NBA: I'm really not a point guard god

Rivers chose to believe in the players.

However, the reality gave him a big slap in the face.

McGrady can be said to be both a father and a mother.

7 points, 1 rebounds, 3 assists.

However, the Magic team only scored 14 points.

Every point has McGrady's contribution.

Zhou Yao had 5 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block.

The data is more comprehensive, and it is roughly equal to McGrady.

It's just that McGrady is the boss of the Magic and the player with the most points.

Zhou Yao is only the Wizards' second-in-command, and he has the fewest points in the starting five.

It was only the first quarter, and the Wizards scored 34 points.

A full 20 points more than the Magic.

By the time Rivers finally called a timeout, the situation was getting out of hand.

……

At the beginning of the second quarter, the veterans of the Wizards began to sit on the sidelines to rest.

Only Zhou Yao was on the court with a group of substitutes.

It's just that the Magic generals who had been stunned obviously didn't recover from the first quarter.

Throughout the second quarter, all members of the Magic completed 26 shots, but only hit 7 times.

Counting free throws, only 18 points were scored.

He only grabbed 9 rebounds.

Zhou Yao got 6 rebounds alone.

During halftime.

62: 32.

The Magic are already 30 points behind.

……

"What are the Magic players doing?"

"Don't they think it's bad to get to the second round of the playoffs easily?"

"Or, they want to help Zhou Yao get an incredible number of rebounds in a series?"

"Zhou Yao already got 9 rebounds in the first half."

"It's certainly not a lot."

"But what I want to know most now is why the Magic players can't put that damn basketball into the basket in this game."

Even Barkley couldn't understand the performance of the Magic.

Everyone knows that Barkley is the most supportive of the Wizards this season.

……

Back from intermission.

The Wizards veterans who have been recharging their batteries for a long time launched an offensive.

74: 38.

The point difference was widened to 36 points.

The third quarter is far from over.

Magic has no desire to fight.

In order to preserve strength.

Collins also replaced the veterans through substitutions.

until the end of the game.

It was the Magic's substitutes who pulled the score back a bit.

However, it has been useless.

Many people thought that the Magic would sweep the Wizards with gentlemen.

However, the two sides can only wait until they return to Orlando to continue the entanglement.

……

5 month 2 day.

Game 6 of the first round of the playoffs.

First quarter.

麦迪5投5中，其中三分球2投2中，罚球2罚1中。

Efficiently scored 13 points, 1 rebound, 4 assists, and 1 steal.

Lead the team to lead the Wizards 30:21.

This time, it's the Wizards' shooting percentage that makes people unbearable to look at.

If Zhou Yao hadn't grabbed 12 rebounds frantically, the Wizards might have been blown up in the first quarter.

It was like the last magic trick.

……

The Wizards' performance in the second quarter did not seem to be any better.

The offensive rhythm is up.

However, he made 27 of 8 shots, and his shooting percentage was only a poor 29.6%.

This kind of hit rate makes people shake their heads when they see it.

However, the Magic, who made 19 of 11 shots for the team, did not take advantage of it.

事实上，魔术是19投11中，其中三分球11投3中，罚球9罚5中。

The team scored 30 points in the second quarter.

而奇才则是27投8中，其中三分球8投8中，罚球7罚6中。

Also scored 30 points.

Moreover, the Wizards grabbed 18 rebounds, twice as many as the Magic.

This allowed them to shoot poorly, but have too many shots.

……

"What are the wizards doing?"

"Is there any enchantment within the three-point line?"

"Or is it that their whole team has become Zhou Yao, who can't shoot after entering the three-point line?"

"The good thing is they made all the threes."

"Otherwise the suspense of this game will be lost as early as the last one."

"However, are the Wizards and Magic playing a turn-based game?"

"Why do both sides have a game with such a poor shooting percentage?"

Of course Barkley still hopes that the Wizards can win, but even he can't understand such a game.

……

Back from intermission.

The Wizards began to play steadily, and their shooting percentage recovered a little.

Magic can only be led by the nose.

Fortunately, McGrady scored 9 points at the critical moment.

Help the team stabilize the situation.

Although it is still inevitable to be led by the nose by the opponent.

81: 74.

At least in terms of score, the Magic still have a big advantage.

……

As soon as the fourth quarter comes up.

Ewing made a mistake and the ball was intercepted by the opponent's Armstrong.

The latter passed the ball to McGrady and directly pulled up a jumper, but it was a pity that he hit the iron.

Zhou Yao got the rebound and gave it to Ewing to shoot again.

The ball goes in.

81: 76.

On the court at this time, Collins put on a super big lineup.

Ewing, 213.

Wang Zhizhi, 213.

Haslem, 203.

Boozer, 206.

Zhou Yao, 206.

"I wonder what's going on in Collins' head?"

"Before that, he played a 3-point guard lineup and a 4-guard lineup."

"Now, we're seeing a three-forward lineup again."

"All five players on the field are all above 5 meters."

"How should I describe it?"

"5 Towers?"

Not just Barkley, almost all commentators have issued the same question.

However, although the five players are all over 5 meters tall, their roles are still different.

Ewing and Haslem formed twin towers inside.

Zhou Yao is naturally still the point guard, acting as the organizer.

Wang Zhizhi is a tall three-point fort on the outside.

Boozer's three-pointer is not very good, but he also has a good mid-range shot.

Can play a good containment role.

Moreover, all 5 players are tall players.

Passing the ball has also become particularly easy.

Of course, if the opponent initiates a fast break, the Wizards can't stand it.

Don't count on the Magic's rebounding either.

For a while, the Wizards actually had the upper hand.

Rivers said he couldn't understand it, but was shocked.

Hastily called a timeout.

But after a timeout, the Wizards' lineup is back to normal.

Replaced Ewing and Haslem, replaced Jordan and Arenas.

At the end of the game with 1 minute left, the Wizards finally completed the overtake.

However, the game still depends on the final result.

The Magic, which led most of the game, failed to hold on to their advantage.

He also failed to open the score when the Wizards collectively felt bad.

In the end, he had to swallow this bitter pill.

A few days ago, McGrady was still saying that he was already thinking about his opponent in the next round.

But now, the next round of opponents has appeared.

The Pistons eliminated the Celtics 4:2.

The Magic still have to play a tiebreaker with the Wizards.

The game dragged to the tiebreaker, so it's hard to say who will win...
