I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 128: Even if the iron is struck, it is also a chic strike!

This season, McGrady wants to make headlines. This is no joke.

Was dug from the Raptors to the Magic in the 00-01 season, Tracy McGrady was originally going to be Pippen here in Grant Hill.

Finally, because of Grant Hill’s injury, he, Pippen, used it as'Jordan'. In the first season of the Magic, McGrady entered the top ten of the NBA scoring list, establishing the team in one fell swoop. The location of the head.

In the following 01-02 years, McGrady made persistent efforts and once again reached the top ten in the scoring list. In one fell swoop, he became the fourth guard to reach the top ten in the scoring list for two consecutive years after Iverson, Kobe and Carter.

Coupled with Jordan's comeback this season, many media are comparing them with Jordan as the representatives of the new generation of shooting guards.

Therefore, although there is no official name, among the fans, the four young defenders who are hotly discussed in the media have the ‘fourth major’.

East Essico, South McCormick, North Carolina.

There is no doubt that in these four major points, McGrady belongs to the latecomer.

Because before Jordan retired for the second time, Iverson had already reached the top ten in scoring.

Iverson was the first to become famous among the four major guards, standing at the top of the list.

Immediately after reaching the top ten in the scoring list, Carter shocked the world as soon as he appeared and stood out.

Then came him and Kobe, both of whom started off the bench and fell behind a little bit.

But in comparison, Kobe is surrounded by the big tree of O'Fat and the big stage of Los Angeles. As long as the strength is natural, the speed of the rise is just right. Now, the star of the league's key promotion is Kobe, standing in a league push.

Compared with these people, Medina is really miserable.

I didn't rely on anything, just relying on my own big hands to kill all the way.

I have to say that McGrady is also really striving.

This season when Iverson and Carter were tired of the environment, Kobe lost O'Fat, and the three points were in trouble, McGrady suddenly emerged. Throughout November this season, McGrady averaged 32 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.3 blocks per game.

Regardless of quantity, output, or even team performance, it is higher than the other three quintiles.

And in the direct match, McGrady also even cut Iverson and Kobe.

It can be said that McGrady this season is in full swing.

Under such circumstances, it is difficult for you to keep McGrady pure and unwilling.

Putting anyone in the position of McGrady will feel that the sky in the league guard position should change?

Is it time to end the era when Iverson is the top quartile?

My TMC, now the world's number one!

No. 1 in the world, should there be a ranking and attention degree of No. 1 in the world?

McGrady thinks it's his turn in the perimeter era of the league now.

But it's a pity.

This season, his strength is surging. Who to see and destroy who, but in terms of attention, McGrady always feels that he is a little bit worse.

It's not that there is no attention, but that there is no such large array of circles around the entire league.

In terms of gossip, Kobe deserves the first place in attention this season and is highly praised by the league. With the OK soap opera and the background of Los Angeles, even if the Lakers record is poor, Kobe has always been on the headlines.

In terms of record, the player with the most attention this season is of course Kidd, who was the best of the month last month, and Kidd took a firm hold. For this season's MVP, many media have already created momentum for Kidd.

McGrady wants to stand in the center of the stage and wants to get attention that matches his strength.

But every time, a little bit of the chain is lost, and there will always be many magical things to stop him, such as Barkley kissing Kenny Smith's **** in front of him.

He can encounter this kind of thing, do you think he is unlucky?

The probability of this happening is comparable to the probability of a 3-1 lead being reversed in the NBA playoffs!

December 7, 2002, New Jersey Continental Airlines Center Arena.

With 16 wins and 3 losses in the season, the New Jersey Nets, now ranked second in the East, play at home against the Orlando Magic, which has a pretty good 9-7 record this season.

Because I just came back from the West, charged up soon, and beat the Eagles again, so now the morale of the Nets is very good.

After leaving the West and returning to the East, everyone on the Nets felt that he was a hero again.

The focus of the Eastern Conference with the Magic is a nationally broadcast game.

National broadcast!

Every Nets player screamed excitedly.

You know, the All-Star voting has started for more than half a month, and the results of the first round of voting will be released in less than half a month.

The five starters of the Nets, except Boozer and Chen Xiao, everyone feels that they can make the NBA All-Star.

Everyone mentioned here is Martin and Richard Jefferson.

Because Kidd would have been able to enter.

