I’m Really Playing Basketball

Seeing how easily Kenyon Martin could cause a bloody storm under the Magic's basket, McGrady quickly understood that this game required his strong output.

This season the Magic are actually pretty good from positions 1 to 4.

Only the center position really stretches the crotch.

From Burke to Cobra to now Kemp, basically everything is given away.

Therefore, basically all the Magic's games this season follow this pattern, that is, he takes the other four players of the Magic to fill the hole left by the team's starting center.

Therefore, this has long been accustomed to him and the Magic players.

While McGrady was thinking, Ron Howard had already pushed the ball past half court. This time, Ron Howard did not give the ball to McGrady immediately.

Instead, Ron Howard waited for McGrady to get Chen Xiao stuck behind him in the left corner before Ron Howard hit the ball into McGrady's hands.

This is a pass without any organizational ability. Most point guards in the NBA are basically passing this kind of pass.

Because most point guards in the NBA are actually dribbling guards.

There are very few star point guards in this era.

Therefore, these ordinary starting point guards do not need to show their organizational skills or passing ability. They only need to deliver the ball to them in a timely manner according to the needs of the team boss.

Previously, McGrady failed to score due to his long-distance pull-up after changing direction. This time, he planned to change his attack method.

After leaning against Chen Xiao, McGrady's right hand holding the ball with one hand looked very much like Chen Xiao's one-handed holding to the Nets fans at the scene.

However, unlike Chen Xiao who can only pull up after holding the ball with one hand, McGrady has many more offensive methods to choose from.

"So handsome!"

However, before McGrady moved, just by seeing McGrady holding the ball with one hand, many Chinese viewers in front of the TV had already started shouting "cool".

In fact, McGrady's posture when holding the ball with one hand is indeed very handsome.

Although it looks very similar to Chen Xiao's holding the ball with one hand, the posture is more chic.

To put it another way, this one is more beautiful than Chen Xiao's when holding the ball with one hand.

Chen Xiao's one-handed ball holding movement is still too tight and not relaxed enough.

There's nothing you can do about it. After all, Chen Xiao doesn't have the ability to dribble. Even if he holds the ball with one hand, he still needs to pay attention to his opponent's upswing.

But McGrady doesn't need to consider this issue.

McGrady welcomes Chen Xiao or his own defensive players to grab it.

Because he is much more confident in his breakthrough ability than his shooting ability!

Of course, it was impossible for Chen Xiao to rob him.

As a person labeled as "the ball retreats" by league experts, Chen Xiao's defense can only retreat and never advance.

You can laugh at me for being cowardly, but I know that I am not being cowardly, but retreating to make progress!

Tracy McGrady can act cool whenever he wants. I can do it anyway, so it doesn’t matter if you just act cool for 24 seconds.

Anyway, whoever fucks is the dog!

Anyway, I neither stick nor grab. If you have the ability, you can use your explosive power to pass me directly like Wade did. As long as you don't pass me directly, you have to shoot in front of me!

‘The ball retreats’ never takes a step forward!

It has to be said that Chen Xiao's method really annoys many players in the NBA, and of course it also makes players in the NBA like Ray Allen happy.

Ray Allen really likes Chen Xiao's defensive style. Every shot feels like an opportunity and an open space. This shot is so comfortable. It doesn't matter if Chen Xiao has a long wingspan, as long as he doesn't get blocked. , then there will be no impact.

McGrady doesn't have the shooting ability as strong as Ray Allen, nor the explosive power as Wade, but he is still different from Pierce, who was given a headache by Chen Xiao.

After Tracy McGrady made a little show, he made a beautiful retreat and then turned his back, leaving Chen Xiao behind who was in a state of 'fight and retreat'.

Chen Xiao has seen these moves from many people. Pierce, Payton, and many, many others have used such moves to beat him. The moves of these people are equally fancy and gorgeous, but when faced with Chen Xiao who is not shy, Xiao, after working on it for a long time, they were still in the same place most of the time.

