395. Miss the chicken mother (yesterday’s update 22)

The Nets have actually noticed this and have adjusted their defense specifically for this. However, the Trail Blazers also have Raheem who scored 10 points in a single quarter. Liu Xiu is a thief who can't stand it. He leads McGrady around without a chance.

, when the defense is changed, he immediately jumps out for singles...

Opportunities always come to those who are patient, and Liu Xiu seized the opportunity.

When McGrady played against Liu Xiu for the first time last season, he understood why Kobe and Carter mentioned Liu Xiu when they mentioned young players. The feeling of playing against Liu Xiu was so special. He also liked playing against Liu Xiu.

...But because of this, I can't stand Liu Xiu...it's sour!

After returning from the break, both teams made personnel adjustments.

The Trail Blazers sent out a combination of Flying Squirrel, Liu Xiu, Delfino, Varejao, and McDyess.

The Nets sent a combination of Travis Best, Zoran Planinic, Tracy McGrady, Clifford Robinson, and Mourning.

McGrady continued to fight! This surprised Liu Xiu and felt pressure at the same time.

But it’s also an opportunity!

Arriving on the court, Liu Xiu followed up with his defender.

Planinic was in the same class as Liu Xiu. He was born in the country called Yugoslavia at the end of the first round of the 2003 Golden Generation... He is 201 centimeters tall and weighs 88 kilograms. He has a cousin named Ivica Zubac.

The position information is PG/SF. Like James, such a player means he cannot be without the ball.

Best advanced to the frontcourt, Planinic ran to the top arc, Liu Xiu followed closely, and when Best passed the ball to Planinic, Liu Xiu jumped up with all his strength...

Just as Liu Xiu expected, a tall forward and guard swingman with fast feet, good breakthrough skills, no ability to move without the ball, and almost no mid-to-long-range shooting skills, and his free throw shooting rate is below 70%, must be taken over.

The one who hits the ball.

Steal!

It had to be the partner of Little Flying Squirrel. Planinic, the player who was intercepted, was still in a daze. Little Flying Squirrel reacted first, come on!

By the way, there was also McGrady on the flank, flying towards the little flying squirrel.

Liu Xiu lobbed the ball, and the little flying squirrel caught the ball during a fast break. Tracy McGrady followed closely... and caught up!

The little flying squirrel rushed all the way to the basket and out of bounds.

When McGrady saw this, he also rushed out, moving forward without looking back.

Sure enough, then there was the wail of the basket.

The little flying squirrel got into the basket and passed the ball back. Liu Xiu followed up on the wing and caught the ball for a tomahawk dunk!

The fans at the scene wanted to burst into tears!

finally!

Facing an empty basket, Liu Xiu was finally willing to dunk!

32 to 29, the Trail Blazers lead by 3 points!

McGrady felt the pressure.

It wasn't because of the 3-point difference, but because he understood Liu Xiu's intention.

The Nets resumed their attack. After Liu Xiu made a sneak attack, he now directly followed Planinic to pass the ball in front of the defense without concealing his purpose.

Best protected the ball in the face of the harassment of Little Flying Squirrel. Both of them were players in the 1995 class, and both were small guards. There must be huge differences. The Little Flying Squirrel who played against Best was considered to be the top talent at any time. Little Flying Squirrel

Still flying now, Best has reached the end of his career.

When Best first entered the NBA, he was also an extremely fast small guard. He was 180 centimeters tall and relied on breakthroughs and scoring. But now he is a veteran who relies on long two-point catch-and-shoot with a 44% shooting rate. Of course, his speed is also now

It's not particularly slow, so the defense is still on line, but the offense is really unable to break out.

Tracy McGrady came to the rescue and rescued the embarrassed Best and Planinic who was knocked around by Liu Xiu.

Facing Delfino's defense, McGrady made a three-pointer...and hit it again!

19 points!

32 square meters!

I said it’s not about the three-point difference!

The problem is physical exhaustion. After playing the first quarter, he continued to play in the second quarter. He needs to paddle on the offensive end and be more responsible for receiving shots and acting as a containment point.

As for Richard Jefferson, he needs to adjust his emotions first. What was the three-pointer thrown by Liu Xiu when he received the ball in the last attack of the first quarter... The main reason is that their Nets team is a very special team.

Team.

Their team's lineup is very deep, with a variety of functional players with different characteristics, and they are quite high-quality.

But there are too few core players. Clifford Robinson and Best Sr., Planinic and Jacqui Vaughn are weak. Kidd is not playing, and the team's offense is really not very good. It only relies on pure running tactics.

.

However, even so, with McGrady's isolation and distribution, coupled with such a good lineup of role players, and Richard Jefferson, a top off-ball scorer who averages 20+ per game, the strength of a first-class strong team is there.

When he breaks out, he can hit the Spurs.

If Kidd can't play and McGrady can't play, the strength of the team led by Richard Jefferson can compete with the Australian team competing with White Duncan.

So tonight Nets coach Frank can only ask McGrady to play more.

Ever since, Liu Xiu was given the opportunity to continue to implement the attrition strategy. This was a conspiracy, and McGrady could see what Liu Xiu's purpose was at a glance.

But, he doesn’t have a headache because of this, he is very good at accepting such things...