Martin is averaging 15+9 per game this season. This data is very competitive in the position of the Eastern Conference center. Ben Wallace is too dry, Mutombo is too old, and Ilgauskas is too water. His data is better than these three. The player is not bad, the record is better, and the champion, Garnett, the style of the game is also beautiful, this year's All-Star did not make the starting line is simply sorry that he has worked so hard to switch to the center position this season.

By the way, there is also a young center with good data in the East, Yao Ming, who is also the top pick, but... can he be my opponent?

You are afraid that you are not teasing me!

As far as the Heat’s record and Yao Ming’s looks are concerned, is there my hero?

I just haha.

Martin felt that he was in this year's All-Star voting, which was a situation of flying dragons riding a face.

And Richard Jefferson feels that although his pressure is not small, the opportunity is also great.

Because Carter voted for the small forward position this time, he was born with a starter.

He will compete with O'Neal, Grant Hill and Walker in the remaining starter.

Richard Jefferson felt that he had a great advantage. Although Grant Hill was strong, it was not good to say. Who knows when he will fall again.

And little O'Neill...

Dream five...

Although O'Neal is not the number one war criminal, it is not a small stain.

In short, in this nationally broadcast game, McGrady sharpened the headlines, while Martin and Richard Jefferson of the Nets sharpened the All-Star starters.

As for Chen Xiao...

Chen Xiao is currently chatting with Ron Howard, the former Marquette teammate of the Magic.

I haven't seen it for a long time, I really miss it.

As one of the Marquette Three Eagles, Ron Howard did not have the eye-catching performance of Wade and Chen Xiao after he came to the NBA.

Wade is strong and Chen Xiao has a perfect environment for him.

And Ron Howard is leaning on both sides, not as strong as Wade, and the environment is not as good as Chen Xiao.

But because of the support of his elder brother Dou Grievous, Ron Howard won the position competition with Magic's veteran point guard 35-year-old Darrell Armstrong and became the team's first choice for point guards.

Why not call it the starting point guard?

Because the Magic have two strong ball-handling bosses, McGrady and Hill, sometimes, the Magic does not have the position of point guard.

McGrady and Hill play double guards together.

Therefore, when the Magic need to have the position of point guard, Ron Howard is the first candidate.

Therefore, in the Magic, Ron Howard's performance is also very good, half-starter and half-substitute 29 minutes, Ron Howard can average 9 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1.5 steals per game.

In addition to shooting only 40.5%, the three-point shooting rate is only 30%, this performance is first-rate for a rookie guard.

Especially that steals data.

The 1.96 meter Ron Howard is definitely a high point guard position. Following Chen Xiao's learning of possession and defense for so long, Ron Howard's dribbling ability and defensive ability are quite good even if he wins the NBA.

Therefore, the senior, Dou Grievous, would support him so much.

Because whether it's Dou Grievous, McGrady or Hill, they all think Ron Howard, the ‘dribbling guard’, is perfect.

No mistakes, defensive, offensive efficiency is not high, but can do everything, offensive everything means being able to pick up the pot, and can accept any pot.

And Ron Howard and his idol Grant Hill have very good personalities, both from the wealthy family, and there is almost no problem with their personalities.

This is not perfect, so what is perfect?

To put it bluntly, even if Doug Greaves is dismissed from the Magic, the next Magic coach will definitely not abandon Ron Howard.

Even if the head coach abandoned it, McGrady and Hill would not allow it.

So, don't look at Ron Howard in the Magic not as dazzling as those two Eagles, but in the NBA has also established a firm foothold.

The former Marquette University's Mitaka, after leaving the NCAA, all have a firm foothold in the NBA. This result can be compared to the Mitaka's previous five tigers.

The first three of the five tigers are also very good in the NBA.

However, Ron Howard is more concerned about Chen Xiao's situation in the Nets than he is in the Magic, just like Wade.

Chen Xiao always felt that Luo Ge and Wade were very worried about him.

Am I, Chen Xiao, such an inconvenient person?

Me, Chen Xiao, I'm very obedient, okay!

Looking at Chen Xiao and Ron Howard so tired together, the audience and the American audience and even the two teams of players on the field are normal.

But many Chinese viewers in front of the TV are very curious.

"Who is this person? Is Chen Xiao's friend?"

"Chen Xiao has so many friends in the NBA!"

Of course, at this time, Teacher Zhang needs to be on the stage.

