Legendary basketball manager

Chapter 305 Re-engraving Jordan, the basketball poet is online!

As the boss of the team, McGrady did his part to assume the responsibility of the final attack.

He dribbled the ball slowly across half court, pausing near the center circle, and quietly waiting for the clock to tick.

The rest of the Rockets spread out to two corners and a 45-degree angle, trying to spread the court as far as possible so that Tracy McGrady can make full use of it.

Against t-mac, the Mavericks' best perimeter defender-Shawn Marion.

He lowered his center of gravity, opened his knee-length arms outwards, and assumed a standard defensive posture.

Soon, there were only 8 seconds left in the attack time.

Maddie moved!

He dribbled the ball across his hips as he approached Marion.

Every crotch dribble is accompanied by a shake of the shoulders.

This "pump-pump" dribbling rhythm is the nightmare of countless defensive players.

Because you don't know which shake will be followed by a real attack.

All Marion can do is focus on McGrady's "centerline" while moving in small steps.

He regards every shake of the opponent's shoulder as a gesture of real breakthrough...

This is Marion's defensive attitude!

But... McGrady is McGrady after all.

Seeing that the opponent's center of gravity was constantly shifting left and right, he immediately made a decision to force a breakthrough!

I saw McGrady kicking the ground with both feet at the same time, and the next moment, he rushed out like an arrow from the string.

The speed was so fast that it even made Marion feel unreal.

Just like that, McGrady whizzed by in front of him, leaving only the back of a white horse with a spear.

After breaking into the restricted area, Rocket No. 1, dressed in white, took off vertically and directly challenged the Mavericks' inside gate-Tyson Chandler.

Chandler has been around the world for many years, and he is famous for blocking shots with one hand.

I saw him jumping with both feet, wanting to have a high-level duel with McGrady.

Unfortunately, Chandler still underestimated McGrady's impact.

At full speed, t-mac's body contains explosive power.

After the two met in the air, McGrady, as a shooting guard, knocked away the big center Chandler...

Of course, after the collision, t-mac couldn't continue to dunk.

In the blink of an eye, McGrady suddenly tightened his stomach, switched the ball from his right hand to his left hand, and sent the ball into the basket with a finger-roll before his body lost its center of gravity.

"woo..."

There was an exclamation in the American Airlines Center.

McGrady's gorgeous operation made the Mavericks fans at home couldn't help but praise:

"omg, isn't this move... the classic layup in the game that Jordan played against the Lakers?"

"The layup in the air after the confrontation! I can only describe this ball as a work of art."

"Basketball poet, I am convinced!"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!"

......

After the goal, McGrady remained calm.

With the index fingers and thumbs of both hands, he lifted the jersey slightly, and showed the world his No. [-] jersey through the camera.

That year, McGrady led the Rockets with a battalion of wounded soldiers and won 22 consecutive victories.

I thought it would be the beginning of a dream.

Who knows, indeed the climax of the story.

Today, the legend disconnected and reconnected.

McGrady once again led the Rockets in a wonderful winning streak.

When he once again made a celebratory gesture to show his jersey, everything seemed like a lifetime away...

As soon as the goal was scored, the morale that the Mavericks had finally built up lost a lot.

With only two seconds left in the second quarter, they failed to organize a decent offensive.

In the end, Terry ended the first half with a very grandstand half-court shot.

.............

During the intermission, the coaches of the two teams decided to make adjustments to the lineup.

The first is the Mavericks side.

Carlisle realized that if he wanted to break through the Rockets' unlimited defenses, he had to rely on the superstar's individual singles.

In the Mavericks, there are three players with the ability to play singles with the ball, and they are ranked from high to low-Nowitzki, Butler, and Terry.

However, the driver is the only one who is more confident among the three.

Facing Paul George, who is in superior physical condition, Butler has no hard way to solve it.

And Terry faced McGrady, at an absolute disadvantage in height.

Although his speed is faster than t-mac, but the latter has a huge stride, not to mention explosive power.

As long as McGrady defends with all his strength, it will be very difficult for Terry to attack with the ball.

But Nowitzki is different.

The German chariot has an absolute advantage in the fourth position, whether facing Griffin or Tucker.

Although the Rockets' two young power forwards have very different styles, they are both short insiders.

