Chapter 251 Li Lei vs McGrady
The Magic attack.

McGrady took the initiative to ask for the ball this time.

Facing Wade's fierce defense, McGrady dribbled the ball under his crotch, made a large and elegant turn, then jumped up, and threw the ball while moving in the air.

This ball is extremely difficult and very elegant and elegant.

The characteristics of McGrady's agility are fully displayed.

Wade defended very hard, but some things cannot be made up for by hard work.

McGrady's talent is at Jordan's level, even surpassing Jordan. His height and wingspan are bugs at the 2nd position, and almost no one in the entire NBA can guard him.

Not to mention Wade, who was only 193cm.

Swish!
And the ball went into the net hollow.

11: 8.

After scoring the goal, McGrady stepped back to defend and pointed at Li Lei.

"Boy, continue?"

The TD Water House Center Arena was in an instant commotion.

McGrady responded to Li Lei's provocation.

So now, does Li Lei dare to continue?

Of course!

Li Lei not only wants to continue to attack, but he is also preparing to defend McGrady himself in the next round.

At the top of the arc, Li Lei posed three threats.

Turkoglu felt very uncomfortable. He really couldn't keep up with Li Lei, but he had to fight.

Snapped!
Without the slightest temptation, Li Lei started directly, keeping his center of gravity very low.

Concentrated, Turkoglu moves back in an instant, keeping his defensive position.

But at this moment, Li Lei dribbled the ball under his crotch and changed direction to break through.

Under the guidance of Tim Graver, Li Lei's breakthroughs and changes of direction have a common feature: big.

The magnitude is huge!

This is also tailored based on Li Lei's height advantage.

Turkoglu immediately slid across and blocked Li Lei again.

It has to be said that defense depends on attitude.

Turkoglu defended very hard this time and blocked Li Lei again.

But at this moment, Li Lei made another huge change of direction.

But this time, Turkoglu could no longer stop Li Lei.

In any case, Turkoglu is 208cm and 108kg after all. Such a height and weight will affect the lateral movement speed.

Simply put, it's bulky.

He wanted to move back sideways in his mind, but his body couldn't keep up, there was a conflict between his feet and his head, and the result was that he fell directly to the ground.

Li Lei knocked Turkoglu down.

Torn Ankle: Li Lei!

In this way, there was nothing in front of Li Lei, as wide as the sea.

Li Lei took his time, adjusted his rhythm, and then shot.

For Li Lei, isn't this kind of ball a point?
Swish!
Sure enough.

11: 11.

Li Lei responded to McGrady again.

You get 2 points, I get 2 points too.

You shoot three-pointers, I also shoot three-pointers.

Don't give in at all, don't hesitate at all, tit for tat!

This period of competition became a confrontation between McGrady and Li Lei.

The fans were very happy to see it.

In particular, McGrady's turn around and then the mid-air lateral shot, and Li Lei's shot after knocking down Turkoglu, are all goals that can be included in the career highlights, not to mention today's top five goals.

In the following rounds, Li Lei prepared to defend McGrady himself.

But Pat Riley called a timeout and made adjustments.

Chucky exits, Percy enters.

Posey goes to the 2nd position and defends McGrady. As the top wing defender in the league, Posey is 203cm tall and has an amazing wingspan. It is more suitable to defend McGrady.

Wade cameo No. 1.

"Stone, you continue to play the 3rd position, and T-MAC can be handed over to James (Posey)."

Riley obviously sensed what Li Lei was thinking, but he didn't agree.

As the head coach, he thinks more than Li Lei.

Li Lei is indeed the best defender of the Heat, but he is also the core of the offense.

Tonight, O'Neal was absent due to injury, and Wade was very restrained facing the Magic with Howard...

Then, Li Lei must take on more offensive tasks.

Riley can't put all the offensive and defensive tasks on Li Lei, otherwise Li Lei may not be able to survive the third quarter.

On the side of the Magic, coach Da Fan also made adjustments.

Deshaun Stevenson enters, Turkoglu exits.

Stevenson can swing the 2 and 3 positions and is the best perimeter defender of the Magic.

The game restarts.

Facing Posey, McGrady made continuous tentative steps.

But Posey put all his energy into standing firmly in front of McGrady.

Since the last "nightclub incident", Posey has completely corrected his attitude, trained hard off the court, and defended desperately on the court.

Posey defended McGrady, it was really stalking, and he did everything he could, showing Riley his value and attitude.

I was afraid that Riley would not give him a chance and freeze him.

