Chapter 224 halftime

Pat Garretti is the main offensive firepower point on the Magic bench this season. He can score 11 points this season, which is a career high. However, in the second quarter, he came up and had no chance of getting the ball except for running back. The ball was in the hands of Troy Hudson. The 185 point guard was so angry that he completely forgot his duty to pass the ball. The other four Magic players could only keep running.

The same is true for Old Ewing. He ran for a few rounds and couldn't run anymore. Hey, among the four centers now, David Robinson and O'Neal are the best ones. Although Olajuwon was exiled to Toronto, they have at least two rings. As for himself, the totem that rose to the Knicks, he ended up being traded by the team. How much I want to retire in the Knicks like Willis Reed and Walter Frazer. The most tragic thing is that he entered the finals twice and became a background board twice. I don't know if he has a third chance before he retires.

Crawford completely showed confidence on the bench. Facing Troy Hudson, Crawford was so proud of his opponent's hand.'oh     , this Bulls' substitute is so confident. He actually made a three-pointer against the defense. Can he make a move? "David Steele saw Crawford's brainless playing style, and he sneered at it. There was no way for the Magic to play so badly in the first quarter. McGrady's unsolvable kick was also suppressed by Ate's beastly body. Apart from McGrady, the Magic had no second strength at all.

After the ball entered, Lao Li scratched his head on the sidelines and looked at the bench. He could only let McGrady play. Although McGrady had one minute to rest, he really couldn't wait.

McGrady was back on the court, and the Magic was 8 points behind. McGrady was immediately effective when he came up. Facing the Bulls' loose defense, McGrady hit the basket in one stroke, and his signature trolley dunk scored, which also caused the Bulls to make a foul on the bench inside.

"Hoho, Tracy is back, pretty, this dunk is so morale-enhancing. There is still time, and the Magic still has a chance to catch up with the score."

Tim Floyd really sat firmly on the sidelines. Li Lei stood up on the bench and pushed the opponent, and the latter called a timeout.

Davis Thiel captured this detail again. His voice completely overshadowed Mike Brynn. The Magic played in that quarter just now. The timeout that Li Lei called was very critical. This is when the Magic wanted momentum. "Bruce has the potential to become the head coach. His timeout will definitely affect the offensive rhythm of the Magic."

Li Lei couldn't hear the commentary, so he gathered his teammates, "The game is not over yet, Ron continues to put pressure on McGrady, don't care about anything else." Atai nodded. Although McGrady played well in the first quarter, his hit rate was really not high. Apart from the viewing, there was nothing left.

The Bulls came back for a timeout and started back on the court. The Magic obviously didn't expect this. Old Li just won the Best Head Coach last season. It was when he was full of complacent. Many of his shortcomings and shortcomings were not really exposed. In this game, Li Lei didn't mind in front of the national audience and let everyone see the weight of this Best Head Coach.

Arte faced McGrady again, but this time it was McGrady who went to defend Arte. Arte did not fight against McGrady, but ran constantly as Li Lei's instructions. McGrady obviously did not follow the defense. He prefers attacking more than defense. So when Arte found an opportunity on the outside, McGrady did not go up to assist in defense at the first time. Although Mike Miller made up for defense on the side, the latter's defense was not much different, but it just made Arte's shot become a breakthrough.

Atai made this breakthrough, but the referee did not sing 21. The Magic's substitute escaped, and there was still no substitution with the document on the sidelines. He seemed to be thinking about something. McGrady met Atai again. He didn't believe in evil and broke through again. With a duang, his body had a close contact with Atai again. Pat Garretti on the other side suddenly shouted, "Be careful Tracy." McGrady turned around and saw a guy wearing a No. 7 jersey was about to intercept the ball. McGrady smiled contemptuously. When his ball sense was ruined, McGrady didn't panic at all. He shook lightly and switched the ball to the other hand, but at the same time, a long arm directly reached the ball. With a bang, the ball was knocked out all at once. The referee did not call a foul. Richardson got the ball at the far end, rushed to the backcourt, and dunked again.

Doug Rivers finally knew it was called a timeout, but was it too late to wake up? McGrady's previous trolley was very morale, but it was resolved by Li Lei. When the Bulls were suspended, he also told me a few words, maybe the situation was completely different from now. Old Li was better than perfect coaches because of forward-lookingness. Ninety percent of the head coaches did not have this thing. If you have this qualities, it is only a matter of time before becoming a champion coach.

"We are going to switch to the starting lineup again. Darrell, I don't want to see any exciting highlights from Bruce. You have to find a way to stop him. You have to give Tracy more support. It is unrealistic to rely on him alone and defeat the other party. They are not as weak as the Grizzlies."

Lao Li saw it very clearly. The Magic players were drinking water silently. There was no objection to the head coach. Lao Li was still very credible among the players. No matter what tactics, everyone would execute it. This is the key to why the Magic team seemed to have not been so strong on paper, but still could reach the playoffs.

The Magic came back from the timeout, and the main focus was not on McGrady. Lao Li's tactics just now were very clear. He didn't let McGrady catch the ball as soon as possible. Outside him, he wanted to find a second goal point.

The second goal point is the Magic's starting five tigers. There are not many people who can really handle the ball except McGrath. Horace Grant and Mike Brin are one of them together. Darrell Armstrong chose Cobra. McGrath has no ball in his hand, but Arte is still tightly attached to him. Wherever McGrath goes, he goes, Lao Li's expression on the sidelines was very serious. Cobra got the ball and looked at McGrath's position. He had no chance to be entangled by Arte. Cobra could only shoot by himself. Brand did not expect it at the first time. This was a mid-range distance.

This ball is a microcosm of the second quarter. In the half game, McGrady's shooting percentage was not high and shot 12 times, scoring 10 points. Li Lei's side had 7 points and 6 assists, and the Bulls led the way into the midfield.
