Toyota Center immediately booed everywhere. Although the fans here have always been very elegant, usually no matter whether they are cheering or booing, they are soft-spoken and not enthusiastic at all. It is basically the home stadium with the least home atmosphere in the league. The good thing is that they have never defected to support other teams, and they don't allow others to show off their prestige on their territory, but their boos are really not threatening, and Stephen didn't change his expression at all. .

Stephen's teammates also gathered around, patting their heads and shoulders. Stephen also responded to his teammates' enthusiasm. The Rockets were naturally very annoyed by Stephen's publicity, but the boss of the team, McGrady, was not That kind of impulsive person, others will naturally not stand out. In addition to Stephen's reputation, there is no one who dares to show his teeth to Stephen.

Without Yao Ming on the court, McGrady was naturally the undisputed first shot choice. After Alston dribbled the ball over halftime, he made a fake pass to the inside, but Tony Parker couldn't even move. No move, Yao Ming is not on the field, who believes that you will pass to Mutombo, it must be McGrady. Sure enough, Alston saw that he couldn't deceive anyone, so he had to pass the ball to McGrady.

When the Spurs were attacking, Sean Battier defended Stephen, but when the Spurs switched to attack, Stephen stood in front of McGrady. Although McGrady has lost the sharpness of the scoring champion period , and has lost the demeanor of the league's top offensive players, but some of his talents are still there, and his offense is at least top-notch.

McGrady's favorite offensive method now is the pull-up jump shot. On the one hand, he can save energy. After all, his physical fitness has passed the peak period. He is no longer like before, taking one step at a time, at least 90.00% of the same position in the league. For the above players, if they take one step at a time, it would be good to pass half of it.At the same time, because the pull-up jumper does not have much physical contact, it can also reduce the chance of injury, so as soon as Stephen stood in front of him this time, McGrady immediately jumped into the air, and the ball was thrown flat and steadily. basket.

This kind of flat and stable ball path must take off very high to ensure the hit rate. Although McGrady's physical fitness has begun to decline, his bounce is still very good. The ball pierced the sky and easily After getting into the basket, Stephen looked up, but he was curious in his heart, if he could make a jump shot like this with his own bounce, would he be able to make it? It seemed that he had to try.

After returning, Stephen played a pick-and-roll with Duncan, but Juwan Howard's defense blocked Stephen's side very well and let Stephen go inside. Mutombo had already raised his big hand and waited. After being fooled by the meeting, he turned around and came out of it again. If he was replaced by the old Stephen, although he could do this kind of movement, but it was not as smooth as flowing clouds and water. This is the credit of the special training.

After the bag came out, Sean Battier immediately took over Stephen's defense. For Sean Battier's defense, Stephen's biggest headache was that his defensive style made Stephen dare not make a strong breakthrough inside. Stephen came to the three-point line position, suddenly turned around, and before Sean Battier came over, Stephen suddenly took off and jumped into the air like McGrady. After eye-hand coordination and ready to aim at the basket, Throw the ball toward the basket.

Stephen didn't have much confidence when he shot, but Stephen did have the confidence to try. McGrady faced Michael Finley, but he kept watching this side, watching Stephen learn his own offensive methods, but he still learned He couldn't help showing a smile on his face, but before the smile completely disappeared from his face, he saw the ball passing through the basket very quickly, smoother than the one he shot.

This kid is really lucky, even this one can get in, McGrady turned his head and cursed depressingly, as a superstar player, he has to do the same, and he can't expose his rude side In front of the world, this is not in line with his personal image positioning. The Houston fans saw that Stephen dared to shoot with this hand. Although he was not facing McGrady, they still felt insulted. The boos were more serious than the dunk just now. strong.

Nessler, who was in charge of explaining the game, asked Bill Walton with a smile: "Look at it with your professional eyes, is this pull-up jump shot that Stephen used purely to fight against McGrady, or is he really good at this move?" .”

"I made it up on a whim, and the movements look quite unfamiliar." Bill Wharton said with certainty. In fact, this didn't require any professional eyes at all. Stephen's movements were not only not as smooth and elegant as McGrady's, they were like a piece of wood suddenly jumping on the ground. In the air, and then throw the ball out.

