Chapter 227 "Position Control Mai" Birth

After the start of the third quarter, anyone with a discerning eye could see that McGrady's desire to score is very high.

After a few rounds, McGrady scored the first 10 points in singles, 6 of which came from his shots, and the shooting rate of 4 of 3 was surprisingly high.

The most unbelievable thing for the Lakers and the surrounding fans is that McGrady actually passed the ball after encountering double-teaming.

In fact, none of the four major shooting guards was alone in their peak period.

In everyone's impression, Kobe is the most unique, but this does not mean that the other three are better off.

Of the four shooting guards back then, Kobe was independent, McGrady was soft, and Iverson was iron. This was the unique label of the three big players at the time.

Iverson is the strongest of the four categories, but Kobe has the highest shooting percentage among the four, which is quite surprising.

"Reggie, starting from the third quarter, Tracy's style of play is different from before. He doesn't seem to be obsessed with his dry play anymore."

It is certain that Smith looked at the uncharacteristic McGrady, and the black question mark face reappeared.

"That's right, Tracy must have been stimulated by something. He seems to have reached another critical transition period in his career."

In his playing career, Reggie Miller was also known as the No. 2 position for scoring. He is the latest few people to notice the changes in McGrady so far.

"Tracy this guy..."

Kobe discovered his good friend immediately, and it seemed that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.

As the game progressed, under the incredible eyes of everyone, McGrady relied on his continuous scoring to keep the score within 5 points.

I still remember Van Gundy once said: "Except for Nash, no one in today's league passes the ball better than Tracy McGrady."

Although there is a bit of exaggeration in this statement, it is enough to show that McGrady's passing skills are high.

McGrady averaged 6.5 assists in the season with the highest assists per game. This performance is already better than most point guards in the league.

And McGrady not only did a good job in scoring, but also acted as the team's defensive vanguard on the defensive end.

Kobe had Shane Battier to defend, and he directly dislocated to the first position to defend Jinhao, and the defensive effect was also very good.

At this moment, McGrady's old fans vaguely saw McGrady in the Raptors period as the shadow of the team's perimeter defense gate.

Among the four shooting guards, Kobe and McGrady started their careers on defense. Among them, McGrady's potential and deterrence on the defensive end in the early days of his career are better than Kobe's.

To be exact, Tracy McGrady in 2000 was the most shot-blocking defender in NBA history. He averaged only 31 minutes per game, but he averaged 1.9 blocks per game. I Jordan's guard block record.

In the summer of 2000, free agent McGrady became the hottest supernova in the league, and his hometown of Florida, Orlando's blue was calling him, and the No. 1 returned to the place where his dream started.

At that time, McGrady's position was still Pippen, and his Jordan was Sea Grant Hill, but fate always likes to joke, his Jordan fell due to injury at the beginning of the game.

But talent is something that can't be suppressed sometimes.

The strongest shield in the NBA has become the sharpest spear in the world after only one summer.

After taking off the purple jersey, a young man with a white horse and a long gun was born out of nowhere, piercing the night sky of the NBA, and finally became a generation of heroes.

During the timeout, Adelman was talking about his tactical arrangements, but McGrady suddenly spoke.

"Coach, let me play the No. 1 position in the next time!"

After several choices, McGrady finally expressed his inner decision.

"You're going to play number one, but Tracy, can you adapt?"

After Adelman heard McGrady's words, at this moment he only felt whether he was crazy.

You must know that the man in front of him is one of the top four points in the NBA. Now this guy actually told himself that he was going to play the No. [-] position.

"Don't worry, coach, this is the result after careful consideration. I have lost my previous dominance in the NBA at the second position, but the appearance of the rookie on the opposite side has given me an extra path. I suddenly I found out that if I switched to the No. [-] position, it might be a very good choice.”

At this moment, Aardman and his teammates knew that McGrady was not joking.

"Coach, I think Tracy's choice can be considered. Anyway, the team has been lagging behind. Instead of sticking to the original state, it is better to make changes. Maybe there will be some surprises."

If McGrady really wants to play the No. [-] position, Yao Ming should be the first to agree, because he knows better than anyone else that McGrady has the best passing skills in the Mosaic team.

"Row!"

Seeing that the team's dual cores have already agreed to this decision, Adelman did not refuse any more, and he himself expressed his expectation and curiosity about McGrady playing the No. [-] position.

After several team bosses made such a happy decision, Alston and the team's rookie of the year Aaron Brooks had a bitter smile on their faces.

Both of them are very clear that if McGrady really performs well in the first position, life will be difficult for them in the future.

But so what, no one cares about the idea of ​​two role players, every NBA team revolves around the core of the team, and if the role players are not X, then change them!
After returning to the field, Jin Hao suddenly found that his opponent had become McGrady, and he was stunned for a moment.

"What is McGrady going to do?"

With a trace of curiosity, Jin Hao
Seeing McGrady skillfully commanding his teammates to run, he looks like the core of the team. The key is that McGrady is still doing well.

I am stupid!

McGrady's sudden appearance at the No. [-] position really caught the Lakers by surprise.

And when McGrady no longer obsessed with singles, but used his offensive deterrence to drive the defense of the Lakers players, Mosaic played more and more easily for the other four players, often getting open opportunities.

"Oh, it's Yao-Mac connection again. This is already the third assist from McGrady to Yao Ming in this game."

Kenny Smith looked at McGrady who had scored 21 points and 8 assists, and felt incredible. He really didn't expect McGrady to have such an amazing performance when he was playing the No. 1 position.

"Kenny, didn't you notice it? There is a wonderful thing happening on the court now. The first position of the Lakers and the Mosaic team is the highest among the outside players of the team, and their styles of play are very similar!"

Reggie Miller pointed at Jin Hao and McGrady with a strange expression. He said that it has been a long time since we met in today's game.

"Well, that seems to be the case!"

"I feel like I saw two magicians facing each other. You should be able to feel this feeling. It's really weird."

Kenny Smith naturally understands Reggie Miller's description. This is probably the first time in NBA history that a player in the No. [-] position of two teams in a game is the highest among perimeter players.

Not to mention that the two commentators are the audience at the scene, the head coaches of the two teams, and the audience in front of the TV. Their expressions are wonderful.

And Jin Hao himself felt that he was competing with another self.

Both Jin Hao and McGrady are over 2 meters tall, and they both play the No. 03 position, and McGrady, like him, has ball control, shooting, and breakthroughs, and it can even be said to be better than him.

Compared with McGrady now, I am afraid that the only advantage he has is his defensive ability.

And McGrady himself felt weird in his heart, but at this moment he felt that he probably chose the right path, and it felt really good to play the first position.

He has already understood the important reason why the magician was in all directions in the NBA back then. With such a height to match up with the No. [-] position of other teams, except for the kid in front of him, he beat others like an adult against a child. It's just bullying people!
However, I like it!

It wasn't until the last minute and a half of the third quarter that the Mosaic team finally completed the first overtake of the game.

Fans at the Toyota Center Arena even chanted "It's dawn!"
