Chapter 504 502. This Game Is Not Easy to Play!
With a dunk in the opening game, Tracy McGrady successfully drove away the five starters Raheem, Jason Terry, Ratliff, Prince, and Mohammed.
Then... McGrady started to struggle.
In order to save face for Ratliff and Prince, Jason Terry and Raheem, Ratliff and Prince looked at McGrady as if they were killing their father and enemy, and defended McGrady with their lives.
This is McGrady, a man with a difference.
He always likes to kill things that stimulate the opponent's little heart and make the opponent go berserk.
In the original time and space, McGrady led the Pistons 3-1 in the first round of the playoffs this season. It was good, and the Pistons have not yet become a real strong team. After getting the coach Larry Brown and Rasheed Wallace The former Pistons, the super power forward, had a good record, but something was missing. They were beaten 3-1 by someone, but the eighth in the Eastern Conference beat the first in the Eastern Conference 3-1. Their hearts were about to collapse. Yes, but McGrady said: "If it is the rules of last season, I am already thinking about whether my opponent will be Kidd or Payton in the next round."
Then the Pistons felt humiliated, they hadn’t been eliminated yet, everyone went berserk, they won three games in a row, they beat the Magic by an average of more than 20 points in these three games, and drove McGrady back to Orlando to consider the next round. What posture to watch TV.
The Eagles played very excitedly after McGrady threw and dunked himself. Raheem slammed McGrady and made a chisel. McGrady really couldn't guard against this. Although Raheem is not as strong as McGrady, he is not as comprehensive as McGrady. Skills, dexterity Elegant scoring ability, but Raheem is strong in low post singles.
After all, Raheem is also a top star who has begun to enter his peak period. Although the ability rating of 92 is not as good as that of McGrady, who has an ability rating of 98, he is still the boss of a powerful team. His ability to lead the team alone is not as good as McGrady. Don't be afraid at all!
Raheem forced the Magic to double-team, and then Raheem connected with Jason Terry. Jason Terry looked at the opportunity to shoot or pass. Jason Terry, who played the starting lineup, shot and passed. The selection is still good.
On the defensive end, McGrady couldn't defend against Raheem, who played a desperate game, which made the Magic unable to defend against the Eagles as a whole.
When the Magic team was attacking, McGrady encountered a brutal defensive sniper. McGrady really had no chance to make a move against Prince from the outside, so he continued to break through, and was double-teamed by Prince and Raheem. The sudden strong striker double-teamed , defended McGrady once.
However, the peak McGrady is the peak McGrady. This year, McGrady's efficiency value close to 31 is a historical level. It is basically the same as the efficiency value of O'Neal in the 99-00 season and James in the 11-12 season. When Rand and Kobe were at their peak, neither the efficiency value reached 30.
Of course, it has something to do with the style of play. O’Neal is purely tyrannical. James and Tracy McGrady are both versatile and efficient. Kobe and Durant are like those who don’t have to throw one beforehand to show their presence and let the opponent come over immediately. The style of play really affects the overall efficiency.
It is relatively one-sided to evaluate a star only by efficiency value. Like Jordan, except for the first championship season when the efficiency value exceeded 30, the efficiency value of the next five championships was less than 30.
But those who can break through the 30 efficiency value are undoubtedly historical superstars, at least this season, McGrady is!
And in fact, those whose efficiency value exceeds 18 are already excellent, those whose efficiency value exceeds 20, and their statistics are not bad at the same time, are basically all-stars, and those whose efficiency exceeds 25 are basically placed in the MVP discussion ranks.
After being double-teamed once, McGrady quickly learned that the Eagles were angry with him, but this was exactly what he wanted. After being double-teamed, McGrady began to pass the ball to organize the offense, and mixed with individual singles, teammates scored, He scored by himself, and soon played with ease.
Liu Mang watched McGrady play brilliantly with a group of old, weak, young and disabled from the sidelines, and he just clenched the score tightly. What a headache!
How can I conquer this jealous son?
"Conquer the Son of Jealousy: Long-term mission, use the performance in the game to conquer Trace McGrady, the time is not limited, the reward is to be determined, the shorter the time, the higher the reward."
What exactly is considered to conquer McGrady? Liu Mang was at a loss, his statistics were better than McGrady?
