Chapter 80 Christmas War ([-])

"Shu~"

The white net flowers splashed, and the basketball spun around the hoop before falling into the hoop.

While beating Rod Strickland forcibly, causing a foul by the opponent's thug, James' strong body was undoubtedly revealed. He directly carried the opponent's body, displayed horseback archery, and used a small throw to accurately send the basketball into the basket in the basket.

A 2-point goal counts, plus a free throw for a thug foul.

James clenched his fists to celebrate, and after high-fiving his teammates, he walked to the free throw line, patted the basketball, and made a steady free throw to score 2+1.

66 to 64! !
The exchange of positions between James and Lin Bai made Rod Strickland, who is of average defensive ability, suffer a lot on the defensive end, but there is nothing he can do about it.

Rod Strickland entered the NBA in 1988. He was originally not good at defense. Although his style of play is gorgeous, he is extremely strong in singles, especially in assists. He is a strong offensive and defensive player.

In Lin Bai's previous life, Kyrie Irving's gorgeous singles skills were trained by Rod Strickland, and his draft template was Rod Strickland, and he was even called the godfather.

Now approaching the age of retirement, Rod Strickland has no speed, no physical strength, only consciousness and experience left, and he can only be beaten by James and Lin Bai.

Rod Strickland was targeted, and the Magic had little to do. With McBian and Hill in the backcourt, the Magic didn't have many substitute players, except for the 38-year-old veteran Rod Sterry. Crane, the only one who can fight is Lu Tailun.

Lu Tailun is only 183cm tall. This height is a natural misplacement. Facing James' height of 203cm, if he is replaced, he will be targeted.

One old and one short, strong offensive and weak defensively, the Magic can only fight back and beat their opponents with more firepower in the offensive.

Rod Strickland dribbled the ball across the half, passed the ball to McGrady in the middle, received the ball and faced James' defense.

He lifted the ball over the top and made a fake shot. McGrady's shot was very realistic. James stepped forward, stretched out his hand to block the ball, and lost his position without shaking.

McGrady suddenly accelerated, using the extremely fast first step, relying on James, forced to break into the inside line, attracting Kapono's supplementary defense, McGrady jumped up and passed the ball to the outside of the three-point line.

Outside the three-point line on the left, Gordon Girisek received the ball and shot a three-point jumper directly. The jump was extremely fast, the shot was crisp and neat, the body was stretched in the air, and the shooting action was very standard.

The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air, with a clear and crisp sound of scraping the net, the basketball fell to the basket with precision, and hit a three-pointer steadily.

66 to 67! !
The Magic immediately retaliated. Gordon Girisek used a beautiful and precise three-pointer to tell the Cavaliers that the Magic's offensive firepower is not only McGrady.

Barkley's eyes sparkled, and he smiled and said, "The Cavaliers' rookie Kapono actually let Gordon Girisek go. I really don't know how he got into the starting list? Doesn't he know that Gordon is There is a good pull-up jumper that is good at it, and it can even be called a work of art.

Open three-pointers are simply out of pocket, and Gordon can even shoot millimeter-accurate three-pointers over the defender's head. "

Gordon Girisek participated in the NBA Draft in 1999. He was selected by the Dallas Mavericks with the No.11 pick in the second round. He is 198cm tall and weighs 48KG. .

He only logged into the NBA in 2002. Due to the unfamiliarity of his opponents, he unceremoniously scored 29 points in his first show. He played 26 minutes in his rookie season and averaged 11.4 points and 4.0 assists per game. He performed well.

This season, after joining the Magic, his playing time has increased. Currently, he can average 16.5 points and 5.4 assists per game. He is in a hot state. It is obviously not a good choice to let him go.

The Cavaliers attacked, James dribbled the ball across the half court, slowly organized the frontcourt, and gave the lob to Ilgauskas inside, Gooden and Gordon Girisek played against Ilgauskas who was holding the ball Flanking, attempting to make a tackle.

