Chapter 81: Orlando Strikes (6)
Some of the players are particularly interesting, they are in a swooping state, and for a moment they are unbeatable, like the god of victory; After a while, it was a mess and dragged the whole team back. When you're expecting his performances, his sluggish form will leave you staggering; When you don't expect anything from him, he occasionally erupts, or occasionally makes an appearance at the most critical moment, which surprises you. This kind of player likes to go to extremes, the word "mediocrity" has nothing to do with them, and they either bloom brightly or fail completely. These types of players are fun, and part of the charm of sports comes from their elusive play, which some people call "nerve knives". The famous nerve knife, the most typical, is J.R. Smith of the NBA Knicks. He can score a dozen threes in a game, but sometimes he can't score a point. It's hard to figure out.
But the nerve knife and the jerker are not exactly one concept.
Neuroknives have convulsions, and when they have convulsions, they are very bad, but when they don't, they are very sluggish. And super players can also have convulsions, and when they don't have convulsions, they are already very powerful, and convulsions are even more terrifying. They smoke crazy to terrorize enemies, excite teammates, and make fans scream.
Maddie is a veritable jerker, especially when someone makes him angry.
On February 21, 2003, in the face of the owner Magic to transfer his best friend Mike Miller, Maddy, who was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, scored 52 points in less than three quarters in the face of the former Dynasty Bulls, and never played again in the second part of the third quarter and the entire fourth quarter (33 minutes), Magic coach Doug Rivers commented with great embarrassment: If Maddie still has friends, we will trade them out one by one.
On March 9, 2003, T-MAC continued to perform madly and single-handedly slashed the Nuggets in only half of the game, and it was not too unusual to score 43 points in 31 minutes, but 27 points in the first half and 25 points in the second quarter broke the team record held by Brooks Thompson and Shaquille O'Neal, and it was also the craziest half-time scoring performance in the NBA in 10 years. Darrell Armstrong said: "I was stupid when I went into the locker room, the Nuggets scored five fewer points than T-MAC in the half. Chris Whitney, who once stood side by side with God in the Wizards, said: I have watched a lot of 22 points and 24 points in 18 minutes, but such an amazing performance of Nagasaka Slope is really incredible (it has a Chinese charm, isn't it). In March 2003, Maddie scored more than 30 points in 14 consecutive games, averaging 37 points per game and shooting 50% from the field. At this time, T-Mac officially became the title of Maddie.
On January 26, 2004, the Magic lost to the Cavaliers 98-99 on the road, and Maddy scored 36 points in 25 minutes (34 points in the half) and left the court with a sprained ankle in a fast-break layup in the third quarter. But he was on a hot 8-of-8 shooting from beyond the three-point line, tying the NBA's half-court three-point record at the time. LeBron James, the little emperor who returned from injury, said after the game: Fortunately, he is down, or it is sure that it will be another 50-point game, even if it is pressed on the face, this must be the most terrible shooting performance I have ever seen.
On March 10, 2004, he scored 62 points in a single game, becoming another 60-point club member after Shaquille O'Neal. In the first 18 minutes, Tracy McGrady scored 24 points and the Wizards scored 23 points as a team. Maddy, who was struggling in the fourth quarter, missed nine free throws on 1-of-11 shooting. At the end of the game, Maddie pointed her finger to the sky and left the scene with a gloomy face. Gilbert Arenas, who also scored a new season high, said: "I tried to keep up with him all the time, but I was shot.
This is the terrifying Maddie, the terrifying star convulsioner.
But his opponent is very terrifying. Luke also went insane at the start of the fourth quarter, and Maddie couldn't stop him.
Michael Reid was also affected. Originally, if Michael Reid had gone to the Milwaukee Bucks like he had been in the original world, his highest achievement would have been to become a shooter between super-class and first-class as he had been. The ability to score with the ball in the confrontation has never entered the realm of first-class players. There is a gap between him and his predecessor, Ray Allen, in this regard. It is also due to this weakness that opponents have mostly used one-on-one one-on-one strong confrontations against him to suppress long-range shots, and when he actually touches the ball, he has relatively few doubles or more, which means that his chances of creating open space for teammates are congenitally flawed. These questions are certainly clear to Luke. So in the 76ers. Michael Reid doesn't have the same agile movement, precise shooting, and graceful movement. Instead, it becomes a complex. Break like Allen, shoot like Tony Kukoc, and defend like Luke...... In short, Michael Reid is growing step by step. And now, he's starting to go berserk. After Allen went down, Reed went to the point guard position (although he was a point guard, but it was Luke who actually controlled the ball, but when he defended, he defended Darrell Armstrong), although Darrell Armstrong was cheap and beautiful, but Reed, who was crazy on defense, struggled and let Reed score frequently. In the end, this crazy temperament spread to the whole team. Tony Kukoc is also starting to show his "European Jordan" temperament, and McMiller can't stop it at all. As for Big Ben, he just smiled and put the frontcourt rebounds and backcourt rebounds in the fourth quarter into his arms, just because the shooting rate of both sides was extremely high, and Big Ben didn't get many rebounds (you are content, what do you want to do, people's inside lines are about to cry), which also makes him very unhappy.
In this way, even if Maddy went crazy and even Allen didn't play, but the 76ers, who were at their best in Luke, Reed, Tony Kukoc, and Big Ben, won the game in the end, defeating the Orlando Magic 110-99 to win the team's second four-game winning streak this season.
Allen was very happy, and even though he didn't play in the fourth quarter, he was still happy that his team had won. He says he's going to have a drink, but Luke refuses.
"Hey, Luke, isn't your girlfriend gone? What else are you afraid of? "Of course Aaron knows about Luke's situation."
"That's, that's it, could it be that you're still afraid of her surprise inspection?" Reed, who had performed well today, was in a good mood and coaxed on the side.
"......" Luke really had nothing to say in the face of these nonsensical two.
"And Maddie and they are coming today, how embarrassing are you not going to our 76ers." Aaron switched things up again.
"What is he doing here?" Luke was curious.
"Of course it's fun, how about going about it." Aaron said.
"Alright," Luke thought for a moment, "let's go." ”
“go,go,go!” Aaron shouted. The rest of the 76 people heard the wind and followed.