Under his defense, McGrady couldn't find a chance for a while.

In the subsequent forced shot, McGrady missed the shot under Posey's interference.

Bang!

Under the basket, Mourning entangled Howard and helped Haslem grab the rebound.

The Heat attack.

Facing Deshaun Stevenson who had just appeared on the stage, Li Lei directly motioned for everyone to pull away.

Stevenson is undeniably a defensive specialist, but...he's too short!
He is only 198cm as the main shooting guard, and he is not bad at defending other small forwards, but he is not enough to face the 205cm Li Lei.

Li Lei made three threats and tried continuously.

Stevenson had seen Li Lei's super-large stride breakthrough, and he didn't dare to defend himself close to him. He could only put pressure on Li Lei by constantly moving.

But this gave Li Lei a loophole.

Taking advantage of Stevenson's backward movement, Li Lei pulled it up suddenly.

Stevenson rushed forward again, but facing the tall and long-armed Li Lei, he was really powerless.

The basketball passed high over Stevenson's fingertips, crossed a parabola, and passed through the frame.

Swish!
still have.

11: 14.

After several minutes of stalemate, the Heat finally took the lead.

The Heat's bench is all about grabbing the show, towel dancing, hip-twisting dance...

Avril Lavigne on the sidelines also excitedly cheered for Li Lei.

Her man is the strongest in the world!
Li Lei has scored 10 points in a row.

More importantly, he beat Tracy McGrady.

If McGrady can make a shot, so can Li Lei.

If McGrady couldn't make the shot, Li Lei still scored.

After scoring this goal, Li Lei imitated McGrady's action just now, retreated back to the defense, and pointed his finger at McGrady.

"Old bird, continue?"

Maddie's anger suddenly surged up.

Many people think that McGrady's desire to win is not enough, but in fact McGrady is also a passionate young man, but his sleepy eyes always give people an illusion.

If the desire to win is not strong, how could McGrady in history be closed for a playoff game?
In addition, there is another saying in the league: Kobe has never won a fight, and McGrady has never lost a fight.

Whenever McGrady encountered a challenge, he never persuaded him.

The Magic attack.

McGrady continued to ask for the ball and motioned everyone to move away.

Faced with Posey's stalking, McGrady slammed down on his crotch continuously, receiving strong thrusts.

Posey also really fought hard, going up to fight without hesitation, holding McGrady with his chest again and again, and intercepting McGrady at the free throw line.

But McGrady didn't stop, he turned around again to widen the distance, and then pulled up directly.

However, Percy rushed to the mountain again.

What a stalker!
Posey is definitely the guy who makes every star a headache.

In the air, Posey shot directly and confronted mercilessly.

It was a foul, and McGrady was not allowed to score the goal.

However, relying on his strong waist and abdomen, McGrady forcibly stabilized his body in the air before making a move.

Drip!

The referee's whistle blew first.

Swish!
McGrady's shot then shot through the heart.

2+1!

Faced with Posey's fierce defense, McGrady still threw the ball into the basket.

After scoring this goal, McGrady was also very excited. He clenched his fist and roared ferociously: "Roar!"

And the object of his yelling was not Posey, but Li Lei.

"Young man, this is the result of your provocation, I will blow you up!"

Then, McGrady walked to the free throw line and made a steady free throw.

14: 14.

McGrady's talent is so terrifying.

I still remember Kobe's evaluation of him: He can do everything I can do, and he is one size bigger than me.

The Heat attack.

Wade advanced to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Li Lei.

Before Li Lei could stand still, McGrady moved over and pushed Stevenson away: "Now, he's mine!"

Stevenson didn't dare to talk nonsense, and gave way to the boss.

McGrady patted his palms, spread his legs apart, lowered his center of gravity, and hooked his fingers at Li Lei: "Come on!"

The TD Water House Center exploded instantly.

A head-to-head confrontation between Li Lei and McGrady.

Although the two had been fighting against each other for a long time just now, they did not face each other directly.

And now, it's the real stars one-on-one.

"I'm coming!"

In front of the CCTV camera, Zhang Weiping's guidance voice instantly made domestic fans nervous.

Avril Lavigne on the sidelines also clenched the corner of her clothes.

After all, that's McGrady!
Some fans in later generations doubted McGrady's defensive ability. This is an impression.

In fact, when McGrady first entered the league, he served as Carter's support for the Raptors, and what he did was to defend the vanguard.