"Then what happened to the hit of the ball, did it hit it? Look at it with your professional eyes." Nessler continued to ask.

"No matter who shoots, the hit rate will not be [-]%. Dunk can also be dunked. Any shot, there is a possibility of hitting or not hitting. However, Stephen, a player, has always had a very good shooting percentage. His shots are average. They were all shot when they were relatively sure, so I don’t think it was a coincidence.” Bill Wharton pretended to be holding the wisdom pearl, but he couldn’t tell for sure, but sitting here, it had to be like this Said, and Nessler has been using a professional look, which made him feel a little uncomfortable, as if there was some trap waiting for him, but he had to accept it, because this was his job.

During the conversation between the two of them, McGrady continued to hit the jumper, still with the kind of incomparable dryness, as if he was showing Stephen the movement, the exact same movement, so chic and beautiful, but Bill Vaughn Don and Nessler didn't even discuss him. The former top star in the league, the two-time scoring champion, and the player who was once hailed as a god-possessed player, has now been reduced to a level where he is not even qualified to be a topical figure. The world is so realistic.

"Then do you think he will continue to make jump shots like this this time, will he hit again, judging by your professional vision and experience?" Nessler continued to ask Bill Walton, this time adding another experience Two words, Bill Wharton blinked twice, feeling something was wrong, but he had to answer, so he had to pretend to be thinking, trying to avoid this question.

Unexpectedly, the Spurs played a tactic, tossed for a long time, and had not yet completed the attack, and Nessler stared at him again, so he had to pretend to be thinking and said: "I think if If he continues to pull up the jump shot, he will still hit it. I believe in Stephen's ability, and at the same time, I believe that he will not be so rash in his grasp of the shot. If he chooses this attack method, he must be very sure."

"What if he misses? Can the great Bill Wharton imitate some animal sounds in front of the audience?" Nessler finally revealed his purpose.

"Do you think I'm that guy Charles?" Bill Wharton didn't agree, but continued to ask. Although Charles Barkley was on Yao Ming's body, Kenny Smith coaxed him into the trap, and he had no choice but to kiss the donkey's ass. , but he didn't suffer. The incident of kissing the donkey's butt made him famous. TNT TV immediately increased his appearance fee, and he was considered to be lost and reaped.

"It's up to you whether you dare to bet, no, he made a shot." Nessler wanted to continue to provoke Bill Walton, but saw that Stephen grabbed the rebound after Duncan missed the shot, and then was in the same position again. The shot was still a pull-up jumper, but the movement was much better than before. The bet between the two of them hadn't been reached yet, and the ball had already flown into the basket.

Nessler did not give up on this idea so easily. Before the offensive power came to the Spurs, he asked Bill Walton: "Do you think Stephen will continue to make jump shots next time?"

"That depends on whether McGrady will continue to make jump shots." It's a pity that McGrady appeared in their mouths after such a long time, but he was still Stephen's foil.

"Ah! He continued to pull, he was amazing, and he also hit." Obviously McGrady started it first, and this move is also his signature move, but seeing him continue to make shots like this, and it still hits, let Nessler looked very surprised.

"He has hit two consecutive hits, and now it's time for the third one. Do you think he will still hit it? It's time to gamble this time." Nessler demanded the bet very strongly, even if Bill Wharton No, because of work needs, I have to agree, because this is what the audience wants to see, so I readily agreed: "Although from the perspective of probability, each shot is independent, but I still bet with you, he will still hit."

"Okay, let's see if he will hit." Nessler immediately applauded, but Bill Wharton didn't want to let him go so easily: "But let's talk about what you plan to do if he hits, Do you also learn to move, ah, hit again, I won." When Bill Walton was talking, Stephen shot again and still hit, which made Bill Walton very excited, but after the excitement, he realized that , the bet has not been fully completed, at least if Nessler loses, it has not been decided what to do.

Sure enough, Nessler shrugged at him, looking like a rascal. Bill Wharton had no choice but to make an angry expression. Stephen's three consecutive jump shots made people feel very miraculous, because he usually didn't With such an offensive method, he was able to hit three out of three shots.