The ball was given to Kapono on the perimeter of the three-pointer. Gordon Girisek had a good speed, quickly completed the defense, and did not miss the opponent.

James responded in the frontcourt, screened with Kapono in a pick-and-roll, got rid of McGrady's defense, and handed over Kapono's points.

Outside the 60-degree three-point line on the left side, when receiving the ball, James feinted, held the ball against Gordon Girisek's body, and directly forced a breakthrough to the left, using his strong body to knock Gordon Girisek away Ke's defense made his defensive center of gravity shift, and then, cross dribbled to the right, performed a crab step, and domineering to the right, entered the penalty area.

Crossing the free throw line in two steps and jumping up, Ilgauskas cleverly blocked Gooden who wanted to be defended, ignoring Juwan Howard who rushed to block the shot.

Jumping up, his head was almost flat, his body was very stretched in the air, and he slammed the basketball into the basket with one hand.

Tomahawk split dunk scored, 68 to 67!

Offensive and defensive transitions, McGrady's frontcourt organization, successive singles success, James slowly found the rhythm of defense, did not hesitate, and did not allow McGrady to easily find a breakthrough space. As for the pull-up jumper, he can only interfere as much as possible. , he has nothing to withdraw.

At the left three-point corner, Gordon Girisek suddenly made an air cut to the basket. Kapono did not dare to let go after suffering a loss and followed closely.

Gordon Girisek made a reverse run and turned around and went out. Gordon knew how to use the body wall to block Kapono's return route.

McGrady immediately sent the ball out. At the bottom of 65 on the left, Gordon Girisek received the ball and faced the frame. He raised his hand and was about to shoot. Ilgauskas rushed out to defend.

Gordon Girisek clicked, holding the ball to the right and rushing into the inside line, facing James' defense, he directly pulled the ball for a layup, took a bow and shot an arrow, and quickly threw the basketball to the basket, giving people a shot Hasty, the illusion of shooting without even aiming.

The rhythm of the shot was very fast. When James' hands were sealed to his face, the basketball had already flown to the basket.

With a clear sound,
The basketball fell into the basket precisely as if it had eyes.

Is this a balloon?
James turned around and looked back. The basketball fell from the basket. He couldn't believe it, because Gordon Girisek shot too fast, and the moment he jumped up, he directly forcibly threw the basketball.

Barkley had an incredulous expression on his face, and said loudly: "Gordon's touch and luck on this ball are also great. After almost jumping up, he shot like lightning, shot unexpectedly, and the rhythm was extremely fast. , In the end, it was actually a precise hit? Is it possible to do whatever you want because you are handsome?"

Kenny Smith shook his head, and said in admiration: "Gordon is a natural scorer, his touch is very delicate, and his off-ball running skills are also very superb. In addition, he is not the pure hand of the European player Peja." The shooting and offensive skills with the ball are extremely outstanding, and it is easy and freehand to pass people.

Unexpected take-offs and lightning-fast jump shots are his special skills. Although his confrontation and defense are not outstanding, his offensive ability alone can gain a foothold in the NBA. I am very optimistic about this player! ! "

The Magic will once again overtake the score. 68 to 69! !
Under McGrady's continuous firepower output, Gooden, Juwan Howard, and Gordon Girisek stood up from time to time and fired cold shots, which made the Magic's offensive firepower continuous and very sharp, and the offensive was very impressive.

Fortunately, the core player of the Cavaliers, James, also performed very well. He can rush, shoot, and assist. After going through the needle, the Cavaliers' offensive firepower is also very good, and the two sides played very anxiously.

In addition to James' reliable offensive firepower, Lin Bai also stood up and provided assistance outside the three-point line.

In the 6th minute of the third quarter, James organized an offense in the frontcourt and failed to find a good opportunity.

Lin Bai was closely marked by Rod Strickland, and it was not easy to cooperate with Boozer's side screen.

Suddenly, Lin Baikong cuts to the basket and makes a back run...