But McGrady gave him directly!

This is amazing!

For a player who is more than two meters tall, such dexterous dribbling movements, such excellent dribbling skills, and such powerful explosive power and speed are really incredible.

"Chen, I think Tracy McGrady is the most perfect player I have ever seen!"

Chen Xiao suddenly thought of Wade's answer when he asked Wade which player in the NBA was the most perfect during a night chat with him some time ago.

What surprised Chen Xiao was that Wade answered not his idol Jordan, but McGrady.

Now, Chen Xiao somewhat understood.

"Is he the path I will take in the future?!"

Chen Xiao was very excited looking at McGrady's handsome back.

After passing Chen Xiao, he faced Martin who jumped out to help defend and Chen Xiao who chased back from behind.

Under the attack of two people, McGrady directly lifted up and threw the basketball in his hand.

A confident group!

A cool batch!

It was as if Chen Xiao behind him and Martin in front were nothing.

The height of McGrady's shot indeed made Chen Xiao and Martin, who were flanking McGrady, really look at the ball with excitement.

Chen Xiao caught up from behind. After an emergency stop and take-off, he was stuck by McGrady in the air and was unable to block the shot. Martin in front was also unable to block the shot as McGrady leaned back slightly.

Chen Xiao felt that McGrady's shot was almost like McGrady was performing a shooting demonstration for him and Martin.

So amazing!

The double attack between him and Martin was directly beaten into the air by McGrady!

"Amazing!"

This is the second time Chen Xiao has been directly defeated by Tracy McGrady in this game!

With McGrady's skills and talent, Chen Xiao's "ball retreat" defense is really not that impressive.

Bang!

Chen Xiao, who was shocked by McGrady's cool and handsome attack, was brought back to reality by the sound of a heavy iron strike.

"..."

Looking at the rebound under the basket that was protected by Boozer, McGrady was stunned for a moment.

Martin and Chen Xiao, who were before and after Tracy McGrady, were also stunned for a moment.

Missed again? !

Chen Xiao was not happy at this time.

As a person who likes the beauty of basketball, Chen Xiao feels that McGrady's strike is really a pity.

It felt like Maradona passed through N people and finally hit the post with his shot.

For Chen Xiao, he even hoped that Tracy McGrady could hit the ball.

In this case, this goal can definitely become a classic goal in the history of basketball.

"What a shame, this is the most beautiful blacksmith I've ever seen."

After Chen Xiao finished speaking with a look of pity, Martin and McGrady next to him both looked at him in disbelief.

Martin's eyes seemed to be saying, Chen, are you a fool?

McGrady, on the other hand, was quite surprised.

This kid...

After McGrady took a deep look at Chen Xiao, he turned back to defend.

However, when returning to defense, he looked at his hands with some confusion.

Something about the hands felt wrong tonight.

In the difficult double attack just now, his shooting percentage is very good this season, and the rhythm just now is very good.

Based on the state of this season and the rhythm just now, although this ball is very difficult, the probability of hitting it feels like at least 70%.

But in the end, the iron was struck.

"Chen, were you serious just now? Do you really hope that Tracy McGrady's shot just now can hit?"

"With such a beautiful offense, wouldn't it be a pity to beat the iron?"

After Chen Xiao finished speaking, Martin was completely speechless.

He really can't understand this kind of beginner's brain circuit now.

So strange!

Chen Xiao ignored the speechless Martin, but thought secretly in his heart.

"I must practice shooting diligently in the future. I hope that when I can make offensive moves like Tracy McGrady in the future, I can score all those beautiful attacks."

Tracy McGrady's opening two irons not only allowed Chen Xiao to see the most beautiful irons of his career, but also allowed Chen Xiao to learn something.

Just like playing football, passing skills are very important. However, if you want to be the king of passing, you should definitely not die through passing!

“So refine your shooting and passing!”

