Chapter 58
Before the start of the game against the Detroit Pistons, Xu Nuo had been looking forward to playing against Tracy McGrady, because Xu Nuo wanted to see how his pull-up jumper was compared to Tracy McGrady's. Who will be better.However, Xu Nuo didn't get such a chance until nearly 4 minutes into the second quarter.

At this time, the Detroit Pistons, who are playing at home, have been under pressure from their opponent, the Indiana Pacers where Xu Xu is, and they have no advantage at all on the scene.And the score has always been behind the opponent.Detroit Pistons head coach Lawrence Frank had to replace the team's point guard Will Bynum on the court with Tracy McGrady, wanting to rely on Tracy McGrady's game experience and The passing organization opens things up for the team.

"Great!" Xu Nuo said when he saw Tracy McGrady ready to play, "I can finally fight McGrady!"

The team's small forward and veteran James Posey glanced at the promise and asked, "Why are you looking forward to playing McGrady so much?"

"Because I really want to see whether my pull-up jumper is better or McGrady's pull-up jumper is better." Xu Nuo replied.

James Posey's eyes widened in surprise.

"You actually want to try the pull-up jump shot with Tracy McGrady, the ancestor of the pull-up jump shot?" James Posey said with a look of surprise.

"Of course!" Xu Nuo said with a smile, "I've been looking forward to this moment for a long time."

"Aren't you afraid of being humiliated by McGrady?" James Posey asked.

Xu Nuo glanced at James Posey, "Don't worry, I won't necessarily lose." Xu Nuo said.

James Posey walked away straight after listening, as if he was still saying something in his mouth, and the promise seemed to be: "Young people nowadays..."

Xu Nuo couldn't help but smiled, squeezed his fist, he was ready to fight Tracy McGrady.

At this time, the referee on duty blew his whistle and the game restarted.

"Now our point guard is replaced by Tracy McGrady. I think Coach Lawrence Frank put Tracy on the field to use his experience and passing to help the team open the situation." Auburn Hills Palace Ball The on-site commentator in the museum said so.

But Tracy McGrady did not change the team's current situation immediately after he came on the court. McGrady dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, handed the ball to Ben Gordon, and retreated beyond the three-point line .Pistons center Jason McSheil stepped up and set a pick-and-roll screen for Ben Gordon, and Ben Gordon immediately circled Jason McSheil towards the Indiana Pacers basket.But the Indiana Pacers' two inside players, center Josh McRoberts and power forward Tyler Hansbrough, protected their own baskets in time. Sticking it on Ben Gordon made it impossible for Ben Gordon to stop the jumper suddenly, and Ben Gordon returned without success.At this time, Ben Gordon suddenly turned around under the basket, and the ball flew out to the outside following the powerful force of this turn.

"He's going to pass it to McGrady!" Xu Nuo thought in his heart, and at the same time, Xu Nuo quickly came to Tracy McGrady, ready to block McGrady's attack.

Although Ben Gordon's ball was passed to McGrady, McGrady did not choose to attack by himself after receiving the ball, but immediately passed it to Greg Gate who was outside the three-point line in the bottom corner. Ro.Although the power forward Greg Monroe of the Detroit Pistons is a power forward, he actually has a good mid-range shot.But this time, Greg Monroe didn't hit the outside three-pointer.Tyler Hansbrough grabs the backcourt rebound and the Indiana Pacers turn from defense to offense.

After Xu Nuo dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, like McGrady, he handed the ball to his teammate, and then ambush himself outside the three-point line.Josh McRoberts holds the ball on one side of the free throw line, Duntai Jones receives the ball from McRoberts as he runs past McRoberts, and Duntai Jones starts to drive to the Detroit Pistons basket , but his layup was fouled by Pistons center Jason McShale.

While Xu Nuo was waiting for a free throw, Xu Nuo heard Tracy McGrady next to him say to himself: "I heard that you also have a good pull-up jumper?"

"It is indeed like this." Xu Nuo said to McGrady, thinking that the good show is finally about to begin.

"Do you dare to compete with me?" Tracy McGrady said with a smile.

Promise glanced at McGrady.

"Why?" McGrady said, "I don't dare to compare, I'm still worried that I will lose."

"I won't necessarily lose." Xu Nuo said.

"Very good!" said Tracy McGrady, nodding, and walked away.

Xu Nuo looked at Tracy McGrady's back and rubbed his hands.

"If you were at your peak, I would definitely not be able to beat you, but the point is that you are already on the decline." Xu Nuo said to himself.

