Super Lord of the Rings

McGrady singled out Wang Jun again, turned around, pulled the ball and retreated, and made an emergency stop for a jumper. 12 to 16.

It is impossible to prevent McGrady by confrontation alone. His offensive method is not complicated, but he can evade the defense.

The Nets attacked, Wang Jun ran at full speed, and the man who changed his defense became Girisek.

This change, of course, is to reduce McGrady's physical exertion.

Kidd immediately yelled at Kittles, "Rick, run."

Kittles understood and began to run at full speed.

Kidd yelled at Martin again: "Support!"

Then, he passed to the middle of the pick-and-roll.

Martin received Kidd's guidance, mainly to support the pass. An insider who can only grab rebounds and score is unqualified, especially an insider with excellent athletic ability like Martin. Not practicing dribbling and passing is a waste of talent.

Martin took a step with the ball in one hand, and Howard hurriedly caught up to resist the man. It would definitely not work to rely on Tyronn Lue to prevent dislocations.

Martin passed the ball to Kidd who ran to the right corner, Tyronn Lue chased and Kidd gave Kittles 70 degrees on the right.

McGrady was screened off, switched to Collins, and let Andrew chase.

Kittles didn't shoot or break through. He moved one + °C, one step, and passed it to Wang Jun who ran to the low post on the right.

Wang Jun stretched out his long arms and took down the basketball. He was already in the penalty area, his muscles tightened and squeezed Girisek, and he turned to the baseline.

Girisek also weighs 95 kilograms. He doesn't like confrontation and now he has to confront, otherwise the opponent will score easily.

The muscles of Wang Jun's upper body were tense, and he grasped the ball with both hands as if grabbing a rebound. After bending his knees, he took off with all his strength. Jumping to the highest point and shooting with both hands, Girisek didn't bounce well. Can only squeeze as much as possible, not covered. The ball goes in. 14 to 16.

Zhang Lili shouted: "It's terrible, Wang Jun scored 10 points with Mai Dibiao at the beginning of the game. Girisek is still suspected of fouling the ball, and the referee didn't call it."

"We still have to think of ways to defend against McGrady. I'm afraid Wang Jun himself won't be able to defend himself."

Lawrence knew that Wang Jun couldn't defend, as long as he could reduce the efficiency, so he arranged a single defense, and McGrady only double-teamed when he broke through.

The Nets used the "Jordan Rule" on McGrady,

Simply put, it is a resolute single defense. Strive to defend the other 4 players to the death. Even if McGrady scores more points and his teammates score very low, the Magic will still lose.

McGrady also wants to lead his teammates, but his teammates are very poor in offensive ability with the ball. Unless McGrady attracts double-teams and distributes the ball to open positions, the efficiency will not be high.

At the beginning of the season, McGrady tried to change, but until now, he found that the opponent only needs to use this defensive strategy. Still can only rely on oneself.

McGrady asked for the ball from outside the three-point line, leaned his back against Wang Jun, turned to face the frame, and made an emergency stop for a jump shot. Wang Jun tried to jump up and close his eyes, but the ball flew to the basket before his hands reached his eyes. Still go in. 14 to 18.

McGrady scored 18 points, a terrifying shooting performance.

If only he felt this way in the audience. I don't know how many points to score.

Wang Jun moves from outside to inside. This time it attracted Howard to shrink the defense, Kidd scored the ball in the middle, and Martin made an emergency stop and made a jumper. 16 to 18.

When McGrady made another pull-up shot, the ball finally missed. Wang Jun immediately made a fast break, and McGrady had to keep up.

Wang Jun got to the bottom line and then ran to the perimeter. McGrady didn't follow, because Martin beat Howard in the middle race, caught the ball and rushed towards the basket.

McGrady defended the basket, Martin took advantage of the situation and gave the ball to the right, and Wang Jun was empty. Howard followed Martin's buttocks, and it was not too late to defend the corner after seeing the ball.

Wang Jun made an open jumper with perfect rhythm and just the right strength, and the three-pointer hit the needle. 19 to 18.

