NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 14 Magic McGrady, unstoppable!
Along with Lu Yuanzhi, in addition to the main player in the opening, there was Turkoglu.

Grant is old and has no impact at the basket. It is not a big problem to shake Turkoglu to the 4th position to top him.

Adelman didn't forget that when Lu Yuanzhi was on the court with Pollard or Fonder Burke in the last game, the Kings, known for their flamboyant offense, failed to fire. He specially replaced Turkoglu with outside shooting ability to ensure that The aggressiveness of the Kings lineup.

Lu Yuanzhi's task is very simple. On the defensive end, try to limit McGrady's scoring. As for the offensive end, he can eat the cake if he can. It doesn't matter if he can't. No one is counting on his scoring now.

Lu Yuanzhi stood in front of Tracy McGrady and carefully looked at the talented young man in front of him. He was about 2 meters tall and his wingspan should be close to 2 meters 2. Although his height and wingspan were slightly advantageous, he was not big enough to Ignore McGrady's speed.

McGrady is also sizing up the defender in front of him. He's not short. He's half a head taller than Christie before, and his wingspan is quite good. Is this a forward who wants to use his size advantage to defend me?

That's a big deal.

McGrady took a pass from Armstrong and assumed a triple-threat stance outside the three-point line.

Although Lu Yuanzhi was able to eliminate the wrong option of "passing", according to his observations in the first half, if he really had to let McGrady pull up, his bounce speed was also very fast and his bounce height was also high. If he couldn't keep up with McGrady, His movement speed really doesn't affect his pull-up jump shot.

Considering Tracy McGrady's hot touch in the first half, Lu Yuanzhi did not dare to let him shoot, so he could only stick to it.

Seeing that Lu Yuanzhi posted it, Mai Di was overjoyed, is this a silly criticism?Such a big man, don't you know how to take a step to prevent sudden attacks?It turns out that there is no defense at all.

Immediately, McGrady made a fake shot. He didn't need Lu Yuanzhi to take off, as long as Lu Yuanzhi's center of gravity moved up, it was enough, and then he quickly lowered his center of gravity, took the first step quickly, and dribbled through.

"So fast!"

Lu Yuanzhi was startled, he just moved his weight up with the ball slightly according to the defensive requirements, and saw that McGrady had already taken a big step quickly, rushing from his side to the basket.

I don't think about it!

Lu Yuanzhi quickly adjusted his center of gravity and took steps to catch up with McGrady from the side.

McGrady made an emergency stop and took off, and Lu Yuanzhi followed suit to block the shot, but his speed did not slow down, and due to inertia, he continued to fly forward, while McGrady waited for Lu Yuanzhi to fly away to give up the shooting space. Only then did he make a steady shot.

"brush!"

Two points hit!

Is this the scoring ability of a scoring champion?It’s so hard to guard against.

Although McGrady's expression was relaxed, he was taken aback in his heart. Where did this defender come from? He has a good height and wingspan, and his speed is not slow. If he forced himself to the basket just now, he might catch up and interfere. .

The schedule of NBA games is very tight, and the players themselves have to spend a lot of time training. Who would pay attention to a rookie like Lu Yuanzhi?

This is also the key to Lu Yuanzhi's ability to take advantage of the defense before. It belongs to the fact that the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark.

But McGrady used his talents and skills abruptly to score points under the situation of information asymmetry.

Looking back, Stojakovic responded with two points on the offense of the Kings, and it was time for Lu Yuanzhi to defend McGrady again.

After thinking about it again and again, Lu Yuanzhi felt that it was still necessary to let McGrady go half a step.

Before defending against Lewis, Lu Yuanzhi stuck close to Lewis, because Lewis was not as fast as him, so it was impossible to get rid of him with his speed.

But McGrady is different. His first step is fast and his stride is very long. If he really stands out, McGrady has tens of thousands of ways to put the ball into the basket.

This time McGrady received a pass from Hill, didn't dribble at all, and directly took off and shot from outside the three-point line.

Lu Yuanzhi didn't raise his center of gravity this time, and when he found out that McGrady was really a "bald lion cold arrow", he quickly jumped up, but there was no height for such a hasty jump, so he could only be sealed in McGrady's eyes with difficulty.