"Before entering the NBA, Chen Xiao was a star player of the NCAA champion Marquette University last season. At that time, the champion Marquette University Golden Eagles had three star players. Two of them were Chen Xiao and Wade, who we are very familiar with, and the other one. It is Ron Howard, the No. 30 player of the Magic. Chen Xiao and Ron Howard had a good relationship when they were in college. Their dormitory was also next door. Chen Xiao basically went to Ron Howard’s dormitory to watch NBA games every day. He was in college. At the time, Ron Howard took great care of Chen Xiao and was the first guide for Chen Xiao to enter the basketball world."

In fact, many domestic audiences also know these allusions, but most of them suddenly realized after Teacher Zhang finished the science popularization.

It turned out to be the man who brought Chen Xiao into the basketball world.

No wonder no wonder.

Loved love!

Just when Mr. Zhang was popularizing the relationship between Chen Xiao and Ron Howard, the starting players of two teams had already been played on TV at this time.

On the Magic side, center Sean Camp, forwards: Mike Miller and Grant Hill, guards are Tracy McGrady and Ron Howard.

For the Nets, Martin, Boozer, Richard Jefferson and Chen Xiao, Kidd are still.

The Magic's starting lineup this season is very flexible.

Facing the Nets with a small lineup, the Magic can also start a small lineup.

Of course, the Magic starter is a big or four minors, but except Ron Howard, who is only 1.96 meters, the others are all over 2 meters and the lineup is not short at all.

After the two teams' starting lineups came out, Teacher Zhang, who was still in the science popularization of Chen Xiao's brilliant record in college, immediately stopped.

"According to the starting lineups of the two teams in this game, Chen Xiao is facing the Magic player Tracy McGrady. Maybe the domestic audience is facing Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryan. Te or Vince Carter are more familiar, but McGrady is the NBA's scoring leader so far this season. In this game, Chen Xiao has a very heavy defensive task."

"It is worth mentioning that Chen Xiao's average of 25 points per game this season also ranked among the top ten in the NBA scoring list."

Indeed, because of Chen Xiao’s outstanding performance in scoring this season and Yao Ming’s good rebounding performance, CCTV’s noon and evening sports news have reports on NBA scoring and rebounding charts, but CCTV’s lists are generally Time is life. It's very short. Apart from introducing a few key people, everyone else just passed by in a flash.

Except for those young people who like to surf the Internet, not many people know that McGrady is actually the scoring leader in this year's NBA.

"Unexpectedly, this game was still a scoring battle!"

Score a battle?

Can Chen Xiao really stage a scoring battle with McGrady?

Looking at McGrady standing next to him, Chen Xiao was looking forward to and excited.

Of course, seeing Chen Xiao, McGrady's sleepy eyes were also curious.

Because of Ron Howard and Dougreaves, the magic is no stranger to Chen Xiao.

This is a very interesting young man for him.

The time to learn basketball is not long.

Dry pull has his essence.

He is a young genius like Duncan or Olajuwon.

But that's it!

In the list of McGrady's opponents, Chen Xiao's name has never appeared.

At the very least, Chen Xiao is not worthy of appearing on his list now.

In the middle circle, Martin and Rainman Camp jumped for the ball.

The rainman Camp is no longer the rainman who ruled the sky, his body is completely out of shape and blessed.

At this time, he was as fat as O'Neal.

If it weren't for the Magic's center, there is really a shortage of people, and it would not have been sacked by the Blazers.

Originally the center of the Magic was Pat Burke, but after being 9-for-9 in Yao Ming's first show, the Magic couldn't believe Burke anymore. Burke had no problems with offense and a big defensive problem.

Magic would rather bet on the fat rainman like O'Neill than on Burke.

From this point of view, you can also imagine how hard it is to find a good center in the NBA.

A center with no speed, no bounce, no offense, no defense, just because of his former glory can get a starting position for a playoff team.

Martin, who only jumped the ball with others, faced the current Camp, but didn't he punch out?

With a jump ball from the Nets and Magic, Martin easily defeated Camp.

And after winning the jump ball, Martin went straight to the front court to kill, this is the bully Camp has been completely unable to run.

If you change to a supersonic Camp, it will be Martin's "goodies", Camp feels that he can fall down with one hand.

But now, the hero is late, that is, the hero is late.

Seeing Martin rushing to the front field, Camp's eyes are full of his own shadows.