This is difficult, basically impossible. Except for assists, the statistics of the two of them are basically twice that of Liu Mang.
Beat McGrady in the game?
This doesn't seem to be the case either. It's normal for the Eagles to beat the Magic. As long as the Eagles don't kill themselves, the Magic are just a team that barely made it to the playoffs.
This made Liu Mang very confused, so he could only take one step at a time.
I'm too lazy to think about it. There is no penalty for this kind of long-term task.
That being the case, Liu Mang focused on the present moment, on the key slot battle in front of him.
Defeat McGrady for a playoff berth first, and the rest will come later!
...
In the past three years since McGrady joined the Magic, they have basically pointed to McGrady alone. McGrady is the barometer of whether the Magic can win. Whether it is a weak team or a weak team, it is possible to win the game. Dare to grab 17 rebounds and beat the Spurs when they are not feeling good and only score 15 points, and dare to be killed by the Nuggets when they score 40 points. This man is So different, the Spurs and the Nuggets want to cry, the Spurs and the Kings are desperate for the No. The Nuggets and the Cavaliers struggled to win the last place in the Western Conference Finals. They couldn't win the Cavaliers all the time. McGrady came to give the Cavaliers an assist and lost a goal.
But today, it must be a sunny day for Magic fans watching live TV in Orlando. The wet and cold sea breeze on the south coast can't stop McGrady's fiery heat.
McGrady is very serious about the match against Liu Mang, well prepared, and has a positive attitude... After the start of the match, he played better and better, relying on his strong personal strength, with the old: Kemp, the weak: Jacques- Vaughan, Young: Gooden, Can: It's still Kemp, with such a lineup, it's a match for the top five starters of the Eagles!
In the starting lineup of the Magic, except for Yugoslavian Kirisek who can directly help McGrady, everyone else can only rely on McGrady's pass to score. Although Kirisek doesn't like McGrady, his strength is actually good, and Mike Miller The performance in the first half of the season was similar. Although he is too old and is basically at his peak, he is a player who is in good shape and has seen big scenes. McGrady doesn't like him just because his friend Mike Miller was traded.
But even if Kirisek is good, he is an older rookie with an average of 11 points per game. McGrady performed very well today. At the 11th minute of the first quarter, the Magic and the Eagles scored 24 to 28. , Leng did not let the Eagles widen the point difference.
The Magic had some substitutions, with power forward pitcher Pat Garrity and former Sixth Man of the Year Darrell Armstrong brought in during the official timeout.
The Hawks didn't make any substitutions. The starting lineup played well. The team played well offensively. They cooperated tacitly and defended aggressively. They couldn't defend against Tracy McGrady. No team could defend Tracy McGrady this season.
Seeing that the top five starters played very actively and hard, coach Kruger did not make any substitutions in the first quarter and let them keep playing. He wanted to consume McGrady more and create better opportunities for Liu Mang when he came on the court. Let Liu Mang lead a wave of substitutes to take away the game.
The goal of the Eagles in March is to win as soon as possible, don't think so much, there is only one two-day rest in the whole March, and the rest of the time is back to back, at most one day rest.
The first quarter is coming to an end, the five starters and the Magic team scored 28 to 24, suppressing the Magic team, the goal of the Eagles is about to be achieved!
But just when Liu Mang was ready to warm up after the last minute of the first quarter, and then went up with Boozer to take advantage of the situation to widen the point difference, at the last minute, the situation suddenly turned sharply !
McGrady, who mainly used his own threats to organize offenses and supplemented by personal offenses, scored 9 points and 5 assists in 11 minutes. The assists exploded in the first quarter. In the last minute, his scoring performance was not bad, and his season average performance.
But at the last minute, McGrady suddenly went berserk and hit three consecutive three-pointers!
A man played a 9-2 wave by himself, and the Eagles didn't even react. At the end of the first quarter, the Magic were 33-30. In just three short rounds, the Eagles went from a four-point lead after the first quarter. It became three points behind!
The key is that every time McGrady makes a three-pointer, he demonstrates once, and instead of starting the Five Tigers towards the Eagles on the field, he looks at Liu Mang with his relaxed and blurred eyes.
That's right, after Liu Mang stood up and was about to play, McGrady started to go berserk.
Knowing this from Mai Di's eyes, Liu Mang said MMP in his throat.
