The yellow storm in the NBA

If you look at the trade between the Hawks and the Rockets from the current perspective, there is no doubt that the Hawks suffered a big loss. But who didn’t have a God’s perspective at the time could have predicted that Quan Xiao could play such a powerful game

performance?

Although Tracy McGrady has begun to decline, he is still 80% to 90% as strong as he was at his peak. The Hawks also want to seize the tail of his peak and make a breakthrough in the East. Who would have expected that the Celtics would create a Big Three combination, and now everyone

Everyone knows that in recent years, the Celtics have probably played the leading role in the Eastern Conference.

The Hawks' current record is 29 wins and 18 losses, ranking fourth in the Eastern Conference. Moreover, they have defeated the Celtics before, so they are still very capable when they break out.

McGrady has played 41 games so far, averaging 35.3 minutes per game, scoring 23.3 points, 6.2 assists and 5.8 rebounds. He is still an All-Star.

In the original time and space, this season was Tracy McGrady's final peak, and the next season he fell off a cliff. He was reduced from an All-Star player to an ordinary rotation player, and finally even became a role player, and came to the CBA for a full circle.

The Hawks also have a player who averages 20 points per game, and he is Joe Johnson. Currently averaging 22.1 points per game, he is an underrated scorer.

Yi Jianlian's performance with the Hawks is much better than Yuan Shikong's performance with the Bucks. He has now firmly established himself as the starting power forward for the Hawks. He has played 47 times for the Hawks this season, starting 19 games, averaging 1.0 points per game.

In 27.6 minutes, he scored 10.8 points and 6.1 rebounds.

This game is not a very important game, but it was still selected to be broadcast live in the United States, and this game was broadcast live by ESPN.

"Hey, Reggie, do you think the Hawks have any hope of interrupting the Rockets' winning streak today? They have also defeated the Celtics before, and they are still very capable when they explode." Mike Breen was the first to ask.

"No, they have no chance! The Rockets are much stronger than them. The addition of Andre Miller makes the Rockets' No. 1 position no longer a shortcoming. Moreover, he also allows the Chinese rookies to no longer have to worry about the organization and can fully

Unleash his offensive talents."

"Mark, what do you think?" Brin turned to ask another commentator, Mark Jackson, for his opinion.

"I have the same point of view as Reggie. Unless the Rockets are all cold today, the Hawks really have no chance. The Rockets' lineup is weak at the fourth position, but the Hawks have limited strength at the fourth position and cannot seize this opportunity.

Click to make a fuss.”

"Well, it seems that the Eagles are indeed not favored! But we can't say anything until the game is played. Maybe everyone in the Eagles broke out today?"

The Rockets starting lineup is: Yao Ming, Scola, Battier, Quan Xiao, Miller

The starting lineup of the Hawks is: Pachulia, Yi Jianlian, Tracy McGrady, Joe Johnson, Anthony Johnson

Before the game, Tracy McGrady came over to the Rockets to catch up with his old teammates, and Yi Jianlian also came over to chat with Yao Ming and Quan Xiao for a few minutes.

But during the game, all the harmony was gone. Everyone was fighting for almost every ball in order to win, and McGrady showed a thousand percent attitude.

He was very unhappy with the Rockets trading him. It was very shameful for a superstar to be used as a bargaining chip in the transaction, but the Rockets just did it. Even though Quan Xiao's extraordinary ability was now proven, McGrady still felt

It feels very awkward.

But what can't happen in the NBA, a business league? It's just that players and team owners are antagonistic after all, and their positions are destined to be unable to be unified. The owners only care about their own interests, and the players, in addition to their own interests, also pursue honors for promotion.

its own historical position.

So McGrady was holding his breath. He really wanted to perform well in front of his old club in order to slap them in the face. It would be best to defeat them at their home court and break their winning streak.

Therefore, the excited Tracy McGrady seemed to be back at his peak. He started to surge at the beginning of the game, constantly pulling out from outside the three-point line. Quan Xiao tried his best and was unable to completely stop his offensive.

Quan Xiao simply stopped defending and directly attacked him, and also used pull-up three-pointers to counter his pull-up three-pointers. It was clear that he had to fight to the end to see who had a higher shooting percentage.

"Haha, this game is interesting! Tracy seems to have some resentment towards the Rockets, so he played very hard from the beginning, which makes us seem to see the high-spirited Magic No. 1 who won two scoring titles in his peak period."

"That's right

Yes, McGrady is indeed very motivated and probably wants to prove that he can still play well. He probably wants to use a victory to slap the Rockets management in the face!"

"But to be honest, Quan's defense is very good, but McGrady's touch is so good, the basket is probably the ocean in his eyes!"

"Oh, hey, I'm going against Tracy, but I still use McGrady's signature three-pointer. Good guy, he is indeed an interesting rookie. I wonder who of the two can have the last laugh?"

"The two were evenly matched in the first quarter. Tracy made 7 of 9 shots, including 4 of 5 three-pointers. Quan Xiao made 7 of 8 shots, 3 of 4 three-pointers, and Quan Xiao had two more

Wonderful breakthrough dunk!”

"I estimate that McGrady's performance will drop in the second quarter because his body may not be able to support him playing in the same state as in the first quarter. He is a famous physical monster. It is said that his physical fitness is the best on their team.

OK."

"The second quarter of the game has started, and it's rotation time. The Rockets will let Quan lead the rotation as always. The Hawks can't let Tracy McGrady rest. In this way, China Quan will have the upper hand!"

As the game started in the second quarter, the Hawks did not let McGrady continue to play, and did not replace him until the fifth minute. Quan Xiao was replaced by Adelman, because at this time the Rockets were already leading by 13

point.

McGrady's performance was still high after he came on the court, but his touch may have been affected by taking a break and was not as hot. After the second quarter, he finally made 3 of 6 shots and scored 28 points at halftime.

Quan Xiao had unlimited firepower as the main offensive point during the rotation. He scored 12 points in five minutes and 34 points at halftime. His firepower was even more than Tracy McGrady.

"It's such a pity that in the second quarter, t-mac and China Quan's playing time was completely staggered, which made the game not so exciting! I hope that in the second half of the game, the two of them can have more time on the court at the same time, so that the game will be more exciting.

There’s something to see.”

"There will definitely be a long period of time in the second half when the two of them are on the court at the same time. After all, the two teams are only 8 points apart now, and both have a chance to win. They will definitely strive for victory."

"Then let's wait and see!"
