The era of point forwards in the NBA

Chapter 198 Fighting in front of McGrady (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)
After several rounds without scoring, Lin Yue stood up again.

This time he didn't call to cover to avoid Ariza's defense, but signaled his teammates to pull away. He wanted to score the ball at the Rockets' home court in the way he used to score in front of Tracy McGrady.

Without fancy dribbling, Lin Yue put the ball from his waist to the top of his head to make a crescent-shaped arc to confuse his opponent, and then lowered his center of gravity, with his knees and feet in a triangle position.

Suddenly, Lin Yue took off vigorously, his body movements were extremely stretched, his ball supporter was slightly to the inside, and his calf scissors kicked outwards, facing Ariza's defense was a dry pull.

This time Ariza didn't lose his position. He stuck in front of Lin Yue and followed him the moment he made a shot. Although he didn't directly block it, it was his best defense without fouling.

"Although this action is a little familiar, but this ball should not be scored." Ariza said to himself, and turned to look towards the direction of the basket.

"Shh!"

The ball went into the net hollow, just like Tracy McGrady back then.

Seeing Lin Yue's leaping back, McGrady thought of himself back then. At that time, he was wearing the Magic jersey, and the past of the boy in white appeared before his eyes. This is also the best tribute for a player is inheritance.

Of course, Lin Yue knew that he could only try his best to imitate it. This trick was not something he was good at, but he was very interested in Medina's elegant style of play and learned it for a while, but the effect was not ideal.

This is Lin Yue's feelings at work.

"Lin Yue's ball is incredible. I believe fans who are familiar with McGrady know that his movement just now may not be as smooth as McGrady's back then, but it was made by Lin Yue, like a slideshow of youth." Yu Jia said excitedly.

"The camera showed McGrady, and he showed an intriguing smile. It seems that even he himself felt that the completion was very high." Zhang Weiping said.

"Lin Yue is really interesting, Yao, it seems that you have an excellent junior." McGrady thought this way, seeing everyone fighting hard on the field, he really wanted to return to the field.

Even if he leaves the Rockets this time, he wants to stay on the court and run.

The former top four players, North Carolina, South Macy, and East Ai, are still at the top now, only Kobe Bryant who just won the championship. Carter changed his style of play, practiced a precise three-pointer, and transformed his positioning.

Ye Qingjie!
半场结束，凭借着林跃单节10分3助攻的完美表现雷霆队以50比44领先火箭队6分，布丁格也单节6中4拿到8分。

In the second half, the Rockets still failed to cause any trouble for the Thunder. Durant came back and scored 16 points in a single quarter in the third quarter. Everyone on Ariza's side was stupid.

He was still a blacksmith in the first half, but he was able to adjust his state immediately in the second half. On the offensive end, he made sudden shots. Ariza just wanted to say that I did my best.

Shane Battier's poor performance this time, only 8 of 2 from beyond the three-point line, is not because of how good Lin Yue's defense is, but purely because of his poor state.

In the case of the three minorities blooming together, there are few teams in the league that can resist. In the end, the Thunder defeated the Rockets 105 to 94.

The domestic fans were still very happy. It doesn't matter who wins the game. They have no resistance. Moreover, Lin Yue also performed McGrady's classic moves in the game. The players of the two teams also behaved very friendly.

Throughout the game, the Rockets tried their best. After losing their offensive strengths, their 3D pitchers Ariza and Battier lost a lot of open three-pointers.

Adelman also realized that without Yao Ming to attract the defense, his Princeton tactics are not so practical.

After the game, McGrady took the initiative to hug Lin Yue.

"Hey, brother, your move is good. I have heard your name from Yao Ming a long time ago. You are indeed a good player." McGrady did not hesitate to praise him.

"Does the senior know me?" Lin Yue asked, but he regretted it after asking. After all, McGrady and Yao Ming were on the same team. After being teammates in the Olympics, he and Yao Ming also got close. It's not surprising that McGrady knew him.

"When you entered the NCAA March Madness for the first time, we watched together under the leadership of Yao. Sure enough, you also entered the NBA." McGrady said, he somewhat missed those days, when they were still full of passion, but now they are ruthlessly shattered by reality.

"If senior wants to leave, the Thunder will welcome it. I can assure you." Lin Yue whispered in McGrady's ear. He also heard that McGrady was deeply involved in trade rumors, and Presti also publicly expressed his interest in McGrady.

"Thank you, I will consider it." McGrady said hello to other players.

After the game against the Rockets, Lin Yue was lying on the bed in a daze. When he was still in the NCAA, he had thought that there would be a day to play against them, but when McGrady and Yao Ming were not on the court, he couldn't get excited.

There is no sense of accomplishment after defeat.

The Yao Mai combination that best represents youth will eventually become a thing of the past.

After this sentimental game, the whole team returned to Oklahoma City early the next morning. On November 11, they will welcome the Oakland Magic at home, yes, last year's runner-up team.

The Magic team led by Howard is aiming for the championship after strengthening. Before this game, they had a record of 5 wins and 1 loss, while the Thunder team had a record of 4 wins and 1 loss. As the biggest dark horse of this season, people can't predict who the winner of this game will be?

After O'Neal got old and Yao Ming was injured, Howard became the NBA's well-deserved No. [-] center. The Magic's lineup was built around this powerful inside line.

Their start this year is still very strong, winning 6 of 5 games. This time facing the Oklahoma City Thunder, the happy boy Howard said in front of the media that there is no need to worry at all. The Thunder's weak inside line is vulnerable to him, and they will easily win this game.

Even if the Thunder became the league's biggest dark horse, Howard still doesn't take them seriously.

But Howard is right. The Thunder's insiders have no matchups. Whether it is the young Ibaka or the experienced Collison, it is difficult to limit the opponent's scoring.

The comments from the outside world did not reflect the internal training of the Thunder. No matter how difficult the team is, if their goal is the championship, they will always cross this hurdle.
