Chapter 54: Feel the Peak T-MAC
Although he knew that Yuan Shu was the signature player of the Cavaliers and the sworn enemy of the team in this game, Yuan Shu's action still made the vast majority of Magic fans cheer involuntarily, and even many old fans blurted out: "T-MAC!" ”
Yuan Shu's goal shocked Leonard, who has always regarded Maddie as one of his idols, and he has another layer of understanding of Yuan Shu, "It's really hidden, maybe what Yuan Shu showed everyone is just the tip of his iceberg, how much strength he still hasn't played." ”
Owen's heart also fluctuated, "I originally thought that with my potential, I could catch up with Yuan in 2-3 years, but I didn't expect that his strength was far beyond my imagination." ”
Yuan Shu's dry pull-up jumper, which resembled Maddie, also surprised Barkley and Smith in the live broadcast room.
"What do I see?" Smith exclaimed, "That seems to be T-MAC's signature move, the pull-up jumper." ”
This time, Barkley uncharacteristically closed his mouth, instead holding his chin with his hands, as if thinking about something.
"It's okay, it's just a jumper, it's not that scary." Dwight Howard, who is the owner of the course, immediately consoled his players.
"Come on, it's been a long time since I've been so excited, and I'm in good shape at the moment!" Maddie's Spirit seems to be very excited to return to this familiar part of Orlando.
(Back in the 00-01 season)
"Tracy, don't worry, as long as you agree to come over, not only will Grant Hill assist you, but the big man from the Spurs will also come." After a few meetings with Maddie, Charlie Hart, then general manager of Orlando's athletic division, assured Maddie that he would assemble a Big Three of Maddie + Hill + Duncan.
"You're assuring me, aren't you?" Maddie lifted her sleepy eyes, but there was a sparkle in them.
"Of course." Hart immediately nodded in reassurance.
Maddie happily signed her name on the contract.
......
Not long after, Duncan announced the renewal of his contract with the Spurs, while Hill announced the reimbursement of the season after playing 4 games, and the original imaginary Big Three, only Maddy was left alone to shoulder the responsibility of reviving Orlando.
averaged 32.1 points and 28.0 points per game, won two consecutive scoring titles, and scored 62 points in a single game, making Maddie a top superstar in the league, but the Magic team has never been able to get out of the cycle of a round of playoff tours, and even in the good situation of leading the Detroit Pistons 3-1, the Pistons were moved 3 games in a row, becoming a joke after dinner.
And Maddy, who is the absolute signature of the Magic team, naturally bears most of the blame, no one thought that Maddie was originally standing next to Hill and Duncan, but now only Drew Gooden and Juwan Howard are standing, and even the team disregarded Maddy's feelings and traded Maddy's best friend Mike Miller to the distant Memphis Grizzlies. No one knew that for the sake of the team's results, Maddie, who had already been injured and needed to rest, kept carrying the whole team on his back.
......
(Time to get back into the game)
Howard scored 2 points under the basket to tie the score, but looking back, the players on both sides had just fallen into position, and Yuan Shu received a pass from Irving at the 45° angle on the left side, pulled it up directly, ignored Anderson's defense, and hit a clean three-pointer.
"When I come here, I have only one goal, which is to win!" The voice of Maddie's Spirit echoed in Yuan Shu's mind, and it also stimulated the passion in Yuan Shu's body!
Successfully defended Anderson's anser-ball three-pointer, Leonard grabbed the rebound, Yuan Shu led the offense again, facing the basket at 90 degrees in the front, Yuan Shu leaned down, put the ball behind him with one hand and raised it high, although Anderson could see the ball, but across Yuan Shu's body in the middle, he could not make an effective steal.
Yuan Shu, who seemed to be still still in the first second, had taken the first step quickly in the next second, which seemed to be unremarkable, but he instantly threw off most of Anderson's position, and used the next step to completely pass Anderson!
Yuan Shu held the ball and dribbled into the penalty area with one hand, and standing in front of him was Howard, the Dinghai Shenpin of the Magic inside.
Yuan Shu slapped the ball violently, then held the ball tightly with both hands, and then suddenly jumped up in the small penalty area, holding the ball with his right arm, pressing Howard's shoulder with his left arm, and dunking the ball into the basket through Howard's head! At the moment of the goal, Yuan Shu even had half of his body, as if he was riding on Howard's body!
"Oh my God!" This time Barkley's reaction was completely different from the previous silence, and the sudden exclamation startled Smith!
"See? Another classic buckle! Barkley said to Smith as if he couldn't control himself, "This dunk is so beautiful, it reminds me of Kobe Bryant's dunk Howard's move, no, it should be more beautiful than this move." ”
"For example, the time when Maddie rode the 'big bamboo pole' Bradley?" Smith continued.
"That's right, man, that's it!" Barkley immediately picked up the conversation and said, "Kenny, you're really a roundworm in my stomach. ”
"Forget it, I'm not a fan of fried food."
Howard, who was ridden and buckled by Yuan Shu, held his aching arm that was pressed, as if he had returned to the time when he was riding and buckled by Kobe Bryant in his rookie season.
"Damn, since that time, I have said to myself that no one will ever be allowed to do this to me again!" Howard thought angrily.
Although Howard then squeezed Vallejo away under the basket and saved some face with a two-handed dunk, the entire court, no, the atmosphere of the entire arena has been completely mastered by Yuan Shu!
Although Yuan Shu scored wonderful goals one by one, more and more Magic fans began to applaud him, and more and more people saw the shadow of T-MAC in this outstanding young man, and remembered the time when Maddie was there, every night when they were looking forward to it, every time they scored like chopping melons and vegetables!
Some old fans even had moist eyes, "I think of running in the sunset, that is my lost youth!" ”
The first quarter of the game is not over yet, Yuan Shu has already shot 8 of 9, including 2 of 3 3-pointers, and scored 18 points!
Magic coach Stan Van Gundy couldn't sit still, and he finally led the team to play a wave of good results before the start of the season, temporarily stabilizing his position, and must not be beaten into a hornet's nest by the Cavaliers, the first in the East, in this game.
"Ryan, Jason, you two go defend Yuan!"
Van Gundy, who couldn't bear it, yelled at the players on the sidelines, apparently intending to let Anderson and Richardson wrap up and defend Yuan Shu's offense.
In the last attack of the first quarter, Yuan Shu held the ball on the right side, and there were two players in front of him, Anderson and Richardson.
The corners of Yuan Shu's mouth smiled slightly, revealing someone's signature smile, and said in his mouth, "Two people, is it enough?" ”
It's too late, it's fast, Yuan Shu broke through to Anderson's left hand in an instant, bypassed the right side where Richardson was standing, and used Anderson as his blocking companion who flashed Richardson's defense, this time even Howard couldn't help but pounce from the front to defend, and at this moment, Richardson also bypassed Anderson and pounced from behind, Yuan Shu jumped high in the air with one enemy three, holding the ball in both hands to meet Howard's block, making a shooting action, and the picture seemed to be frozen in the air.
