"In the "Water House Center Gymnasium", the audience was all fascinated Tonight's game was really exciting!
Just after Tracy McGrady and Wang Dalin scored a wonderful goal respectively, the two immediately used their best to start a more intense one-on-one battle.
Carlisle sat on the sidelines, his expression becoming more solemn.
And the biggest disadvantage of star-to-star competition is that once your star is at a disadvantage in the competition, the balance of the game will tilt towards the opponent, which is undoubtedly unacceptable to Carlisle.
After all, basketball is a sport for five people, not just a duel between stars!
About eight minutes into the first quarter, the head coaches of both sides replaced some rotation players with a tacit understanding. The Magic removed Kemp and Hill and replaced them with Darrell Armstrong and Andrew De Klerk. .
Doc Rivers probably also wanted to make McGrady more comfortable to play one-on-one, so he deliberately replaced him with Armstrong, an orthodox point guard, and De Klerk, a center who was a second-round pick in 1995, is also younger and more aggressive than Kemp. .
For the Pistons, Carlisle replaced Hamilton, McGinnis and Robinson, and replaced Williams, Barry and Battle.
I guess Carlisle also thought clearly. Anyway, Wang Dalin and Tracy McGrady are on the court now. It would be a waste for the other main players to stay on the court. They might as well repair the Magic's second lineup.
If it were the playoffs, McGrady might have played the full game, but tonight was just a regular season game, and McGrady couldn't have played the full 48 minutes!
As long as McGrady takes a rest, Carlisle will decisively replace Wang Dalin and Big Ben, and then send Hamilton, McGinnis, Boozer, Robinson and other offensive players to play to "abuse" Compared with the depth of the lineup, the Magic can't beat the horse. Can't keep up with the Pistons!
In the last 4 minutes of the first quarter, Wang Dalin's touch was obviously declining, and his three consecutive attacks were all shots. McGrady seized the opportunity and led the team to an 8:2 spurt, stretching the score to 29:23 in one fell swoop.
At the beginning of the second quarter, McGrady came off the court to rest, and Carlisle also immediately replaced Wang Dalin and Big Ben, replacing him with a purely offensive lineup of Okur, Boozer, Williams, Barry and Alston.
Under the leadership of Hill, the Magic struggled to contend with the Pistons, but how could they be a match for the Pistons' aggressive offense?
If Hill had not suffered that serious knee injury and was still the "Successor to Jordan" in the Mega League back then, his strength would probably still be above that of Tracy McGrady It's a pity that time will never come back, and the past will only Can be recalled!
During this period of time, Hill was not only unable to prevent Hamilton's running and shooting on the court, but he also did nothing on the offensive end. Several shots ended in blackouts.
And "Fat Rain Man" Kemp was walked in an extremely embarrassed manner by Boozer and Okur.
Both of them have good mid-range shooting ability. If Camp doesn't guard against it, their mid-range shots can really be scored. But once he guards against it, the inside will be empty.
Another Magic insider, Pat Garrity, is very accurate in his long-range shooting, but his defensive ability is only so-so. It will be extremely difficult to defend either Boozer or Okur.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Hamilton, Boozer and Okur were playing well. Hamilton made 3 of 4 shots and scored 6 points. Boozer and Okur both made 2 of 3 shots and scored 4 points each.
This quarter lasted only about 5 minutes, and the Pistons hit a 14:4 spurt, not only catching up with the 6-point deficit, but also taking the lead 37:33.
McGrady rested for about 5 minutes and finally came back on the court, and Carlisle also replaced Wang Dalin.
In the second half of the second quarter, the game once again returned to the confrontation between Tracy McGrady and Wang Dalin. The two showed high standards on both offense and defense. The audience couldn't help but exclaimed again and again.
McGrady felt really good tonight. After scoring 12 points on 5 of 8 shots in the first quarter, he made another 4 of 7 shots in the second half of the second quarter, including 1 of 3 three-pointers. Scored 9 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals.
After halftime, McGrady made a total of 9 of 15 shots, including 3 of 5 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 23 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.
Wang Dalin made the same 5-for-8 shots as McGrady in the first quarter, including 2-for-3 three-pointers and 3-for-3 free throws. He scored 15 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 block. His score was even higher than McGrady.
