Chapter 414 Salute to Youth
McGrady was playing with his back and Ying Xiong defended fiercely, which made it difficult for Hinrich to pass the ball to him.
And Ying Xiong's strict defense also paid the price, and was called an off-ball defensive foul by the referee.
McGrady chewed gum, smiled and said to Xiong: "Be careful of the referee!"
Ying Xiong also smiled and said, "I know!"
Hinrich sent a throw-in to McGrady, and Radmanovich wanted to pick and roll him, but McGrady refused.
McGrady's teammates also cooperated very well, pulling away and letting McGrady fight one by one.
Ying Xiong defended McGrady alone, and the two faced off at the top of the arc.
The fans at the scene couldn't help standing up, such a scene is rare.McGrady and Ying Xiong are players who are two generations apart. Now they can fight one-on-one in the game. At this moment, the fans temporarily forget their positions and just want to quietly appreciate such a wonderful moment.
"I'm coming, Chinese boy!" McGrady said with a smile.It's still the eyes that haven't woken up, the handsome one-handed ball, and the chic posture... Even McGrady, who is about to retire, is still so chic and cool.
"Come on!" Ying Xiong put away his smile, his eyes full of anticipation and seriousness.He doesn't want to lose, and at the same time wants to use the best defensive performance to pay tribute to this superstar.
McGrady raised the ball over his head and took a tentative step with his right foot to test Ying Xiong's reaction.
Ying Xiong didn't die, and he was also observing. He didn't want to be fouled by the opponent on 3-point shooting, and he could avoid being passed.Even if the old McGrady really broke out, the speed of the first step should not be underestimated.
McGrady made a false sway, and then suddenly held the ball in his right hand, took a big step, and forced a breakthrough to the right.His breakthrough was direct and quick, as if reminiscent of his prime.
Ying Xiong reacted very quickly and moved quickly to avoid being passed by the opponent.
McGrady held the ball near the right side of the free throw line, suddenly stopped and pulled the ball, and then collected the ball and pulled it out.His movements are very smooth and done in one go, and the dry pull is very handsome and elegant.
Ying Xiong's reaction was still very fast, he adjusted his center of gravity in time, stopped and jumped up to interfere.
McGrady's air suspension is still very good, but the bullet speed and explosive power are no longer comparable to the peak period.You must know that in his peak period, even if he didn't make these sudden stops and changes of direction, no one in the league could block him just by pulling directly.
Ying Xiong's blocking was in place, which affected McGrady's shot, which surprised McGrady. He didn't expect the opponent's reaction and physical fitness to be so good.
But McGrady's touch in this game was so good that even though Yingxiong had already defended well, he still couldn't prevent the goal from happening.
The fans at the scene were amazed, amazed at Yingxiong's excellent defense, and even more amazed at Maddie's heaven-defying goal.You must know that this ball is very difficult. In order to avoid being blocked, McGrady can increase the range of the shot.
The point difference has been widened to 7 points, which is the biggest point difference in this game.
Although the goal was scored, McGrady was not happy in his heart. He knew that the goal was somewhat lucky. He secretly marveled at Yingxiong's defense just now, thinking that he still underestimated this Asian kid. Like a young talent, focusing on offense and messing up defense.
Barbosa slowly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and gave it to Ying Xiong who came out to catch the ball.The Raptors also pulled away, allowing Ying Xiong to single out McGrady.Everyone didn't get the coach's instruction, but they did it naturally.Not only can I feel Ying Xiong's strong fighting spirit, but also a kind of momentum.If one's core players are outmatched by an opponent's late-age superstar who is on the bench at home, then it will be almost impossible to win this game.
Seeing that Ying Xiong wanted to single him out, Mai Di felt relieved and felt as if he was several years younger all of a sudden.As the leading scorer in the league back then, he naturally didn't want to see Ying Xiong avoid him, whether it was because of letting himself or because he was afraid of losing face if he lost.
Ying Xiong saw the long-lost smile on McGrady's face, the look of anticipation in his eyes, and he knew that his choice was right.
Ying Xiong faced McGrady with the ball, and started to start under the attention of the fans.He dribbled the ball back and forth between his crotches, finding the rhythm, and at the same time paying attention to the opponent's movements.
McGrady didn't mean to post it, so this choice is naturally very wise.Even though McGrady was very fast at his peak, now, no matter how confident he is, he can't help but admit that if he sticks closer, he will be mercilessly passed by the opponent.
Ying Xiong made a crossover, changed direction and left hand, McGrady barely kept up, but then he dribbled the ball quickly behind his back and went right hand, McGrady couldn't keep up.
Ying Xiong went straight to the basket, European stepping away from Radmanovic who was helping to defend, and hit the board!
"Wow——" the fans at the scene were all excited about Ying Xiong's series of aggressive offensive moves just now, and they were also excited that he could respond to McGrady's attack in a timely manner.
Here, McGrady continued to single out after receiving the ball. Under Ying Xiong's aggressive defense, he had no room to attack. He passed the ball and was knocked down by Ying Xiong.
Ying Xiong slung his waist, quickly rushed out, grabbed the ball, and then accelerated directly, with no one in the frontcourt.
The fans of the home team at the scene cheered, and everyone was looking forward to seeing what kind of dunk he was about to make.Obviously, under such circumstances, with Yingxiong's temper and his spirit of agreeing to participate in the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, it is impossible to end with a simple layup.
Ying Xiong quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. When he stepped into the 3-point line, the ball in his hand suddenly left his hand...
--What's happening here?Could it be that Ying Xiong softened his hands when faced with an undefended goal that must be scored?
But soon, the fans' worries disappeared, because the ball that flew out of Ying Xiong's hand hit the backboard, and then bounced back. At this time, some fans shouted excitedly... and just now The 203cm man who was robbed didn't feel depressed at the moment. Instead, there was a smile in his sleepy eyes. Is it comfort?Still miss?Nobody knows except himself...
The moment the ball bounced off the backboard, Ying Xiong had already jumped with one foot. After catching the ball with both hands in the air, his body was completely suspended in the air.
The scene was boiling... As long as there are old fans, almost no one does not know the meaning of Yingxiong's ball. The idea of this ball comes from McGrady's classic self-throwing and self-dunk.Ying Xiong's move is to pay tribute to McGrady, and also to pay tribute to his youth.Pay tribute to the elegant and talented scorer wearing the No. 1 jersey!
The point difference was narrowed to only 3 points, when there was a timeout on the sidelines!The big screen at the scene played Ying Xiong's wonderful dunk over and over again!This ball is close to perfection in terms of meaning and completion.Ying Xiong seldom makes this kind of "showy" dunk in the game, but at this moment, his dunk will not arouse anyone's disgust, but it makes this tense game have some nostalgic taste .
