Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 168 Pay for Your Dreams!
Came back in the second half of the game.

McGrady holds the ball, breaks through and shoots a three-point jumper...

Stoudemire is preparing to let McGrady break through, so that he can take McGrady down with the help of his teammates.

That's it!

Not the most important either.

Most importantly, defensively, he's just a piece of air.

He can only pray that God is on his side.

Swish-!
He is disappointed in God.

McGrady has a three-pointer.

The Magic lead by one point.

Looking back, the Magic shrank their defense.

The basketball was in Rasheed's hands, and he tried to shake it off, watching Duncan's impassive face.

Roaring Tianzun has no confidence.

Pass the ball to Pippen, start, drive, jump shot...

In his perception, it should be easy to deal with a rookie like Jackson.

Bang-dang-!
Pippen's shooting touch is very bad.

Frequently hit the iron and miss.

The 35-year-old Pippen has declined a lot.

O'Neal grabbed the rebound and quickly passed the ball to Hill.

At this moment, McGrady and Jackson rushed up.

Stoudemire and Smith, back on defense quickly.

In other words, Smith's return to defense is fairly reliable, and Stoudemire's return from a counterattack is also a mass of air.

Hill made a long pass, McGrady caught the ball, took a dribble, and then sent the basketball to the sky.

Bang-dang-!
Stoudemire was dunked.

The misalignment is too obvious.

What's the use of being empty and fast.

3 minutes! !!

The Magic expanded the point difference to three points.

The Blazers attack.

Rasheed received the outside line and shot a three-point jumper...

Duncan didn't get out of the defense.

Shoot threes inside, which is hard to defend.

If thrown out.

Opponents can drive to the basket.

Duncan can only bet that Rasheed can't make the shot.

Bang-dang-!
Rashid is very versatile.

The shooting range reached the three-point line.

reach to reach.

Whether the efficiency is high or not is another matter.

Rasheed made 16 percent of his 32s last season and [-] percent this season.

The ups and downs are huge, whether you can hit it or not depends on God's food.

Duncan easily picked off the rebound, dribbled a step, and quickly passed the ball to Hill.

The Magic have outstanding physical talent and continue to launch counterattacks and fast breaks.

Pippen interrupted Hill's push and quickly flipped the ball into Jackson's hands.

Four on four in the frontcourt, Sabonis is just like Yao Ming, and he can't go back.

This is an offensive situation where you play more and play less.

Don't ask, ask is Stoudemire, defensively, not seen as a human being.

In reality, it was four against three.

After passing the ball several times, McGrady made an air cut, caught the ball, and with a bang, gliding and dunking, scored the basketball.

5 minutes! !!

The Blazers trailed by 5 points.

Dunleavy didn't change his face.

He has long been used to it.

With Stoudemire on the court, the Blazers were already ready to lose points.

Next, what made him most uncomfortable was that McGrady's three-pointer blew up.

See also Ganba.

With a swish, it was a precise hit.

"The Blazers need to switch defenses and freeze McGrady's offense.

He may not be McGrady of the former Raptors. He is known not because of his skills, but because his cousin is called Carter.

This season, Carter's offense is amazing, and he can compete with Iverson on the scoring list.

It's a joke to use Stoudemire to defend.

Ok.

They don't have a choice yet! "

On the field, Pippen stood up and went to change defenses.

McGrady points the ball to Hill.

On the commentary stage, Barkley saw Hill holding the ball and Stoudemire standing in front of him. He shook his head, knowing that this was a change of soup.

really.

On the court, Hill broke through, passed Stoudemire, shot in the paint, and scored the basketball.

Then, raised his hand for a three-point jumper.

I aimed at the one for 2 or 3 seconds, like training, and hit it again with a bang.

It rained three-pointers for the Magic.

Whoever Stoudemire defends against will explode.

The score between the two sides was stretched to 10 points.

Li Mu nodded.

The game feels solid.

At this time, the situation on the court.

Positional warfare, Tracy McGrady and Hill, outside, whoever plays Stoudemire is an opportunity.

Occasionally, you can also interact with Duncan and O'Neal, whether it is breaking through the basket, or hitting the ball, catching the ball, and scoring points on Stoudemire's head, you can get anything you want, and one hit is accurate.

In the counterattack, as long as it is mentioned, the Magic will play more and play less.

The Trail Blazers are short and slow.

When it comes to rhythm, defensively, it's basically a question of giving points.

In the past, Li Mu couldn't understand that the Trail Blazers were a championship team, so how could they retain the flaw of Stoudemire?

In other words, it's not that they don't have money, nor are they unwilling to spend money.

Why not solve the point guard problem?

Until Li Mu knew that Stoudemire's birth city was Portland, all his doubts were resolved.

The Trail Blazers not only want to win the championship, but also have to win the championship with local stars as the core players.

It can only be said that this boss is very thoughtful.

Of course, they also have to pay for their dreams.

Stoudemire was blown away.

Pippen can't wipe his ass, he can't even care about himself.

Where will the Trail Blazers think about it?
In the first half of the game, the two teams played evenly.

In the second half of the game, as the Magic broke out from outside, the scene immediately became one-sided.

In addition, the Trail Blazers are back-to-back away games, and their physical fitness is very disadvantageous. In particular, Dunleavy likes a fixed lineup very much. Due to physical problems, their offensive state is very poor.

The third quarter is over.

The Magic expanded the point difference to 12 points.

In the fourth quarter, Dunleavy replaced Wells and Kemp.

Want to replicate the counterattack performance in the second quarter.

It's a pity that the Magic put their main players on the field and shrunk.

Both Wells and Kemp need to play inside and have no ability to evacuate.

At this point, the Magic's defensive ability began to show off.

Duncan and O'Neal's basket guards.

O'Neal, in particular, was the most excited, very active and desperate.

Plus Duncan's crackdown.

With the athletic talent of Hill, McGrady, Jackson and other players.

The Trail Blazers can't break through the inside, and the outside shooting is in poor shape.

hum~~
With the sound of the buzzer, the game time is over.

The score was 109 to 96, and the Magic had a 13-point advantage, defeating the Trail Blazers and achieving two consecutive victories.

Duncan scored 21 points and 12 rebounds. His score seemed to stretch his hips a bit. He won on defense and suppressed Rashid.

McGrady scored 31 points, 7 assists and 4 rebounds, not because of his superb performance, but because of the opponent's defense, which gave him too much space.

O'Neal evacuated several times, caught and shot the ball, played very well, scored 18 points and 10 rebounds, and let out a sigh of relief in front of his old club.

Hill had 13 points and 3 assists, neither bad nor bad.

皮蓬12投2中，拿到11分5助攻4篮板，已经失去了巨星的风采。

Rashid performed well with 28 points and 7 rebounds, but he had too many cheats, and he couldn't move him at his peak.

……

On March 11, TD Waterhouse Center Arena.

The Magic easily beat the Knicks 106-90 at home.

7 wins and 4 losses!
The Knicks' record looks pretty good.

Just, as Ewing left.

Camby was reused.

This person has a vitreous physique.

Missed this game due to injury.

As a result, the Knicks put Kurt Thomas, who is 2 meters tall, in the starting lineup and played a small lineup.

That's not Van Gundy's rhythm.

He likes to be a slow guy, but you want him to be a fast guy.

How can he play his defensive basketball?

Duncan, O'Neal, Magloire, Amici...

The four insiders easily crushed and won.
