Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 171 An Offensive Ability Too Strong to Be Ignored!
The Magic attack.

In the frontcourt, McGrady split the ball to Duncan to play inside.

From behind, he suddenly hung up, entered the basket, stuck in the position, bang, swish——!
5 to 6! !
Duncan forced the attack and scored.

The same power forward in the class of 97 and the same name as Tim, the gap between being a player is so big.

Duncan, the No. 24 pick, has averaged 12 points and [-] rebounds per game.

Tim Thomas, the seventh pick, can only get half of Duncan's data, averaging 7 points and 12 rebounds per game.

To be fair, maybe half is not enough.

George Karl shook his head.

There is only one Duncan, and he has nothing to do with it.

We can only hope that the three muskets on the outside can be more competitive.

Not to mention, the Bucks have something offensively on the perimeter.

Kassel opened the frontcourt directly.

Pointing at Jackson with his butt, step by step, arching and beating.

Soon, he found that hitting Jackson was very difficult to arch, so he turned around and broke through immediately.

With the cover of the inside Mark Pope, a change of direction, the corner area, raised his hand and shot a mid-range jumper...

Like putting on a scope, Cassel's mid-range shot hits steadily.

7 to 6! !
CIC is accurate, and the label of Alien Cassel.

The offense is stable this season, and he can still average 19 points and 7 assists per game.

Offensive and defensive transitions, the Magic still play inside.

McGrady saw Duncan being defended around the front and immediately passed the ball to O'Neal.

Catch the ball, take a dribble, physically confront Mark Pope, and use his athletic ability to hit the basket.

With a bang, he dunked the dunk with both hands, and his whole body was hung on the basket.

7 to 8! !
In other words, this round is a duel between insiders of the 96 golden generation.

O'Neal was the 17th pick in the first round, and Mark Pope was the second round pick.

The respective data is a sky and a ground.

O'Neal averaged 13 points and 8 rebounds per game this season.

Mark Pope had 2 points and 2 rebounds, which was simply used to make up the numbers.

Pope was able to start because he is very versatile, he can cover, he can make mid-range shots, he can grab rebounds, he can defend...

Well, none of these are brilliantly done.

Fortunately, he played very hard.

Moreover, the core of the Bucks is the perimeter, and Pope is just a tool man after all.

Next, the Bucks attacked.

Still focusing on the outside line, Ray Allen cuts without the ball, runs back to catch the basketball, lifts the ball a little, and makes a three-pointer.

Maddie rushed over.

Very helpless, when a player shoots a three-pointer from the outside and has almost the same hit rate as a two-pointer, he has to guard against it.

At this time, Ray Allen is an offensive threat, just like Curry in later generations.

No one dares to let go easily.

Ray Allen received the ball, took a sudden step, and easily passed McGrady. Before McGrady turned back to chase, he immediately pulled the ball up and made a two-point jump shot...!
Swish-!
Hollow into the net.

9 to 8! !
"Ray Allen had a breakthrough.

If what underestimated him was offense with the ball, it would probably be bad.

He's not a pure shooter.

He was given such a personality just because his shots were so accurate.

People forget, oh, how can Ray Allen break through with the ball? ’ explained Mike Breen.

It's like O'Neill.

His center forward skills are good, but because he can only use his body, others forget that his center forward skills are good.

Obviously you can make a mid-range shot and use a more labor-saving scoring method, why do you need to dribble?

Of course, such Ray Allen is the most difficult to defend.

Because, he pretended casually.

The defender can only pounce. If he doesn't pounce, Ray Allen's shot may become real.

The Magic attack.

McGrady breaks through with the ball, makes an emergency stop, pulls up and throws back...

Clang.

Missed a shot.

O'Neal grabbed the rebound and passed the basketball after being stuck in the position.

Jackson catches the ball, raises his hand and shoots a three-point jumper...

Bang-dang-!
Still misses.

Duncan jumped up and took off the rebound.

With a feint shot, he casually sent the basketball out of the line.

Hill catches the ball, shoots a [-]-point jumper...

"Yes!
Swish.

Hill's three-pointer.

This round of attack was too cruel.

The Magic go back, and they can shoot with confidence from the outside, and make bold shots.

Because the Magic are grabbing rebounds and crushing the Bucks. "The groom Albert shook his head and said.

Know, next, the game will enter a watershed.

If the Bucks can't withstand the offense, it is very likely that the game will collapse.

9 to 11! !
Don't look at the difference in scores.

However, the offense just now hit the Bucks too hard.

It depends on how the Bucks clean up their mood.

On the field.

Kassel dribbled the ball slowly like an old man.

It seemed that he was completely unaffected by the blow just now.

More than ten seconds of attack time passed.

He seems to have lost track of time.

Suddenly, outside the three-point line, the ball was pulled up, and the three-pointer was pulled out...

Jackson was caught off guard. .

Swish-!
Have it.

Three point hit.

Cassel returned the favor.

12 to 11! !
Alien Cassel, with his knees bent, his arms drooping, and his hands clasped together.

This is the Cassell dance.

Every time he hits a key ball, he will celebrate like this.

Outside the arena, the fans booed loudly. This is the home court of the Magic.

Kassel's celebration is provocation.

On the field.

The faces of the Magic players became serious and full of murderous intent.

Playing wild at other people's home courts is intolerable.

McGrady held the ball in the frontcourt and forced Kassel, inside, in front of Kassel, forcibly pulled out his hand...

Swish-!
McGrady ignored his opponent and made a strong kill.

Later, it was McGrady who broke through, and it was the same dry pull.

Flick in the air.

Duncan made an empty cut to the inside, and made an alley-oop. With a bang, his whole body was hung on the basket.

Next, it was McGrady's performance again, outside the three-point line, a dry jumper shot...

Kassel didn't respond as if he was dumbfounded.

Swish-!
The Magic's offense went in again.

After the first quarter, the score was 33 to 28, and the Magic led by 5 points.

McGrady and Duncan teamed up to score 21 points, blasting the Bucks inside and outside.

However, the Bucks' three muskets shot well, and the score gap was not that big.

In the second quarter of the game, Li Mu only let McGrady stay on the court and replaced Armstrong, Miller, Magloire, and Amici.

When George Karl saw it, he felt a little cursing in his heart.

Without Duncan and O'Neal.

The Magic's inside line can still crush the Bucks.

He can only continue to make a fuss on the outside.

Ray Allen, Robinson and Thomas continued to play.

Put on Lynch Hunter and Elvin Johnson, these two veterans.

The game is on.

Armstrong broke through with the ball.

Lynch Hunter, who is 1 meters tall, can't keep up with his footsteps at all.

Go to the inside, attract the defense, and easily assist Amici to score a dunk under the basket.

Bucks here.

Robinson singled out the ball.

Hit McGrady from the back and hit a two-point jumper.

Although Robinson is a waste of talent, he is still unstoppable offensively.

Of course, defensively, he is impossible to defend.

Looking back, McGrady broke through easily, gliding under the basket and dunking, and scored the basketball.

Soon, the Magic's bench strength began to exert strength.

In the 6th minute of the second quarter, the point difference has been expanded to 8 points.

Then, Li Mu waved his hand and replaced Duncan, O'Neal, Hill, Jackson and Maggette. .

This……

George Karl was speechless.

The inside line was already crushed, but now the lineup has such a big advantage.

And let no one live?
……
