Chapter 661: He Proves Himself to Be an NBA Player (Thanks to Zhong Kui's Alliance Leader for the reward!) )

Asik tried to make McGee's offensive foul, but he didn't jump, and he slid backwards after the confrontation.

The referee blows the whistle, but signals Asik's defensive foul!

Asik is defending and standing in the reasonable collision zone!

It's a 2+1!

When he saw the referee's gesture, McGee looked excited.

It's just that instead of celebrating, he turned around and looked straight in the direction of the commentary seat.

He couldn't hear what O'Neill was saying in the commentary booth, but he was going to call O'Neill!

There was also a burst of cheers at the scene, and many fans stood up from their seats excitedly, waving their fists and shouting.

This ball, absolutely lifted!

McGee's talent.

While there will be moments of short circuits on the court, his physical gifts are enough to sustain him as a rotation-caliber player.

But only if he can solve the defensive problems and need a coach who can trust him.

McGee hit a free throw, and the Pelicans took the lead again.

Bosh turned low and hit a lean-back shot to continue scoring, and the Rockets came for revenge tonight.

However, Gordon scored a breakaway layup and immediately returned to color.

Both teams missed two times each and played more than three minutes in the second quarter to give the Pelicans a 31-28 lead.

Williams turned around and called Whiteside and Morrow up to make their substitutions.

On the Rockets' side, Motai Yunas is also ready to replace Bosh.

There were no dead balls on the field yet, they were sitting on the technical table waiting.

The Rockets' offense, Bosh continued to single Aminu in the low post, and this time he didn't lean back, but turned around and went to the basket for a layup.

Aminu was completely squeezed by his lanky figure.

It was a great chance to score.

But just then, McGee squeezed through the Asik Flying Block.

The timing of this block was a bit late, and Bosh had already shot the ball.

But luckily, McGee was fast enough to slap Bosh to the rebound.

A pegboard hat!

The baseline referee's eyes are always on the ball, and McGee is a big disruptor.

However, this is a good block before the ball falls.

The ball bounced back and was taken by Aminu, and the Pelicans went straight to the defensive counterattack.

Dinwiddie carries the ball against Terry to the frontcourt.

Although Terry is not strong defensively, he has excellent experience and did not give Dinwiddie an easy layup.

At this moment, Dinwiddie saw a figure in the middle of the lane quickly following.

He looked back and was taken aback.

It turned out to be McGee!

After this guy blocked, he turned out to be the first to fast attack the frontcourt!

Asik's ball in front of him gave Dinwiddie a new appreciation for McGee's ability, and he threw the ball directly at Terry and into the basket.

The ball leads, McGee jumps up from inside the free throw line, grabs the ball with his right hand and presses it into the basket.

"Bang!"

With a powerful one-handed slam dunk, McGee slammed the ball into the basket.

The scene was boiling instantly.

From the backcourt block to the frontcourt to complete the empty catch, this is a proper top five goals of the day!

McGee made a one-handed "strong" gesture in the direction of the commentary bench after scoring the goal.

When Barkley saw McGee's move, he turned to look at O'Neill and laughed.

This is a naked provocation.

O'Neal spreads his hands, the materials are in hand, and it doesn't matter to him whether McGee plays well or not.

More than a minute was played on the field, and the game went into a dead ball.

McGee was substituted, and he played more than four minutes in the quarter and contributed 5 points, 2 rebounds and 2 blocks, playing quite efficiently.

And he also helped the Pelicans build a five-point lead, which is more important than how many points he scores.

The Pelicans' main team returned, and Tang Tian and Davis put on a strong performance to help the team take a double-digit lead at halftime, 56-43.

Harden scored 21 points and 5 assists in the half, and his performance was eye-catching enough, but the help from his teammates was still not enough.

In the crucial third quarter, Harden and Bosh scored back-to-back baskets at the beginning to help the Rockets narrow the gap to single digits.

However, at the critical moment, Tang Tian once again showed his MVP performance, and continued to score strong shots to help the team stabilize the situation.

Davis also has a dazzling performance of blocking and dunking 2+1.

With more than 9 minutes to go into the quarter, the Pelicans stretched the deficit to 15 points 76-61.

With this point difference, Williams entered the rotation with peace of mind.

McGee also came on to replace Whiteside at this time.

He continued his excellent form in the second quarter, and when he came up, he gave Capela a big frontal hat, which was quite a boost.

In the final moments of the quarter, Dinwiddie was caught and he couldn't make a move, throwing the ball to McGee at the top of the arc.

McGee makes a three-pointer at the buzzer.

This is a move that is basically uncertain.

But after the ball was played on the board, it went in!

McGee scored a whistle-beating three-pointer!

The fans cheered on and out, and instead of liking "my.boy" this time, they really liked McGee!

There was a burst of excited shouts from the Pelicans' bench.

Tang Tian also stood up and applauded McGee.

McGee didn't take his chances in the last game, but he took it this one.

McGee's whistle-blowing balloon helped the Pelicans stretch the margin to 18 points, which was the straw that broke the camel's back.

The Rockets had a sluggish final quarter, and the Pelicans eventually beat the Rockets 115-100 to snap a four-game winning streak.

Harden faced the Pelicans again, scoring 38 points and 8 assists, Bosh had an average performance, only 15 points and 7 boards, and Capela had 6 points and 12 boards.

On the Pelicans' side, Tang Tian scored a team-high 27 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, Davis had 18 points and 10 boards, and Whiteside had 9 points and 11 boards.

Dinwiddie off the bench had 12 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists, Gordon had 10 points and 3 assists, and McGee had 10 points, 5 rebounds and 3 blocks.

After the match, Tang Tian and McGee attended the post-match press conference together.

"How would you rate McGee's performance?"

A reporter asked Tang Tian about this.

Tang Tian's attitude after the last game has already expressed his support for McGee, and this time McGee played well, they can also rest assured to ask questions.

"He took his chance and proved that he was an NBA-caliber player."

Tang Tian gave a very pertinent answer.

He didn't boast because McGee was right next to him, and he didn't want McGee to be overconfident about a good game.

Guarding against arrogance is very important in the NBA.

McGee nodded, which was just the right amount of encouragement for him.

"I heard that during the game, Shaq said that he had found new material, and it was McGee's defensive positioning in the second quarter, do you think that's where McGee needs to improve?"

Another reporter asked.

Tang Tian's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this.

The fact that O'Neill is Tang Fu is now known to everyone, but this approach makes him obviously a little unhappy.

"Yes, McGee needs to improve his defensive positioning."

He first affirmed the reporter's question, and McGee was on the side, and his words could be regarded as a reminder.

"But I don't think Shaq's approach is appropriate, everybody makes mistakes in the game, and it's not right to just stare at one person."

He then said with a serious expression.
