Chapter 24 Best Defensive Player Tracy
The game continued to resume, and the king still cooperated with passing and cutting, and Webb got the chance to make a call.

His shot near the penalty area was seriously interfered by Yao Ming, and the ball slammed twice on the rim and fell to Scott Padgett.

Padgett knew that his passing ability was not good, so he immediately gave the ball to David Wesley. Seeing that he was late, Wesley had already run halfway, and a strong long pass instigated a counterattack.

He was late and caught the ball at a 45-degree position two steps outside the left three-point line of the king. He looked back at Mobley who was chasing him, opened his hand and shot again, and scored again!

The Rockets are only 8 points behind!

In just five rounds, the Rockets closed the seemingly insurmountable point difference between the two sides.

Several consecutive three-pointers also completely ignited the enthusiasm of the fans on the scene, and the fans in the audience shouted their late names neatly.

Yao Ming was so excited that he yelled loudly, rushed forward and clapped late hard.

"Really, this is the first time I have seen such an exciting three-pointer. The late three-pointer is not only soft, but also tough!" Charles Barkley did not hesitate to praise himself in the studio.

This person is too arrogant. So far, no one in the entire league has used the logo three-pointer as a regular scoring method.

The late consecutive three-point bombing hit the morale of the Kings players, and the attack could not be completed. Mike Bibby made a breakthrough and missed the ball, and directly handed over the ball.

The Kings players didn't even dare to delay at all, and hurriedly turned around and ran, directly launching a defensive posture in their own half.

Veteran David Wesley saw that there was no chance to counterattack, and slowly advanced to the Kings half. The ball was handed over several times, and it was given to power forward Scott Padgett.

Padgett performed very well in this game, but he was just a substitute after all. The Kings were very afraid of being late, so they ignored his defense.

Padgett got an open shot from the bottom corner, and he even had time to aim at the basket, and easily completed a three-point jumper, and the point difference was only 5 points!

In just over 3 minutes, the Rockets' offense was invincible, and they chased for 13 points in a wave!
The king's offensive system is completely out of order. Brad Miller is eager to open the score, and he makes a hasty shot from the inside, and hits another iron!
Yao Ming grabbed the rebound and countered with a pass.

In fact, the speed of these few players on the Rockets field is not fast. Veteran Jumbari is about to retire. He was almost completely invisible in the wave of offensive climax just now, and his role on the court is almost equal to zero.

But being late and young, coupled with the fact that the king's main players have been fighting for too long, and their physical exertion is too great, at this time they have no advantage in speed.

He received the ball late and took it to the Kings' half court. The old cat Mobley immediately pounced on him. Matt Barnes was also scared by the late shot, so he came up with Mobley tacitly to press down.

Facing a double team, will he pass the ball late?
Of course not!
He almost didn't jump at all, and completed the shot as soon as he raised his hand. The defensive Mobley and Barnes couldn't even interfere with his shot.

The basketball draws a high arc on the court and gets into the net again.

104:102，火箭只落后2分了！比赛时间还很充足，剩下3:46。

This is a rare fast-paced offense for the Rockets. Relying on the late and abnormally accurate three-pointer, the Rockets did not spend more than ten seconds on many counterattacks.

Adelman scratched his head anxiously on the sidelines, but he couldn't think of a way to limit his lateness. Could it be that he directly double-teamed him without the ball, so that he couldn't get the ball at all?
But Yao Ming is still there!

If he really dared to double-team the late player without the ball, then Yao Ming would really be killed.

McGrady is in a bad state today, but he is a two-time scoring champion after all. No one dares to underestimate his scoring ability, and no one knows when he will explode.

Adelman was full of concerns, and called a timeout again, first to adjust the mentality of the players, and second, to interrupt the fiery feeling of being late.

Van Gundy made a foolish move. After the timeout ended, he sent McGrady, who had been on the bench for a few minutes, to the field. Veteran Juan Barry couldn't run anymore.

When the game started again, Mobley was no longer involved in the offense at all, and he would stay with Late every step of the way. As long as it was the Rockets' offensive stage, he would actively go around and try to prevent Late from receiving the ball at all.

The best defensive player of the game appeared, not Mobley, but two-time scoring champion Tracy McGrady.

When he played again, he seemed to be eager to prove his strength, and he rushed to the king's inside line with the ball!
The Kings sent Mobley to defend late and other players to defend the zone. Originally, they planned to try their best to double-team Yao Ming, but they didn't expect McGrady to stand up at this time.

As we all know, the best way to break the zone defense is to have a sharpshooter on the outside, and the Rockets have it!You can also choose to break through.

But the king had been prepared for a long time, so McGrady rushed near the free throw line and was instantly surrounded by a group of strong men.

Faced with the chaotic situation of men on the inside and men on the inside, McGrady knows the man and goes up and throws in the three-second zone.

He was not in a good state today, not to mention using the throw that he is least good at, so it is naturally impossible to score this ball.

