The Godfather of Basketball

Teague's throw shot scored, and the Eagles were in a good state on the offensive end tonight. Although it seemed that the situation was suppressed, the score was still 5-5.

The Nets continued to play Jokic in the frontcourt. At this time, Carroll took the initiative to shrink to the inside. If Jokic continued to play like this, not to mention the scene, he would lose too much morale.

Jokic saw Carroll coming, and when he turned around, he flicked the ball to the outside.

The Serbian guy is amazing!

The ball went right into Bojan Bogdanovic's hands, and he got a nice open 3-pointer.

He catches the ball completely instinctively.

"Shua!"

Hands up and down, the three-pointer is also a steady hit.

After more than two games in the game, it was the first time he had such a good three-point opportunity, and he seized it immediately.

Tang Tian smiled when he saw this, Bo Yang's three-pointer is still very important, so the Eagles must have concerns when they double-team the basket.

The game is still going on. Although Antić has been strong until more than five minutes before being dismissed, but after the defensive end has concerns and does not dare to increase the intensity, the effect of his presence on the field is incomparable with the previous two games. The Nets' strategy worked. up.

More than 10 minutes into the first quarter, the Nets established a 6-point lead 22 to 16.

The two sides entered the substitute rotation one after another.

For the Eagles, Schroeder, Bazemore, Millsap, and Mark Muscala appeared one after another.

For the Nets, Livingston, Barton, Joe Johnson, and Pralim also appeared on the stage. However, unlike the previous two games, the Nets used a 10-man rotation, and the 10th man also made the appearance. To their surprise, it was McGrady!

Seeing McGrady's appearance, the fans on the scene were stunned for a moment, and then there was a burst of cheers and whistles.

How many years have they not seen McGrady appear on the stage of the playoffs again!

Even many fans in front of the TV were stunned. McGrady is still in the league?

In the offensive round of the Nets, Livingston dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and McGrady leaned on Bazemore on the right wing to ask for the ball.

Livingston gave the ball in, and he held the ball high with one hand. This long-lost scene has already made many spectators climax.

McGrady took the ball and glanced at the defense, then turned to face Bazemore, and suddenly started to accelerate and rush in.

This is really playing!

Bazemore was a little slow to react. His ability to defend McGrady is not a big problem, but the key is psychological. After all, the opponent is McGrady, a player at the same level as Kobe, and it is a bit late to react.

However, the Hawks' team basketball is excellent, and Carroll on the weak side has quickly helped defend.

McGrady made a direct pass to the weak side, Joe Johnson caught the ball and sprinted to the basket to put the ball in.

24 to 16.

McGrady contributed an assist when he came up.

Budenholzer cursed angrily on the sidelines.

In the Eagles' offense, Millsap hit Joe Johnson with a low back, turned around and squeezed past him, and then shot. Grab the position and point the ball into the basket.

Going around, the first player Tang Tian trained finally came to the Eagles. The difference was that he was obviously stronger than in his previous life.

Livingston advanced to the frontcourt and gave the ball to McGrady.

The fans at the scene were all excited.

This really takes McGrady as the main attack point.

Bazemore was scolded by Budenholzer for a while, and at this moment the psychological burden was gone, and he tried his best to support McGrady, but McGrady's turning back was disturbed and missed.

There was a scramble for the basket, and the rebound was finally picked off by Millsap.

There was a commotion at the scene, after all, McGrady was gone forever.

On the offensive end, Schroeder took the initiative to find Carroll for a pick-and-roll, misplaced and directly hit McGrady.

Compared with Bazemore, Schroeder's character is obviously more aggressive, and he doesn't care who is McGrady or who is opposite.

However, Schroeder obviously underestimated McGrady a little bit. He suddenly stopped inside and shot without completely shaking off McGrady.

McGrady reached out and clicked his shot, and directly rewarded him with a hot pot.

Although the pace has slowed down, the best talent in history, wingspan and jumping, is not so easy to lose.

There was another round of cheers.

Rogers said McGrady was ready before, and it seemed that he was really ready.

Schroeder turned around to get the ball back, then looked at McGrady and went up again, but failed to score under interference, and the rebound was caught by McGrady.

Livingston advanced to the frontcourt. McGrady did not ask for a position at this time. Instead, he played an off-ball pick-and-roll with Pralim.

This is a very good shot, and McGrady has made at least a thousand shots like this in the past games.

Both Muscala and the squeezed Bazemore tried their best to interfere, but at this moment, McGrady passed the ball to the basket in the air.

Pralim seemed to be prepared. After catching the ball, he took a step, followed by a violent abuse of the frame.

"Boom!"

With a powerful slam dunk, the entire Barclays Center was instantly ignited.

This pass is beautiful, and the dunk is also beautiful!

McGrady's scoring hasn't opened yet, but he has already sent two assists in a row!

And these two assists also brought the Nets' lead to double digits!

With Bazemore's rush shot at the last moment, he missed a three-pointer.

At the end of the first quarter, the Nets lead their opponents 26 to 16, and the point difference in a single quarter is also the largest in three games.

"Good job." When McGrady left the field, Tang Tian reached out to give him a high five.

When McGrady returned to Tang Tian's side, his physical health had recovered by seven or eighty-eight, but because of the long absence from the battle, coupled with his age, the recovery process was long. Compared with the peak period, McGrady at this time, At most, it is 60% recovery, maybe less than that.

So it is a bit unrealistic to expect him to score points violently. On the contrary, as he arranged before the game, to contain the defense and send assists is his better way of playing now.

Back in the second quarter, Tang Tian still put McGrady on the court, and McGrady's performance was still remarkable.

Although he didn't send out assists as frequently as in the first quarter, his running and holding the ball on the field is an offensive threat in itself.

The two sides stalemate at the beginning of this quarter.

This stalemate also allowed the Nets to finally maintain a 10-point lead to the midfield.

In the second half, Jokic caused Antiche's fourth personal foul early, and the situation began to develop in a direction that favored the Nets.

During the third quarter as a substitute, Tracy McGrady used the cover to hit his first playoff goal after joining the Nets.

The fans at the scene watched with enthusiasm, cheers were overwhelming, and some fans even cried with excitement.

Although it is not the return of the king, but watching the former MVP perform well again, the resonance in the depths of the memory also touches the depths of the soul.