At this time, Dengtai Jones made one of two free throws, and the Indiana Pacers led the Detroit Pistons by two points 35:33.At this time, Detroit Pistons head coach Lawrence Frank made another substitution, and the team's old center Ben Wallace replaced Jason McHill.

"It's our 'Big Ben'!" The on-site commentator shouted loudly, "Our 'Big Ben' has once again boarded the NBA game! You must know that he is still wearing the Detroit Pistons jersey! Now let Let's welcome the debut of our old hero Ben Wallace with applause!"

Encouraged by the on-site commentator and Detroit Pistons mascot Huber, the fans at the scene burst into applause to welcome veteran Ben Wallace's debut.

However, now Xu Nuo has no intention to think about what kind of changes Ben Wallace's appearance will bring to the game and whether he should change his offense because of this, because now Xu Nuo's thoughts are completely on himself and Mike. Grady's pull-up jumper showdown is over.

In fact, the current promise should be more aggressive, just like coach Larry Brown told him.Because among the Indiana Pacers players on the field now, the only ones who are really capable of providing stable firepower for the team, except for the promise, are Taylor Hansbrough and Josh McRoberts.If it is promised that they will not be able to open on the outside, then the pressure on the inside will become very high, so that it will be difficult for Hansbrough and Mike Roberts to score inside.So Xu Nuo made up his mind to attack hard.

"Rookie, are you ready?" Tracy McGrady dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, slowly dribbling the ball in front of Xu Xu, and said to Xu Nuo with a smile.

Xu Nuo also wanted to smile, but Xu Nuo soon found that he couldn't laugh at all.

Could it be that I was too nervous, so I couldn't laugh?
But you shouldn't be nervous.

So Xu Nuo stared at his opponent fiercely, "Let's go!" Xu Nuo said loudly.

Tracy McGrady smiled slightly and started dribbling the ball with a slight shake of her shoulders.Xu Nuo knew that Tracy McGrady was deluding himself, using the fake action of his shoulders to cheat the breakthrough space, so Xu Nuo's feet were firmly planted on the floor without the slightest movement of his body.

"Very good." Xu Nuo heard Tracy McGrady say with a smile.

At this moment, McGrady suddenly started, protected the ball with his right hand, and broke through the promised defense to the left.If it was in the past, when Tracy McGrady was still at his peak, McGrady could have used the speed of his first breakthrough in the league to pass the promise.However, the point is that McGrady is already going downhill now, and the "honorary title" of McGrady's breakthrough speed crown has probably been handed over to "The Flash" Wade (perhaps it should be added Promises, because promises are also fast on the first step).Xu Nuo used his speed to keep up with McGrady's footsteps without letting himself lose his defensive position.

But McGrady smiled slightly, suddenly stopped, stepped back, and pulled the ball. The whole movement was very fast and very coherent.No matter how fast Xu Nuo reacted, when he adjusted his defensive position and footwork, McGrady was already promising to jump up.

"What an elegant movement!" Xu Nuo said loudly in his heart.

McGrady, who was already going downhill, tried his best to jump up, and his right leg habitually kicked forward slightly, so as to block the opponent and allow himself to get more shooting space.When he shoots, his whole body is fully open, and he looks very stretched.Xu Nuo watched the ball draw a very straight arc in the air, and then went straight to the basket.

This is a dry pull jumper, but McGrady is very fast in collecting the ball and dry pull jumping, but no matter how fast it is, it has not escaped the promise.Xu Nuo knew that this was McGrady's pull-up jumper. Compared with McGrady, he was still far behind.

"It's your turn, rookie!" McGrady said to Xu Nuo after hitting a three-pointer.

"No, I lost." Xu Nuo said.

"You said you wouldn't necessarily lose, let me see your pull-up jumper!" McGrady finished and ran to the Detroit Pistons' half.

Xu Nuo clenched his fists.

It was the Indiana Pacers' turn to attack, and Promise dribbled the ball in front of McGrady, and unlike McGrady, Promise was very fast on the dribble.

"Go ahead, rookie," McGrady said with a smile.

Before McGrady's voice landed, he promised to suddenly receive the ball and jump up. Because he promised to dribble the ball very fast before, he moved faster when he received the ball and jumped up. McGrady didn't even look at it. The action of clearing promises.When Promise jumped, he jumped higher than McGrady, who just used his hands to interfere with Promise's shot as best he could.The ball crossed an extremely straight arc that was almost identical to McGrady's shooting arc in the air, and then hit the board and went into the basket!
"It's still better to hit the board." Xu Nuo said to himself after making this three-pointer.

And McGrady showed his childlike smile.

"You win, rookie," McGrady said to Promise.

Xu Nuo looked at McGrady and showed his own smile.
