Chapter 161

On the evening of January 2004, 1, at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, on the scoring machine, the first half ended with a score of 26 to 62.

Just looking at the score, the difference between the two teams is almost the same. The difference of only one goal can be evened out in an instant, or even surpassed.

Slowly walking towards the locker room, James had a bitter look on his face. Although his performance in the first half was not bad, he made 12 of 6 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, 1 of 1 free throws, and scored 14 points 2 efficiently. assists.

In the second half, as long as you take more shots and work hard, it is not impossible to score 30+, or even 30+10.

James' performance doesn't look bad, and this performance is the most unbearable to compare. When compared, James' performance pales.

Thinking of those lazy dead fish eyes, James couldn't get rid of them, and the nightmarish duel in his head.

In the first quarter, the two sides still played back and forth. Although McGrady made an amazing three-pointer, 4 of 4 shots, and the shooting rate was 100%. Fortunately, James scored 7 points and 2 assists, and McGrady scored 13 points. Compared with James, James scored less. However, the difference between the two is just the style of play.

McGrady is a pure scorer, and James can score and support the organization. Just by looking at the score at the beginning of the first quarter, you can know that the matchup between the two is evenly matched.

The situation on the field in the second quarter can be said to be a sudden change. McGrady continued to show off his power, how he played, 7 of 6 shots, 5 of 4 three-pointers, 6 of 5 free throws, 21 points in a single quarter and [-] points. God-like performance.

James, who is mainly defending McGrady, has no idea in his mind, which is obviously impossible.Although his performance was stable and he also scored 7 points in the second quarter, he still envied McGrady to block and kill God, and Buddha to block and kill Buddha, playing Lu Bu Zhan Sanying's heroic posture.

And McGrady has 34 points and 2 assists, which is twice as much as James' data.

Not to mention, in the last game, that is, 2 days ago, Iverson also had a magical performance of scoring 21 points in a single quarter.

Unexpectedly, in just 2 days, McGrady copied Iverson's miraculous performance, even more efficient and more terrifying!
What the hell are the four legendary shooting guards?Scoring so scary one by one?First Iverson, then Tracy McGrady, then Kobe and Carter below, is it more terrifying?
How can I get to that situation?

James couldn't figure it out, and there was no time for him to think. The second half of the game began, and the two sides changed sides to fight again.

The two sides are still playing with all their strength, replacing their starting five tigers, wanting to take the lead in the third quarter and seize the initiative of the game.

The Magic started with five players lined up: point guard Ty Lunlue, shooting guard Gordon Girisek, small forward Tracy McGrady, power forward Juwan Howard, and center Andrew Decker Luke.

The Cavaliers' starting five are point guard LeBron James, shooting guard Kedrick Brown, small forward Elke Williams, power forward Carlos Boozer, and center Zajunas Ivy. Ergoskas.

In the first half, the two sides played against each other, and the scene was open and closed, and both wanted to attack and win.

The gorgeous and wonderful feast of goals made the audience mesmerized and excited!

The third quarter started, and just when the fans thought they could see more exciting performances again, a fight broke out on the field.

After returning from the locker room, the smooth offense of the two teams was completely misfired, and the scene was very dull.

The Magic made 19 of 8 shots, and their 42% shooting rate was not bad. However, they were a team that floated outside to shoot, and their inside offense was poor, scoring only 17 points in a single quarter.

McGrady's performance was like fireworks blooming. After the blooming of the second quarter, his performance in the third quarter was eclipsed. He made 5 of 1 shots and only scored 2 points. What a shattered spectacle!

The performance of the Cavaliers was worse than that of the Magic. The shooting rate fell to freezing point, 19 of 4 shots, 21% shooting rate, fortunately, the inside attack was crushed, and they scored 9 free throws. However, they did not score many points, only 14. point.

James was thinking about life, and his performance was about equal to that of Tracy McGrady. He suffered the same misfortune. He made 4 of 1 shots and only scored [-] points.

The Magicwood team took advantage of the big score, 79 to 73, mainly against the guest, leading the Cavaliers by 6 points, and entered the final decisive battle of the fourth quarter.

Who would have thought that the bottom Magic team has been leading the way, and even saw the hope of an upset win.

You must know that the Magic's record is 13 wins and 33 losses, ranking last in the East, and they are all for the No. [-] pick.

Before the game, the media reporters directly sentenced the Magic to death. After all, the Cavaliers ranked No. But in a wave of winning streak, the state is not bad.

Unexpectedly, there is a possibility of capsizing in the gutter!

It's just that, looking at the recent trajectory of the Magic's losses and wins, it is not surprising.

In the past week, there has been a trend of winning one game and losing one game, but the Magic team lost in the last game. If we look at this trend, the Magic team is likely to grab an unexpected victory over the Cavaliers !

Fortunately, in the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers counterattacked bravely. They dared to fight hard on offense, made decisive shots, chased points strongly, and strengthened confrontation and pressure on defense, gradually pulling the score back.

Among them, Wagner, who played the sixth man from the outside, opened up his shots. He made 8 of 5 shots and 3 of 3 three-pointers. His brilliant performance of 13 points in a single quarter led the Cavaliers to play a wave and slowly reverse the wind direction of the game. return.

The Cavaliers have an advantage inside. Boozer performed steadily at the critical moment, but he scored 7 valuable points against Juwan Howard, who was average defensively. Very morale-boosting.

In the last 2 minutes of the fourth quarter, the score between the two sides was 94 to 93, and the Magic only led by 1 point.

Without hesitation, James dribbled the ball in the frontcourt, and directly chose to force McGrady in the middle. Relying on McGrady's body, he reached the three-point line.

Taking a step sideways, James unleashed his unique trick, the crab step, and aggressively rushed to the inside.

McGrady moved a step sideways, did not give an inch, and directly used his body to block, trying to block James' advance route.

One step from the free throw line, James flicked the ball, drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and made a small throw directly.

Although McGrady's first step is very fast, this kind of knight's archery throw, which pays attention to the rhythm and height of the shot, really can't interfere. We can only hope that the opponent's hit rate is not high.

With a bang, the basketball bounced out of the frame.

McGrady wanted to laugh, even though he was entangled by James in the fourth quarter and didn't score a point.

However, McGrady is not easy to deal with, and he also used his housekeeping skills to prevent James from getting a zero point.

come!

Hurt together, who is afraid of whom?

However, before McGrady's smile bloomed, he saw Boozer flying down like a magic soldier, and successfully dunked the basketball.

94 to 95! !
The Cavaliers achieved the final overtake!

It's not fair, McGrady is a little depressed, the game is too difficult to play without helpers!
As his teammates failed to make consecutive mid-range shots, McGrady had a wry smile on his face and could only swallow the bitter fruit of defeat.

Even though he had the upper hand in the matchup against James, and his statistics were better than the opponent's, but looking at the final score, he couldn't help but laugh.

At the end of the game, the Cavaliers narrowly beat the Magic by 99 point, 98 to 1.
