I am super giant

Chapter 164 Backward
Cavaliers: Ilgauskas, Boozer, Darius, James, Ye Feng.

Magic: Drew Gooden, Huo Ershuo, Gordon Giliesek, Tracy McGrady, Rod Strickland.

Both sides have sent the strongest lineup.

After all, there are only 5 minutes in overtime, and the time is short.Once the gap is widened, it is basically a loss, so the head coaches of both sides directly sacrificed the strongest lineup.

However, before playing, Ye Feng found that James' condition was not very good.

In the regular 48 minutes, James played 45 minutes. On the defensive end, he mainly defended McGrady. On the offensive end, he had a lot of possession of the ball.

Although he is a physical monster, James' physical fitness in his rookie period has not yet reached its peak.

On the other hand, Tracy McGrady is in good condition.

Although he also undertakes a large number of offensive tasks for the Magic, McGrady has more physical fitness at this time because of the defensive end.

At the start of the game, Ilgauskas won the jump ball and the Cavaliers got the right to the first down.

James pushed Tracy McGrady into the paint like a bulldozer, then rolled over and threw.

boom!
Unfortunately, the goal was missed.

Offensive and defensive transition, Magic offense, McGrady still holds the ball.

After reaching the inside, McGrady made a wonderful pass and passed the ball to Uncle Huo who was outside the three-second zone.

The second uncle raised the knife and dropped it, and threw it into a mid-range shot steadily.

Swish!
110: 108.

Magic came out on top.

The Cavaliers attack again.

James still chooses to use his body to force McGrady.

It can be seen that due to the exhaustion of physical strength, it is already very difficult for James to beat McGrady with skill and speed at the moment, but it is easier to rely on tonnage.

Ye Feng observed the duel between James and McGrady, and began to worry in his heart.

This overtime game has just started, and James' physical fitness has problems. How can he play after that?
At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed in Ye Feng's vision.

Ye Feng was taken aback for a moment, then his expression changed drastically. Rod Strickland, who he was man-marking one-on-one, disappeared.

"not good!"

Ye Feng hurriedly looked for Strickland's figure, but found that this guy sneaked up to James' side at some point.

"careful!"

Ye Feng reminded James loudly, but it was still too late.

Strickland has quick eyes and quick hands, and suddenly reached out and attacked the basketball in James' hands.

At this moment, James was not so focused because of physical exertion, and he didn't notice the cunning Strickland at all.

Snapped!
With a clever poke from Strickland, the ball is out of James' control.

Ye Feng tried his best to snatch it, but he was still caught by Jiri Sek who was closer.

The Magic immediately launched a fast break.

Ye Feng and James tried their best to stop it, but they couldn't stop it at all.

There are really many people in this Magic team who can stop fast breaks. McGrady, Girisek, and Strickland all have a strong ability to launch fast breaks.

Girisek was blocked in the dribble and passed the ball directly to Strickland's chest.

Strickland didn't catch the ball at all, but stretched out his hand to change his strength and speed when the ball was close to his chest, and the basketball passed between Ye Feng and James and landed in McGrady's hands.

McGrady caught the basketball and scored an easy dunk.

Bang!
112: 108.

Ye Feng looked at Strickland and gritted his teeth.

This old guy was beaten up by himself for the whole game, so he thought it was nothing special.

Who knows, if he didn't pay attention at the critical moment, the old guy would steal a key ball.

The exquisite steals and accurate passes in the fast break are not something a rookie can easily make. They are all the experience accumulated in more than ten years of professional career.

At this time, Ye Feng suddenly remembered a sentence he read in basketball magazines in his previous life: "Don't underestimate any veteran. Veterans don't die, they just fade away!"

These guys all look old and dead.But in fact, they are just hibernating, accumulating energy for critical moments.If you dare to underestimate them, they will cost you dearly.

Ye Feng learned a lesson today and warned himself that he must never make the same mistake again.

Of course, that's for later.

Now, the most critical thing is the Christmas game, and the Cavaliers have fallen into a bad situation.

A difference of 4 points is not a big deal in normal times, but it is dangerous in an overtime game of only 5 minutes.

If the Cavaliers can't change the situation on the court, there is basically no chance in this game.

In the next round, James suddenly broke out and went into the center of the Magic, drawing cheers from the Cavaliers fans.

But in the sudden contraction of the Magic's defense, James forced a shot and bounced out of the frame again.

This is already two consecutive missed shots, and neither of these two shots is a particularly difficult shot, and it is definitely not James' usual level.

In turn, McGrady broke through and scored to help Uncle Huo hit another mid-range shot, 114:108.

Time, nearly 1 minute has passed, the Magic directly beat the Cavaliers 6-0, and the Cavaliers have stepped into the door of failure.

"The critical moment is the opportunity for the team's core performance. But obviously, McGrady's performance is far better than James. McGrady has already scored 2 points and 2 assists, but James missed 2 shots and made 1 turnover. Judgment is judged what!"

"It's a little unfair to say that. James' offense and defense in regular time consume a lot of energy. Besides, he is not yet 19 years old, his body is not fully developed, and his physical fitness is not at his peak. In addition, it is a rookie season and lacks experience. , The lack of physical strength in the end is understandable. On the other hand, McGrady is one of the strongest scorers in the league and is also at his peak age. And I didn’t deliberately black him. McGrady’s attitude on the defensive end is really unsatisfactory, not at all Seriously. Maybe it's this slack that allows him to maintain better physical strength."

There was a dispute between the two on-site commentators, one supporting McGrady and the other supporting James.

"No matter what the reason is, the winner is king. As long as McGrady wins the game, no one cares how he won or what defensive attitude he has. Everyone will only praise his offensive ability and praise him for dragging the game into overtime game, and then in overtime it's going to be all right."

"As for James, if you lose, you lose, and the loser has no say!"

Support McGrady's commentary said.

"."

The commentary supporting James was speechless.

Yes, the winner is king.

This is the truth of nature and the manifestation of human history.Even on the basketball court, it is the only reason.

Losing can only mean that you are weak and there is no excuse.

Back on the basketball court, James seemed to have noticed his state, and gave Ye Feng a look, and Ye Feng immediately understood.

The two now have a tacit understanding, and they can understand each other's meaning with just one look.

James asked Ye Feng to organize first, and he had to take it easy.
