Chapter 370： Tracy McGrady (3 / F)

After rubbing his nose, Tang Tian could not help but wonder.

Why has he become so easily caught cold recently?

Fortunately, the body doesn't feel much, and it seems that the problem should be small.

At the end of the training, Popovich took the team members and gave them a shot in advance.

This game the Rockets home, he also knows this game will definitely not play well.

At the Toyota Center that night, the attendance rate of fans exceeded 90%.

Even in the playoffs, this is quite rare.

In addition to supporting the Rockets, there are a lot of them for McGrady.

Despite McGrady's departure and the team's unhappiness, the previous 6 years of his career have accumulated a lot of fans for him.

And these fans know well that McGrady has not played since joining the Spurs. This is basically the last time they saw McGrady in the playoffs.

After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of both sides have been released.

On the Spurs side is the regular lineup, with Parker and Tang Tian on the perimeter, Leonard and Duncan on the wing and Splitter on the center.

The Rockets have lineup changes here. Beverly, who performed well in the game, replaced Jeremy Lin into the starting lineup. He and Harden partnered in the backcourt.

The front line is still Garcia and Parsons, center Asik.

In the cheers of the fans, Asik jumped over Split to gain a leading offensive opportunity for the Rockets.

Jeremy Lin didn't start, Harden became the team's only offensive starter, and he chose to play for the first time with the ball.

Tang Tian's defense is in place, and the blocker almost jumped to the basket to cover the ball.

Harden completely lost his angle in the air, but he straightened his hand and leaned on Tang Tian when he fell.

The referee whistled to signal Tang Tian's thug.

Tang Tian looked silently at the referee.

The rule is that there must be no physical contact with the lower part of the body, and this is obviously Harden leaning on himself, not his active foul at all.

This is a false positive!

Popovich rushed to the sidelines to question the referee loudly.

He guessed that the penalty level would change before the game, but he did not expect to blow Tang Tian's foul as soon as he came up.

The referee did not change his sentence and signaled Harden to make a free throw.

Harden made two free throws for the Rockets' first record.

And this is just the beginning.

Harden used his new understanding of the rules in the first quarter, or he has begun to learn to use the rules, and frequently made fouls on Spurs players.

Tang Tian played 6 minutes and made two offenses. Green and Leonard also led to two offenses.

Popovich was even expelled from the roaring referee at the end of the festival.

The effect of a large number of fouls is rotation fatigue.

Even the angry old man by the Spurs was gone, replaced by a look and the weather of Budenholzer.

After the first quarter, the Rockets led the Spurs 10 points by 30-20. Harden scored 10 free throws in this single quarter.

The good news is that Harden, who has played a full period, finally comes to rest, and the Spurs can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

However, this tone has not been relieved for a while. Leonard, who led the team on the court, was anxious to get off the defensive and waved his elbow.

This foul is also his third foul in the game.

Budenholzer glanced at the bench, Tang Tian 2 offenses, Green 2 offenses, Anderson was previously sacked, plus Leonard 3 offenses, the original deep flanks, tonight rotation pressure is very high.

With his hands on his cheeks for a moment, he turned and called McGrady from the end of the bench.

To say that although Popovich was absent, he was considered open before the game, and McGrady was placed on the activation list. The team is not completely unavailable at this time.

McGrady's words, although not enough to meet the team's playing requirements, but at this time there is nothing else.

McGrady walked to the technical station, and a whistle sounded at the scene.

There are fans of McGrady inside, they did not expect to really see McGrady playing tonight, and it is still in the regular rotation time.

Others are Rockets fans who don't have much affection for McGrady, and now wait to see McGrady ugly.

To know McGrady, he played in the CBA last season and has been eliminated by the NBA, let alone the intensity of the playoffs.

In the Rockets' offense, Delfino missed a three-pointer from the outside.

At the rim, Dior and Greg Smith battled for a slot.

However, the ball was a long rebound. McGrady stuck Parsons with a slightly fat body and reached for the defensive long rebound.

There were scattered cheers at the scene, and McGrady came up and took a board!

Tang Tian couldn't help smiling at the scene.

McGrady is now a veteran, and his experience is still sufficient.

The Spurs scored a hammer tactical run in the frontcourt, and McGrady had a three-point chance after being dropped.

His movement was a bit slow, and Parsons, who was assisted by the defense, directly interfered with his shot.

However, Tracy McGrady did not seem to want to make a three-pointer, a fake three-pointer, passing Parsons to the middle distance.

The familiar posture, the iconic scissors legs, although fat but still ecstatic.

Many fans at the scene yelled out.

"boom!"

Unfortunately, McGrady's iconic dry pull did not make it.

The opportunity is good, but it is obvious that he has not shot well because he has not played a formal game for a long time.

The Rockets counterattacked, Brooks' layup in the frontcourt was missed by Ginobili, and Jeremy Lin failed to make up the ball.

The offensive success rate for both sides was not high.

The Spurs had another hammer tactic in the frontcourt, and Ginobili shot a three-pointer from the top of the arc.

"boom!"

Still don't make it, this section of the rim has covered both sides.

Fortunately, at this moment Dior arched Greg Smith with his big **** and grabbed the offensive rebound.

After seeing McGrady in the corner have a chance, he threw the ball and passed it.

Team basketball, where opportunities pass.

Tracy McGrady is a complete open opportunity, he adjusted the three-pointer after shooting.

"boom!"

The ball missed a bit.

But it was leaning inward, and the ball rebounded inside the rebound.

McGrady, score!

There was a whistle and cheers from the sidelines.

This is very rare in the NBA ~ www.novelhall.com ~ If you know that McGrady, now is not a member of the Rockets, but an opponent!

When McGrady ran back, feeling the enthusiasm of the fans, he stretched out his hands and made his iconic action, his hands opened forty-five degrees upwards!

The cheers were even louder.

What a familiar scene, though McGrady is wearing a Spurs jersey!

"This is T-mac's re-appearance in the NBA playoffs after 5 years, and this is his first score after 5 years."

At the commentary table, Mike Brin also said with emotion.

McGrady's words are recognized as the most talented player in the league, but because of injuries and other factors, failing to perform as expected, it is regrettable.

The word sadness is destined to be linked to him, but it is enough to be able to see him score on the NBA after five years! Remember the website URL, www. biquxu. Com, easy to read next time, or enter "" on Baidu, you can enter this site
