McGrady faced Kobe again, with his back against Kobe, and scored 2 points with a fadeaway jumper in front of Kobe.
Near the midfield, McGrady made a surprise attack from behind and actually stole the ball from Steve Blake. Then he quickly went down the field and, with the attention of the Lakers players, he easily hit the ball from outside the three-point line.
.
McGrady's outburst gave the Spurs a clarion call for counterattack.
Iguodala passed through the middle, and after he got rid of the defensive player, Steve Blake's ball magically appeared in his hands. Facing the empty basket, he chose the most conservative way to score.
.successful layup.
The tsunami-like cheers at Staples Arena almost completely covered up Kobe's shooting action. Kobe made a wonderful steal, and McGrady chose to force a breakthrough in front of Kobe's defense. The excellent physical fitness is obvious among the defenders.
Due to his advantageous height, he prefers to overpower the opponent's defenders in his offense.
Without any flashy skills, the momentum alone is enough to make McGrady's breakthrough very threatening. Even if his opponent is a player like Kobe, with his agile breakthrough, he has no choice but to retreat.
However, although McGrady burst in, the ball in his hand was retained by his opponent Kobe.
Chen Feng's action was still a step too late. By the time he caught up to the three-point line, Kobe had already jumped high, gently held the ball above his head with both hands, and waved his wrist gently.
"Uh-huh", the crisp sound of the basket finally put a smile on Kobe's face. Especially when he saw Chen Feng's helpless eyes, he felt very proud. He was a player with extremely high self-esteem and a strong man.
The stronger the player, in his world, the strong are worthy of respect.
D'Antoni has never arranged for Kobe to defend Chen Feng full-time. With Chen Feng's strength, only Kobe and Iguodala in the Lakers can limit him. However, in the head coach's tactical philosophy, he will not easily let the two teams
Ace duel. In the duel, each other consumes the physical strength and fighting spirit of the ace.
, is definitely not what the Lakers can afford at the moment, but even so, Kobe's life is not easy at all. Although McGrady's physical recovery is not very good, McGrady, who defends desperately, is definitely an excellent defensive player.
It was squeezing his physical strength bit by bit.
The Spurs made substitutions, Mills replaced Chen Feng, Diaw replaced Tim Duncan, and Jordan Hill replaced Derrick Favors.
The Lakers also made adjustments to the lineup. Kobe was replaced by Xavier Henry, Iguodala was replaced by Williams, and Jefferson was also replaced.
The game continues, and McGrady here maintains his excellent touch. He continues to attack!
"Whoa". After making a pull-up jumper, McGrady looked happy when he landed.
I didn't have much hope for the shot I just made. Even though my shooting time was so abrupt, Xavier Henry still interfered with me when I was shooting. In order to avoid his slap, McGrady was shooting.
At that time, the arc was lifted a little higher.
He was secretly glad in his heart. Today's hand feels really good, and God seems to be on his side. He can score such a difficult goal. But thinking about it, in his opinion, his condition today is really good.
.
The Lakers attacked, Xavier Henry missed a three-pointer, and Wesley Johnson grabbed a defensive rebound.
Then, Wesley Johnson passed the ball to McGrady.
McGrady controls the ball, and the basketball jumps happily between McGrady's fingers. On the timer behind him, the seconds have jumped to nine seconds. This is already the last offensive opportunity before the end of the first quarter.
Chen Feng left the game, and the Spurs' last attack obviously completed McGrady, who was in good form.
In the sudden moment of McGrady, Xavier Henry didn't even react at all. His loss officially announced the decline of the Lakers' perimeter defense.
Xavier Henry's explosive power and speed are good, but McGrady's experienced experience allowed him to slip past Xavier Henry in a very rhythmic manner. Xavier Henry, on the other hand, could only watch helplessly as McGrady quickly entered the paint.
The body soars into the air, towards a soaring eagle.
"Bang," McGrady completed the Spurs' final attack with a thundering dunk.
As the referee blew the whistle, the first quarter of the game officially ended.
The Spurs relied on the explosion of Chen Feng and Tracy McGrady to lead the Lakers by 4 points at 26:22.
"Man, you played well." Chen Feng threw a towel to McGrady and said to him with a smile.
"Ha, you didn't do a bad job!" McGrady responded.
Chen Feng curled his lips, "I thought you had an outburst because there were a lot of beautiful celebrities here today!"
"Shet, don't think that I think the same as you."
Joyous laughter soon erupted from the Spurs dugout.
Soon, the second quarter of the game began.