The driver faces them and has an absolute size advantage.

Coupled with his precise shooting and skillful control skills, Tucker and Griffin have nothing to do with him in one-on-one situations.

"What we're going to do in the second half is create open shots when Dirk gets double-teamed and put that damn basketball in!"

"In the first half we got a little bit of a feel, right?"

Carlisle looked around at the crowd and asked.

The Maverick generals nodded one after another.

"Going forward, we will continue to implement the 'one more pass' strategy."

"On this basis... Peja, you go first in the second half."

"We need to continue to strengthen the outside firepower so that they don't dare to double-team Dirk easily."

Carlisle said to Peja Stojakovic.

The marksman from Croatia has more than [-]% of his three-pointers.

Not only that, Peja also has a unique skill - the hand that seals the opponent in front of his eyes as a scope!

The simple explanation is... When Peja is open, the opponent jumps at him, jumps up, and tries to block the shot.

In this case, Peja's hit rate will be particularly high.

Reluctantly reaching out to his hand, not only will it not affect Peja, but it will make him more accurate!

Carlisle took a fancy to Peja's attribute, so he replaced Marion, who had a better defense.

"Sean, Caron, you two must play a bigger role in the transition."

"Only if you stand up and help the team bite the score, can we have the possibility of a comeback."

Carlisle put his hands on the table in front of him and said seriously.

Marion and Butler nodded.

............

On the Rockets' side, the group did not rush to study the tactics of the second half, but first appeased Curry's emotions.

During this winning streak, Curry has been playing well.

But today, he was severely targeted by the referee.

Seeing that Big Ben was "ideologically educating" Curry, Mark Jackson smiled and watched from the side without saying a word.

In fact, as early as the early days when Mengshen joined the Rockets, Shen Fei once mentioned to Mark Jackson that Curry was prone to fouls.

In Shen Fei's original words:

"Stephen is good at everything, but there are two points that need special attention."

"One is, he doesn't have a 'cylinder' offensively."

"What's more, he may encounter foul problems during important games."

When hearing this passage for the first time, Mark Jackson didn't take it seriously, and even extremely doubted its authenticity.

The second point makes sense, after all, Curry prefers to start steals in training.

But Mark Jackson believes that with Curry's basketball IQ, it is absolutely impossible to lose the chain due to too many fouls in key games.

As for the first point - without the cylinder, it's even more outrageous.

A "thin" small guard will actually receive certain preferential treatment in the league.

People will unconsciously sympathize with the weak, and so are referees.

Mark Jackson didn't believe that if Curry rushed to the inside of the long line and was violated, the referees would ignore it.

[You think he is Anthony? ]

Mark Jackson complained so much in his heart at the time.

But as time went by, the reality mercilessly slapped the young Marshal Rocket countless times.

The "thin" Curry really has no cylinder at all.

Meng God shouted "and.one" again and again, and the referee smiled again and again.

Those who hear it are sad, and those who hear it cry.

Anthony saw it and made an appointment to get drunk.

And today, the referee verified that Shen Fei's first reminder was also accurate.

In key games, Curry really encountered foul trouble!

In the half game, he scored 3 fouls and a technical foul.

A little carelessness, Curry will have a long bench time in the second half.

............

"Coach? Coach!"

Lowry's voice pulled Mark Jackson back from his thoughts.

"Do you have anything to arrange?"

Little Steel Pao continued to ask.

"Ah... I've been thinking about the tactics for the second half, so I lost my mind, sorry."

"So... Ben, you replace Blake in the second half and start the game."

"I predict that the Mavericks will definitely strengthen their offense in the second half."

"No matter what tactics they adopt, the core of the offense must be Nowitzki, so we must strengthen our defense against him."

Mark Jackson analyzed.

Everyone nodded.

Daben's eyes were burning and he was full of fighting spirit.

Griffin also understood the coach's arrangement very well, and took the initiative to high-five Ben Wallace.

"Now we have the advantage, so...play steadily, but if there is a chance, we still have to push back boldly."

"Goddess of Victory, you are destined to favor us tonight!"

After all, Mark Jackson walked to the center of the locker room and stretched out his right hand.

The rocket generals got up one after another and gathered together.

"o. three..."

"go. rockets!"
