Chapter 660: McGee's Talent (Third Update!) )
But in this case, McGee's new appearance may be coming.
It is said that people who love to laugh are not too lucky, McGee has a cheerful personality, and this luck is really looking for him to bump into.
Before the game that night, Williams also added McGee to the activation list.
McGee looked a little excited, and after the last fight, he thought he would never get another chance.
I didn't expect God to favor him so much, and the opportunity would come again so soon.
The Rockets are currently fourth in the West, but the Clippers are just one win away from them, and every game they play is crucial.
And Harden really wants to win this game.
His current team record, MVP ranking, and external evaluation are all like Tang Tian, and he needs such a victory to prove himself.
The showdown was full of attendance at the New Orleans Arena.
To say that this period of the Pelicans' schedule is still very good, and the continuous home games have saved them from the fatigue of traveling away.
TNT's Big Three also commented on the game, and they had already started their daily jokes before the game began.
It is worth noting that after Tang Tian mentioned it last time, there were no signs such as "my.boy" on the scene.
Tang Tian's words still work very well.
There have been some slight changes between Team Rocket and the last time they met.
The team's starting center, Asik, suffered a wave of injuries during the period, and Capela, a rookie who started in his place, performed eye-catchingly, averaging 9 points and 7 rebounds per game.
He and Bosh's one-offense and one-defense combination were quite compatible, which also made Asik lose his starting position after his return.
Asik's contract expires at the end of the season, and he has a lot of butter hands and a lot of regression defensively.
The Rockets' hand, like the Warriors' cultivation of Green, is a hero who prepares for the future regardless of where he comes from.
The rest of the Rockets are the same as last season, with Beverley and Harden on the outside and Parsons and Bosh on the front.
The Pelicans, on their side, are also the regular starting five.
Amid the cheers of the fans, Whiteside jumped to beat Capela to kick off the match.
Whiteside continued to show excellent competitive form, and played with Tang Tian in the opening game, and after receiving the ball, he carried Capela and smashed the ball into the basket.
Capela proved himself in the opportunity, but after all, he was immature and, like Nurkic in the last game, struggled with Whiteside.
However, Harden was in very good shape, and he scored 16 points and 3 assists in consecutive free throws in the first quarter to help the Rockets tie the Pelicans at 26 in the first quarter.
His proof is not only in his heart, but also in his own actions.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Williams turned and called McGee up.
In the last two minutes of the first quarter, he used Davis as the No. 5 spot, but it didn't work very well.
McGee saw Williams' gesture as if he saw a sexy girl waving to him, and he jumped up with a rub.
This time it's a much better chance than last time, and it's regular rotation time!
The move startled Williams.
He remembered McGee's mystery in the last game, and beckoned McGee to come over and give him a few words.
McGee nodded vigorously, his expression frantic to indicate that he was fine.
Williams patted McGee's hand one last time and motioned for him to come on.
Coming back in the second quarter, both sides were one main player with four substitutes.
On the Pelicans' side, Ariza leads the team, plus Dinwiddie, Gordon, Aminu and McGee.
On the Rockets' side, Bosh led the team, plus Terry, Brewer, Josh Smith and Asik.
Back in the second quarter, the Rockets attacked first.
Williams was standing on the sidelines at this point, and his eyes were always on McGee.
Despite all the advice, he was still not at ease with McGee.
Bosh responded with the ball in the high post, with Terry and Smith cutting in on both sides.
Bosh passes the ball to Smith, who takes the ball and drives to the basket.
McGee's defensive positioning was problematic on the ball, and he landed on the off-ball side as a center, leaving Asik completely stuck and the Pelicans' interior door wide open.
Smith's rush to the basket was a two-handed dunk.
This ball shows the style of the former Eagle King.
The Rockets' bench was boiling.
"It's a new material."
O'Neill said solemnly in the commentary seat.
His words caused Barkley to burst into laughter, and the new material naturally refers to the five embarrassments.
Smith shook his head helplessly.
McGee: This is really quite taking care of O'Neill's "business".
Williams reached for his forehead on the sidelines.
McGee's defensive position, if it weren't for the fact that no one was using, he really didn't want to play McGee.
Borrego yelled at McGee a few times to remind him of his defensive position.
The Pelicans' offense, with Dinwiddie on the perimeter, passes to Gordon, whose three-pointer deflects off the basket.
Asik reaches for a defensive rebound.
But at this moment, McGee jumped up with his long arm and fished out, picked a melon directly behind Asik, and won the offensive rebound!
McGee is 2.10 meters tall, but his arm span reaches 2.29 meters, although it is not as good as Biyombo and Whiteside, but it is also the absolute top one.
And the key thing is that he has a run-up jump of 82.6 centimeters, which is the absolute top stat in a big man.
With a long arm span and a jump, it's not for nothing that he's called the No. 1 center with a lower body.
"Stop him!"
Rockets assistant coach Bickerstaff shouted from the sidelines.
Asik struggled to hold McGee at bay.
However, McGee didn't mean to attack, he directly stuffed the ball to Dinwiddie who cut in, and Dinwiddie received the ball and flew to the basket to score directly!
A great story!
The Pelicans tie the score!
Williams watched stunned from the sidelines.
Poor defensive positioning, but able to deliver such a wonderful pass.
He really didn't understand McGee.
Tang Tian doesn't know too much, but at least this ball can see that his previous judgment is correct, and McGee's ball quotient is indeed not low.
Back on the defensive end, this time McGee's position was in the box, and Borrego's reminder was still useful.
The Rockets repeated the same trick, this time cutting into Brewer, he caught the ball and flew to the basket.
Asik struggled to jam McGee, but McGee's arm was really long, and through Asik's body, he was stunned to slap the ball shot by Brewer!
A man-free cap!
The fans at the scene were dumbfounded.
This talent is no worse than Whiteside!
The covered ball was picked up by Asik, who made a quick shot, but his butter hand attribute triggered and the ball slid out of the basket.
McGee landed and got the rebound.
Williams nodded from the sidelines.
Compared to the previous goal, the blocking and rebounding protection of this ball is still very good.
McGee gave the ball to Dinwiddie, who dribbled to the frontcourt, blocked with Aminu and broke to the basket.
The Rockets shrank inside, and Dinwiddie showed a tall point guard vision and returned the ball to McGee in the middle.
McGee picked up the ball and took two big strides towards the basket.
Asik on the inside pounces to defend.
But it's already noticeably slow.
McGee jumped one step away from the box and pressed the ball into the basket past Asik.
The two have a physical confrontation.
"Bang!"
McGee smashed the ball into the basket across Asik.