You are poisonous!
Your cousins are poisonous! It's all about the young master! Jealous of the young master's beauty, wisdom and talent!
...
Intersection break, although the last minute of the first quarter was a bit unexpected, but the team's overall strategy will not change. The Eagles made substitutions, including Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Prince, and Boozer. Er and Muhammad play.
Raheem, as the offensive arrow, and Ratliff, the defensive pillar, both played the first quarter, and it was time to rest.
For the Magic, of course, McGrady can’t rest. He has averaged 40 minutes per game this season, except for games with a big lead, and basically has no chance to rest in most games. With veteran point guard Chris -Whitney, Kirisek, veteran white power forward Andrew De Klerk, second-year muscular Steven Hunter play.
Compared with the starting lineup, the Magic's bench is not bad. Originally, this team was built for the championship. That is, there is no difference between the starting lineup and the substitute, except McGrady, Kirisek, and Gooden. There is no difference between the other players.
Liu Mang looked at the current lineup of the Magic.
In addition to McGrady's 98 ability evaluation, Whitney 67, Kirisek 73, De Klerk 60, Hunter 68.
The management of the Magic team is really not reluctant to spend money, and they spent a lot of money. This rotation lineup is really good. If the Eagles don’t have Liu Mang and Boozer on the bench, they are not as good as the Magic.
In the Eagles lineup, the ability evaluation of breakthrough 70 is Liu Mang's 77, Prince 72, Boozer 75, Muhammad 75, Jason Terry 85, Ratliff 83, Raheem 92, can Those with an ability value of 70 are most of the time members of the core lineup of a team, after all, they have the ability to start.
The magic team's bench lineup is really deep, but unfortunately this time the magic team made a good bench lineup, the core lineup collapsed, leaving only McGrady.
The quarter ended, and the second quarter began immediately. Liu Mang and Boozer came on the court, and first came to the sidelines to rub chalk.
After wiping off the chalk, Liu Mang and Boozer stood in front of the technical stage. Boozer was standing. Liu Mang used Boozer's chest as a "sandbag" and made a continuous "boxing" movement, and the chalk was scattered. , and then under the urging of the referee, the two hugged and went on the field.
Seeing the appearance of "Little Shuangsha", the cheers of the fans who were misfired by McGrady's three consecutive three-pointers were rekindled again!
The Eagles go first.
Liu Mang held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt. From going up to chasing to widen the point difference, he came up to chase points. The gap in his heart was a bit big. In addition, the magic team's bench lineup was strong, especially McGrady led the team personally. Liu Mang's pressure Also bigger.
After Liu Mang passed halftime, McGrady stepped out of the three-point line and waited for Liu Mang.
McGrady was very afraid of the three-pointer that Liu Mang attracted when he played against Liu Mang for the first time, and he was very active in defense this time.
Liu Mang watched McGrady's active clinging, small steps with good awareness, and defensive moves. He was very good at defending against breakthroughs, shots, and fouls.
Liu Mang didn't choose to play hard. Although McGrady's defense may not be as strong as Kobe's, it is not easy to deal with. With Boozer around, why use hard steel.
Boozer and Liu Mang really have a tacit understanding. Seeing that Liu Mang didn't want to play singles, he didn't need Liu Mang to take the initiative to pick and roll, and quietly came behind McGrady.
Liu Mang's strong attack on the right side, McGrady moved laterally very sharply and quickly, "Pa", McGrady's first step was not only powerful in offense, but also very fast when he was serious on the defensive end, colliding with Boozer like a bullet , making a crisp crashing sound.
Boozer let out a muffled snort, and narrowly blocked McGrady from being knocked over.
Liu Mang rushed into the inside, and after passing McGrady, scoring was easy. The pace changed by three steps, and the two inside lanes of the Magic were flying all over the sky. Liu Mang scored two points with a small throw.
After scoring the score, Liu Mang still had some lingering fears in his heart!
When Boozer and McGrady collided just now, he just cut in from the side, and the crisp voice just reached Liu Mang's ears.
This damn wheat round! To use such speed and strength to chase and defend, if it hits him... Liu Mang dare not think! This damn Mai Lun is scarier than his cousin!
It will be updated before 11:00 tomorrow morning, and this chapter will finish the game in a big way
