Chapter 117 McGrady is a little bit broken
After avenging the King, the Warriors ushered in the Orlando Magic at home.

The Magic waved their checks vigorously in the summer, but in the end neither Duncan nor Zhang Chen chose them, but the signing of McGrady and Hill still made them a hot topic in the offseason.

It's a pity that Grant Hill was injured at the beginning of the season, which directly made half of their checks in danger of being wasted. However, McGrady surrendered 32 points and 12 rebounds in the first game of the season, leading the team to victory , Let them see hope again.

I thought it was a bit of a loss to give McGrady and Hill the same big contract, but now it seems that McGrady is worth the price.

Coupled with the fact that this year's rookie Mike Miller has also shown good adaptability to the NBA, the Magic still feel that their strength has substantially improved. Last season's civilian lineup performed well. is exciting.

After Tracy McGrady came to the Magic, he was still depressed at first that the Big Three model promised by the Magic had not been completed. The treatment, the cheers of the fans, his feeling is only one word, cool.

Sure enough, it was right to leave his cousin's side. At that time, these belonged to Carter, and now in Orlando, he can enjoy all of them.

"I will defeat Zhang Chen." Facing the reporter's advance, he uttered bold words.

He has long wanted to do this against Zhang Chen. He still remembers that Zhang Chen said a long time ago that he would become an All-Star player. At that time, he still didn't believe it. Now he completely believes that he really has this ability. , He can do even more difficult things. He was very excited when he watched Carter and Zhang Chen confront each other. He wished he could step forward and make two moves.

He wants to prove that he is better than his cousin Carter, and Zhang Chen, who overwhelmed Carter to win the best rookie.

To be honest, he was a little impatient.

The media is most interested in such a well-known duel. Both Zhang Chen and McGrady got maximum salary contracts this summer, and both left their original teams to become the bosses of another team. Facing the expectations of a group of reporters, Zhang Chen smiled faintly, "Why are you in a hurry, whoever wins and who loses will just see the result after the game."

Facing the Magic, the Warriors will finally not be abused on the inside. Whether it is Tracy McGrady, Armstrong, or Mike Miller, the strength of the Magic is on the outside. Jamison can finally show his talents.

The key to this game is really the personal confrontation between Zhang Chen and McGrady, whether it is offensive or defensive.

There are not many top forwards and guards with both defenses in the league, and Zhang Chen and McGrady are two of them.

The feeling on the court is that Tracy McGrady is elegant and Carter is domineering. In fact, if you look carefully, many technical characteristics of the two are very similar, but the feeling is different. The first step of the breakthrough is surprisingly good. , Facing most of the defenders is a one-step rhythm, and the two people's shots made on the spot can almost ignore the defense.

The difference is that McGrady's defense is better at this time. The key is mentality. After becoming the boss, McGrady is not so active in defense. As for shooting, McGrady seems to be more accurate. In fact, he is similar to Carter. The reason why it looks more coquettish when the figure is dry.

In terms of physical fitness, both of them can be regarded as extremely talented types, but Carter's strength is stronger, and Tracy McGrady is more flexible.
In general, McGrady, who left the Raptors and suddenly became the leader of the team, feels that his strength is comparable to that of Carter.

Dampier won the jump ball, and after Zhang Chen received the ball, Tracy McGrady was already tightly stuck behind him.

McGrady has a slight advantage in round height, and Zhang Chen is definitely stronger in round strength. However, against a player with instant explosive power like McGrady, you must be careful even if you push with your back. If you don't sit still and let the opponent follow you to take off , may not necessarily be blocked.

For the first ball, Zhang Chen still chose to grasp the biggest frontal breakthrough.

He bent slightly and shook twice, and the center of gravity of his body changed twice, which was also a huge start. Most forwards and defenders would use this move, depending on the speed and range. Although Zhang Chen was not as good as Grant-Hee But these people are not bad.

But McGrady is very familiar with this move. His current teammate is Hill, and his former teammate is Carter, including himself. On Zhang Chen's forward route.

In addition to being familiar with the correct judgment made by this trick, it also reflects his super fast reaction nerves.

However, apart from his speed and range, Zhang Chen is also somewhat different from others. When he meets a player who can keep up with him, he will use his strength to push the opponent away.

Therefore, McGrady suffered a small loss in the first collision. After Zhang Chen squeezed the opponent away, he made a decisive shot. To prevent his move, he must either be faster than him, or need speed and strength. They all compete with what he has, and the players who can do it are at least very few.