If McGrady can become the league's current scoring leader, there will definitely be no problem with his shooting, but compared to his talent and skills, his shooting is definitely not that good.

If McGrady could shoot better, how much better would he be?

Chen Xiao didn’t dare to continue imagining it!

Of course, Tracy McGrady would not know at this time that his ironwork in this game could help Chen Xiao understand so many truths.

On the court, the New Jersey Nets continued to attack. After Kidd pushed the ball through half court, he looked at Chen Xiao, who was tightly entangled by Tracy McGrady, and directed Boozer to pull him out to pick and roll him. After pulling out Mike Miller, Kidd did not hit the ball to Boozer's hands, but directly hit the ball to Martin, who was trying to get a position with Kemp inside.

Facing Kemp's tonnage, Martin certainly couldn't resist forcefully. With a deft turn, he directly passed Kemp who could only squirm behind him.

Bang!

Martin, who passed Kemp, faced Grant Hill who came from the wing to help defend. Instead of a layup, he chose to dunk.

Martin's offense is so comfortable!

As a little Garnett who can do everything, he just likes to play against players with major flaws.

Not to mention the East fat Kemp, even the West fat O'Neal, if he is not careful, he will explode in the finals.

As long as you give Martin a chance, Martin can really beat you to death!

In this year's NBA Finals, although the Nets lost in the finals, Martin's performance was still remarkable. He could not shoulder the responsibility of the team's main offense, but he scored 17 points in a single quarter in the finals.

Little Garnett, who knows everything, is best suited for this kind of sneak attack.

6 to 0!

In the game between the Nets and the Magic, the Magic were beaten 6-0 by the Nets at the beginning. Kemp, a center with major flaws, was spit out by Martin.

On the sidelines, as the head coach of the Magic, how could Doc Reeves tolerate this?

He quickly requested a pause.

After the timeout, the Magic brought up white center Burke, who was shot 9-for-9 by Yao Ming.

Burke's defense also has problems, but it can't be worse than Kemp, right?

Martin went crazy after the start of this game.

A guy who can score 17 points in a single quarter and 35 points in the game against Austria in the finals, sneak up on you Camp, sneak up on 30 or 40 points, isn't that easy?

If the Magic wants to win this game, they must make good use of McGrady's offensive advantages while also minimizing the team's unnecessary points loss.

The Magic continued to attack. McGrady, who had missed two previous attacks, did not suffer any impact on his self-confidence. However, this time, McGrady did not hold the ball and changed his offensive method.

It has to be said that McGrady has many offensive methods.

Grant Hill broke through and found McGrady. McGrady made a direct pull-up from the corner on the left side of the free throw line, but was blocked by Chen Xiao and forced the shot.

Seeing McGrady's offense, while Chen Xiao lamented that McGrady has many tricks, he actually wanted to complain.

With his fight-and-retreat defense, McGrady doesn't actually need to rely on his teammates' breakthroughs to create shooting opportunities. As long as he wants to, there will be plenty of opportunities.

Anyway, Chen Xiao's defense is definitely not close to the body. If he wants to take action, he can do anything.

Maybe McGrady felt that it was inappropriate for the ball to end in his own hands, and let his teammates hold the ball. At least, if he hits, Hill can also count as an assist?

I have to say that McGrady is still a very particular person.

Even though she knew it was a matter of taking off her pants and farting, Maddie still did it.

And the final result...

Bang!

Holding the ball and making two irons, this time I changed to a more flexible catching and attacking method, and I hit the iron again!

Three consecutive singles and three consecutive strikes, this really confused McGrady.

In fact, many NBA experts are a little unbelievable at this time.

McGrady is in such good shape this season, and it's rare to have three consecutive irons like this.

Moreover, in these three attacks, the Nets were always one-on-one with McGrady and Chen Xiao!

Except for Martin's helpless defense, McGrady was never flanked.

However, this season's singles champion failed in three consecutive singles matches against Chen Xiao!

