From today on is the king

Chapter 643 642. McGrady VS Liu Mang (Da Zhang asks for a monthly pass!)
Taking advantage of his long arms, Liu Mang played an Olajuwon-style layup feint against McGrady, who was about ten centimeters taller than him, and McGrady was tricked!

So much fun!This feeling is great!

McGrady felt that his fighting spirit, which had been beaten to pieces in the past two years, was rekindled!

After Liu Mang scored a goal, he blew his right hand that caught the ball just now. When he retreated, he clapped his hands with Kwame Brown.

Liu Mang retreated to the top arc of his own three-point line, watched McGrady's habitual hazy eyes dribble forward when he was not wearing glasses, and saw the mean smile on the corner of McGrady's mouth...

"Ding...Tracey McGrady triggers trait: McGrady moment."

"McGrady Moment: Peak McGrady's regular scoring time, the probability of anti-interference of consecutive three-point shots in a short period of time is greatly improved."

Liu Mang looked excitedly at the advancing McGrady, finally came!

It has been a long time since Liu Mang met McGrady with such high fighting spirit in a game. The last time Liu Mang saw such a fighting McGrady, it was the first time he played against McGrady in his rookie season, but after that, the strength of the two teams was not at the same level.

I don't know when it started, when Liu Mang faced the superstar, the initial fear was completely gone, but he was more and more eager to fight against the strong.

McGrady pushed forward, Liu Mang decisively...to defend Tyronn Lue, and Prince defended McGrady.

Liu Mang to defend McGrady?Just kidding!There is such a big difference in height between the two, and McGrady can shoot suddenly. Of course, this kind of hard work is left to Prince. Liu Mang consumes McGrady from the offensive end, and Prince consumes McGrady from the defensive end. This is the offensive and defensive strategy of the Eagles.

If Liu Mang wants to beat McGrady, he only needs to score more points than McGrady. If the Eagles want to win against Magic, they also need to score more points than Magic.

McGrady was a little confused when he saw that he didn't come to defend, but looking at Prince in front of him, thinking of Prince's amazing defense in the opening game, his confusion suddenly turned into envy. He envied Liu Mang for having a good teammate, and even envied Prince for having a partner who trusted his teammates like Liu Mang. This kind of envy made McGrady even more angry!

The annoyed McGrady looked at Prince's defense and raised his hand to hit a three-pointer. Prince had already jumped on it immediately, but it didn't have any effect. Facing McGrady, the No. 98 outside line in the league with a peak ability rating of 1, when McGrady's fighting spirit was high, no one could stop him.

Seeing that he entered again, McGrady shrugged and turned back to defend. When he left, he looked at Liu Mang who was pressing Tyronn Lu behind him with his arms and said lightly: "It's your turn next, I will defend you."

This coquettish tone... Liu Mang is still a little excited!
McGrady didn't even look at Prince. Obviously, he wanted to discourage Prince's enthusiasm. Prince is already a well-known perimeter single-defense expert in the league. If McGrady wants to play easily, he has to beat Prince without defensive confidence.

However, Prince is very calm and calm. His best point is that he is not easily affected by emotions. Even in his Auburn Hills palace incident, he was the only one on the Pistons who sat on the technical table and watched his teammates fight.

Liu Mang received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt. There was no doubt that Liu Mang was about to play singles. His teammates didn't need Liu Mang to make gestures, and consciously opened up the space.

After Liu Mang came to the opposite three-point line and bent over to dribble, McGrady immediately stuck up to Liu Mang. In terms of speed, strength, and explosive power, McGrady was not inferior to Liu Mang in all aspects, and his overall physical fitness was far superior to Liu Mang.

When facing a few superstars, McGrady will focus on defense, and when he is focused, his defense is really strong!McGrady, who is about to reach his peak physical fitness now, if he defends like the Raptors did, the best defensive team will not be able to escape!

Feeling the pressure of confrontation from McGrady, Liu Mang pressed his left arm against McGrady, keeping a little space away from McGrady.

McGrady was a little surprised to feel the power coming from Liu Mang's arm. Liu Mang's not-so-sturdy arm actually had such strength, but McGrady continued to press up without hesitation. He didn't dare to open his arm too much for fear of being fouled by Liu Mang, but in addition to his endurance, his physical fitness, which may be better than James, stuck tightly to Liu Mang.

