Basketball injuries only make me stronger

Chapter 51
After Iverson made this goal, it ignited the originally quiet atmosphere.The home field advantage was infinitely magnified at this time, and the fans cheered, cheered for their stars, and cheered for their team.

Of course, the Rockets will not let a team that is difficult to even enter the playoffs shit and pee on their heads, even if this team has the current top scorer Iverson.

Yao Ming served in the backcourt, and Alston advanced with the ball.

The two sides are still relatively relaxed at this time. It was originally a preseason game. Iverson and McGrady even chatted on the court.

"You should come to Philadelphia and try that pizza place I was talking about last time."

"Really... how about a bet, if I can score... 25 points in this game, how about a treat?"

"Come on, it's just preseason."

"Haha, Iverson, who never gives up, has given up?"

Iverson was not provoked by McGrady.His desire to win and fight has always been shown in places worthy of performance.

At this time, Yao Ming fell to the bottom, and Alston dealt the card at the top of the arc and directly lobbed the ball in.

After receiving the ball, Yao Ming turned and feinted, hit Samuel Dalembert with a time lag by surprise, and scored the ball with a signature small hook.

Lian Feng watched with enthusiasm off the court.

It seems that Yao Ming is in a good state at this time.

Yao Ming's efforts are not inferior to Kobe's in the NBA!With hard work, his touch, footsteps, and tonnage at this time are completely crushing against Samuel Dalembert!
Samuel Dalembert was very helpless.A 226 giant with incomprehensible flexible footwork and touch, so when he is not double-teamed, the only thing that affects the score is the touch of the day.

Obviously, Yao Ming feels very good at this time.

In the first few rounds, both sides came and went, each scored, and each got their own defense.

For the 76ers, Iverson played consecutive singles, passed Alstom, hit three mid-range jumpers, and scored 6 points.At the same time, Iguodala succeeded in stealing a ball. Iguodala saw the opportunity and ran immediately. In an instant, the two "AIs" accelerated at the same time, throwing off the Rockets' backcourt players. Then Iverson threw a pass. Dalla caught the ball in the air and smashed it in hard, winning the cheers of the fans in the audience.

As for the Rockets, Alston's ability to control the court is not very strong, but what he has to do is relatively simple, take the ball to the frontcourt, and then hand it over to Yao Ming or Tracy McGrady.The first three shots were made by Yao Ming, and then there was a fast break: Yao Ming blocked Iverson's layup, and then power forward Swift grabbed the rebound and sent a long pass to David Slee, layup.

Lian Feng watched silently.

Generally speaking, because it is a preseason game, players on both sides are adjusting and getting used to it, and because preseason victories are not counted in the rankings, they played more relaxed and made more mistakes.

Although there are often successful dunks, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is caused by too loose defense.

Most of the first quarter passed, and the score between the two sides was not drawn.

but--

Lian Feng couldn't help but glanced at No. 1 of the Rockets, McGrady was chewing gum, as if he didn't wake up, and looked lazy.

Lian Feng silently observed Mai Di, hoping to learn something from him.

First of all, I am the same height as McGrady, both are 203, and they are in the same position.However, McGrady, as the most talented person in the forward position in history, although his wingspan is a few centimeters longer than his own... His style of play will still be very useful for reference.

But after watching the first quarter, Lian Feng was disappointed.

In the first quarter, McGrady scored only three points.He catches the ball on the wing from the three-point line, swings a few times, pulls up and shoots... such a shot, he tried four times, and then scored 3 points.Then, there were no other shots.

In contrast, Iverson said he doesn't care about winning or losing this game, but he took nearly half of the team's shots. In the first quarter, he scored 10 points, 1 steal, 1 assist and 2 rebounds.

In the end, the first quarter ended, the Rockets and the 76ers were 29 to 30, and the 76ers led by 1 point.

It can be seen that the players on both sides are not only adapting to the new coach and teammates, and competing with themselves who have rested for a summer, they are also adapting to the new rules.

Adapting with them, there are also referees.

The scale of whistling is not easy to grasp, but it is true that the new rules are being used penny-pinchingly.The result is obvious. It is more difficult for defenders not to be shaken away without contact, so Iverson's breakthrough seems to be easier to succeed.

Lian Feng glanced at McGrady.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Korver and Iguodala were replaced. Lian Feng thought he could play, but Cheeks called the other two players up.

Cheeks took one look at Lianfeng and said, "You play the last two quarters together. This is the preseason."

What Cheeks means is that the preseason is mainly for the performance and running-in of the substitute players, and the main players often only play the first two quarters.Brother Yi, as a potential rookie, naturally needs more training opportunities, so he will play in the next two quarters, and then Lian Feng will play with him.

Lian Feng nodded, indicating that he understood.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Lianfeng originally thought that the score would continue to be stalemate, because although the 76ers replaced Yige and Korver, which weakened a certain amount of offensive firepower, the Rockets also replaced Yao Ming.

However, variables suddenly occurred.

The man who had been sleepy for the whole section suddenly opened his eyes as if he woke up.

After receiving the ball from the wing, McGrady didn't pull up and shoot again, but made a breakthrough fake and then made another shooting fake.

Backup small forward Matt Barnes jumped back on a drive fake, then pounced on Tracy McGrady when he raised his hand.

McGrady seized the opportunity and passed by with lightning, leaving Matt Barnes behind.

Webber, who defended inside, made a symbolic jump, and McGrady sent the ball into the basket with a lever in the air.

From this ball, McGrady began to perform.

McGrady can be said to be the most difficult player to defend in this era.He's tall, but solid on the ball, with great strides, putting pressure on defenders when he catches the ball on the wing.

If the center of gravity is slightly unstable, McGrady can pass it in one step.Then let him take a step, McGrady can pull up and shoot.

McGrady's dry jumper is extremely elegant.Elegance is the appearance, but the real connotation is: he is extremely tall, has extremely long wingspan, and has excellent jumping ability.

No matter how fast the reaction is, it is impossible for the defender to interfere with Medina's iconic pull-up shot from a distance of one step.

Therefore, the peak McGrady is also an unsolvable existence, and the only thing that affects his scoring is the touch of the day.

Very bad, McGrady, who only shot four balls in the first quarter, seemed to feel the touch all of a sudden after Yao Ming came off the court to rest.

He made three of three shots from the outside, and also had four breakthroughs: one assist, one to the free throw line, and two successful.

Lian Feng couldn't help but secretly stunned. In the second quarter, McGrady scored every shot so far.

Under McGrady's crazy performance, the score was stretched to 18 points in the middle of the second quarter!
