He ran to the outside of the three-point line, caught the ball and dribbled it out, and jumped straight up, a series of numbers flashed in front of his eyes.

65…71…69…76…56……

Lin Bai's counterrun was very sudden, and Rod Strickland turned around and chased back very quickly, but he didn't expect that the opponent would choose this attack method, and he was not resolute in rushing forward.

The jump was also caught off guard, two steps away from the three-point line, Rod Strickland just put on a show, reached out to interfere, and turned to look at the basket.

When Lin Bai jumped out at the number 71, he directly pulled the basketball out of his hand. Although his shot was a bit fast, the rhythm was not chaotic, and the shooting was done smoothly.

The basketball arced high in the air.

With the hand raised and the knife dropped, the basketball was hollowed into the net, and there was a burst of water.

A three-pointer was hit.

Then, in the 4th minute of the third quarter, the Cavaliers attacked and James protected the ball in the frontcourt.

Boozer pulled to the side from the low post, helped Lindbergh screen out, and then slid down.

Outside the 65-degree three-point line on the right, Lin Bai received a point from James, screened out of the gap, jumped up, his body bloomed in the air, and a series of numbers floated past his eyes.

36…45…19…33…42……

Lin Bai took off with a straight jump, and his posture was picturesque, but seeing such a low touch, he quickly picked up the basketball, and in a very awkward posture, he completed a smash pass with both hands, and passed the basketball into the inside lane.

Boozer dribbled the ball, held the ball with both hands, and took off with steps. With a bang, he poured the basketball into the basket heavily, grabbed the basket with both hands, hung the whole thing on the basket, and raised his legs.

Gooden on the left, seeing Boozer complete the jump with the ball, didn't dare to jump forward and quickly dodged. Otherwise, it would become the background for Boozer's two-handed slam dunk, and even sent a foul to Boozer. Zell completed the 2+1 scoring opportunity.

Lin Bai runs off the ball or cooperates with Boozer to get rid of the defense, or makes a three-point shot, or jumps up and passes the ball after a pick-and-roll screen, and plays impressively. Not only does Lin Bai hit consecutive three-pointers, he can even pass the ball to assist Boozer After completing the attack frame, it restrained the Magic's defense, and even McGrady shifted to the right to help defend.

With the containment of Lin Bai and Boozer, the offense on the left side also slowly came out. After all, Ilgauskas was 221cm tall, and Gooden, who was 208cm tall, actively defended around the front and cut off the passing route. It is also impossible to interfere with Ilgauskas' receiving the ball every time, let Ilgauskas play in the low position on the left, score several consecutive shots, score consecutive points, and even be pinched by two people. Point the ball to the perimeter of the three-pointer and find Kapono.

When he got an open three-point shot, Kapono was able to grasp it, which is still very good. The whole movement of catching the ball, jumping up, and shooting was very standard without any extra movements. He raised the knife and dropped it steadily. A three-pointer from the bottom corner broke the Magic's zone defense or pincer attack against Ilgauskas.

The Cavaliers' offense on the right and left has been activated one after another. James, who holds the ball in the middle, plays very calmly, and he can organize forward play very well.

First, he made a three-threat move, shooting, passing, and breaking through. Then, James made a tentative step. McGrady put on a defensive posture and cracked James' tentative steps one by one. There was no room for James to find a breakthrough.

Just when McGrady thought that James' offense was blocked, James held the ball and lifted it up, making a three-pointer shot.

Want three points***?

McGrady naturally didn't give James an easy shot, and quickly rushed forward. Sen's extremely fast first step made him calmly rush forward, jumping up to block the shot.

Unexpectedly, James learned McGrady's tricks, took the basketball back, took a step sideways, stepped to the right, dribbled through, and went inside.

One step from the free throw line, pull the ball up, jump up in three steps, dunk in the air with both hands, complete a wonderful breakthrough layup, turn around and dunk.

Seeing that James has his own tricks, he came back to pay him a ball, McGrady smiled wryly, and his eyes became very bright.

Barkley, who was in the commentary seat, laughed heartily, and said cheerfully: "McGrady hunts geese all day long, but I never thought that he would be pecked by geese. He used this trick to bully James continuously. Who would have thought that James would learn to So masterfully, he immediately responded with this trick, and even staged a wonderful post-up dunk.

James did a great job!That's how you should deal with McGrady! ! "

Kenny Smith nodded and said with a smile: "James copied McGrady's point-forward style of play, played well, and even ranked among the top three in the regular season at one point! Compared with McGrady, he can only score. Wang, but the team has been losing so much that it is not a star.

I heard that James’s idol is McGrady. I have to say that McGrady’s elegant, beautiful and gorgeous style of play is very eye-catching. That kind of temperament is like an elf in the forest. went in.

However, the scoring ability of the two is still not much different.Although James does not have the elegance of McGrady, his ability to lead the team in the future will definitely be several grades higher than McGrady. "

As soon as Kenny Smith's words fell, McGrady arced at the top of the three-point line, caught the ball and made a three-point shot. The basketball made a precise hit and fell into the basket with a swish.

Immediately afterwards, Boozer made a quick serve from the bottom line, James received the ball, advanced quickly, and quickly came to the frontcourt without pausing, directly accelerating to break through from the center ball.

McGrady was on guard tightly and refused to give an inch. James leaned on McGrady's body and rushed into the three-point line. He stopped suddenly while driving, dribbled the ball from the right side to the left side, flashed out of the space, and jumped straight back two times. split up.

McGrady defended and retreated. Facing James' sudden stop, his body's defensive center of gravity shifted. Fortunately, his physical talent is very strong. He used the fast first step to accelerate, quickly adjusted back, and pounced on James. .

It's just that James dribbled the ball with his back and jumped up to make a two-point shot. The rhythm was very fast, and he added a little fallback.

From emergency stops, behind-the-back dribbles, left lateral movement, and jumping shots, the whole movement has no stagnation, the clouds are like water, the body is blooming in the air, and the hand feels very smooth.

The basketball draws a beautiful arc in the air.

There was a crisp sound of scraping the net, and the basketball hit the net.

With the knife in his hand and down, he made a steady two-pointer with a two-pointer.

The Cavaliers' offense was also full of firepower, and they were on par with the Magic. They fought back and forth. Although the scores of the two sides rose rapidly, neither of them could prevent the opponent's attack.

At the end of the third quarter, the offense of both sides was impressive. With the last attack, McGrady broke through James and sent the ball to the inside. Juwan Howard completed an alley-oop. The Magic won 89 to 88 with only one point advantage. Leading the Cavaliers into the final battle of life and death.