Liu Mang slapped the ball to the left with his right hand, relying on McGrady’s gap to break through to the left. McGrady easily followed Liu Reg’s footsteps, but Liu Reg’s left breakthrough was a fake move.

McGrady had expected that Liu Mang would change direction, and he had enough confidence in himself. When Liu Mang changed direction to the right, McGrady used a faster explosive speed to change direction to the left to block Liu Mang, but!blocked!
Boozer didn't even need Liu Mang to call the pick-and-roll. When Liu Mang needed it, he came up to block McGrady tacitly!
Liu Mang took advantage of Boozer's pick-and-roll, went around behind Boozer, grabbed the ball and shot a three-pointer!

But McGrady is really too fast!His physical fitness and reaction were very fast. When he was blocked by Boozer, he turned around and circled around Boozer, and rushed towards Liu Mang!

Liu Mang, who grabbed the ball and jumped up, was taken aback!
This speed is too exaggerated for McGrady's height!In Liu Mang's impression, there is only one player besides McGrady who has this height and speed, and has such a fast explosive bullet speed-Xiao Lebang, who has just turned 19!
Liu Mang had to turn his body sideways in the air, sideways and back!

"The 5th level trigger of the king of dry drawing comes from the host, and corrects the angle skew caused by the interference of the host's three-point shooting this time."

Liu Mang's arm automatically adjusted slightly at the moment of the shot!While avoiding McGrady's attacking hand, the angle of the shot was not disturbed by the sideways and backwards. This kind of shot feeling made Liu Mang smile when he lost his balance and fell down.

Seeing the smile on Liu Mang's face, McGrady turned to look at the flying ball. The ball left Liu Mang's hand and plunged into the basket!
McGrady smiled wryly and shook his head helplessly, stretched out his hand towards Liu Mang, and after pulling Liu Mang up, he didn't want to look at Liu Mang anymore, and went directly to catch the serve.

This kid is getting more and more terrifying!

It's the Magic's offense again. The Eagles didn't have a defensive strategy to continue with the previous goal. After McGrady scored the first goal, the Eagles knew that no one could defend against anyone alone!The Eagles quickly made defensive changes, and Prince stuck up to McGrady. He would rather McGrady break through than let McGrady continue to single-play three-pointers!

Liu Reck knew how strong McGrady was at the moment, so he told his teammates that as long as McGrady scored a three-pointer, he would not be able to continue shooting outside the three-point line. A while ago, Xiao Zhan was beaten by Liu Reckon, and McGrady made 8 consecutive three-pointers.

When McGrady saw Prince posting it, he was in a posture of guarding against shooting but not rushing. McGrady knew that there must be a trap, but he had to jump in. Prince's height and wingspan were better than him!

McGrady accelerated and passed Prince, and rushed into the three-point line. The first time McGrady rushed into the three-point line, Liu Mang and Raheem on both sides immediately blocked the middle. McGrady gave the ball to Tyronn Lue who was originally defended by Liu Mang. Tyronn Lue caught the ball and made a three-pointer... It really scored!
Liu Mang watched McGrady pass the ball to Tyronn Lue for a shot. It was a bit regretful that McGrady didn't have a blue head and only wanted to shoot. He thought that McGrady wanted to win the scoring champion, so he would definitely shoot with his life regardless.

It’s just that McGrady is not stupid, he is very good at playing, he knows that if he wants to score, he must first make his shots easier, so that the threat from his teammates cannot be less, so he passes the ball decisively when encountering double teams.

It was the Eagles offense again. Although the pick-and-roll just made a three-pointer, Liu Mang was still a little afraid of McGrady's terrifying physical fitness. McGrady's physical fitness was too exaggerated in the Magic period before the Rockets suffered consecutive serious injuries.

After Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, he asked Boozer directly for a pick-and-roll. Boozer came up to stop McGrady. Liu Mang cut in from the right side of McGrady. After getting rid of McGrady's defense and gaining room to accelerate, Liu Mang relied on the level 5 bonus of the pick-and-roll master, and his speed skyrocketed to 100.

Liu Mang's speed is amazing!McGrady and Juwan Howard let go of Boozer directly after encountering a pick-and-roll, and De Klerk under the basket attacked Liu Mang. Liu Mang rushed to the right edge of the reasonable collision zone and was double-teamed by three people. He grabbed the ball and jumped up. Relying on the level 5 effect of the pick-and-roll master, the height of the jump even surprised McGrady!
When Liu Mang grabbed the ball and jumped up, he threw the ball in the direction of Boozer. After Boozer helped Liu Mang become McGrady, he saw Liu Mang break through, and saw Kwame Brown under the basket being surrounded by De Klerk. Boozer immediately cut into the basket from the left.

