God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 53 A Blockbuster

"Coach, let me lead the bench lineup!" McGrady objected just after Rappers assigned the two opposing teams in the team, and Chang Wei laughed secretly. This kid must have been holding back for the past three days.

But Rappers didn't think so. He thought he heard it wrong, and asked in a very suspicious tone: "Tracey, are you sure you want to play with a substitute lineup? If you don’t, you will be replaced by Celestand, the team’s best sixth man. Do you think you can still win this match?”

McGrady said firmly: "Yes, I'm sure, otherwise how can I reflect the results of my three-day special training?"

Seeing that McGrady didn't hit the south wall and didn't look back, Rappers was angry and funny. This kid is so arrogant that there is no limit, let him suffer a big loss!He said lightly: "Since you insist, then so be it!"

McGrady quickly changed into the black training uniform representing the substitute, and nodded to several substitute players on the same team as him.Although the new season has not officially started yet, after this period of training, everyone is familiar with it. Of course, McGrady knows that the players he is partnering with are the best players in the substitute lineup, but their strength is obviously not as good as the main players. .

However, McGrady didn't care. He took this situation into consideration when he raised his objection. In his opinion, if his teammates are too strong, how can he bring out his brilliance?

The intra-team match is actually a little looser than the official game, and there is no jump ball.Out of care for the bench lineup, Rappers directly let the backup center Ogles serve from the bottom line, and the backup point guard Ma Danli sensiblely did not stay in the backcourt to catch the ball, and directly gave McGrady the opportunity to control the ball. complete in one step.

Tracy McGrady, who led the bench, played at the small forward position, which meant that he had to directly face Battier, the team's number one perimeter defender.McGrady has to admit that this gentlemanly guy is really strong in defense. He has experienced it in previous training, but this time he doesn't believe that he will be defended.

McGrady came to the top of the arc with the ball, commanding his teammates to move while observing the situation on the field, while Battier stared at him with piercing eyes, ready to make a steal at any time.The two backup guards, Madanley and Lynch, were located in the two bottom corners. Augles was about to come up to do the pick-and-roll. McGrady waved his hand, signaling him to wait for an opportunity to create opportunities for the guards to open the back door.

That's right, he wants to break through Battier's defense directly.

Taking a half step back a little later, McGrady's eyes were fixed, and he took the first step like lightning, rushing past Battier like a gust of wind, and the latter didn't react at all.Chang Wei almost shouted applause from the sidelines. The start of this breakthrough made him vaguely see McGrady at the peak of his previous life. Now some prototypes have been exposed.

McGrady's breakthrough did not encounter any obstacles. Allen had been pulled to a position close to the bottom corner by Ogles, and he was desperately returning to defense. There was only Brand under the basket.For McGrady, Brand is no threat at all. The latter is a short power forward, and his height does not have much advantage. McGrady intends to play this round by himself.

But Brand is not an idiot either, he raised his hands high to limit McGrady's shooting space to the greatest extent, and by the way, let his movement speed drop down.McGrady hesitated for a while, and Allen had already returned to the defense. Chang Wei slapped his thigh in frustration. He was still praising McGrady in his heart just now. Now it seems that he is still very young. Such an opportunity can't send the ball in. basket!

Seeing that he was about to fall into a double-team, McGrady half-turned and passed the ball from Allen's armpit in the direction of the bottom corner.And Lynch, who was in the corner on the strong side, had already thrown Celestand away with Ogleth's off-ball pick-and-roll, received the ball on the edge of the three-second zone, made a light and small throw, and the basketball "swished" A hollow sound into the frame.

The players on the bench had quickly returned to defense, but Brand and Allen, who were just about to pinch McGrady, were still standing there in a daze. They didn't see how McGrady passed the ball.But in any case, McGrady helped his teammates score the ball, which means that his choice in this offensive round is no problem.

Yet here's what surprised them.Before changing to three days, McGrady's ending in this round was probably a mistake and lost the ball. Even if he passed the ball, there was a high possibility of making a mistake, but this time he successfully passed the ball to his teammates, and even when passing the ball. Isn't that surprising enough that the line of sight has been blocked?
In the following time, watching McGrady's reborn performance, Rappers' jaw almost fell to the ground. Is this still the previous McGrady?He couldn't help but took a deep look at Chang Wei. This guy's nickname of the Eastern Magician was really correct. He almost thought that Chang Wei found a super point guard from somewhere and dressed him up like McGrady.

Although the defense of the substitute team can't stop the main team at all, this is what Rappers expected from the beginning. He doesn't care about the scores of the two sides, and only cares about the actual performance of McGrady and Brand.Originally, Rappers hoped to let Brand play the center forward just because this tactic is relatively simple, and McGrady's previous performance really disappointed him.

But looking at it now, he discovered the advantages of the forward tactics. McGrady's independent offensive ability is much stronger than Brand's.If his teammates don't run out of space, Brand can only shoot directly near the free throw line, so the shooting rate is not high, and it is easy to be interfered by opponents.On the other hand, McGrady can attract the defense by holding the ball and breaking through, creating opportunities for teammates to catch and shoot. No matter how bad he is, he can also score in singles, so that the team's offense will not stagnate.

Under the command of Tracy McGrady, the substitute team played smoothly. Although they couldn't stop the main team's attack, the main team couldn't stop them either.Since Rappers has already specified the tactics of both sides, there is no need to call a timeout, but a 10-minute break every 2 minutes to allow the players to recover their physical strength.

The game ended after 40 minutes. Looking at the statistics of both sides, Rappers was stunned. McGrady scored 27 points and 12 assists, and also helped the substitute team get 78 points.Although the score of the main team is higher, this is not what Rappers is concerned about. There is only one sentence in his mind: "This guy... actually fulfilled Chang's perverted request!"

Obviously, the candidates for the core playmaker of the Villanova University Wildcats for the new season are already on the horizon.
