Chapter 126

That night, the Cavaliers and the Magic started a duel in the Amway Center Arena, and the two sides lined up and the game was about to start.

Tracy McGrady, wearing a blue, white and blue jersey with the number 1 of the Magic team printed on his chest, was cheered by the people of Orlando as soon as he appeared on the court.

McGrady and Ling Bo greeted each other in the air, and waved to James, who was not very familiar with him.

In the anticipation of the fans, the bald hunk Ilgauskas won the offensive ball for the Cavaliers, made two or three moves, came to the frontcourt, and let Limbo distribute the ball.

The opening of the new Iron Triangle was a triangle offense. After not too frequent moves, James hit two points from the free throw line.

The Magic launched a counterattack. They launched a fast break. Tyronn Lue and McGrady's connected pass was stopped by Limbo and James, and the fast break also fell into a positional battle.

From the perspective of the starting lineups of the two teams, the Cavaliers with Ilgauskas have a great advantage in the interior, so they are not afraid of falling into position.

The Magic have a lot of guards, they can spare no effort to run wildly and launch a fast break, even if they are exhausted, they still have enough personnel for rotation.

Lingbo wished the Magic could play fast breaks, and fast attacking was Lingbo's specialty, and Lingbo's microsteps, which were faster than Lingzi's, had never been afraid of anyone.

The Magic, which fell into a positional battle, still gave the ball to McGrady. James and Newbell switched defenses. Ira Newbell was the swingman of the forward position. This defense can be flexibly changed.

The defense of these five people is completely different from the one-on-one defense in heads-up. Maybe it is difficult for Ling Bo to defend against McGrady in a bullfight, but the defense of the five people can help build a whole line of defense. , Give McGrady a wave of one-stop service.

McGrady didn't score in the first attack against the Cavaliers' blockade. On the other hand, the rest of the Magic were just like fans on the court, without any movement.

The bald man took the rebound and swayed left and right to find Lingbo. Lingbo broke through the tie bar and scored a layup, rewriting the score to 4-0.

From these two matches, it can be seen that the Cavaliers attacked the city aggressively, the Magic defended the city, and McGrady could not support it alone.

No wonder a team led by a scoring champion has become a team in the Eastern Lottery.

But this can be difficult for McGrady, which is obviously impossible. He was the scoring leader last season. So far this season, McGrady still ranks first in scoring with 28.2 points.

When it comes to the scoring list, McGrady occupies the top spot. Garnett, Kobe, and Pierce are ranked second, third, and fourth respectively. Limbo is in the fifth position, averaging 25.5 points per game. This may be the biggest honor for a rookie.

Behind are Tim Duncan, Stojakovic, Carter, Nowitzki and others.

The appearance of Ling Bo in this scoring list is very abrupt, surrounded by a group of players at the All-Star level and even the future Super Giant level.

Closer to home, McGrady attacked with the ball again, and without waiting for James' defense to be in place outside the three-point line, he directly pulled out his hand and pierced his heart with an arrow.

It is no exaggeration to say that McGrady's three-pointers are the most accurate among the four shooting guards. Apart from Carter who often dunks, McGrady also has the highest shooting percentage.It is precisely because of his hits and three-point shooting ability that the McGrady moment came later.

Once McGrady starts the scoring mode, it is very difficult to resist the young Zhan, and it is also difficult to defend Limbo, just like the game with the Lakers. It is almost impossible to fully restrict an All-Star guard.

In that game, Limbo could only put pressure on Kobe and reduce his shooting percentage, but Kobe could still score 30+ points, so the same is true for McGrady in this game. It is not enough to rely on one person's defense, but it is also difficult to rely on the defense of the whole team. Difficulties, McGrady has teammates after all, even if they can give little help, they are four real people after all, players who enter the NBA have certain strengths, and it is impossible to completely ignore them.

In the first quarter of the game, the Cavaliers put a lot of pressure on McGrady. He still survived in the cracks and scored 10 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist. He made 10 shots and hit two 3-pointers and two two-pointers.

At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers still took the lead. Limbo, James and Big Z scored mainly. Limbo scored 7 points, James 6 points, and Big Z 5 points. The score in a single quarter was 24 to 18.

McGrady's performance in the first quarter is destined to prevent the game from ending prematurely, at least before the split reaches [-] points.

Ten or twenty points is a watershed point difference in NBA games. If a certain team opens up a point difference of [-] points in a game, it is already a big advantage, especially in the final quarter, which will make them play even better. Take it easy, attack without pressure, and defend naturally.

If the point difference of a game is opened to 80.00 points, there is an [-]% possibility that the game will end early.There are games where a [-]-point difference is reversed, and we often hear reports that a certain team has completed a major reversal of how many points under the leadership of a certain star, but most teams still cannot come back.

But it is extremely difficult to open a game to [-] points, unless it is the kind of all-round crushing, the strength is not at the same level, let alone [-] points, even [-] points, [-] points, especially It is in the international arena, which is what the dream team often does.

Judging from McGrady's aggressiveness and good touch in the first quarter, McGrady won't let the game point difference widen too much, even if he is allowed to play for 48 minutes, he will do it.

That's why, at the beginning of the second quarter, Limbo led the Cavaliers to come off the bench, and McGrady was also on the court. He was used to the dependence of his teammates, and he was used to his teammates giving him the ball when he had no chance.But Ling Bo is different, Ling Bo needs to take care of his teammates and help them.

Limbo played 4 minutes in the second quarter before taking a break, and James took over the game, while McGrady took a 3-minute break throughout the first half.

Hard work, God paid off, McGrady finally tied the score in 3 minutes before halftime, and then went to rest.

Some fans think that with the Cavaliers lineup, Ling Bo is very tired and has to worry about everything, which is too difficult.But looking at Tracy McGrady, that's what makes him tired.

As far as the lineup is concerned, the Cavaliers with Limbo, James, Boozer and Ilgauskas are much better than the Orlando Magic. If McGrady is given an All-Star teammate, the Magic will definitely be able to hit the playoffs. Instead of lying in the lottery zone now, whichever team comes over can wantonly ravage it, and feel sorry for McGrady for a second.

If you think about it in another way, McGrady has unlimited firepower in every game in the Magic, which makes him always lead the scoring list.If there is a good teammate, McGrady will give up some of the ball, and the idea of ​​winning the scoring title will become more difficult.

49 to 49, the two sides tied in the first half and entered the intermission.