When it came to the Magic's offense, Tracy McGrady also turned his body around after receiving the ball with his back, stepped back and started dribbling.

Accelerated and changed direction, but did not rush inside, but took a big step across, pulled up and shot.

He also shot the ball into the basket steadily. With his height and jumping, it was very difficult for Zhang Chen to interfere with the opponent. The moment he saw the ball scored, Zhang Chen determined the defensive strategy for this match and fought hard. Stamina, strengthening against restricted shooting percentage.

McGrady has done dirty work in the Raptors before. He is no stranger to physical confrontation, but Zhang Chen's strength is obviously different from ordinary physical confrontation. As the team's head star, he is still defending Zhang Chen is one of the relatively few representatives who work so hard in the middle school.

In other positions in this game, Jamison and Hughes have certain advantages. As for the point guard, Armstrong, who has better physical fitness, must have an advantage. It is not that he has not considered switching defenses. Sidu is a bit at a disadvantage, and Blaylock will definitely not be able to prevent it.

In fact, because the Magic's attacking points are too concentrated, as long as Zhang Chen holds McGrady, the Warriors will have a better chance of winning. However, since McGrady is so active in the competition, Zhang Chen can't neglect him.

He hit the second ball hard, and he pushed McGrady all the way in, pushing McGrady into the three-second zone, almost making the Magic players look stupid, and then he hit the ball with a small center-style hook. .

With this style of play, I really can't imagine that this player played at the second position last season.

McGrady was very angry. This kind of physical resistance and lack of technical content is a contempt for him.

As soon as he reached out to ask for the ball during the attack, he found that Zhang Chen pushed him a step forward. It was very dangerous. If his teammate had passed the ball just now, the ball might have been broken.

Is this the way the head team plays? It is simply the defensive method of the blue-collar players.

McGrady was surprised. Although the team had played against Zhang Chen's team before and watched the video of Zhang Chen playing, the situation in person was still very different.

After stumbling and finally receiving the ball, he found that he was several steps away from the three-point line, but with the ball in his hands, his confidence rose again, and he dared to follow him to walk so far, Zhang Chen was nothing more than that, posted so Nearly, passing is only one step.

He swayed his body from side to side twice, and started violently. Unlike Zhang Chen, he almost completely moved his body to the other side of the defender.

As long as he speeds up again, no one will be able to catch up with him.

"How is it possible..." McGrady was once again surprised that Zhang Chen followed his pace.

If it was so close, even Carter would not be able to get close to him.

Of course, he didn't dare to be 100% sure, because the two were teammates before, and they hadn't competed with all their strength on the court. Anyway, he could blitz each other like this during training.

This is the difference between playing the main force and playing as a substitute. There are still a few guys who can keep up like this. He will encounter them one after another in the future. It mainly depends on whether these guys will go all out in the matchup with him.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't get rid of it, he's good at shooting against defenses.

It's just that he had already stopped in the surprise just now, Zhang Chen was so tight, it was not so convenient for him to exert force, no matter, he pulled it up and threw it, and even leaned back slightly.

With his height and jumping, there should be no problem at all.

It's a pity that he underestimated Zhang Chen's defense. He was more familiar with the situation where the two sides stuck together and didn't take off completely. He jumped almost at the same time, and his palms sealed it.

With a flick of McGrady's wrist, the basketball in his hand flew out, and he broke out in a cold sweat. If his wrist hadn't increased at the moment of the shot, the ball would have been blocked.

But avoiding the block affected the quality of the shot, and the rebound was confiscated by the Warriors.

After the Warriors got the rebound, they rushed forward quickly. McGrady desperately returned to the defense, and finally caught up with Zhang Chen for a layup and defended the basket. Why was he defending, because the Magic team's inside defense speed is not so fast.

He put all his energy into it, if Zhang Chen dared to dunk against him, he would definitely take off the ball cap, even if the cap couldn't be removed, he would stop the opponent even if he made a foul.

Seeing the other party getting closer, McGrady felt the tension in his heart. He didn't have enough confidence in such a thing. When facing Carter, he had never tried this before.

However, now he must do it.

Jumped up, but Zhang Chen jumped to the side, where did the ball in his hand go.

McGrady was a little confused for a while, and then he saw that Jamison, who Zhang Chen felt behind him, had leaped high and smashed the ball into the basket.

What the hell is this? He was about to gnaw his teeth here, and Zhang Chen actually passed the ball.

Zhang Chen actually passed the ball, McGrady couldn't figure it out, he didn't wake up in a daze until his teammates called him twice.

When facing Zhang Chen, McGrady had a feeling of collapse.