In the third year of his career, McGrady averaged 31.2 minutes per game and contributed 1.1 steals and 1.9 blocks. He is an absolute perimeter gate.

In fact, needless to say, just look at McGrady's height and wingspan, you should know how good his talent is, plus flexibility, explosive power, jumping... How could McGrady's defense be poor?
It's just that after going to Orlando and Houston, McGrady has to take on more offensive tasks, and the defensive end is not so focused.

After all, not everyone can catch offense and defense together like Jordan and Kobe, and can play the whole court.

But one thing is for sure, that is when Tracy McGrady is willing to seriously defend, he is still a nightmare for attackers.

And Li Lei finally awakened the beast in Mai Di's heart.

Facing McGrady, Li Lei felt the pressure on his face at the first sight.

That's the aggressiveness on the defensive end, which is exactly what Payton's training camp taught Li Lei.

The pressure on his face made Li Lei tremble... Nervous, scared, and a little bit excited.

Li Lei made three threats and continued to test.

McGrady constantly adjusted his defensive position through subtle steps.

His advantage over Koglu is more flexibility, and his advantage over Stevenson is height and wingspan.

At this moment, McGrady and Li Lei are facing each other, and fans can intuitively find that the two people's body shapes are too similar.

Li Lei continued to make tentative steps, but he still couldn't find McGrady's flaw, so he simply faltered and started it directly.

McGrady moved back, always standing in front of Li Lei, maintaining a defensive position.

Seeing that he couldn't break through, Li Lei pulled back and prepared to take a step back.

However, McGrady leaned forward and rushed forward, directly blocking Li Lei's shooting space.

Li Lei could only retreat beyond the three-point line and look for another opportunity.

In the first attack, Li Lei returned without success, which made him tremble even more.

Excited, he was so excited!

After practicing skills for a summer, I finally found the most suitable opponent.

Li Lei settled down and started directly.

This time, Li Lei took a bigger step.

Even McGrady can barely keep up.

At this moment, Li Lei slumped down and changed direction directly.

When McGrady moved over, Li Lei made another huge change in front of him.

This time, Li Lei finally got a little room to shoot.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Lei jumped up and voted!
However, McGrady rushed forward again, because his explosive power was so good that he rushed over.

Li Lei in the air didn't have time to think about it, so he could only twist his waist and abdomen desperately, and leaned back sharply to avoid McGrady's block.

He is close to a 60-degree angle with the ground, which can almost be regarded as a "lying back" jumper.

This ball is very difficult.

And even so, the ball Li Lei threw barely passed McGrady's fingertips, and was almost wiped.

The basketball crossed an exaggerated parabola, jumped high, and then fell quickly.

Bang!

Unfortunately, the ball hit the edge of the basket.

No way, this ball is too difficult.

And Li Lei fell directly on the floor.

But at this moment, the basketball bounced high, fell for the second time, and fell straight into the basket.

Swish!
in?

in!

14: 17.

"Roar!"

Li Lei, who was still lying on the floor, clenched his fists and roared.

Before his teammates came to help him, Li Lei got up by himself, roaring while running.

It was so exciting to play this ball!

After all, that's Maddie!
McGrady on full defense!
Facing McGrady who was fully defending, Li Lei scored the ball.

It's like you beat your idol, at what your idol is best at.

This feeling, you know?
Moreover, even roaring could not release the beast in Li Lei's heart. He ran to the sidelines and gave Avril a high-five.

The highlight moments are naturally shared with the closest people.

And Avril's eyes are all little stars, and little stars include Li Lei.

Apart from Li Lei, she could no longer tolerate anyone else.

There was also a commotion in the TD Water House Center.

As Orlando fans, they naturally support Tracy McGrady.

But they also have to admit that Li Lei tonight is not inferior to McGrady in the slightest.

Similarly, the Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean are all Li Lei's people, but they also have to admit the horror of McGrady.

On the next turn, the Magic attack.

Li Lei is already planning to defend McGrady.

You guarded me, can I let you go?

But at this moment, Pat Riley yelled from the sidelines: "Two-team T-MAC! Don't give him another one-on-one chance."

Li Lei was a bit over the top, but Riley remained absolutely sober.

Once the strategy is set, it cannot be changed at will.

Li Lei can only give up the idea of ​​continuing to fight McGrady one-on-one. After all, this is a game, and winning or losing is the most important thing.

The Magic attack.

McGrady holds the ball at the top of the arc.

Posey defended, and Haslem also helped defend.

Double attack!