McGrady stretched his scissor kicks. Although his sight was blocked, his hands felt hot. This interference did not affect him at all. The arc of the ball was very flat, but it still got into the hoop steadily.

Another three points!

He scored 5 points in a row on his own face. Lu Yuanzhi didn't have such a strong offensive player. Even Duncan, who made him feel powerless, didn't have such a strong offensive power.

If I show a little space, McGrady will catch me, and then I will score the ball unreasonably.

Magic McGrady, unstoppable!
In other words, McGrady before he was injured was really hard to guard against!He always has a way to put the ball in the damn basket.

"Max, come here, come here!" On the sidelines, Bobby Jackson and Doug Christie stood together, beckoning Lu Yuanzhi to come over.

When Lu Yuanzhi saw that it was the two defensive elites inside and outside the team calling him, he knew that the old guys were about to burst gold coins again, so he quickly ran over.

"Max, stick to him, stick to him when he doesn't catch the ball, so he can't catch the ball."

"It's okay even if he dribbles up from the backcourt by himself, you just stick to him as soon as possible."

The advice of the old guys is very strange. He can understand not letting McGrady catch the ball, but he starts to lead the defense from the backcourt. What is that for?Isn't it a chance for McGrady to get rid of himself?

Seeing that Lu Yuanzhi still didn't understand, Christie quickly explained, "You use up his energy and see how I deal with him in the fourth quarter!"

ah!So this is ah!

Lu Yuanzhi is a substitute, and he is very energetic. No matter how much he wastes it, he can't get tired of playing more than one quarter, but McGrady is different. This kid has only played for 2 minutes now. Running for more than 45 minutes.

McGrady is still young. Although he has played in the league for several years, he is a high school student participating in the draft, but he is only one year older than Lu Yuanzhi, who was born in 80. In ordinary games, it is no problem even if he plays the whole game.

But if Bobby Jackson and Christie's method is followed, I will give McGrady strength in the third quarter, consume McGrady's physical strength, and make him completely invisible in the fourth quarter due to lack of physical strength.

As for whether anyone besides Tracy McGrady can stand up, this is not something Lu Yuanzhi and the three of them have to consider.

If someone can stand up, it is only natural for the Magic to win the game; if no one stands up, it will be an opportunity for the King to turn defeat into victory.

"If the free throw doesn't come, I would rather foul than let Tracy catch the ball. Anyway, you have 6 foul opportunities, and you can't use it up in one quarter." Bobby Jackson came up with a more ruthless idea next to him.

Let me see, these old guys really have something. Before, Lu Yuanzhi only thought about how to gain a foothold, or fantasized about killing everyone in the future and becoming the core of the team. He did not recognize his own position at all.

What does the rotation player do?Just don't be stingy with physical strength, don't be stingy with fouls, and play the greatest role in the shortest time to complete the team's technical and tactical goals.

Before playing for the Spurs, even though he knew that Duncan was on the inside, Divac still let him rush to the inside. Maybe he didn’t want to let him consume the inside of the Spurs. It’s just that David Robinson accidentally discovered David Robinson. Staged a deadly charge.

And today's goal is clear, that is, let Lu Yuanzhi run out of McGrady's physical strength!
When it came to the king's offense, Lu Yuanzhi made inferences and moved more aggressively. McGrady's physical strength was consumed not only on the defensive end, but also on the offensive end to put pressure on him, so he couldn't make him comfortable.

On the basketball court, defense is much more tiring than offense, not only physically, but also mentally. You must concentrate to avoid being caught off guard by the opponent.

Lu Yuanzhi led McGrady around and around the Magic half. Although he didn't catch the ball, McGrady didn't dare to let him go. Several times, if McGrady hadn't caught up in time, Lu Yuanzhi would have been able to catch the pass from the outside. He went straight to the basket.

This attack ended with Bibby hitting a one-step jumper inside the three-point line.

When it came to the Magic's offensive round, McGrady discovered that Lu Yuanzhi's defensive strategy had changed and he followed him when he didn't catch the ball.

At this time, the league also allows "HC", which is "HAND CHECK". The defensive player can put his hand on the offensive player to confirm the offensive player's position.

Can "HC" be enough?Lu Yuanzhi simply turned his body sideways to block between McGrady and the Magic ball-handler, running without hesitation in physical strength, and kept colliding with McGrady with his stronger body.
