Chapter 114: Tracy McGrady

Tim Hardaway was a little shorter and couldn't intercept it, so he had to play a steal game like Larry Johnson, running left and right.

Comparison of personal data.

Usilis, 2.06 meters tall.

Tim Hardaway, 1.83 meters tall.

Comparatively speaking, Usilis has a height advantage.

Ross Barkley is no longer burdened with possession. A few big jumps rushed over and entered the basket penalty area.

Usyris played two hand-to-hand dribbles and went to the free throw ring, where Barkley had a better chance and immediately passed the ball to the small basket in the rebound.

Barkley let out a loud shout, jumped up, grabbed the basketball in the air, and came up with a one-handed slam dunk to end the round of the fight.

A nice air relay!

The home and away scores changed to 30-23, with the home team leading by seven points.

The ball is rotated, and it is still the away team that serves the baseline ball.

A 3+1, an offensive foul plus 1 penalty, a steal plus an aerial relay, and the visitors failed to serve the baseline ball three times.

The problem was so serious that the visiting coaching staff had to call a 100-second timeout.

Pat Riley himself came to Larry Brown and asked Maddie to leave.

Larry Johnson was off and Maddie moved on to the visitors, coming off the bench.

The home team line-up remains unchanged.

Maddie, full name Tracy - McGrady, nicknamed Maddie, Maddie, nicknamed T-Mac, 2.03 meters tall, 2.16 meters in reach, 93 cm vertical jump, 108 cm in run-up jump, shooting guard, small forward.

Drafted by the Raptors in the 9th round in '97, he is currently playing alongside his cousin Vince Carter, and his style of play is elegant, and he is in a suppressed state because Carter's shine is too bright.

In the real world, Maddie proved himself to be a top swingman in the second half of the millennium season, signing and then trading, and joined the Magic team with a high salary of $93 million over seven years.

In 2004, Maddie and Francis switched clubs and came to the Houston Rockets to partner with my country's center "Little Giant" Da Yao to establish the "MM Combination" and become one of the most well-known stars in China.

On December 9, 04, the Rockets played the Spurs at home, Maddie scored 3 three-pointers in 35 seconds plus a three-plus-one, slashing 13 points, and the Rockets magically defeated the Spurs 81-80, achieving a great "Maddie moment"!

In the later stage, Maddie and Da Yao were always forced by the Rockets management who were eager for quick success, frequently increased playing time, and were discharged from the hospital early, resulting in repeated recurrences of injuries and unable to break the "first-round playoff curse", which is very regrettable.

At the moment, Maddie is yet to be an All-Star and plays the role of the best sixth man among the Raptors, occasionally forming a backcourt duo with Carter.

Hardaway serves the ball.

Maddie receives the ball, dribbles back to the backfield, and Usyris defends closely.

The other players ran their own positions and took the lead near the halfway line to wait.

Similar scenes have occurred many times, with Hardaway, Alan Houston, and Larry Johnson all deflated, and now they have been replaced by Maddie.

Maddie also wanted to weigh up Usyris's close-range defensive ability.

He showed off a gorgeous cross-step dribble break, dangling left and right, pulling the ball left and right, and tried 5 times in a row, but he still couldn't break through Usyris's defense.

The home coaching staff and players laughed.

The visiting coaching staff and players shook their heads in unison. ,

Pat Riley sighed, young man, always competitive, what should not be challenged, but to challenge, hey!

Jeff Van Gundy was in a hurry and yelled, "Maddie, pass, pass, we need to pass!" ”

Maddie was not convinced, but still made one last effort, forced a breakthrough, but the last step hit Usiris's body, and the basketball was out of his hand.

Usyris, at the last minute, took a big lateral stride and stood firm, and although he was knocked down by Maddie, he made a beautiful offensive foul.

Drip!

The referee, Bill Russell, blew the whistle and signaled for an offensive foul.

Maddie shrugged her shoulders helplessly.

Once again, the home and away players stood in the free throw positions on either side of the paint field, with no slots, no defense, and no questions about why.

"Ussie, dunk!"

"Ussie, dunk!"

"Ussie, dunk!"

Fans inside and outside the arena cheered the same sentence again.

Usiris had a cold face, and inside the free throw circle, he took a step forward, took a big jump, and completed a beautiful free throw line jump dunk to score 1 point.

Offensive and defensive rotation.

The visitors served for the fifth time.

Pat Riley suddenly stepped up and shouted, "Hakim with the ball, Maddie, fast attack!" Maddie, fast attack! ”

The visiting players heard the manager's tactical instructions and immediately acted in obedience.

Hardaway serves the ball, Marbury defends.

Olajuwon received the ball and dribbled across the half, with Mutombo defending closely.

Maddie took a big jump and shook off Usiris, who was super fast, and was the first to run to his own offensive half.

Usilis hurriedly chased after him, but his speed was not as fast as Maddie, and the more he chased, the farther away he was from being pulled away.

Marbury was the first to catch up, but was already a step too late.

Olajuwon made a big turn and broke past Mutombo with a long ball.

Maddie was in the middle of the vacant position, received the basketball, a one-handed quick dribble, rushed to the basket penalty area, yelled, viciously came to a two-handed violent buckle, and spit out the depression in his heart.

The home team's coaching staff could only shrug their shoulders helplessly, it seems that Usilis's slow speed defect has been seen through by the "god operator" Pat Riley!

Ball rotation.

Olajuwon and Alonzo-Mourning were once again entangled with Usyris, and Maddie and Rodman also deliberately or unintentionally brought Usyris closer to Usiris in order to be ready to defend at any time.

Marbury serves the ball.

Larry Brown and John Thompson Jr. suddenly stood up and shouted, "Ussy, get in the front!" Frontcourt card slot! ”

People have different talents and different advantages, and it is the right way to develop their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.

Usyris immediately complied with the coaching staff's instructions and rushed into his own offensive half first, carrying the basket at a 90-degree angle outside the three-point line, ready to receive the ball.

The backcourt became 4 to 3, and after the pass was coordinated one by one, there was naturally no problem with the backcourt with the ball within 8 seconds.

Olajuwon and Alonzo-Mourning were in hot pursuit, one behind close and the other on the right, and although they gave Usyris a chance to catch the ball, they were ready to suffocate Usyris.

Marbury singled Maddy and dribbled into his own half, and after shouting the command, he directed his players to take their positions.

Mutombo and Oakley stood at a 60-degree angle from the three-point line and a 120-degree angle from the three-point line, respectively.

Rodman defends Mutombo behind his back.

Ross Barkley and Oakley were in position on the left and right sides, with Hardaway defending Barkley in front of him.

Oakley was emptied.
