Chapter 686
McGrady said as he stood on the board, waving his arms and yelling, "Lamar this guy said he couldn't accept anything but victory. Guys, let's use our strength to tell that arrogant boy that we're the same, and we're not going to take anything but victory! To hell with those damn New York gangsters tonight! Let's burn down their cottages tonight and kill the Knicks!"
was yelled at by Maddy, and the morale of the Magic players was also mobilized. Everyone stood up, waving their arms like McGrady and yelling.
The roar coming from the locker room startled the court staff outside the door, and the Magic team was unprecedented.
When the time came to play, the Magic players played under the mocking introduction of the DJ on the spot, and the fans also chose to remain silent tacitly, of course, some fans still booed very uncooperatively.
When it came to the Knicks, it was completely different, and the roof of the Madison Garden arena was trembling with the loud and excited introduction of the DJ on the spot.
"Let's welcome New York's hero, the mighty court ruler, and the league's ruler, Lamar Odom, and his brothers Chauncy Billups, Samuel Dampoter, Alan Houston, Shaun Sean Kanpur, Antonio Davis, Gilbert Arenas, Hilario, John Salmons, Zhizhi Wang, Mark Jackson, and Louis Scola. ”
"Fight!
Lamar shouted, and the other four Knicks behind him immediately raised their arms and shouted.
"Fight!
"Fight!
The New York fans at the scene immediately became excited, and responded loudly with Lamar's shouts.
"Fight!
"Fight!
"Fight!
"Fight!
"It's really uncomfortable to see like this!" said McGrady, pouting with some jealousy, he'd never enjoyed Lamar's treatment.
Grant Hill still looked pampered, and said with a smile: "Isn't that interesting?"
McGrady slapped Hill twice on the chest with some helplessness: "Please, Grant!
"What if we really did our best?" Hill asked with a smile.
McGrady smiled, and the gleam in his eyes flashed: "Then they will be the unlucky!"
"I hope so!" Hill said, moving his hands and feet, and seeing that the referee was already beckoning the players from both sides to come on, he was the first to step onto the court.
Behind him, McGrady couldn't help but smile: "You guy, maybe you're the one who craves the game the most right now!"
Lamar on the other side of the court was also looking at the two guns of the Magic team, a smile flashed on the corner of his mouth, and he muttered to himself: "The game is not just based on words, it still depends on strength when it comes to the court!"
Center: Samuel Dampotter
Power forward: Lamar Odom
Small forward: Shaun Shaun Kanpur
Shooting guard: Alan Houston
Point guard: Chauncey Billups
Orlando Magic starting lineup:
Center: Pat Garriti
Power forward: Sean Kemp
Small forward: Grant Hill
Shooting guard: Tracy McGrady
Point guard: Darrell Armstrong
Judging from the starting lineup alone, the Knicks seem to be on par with the Magic, and it seems that the Magic really have the strength to pull the Knicks down, but again, the Magic may be able to think of themselves as the Warriors, but the Knicks are definitely not the Los Angeles Lakers.
Dampotter and opposing center Patgarriti stepped to the halfway line to start scrambling for the ball.
Seeing Dampot, then looking at Hilario sitting on the sidelines, and then thinking about Pat Garriti and Sean Kemp on his team's side, John Davis on the sidelines couldn't help but feel a pain in the flesh.
John Davis really has all kinds of envy and jealousy for the Knicks, and he has the potential to become an All-Star by trading two interior players at will, and he has spent a lot of money to get either cripples or addicts! Why is God so unfair.
The referee saw that the players on both sides were ready, signaled, and threw the ball in his hand into the sky.
The competition has officially begun.
Dampoter's reaction was noticeably quicker, and he jumped up immediately. When the basketball rose to its highest level and began to fall, Patgarrite jumped in hindsight, and the way he twisted and twisted almost disgusted Dampotter to death.
"Smack!"
The basketball was slapped lightly by Dampot and flew towards Lamar's position. After nearly two seasons of running-in, there have been countless scrum tactics like this between Dampote and Lamar. Dampot barely had to look behind him to guess Lamar's location by feeling.
"Damn it!"
McGrady saw that the ball was about to be lost, and he couldn't care about it so much, so he scolded and started the Hot Wheels under his feet and rushed towards Lamar.