A nationwide live broadcast has allowed these young people in the Nets to courageously compete for the first place.

However, although Camp is slow, the other four Magic players, Mike Miller, Hill, McGrady and Ron Howard, are not slow.

It's just that Martin has more than speed.

As little Garnett, Martin has reached the level of around 80 in all abilities and physical fitness.

Simply put, it is to be able to talk to people, talk to others, face different defensive players, and use different tricks to defeat opponents.

If Martin is not the main attacker, this is a very useful role player.

Although the Magic retired very quickly, Martin still used his flexibility and strength to squeeze the retreating Mike Miller, and completed an aerial relay with Kidd, with a bang!

Martin used a fast break after a jump ball to get the Nets first!

2 to 0!

Seeing Martin's ball, the Magic coach on the sidelines, Dou Grievous, had a black face.

The center whose jumped ball has completed such a fast break?

This is simply a humiliation to their defense!

But what can he do?

Camp is so slow. McGrady needs to stare at Chen Xiao, who is putting cold arrows outside, and Hill needs to see Richard Jefferson, who is always shocking. Miller and Ron Howard can be recovered.

Miller was defeated so easily one-on-one, what can Ron Howard do?

If Miller can hold it a little bit, not an empty pick, but Martin dribbles and dunks, Ron Howard has a chance to steal.

But this kind of empty pick, Ron Howard can only go up to send 2+1 in addition to watching, so it is better to watch.

In fact, Camp is not as useless in Magic these days as it was in the previous round.

Most teams in the NBA are not as fast as the Nets. Camp's weight and experience can match people, and the defensive effect is better than Burke.

It can only be said that the Nets' offense was too fast.

And what makes Dogrives quite uncomfortable is that even if he removes Camp and replaces Burke, the effect is estimated to be even worse.

Burkna made Yao Ming's 9-for-9 defense, and now thinking about him, he is shivering.

"It seems that this game can still only rely on offense!"

"However, McGrady's offense has never let me down this season!"

Dou Grievous is very confident.

On the court, the Magic's offense is also very confident.

As perhaps the most confident offensive player in the NBA right now, in the eyes of McGrady this season, no one can defend him. From Iverson to Kobe or other opponents, as long as it is one-on-one, he is invincible. of.

This is really not a joke. Those who are taller than him are not as fast as him, and those who are faster than him are not as tall as him. Coupled with his excellent ball-handling skills and strong athleticism, this makes him a misplaced player in the NBA. , Both have an offensive advantage.

Chen Xiao's static body talent is very strong, his height is about the same as him, maybe one centimeter shorter than him, and his arm span is one or two centimeters longer than he seems, which is incredible.

It is not easy to shoot in front of such a player.

However, he is McGrady, he has more than static talent!

Facing Chen Xiao’s one-on-one defense, McGrady, who received Ron Howard’s pass, didn’t use the screen at all. He directly changed the direction of the ball and retreated, Chen Xiao directly swayed and then jumped slightly. , Pulled it up high in the long-distance two-point position.

To be reasonable, Chen Xiao's defensive style of not confronting his opponent's body and retreating has been spit out by many experts as a "ball retreat" defense this season.

Chen Xiao also has a nickname of "Retirement" from many NBA experts.

However, the "ball retreat" returns to the "ball retreat". Chen Xiao does not touch and only retreats. The effect of using the hand leader to prevent breakthrough shots is still very good.

Just the big long hands of Yesh, with both hands open, compared with most of the guards in the league, it is really the same as the Eagles and the chickens.

As long as Chen Xiao fights and retreats, coupled with Chen Xiao's fake moves of not taking three threats, Chen Xiao's defense is not very strong, but the defensive effect is really good, it is really difficult to break through Chen Xiao.

Even Pierce of the Boston Celtics, such an offensive kaleidoscope, was somewhat collapsed by Chen Xiao on the offensive end.

But now, Chen Xiao, who was hardly breached, was directly thrown from one side to the other by McGrady's big change.

These big long legs, this chic long-distance dry pulling, all made Chen Xiao who flew over to seal it wet!

This is too handsome!

Not only Chen Xiao, but even many Chinese audiences in front of the TV were stunned.

The Magic and Rockets have also played this season, but they really didn't pay attention to McGrady in that game. They focused on Yao Ming. For them, Burke, who played against Yao Ming in the Magic game, was more familiar.