Seeing Liu Mang's jumping up, the three Magic players who double-teamed Liu Mang rushed towards Boozer without a tacit understanding. Liu Mang took the ball back in the air, and when it landed, he made an easy throw and threw the ball into the basket.

Watching Liu Mang make such a fake move in the air for more than a second, the fans at the scene and in front of the TV felt incredible!
Especially the fans in front of the TV saw that Liu Mang had thrown the ball in the air in the slow-motion playback, but he grabbed the ball firmly and brought it back in the air. He closed his legs in a half-squat position to increase the time in the air, and threw the ball from bottom to top into the basket. His hands were too exaggerated!
Fans didn't pay attention to this before, but this time Liu Mang's mid-air feint is really incredible, and Liu Mang's big hand is also popular in this game!

It's just that the shock is the shock, everyone thinks that Liu Mang is too hot!

Just now, the three members of the Magic team did not have a tacit understanding of defense to block Boozer collectively. Of course, don’t expect any defensive tacit understanding from the bottom-most team in the league.

If Liu Mang knew what the fans thought, he would definitely scoff: You guys know how to shovel, the basket is empty, right?If you can't make a shot, you can rebound more easily and make a second attack!

It was the Magic's offense again, and McGrady stabilized his desire to fight Liu Mang immediately. He knew that the threat of his teammates was too low, and the opponent would definitely double-team, so he had to show his passing threat first, and then score.

McGrady's mind is still very clear, but he really thinks of his opponent too normal!

McGrady made several attacks in the next few times, no matter how he split the ball, and no matter how the Magic players took active shots, they shot resolutely and were quite accurate. The Eagles only blocked McGrady and the basket.

As for the Eagles, Liu Mang played a lot of singles, broke through pick-and-rolls and made fouls or layups, made three-pointers, and occasionally made a stop jump shot in the defensive transition.

The teammates are responsible for helping Liu Mang pick and roll, attracting defenses, grabbing rebounds for the second offense, and then returning to the defensive end to double-team McGrady, the guy who made them lose face in the previous game.

McGrady wants to pass the ball, the Eagles don't care about it at all, they only block McGrady. Those role players of the Magic can't shoot dead people, otherwise McGrady will be double-teamed by at least two people in almost every game during the 19-game losing streak.

But today the Magic's outside shots were quite accurate. In the first quarter, when Liu Mang took 13 shots, 13 of 7 and 23 to play a wonderful and efficient personal offensive performance, McGrady on the Magic's side resisted the disadvantage of the lineup with his own strength.
When Liu Mang came back and the Eagles had the backbone, McGrady relied on his own strength to resist the Eagles' fierce offense and defense!

……

During the intermission, Liu Wei returned to the bench. He didn’t expect the Magic to start so accurately. They were 9-of-5 from beyond the three-point line. If Juwan Howard’s mid-range shot hadn’t missed one, the Magic’s Tyronn Lue and Kirisek hadn’t started so accurately in the second half of the first quarter. McGrady’s pass might have overtaken the Magic.

Liu Mang was thinking about his style of play in the second quarter, and felt that it was time for a change. First of all, the game was important.

On the other side, two coaches who ignored Liu Reck's unique beep were discussing defense. They didn't want to talk to Liu Reck anymore. If Raheem and Boozer hadn't taken the initiative to ask for the ball a few times and played a few times, the Magic would have been concentrated on Liu Reck and redistributed.

However, this kid actually shot [-]% of his field goals. Coach Kruger and Mike Woodson's assistant coach had nothing to say. Liu Mang's field goal percentage was the highest in the game, so he didn't even give him a chance to scold him!
"Mike, continue?" Coach Kruger asked blankly.

"Continue, Ace stabilizes the offense, and we will win if the Magic's role players fail to make shots." Mike Woodson is quite sure of his defensive strategy.

Although there was a bit of a misstep in the first quarter, I didn't expect the Magic's role players to be so accurate, but if they can be so accurate all the time, they are not role players, that is Ray Allen and Reggie Miller.

Coach Kruger nodded, and he has no opinion. In terms of defense, Mike Woodson is a professional. The biggest advantage of Coach Kruger is that he is good at following suggestions. He is responsible for substitutions and on-the-spot offensive tactical arrangements, as well as making choices from the defensive strategies provided by Mike Woodson.

