Chapter 55: Full fire, 42 points at halftime
"I seem to see two wings stretched out of Yuan Shu's back!" Looking at Yuan Shu, who was stranded in the air, facing the three-person defense and still flowing shooting, Barkley seemed to be intoxicated, and as if the picture in front of him was a little familiar, "I seem to have seen this picture somewhere." ”
"Are you talking about the T-MAC that even God touches?" Smith said.
"How else you are a roundworm in my stomach, Kenny, you know what is going on in my head." Barkley affirmed Smith's answer.
Yes, Yuan Shu, who is playing on the court at this moment, gives many fans the feeling that Maddie is back!
Yuan Shu shot at Howard's block, and the basketball just flew past Howard's fingertips to the basket, and at the same time heard a "pop", Howard's hand hit Yuan Shu's arm to shoot, making a crisp sound.
At the moment when the basketball brushed the net, the referee blew the whistle for a foul and the sound of the end of the first quarter of the game also sounded at the same time, Yuan Shu was under the three-person defense of the Magic team, and before the end of the first quarter, he actually completed a difficult 2+1!
Irving took the lead in running over, and Yuan Shu had a passionate chest bump, Leonard, who has always been not very good at showing emotions, also came to high-five Yuan Shu to celebrate, because the first quarter of the game was over, the players of the Magic team did not wait for Yuan Shu to make free throws, and walked to their rest area.
After celebrating with his teammates, Yuan Shu steadily hit the ball, and the score in the first quarter was fixed at 38-24, and Yuan Shu scored 21 points alone!
"Hey, Charles, I think there's going to be something big going on tonight." Smith looked at the first-quarter stats played in the live broadcast room and involuntarily said to Barkley.
Rarely, Barkley casually chimed in: "You're right, Kenny, I think all of you here today are going to witness a magical game." ”
"Yuan, the first quarter performance was fantastic! When do you practice your pull-up jumper? As soon as Yuan Shu sat down to rest, his teammates surrounded him.
Yuan Shu showed his usual mystery, and said in a meaningful tone: "There are still many things you don't know. "I managed to avoid the questions of my teammates.
"Coach, I want to play in the second quarter." When he said this, Yuan Shu had no time to stop Maddie in his body.
"Is your stamina okay?" Cavaliers coach Byron Scott asked in a consultative tone, after all, the current Yuan Shu is not the rookie he first knew.
"No problem." After answering in Yuan Shu's body, Maddie whispered in a voice that only he could hear, "It's been a long time since I've played with a healthy body!" ”
In the rest area of the Magic team on the other side, Van Gundy was roaring: "What, we really can't prevent a Yuan?" He's not Kobe, he's not Duncan, and if it's really a double bag that doesn't work, then use a three-person bag! Do you understand? ”
In the face of the coach's roar, everyone on the Magic team was silent.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Yuan Shu held the ball with his back to Anderson, and then turned around with his left foot as the central pivot foot, while lowering the center of gravity of his body, holding the ball near his head, and making continuous tentative feints with his right foot.
Just when Anderson thought that Yuan Shu was about to break through, Yuan Shu's right foot suddenly moved to the right, and then pulled it up directly on the spot, without giving Anderson any chance to react, and once again used a dry pull shot to throw the ball, and the ball was like a guided missile, accurately found its destination and fell into the basket.
The next time the Cavaliers attacked, Owen still passed the ball to the hot Yuan Shu. Although they don't want to see too many balls appear in the hands of players who are playing hot on the opposite side, the fans at the home of the Magic team seem to want to see more pictures of Yuan Shu attacking with the ball.
This time Yuan Shu did not stay with the ball, but turned around at the first time with the ball, and wiped Anderson's defense at once, facing Howard who came over to make up the defense, Yuan Shu made a large pull rod in the air, and the ball flew from the side of Howard to the other side, and a backhand hit board added 2 points!
"Damn, Jason, where are you dying, why don't you help defend this ball?" On the sidelines, Van Gundy shouted at Richardson.
Yuan Shu's third attack in the second quarter, after making a feint to the right and shaking, Yuan Shu immediately changed the direction of the ball and dribbled to his left hand, and once again hung Anderson behind him. After being angrily scolded by the coach on the last goal, Richardson didn't dare to be careless, and immediately ran to Yuan Shu to stop the opponent, but what he didn't expect was that he was just halfway through, and Yuan Shu was very clever to pass the ball to Anthony Parker, who had run out of the empty space at the moment, and was in the bottom corner.
Parker, who has shot 43% three-point shooting this season, will naturally not let go of such an opportunity, in fact, Parker can start the game, which is the role.
Halfway through the run, Richardson had no time to defend, and could only watch Parker calmly throw the ball, and then watch the ball obediently slide out of the basket.
After the goal, Parker immediately pointed to Yuan Shu and signaled that the pass was beautiful.
"I don't just score." Maddie explained to Yuan Shu, who was in the same body. In fact, Maddy also averaged 4.4 assists per game in his career, which is a very high number among forwards, and in three of the four seasons with the Magic, Maddy averaged more than 5.3 assists per game. And Maddy's big-picture view also allows him to flexibly switch between autonomous offense and assisting teammates.
Although it was just a simple three-point shot in the bottom corner, Richardson didn't dare to easily give up his defensive object, and devoted himself to defending Yuan Shu.
In the second quarter of the game, Yuan Shu once again made 8 of 10 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 21 points, and a total of 42 points in the first half!
"What do you want to say?" At halftime, unable to stand Barkley's uncharacteristically quiet, Smith was the first to break the silence.
"I feel like I've been watching Maddie play." Barkley said, "I mean, this game was played in Orlando, and Yuan's performance reminded me of the former Magic flag - Tracy, of course, Yuan is not Tracy. ”
Barkley doesn't know what he's talking about anymore, it's not Barkley's fault, after all, he feels right, Yuan Shu who is now on the court is actually a hybrid of himself and Maddie.
Thanks to Yuan Shu's (Maddy) super play, the Cavaliers were far ahead of the Magic 66-46 in the first half, disappointing people who were originally going to watch a close game, but Yuan's scoring frenzy still piqued the interest of these people.
"In the second half, no matter what, we have to stop Yuan, even if we don't win. This kid has already scored 42 points in the first half, are you going to make him score 80 points? Van Gundy had completely lost his gentlemanly demeanor and shouted in the locker room, "In the second half, everyone has to stop him, understand?" ”
"Understood!" The magicians will answer collectively.
At this time, Maddie in Yuan Shu's body suddenly said: "It's going to rain on the court..."
