Chapter 375 Talking with McGrady

The long regular season has finally come to an end. This round of the regular series is joyous for the advancing teams from the east and west, but disappointing for the sixteen teams that were eliminated. The ending is already in front of us, the deal is done, there is no room for maneuver, we can only prepare for the war and fight again in the coming year.

On the night of April NO.17, all the teams played against each other. The official NBA website immediately announced the playoffs. At the same time, many NBA experts and celebrities began to boldly predict the situation of the East and West advancing to the second round.

He predicts that the East will advance to the second round with the Pistons, Nets, Pacers, and 76ers; the West will have the Spurs, Lakers, Kings, and Mavericks.

These experts speculated and thought about it with most of the fans. They also thought that the final trend would be like this, but what will happen on the field? If you have a good record in the regular season, you will definitely win?Sometimes it is certain, sometimes it is negative, because there is no team that does not want the championship. As for those teams that will advance to the second round, they can only be patient and wait and see the changes in the game. However, generally the record in the regular season is good , can be promoted, except for special circumstances, occasionally one or two dark horses come galloping, and with the unstoppable momentum of Baoju, they insist that the team stronger than them knelt down and begged for mercy.

There are such dark horse teams every year, but even if they survive the first round, they are often defeated in the second round and stopped out. At this time, the so-called dark horse only gets this sentence: "Thank you for eliminating the ××× team for me ", the so-called dark polo team was so angry that they kicked their feet and vomited blood, but they didn't expect that after desperately fighting, they became someone else's chess piece.

Although this situation exists every year, there are still teams that want to break out in adversity and rely on their strength to go from No.8 in the East and West to the finals of the East and West, and finally to the championship. It will appear, and if it appears, then the game will be worth watching, and the weak team can compete with the strong team.

As soon as the schedule came out, fans of every team rushed to grab tickets, fearing that they would miss a wonderful game.

Because the Pistons have such a good record this year, No. [-] in the East, the people in the Motor City have seen the light of the Champions Cup, but the light is very faint, very weak, and very dazzling. This is the first time after more than ten years, they once again Seeing a glimmer of hope for the championship, as for whether the champion can be reborn in the Motor City after the smiling assassin, it depends on the Piston Five Tigers.

On April 21st, the Pistons home court was packed with fans wearing the jerseys of their favorite players, looking forward to the start of the first game, and hoping that the home team could win, defeat the Magic led by McGrady, and retreat unscathed.

After a burst of cheering applause and a hoarse, but loud and clear whistle, the game officially started. The starting players of both sides have not changed, and the rotation lineup has not changed much compared to the regular season.

It may be due to the fact that the Pistons are at home. The Magic center was a little nervous. His nerves were too tight and he hesitated for a while. Ben Wallace easily jumped into the hands of Hamilton for the first wave of possession. Hamilton advanced with the ball and found it on the way. Neal, pass the ball to him. Neal dribbled a few times in front of McGrady. Ben Wallace asked for the ball in the penalty area, so he passed the ball to him and gave him a wink.

Ben Wallace instantly understood what Neil meant. He put the ball away with a dribble, leaned his shoulder against his defensive center, and protected the ball well. Facing the defender, there was a hook layup without looking at the basket.

Since he had already shot the ball, the center forward who was defending him only took off to block the shot, which resulted in a slow beat, and in the end, a little energy wasted in vain.

Although his teammates were not strong enough to defend for the first time, McGrady was still calm and actively applauded his teammates: "Very good! Come on! Well done, be active in defense, and try to help defend and pick-and-roll without losing your position .”

Since the opponent is No. [-] in the Eastern Conference, all the teammates are very afraid and worried.

But no matter how scared his teammates are, McGrady is not afraid, and he tries to use scoring to drive the confidence and courage of his teammates.

McGrady held the ball and advanced the frontcourt. Since Neil was not as tall as him and his wingspan was not as long as he was defending, he chose to force Neil. After a few coquettish dribbles, he suddenly paused for about a second and accelerated the pace. Twice, pull the ball up, against Neal's high-jumping defense, take a long two-point shot, and make a steady shot.

"Neil, defensive skills need to be improved!" After McGrady made the shot, he turned his head and retreated to the defense for a second. He glanced at Neal contemptuously, full of sarcasm, and smiled lightly.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Neil smiled slightly, also not to be outdone: "McGrady, your pull-up fadeaway just now is as reliable as your height and wingspan."

"That's natural, because I'm quite a basketball guy."

Neil didn't continue to return, just smiled lightly, bypassing McGrady to catch the serve.

Neil took the serve, held the ball and advanced quickly, like a nimble little spinning top, circled the penalty area, the opponent was about to double-team, but McGrady stopped his teammates arrogantly: "No need to help defend, brothers! I can handle it!"

Neil glanced at McGrady calmly, pointed at McGrady in front of him, said nothing, received the ball and passed it outside the three-point line, and through a simple reverse run, brought McGrady in front of Rashid, and accelerated his run In the past, Rashid quickly moved up to pick and roll Tracy McGrady. Neal swam quickly beyond the three-point line and gestured for the ball. His teammates gave him the ball immediately without even thinking about it. The opponent caught the ball and took a glance. Without hesitation, he shot resolutely and decisively. The ball gathered into a beautiful rainbow bridge in the eyes of parents, lovers and fans, and moved to the basket with the ball.

There was only a clear and sweet sound from the ball and the basket, and the audience stood up and cheered for him.

Parents and Lavender waved their hands and said loudly: "Neil, come on, we love you, you are the best!"

Because McGrady taunted and despised him just now, he decided to repay him with his own way. When he passed by McGrady, he laughed: "McGrady, no matter how good your game skills are, no matter how talented you are, your routines are not as deep as mine. , Playing depends on your brain, not just blindly playing singles to win."

"Neil, don't laugh too early. Everything is still unknown. Based on your words, I will definitely make you look good today."

"I'm not afraid of you, show whatever strength you have. I know you're very domineering, but I'm worried that you won't have a chance to show it. If I have the chance, I might show it on your behalf, enliven the atmosphere at home, and please everyone." Get the fans."

"You... just wait for me, I will definitely pull the piston at your home court today."

"Brother, don't be so mad, we are number one, you are number eight!" Neil's teammates cheered as they passed by.

Hearing such contemptuous words, Maddy suddenly didn't want to be a gentleman anymore, wanted to be a villain, and fought with the five Pistons, but when he thought of that, he fell into the trap. They hit hard and led the team to destroy it directly.

Neil and McGrady fought each other, which made the normal game a little bit of gunpowder. As for whether it can be ignited and explode, it is temporarily unknown, because the game has just started, and there are still 10 minutes before the end of the game.
