Starting with 2006

Chapter 74 Confronting McGrady
And at this time in Huaxia's live broadcast room.

"Director Zhang, you said that if Gao Tian participated in this year's World Championships, would the results of the men's basketball team be doubled?"

"Tsk tsk, I think he will definitely be able to break into the semi-finals. As for the future, it's hard to say. After all, Gao Tian had just graduated from college at that time, so he might lack some experience."

"Hey, it is indeed! But this year's men's basketball team is really remarkable, especially Wang Shipeng's lore, my God, it is so shocking! Do you mean that Gao Tian will participate in next year's Asian Championships? ?”

"Well, I don't think so. You should know that 08 is the Beijing Olympic Games, and the men's basketball team will automatically get the right to participate in the Olympic Games. In order to avoid some accidents, I think the Basketball Association will probably send the second team to participate in the Asian Championships. Gao Tian probably won't either. go."

"Director Zhang is right! I look forward to the day when I can see Gao Tian in China. I believe this is also the expectation of the fans. I don't know when I can see him in China."

"I'm not sure about that! Cough, well, let's watch the game! Audience friends, the exciting Huaxia Derby is about to begin, and now Stoudemire and Yao Ming are jumping the ball."

"If there is no accident, the ball will belong to the Rockets. After all, Dayao's height is there."

Gao Tian watched Yao Ming lightly jump and directly picked the ball to the Rockets' backcourt. McGrady got the ball and gave it directly to Alstom.

"Charles, what do you think the Rockets' first offense will be?"

Kenny Smith asked with interest.

"To Yao Ming!"

Barkley curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Everyone knows Jeff Van Gundy's tactics, but I have to say that Yao Ming is really strong now, and he is definitely one of the best contenders for the number one center in the league!"

Seeing Kenny Smith looking at him, Olajuwon straightened his expression, and said a little seriously: "I think Yao Ming is now at the top level of the league in both offense and defense, and one of them can even be removed!"

"Oh?"

Kenny Smith was a little surprised. You must know that Olajuwon seldom praises a player. No one can force him to say what he doesn't want to say. Since he said this on the TV show facing the world, it shows that he is really very good. Like this player.

"Hakeem, since you said Yao Ming is a great player, who do you think is stronger between you and Yao Ming?"

Kenny Smith said slightly jokingly.

Even Barkley, who had a slightly disdainful look on his face, was a little curious when he heard this question. You must know that although he dissatisfied with Olajuwon, his strength is undeniable in his heart. The Rockets can retire after Jordan. After winning the two-year championship, it was not only the joining of the glider, but also Olajuwon's undeniable leadership ability.

"I don't think he can guard me, but it's also very difficult for me to guard him. After all, a big man over [-] meters can have such a soft touch, it's unbelievable!"

After Alston dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he passed the ball directly to McGrady on the wing, and McGrady did not hesitate to hang the ball to Yao Ming who was stuck inside Dior.

Looking at Dior who was struggling to defend Yao Ming, Gao Tian just wanted to pinch when he saw McGrady moving directly to the other side. Dare to let him shoot in the open spot?

Yao Ming arched twice at first, feeling the great resistance behind him, then turned around and shot a jumper before Stoudemire's help defense arrived, and his soft fingers directly moved the ball to make it fall into the basket smoothly.

Dior looked helplessly at Yao Ming, who scored easily. He felt that this big Chinese man was really abnormal. Such a tall man could still have such a soft touch. Thinking of this, looking back, he was a little excited and was already preparing to return to defense. Gao Tian, ​​and his teammates, are all Chinese people like them?
Inhuman!
Naturally, Gao Tian wouldn't be angry because Dayao scored a goal, because before the game, everyone knew that the Suns inside would be difficult to defend against Yao Ming, so they could only try to restrict him from going inside and force him to go inside. More mid-range shots, as for whether to make it or not, it depends on God!

They are not afraid of how many mid-range shots Yao Ming can make. After all, his stature is there. Putting more pressure on him will make him consume more energy. 35 minutes per game is his limit, and he cannot play more time. It is doomed that his output is capped!
What the Suns are most afraid of is that Yao Ming creates too many opportunities on the outside. Once the Rockets, led by McGrady, feel hot on the outside, the Suns will be very passive, so the Suns are betting with Van Gundy that Yao Ming's production will not increase too much!
"Haha, it was so easy for Dayao to beat Dior. The Rockets took the lead and scored two points."

Director Xu said with a smile.

"Let's see how the Rockets defend. You must know that Gao Tian's off-ball tactics later on are notoriously difficult to defend against!"

Director Zhang looked at the screen nervously.

Not only him, but all the audience in front of the TV and the fans at the scene looked solemn. Everyone knows how the Suns will play later, but can they guard against it? Almost most teams have the same answer. Now they are facing Gao Tian The most important thing is that his physical talent is similar to Gao Tian. Although his athletic ability is not as good as McGrady's in the past, he may be the most suitable player in the league to match Gao Tian. Can he defend?

Everyone has this question, and even the noisy TNT studio has been quieted down. Everyone knows that this is a huge test for the Rockets, and it is also a torture for Tracy McGrady.

Facing the best up-and-coming star in the league, Gao Tian's physical template is his. Can McGrady defend against Gao Tian?
McGrady didn't know, so he was staring at Gao Tian next to him, thinking about Van Gundy's analysis before the game started, the next step he should make a fake run to the left, of course it might be true, so it can't Take it lightly and put his left wing directly.

Moved!

Mai Di's eyes narrowed slightly, and he followed Gao Tian directly with his long legs, and then watched Gao Tian suddenly turn half and half, and it really was a fake run!

McGrady smiled slightly, then turned around and followed Gao Tian, ​​and when he reached the free throw line on the right wing, seeing Gao Tian running towards the three-point line with the help of Stoudemire's off-ball screen, McGrady turned around lightly and was about to pass with a big stride .

He was very accurate in his calculations. The time he left for Gao Tian was less than half a second. As long as he hesitated a little, the defense was a success!
Van Gundy witnessed the battle of wits between Gao Tian and McGrady, and couldn't help admiring McGrady's amazing reaction ability. You must know that tactics are just tactics. In the ever-changing arena, you don't know what to do. And change, so the defender is at a disadvantage.

But McGrady won't, because his height, wingspan and amazing reaction ability determine that his interference ability is stronger than most players, leaving you with less than half a second, what should you do?
Van Gundy smiled slightly, and could almost celebrate the success of this anti-Gao Tian off-the-ball tactic, but seeing Gao Tian take off the moment he received the ball, his heart was in his throat instantly, can this be shot?

When McGrady saw Gao Tian, ​​who was less than half a meter in front of him, catch the ball and shot it, he was so shocked that he jumped up and rushed over. He was speechless. Even if he had time, his interference must be very large. In this case, your How high can the hit rate be?

Might as well stop and reorganize tactics!

This dumbass!
