Hardaway. He is almost 35 years old and still wants to be the boss, even for one season.

"We don't talk about each other. After fighting for most of the season, Riley made it clear whether you are the boss or I am the boss? In his heart, Mourning will always be the boss of the team." McGrady said softly, still smiling.

His eyes were blurred, and he didn't seem to care.There is still a word in his heart that he didn't say. In fact, Mourning is not the boss of the team either. The real boss is Pat Riley himself.

Following Riley for more than half a season, McGrady has stolen a lot.He is a high school player, and his understanding of tactical coordination is really not as good as that of players who have experienced NCAA games.

American university basketball is a real team basketball.After a season, the tactical quality and team awareness of the players will be greatly improved.

This is what these high school players lack.Even after playing in the NBA for a few years, I didn't get the hang of it before, and I didn't quite understand it.

Now after learning for a while, he has made a lot of choices in passing the ball, and has a more thorough understanding of the team's tactics. Moreover, he has also made great progress in predicting the progress of the game.

This is an important consideration for him to choose the Heat. Among other teams, only the Jazz has a godfather-level coach like Riley.Popovich is not counted, the Zen master is only in the Lakers, and he doesn't like to understand the Zen master's "flicker" way.

"You're right, Mourning is the boss of the Heat, the real boss. We've been fighting for half a season, and maybe in Riley's eyes, it's all a joke."

This time it was Maddie's turn to be dazed, this... is it an epiphany?No wonder Tim Hardaway was kicked out by Pat Riley after this season.

I couldn't control it anymore, I couldn't fool around anymore, and then I was kicked out.

"It doesn't matter who is the boss, I just want to win." McGrady pretended to be detached, "If you can win enough honors in the team, that's the best thing. I don't pay much attention to other things, including the team. The position of the boss."

"They are all understanding people, so don't hold it. I will talk to Riley. If it doesn't work, find another way out. He already thinks I am old. In the second half of the season, I will try my best to cooperate with you to make you play better." The data."

"Your talent is really enviable."

"Hey, it doesn't need to be so sad. We are still teammates, and the transfer market will not be opened for you alone."

Hardaway laughed, "That's right, let's not talk about sad things. Enjoy the All-Star Weekend and go tonight, okay? Iverson's team is over, do you want to go together?"

"No, he wants to win the All-Star MVP, so he will naturally form a game. You guys have fun, and I have to meet some friends."

Heads up, the fourth quarter has begun.

Originally, the West led by 20 points, and it looked like they were about to win.Iverson and Marbury rushed to each other frantically, broke through and shot, and soon the score was approaching.

Then, Kobe didn't want to let the victory slip away, so he started to go crazy, hitting consecutive three-pointers and continuing to open the score.

Marbury also responded with a three-pointer, and Iverson made all three-pointers, and the score was getting closer.

Larry Brown looked at McGrady, McGrady pointed at his feet helplessly, shrugged, and couldn't get up.It's still wrapped in an ice pack, it's really not good.

During this period of time, the Eastern and Western All-Stars are really fighting, and they all want to win the game. McGrady is too lazy to join in the fun.He has been too much in the limelight recently, so he must take the initiative to keep a low profile.

The game entered a fierce stage, Kobe hit 3 difficult mid-range shots in a row, and had a hard top with Iverson and Marbury.At the last moment, the East still led by one point, with a total score of 111:110.
On the last attack in the West, Kobe held the ball and saw Duncan at a 45° angle.This is the MVP of the 1999 Finals, which is Duncan's best position.

To him, yes.Then, just as Duncan wiped the ball away, Carter jumped high and slapped the ball to the sidelines...

The lore was gone, and Kobe was stunned.Suddenly, countless thoughts rushed into his head.

"No one can be relied on, and at the last moment, no one can be relied on. I can only rely on myself." He said to himself silently, "At the last moment, I can only bear the pressure by myself."

I will not pass the ball again!At critical moments, the ball cannot be given to teammates, and no teammate can be trusted.
