Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 192 McGrady is Grabbing Points!
Eastern offense.

Iverson stepped down and dribbled the ball continuously, suddenly changed direction drastically, like a motorcycle, and broke through to the inside.

This is completely treating the All-Star Game as a 76ers game.

Kidd wasn't used to him.

Kidd went close to him. At the same time, Payton and Kobe gave up the defense of others and rushed towards Iverson.

"Oops.

Iverson was blocked and couldn't move.

Payton stole the basketball, Kobe has already charged..."

Bang-dang-!
Kobe rushed to the frontcourt, came a 180-degree folding buckle, and scored two points.

8 to 5! !
Kobe, Kidd, and Payton, all three have been selected for the defensive team many times, and they are all outside ceilings.

The three of them work together to deal with the offensive ball, even if Jordan plays it, they can't break the defense.

Iverson likes to play hero ball. To put it bluntly, he is alone. He almost regards the All-Star stage as a one-man show.

I have singled out Kidd many times, but failed.

McGrady was also pegged by Kobe.

Carter also couldn't please in front of Peyton.

The Western Stars gradually opened up the score, expanding to 23 points at the maximum, and the game seemed to lose its suspense.

Second half of the game.

Li Mu changed, replaced by Iverson and Marbury, these two independent forces, replaced by Ray Allen and Houston, these two shooters opened up the space.

Then put on Duncan and use it to grab rebounds.

One big and four small, counterattack with all their strength.

Marbury, the peak Marbury, broke through Kidd's defense, drifted and scored a layup.

Iverson broke through, passed Payton, and scored a layup and dunk.

The 96 rookie's backcourt gold pair of guns played a whirlwind of quick hits, set off a wave of chasing points, and shot from inside and outside, which was completely unstoppable.

In the end, the peak Iverson began to explode supernaturally.

At the last second, he killed the Western Stars and led the Eastern Stars to a major reversal.

21投9中，三分球1投1中，罚球6中6，轰下25分5助攻4抢断，艾弗森完全救赎拿到了全明星赛MVP。

……

The All-Star Weekend is over.

On February 2, the Magic easily defeated the Wizards with a score of 14 to 128.

Juwan Howard was traded to the Mavericks. At this time, only Hamilton can play on the Wizards.

The CIC king is also really good, scoring 35 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds.

It is obviously a dream for a person to win the entire Magic team.

McGrady scored 46 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds. He was on the scoring list and finally surpassed Iverson's 0.1 points per game and rose to the top of the scoring list.

On February 2, the Magic played away against the Clippers.

McGrady scored 43 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds, consolidating his position as the scoring leader.

With a score of 125 to 102, the Magic beat the Clippers by 23 points.

January 2, Madison Square Garden Arena.

The Magic beat the Knicks 107-105.

McGrady fought back to back and was not in good shape.

However, he chose to ignore his teammates, he was grabbing points, and chose to do it himself.

It turned out that Iverson scored 51 points in the first game and regained the top spot in the scoring list.

McGrady can only bite the bullet and fight.

As a result, all kinds of unreasonable dry pulls out, or frequent strikes, turned into four ups and three irons.

Finally, Duncan played steadily, grabbing 16 rebounds and scoring 26 points alone, which kept the score difference from being widened.

The Magic waited until McGrady's condition picked up. In the end, McGrady missed a three-pointer against the madman's block.

Jermaine O'Neal grabbed the offensive rebound, dunked the lore to kill the Knicks, and helped the team win 6 consecutive victories again.

On March 2, TD Waterhouse Center Arena.

The Suns came to challenge.

30 wins and 21 losses!
The 6th place record in the West.

To be reasonable, the Suns' performance this season is a bit stretched.

No way, Hardaway only played 4 games and was reimbursed for the season.

Tom Gugliotta was sidelined with an injury and was sidelined with one-third of the game.

Kidd is leading two veterans and two rookies in the battle. No matter how strong his ability is, he can't help but be able to cook without rice.

During the simple appearance and warm-up, the starting lineups of both sides for tonight's match were also displayed on the screen in the arena.

The Magic started with 5 players, McGrady, Jackson, Hill, Duncan, and O'Neal.

The Suns started with 5 players, Kidd, Mario Ellis, Marion, Clifford Robinson, Jack Chakalidis.

With a jump ball, Jack beat Duncan and put the basketball in Kidd's hands.

Dribble to the frontcourt and face McGrady's free 'base tactics.

Clifford Robinson pulled out high and played a pick-and-roll with Kidd.

Robinson received the ball, made a three-pointer, raised his hand and pulled it out...

Swish-!
3 to 0! !
Clifford Robinson, as the inside line of the three-point turret, has a very strong ability to evacuate. This season, he can average 17 points and 5 rebounds per game.

The Magic attack the Suns inside.

O'Neal received the ball, lifted it up, took a step, knocked Jack away with his body, jumped up, and hit the buckle with one hand with a bang.

3 to 2! !
Jake Chakalidis was the 2000th overall pick in 25.

As a white insider, with limited physical talent, experience awareness, and defensive skills, they are not O'Neal's opponents.

No way, the Suns are too weak inside. If they want to break through the playoffs, they must train.

Clifford Robinson's offense is okay, but he doesn't have the ability to protect the basket.

The goal of the Suns has never been the regular season. Their internal strength is not good enough, and they are destined to not go far in the playoffs in the Western Theater.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Suns attack.

Kidd continued to be shorted.

The title of "Basic Bugong" is still very loud.

Kidd and Marion hit an outside screen.

In the horn area, Marion made a two-point jumper...

Swish-!
5 to 2! !
"The Suns style, that's it, is a shooting team," Mike Breen said.

The Magic attack.

Kidd and Marion, defense is very good.

McGrady continued to play the ball inside.

Duncan catches the ball, bumps Robinson away with his back, turns around and hits the board...

Boom, swish—!
5 to 4! !
To be reasonable, Clifford Robinson's defense is not bad, and he entered the second team of the best defense.

But who is also looking at offense?
In front of Duncan, the defensive second team is also a send.

Height, confrontation, technique, all fell to the wind, and was easily dealt with, nothing to worry about.

At the beginning of the game, the Magic frequently attacked the Suns' weaknesses.

Keeping playing inside, the Suns' defense was losing ground.

Marion and Kidd shrunk up to assist in the flanking attack.

Duncan and O'Neal immediately passed the ball outside.

Hill made a three-pointer and started to make contributions.

When McGrady broke through, he tore through the Suns' defense, hit the basket, and succeeded in attacking.

The rhythm of the game is completely controlled by the Magic.

After the first quarter, the Magic led the Suns by 29 points with a score of 22 to 7.

In the second quarter, Li Mu let Duncan and McGrady continue to play.

Put on, Armstrong, Mike Miller and Magloire are all regular rotations.

Such a lineup left the Suns coach Skiles very speechless.

The strength of the cards is not enough, and only the main players can come together.

Kidd, Marion and Robinson, the three continued to play.

Bring on Tony Delk and Rodney Rodgers.
