Legendary basketball manager

As the saying goes, the brave who meet in a narrow way wins.

When there is a wall blocking the way forward, some people choose to retreat, some people choose to divert, and very few people will choose to knock down the wall!

And McGrady, who has recovered, definitely belongs to the last category.

Looking at Noah in front of him, t-mac gritted his teeth and kicked his feet hard.

The next moment, as if he was stepping on a spring, he instantly rose to a terrifying height.

Noah also reacted at this time, struggling to take off.

He knows that his bounce is not as good as McGrady, but he believes that he can use his strong body to interfere with the latter's attack frame.

"Bang~"

The bodies of the two collided violently in the air.

Then...

Noah actually fell backwards!

"bang!"

McGrady slammed the ball into the basket with one hand.

Another dunk!

This is McGrady's response.

"My God, a shooting guard challenged the opponent's center, and in the end it turned out that the center was knocked away. What kind of explosive power is this!"

Yang Yi exclaimed, he was once again shocked by McGrady's talent.

"It doesn't make sense at all. Noah has grasped the ball very well, whether it is the position selection or the timing of the jump. This is completely a dpoy (best defensive player) level defense."

"But McGrady didn't care about this at all, and just dunked on Noah's head, making all of Noah's efforts meaningless."

Yu Jia shook his head and said with a sigh.

As soon as the goal was scored, the eyes of the Rockets players present immediately changed.

When Rose completed the shocking "Dragon Slaying" pass just now, they were more or less hit.

But now, confidence and excitement have returned to the faces of the Rockets.

In the transition between offense and defense, Tony Allen stepped forward, waiting for Rose's arrival.

In the last bout, he was terminated with an ankle.

Although he said he didn't care, Tony Allen was full of energy in his heart!

He made up his mind that even if he couldn't guard Rose, he would let the latter "peel off his skin".

Ever since, in this round, Mr. Tony bullied Rose after he came to the top of the arc, constantly using physical contact to interfere with the latter's dribbling.

Rose has excellent physical fitness. So far in his career, he has never been afraid of close pressing.

But Mr. Tony is a master of defense after all. Every physical confrontation made Rose very uncomfortable, and his movements were very clean.

Even though the referee stood less than one meter away from the two of them and observed, they did not find any fouls.

This is the biggest difference between Tony Allen and Dreaming Green and Beverly!

His tough defense has never been based on "dirty" moves.

Rose gets annoyed by Allen.

Under this kind of entanglement, he lost the rhythm of dribbling, so it was difficult to get rid of the defense.

In desperation, Rose could only pass the ball out.

In the end, the Bulls' offensive round ended with Gibson's hook under the basket.

Griffin took off the rebound and passed the ball to Lowry beside him.

The small steel cannon quickly launched a counterattack.

After halftime, he observed the positions of his teammates and opponents.

It has to be said that the Bulls deserve to be the top three teams in the league in defensive efficiency.

Facing the Rockets' quick counterattack, they did not panic at all.

The five players retreated extremely quickly, all returned to their own half, and all found their defenders.

Lowry also realized at this moment that the counterattack might not succeed.

But he found that Rose, who was facing up, did not choose to defend close, but stepped on the three-point line to wait and see.

Lowry didn't hesitate, and decisively chose a position two steps outside the three-point line to shoot.

The basketball draws a rainbow-like arc in the air and hits the net!

"Roar!"

Lowry was very excited after scoring.

He had been suppressed by Rose before, and now he made such a difficult three-pointer face-to-face, and he felt a little elated.

At the same time, Shen Fei in the VIP box nodded thoughtfully, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When Lowry can make three-pointers, the Rockets' offense will become extremely simple.

And once Lowry is replaced by Curry, it is a shotgun change.

At that time, this chasing three-pointer can become a conventional weapon, and McGrady, Yao Ming and others will also have more room to attack.

............

With Lowry hitting a three-pointer, the point difference between the two teams was widened again.

After Rose continued to exert force, his physical fitness reached the bottleneck period again.

During a free throw gap, he put his hands on his knees and panted heavily.

Beans of sweat kept slipping from Rose's forehead, and anyone could see his exhaustion.

The game was almost halfway through, and Rose only rested for 2 minutes.

In the rest of the time, he almost carried the Bulls' offense on his shoulders, trying his best in every offensive round.

As for the Bulls' other players, although they all played hard, they obviously couldn't match the talent of the Rockets.

In normal games, they can also help Rose reduce consumption on the defensive end.

But today, when every player of the Rockets encounters Rose's defense, he will choose singles to consume the latter's physical strength.

Over time, with a talent as extraordinary as Ross, his physical strength began to run low, and even his technical movements became deformed.

Once the roses can't bloom, the Bulls' offense will stop for more than half.

At the end of the second quarter, the point difference between the two teams not only did not narrow, but widened.

When the red light on the timer came on, halftime was over, and the score was temporarily fixed at 60:45, with the Rockets leading by as many as 15 points.

Rose looked tired and walked towards the locker room without looking back.

............

"We have to figure out a way to take the pressure off Derek."

In the locker room, coach Thibodeau said solemnly.

The bull generals nodded one after another.

"Now the point difference is 15 points, and we are already standing on the edge of the cliff. In the second half of the game, everyone should not have any psychological burden, and make bold shots when there is a chance."

"Especially, Derek rushes in to attract the pass from the defense, and we must grasp it."

"Kyle, you shot boldly in the second half, even if it was a ball that was 50% likely to be blocked, you boldly shot for me, understand?"

Thibodeau looked straight at Korver and said seriously.

Korver, nicknamed "Pretty Country Jay Chou", nodded repeatedly.

He is a long-established shooter, once one of the five eagles.

As a pure shooter, Korver has also scored All-Stars and been selected for the national team, which shows how superb his shooting skills are.

Korver also has another feature-the regular season is much more accurate than the playoffs!

This year, he ranks first in both the number of three-pointers made and the number of three-pointers made.

The only one who can compete with him is Curry.

The latter's shooting percentage is actually higher than that of Korver, but unfortunately he missed too many games due to injury and failed to enter the rankings.

............

After Thibodeau arranged his tactics in great detail, the halftime break was about to end.

At this moment, Rose, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "In the second half, we will recover the points difference."

After that, he left the locker room on his own.

The teammates looked at each other in blank dismay, but then smiled again.

They knew that Ross, the silent leader, would explode in the second half!