Mike Woodson went on to say: "And I think McGrady can't sit still after seeing Ace score so many points..."

……

The two sent out a rotation lineup. Liu Mang continued to play for the Eagles. Prince, who was strong in single defense, and Korver, who was unexpectedly good in assist defense and had a good three-pointer, played. Muhammad replaced Boozer, and Kwame Brown continued to guard the basket.

Meanwhile Mike Woodson had Ratliff ready to play at any moment.

The Magic replaced Rod Strickland, Keith Bogans, McGrady continued to play, Juwan Howard and Drew Gooden partnered inside.

As Mike Woodson expected, McGrady came up this time and chose to attack with the ball.

The first is because the scoring gap with Liu Mang is a bit big. The second is that McGrady got 8 assists in the first 5 minutes of the first quarter, but there was no assist in the next 4 minutes.
The feel of his teammates began to decline, and with the scoring gap, McGrady was ready to come by himself.

Prince continued to go up to defend McGrady alone, preparing to continue to defend when McGrady came to the three-point line, and then flanked with his teammates.

but!

Prince saw the banter on McGrady's face!
McGrady pulled up directly when he was one step away from the three-point line, and pulled out a long-range three-pointer!
McGrady caught Prince by surprise this time, and before Prince could react, McGrady shot directly.

"Swish"

McGrady continued to maintain a fiery touch, and made another three-pointer in the second quarter!
32 to 31, the Magic lead by 1 point!
Everyone thought that McGrady would continue to break through the ball, but he didn't expect McGrady to shoot directly!

too strong!Rao was as calm as Prince, and felt that the other party was really scary!

When McGrady saw the goal, he pointed at Liu Mang and blew the non-existent gunpowder smoke. The fans were going crazy. The performances of Liu Mang and McGrady were too shocking today!Although they are very upset about McGrady's application for a trade, it has to be said that Magic fans are convinced by the fighting spirit and strength McGrady showed today!
Seeing McGrady's provocation, Liu Mang felt cheated!

This guy seems to be stimulating himself to continue confronting Biao!

Liu Reck advances to the frontcourt, McGrady comes up to defend Liu Reck immediately, Liu Reck continues to pick and roll, Muhammad comes out to help Liu Reck block McGrady, Liu Reck is very afraid of McGrady's circling defense, and chooses to break into the inside lane, sure enough!Just as Liu Mang expected, the Magic team went crazy!Collective double-teaming!

Just as Liu Mang passed McGrady, he realized that it was not Juwan Howard who came out with Muhammad, but Keith Bogans!
Relying on the speed of the pick-and-roll master bonus, Liu Mang quickly passed Bogans and went inside. Juwan Howard immediately retracted from the bottom line to defend Korver and blocked Liu Mang's pass to the right. Both Bogans and Tracy McGrady double-teamed Liu Mang to block Liu Mang.

Liu Mang rushed into the basket without any hesitation. When he was close to the reasonable collision zone, he grabbed the ball and jumped with both feet!

When Liu Mang grabbed the ball with both feet off the ground, the four members of the Magic team rushed towards Liu Mang. When Gooden was about to catch Liu Mang, McGrady jumped towards him and wanted to block the shot!

As long as Liu Mang takes the shot, he has the confidence to block it!
but!

McGrady rushed to nothing!

Gooden kept in the reasonable collision zone and wanted to hold Liu Mang, but he was in vain. The players of the Magic team did not expect Liu Mang to stride so vigorously, but he only jumped slightly when he took off, and then he landed and moved aside!
In the absence of space, the Magic players are not worried about Liu Wei's weird footsteps at all, because there is no way for Liu Wei to change direction, and the four people have already blocked the space on both sides of Liu Wei's pass and the space under the basket, surrounding Liu Wei together!

But the referee didn't blow the whistle, Liu Mang just walked away.

Just when the Magic players were a little confused and didn't know what happened, McGrady was the first to see that the ball in Liu Mang's hand was gone!

McGrady yelled inwardly that it was not good, and just turned around, it was already too late!

Kwame Brown rushed in from the free throw line, received the ball and took off in one step inside the free throw line, smashing McGrady who had just landed directly into the basket, and smashed the ball into the basket through McGrady and Gooden under the basket!
The referee finally blew his whistle at this time, but not Liu Mang, but McGrady's defensive foul!