But in the second half of the second quarter, his touch dropped significantly. He only scored 4 points, 2 rebounds and 1 steal on 2 of 6 shots. Especially, he failed to score two shots from outside the three-point line.
&??Enter again!
McGrady looked back and was stunned. He really rarely showed this expression, mainly because of his sleepy eyes he really couldn't open them!
The score was finally tied, and the Pistons players and Carlisle couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But Wang Dalin¡¯s expression is obviously a little unfinished It¡¯s only been 5 rounds, and I still have 5 shells left in my Italian cannon!
So as the home audience of the "Shuiwu Center Gymnasium" sighed again and again, Wang Dalin kept up his efforts and hit 5 more three-pointers.
It's not that the Magic didn't try to limit his three-point shooting. They tried their best to defend him every time, especially Tracy McGrady, who mainly defended him. He could swear that every time he defended, there were no flaws. It's enough of a distraction, but how the hell can he get in?
During this period, Rivers called a timeout again, but it was just like the last time he called a timeoutit was of no use at all!
Wang Dalin¡¯s shots were each more difficult than the last. Even though Kenny Smith could already be called a legendary pitcher in the league, he couldn¡¯t help but admire his batting.
Especially for the last ball, McGrady's hand had obviously hit Wang Dalin's right forearm. Even though the shooting action was completely changed, the ball still went in Can there be an extra penalty for a three-pointer? Just ask. Does it smell good to you?
In this regard, Wang Dalin acted very calmly, because he was so awesome after cheating, and this was just a basic operation!
During the 2001 playoffs, Wang Dalin broke the NBA playoff record for three-pointers made in a single game. Now he has broken the record for three-pointers made in a single game in the regular season.
Prior to this, the NBA regular season record for three-pointers in a single game was held by Magic small forward Denis Scott in the early years. He made 17 three-pointers in a game against the Hawks on April 18, 1996. He made 11 shots and scored 35 points.
In that game, he scored 33 points just on three-pointers, but he only scored 35 points in total. I have to say, this guy is really a professional shooter He did nothing but shoot three-pointers!
In addition to the three-pointer record, he also broke the NBA regular season scoring record in a single quarter. In this quarter, he made a total of 12 of 14 shots, including 10 of 11 three-pointers. He scored 34 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist. .
Previously, this record was held by the legendary superstar "Iceman" George Gervin On the last day of the 1977-1978 regular season, Gervin scored 63 points in the game between the Spurs and the Jazz. Among them, he scored 33 points in the second quarter.
In fact, Gervin's 33 points in a single quarter was somewhat grudge-y. At that time, he and "Skywalker" David Thompson were competing for the title of scoring champion that season, and the gap between the two was very small.
As a result, Thompson scored 73 points in the last game and scored 32 points in the first quarter. If Gervin wants to become the scoring leader, he must at least score 58 points in the last game.
So Gervin perfectly responded to Thompson¡¯s 73 points with 33 points in a single quarter and 63 points in the game, and became the scoring leader that season.
If you really want to count it out, Gervin¡¯s single-quarter scoring record is really valuable. After all, the NBA didn¡¯t have a three-point line at that time!
After the game started in the fourth quarter, McGrady was obviously a little sluggish, and he no longer regained his bravery in the first three quarters, so Rivers replaced all the main players about 6 minutes into the fourth quarter, and Carlisle also replaced Wang Dalin and the others. Replaced.
Wang Dalin played very "Buddha-like" in the last quarter. It was probably because he was too excited with the continuous offense in the third quarter. He might feel a little "guilty" towards Hamilton and the others, so he basically stayed in this quarter. Play ball for your teammates.
Wang Dalin only played 6 minutes in this quarter and only scored 2 points on 1-of-2 shooting. However, he sent out 5 assists and grabbed 4 rebounds.
So In this personal scoring battle against Biao, Wang Dalin actually scored a near-triple-double with 54 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists. In addition, he also sent 2 steals and 2 blocks.
McGrady scored 46 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals. He already performed very well, but he still lost, not only the game, but also the personal duel.
After winning against the Magic, the Pistons have won 27 consecutive games No matter what the outside world thinks, or what people inside the team think, breaking the Lakers' 33-game winning streak will be their important goal in the next stage.
Wang Dalin is probably more eager for this goal than anyone else The "copper skin and iron bone badge" he dreams of seems to be waving to him not far away! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
