This is a truly exciting Chinese Derby. This time, everyone’s excitement is not only in the words "Chinese Derby".
First of all, this is a real "Chinese Derby."
Before that, all the "Chinese Derby" seemed a bit unworthy of the name. In the earliest Chinese Derby, the China players in the two teams were not the main players in the team. After the rise of Yao Ming, only one team’s China players are the core players of the team.
Now, Li Cheng and Yao Ming are the core figures of their respective teams.
Needless to say, Li Cheng is now the captain of the Pacers and the core of the Pacers’ team.
In Houston, Yao Ming has become the most solid pillar of the team this season.
McGrady, who was gradually eroded by injuries, and Artest, who just arrived here, are not as suitable for this position as Yao Ming. Although Yao Ming’s slightly introverted personality is not suitable for the core of the team, McGrady’s personality is not suitable for the core. Therefore, Yao Ming, who performed more stably than McGrady this season, naturally became Adelman’s most dependent existence.
On the other hand, the strength of the two teams in this "China Derby" is extremely similar.
Today’s Pacers rank first in the league with 12 wins and 1 loss, while Houston Rockets rank fourth in the West with 10 wins and 5 losses.
The other is the collision between Li Cheng and McGrady. Maybe Li Cheng and McGrady won’t be in opposition today, but the top scorers between the two leagues will be tit for tat. It’s exciting to think about it.
Before this game, McGrady’s state was relatively stable. He averaged 25.7 points in three games, which is a good figure.
Once the man who performed the miracle of "35 seconds and 13 minutes"; The high-spirited teenager in Orlando; Last season, McGrady staged the last madness in Salt Lake City, but he couldn’t turn the tide. I’m getting farther and farther away from people after the operation of knee injury …
Maybe the quack of the rocket hurt him, or maybe it was his own fighting spirit. But it is undeniable that time is slowly taking away the omnipotent t-mac.
At this time in the land of China. Many fans who are watching this Chinese derby are also McGrady fans. When McGrady’s eyes, which seemed to be awake, were taken care of by close-ups, some people were also crying.
"McGrady … is still old!"
"Looking at Li Cheng’s high spirits now, I can always think of the young McGrady who is angry with the magic clothes."
"Yes! Maybe there will be a second McGrady in the future. But I have no second youth to chase him. "
"Now Li Cheng may be the last star I chase, and there will be no more."
"Maybe … just like many people stopped paying attention to the nba after Jordan retired!"
No one knows that such a game can cause so much emotion, but the players on the scene have no mind to feel life again. Because the game started from the first second after the whistle, the competition was particularly fierce.
Ron Artest has his eye on Li Cheng, Granger finds McGrady, and Alston keeps the ball firmly under control and moves forward slowly.
T-Mac threw himself and ran outside the three-point line to catch the ball.
In the rocket. Perhaps Alston’s main task is to transport the ball across the half-court, and then look for opportunities to shoot and break through, and the other is to play the whole game alone when his teammates are not in the state.
Alston, a man who can travel through the soul, can make a fool of nine people on the field and score a beautiful goal when he is in a violent state.
It’s just that such players are too flashy in Stegen’s view. In his words, they are people like Alston-not practical!
"From the perspective of paper strength. The only shortcoming of the Rockets is their point guard position. But even so, they still have the strength to compete for the championship. However, there are too many problems hidden behind the gorgeous lineup, but there are too many … "This is what Stegen said on the tactical analysis before this game.
The meaning of Stegen’s sentence is very obvious. "The Rockets will never be the enemy on our way to winning the championship. He can’t rush out of the west. And this game, we don’t have to care too much about the rockets. If they are crazy in this game, they will play their paper strength. It doesn’t matter if we lose, we just have to play our own game. "
Stegen’s analysis makes sense. But today, the rockets played very hard after the opening.
McGrady and Yao Ming made a pick-and-roll match, and then he stepped forward to the right. Then he pulled it up and threw it.
The take-off height of McGrady was not as high as before, but the smooth shooting curve still hit the back edge of the basket and bounced into the basket.
McGrady used this ball to prove that he is still the same McGrady. Although he is old, he is not dead yet.
The Rockets scored the first goal, leading the Pacers 2-0. But in the next attack, Li Cheng scored almost in the same way as McGrady.
Madison’s eyes, which seemed never to wake up, flashed a light.
McGrady seems to many people to have no fighting spirit, but he is not as paranoid as Kobe, but he also has a strong competitive heart.
If Kobe is like a fighter, then McGrady is like a child. He is a little headstrong, but also a little more naive than Kobe. But in any case, McGrady’s competitive spirit can never be underestimated.
Li Cheng is now the most powerful defender in the league. Li Cheng’s shooting just now is an obvious gauntlet, and McGrady naturally has no reason not to play.
Back in the frontcourt, Alston handed the ball to McGrady, who was not ready to pass the ball at all this time, and he was ready to continue the singles.
McGrady grabbed the ball with one hand and leaned back against Granger at a 45-degree angle on the left, which was his signature move.
No matter what kind of state, McGrady’s one-handed holding of the ball to prepare for attack is always so domineering.
One turns around, opens the ball with his left hand Granger, dribbles and moves forward quickly. At this time, Yao Ming suddenly appeared beside McGrady to completely fend off Granger, and then McGrady faked to shake off hibbert and put the ball into the basket with a low hand.
McGrady’s series of attacks are flowing, which shows some shadows at his peak. Although many people still think that McGrady is still at the peak, in fact, he is driving down the ramp very fast.
Coming back, Li Cheng directly controlled the ball and walked through the half-court. Li Cheng’s competitiveness has always been a bit outrageous. Today, his competitiveness has also been completely stimulated.
Although for Li Cheng, he thinks that the most important game is the game against the Lakers on December 3rd, which will be his first match against Kobe Bryant in the regular season, this game is equally important to him. Because the weight represented by the word McGrady is also very heavy in the whole league.
"Li Cheng and McGrady are soaring each other as soon as they come up! This game looks good. "
"Yes! McGrady is in good shape in this game. "
"McGrady has been in very good shape in recent games."
"If it is McGrady in its heyday, then this game will be very interesting."
"What a pity! Time and injury are the biggest enemies of every player … "
"Let’s continue to watch the game! The scene of mutual arrogance between McGrady and Li Cheng will not appear too many times in the nba. Let’s enjoy it this time! "
