Tracy McGrady himself carries the ball to the front court.

Defending him, of course, Aaron couldn't come, so Larry sent Luke to the top of the tank (although I don't think it's a good word, but that's it used here).

Maddie's offensive ability is very powerful, which is recognized by the whole league. Whether it's changing direction on the dribble, turning and gliding in the air, or changing the pace reasonably when attacking, he knows how to read the opponent's defensive level, and rarely makes that kind of low-level mistake or fails to attack. In other words, unless he doesn't feel good, few people can prevent him from dying. Maddie is a 1vs1 killer (killer), he has excellent leg reflexes and explosiveness, and the first step of the breakthrough is extremely fast and big, and many critics consider it the fastest exposivefirststep after Magic teammate Granthill (Granger Hill) (in this regard, there are also players in the prime of Sprewell, Wade and other players in the golden period) rely on a natural sense of rhythm and big stride to get rid of opponents. The ball has a wide field of vision, dares to pass and can pass, especially relying on height to make long, horizontal and delicate passes across half the court. But there are also ultra-low-level mistakes. Overall, his passing standards are above average. He can be used as the direct initiator of the offense, or as the first commander of the offense, and the judgment of the change of the high and low positions needs to be strengthened, and there is still room for improvement in his passing methods in the future. An excellent jumper and an excellent breakout, he is known as the grandmaster of the dry pull-up jump shot. The means of scoring are mostly concentrated with jumpers from the 17-foot range. But the low back strength is not good enough. The area of breakthrough is concentrated with the bottom line and a 45-degree angle, and the front of the top of the arc of the penalty area changes direction sharply and breaks less. The baseline is the corridor to break through, and the trick to fame is to rely on explosiveness and flexibility to get rid of opponents in the corner of the baseline (the 2001 playoff game against the Bucks, which hasn't happened yet). In Orlando, Maddy also greatly developed his ability from the outside, but it also caused about 1/3 of his shots to be outside the three-point line. With his impressive wingspan at the same position, Maddy's shot from the outside would be as news as Garnett didn't get a double-double. Due to the impact of injuries, he relies too much on projection in the offense, and it is not very common to enter the interior to earn drawfouls (attracting fouls), which has also become the only flaw that Maddie has been criticized for in the offense. Facing Maddie, who has a variety of offensive means and no dead ends, if placed in the SG position, it can be said that he is one of the tallest scoring guards in NBA history, and one of the most powerful scoring guards.

So with the 76ers, unless George Lynch (that North Carolina defensive stalwart) is pulled up to defend Maddie now, the only way to do it is to let Luke go (Allen and Snow are too short).

Luke knows how to defend Maddie and now only has three moves. The first move, to force Maddie to the low post, as mentioned earlier, Maddie's low post skills are the weakest in his arsenal, as long as he is forced to the low post, generally speaking, he will choose to pass, as long as the ball leaves Maddie's hand, Maddie's threat is reduced by half. Of course, it's not realistic, and Maddie isn't stupid, so why do you have to wait until you've pushed him to a low position before making a move, isn't it different to make a shot here? The second trick is to disrupt Maddie's rhythm. As long as you play basketball, you know that in fact, the feel is rhythm plus a little luck. Throw the ball out at the right place, at the right height, with the right strength, and at the right angle, and the ball will naturally get into the net on its own. Of course, if you're lucky, he'll score even if all else isn't right (like James and Kobe's kind of behind-the-board shots are luck). Maddie is just as lucky, but this kind of balloon can't happen every time, so as long as you disrupt his rhythm, you can interfere with his hits, and Maddie who doesn't hit well is not so threatening. But it's not easy. The third trick is the easiest of the three, but it takes a certain amount of courage to execute. This trick is to "get" Maddie directly. Pretty insidious, isn't it? But it works! The previous tricks are all to restrict Maddie, and they may not be very effective. But in the end, this trick directly solves the problem. But there is a lot of pressure on you, and many people don't want to do that. But there's no denying that this is the most powerful move, so how respectable it is for a role player who is willing to do the dirty work, dare to plug the gun hole with his body, and do whatever it takes for the team (hats off to Uncle Bowen, although you have injured so many star players, your contribution to the Spurs is unparalleled). Think about it this year, if Bowen is still around, will James dare to jump like that? Does Ray Allen still dare to shoot key shots? Yes, but watch your feet and think about it, after you shoot this ball, your NBA and even your entire career will be over, can you believe it? Do you still dare to vote? ）。

The first move didn't work, the third move was fierce, and Luke only used the second move.

Luke clung to Maddie after half-time.

"Eh, rookie, why are you in such a hurry. You don't have to stick it so tightly. Maddie said.

"You're a superstar, of course you have to take good care of it." Luke replied, his hands moving.

"You don't know I'm fast?" Maddie started to kick in, rushing forward.

But Luke didn't fall, he used Bruce Bowen's "sticky crab step" (not James's one, that's the walk, it turns out that when we played the dam ball, there was a guy who used the walk and fouled, and he actually said that it wasn't a foul, it was a crab step, and James walked like that. Those of us who didn't know much about basketball at the time were bluffed, and now that I think about it, I just want to say, isn't the crab step a walk? Besides, are you James? ）。 Luke spread his arms and legs apart and moved in a half-crouch. This pace, combined with Luke's own speed, could have caught up with anyone. Luke didn't lose his position at all and stuck to Maddie. Maddie had no choice but to use the most difficult and lowest-hitting shooting method to pull up the step-back jumper. Although Luke can't cover the ball, but it can interfere with Maddie, Luke chooses the method of "Batman" Sean Battier (I don't know why he has this nickname) - "blindfolded".

The hard work paid off, and Luke finally disrupted Maddy's hand, the ball smashed on the hoop, and Big Ben easily took the backcourt rebound into his arms. "Phew-" Luke breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the defense had succeeded.

It's going to be on the offensive again.