When Kwame Brown caught the ball and dunked just now, McGrady just landed and didn't stand still and turned around to block Kwame Brown. Although it was McGrady who was knocked into the air, it was still a defensive foul!

If the goal is valid, a penalty will be added.

McGrady almost got knocked over!Leaning on Gooden, who was also almost knocked over by two consecutive collisions, McGrady watched Liu Mang and Kwame Brown high-five, but didn't realize what happened!
None of the four magicians who flanked Liu Mang under the basket reacted, but the fans on the sidelines saw it clearly.

Liu Mang pretended to try to dunk, but when he grabbed the ball, he slapped the ball under his crotch and passed it to Kwame Brown who ran back to the top arc and then came in from the middle.

The Magic players guarded Liu Mang's pass to the basket, but they didn't notice that Kwame Brown, who was guarding the ball, had gone out!

Beautiful points, Kwame Brown's domineering dunk, and an additional penalty!

Liu Mang had anticipated the traps of the Magic's defense long ago, and was already ready to split the ball. Kwame Brown has played for half a season, and has developed a lot of offensive skills. Kwame Brown has already done a good job of this kind of cut in the middle.

Kwame Brown high-fives his teammates and walks to the free throw line excitedly.

Liu Reck came to the right side of the free throw line and looked at the face of McGrady who was also about to grab a rebound in disbelief. McGrady didn't expect Liu Reck to start passing. You must know that Liu Reck didn't pass when double-teaming in the first quarter!
What a broken coach!
Prediction is completely inaccurate!

Kwame Brown also made an extra penalty, and Liu Mangbai and Juwan Howard squeezed for a long time.

When returning to defense, Liu Mang said to McGrady: "Actually, I can also pass the ball. By the way, I averaged 6.3 assists per game, which is more than Tracy's."

Liu Mang turned back to defend even more arrogantly than McGrady.

It was McGrady's attack again, and this time Prince defended more decisively. McGrady just passed halftime and Prince posted it.

McGrady rushed to the free throw line, facing Korver's supplementary defense and Prince's chasing defense, he gave the vacant Rod Strickland, but Rod Strickland was really iron, and he made a three-point shot and flew out of the baseline.

Conversely, when Liu Mang broke through, he encountered a double-team and gave it to Korver, and Korver steadily hit the open three-pointer.

Seeing the gap between the role players of the two teams, and seeing Liu Mang making a 2 gesture to indicate that he has two assists easily, McGrady is about to explode!
Can't help it!Then McGrady started a wave of offensive frenzy, with all kinds of shots against the defense, breaking through strong shots, being clinging to him and pushing Prince with his head, and making strong shots without rhythm, all kinds of strong shots.

It has to be said that McGrady is really strong. With the number of shots soaring, he can still maintain a shooting percentage in the early [-]s. The game is completely heated up!

McGrady did not pass the ball to give him an easy chance to score. Instead, after Liu Mang made two passes in the second quarter, the shot became easier. The head coach of the Magic, John Davis, was afraid of being killed by the Eagles outside shooters, so the Magic returned to conventional defense.

Thus, the game between the Magic and the Eagles turned into a confrontation between McGrady and Liu Mang!

When McGrady made a shot, Liu Mang desperately wanted to make one, and when McGrady hit the iron, if Liu Mang didn't meet the supplementary defense, he would make the shot himself, and if he encountered the supplementary defense, he would split the ball.

Compared to Liu Mang, McGrady is too pitiful. Every ball has to be shot against the defense, but Liu Mang passes the ball when he encounters double-teams. He only needs to keep the scoring gap between himself and McGrady.

The scores of both are rising, but the Hawks' team score is rising much faster than the Magic's team score!
From the second quarter, McGrady became a lonely singles, but until the fourth quarter, the official timeout was opened by the Eagles, and McGrady failed to catch up with Liu Mang's score. Liu Mang had teammates on his side, and the score was too easy!

Liu Mang is completely using the advantage of the lineup to suppress McGrady. It would be foolish not to rely on the advantage of the team's strength. Liu Mang disdains to use indiscriminate means, but it's okay to be despicable!

During the official timeout, McGrady looked at the team score comparison and individual score comparison on the big screen, and sat on the bench in a daze...

　If there are no accidents, we will update as usual in the afternoon and evening!Before get off work and before 12 o'clock in the evening~
