Chapter 556 Little Eddie Takes over the Spotlight

"Tracy, I called you in the summer, why don't you come to Los Angeles?" Kobe invited McGrady to attend the Mamba Academy.

"I'm training with Mr. Auerbach."

"Then let me see what you learned from the Cardinal."

"You'll see."

Maddie's eyelids drooped even more, and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes.

"Good evening ladies in the audience!"

"This is the Major League Basketball game broadcast live on NBC nationwide!"

"The rosters of both sides have been released."

"The Lakers lineup remains unchanged."

"Boston's starting lineup is guards: Dana Burrows, Tracy McGrady, forwards: Keith Van Horn, Antoine Walker, center Tyrese Knight."

"A very young lineup. Except for Dana Burrows, the others are all rookies in 19697. Such a lineup can rank seventh in the Eastern Conference, which shows their potential."

"Pitino has adjusted the Celtics' offense very well, and with the addition of McGrady and Knight, one inside and one outside, the two people's good defense has built this all-around offensive and defensive team."

"The boss of this team is Antoine Walker, but Van Horn and McGrady are also very important links in the team. If Van Horn stretches the space, Walker will not have so many shooting opportunities. Without McGrady's Organization and defense, the team’s perimeter will be blown away.”

"Tracy has the height of a small forward, plays the shooting guard position, and does the work of a point guard! This is Auerbach's positioning for this talented player!"

O'Neal and Tyrese Wright jumped the ball.

"Hey, your kid is in the starting lineup?" O'Neal was surprised.

"Occasionally, occasionally." Tyrese Wright smiled wryly, and he and Andrew de Klerk shared playing time at the center position. Neither of them is capable enough to be a starter, but after all, the Celtics still have relatively few rotation players and there is no better choice. Fortunately, under Pitino's tactics, the center only serves as a wall and defense, and does not require too high abilities.

If Tyrese Wright had played well, he wouldn't have been cut by the Hornets.

O'Neal easily won the jump ball.

The Lakers attack and Kobe advances.

A thin but nimble figure suddenly appeared on guard.

Maddie!

"Little Tracey? Are you going to guard me?" Kobe blocked McGrady sideways and started to talk trash with the hair boy.

McGrady said nothing and continued to delay Kobe's advancement with side steps.

"So fast!"

"It's incredible that Tracy McGrady, with his height, can have top lateral speed in the league."

"Kobe's advance was delayed, and his pass to O'Neal was almost intercepted!"

O'Neal received the pass, squeezed into the basket with a slight squeeze, and completed a layup.

soft.

Wright is too soft.

And Antoine Walker has no tendency to help defend, which makes O'Neal's offense too easy.

"Give it to me!" McGrady caught the ball from Van Horn and pushed forward directly.

Kobe's opponent is Dana Burrows.

He watched McGrady push forward, ignore Antoine Walker's request for the ball, pick and roll with Tyrese Wright into the mid-range, take off elegantly from the mid-range, and score a pull-up jumper.

"Interesting." Kobe nodded. McGrady is really much better than the same period. It seems that the training effect of the Cardinal is great!

"Hey, kid. I asked you to pass the ball to me!" Fat Toutuo was dissatisfied.

"Hmph." Maddie snorted without saying a word.

"If this kid hadn't scored a goal, I would have stuffed his head into the locker!" Antoine Walker cursed.

Kobe understands that Tracy McGrady is not willing to assist Fat Tou Tuo at all.

In his last life, he was willing to assist his cousin Carter for a few years because Carter was strong enough.

As for Fat Tou Tuo, there was no way to convince McGrady.

Assist him?

Is he worthy?

That's all. In front of Kobe, McGrady couldn't help it!

Tracy McGrady is going to dominate the show today!

The Lakers' offense is still instigated by Kobe, and the Celtics seem to have loopholes everywhere in front of the Lakers. Kobe can easily create opportunities for his teammates to complete the offense.

Although McGrady's defense is good, his physical talent is too outstanding. But that's it. Kobe can beat Pippen, and it's very easy to complete the organization in front of Tracy McGrady.

Except for Tracy McGrady, the Celtics don't have a single point that can be called a good defensive player.

It was too easy. Kobe had a hundred ways for the Lakers to complete the offense.

But until the end of the game, the score between the Lakers and Celtics was not far behind!

The scores of both sides have been rising alternately.

The Lakers' offensive firepower is fierce, and so is the Celtics!

McGrady's outburst has once again raised the already powerful Celtics' offensive capabilities to a new level.

Keith Van Horn felt explosive in this game. Coupled with Fat Tou Tuo flying a kite on the outside, the offensive group composed of three people can shoot no matter how hard it is on the outside!

Once the touch comes, it really can’t be stopped no matter what.

Especially for such talented players, when they feel the touch, they are in peak condition!

McGrady's offensive method is very simple!

Taking advantage of O'Neal's inability to pull out this shortcoming, he made a mid-range jumper after a crazy pick-and-roll.

His height and jumping are so exaggerated that he can complete a jump shot with just a little distance.

"Domination! McGrady showed the dominance of a rookie!"

"The current Celtics have a tactical system with McGrady as the core, and they tied with the Lakers!"

Kobe also seemed to want to see how much McGrady had grown and didn't guard McGrady until the fourth quarter.

McGrady scored 24 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists in the three quarters. For a rookie who averages over 10 points per game, such statistics are very good. If you work hard, you have a chance to get 30+!

There are really very few players who score 30+ statistics as rookies.

But he met Kobe, and Kobe's defense made McGrady clearly aware of his problem.

Confrontation is weak! Being bullied by Kobe with his strength!

Pick and roll?

He immediately rushes forward and uses his strength to block you!

At the end of the fourth quarter, there were still 24 points!

The entire fourth quarter! 0 for 3! Zero blocked by Kobe! Got 4 steals!

"Damn it, is the gap between me and him already so far?"

Kobe took over the game in the fourth quarter, and his omnipotent offensive performance stung little Eddie's heart.

"Damn it, if you can't score, just pass the ball to me!" Fat Toutuo was furious. For the boss of the team in this era, he really couldn't tolerate his younger brother taking more shots than himself.

"Coach, are you going to let McGrady play like this?"

Pitino was thoughtful. He thought that McGrady, like Hill, was born to like passing the ball, which blinded his offensive talent.

Look at McGrady, and then look at Fat Tou Tuo.

Pitino said nothing.

At the end of the game, Lakers 105:91 Celtics.

The Celtics, who relied on McGrady to fight the Lakers in the first three quarters, were beaten 32:14 in a single quarter after Kobe took over. Take away the game in one wave.

The Lakers won 13 consecutive victories from their old rivals, the Celtics!

"Tracy, I hope to see you next time. You will be stronger." Kobe patted the unconvinced little Eddie.

"You'll see." Maddie bit her lip.
