Chapter 238 [Unstoppable, God possessed! 】

The game continued, the Raptors attacked, O'Neal Jr. and Miller together withdrew from the three-point line, pulled out the big man of the Suns, and McGrady made an empty cut on the right.

Carter and Maddie are the most tacit, and both believe in each other's personal abilities.He creates a bit of space with Marion's interference and passes the ball from close range.McGrady caught the ball on the move and made a three-step layup.

Players can take two steps after receiving the ball, which is one of McGrady's killer moves.His pace is particularly large and fast. He leaned on Hardaway to take two steps directly to the basket, jumped up with all his strength, and pulled the bar backhand to score the basketball. 77 to 62.

Even the peak Hardaway has a gap with McGrady's quality. After the injury, the gap is even bigger, and it can't be covered at all.Hardaway's heart is bitter. Once upon a time, he bullied other players like this, and now the feng shui turns.

The ball was very consistent, McGrady scored his 7th point, and Carter got his 9th assist.

The Suns attacked, Christie defended Kidd, and McGrady followed Hardaway.

Kidd and Robinson picked and rolled the ball to the middle.Robinson held the ball and leaned against Christie to jump to the basket, attracting Carter to make up the defense and go out, and Rodgers made a 3-pointer. 77 to 65.

On the sidelines, Yang Rui and Xibodu shook their heads together.Carter's defensive enthusiasm is good, and he always wants to help the opponent with a big cap, but this is not the defense arranged by the coach.

If he loves to jump, Carter will never become a master of defense.

The Raptors attacked, Carter continued to be strictly guarded by Marion, and the breakthrough failed to pass to McGrady, who was running.

McGrady took the ball on the right, turned around, and stepped forward with his left foot, holding the ball to the bottom line. He crossed Hardaway halfway with a quick first step.

Hardaway followed from the side. Seeing that McGrady was about to take off, he hurriedly pulled someone into a foul.

Once McGrady jumps up, it's too late to foul, it's likely to pull the bar or dunk.The Raptors' flying style has made many players collapse, and no one wants to be the background of the five best balls.

McGrady hit one of two free throws, 78 to 65, and Hardaway and Robinson both fouled three times.

Hardaway wanted to return one for dignity, and asked for the ball behind his back. Kidd had no choice and gave the ball to the past.

Hardaway leaned against McGrady twice, turned to the right, and was cut to the ball by McGrady before he jumped up, and the steal was successful.

Hardaway shouted at the referee, indicating that the thugs had committed a foul, but the referee ignored it.

His strength is gone, only his temper is left.

With the "big shark" attracting defense, Hardaway was called "Jordan's successor."After O'Neal left, he had more ball possession but struggled to play, and his scoring and shooting percentage dropped significantly. He couldn't hold back various injuries.The Magic traded him for a rebuild, and now he has lost his star whistle.

McGrady dribbled the ball through the half quickly, 3-2 in the frontcourt.

Kidd followed Christie to the bottom corner on the right, and Marion had to let Carter go to guard McGrady, otherwise he could score easily, and Carter stopped outside the left three-point line.

Marion switched defenses, McGrady scored the ball, Carter received the ball and made an open three-pointer and made a steady shot. Hardaway complained to the referee and failed to quickly return to prevent interference.

81 to 65, the 39th personal score.

Skiles was anxious on the sidelines and shouted: "Defend your own people and follow Carter!"

Marion is not annoyed. Although he turned the two-point defense into a three-pointer, most people will choose like him, and the success rate of upper-air baskets is definitely higher than that of three-pointers.

The Suns attacked, Kidd scored the ball after the pick-and-roll, Robinson received the ball, and played Christie in a dislocation. No one was double-teamed. He couldn't make a shot from close range.

The Raptors attacked, Carter caught the ball in two steps from the three-point line, and Miller attracted the defense after a pick-and-roll, and scored the ball to McGrady on the right at close range.

The big guys were all guarded, and McGrady relied on Hardaway to forcibly break through three steps. When Hardaway was about to jump, the referee saw that Hardaway's covert pusher blew the whistle.

McGrady hit the free throw line again and made two free throws, 83-65.

Skiles asked for a timeout again, realizing that it was going to be bad and Hardaway had already committed four fouls.If you are dealing with ordinary players, small moves are effective. McGrady and Carter have star whistle, and it is impossible to get started.

Hardaway couldn't guard against McGrady, and even more so when changing individuals, Gugliotta was much less mobile, and Randy Livingston was too short and shot badly.

Moreover, the Suns did not prevent Carter, Carter became divided into passing, and playing the pick-and-roll attracted the attention of Marion and Robinson, two defensive strong points.

How to prevent?It seems to be just the difference between Carter's points and Carter's assists for his teammates.Seeing this clearly, Skiles is a little desperate, the Raptors are too strong, and the three young cores have superhuman physical qualities.Even if the sun is lucky to break through from the west, it will be a dead end when it encounters the Raptors, and there is absolutely no possibility of upset.

At the end of the timeout, Skiles sent in veteran Chris Chapman, who is 193cm tall and 84kg.Gugliotta also returned to the field, replacing Rodgers.

If Gugliotta can't get up and the Suns are empty inside, even if the Raptors miss a shot, they may not be able to protect the rebound.Rodgers averaged 5.5 rebounds per game, and Robinson averaged 4.5 rebounds per game. As an insider, their rebounding ability is too poor.

Chapman can shoot three-pointers, can pull away, and help his teammates on the offensive end. Randy is a little better, and he will be crushed against McGrady.

After playing, Chapman used the bottom line to cover his movement, received a pass from Kidd in the left bottom corner and made a three-pointer. 83 to 68.

Zhang Lili said: "Kidd organized the offense in a single-minded manner. With him, the Suns would not be chaotic and played very reasonably. But now the Suns do not have a super scorer to drive the team back to the score. As the core, Kidd's personal Not enough offense."

Sun Zhengping said: "Carter proved today that he can also be a good point guard, and he passed again."

The Raptors played very simply. Carter dribbled the ball over the halfcourt and went on by himself, and played a pick-and-roll with O'Neal Jr. in the middle to reduce personal pressure.Then he put the ball straight from close range, and this time McGrady cut from the bottom corner to the basket, caught the ball while running, and forced a layup. 85 to 68.

The third quarter did not end, and Carter reached double figures in assists.

McGrady's shooting feel is average today, and he can also break through and adjust.His greatest talent is that among players with a height of about 205CM, he has the top ball-handling ability, and the first step is very fast, so he can pass without any fancy moves.

Chapman just came out and didn't want to be a foul machine. He followed closely enough, but it was meaningless.After McGrady jumped, Chapman couldn't touch McGrady's chin, what interference could it play?
The Suns attacked, Kidd made a breakthrough and was followed by O'Neal Jr. There was no chance for him to make a shot. He circled around and scored the ball to the left baseline. Marion caught the ball and made a jumper. He pushed the ball to the basket with an alternative posture and avoided Carter. Cover deflected.

Gugliotta grabbed an offensive rebound, faltered and got strong, dodged O'Neal Jr., was sneak attacked by Carter from behind, and slapped the ball to the backboard and popped it.

Miller picked up a basketball pass to Christie, who then passed Carter after halftime, causing a dislocation on the field.

Carter took three steps with the basketball in his arms, and he was about to get rid of Gugliotta by his body, who reluctantly pulled a foul.

The fans shouted "MVP" neatly. Carter made two free throws and scored his 41st point, 87-68.

Mike Brin exclaimed: "Before the third quarter, Carter has scored 41 points and 10 assists. God is possessed."