Yao Ming was stuck in the paint, but he was a man on the left and right, and finally failed to grab this offensive rebound.

The Kings attack, this time finally opened the door, and the inside and outside lines pulled the conduction many times. Weber caused Padgett to foul and made two free throws.

The Rockets kicked off, and Yao Ming served McGrady from the baseline - not because he didn't know that McGrady played badly today, and he seemed to be on the edge of a corner, but because he was late and dribbled the ball a little bit reluctantly, Wesley was out of breath and didn't have much energy , the only one who can catch the ball is McGrady.

A good Tracy McGrady, I saw him catch the ball and rushed across the half court like the wind, and did not wait for Yao Ming to settle down, and once again forced the Kings inside.

Mistake +1!

Mike Bibby made a steal, and then launched an offensive. At this time, Yao Ming had just passed halftime, so he had to turn back immediately.

The Kings played 4 on 3 in the half, and Brad Miller hit a mid-range jumper.

At 108:102, the score was stretched to six points again, with 2:30 remaining.

The Rockets attacked again, and McGrady caught the ball and made adjustments. This time he did not choose to make a strong attack, but suddenly shot from outside the three-point line.

He jumps high, the camera can see his heels are almost as high as the knees of Barnes who defends him, and he has amazing hang time, plenty of adjustments in the air, and the ball does not arc too much after the release. .

Nice pull-up three.

But not in!

The defensive rebound was easily taken off by Weber, the ball was passed to Mike Bibby, and the Kings began to consciously press the attack time.

TNT commentator Charles Barkley spouted: "There is no doubt that Tracy McGrady is the real cancer today. His mentality is too impatient. Knowing that he is not in good condition today and feels bad, he still chooses forcibly. The shot hurt the team greatly. The Rockets saw that they might reverse the score, because his random shot was going to be lost!"

Kenny Smith defended: "In my opinion, this is also understandable. Since joining the team late, his scoring efficiency has been amazing. Some fans on the Internet even think that he should be the outside core of the Rockets. McGrady definitely I don’t want to be compared to a non-draft rookie, so I’m naturally eager to prove my strength.”

"Ha! Ha!" Charles Barkley sneered disdainfully, "His scoring efficiency cannot exceed that of being late. I think the most important thing for the Rockets to do now is to replace him."

Barkley's words were fierce, but the fans watching TV didn't care about them. It was because Barkley dared to say anything that he could attract the attention of fans.

The King pressed the time to the last 2 seconds, and Mike Bibby made a three-pointer from the outside, hitting the iron +1.
Yao Ming got stuck, McGrady returned to the penalty area and grabbed a defensive rebound.

The king quickly retreated and settled down to defend.

McGrady pushed forward again, hitting a three-pointer against Barnes' jumper.

With only 1:04 left, it can basically be declared that the game is over.

The Kings continued to press the attack time, Webber hit the iron with a high jumper, and McGrady entered the penalty area again to grab a rebound.

But this time Yao Ming didn't give it. He tiptoed, took off the rebound, and threw it directly to Late.

At the same time, Yao Ming's angry voice sounded: "It's so small, vote!"

He was late and still standing at the logo of his own half. He was actually suffocating with anger, and finally got close to the score. As soon as McGrady came up, he hit three shots in a row. , Anyone who changes it will be angry.

There was no defense around him, he jumped up late, pushed the ball with one hand, and scored a three-pointer with the logo in the second half!Go in!
Steve Kerr said that he couldn't believe it at all: "It's unbelievable, it's really unbelievable, Late is probably the most powerful shooter ever, and he was able to accurately hit a three-pointer with his own logo? I don't know if you still remember , he played for the first time against the Lakers, and he also hit a three-pointer in his own half. I suspect that the late shot almost covered the entire field. This is really unimaginable. Is he really human? Projection practiced to such an extent?"

As one of the greatest shooters of all time, Steve Kerr knew that the difficulty of shooting from beyond the three-point line was multiplied with each increase in distance.

The Kings players were also stunned. Seeing that the score between the two sides was only 3 points, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Is that guy across the street a monster?Can it be thrown so far?Is it necessary to arrange someone to mark him all over the court in the future?
At 108:105, there are 36 seconds left in the clock. If the King's ball can be defended, the Rockets still have a chance to tie the game.

The Kings resolutely pressed the offensive rhythm, and Chris Webber even started to wander outside the three-point line.

Mobley still didn't dare to participate in the offense. The three-pointer in his own half just now scared him.

With 13 seconds left in the game, Webber made a buzzer shot from outside the three-point line and hit a precious three-pointer.

At the end of the game, the Kings defeated the Rockets 111:105.

This is also the first time that he has lost a game that he has participated in lately.

He seemed a little dazed, or maybe he wasn't quite used to this losing atmosphere.

The other players of the Rockets also seemed very silent, and everyone knew the reason for today's loss.

There has already been a quarrel on the Internet. Some netizens commented on the Internet: "I think the best defensive player today is Tracy McGrady, because he defended 14 of 10 and scored 33 points late."