When Liu Xiu ran to the frontcourt with anticipation, it was McGrady who was guarding him!

The corner of his mouth twitched, and Liu Xiu continued to run with Maddie.

The little flying squirrel is holding the ball, and his heart is flying.

BGM seemed to be playing at this moment - wild waves are an attitude, wild waves are unrestrained...

The Nets used Best to defend the Flying Squirrel, which was a good choice. Best defended very well, following the Flying Squirrel's retreat, forcing the Flying Squirrel to retreat and shoot a jumper...but it went in!

The little flying squirrel flew back to the backcourt with its arms waving and pouting, causing bursts of cheers from the audience!

Best's long two-point field goal percentage after catching the ball is as high as 44%, and the Flying Squirrel's long two-point field goal percentage in singles is also at the same level!

During the transition between offense and defense, McGrady received a pass from Best and then broke through Delfino. After attracting Liu Xiu's attack, McGrady rushed to the baseline and distributed the ball...Planinic followed up and hit the European step for a layup.

McGrady and Planinic high-fived to celebrate the quick retreat.

In the transition between offense and defense, the little flying squirrel continued to play singles with the ball, taking tentative steps, starting and stopping suddenly, taking a sideways step to shake Best, creating a perfect opportunity, and then shot two points later... It's iron!

Mourning blocked the rushing Varejao, but Liu Xiu slipped into the basket from the wing, was very fast, grabbed the rebound before Clifford Robinson, took off, and made a pull-bar throw!

15 points and 4 boards!

Liu Xiu scored again, McGrady missed her mother.

Kidd said, "Leave everything to me except scoring," and he really did it. He can really do everything except scoring!

If Kidd had been here, Liu Xiu would not have been able to grab the offensive rebound from the wing so easily.

The situation is a bit dangerous. The opponent's three main players, Raheem, Outlaw, and Kwame Brown, are all resting. The Nets now feel a bit unbeatable.

But McGrady's style of play did not change. After two rounds, McGrady took a break and let the two veterans Best and Clifford Robinson start a pick-and-roll attack.

There was not enough threat, and the pick-and-roll between the two failed to tear down the Trail Blazers' defense. Mourning's baseline pass was blocked by McDyess, and Liu Xiu, who was actively shrinking, grabbed the ball and it was a rebound.

When the Trail Blazers attacked, the pressure really came to the Nets and McGrady. However, McGrady still chose to defend Liu Xiu.

Change personal defense to reduce physical exertion and consider continuity?

Maddie doesn’t!

He no longer wants to think about so many troublesome things. He has learned a lot in the past few seasons with the Magic.

If he encounters the current situation, if he considers everything and wants to do everything well, he will probably not be able to do anything well in the end. He has personally verified that if it doesn't work, it just won't work. He is not Kidd.

Just do what you are best at and what you think is most necessary, and leave the rest to your teammates. If it works, it will be fine, and if it doesn’t work, you will be pushed back. Last year, you were ranked last in the league and won the No. 1 pick. Are you still afraid of losing...

McGrady follows his heart, and the same goes for his performance on the court. He defends when it's time to defend, and attacks when it's time for him to attack.

Being able to choose the style of play he wants represents his strong personal ability.

Not to mention, when McGrady played like this, the Nets really tightened the score when their two top scorers, Richard Jefferson and Kostic, were resting!

In fact, McGrady only scored 5 points in the first half of the second quarter. The three-pointer at the beginning and the jump layup later were mainly due to his threat. After the jump layup, he was already 21

points, the half is not over yet!

Relying on this threat, McGrady scored the ball in isolation, or stood at his good shooting spot to contain the defense and create better scoring opportunities for his teammates... He scored 5 points and 2 assists, helping the Nets win in the first half of the second quarter.

to 13 minutes.

At the official timeout in the second quarter, the score was 42 to 46, and the Nets were only 4 points behind the Trail Blazers!

…

Entering the official timeout, McGrady made 8 of 14 shots, including 3 of 5 three-pointers, plus 2 of 2 free throws. McGrady had already scored 21 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists!

The little flying squirrel and Liu Xiu fought very hard - this was their advantageous time! They both dealt with Tracy McGrady together, but they still didn't take advantage; but they fought very excitedly - too strong! This opponent is really

It's so strong! There is no pressure on Little Flying Squirrel, he just goes up and does it. Liu Xiu enjoys this kind of competition very much. The pressure makes him have to focus and seize every opportunity with all his strength, pushing him to improve.

McGrady scored the highest score of the game with 21 points, but Liu Xiu took advantage of the loopholes in the Nets' wing defense and scored 17 points!

At the stage when there was a lineup advantage, the score could not be opened. It can only be said that McGrady is awesome, but at least he has a 4-point lead, at least he has not been overtaken... It is already much better than the Wizards a few days ago! Compare it,

This is where the sense of superiority comes in.

After the official timeout, the Trail Blazers sent out their three frontcourt players of Outlaws, Raheem, and Kwame Brown, and the back line of Liu Xiu and Little Flying Squirrel continued to play.

The Nets also returned to the three frontcourts that performed best tonight - Richard Jefferson, Jason Collins, Kostic, Best and Tracy McGrady to continue to partner in the backcourt.

The Nets have the ball and serve from the center line to start the offense.
Chapter completed!