"Tracy McGrady's touch was very poor in this game?"

"T-Mac has played almost 20 games. In which game has his hand felt so bad?"

"If it's not that McGrady's touch is so bad, then it's that Wonder Boy's 'ball retreat' defense is very useful?"

This is somewhat unacceptable.

NBA experts and celebrities have great disdain for Chen Xiao's non-confrontational defense. What they like most is Artest's hard-hitting defense.

How can you be like Chen Xiao, who retreats and defends? You say you learned from your idol Garnett's "fight and then retreat", but your idol Garnett doesn't even admit that you learned from his defense.

However, this defensive method that they disdain the most, in this game, they defended Tracy McGrady, the most popular offensive player in the league, and the effect was surprisingly good.

"The game has just begun, McGrady must still be adjusting to his condition!"

"It must be like this, McGrady must be adjusting his condition!"

While many NBA experts and experts from the TNT studio were still looking forward to something, the Nets continued to attack on the court.

After the Magic replaced big white center Burke, Martin's advantage in the paint was indeed not that big. However, because Martin's first three attacks cast too big a shadow on the Magic, this time on defense, the Magic held back a little too much.

Martin suppressed the inside, and Boozer pulled out to block McGrady for Chen Xiao. Kidd passed the ball hand-to-hand to Chen Xiao and then continued to cover, helping Chen Xiao cover Mike Miller. After that, Chen Xiao faced Ron Howard's defense took another shot from beyond the three-point line.

The rhythm this time has been outstanding.

A swipe!

Three point hit!

9 to 0!

The Nets' advantage in this game is still growing. This is Chen Xiao's second shot in this game.

Because the Magic's inside line is so poor, their defense is very disconnected inside and outside. In this game, Chen Xiao will have many opportunities to fire from long distances.

Facing the current deficit on the court, Douglas Reeves once again requested a timeout.

He didn't expect the Magic to have such a difficult start in this game.

He knows the strength gap between the Magic and Nets.

There is some gap in strength between the two teams.

But it shouldn’t be this big!

There is no doubt that the Magic were beaten by the Nets as soon as they started. Doc Reeves was worried that his players would have psychological problems, so he had to ask for timeouts continuously.

This time's request for a timeout is to strengthen the confidence of his team's players.

For example, McGrady missed all three shots.

He needs McGrady to continue his determined offense.

After all, when Hill can't exert too much force and can only be Pippen, McGrady is their Jordan.

After the timeout, Tracy McGrady seemed like an elegant butterfly among flowers, constantly impressing the beauty-loving Chen Xiao and the many Chinese and American viewers in front of the TV with his admiration and skills.

His elegant figure and cool and handsome movements constantly caused waves of exclamations in front of the TV.

"I have never seen so many handsome, dashing...irons!"

Watching McGrady's performance on TV, many viewers in front of the TV were stunned.

At the scene, faced with McGrady's touch in the first quarter, Chen Xiao, Ron Howard, Nets players, Magic players, and even McGrady himself were stunned!

In the first quarter, the game was 0 for 6, and he only scored 3 points with free throws!

Opposite him, Chen Xiao also took 6 shots, scoring 3 of 6 and scoring 7 points.

In the second quarter, McGrady obviously strengthened his breakthrough, but because the Magic did not have a reliable shooter, and McGrady's touch was also very bad, it was difficult for McGrady to kill him to the end, and most of them still had to shoot.

2 of 7. Compared with the first quarter, the shooting rate is slightly better, but the performance of 2 of 7 and scoring 4 points in a single quarter is far from his performance as the scoring champion this season.

On the opposite side, Chen Xiao made 4 of 6 and scored 9 points.

In the third quarter, after half-time adjustments, McGrady once again changed his offensive method, causing damage through continuous breakthroughs, and then adjusting his feel through free throws. This effect is there.

In the third quarter, McGrady scored a game-high 9 points in a single quarter.

However, the hit rate is still quite miserable at 2-for-7.

