Legendary basketball manager

As the scoring leader so far this season, McGrady not only performed well in positional offense, but also ranked among the top three in the league in fast break points.

Therefore, when he rushes to the opponent's penalty area at high speed, every opponent will be ready.

For example, now, McGrady has Evans and Landry in front of him, and Cousins ​​​​who is chasing wildly behind him. The Kings players on both sides are also waiting for opportunities, ready to double-team at any time.

Just as they were preparing to meet McGrady's attack, t-mac flicked his wrist, made a no-look-pass, and passed the ball to Kevin Martin who followed up.

The latter opened his bow and took an arrow, and made another three-pointer...

"Shu~"

Basketball hollow into the net.

10:3, the Rockets continue to expand the score advantage!

The game was playing fiercely, and at the same time, in San Francisco, the general manager of the Warriors, in the other corner of the beautiful western part of the country, Larry Riley was also standing in front of the TV, watching the game closely.

When he saw Lawson and Martin appearing together in the Rockets' starting lineup, he immediately realized that this was Shen Fei wanting to show him the true strength of these two players.

Riley was instantly intrigued!

In the past two days, the top management of the Warriors put pressure on him again, asking him to find a way to revive the team as soon as possible.

But at present, the Warriors' lineup is like a pool of stagnant water, and Riley has no way to start.

The only way he can think of is to inject fresh blood into the team through trading, so as to generate a new chemical reaction...

In this way, it may be able to change the status quo of the Warriors!

As of now, the general manager of the Rockets, Shen Fei, is the only one who has expressed a clear transaction intention to him.

Therefore, Riley deliberately took time out today to watch the live broadcast of the Rockets game.

He just wanted to take a closer look at the quality of the two players Shen Fei put on the shelf - Lawson and Martin!

As a result, in the first few rounds of the game, both of them performed well.

Lawson not only showed the well-known breakthrough ability, but also played well when organizing.

In this game, Martin hardly dribbled.

Several of his shots were direct shots after catching the ball.

The hit rate is good, and the play is very efficient!

"If you really follow Shen Fei's previous suggestion and use Curry to trade Lawson and Martin...I can not only get an efficient pitcher, but also have a super sixth man who can shine in the transition period."

"If you can deal with some of the junk contracts in the laggard... that's really a good deal!"

Riley muttered to himself.

Just as he was thinking wildly, Lawson passed Evans' defense with a beautiful crossover and made a breakthrough layup.

However, the Rockets did not quickly widen the gap.

The rest of the Kings got a lot of easy shots as they double-teamed Evans hard.

Today, the two major shooters in the Kings - Udry and Casspi, both feel very good.

The two each hit two three-pointers to help the team bite the score.

"Today the Rockets are basically attacking around Lawson and Martin. Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming only make shots when necessary."

"But in this case, the Rockets still maintain a balance with the Kings who have been in good shape recently..."

"It seems that these two people, at least on the offensive end, have two brushes!"

Riley thought to himself.

Still, the game of basketball is very real.

After the Rockets replaced the offensive core with Martin and Lawson, although they maintained a good level, the team's temperament was far from being comparable to when Yao Mai led it.

As the game progressed, the Kings gradually gained a slight lead.

Fortunately, when there were 5 minutes left in the first quarter, the two sides began to replace substitute players one after another.

At this time, Roy replaced Martin on the field, Lawson also went off to rest, and handed over the organization task to McGrady.

Such a small change immediately changed the situation of the game!

First, McGrady suddenly pulled out his hand during the offense and hit a three-pointer.

Roy then receives a pass on the right.

After breaking into the inside, he made a signature change of hands layup and scored the ball.

This is not over yet!

In the next round, the yellow Mamba reciprocated, and after attracting double-teams, he suddenly threw the ball into the air...

The next moment, McGrady appeared out of nowhere, appearing in midair like a tiger descending a mountain!

"bang!"

A powerful dunk with the tomahawk gave the newly fledged Kings a slap in the face again.

7: 0!

In just 1 minute, the Rockets not only overtook the score, but also completely boosted morale!

In the stands, Ajiali was a little depressed, watching the field thoughtfully: "Daddy, it seems that we are still a certain distance away from the top teams in the league."

"No way, the Rockets are the favorites for this year's championship and belong to the top team in the league."

"Although we have improved, objectively speaking, we are still on the edge of the playoffs."

"If we want to go further, we have to wait. Cousins ​​​​and Evans continue to grow."

Ranadive said meaningfully.

............

The game was already in the middle of the second quarter when Lawson and Martin came on again.

After resting for such a long time, the two have fully recovered their physical strength.

After returning to the court, they continued their strong performance in the first quarter.

After some operations, Lawson scored 15 points and 5 assists at the end of the half, and 3 rebounds were also recorded.

Kevin - Martin also played well, scored a total of 10 points and 3 assists, also contributed 1 steal.

In addition, McGrady continued his strong performance this season, scoring 20 points in this game, leading the audience.

Under the outstanding performance of these people, the Rockets led the Kings by 70:60 at halftime by [-] points.

During the halftime break, the new Kings coach, Mike Malone, frantically cheered for the players in the locker room:

"Boys, you guys are amazing! You even had an inextricable fight against No. [-] in the league in the first half!"

"Now the difference is only 10 points, we have every chance to have a wave of upset."

As he spoke, he looked around and made eye contact with the players.

"Coach, they've been double-teaming me and throwing me out of rhythm."

Evans said dissatisfied.

In the previous few games, he averaged about 26 points per game.

But after playing halftime today, Evans' scoring has not yet reached double digits, which is obviously below the average level.

This inevitably affects the mentality of young people.

"Tyreke, you have to know that every superstar will encounter the situation of being double-teamed."

"The other side double-teams you so crazily, it's actually showing respect and fear for you."

"In a short time, I can't teach you how to break the double team, because it is too complicated, and you need to observe it yourself and accumulate experience."

"But I know that there is the simplest and most effective way to break the double team..."

Mike Malone stopped suddenly when he was talking about the key point, and made a fool of himself.

"What method, coach?!"

Evans asked, wide-eyed eager to learn.
