Chapter 507 Targeting Maddie!Win the Orlando Magic!
McGrady naturally found the provocation in Allen Iverson's eyes.
McGrady, who is determined to win the scoring title this season, will definitely not ignore such provocations.
Stand near the baseline and reach for the ball.
Then dribble all the way to the frontcourt.
It turned out that the man in charge of defending himself was no longer Jose Calderon.
Replaced by Kareem Rush.
McGrady will not become careless just because the player responsible for defending himself is a Knicks bench player.
During the past few years in the alliance, Han Ning has long been famous.
He didn't believe that a head coach like Han Ning would make a meaningless defense adjustment.
as predicted.
Just when McGrady came to a position more than one meter away from the three-point line, Kareem Rush stuck up to defend.
McGrady frowned slightly as he looked at Kareem Rush who was pressing and defending himself.
Attempt to dribble toward the back to open up some space.
But Kareem Rush didn't give him that chance.
In this way, if you want to break through, it is not difficult.
But it is very difficult to start shooting.
In just a split second, McGrady made a decision in his heart.
breakthrough!
Rush to the basket to score!
Dribble with the right hand, suddenly dribbled from behind to the left hand.
Then, before Karim Rush could react, he accelerated and rushed out.
He went straight to the basket and rushed over.
When Dayao and Kurt Thomas saw this, they got stuck in their positions, leaning against the two players facing them, and approached McGrady.
Tracy McGrady rushed all the way to the basket and put his hands together.
One step, two steps, take off.
Holding the basketball tightly with both hands, he made a pull bar in the air, trying to avoid the blocks of Dayao and Kurt Thomas.
However, in the case of two people double-teaming and assisting defense, even McGrady can hardly avoid the assisting defense of Dayao and Kurt Thomas.
"Bang!"
The basketball in McGrady's hand was slapped by Kurt Thomas.
Basketball was dominated by Allen Iverson.
However, Allen Iverson didn't play the fast break like before.
Instead, he slowed down the rhythm, dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and waited for everyone to settle down.
24 seconds of attack time, waited until there were seven or eight seconds left before attacking.
He dribbled the ball with his right hand and rushed all the way to the right.
Jameer Nelson, who was in charge of defending Allen Iverson, had to do his best to keep up.
However, with Kareem Rush's pick-and-roll cooperation, Allen Iverson still easily got rid of Jameer Nelson's defense.
Then, before McGrady had time to switch defenses, he rushed all the way to the basket.
Under the cover of Dayao and Kurt Thomas, he easily completed a layup.
Watching Allen Iverson finish the layup so easily.
Maddy felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
If he can have such a teammate, he can be so relaxed and happy when he hits the basket!
Unfortunately, he didn't.
Thinking of this, McGrady set his sights on Howard again.
Then shook his head slightly.
Can't tell if it's disappointment or frustration.
After being glanced at by McGrady, Howard was still a little bit unconvinced.
He still feels that if McDicken passes him the ball.
I have long been able to recover the gap in the score.
It can also prove to everyone that he is indeed no weaker than Dayao!
But it's a pity.
McGrady is the boss of his own team, and the master of the right to speak in the locker room.
Although Howard has a high ego, he will not try to provoke the team's leading star when he first entered the team.
So McGrady didn't pass the ball to him before.
Even if Howard had resentment and displeasure in his heart, he could only endure it temporarily.
Turning around, the Magic attacked.
McGrady dribbles to the frontcourt again.
Subsequently, Karim Rush once again carried out close defense.
It is still more than one meter away from the three-point line.
Seeing this, Maddy was extremely annoyed.
Gritting his teeth, he wrinkled his nose.
Simply pull the jumper directly.
"Bang!"
Under the strong interference of Kareem Rush, McGrady missed this shot!
The rebound was controlled by Kurt Thomas.
Allen Iverson brought the tempo down again.
After seeing this scene, Han Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Ok!
McGrady's good state was interrupted, and the rhythm changed.
In this way, the biggest difficulty for the Knicks to win this game is solved.
For the rest, you just need to remember step by step.
Sure enough, in the next game, McGrady, who was fully targeted, failed to reproduce the classic scene of 35 seconds and 13 minutes in Han Ning's mind.
In this way, Han Ning and the Knicks have nothing to fear.
On the contrary, it was McGrady who clearly felt that his touch was not as hot as before.
On the side of the Magic, both Tracy McGrady and Howard's offense have received considerable obstacles.
It is also difficult for other players to support the offensive power of an entire team.
The offense can't be played, and the defense can't be defended.
Still wanting to catch up with the point difference is a bit of a dream.
On the Knicks side, Allen Iverson successfully put the responsibility of scoring on his shoulders.
On the defensive end, the two inside players plus Kareem Rush have a very strict defense against McGrady.
This is also the credit of assistant coach Mike Brown.
On weekdays, he would collect some data on the stars of the league.
It is very correct to make a sufficiently targeted defensive strategy for a star like Tracy McGrady.
In this way, it is impossible for the Magic to chase points.
Even, it is very hard work not to let the Knicks widen the score difference more.
Wait for the moment when the whistle sounds for the end of the game.
The score between the two teams has come to 107 to 102.
The Knicks successfully won the game with a 15-point lead!
However, the players of the Magic team seem to be a little bit unable to accept this fact.
They all sat in front of the bench and began to reflect.
For what reason did he lose this match!
Looking at the players under him, all of them looked downcast.
The head coach of the Magic, Johnny Davis, walked slowly to the crowd.
As a senior coach, he knows that his players need encouragement and confidence now.
More faith is needed!
Belief in making yourself stronger!
"Guys, keep your heads up!"
As soon as Johnny Davis finished speaking, all the Magic players on the scene set their eyes on him.