Chen Xiao, who was facing him on the opposite side, took advantage of the Magic's poor inside line. Martin suppressed it by himself, constantly pulling Boozer out of the pick-and-roll to create opportunities for him. In the third quarter, he once again made 4 of 6 and won. It’s 9 minutes!

Section 4...

Ahem, the scores in the first three quarters of this game were 21 to 34, 17 to 34, and 27 to 35 respectively. In the first three quarters, the Magic had lost by 38 points, so in this game, McGrady did not have the fourth quarter.

If there is a fourth quarter, McGrady will definitely change his offensive method. I wonder if he will call a pick-and-roll?

However, even if McGrady wants to call a pick-and-roll, can the Magic's weak inside line be able to pick-and-roll for him?

This is a question, and no one knows this question.

At the end of the game, the Nets defeated the Magic at home with a score of 131-88.

The Nets are stronger than the Magic, that's for sure, but the 43-point difference between the two teams in this game is still incredible.

Especially McGrady, who has performed very well this season and has always wanted to be in the headlines, actually made 4 of 20 in this game and only scored 16 points. This is something that many people have never thought about.

The rookie Chen Xiao opposite McGrady made 11 of 18 shots and scored 25 points in three quarters. This was also unexpected.

"After this game, McGrady and Wonder Boy will probably make headlines at the same time!"

A national game, a league superstar and a league rookie, the data contrast is so huge, this is bound to make headlines.

Because this game reminds people of the battle between Pierce and Chen Xiao.

What's more, McGrady's level is much higher than Pierce.

To be honest, McGrady was really unlucky in this game.

McGrady's shots in this game seemed to have been blocked, with 16 irons in 20 shots, and that was in 3 quarters.

Although the most iron game of his career was 24 irons against the Spurs in February this year, in this game with the Spurs, he shot 12 of 36. Although he had a lot of irons, his shooting rate was still acceptable, 33.3%.

But in this game against the Nets, I only shot 20%...

His movements are so beautiful, but no matter how he shoots, he doesn't.

On the opposite side, Chen Xiao just refused to get one-on-one with him. He frantically called for screens and frantically looked for pick-and-rolls, leaving him unable to do anything.

The best way to break screens and pick-and-rolls is to delay inside, like Garnett or Duncan, who are magic weapons to break pick-and-roll screens.

But players like the Magic's Kemp and Dabai Burke are 'ghost weapons' that break pick-and-roll screens. They can't move even if they are pressed by Martin. He can only watch himself and the team being beaten by Chen Xiaohe. The Nets shot to death.

McGrady has always wanted to be in the headlines, but getting the opportunity to be in the headlines in this way was something McGrady didn't expect.

However, after the game, McGrady still spoke highly of Chen Xiao.

"He is an outstanding young player. He has unparalleled energy. At the same time, he plays very smart. In this game, he and the Nets kicked our butts hard. We exposed a lot of problems in this game. We need to address these issues and see what happens next."

McGrady's face was ugly, and everyone could see it. Obviously, he was not dissatisfied with Chen Xiao. The look in Chen Xiao's eyes that wanted him to hit the ball more than him during the game shocked McGrady.

He had a good feeling about this 'wonder boy'.

He is simply dissatisfied with his team.

If, just if, if Duncan came to the Magic, why would he be shot to death by Chen Xiao's constant pick-and-roll?

"TMC, don't be discouraged in this game. There are people who are just like us and are dissatisfied with the status quo."

"who?"

Maddie was stunned when she heard Grant Hill say that name with his gentlemanly smile.

This man's name shocked him even more than him making headlines in this way.

If my offense had his pick-and-roll screens...

If my defense had his delay…

This time, can it work?

ps: In history, in this game, McGrady played the most iron-clad game in his peak period. The historical score of the game between the Nets and the Magic was 121 to 88, which was quite miserable. No matter how hard he shot, there were no shots. It was quite magical.