Now, because of the direct confrontation with Chen Xiao, McGrady entered their field of vision.

And when this entered their field of vision, they were stunned.

"I have never seen such a temperamental player in the NBA!"

"Every action he takes on the court is full of handsome and chic!"

No kidding, McGrady's style of play and movements are indeed sucking fans.

The series of actions that Chen Xiao did just now can be said to be handsome and scumbag, so cool that it broke through the sky!

Facing Chen Xiao's reluctance to block the shots, the basketball thrown by McGrady crossed a very flat arc and hit the back edge of the basket with a bang.

"..."

The expected sound of brushing did not appear.

The atmosphere was a bit strange for a while.

Not only Chen Xiao, but McGrady was also taken aback.

Many Chinese viewers in front of the TV are still very excited at this time.

"Even if it's an iron strike, it's a chic strike iron!"

Yes, if you can't get in, this also depends on luck.

But handsome or not, that's really a lifetime thing!

When you hit the iron, it is so beautiful, so intoxicated by the audience, so as not to be hated by the fans, then, congratulations, your popularity is about to take off!

Audiences who can hit irons love to watch it, but don’t you take off?

In fact, although McGrady has always dismissed himself for not making headlines, his popularity in the United States has actually begun to take off.

This, McGrady himself needs to wait until the results of the first round of the All-Star vote are out.

At that time, his mentality was much more peaceful.

Now, he is still the ‘Mai’s ‘Mai’ who ‘satisfies the air’ who feels that God is unfair to him.

Mai Zhidao's very handsome shot made many Chinese and American audiences in front of the TV fascinated, but Mai Zhidao himself was not happy!

He defeated Chen Xiao, but he shot the ball in the end. How is this counted?

Beautiful posture adds points to the fans, but on the court, hitting the iron is 0 points!

If you can't be handsome and chic, add 1 point, right?

No way!

My real name is against Marion!

McGrady's handsome striker missed a hit, Martin grabbed a backcourt rebound, looking back, Kidd continued to push the rhythm.

Watching Sean Kemp's huge body take heavy steps and madly defend against many Supersonic fans in front of the TV, they feel both funny and distressed.

How could the limit of the sky they once loved the most so late?

However, Kidd on the court at this time will not have the same mood as a supersonic fan, he will not care whether you can't run Camp or not.

Kidd took the ball to the Magic's three-point line. Ron Howard, who pretended to send the ball inside, jumped up and intercepted, then quickly turned around. The basketball player was taken by Chen Xiao, who was following up behind him. Go, Kidd made a cover for Chen Xiao on the spot and helped Chen Xiao block McGrady.

Seeing this series of actions by Kidd, Kidd had just been tricked, and now Ron Howard, who could only be replaced in front of Chen Xiao, was dumbfounded.

Ron Howard's defensive strength is not a problem, but he really can't play with a guy like Kidd who has become a good one!

Facing the defense of his old teammate Ron Howard's second take-off, Chen Xiao threw the basketball in his hand with an equally handsome ‘Webster’s Shot’.

"Chen Xiao is also very confident, handsome, and chic!"

I have to say that even McGrady on one side feels this way.

Although this kid's dry drawing is Wade's action, it has his essence, this is really not to blow!

Clang!

Even the sound of iron strikes is the same.

Even if it's an iron strike, it's a cool strike that won't let the fans hate it!

Didn't even score a goal with such a good rhythm?

Chen Xiao was a little surprised.

But Chen Xiao didn't think too much, after all, Ron Howard was still in the defensive position.

At this time, Martin under the basket had already overpowered Grant Hill to grab an offensive rebound.

A sound of duang!

When the opponent's inside line is fragile enough, UU Reading www.uukānshu.com little Garnett, that is the real Garnett!

4 to 0!

Martin succeeded in dunking the second offense and scored four points in a row.

Seeing Martin's show at this time, Chen Xiao, who was just handsome and ironic, immediately applauded Martin with joy.

And McGrady frowned at this moment.

The inside disadvantage is too great.

"My offensive pressure is not small in this game."

At this time, McGrady didn’t know that he was really going to make headlines after the game...

ps: In history, McGrady’s 0203 season is indeed magical, and in this magical season of McGrady, December 7th, this game with the Nets is a rare "magic" game for the magical McGrady this season. This night, McGrady's hands are real... iron, cough.
