NBA: Becoming stronger starts with hard work and mastery

The ball was thrown into the air, and the opponent was caught in a trap.

McGrady looked at the open space given by Sean Elliott, and no longer hesitated. He put the ball in his hands and jumped up!

It was so high!

Even if Sean Elliott, who was 2.01 meters tall, didn't take this step at the first time, it would be impossible to interfere even if he was defending closely!

"Swish"!

A three-pointer went into the bag steadily!

Sean Elliott's face was darkened by the face shot.

Yes, that's it! I have to have an offensive threat, I have to make the opponent have to come forward to defend me, only in this way can I play the role of stretching the defense, otherwise these guys will be able to fight Han Yi anytime and anywhere, which is absolutely unacceptable to us.

McGrady smiled and said, "You can make it bigger next time. I was just confused this time!"

Follow whoever you follow. McGrady didn't like to talk when playing. Now that he scored a good goal, he felt uncomfortable if he didn't scold his opponent.

Sean Elliott, who watched McGrady hit the ball beautifully, began to feel a little embarrassed.

His defensive strategy was arranged by Popovich before the game, and he did it well. But the premise of this is that McGrady didn't make the shot. If he did, he would still have to take the blame!

But at this time, Popovich didn't scold him, but encouraged him abnormally: "Well done, well done, keep going, unless he can keep hitting, otherwise we shouldn't change the strategy!"

The Spurs know better than any other team that Han Yi is the only reason why the Celtics can transform from a super bad team that the Spurs can't beat even if they try their best to play badly to a top NBA championship team!

Just like the Spurs selected Duncan, which allowed the San Antonio Spurs, who joined the NBA in 1976, to stand on the NBA Finals stage for the first time in history.

This is something that the former top superstars George Gervin and Admiral David Robinson in the history of the Spurs have never done.

But when he thought of this, Popovich felt heartbroken for some reason. On the night of the 1997 draft, Popovich personally selected Tim Duncan, the savior of the Spurs that he had longed for. He should not have any regrets!

But the damn thing is that in that draft, there was not only Duncan, but also Han Yi, the Chinese devil who blew up the entire NCAA as soon as he debuted!

Obviously Tim Duncan is already terribly strong, but compared with Han Yi, there is a gap, and it is visible to the naked eye. It is a gap between the top stars in the NBA and the top stars!

Of course, no one dared to tell Duncan about this, not even Popovich. Han Yi had become a thorn in the side of the silent Duncan!

He could not be told or touched. Whenever he faced Han Yi, Duncan would go crazy!

Duncan took the ball with one hand, and with a fake move, he shook off the center of gravity of Ben Wallace. Without waiting for the Celtics to make up for the defense, he raised his hand and shot high, making another dunk!

Which teenager is not frivolous?

Tim Duncan, 23 years old, with a intact meniscus, would never consider a layup as long as he could dunk!

Especially when facing the Boston Celtics, the energy in his body was so strong that no one needed to say a word, Duncan was already full of killing intent!

Turning back, the Celtics attacked!

When the ball came to McGrady again, Sean Elliott actually started to provoke him:

"Hey, sophomore, you can try to score another goal!"

However, McGrady thought it was boring and was ready to follow the coach's tactical arrangement, but Stephen Jackson said:

"Hey, T-mac, you must not be timid at this time, you have to pass the ball, you can't raise your head in front of him in this game, beat him, beat him until he surrenders!"

"Hey, Stephen," McGrady disagreed, This is not my style, I am not you!"

As he said this, McGrady passed the ball to Han Yi, who had already suffocated David Robinson in the paint. However, unexpectedly, as soon as the ball reached Han Yi's hands, Han Yi directly handed the ball back:

"Hit him!"

"Ah, Boss, you do the same?"

McGrady was stunned. He gave up the best opportunity and instead gave the ball to himself who was being defended by a single defender. McGrady began to be confused again:

"I've already prepared to open up the defense and give the best chance to score.

The offensive opportunity was given to the boss, why did the boss pass the ball back? Do you want to see me in a one-on-one duel? "

McGrady thought so in his heart, but he couldn't stop working, because Sean Elliot had completely lowered his body and came close to him.

Of course, what Stephen Jackson and Han Yi said to McGrady was not only heard by McGrady, but Sean Elliot also heard it clearly!

"Hey, kid, just shoot," Sean Elliot smiled maliciously. His defense was already complete, and he didn't believe that this sophomore rookie had any chance!

McGrady had no choice. He tried to step forward continuously and found that he didn't find Sean Elliot's defensive flaws. He had no choice but to use a pull-up shot again!

But this time The air was gone, and the basketball spun around the basket and rolled out.

Tim Duncan wanted to jump up to grab the rebound, but Ben Wallace's heavy weight made Duncan unable to jump, and then he could only watch Han Yi grab the rebound and complete an extremely easy, completely undefended pass? ?

Han Yi actually passed the ball again, and passed it to McGrady who had just missed the shot?

This time McGrady got the ball again, although he was even more surprised, because he saw with his own eyes that Han Yi gave up another dunk opportunity that Han Yi could say was a 100% hit rate and passed the ball out!

But the whole person was much calmer than before, although McGrady was not He understood why Han Yi wanted to do this, but he also understood that Han Yi wanted to show the world how powerful he was!

McGrady held the ball high with one hand and suddenly took a step forward with his right foot. Sean Elliott had no choice but to take a half step back. Although the world didn't know how fast McGrady's first step was, Sean Elliott, as a 31-year-old veteran, knew that it was extremely stupid to compete with young people in terms of starting speed.

So Sean Elliott tried his best to cover McGrady on the one hand, and on the other hand, he defended the strong side and left the weak side empty, leaving a little buffer space to prevent McGrady's sudden breakthrough.

But McGrady saw Elliott The defensive position, suddenly retracted his feet, held the ball, jumped high, and stretched out his hands!

The transition of this scene was so smooth that although Sean Elliott had been prepared for this move in his mind, he was still a little flustered when he saw McGrady shooting.

It was impossible to block McGrady's shooting arc, but Sean Elliott's big hand did not let McGrady go at all, and a slap on McGrady's forearm and head came down from the sky!

With a "thump" sound!

McGrady was slapped to the ground, but McGrady did not feel any pain at this moment, and his eyes were still following the basketball spinning and sliding in the air!

"Shua!!!"

The three-pointer went into the net!!

The referee looked at the scorer and indicated: The goal is valid, and there will be an additional penalty!!