Seeing the Nets overtake, Yu Jia heaved a sigh of relief. "In the third three-pointer of the first quarter, Wang Jun scored his 13th point. He was too strong this time, and the Nets took the lead for the first time."

"Other Magicians have to stand up, they can't win this way." Zhang Lili laughed.

McGrady knows that he must let his teammates open, pass the ball immediately after receiving the ball, and wait for opportunities outside the three-point line.

Tyronn Lue and Howard picked and rolled, broke through and split the ball. Howard was caught by Kidd in the middle, and passed inside to the basket. Andrew singled Collins, turned around and missed the hook.

Collins squeezed him beyond the three-point line, and the hook was too far away.

Wang Jun made a fast break and ran in the front again. Kidd grabbed a rebound and gave it to Kittles, who brought it to the frontcourt to Martin.

Just after halftime, Collins set a 70-degree screen for Wang Jun on the right to block McGrady. Andrew retreated directly to the inside.

The shot missed, but Martin grabbed the offensive rebound and distributed it to Kidd on the outside to organize again. Wang Jun ran to the left again.

Andrew and Collins went to the low post, McGrady could only chase Wang Jun, and Kidd passed Kittles, reducing the offensive rhythm.

Once the offensive rebound is grabbed, the offensive team will have 24 seconds of attack time again, and Wang Jun begins to circle McGrady on the field.

With 24 seconds approaching, Kittles received the ball in an air cut and made a layup. 21 to 18.

Magic coach Jonny Davis finally requested a timeout.

This timeout was obviously too late. The Magic once led by 10 points, but now they are overtaken by 3 points, and their morale has been seriously hit.

Johnny is just a coach in the transition period. Rivers, who led the Magic to the playoffs three times in a row, can't do anything with this lineup, and he has no idea to improve the defense.

Johnny called the timeout because he was forced to, and he didn't want to show his incompetence.

"Tracy, if Wang Jun is defending, you can directly single out from the outside. I believe you can throw the ball in, attract double-teams and then split the ball. Others run around the outside to find opportunities, and the inside has no ball to cover... …Drew on, Andrew off."

Johnny drew on the tactical board, the tactics were simple, and his response was to strengthen the offense.

Drew Gooden has a mid-range shooting ability, good offensive skills and footwork at the basket, and a tough style of play. He was selected by the Grizzlies with the fourth overall pick in the first round last season and was selected to the All-Rookie Team.

However, he is a player with strong offense and weak defense, and his defense is average. It is also difficult to limit the Nets' running and fast break.

McGrady listened to the coach's arrangement, expressionless.

As a leader, he seldom expresses his opinions, and he will not yell at his teammates like Kidd did on the court, asking them to adjust.

When Rivers was there, he always felt that McGrady played "too alone" and McGrady didn't like to hear it.

Now that Rivers is gone, Johnny let McGrady play casually, and the team couldn't win. Not only was he unhappy, but he also felt a little slack.

The game continued, and the Nets played more aggressively. McGrady fouled when he rushed to the basket, and sent him a free throw to prevent him from scoring easily. On the outside, Wang Jun didn't have the ball to fight close to him, and McGrady didn't let McGrady get the ball comfortably.

McGrady's running for the ball is also exhausting.

The Nets led 33-31 in the first quarter.

McGrady scored 26 points personally, others only Howard scored 2 points, Girisek scored 2 points.

The Nets blossomed more, and Wang Jun scored the most.

In the positional battle, Wang Jun kept running. After throwing off the defense, Gooden didn't switch defenses in time. He scored a 45-degree mid-range shot from the right.

At the last minute, Wang Jun counterattacked and met Tailong Lu in a dislocation, won a foul, made two free throws, scored 17 points in a single quarter, and set a personal record.

In the second quarter, Jefferson played with a substitute and formed an outside line with Lucios and Korver. The inside line was Williams and Collins, who could both attack and defend.

The Magic can only rely on Gooden and veteran point guard Rod Strickland to attack, and the point difference gradually widens. (To be continued..)