Steve Blake carefully brought the ball across the half court, but this time he did not transfer the ball to Kobe's hands as usual. Instead, he accelerated and easily passed by Mills, a mid-range shot.
Shooting from the ground, the ball fell steadily into the basket.
Mills spread his hands helplessly. The main responsibility for this goal lies with him. His habitual thinking made him too careless in defense. Even if defense is not his strong point, he has no reason to let his opponent break through so easily.
And the opponent is only players like Steve Blake.
Mills held the ball after halftime, and Steve Blake quickly came up and blocked Mills' breakthrough route. This was the first time that Steve Blake defended so actively in the game, but
In defense, attitude is of course very important, but wisdom is also indispensable. A player who only has a body but no mind will never be a successful defensive player.
A realistic fake move, Mills has easily affected his center of gravity, and the right foot of the false step quickly retreated. Such a simple fake move has made Steve Blake's footing unstable and his center of gravity floating.
, could only watch as Mills passed by easily, and the breeze gently slapped him on the cheek.
After breaking through and distributing the ball, McGrady jumped slightly from the baseline on the right side, the ball quietly slipped through his hands, and a textbook three-pointer was scored.
On the Lakers side, Kaman made a throw from the basket and hit it.
McGrady moved, kept entangled, and finally took advantage of Xavier Henry's unsteady steps. McGrady unexpectedly ran back and got a chance to take action. At this time, the ball was in Mills' hands.
At this time, the Lakers' defense had been disrupted by McGrady, who only needed to gently pass the ball past Kobe to get an open three-pointer.
Faced with McGrady's eager eyes and his right hand reaching forward for the ball, Mills quickly passed the ball to McGrady.
McGrady opened his hand and hit a three-pointer, "swipe", and the ball went in!
"Tracy is quite aggressive today!" Chen Feng smiled as he watched McGrady hit another three-pointer and said to Ginobili beside him.
"Yeah, this guy's shooting percentage is really high today! It seems that I have very few chances to play today." Ginobili said pretending to be depressed.
This sentence is naturally a joke. No one can deprive Ginobili of his playing time, except himself and **Vicci!
Chen Feng smiled and continued to watch the game on the court!
Although he can gain experience by simulating games in the virtual space, watching his teammates play at close range on the spot will also give him a lot of experience, especially a former superstar like Tracy McGrady.
Xavier Henry was holding the ball at the top of the key and wanted to pass the ball, but suddenly hesitated.
As soon as McGrady took out his hand, Xavier Henry's ball was cut off by McGrady.
After intercepting the ball from Xavier Henry, McGrady held the ball all the way down and then ended the fast break with an exciting dunk.
"Bang," the sound of the dunk once again inspired all the Spurs players.
Since McGrady came on the scene, the Spurs' momentum has quickly been boosted.
D'Antoni on the opposite side couldn't calm down anymore. He wisely called a timeout and prepared to adjust the lineup.
After the timeout, the Spurs made another adjustment to their lineup. Chen Feng replaced Mills and Leonard replaced Wesley Johnson.
For the Lakers, Kobe Bryant came up and replaced Xavier Henry, Pau Gasol also came up and replaced Chris Kaman, and Al Jefferson also replaced Williams.
The game continues, the Lakers attack.
Williams made a free throw from the sideline. Steve Nash took the ball from his hands and slowly advanced toward the frontcourt. After halftime, Steve Nash passed the ball to Kobe.
As soon as Kobe received the ball, McGrady followed him.
Kobe vs. McGrady, all the fans' attention was instantly attracted.
From the beginning of the game to now, the best players of the two teams are naturally Kobe and McGrady. Kobe made 6 of 9 shots before taking the field and scored 14 points; McGrady also made 5 of 7 shots and scored 12 points.
.
It can be seen from this that this game is definitely a scoring battle between Tracy McGrady and Kobe.
Although McGrady has not yet reached his peak form, he is in very good shape now.
Kobe beat McGrady in isolation and made a step-back jumper. After McGrady tried his best to interfere, the ball missed and Jordan Hill grabbed the defensive rebound.
The Lakers players hadn't fully returned to defense yet. Chen Feng's pass had already spanned most of the court. The ball fell steadily into Leonard's hands. With an easy two-handed slam dunk, Leonard scored 2 more points.
point.
"There were so many dunks today, especially from the Spurs. It was so exciting." A neutral fan said excitedly.
"Come on Spurs, come on San Antonio, come on Chen Feng!" a Spurs fan shouted. (To be continued...)
