Chapter 496: Zero to two, the magic that is forced into a desperate situation
McGrady is not a very ambitious person. When he came to Orlando, he actually came for Grant Hill. In addition, he didn't want to live in the shadow of his cousin Carter forever, because the cheap cousin who grew up in a well-off family has always been a child of other people's families. Every time he heard these things, Tracy's heart was very complicated, so leaving Toronto was actually a helpless choice. Of course, if you continue to stay there, maybe you won't be the scoring champion now.
But McGrady really doesn't care about these things. Duncan and Hill, who formed the team with him, didn't play a few games with him at all, and watched the water dispenser to recover from injuries every day. The other, because of the brainlessness of the management, let the opponent continue to return to the Spurs. If his partner is not Sean Camp, but Tim Duncan, then the Bulls will have the confidence to win.
Unfortunately, there is no if. Tracy is really sad. Although he has no ambitions, he doesn't want to lose. No one is willing to let his sweat pass in vain. The most reliable teammate around him is Kemp, who signed with a basic salary. This is really ridiculous. What's the use of Drew Guden from the Grizzlies in the middle of the season? The offense is half a bucket of water, and the defense is just a colander. It's not as efficient as a veteran, Kemp. Although the broken place in Orlando is his hometown team, McGrady is really fed up here.
So during the previous regular season, when rumors of the Magic wanting to trade came to McGrady's ears, he was not only angry, but also relieved and secretly happy. McGrady really didn't like to stay in this most inhumane team in the NBA.
However, the final transaction was aborted. If you go to the Bay Area to partner with Li Lei's compatriots, it would look a very good picture. Moreover, the Bay Area is much better than Orlando in all aspects. Although Orlando has Disneyland, it has something to do with magic.
In the other sets of duels, the team with home advantage won, and there was no big upset.
Before the second game started, the NBA draft lottery also began. The Cavaliers really won the No. 1 pick in a bid to win. Seeing this news, Li Lei laughed. If there was nothing wrong with it, Li Lei wouldn't believe it, and the Warriors drew the second place, which means that their draft pick has become the Bulls, and the Bulls will definitely want it, and there is no saying that it will be postponed to next year, because next year's draft level is not as high as this year.
The third pick is the Knicks, and Scott Rayden, the general manager of the Knicks, is interested in Anthony and Milicic. Anyway, the potential of these two people is higher than that of last year's McDunleavy's Tanhua show. What is yesterday's yellow flower, what is the origin of only new people laughing? Who heard the old people cry? McDunleavy, the second-generation star, has a deep understanding. However, what can I do? The Knicks' soil is not suitable for my own development at all. Although I can do it without a ball, I have less than 10 shots in a game. Look at Yao Ming and Jay Williams, and then look at myself. Both of them are from Tanhua show off. The gap is really big.
Klaus took the second pick and started to study who to choose, because Arte is leaving this summer. Although Butler can be promoted, the small forward position is still a bit weak. Anthony is the hottest presence in NCAA today. He is like Li Lei two seasons ago, and Milicic, a big man from Europe, is also a rare unpopular jade. Klaus is very hesitant to choose who to choose. As for Bosh, Wade, and Klaus behind, they don’t want to choose one. One has no meniscus and needs to practice shooting again. The other style of play may not be much better than Randolph and Rashid.
Klaus hesitated, and the Bulls ushered in the second game against the Magic on April 23. Rivers adjusted this game. He changed Gordon Girisek's position with McGrady. Kamp and Andrew DeCluck partnered, and Gooden was kicked to the bench. This first round No. 4 pick in 2002 did not reflect his due value at all.
Jacque Vaughn is no longer Jacques Vaughan, but is ravaged by Li Lei in the regular season. Darrell Armstrong has been trampled many times. Of course, the latter's style of playing in this game is very simple. After dribbling through half the game, handing the ball to McGrady, everything is over. McGrady is still very efficient when facing the Mask Man. No matter how close the Mask Man is, he can find the shooting angle. It is not an ordinary difficulty for him to block his quick breakthrough.
McGrady's touch was also very hot in this game. He scored another 20 points in the first half, Li Lei scored 14 points and 10 assists, and his performance was not bad at all. The Maskman also scored 12 points in the first half. McGrady, who was alone on the Magic, could not withstand the Bulls' many people.
But the only thing that makes He Wen's document thanks is that the Magic inside line in this game still has an absolute advantage so far. After all, the tonnage of Kamp and Andrew Dekluck is there. Rashid relies on his IQ to defend, so he cannot fight head-on with the opponent.
But the Magic's bench is still very bad. Ginobili and Caron Butler are like two sharp knives. Randolph also bullies Magic in the inside line, and these veterans who have no aura. The Bulls rely on collective strength to compete with McGrady's personal abilities. In the East today, McGrady can definitely be regarded as one of the most lethal weapons.
But he is a human, not a god. No matter how powerful he is, he can't play five. Especially after McGrady's rest, the Magic's offense collapsed suddenly. The Bulls got the opportunity and were directly a chance to score points. Drew Guden did not have any advantage against Randolph on the bench. Randolph would do whatever he knew, and Randolph would do. Compared with the opponent, his only advantage was age.
McGrady scored 46 points in this game, and the total score of two games was close to 90 points, while the Magic's total score was only 180.
