Chapter 178
The Magic players saw that McGrady couldn't deal with Li Qi for the time being, so they stopped looking for his side. Rod Strickland dribbled the ball to the middle position and gave the ball to Gordon Girisek who got rid of Maggette's defense. The Croatian striker dribbled the ball and rushed to the basket. In the hands of Uncle Huo at the edge of the zone, it's a pity that Zhuwan Howard didn't score the ball.

But the rebound was grabbed by Andrew De Klerk, and the opponent put the ball into the basket with a hook. Compared with Milicic, his weight has an advantage, but he has no advantage in other aspects.

At 5:4, although McGrady didn't start, but the rest of the Magic played well. This guy was still staring at Li Qi with sleepy eyes. I have to say that he is serious about defending. It is not so easy for Li Qi to get rid of him. After all, this guy is not the existence in the historical space who was crippled by veterinarian Clayton and could only win [-] consecutive losses in the CBA. This period is the best period of his career, but that's all.

Li Qi knew where his advantages were, so he couldn't let McGrady come up, so he took the initiative to fight against him. McGrady was not his opponent in terms of strength, but he was not as good as him in terms of speed and wingspan.

It was a collision again. McGrady stood firmly this time and was not knocked away. Li Qi used a quick behind-the-scenes change of hand to overtake from the right.He blocked Li Qi's way, but Li Qi passed the ball in his creaking hole, and with a bang, Milicic dunked and scored. 7:4.
Li Qi could actually try to leap over Andrew De Klerk for a dunk, but it would be meaningless to do so. The opponent is not a superstar like O'Neal, but just a small guy, so there is no need to find any presence on the opponent.

Li Qi got an assist in this game. The Magic took advantage of the Blazers' delay in retreating, and McGrady rushed forward with the ball. It was really difficult to stop him sprinting with all his strength. Li Qi could only try to keep a parallel position with him.He made two free throws, but his outside teammate grabbed the rebound and passed it to him on the left. The man defending him was not Li Qi but Barry.

The Trail Blazers were obviously a bit chaotic, maybe because of the back-to-back relationship, they made mistakes again, McGrady continued to dunk in the frontcourt, 7:9, they achieved a lead, and the opponent's score was finally the same as Li Qi.

Li Qi didn't have any troubles in his heart, because McGrady is the current number one in the league scoring list. It is unrealistic to completely lock him up. Although he doesn't like this person, the opponent does have that strength. He didn't perform in the All-Star Game because Iverson had the ball in his hands, but the Magic is his team, and it is impossible for the ball to be with other people forever.

"Tracey broke out. These two attacks showed his super personal ability. How should Rich deal with it?"

Li Qi's coping method was still the same as before. He took the ball to the outside, gave the ball to Barry, and ran inside. McGrady didn't follow up at the first time. Barry saw Li Qi running in and chose to pass the ball, but Gordon Girisek's magic small forward was in front of him. It was too late for Ke to block, 9:9.
Li Qi scored his 7th point.Li Qi on the defensive end was still close to McGrady, and he would defend McGrady as much as the opponent defended him. Inside the left three-point line, McGrady couldn't get rid of Li Qi, so he had to ask center Andrew De Klerk to come out to cover him. 9:11.
His score also came to 7 points.Li Qi still didn't call it a cover, he just wanted to beat McGrady hard, because he wanted to see that he could deal with the opponent for a few rounds with pure personal ability, anyway, this was just a regular season.

McGrady's defense without the ball is not as strong as his defense with the ball. It has been confirmed in the last offense, so this time Li Qi went to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Milicic. Milicic was already in the penalty zone.

This ball fully demonstrated Milicic's basketball IQ and judgment of the situation. Li Qi didn't blame the opponent, as long as he could score.

The Magic's offense was still McGrady's strong attack this time, but unfortunately Milicic interfered and failed to score. The Blazers made a fast break.

Li Qichang passed to Maggette who ran to the frontcourt. The Blazers dunked at the third position and scored 13:11. The Blazers took the lead again.

However, Gordon Girisek still played very smartly. He used his running position and made an air cut to the basket to score points. 13:13.
The ball was passed by Huo Ershu. As a famous Mr. Billionaire in NBA history, Huo Ershu has the strength, but the injury and the upper limit make this contract seem worthless.

The two sides fought each other for more than three minutes, and finally called the first timeout. The reason why the Magic team's record is so bad is because they tend to collapse later. They can be said to be the best first quarter in the league. Later, it will become McGrady's one-man fight.

"Rich and Tracy are leading the team's offense in different ways. This game is much more anxious than expected."

After a timeout, Li Qi did not continue to pass to his teammates, because McGrady's defensive focus was declining, and he actually let Li Qi one step away. Li Qi did not shoot a three-pointer, but chose to break through from the right side. Use soft touch to drag the ball into the basket 15:13.