With two positions left behind Lamar, Maddie suddenly changed direction and jumped to intercept the ball.
It's just a pity that if the ball passed to Lamar was so easy to grab, then this game would be too simple.
Lamar was not at all alarmed when he saw McGrady leap up. The body resisted McGrady in the air, and then turned slightly, and in this way, Lamar spun half a circle around McGrady, just in front of McGrady and reached out to get the ball.
Then Lamar didn't look forward and made a wide pass.
On the other side, Alan Houston has already hit the bottom line of the Magic team at this time, although his speed is not fast, but the rhythm is extremely good.
Due to the impact of injuries, Grant Hill's state has deteriorated greatly, and he has no resistance in front of Houston, and can only keep retreating when he is suppressed.
Seeing that the ball had been passed, Alan Houston jumped up and grabbed the ball in his hand, followed by two lateral dribbles and then jumped lightly, dunking the ball into the basket with both hands.
'Lamar handled the ball very well, he didn't choose to go for it and passed it to a team-mate who was in a better position. It looks like he's really getting smarter now. Lamar on the commentary seat did not hesitate to say anything about himself, and praised Lamar all the time!
"Grant! Cheer up, where is your courage?" McGrady was very dissatisfied with Grant Hill's defense just now, yelled loudly, took the baseline ball and launched an attack.
Grant Hill, who suffered an unjustified disaster behind Maddie, is really wronged and has nowhere to redress. He also wanted to be tough just now, but unfortunately his current body was really not Alan Houston's opponent.
Besides, Alan Houston didn't blindly do anything just now, and the rhythm control was always very good when he broke through. Hill really couldn't do anything but back off.
McGrady has made a name for himself in the NBA in recent years, both with his bounce and pull-out, and with his first steps.
Of course, as a super attacker, dribbling is also a breeze for Maddie. In the blink of an eye, the ball was brought to the Knicks' half by Maddy.
Sean Shaun Camp, who defended Maddie, didn't dare to be careless, he knew McGrady's housekeeping skills. So Sean Kample didn't dare to push too hard, leaving a position and standing motionless in front of McGrady.
"Idiot, do you think you'll be able to stop me? Stop dreaming, look at your steps, are you a turtle? It's so slow, see clearly I'm going to break through from your left!"
With trash talk in his mouth, McGrady took a different step, and sure enough, he actually broke into Sean Kample's left.
Sean Kample's reaction was not slow, but unfortunately his pace really couldn't keep up with McGrady's pace. After only three steps, he was thrown behind by McGrady.
After the successful breakthrough, McGrady's head suddenly became hot, and only the basket was left in his eyes. Taking a step forward and jumping up, Maddie held the basketball high with one hand and wanted to make a slam dunk.
In fact, at this time, Grant Hill had already run out of the vacancy, and as long as the ball passed, Hill's shooting without defense was still very reliable.
At this time, the Haitians sitting in the Knicks basket have already been pushed outside the reasonable collision zone, and although the offense of Pat Garretti and Sean Camp is not worth looking forward to, it is still very good to do dirty work like this.
McGrady faced the basket directly and was about to dunk. Suddenly, a hand came out of the diagonal side, and a slap was placed on the basketball.
Suddenly the racket flew out, it was Lamar! Lamar who combined the nerve response and the bouncing force to the point that this kind of capping could do it.
Almost as soon as Lamar completed the block, the Knicks' offense began to kick in, and the basketball that was fanned out flew directly into Billups' hands.
"Break now!" shouted, and Billups dribbled forward quickly. Next to him was Alan Houston, followed by Battier and Lamar. If you are more fast-attacking, there is probably no team in the NBA that is the opponent of the Knicks. Clearly, the Knicks have carved it all into their bones.
After several consecutive passes, the ball was smashed into the basket by Battier with one hand, and Sean Battier also breathed a sigh of relief and vented his anger at being humiliated by Maddie just now.
"Tracy, calm down, keep the tempo down, don't always think about attacking. Look at your teammates, pass the ball and don't forget your duty!"
John Davis was very unhappy with the way McGrady handled the ball just now, and stood on the sidelines and reminded his players loudly. !
