The 2002-03 season is the real “peak” season of McGrady. This season, McGrady has raised the continuously strengthened ability to hold the ball and attack in the past two seasons to the top level of the league, at the same time, the projection ability has also made great progress. In this season, McGrady’s average three-point shots exceeded the sum of the past two seasons of joining Magic (6 times on average), and the hit rate was of the career high, at the same time, the average number of free throws in the game was 9.7 times and the free throw hit rate was 79.2%, which also reached a new career high, and the overall hit rate was 45.7%, which was the highest in the career. In the whole regular season, McGrady scored 32.1 points on average, and all this was done under the condition that his playing time was almost unchanged. What was even more outrageous was that, having served so many offensive missions, McGrady’s average number of mistakes this season only increased slightly from 2.5 to 2.6, and at the same time he could send 5.5 assists…… This made McGrady almost impossible to defend. However, although McGrady played an incomparable glorious season, the magic record still lingered. Grant Hill played 29 games better than last year, but he still reimbursed the season early. As the insider of the team’s destiny, there was still no solution. After ewing’s retirement + grant reimbursement, rivers once could only let sean kamp and audinger (yes, the foreign aid of the beijing team later) co-launch. In the end, it also forced the team to trade the only role player with trading value, and Mike Miller, who is also McGrady’s friend. Before being traded, Mike Miller averaged 16.4 points per game, which was the team mate with the highest average score since McGrady joined Magic. In the first game after he was traded, furious McGrady scored 52 points in three sessions, and Rivers, who was scared to death, said, “If we can, we should trade a friend of McGrady before every match”. But having said that, Mike Miller’s deal did help the Magic, the No. 4 show Gudeng transferred from the grizzly bear well supported the team’s insider-in the first 12 games when he joined Magic, Gudeng scored 15.5 points, 10.2 rebounds, 1.1 blocks, it helped magic to reverse the decline in 8 wins and 4 losses during this period, and even threatened the battle for the best rookie of Yao Ming, Stoudemire and Karon Butler. However, the 25-year-old Croatian “rookie” girisek who came with him averaged 14.3 points, almost playing the role of Miller Pingdi. Since the gap has been opened with the eighth-place opponent, and the gap between the top teams in the east is very small, magic has retained some strength in the last few games of the regular season. After the calculation of each other, Magic finally ranked eighth in the east, against the first piston in the east. For magic, this was a pretty good result-because Ben Wallace of the piston hurt his left knee in the match against Spurs on April 6, when he thought he would stop for at least half a month, it is likely to affect the performance of the first round of the playoffs. * * * * * * * Facing the pressure of the scorer, Ben Wallace finally decided to return in advance. Before the competition, the media reported that his physical condition had only recovered 80%, while before the start of the broadcast, Big Ben’s knees were still covered with thick gauze. At the beginning of the first attack, Big Ben ate Gooden’s hot pot-which obviously showed that he was in a very bad state. However, although the Big Ben was in general state, with him guarding the inside line, the piston easily dragged the competition into the familiar meat grinder rhythm-under Carlisle’s arrangement, michael curry, a front defense expert who only got 3 points in front of the game, was ready to make up for the position at any time. Mcgrady seemed to be put into a cage when he just started the game, and the first three attacks ended in failure, very uncomfortable. This ball is at the end of the first section. It can be seen that the hand knife in the library still has one hand. The magic was not played well, and the piston was not much better. Because of sufficient psychological preparation, the defense of magic was very tenacious, resulting in extremely ugly scenes in the first few minutes of the game. The hit rate of both sides was so low that they didn’t exceed 50%. Throughout the first quarter, the piston played Hamilton’s 5-shot 1 in the playoffs for the first time, and it was even more outrageous than lupus’s 6-shot 0. This hit rate is outrageous. At this time, the game was like two people fighting in the water. Who first exposed his head from the water and who took the lead. As a superstar, McGrady took the lead in finding his own way…… After the first three attacks with the ball failed, he began to find the opportunity to move empty-handed and other means, and the iron barrel array of the piston gradually became invalid. In the whole first quarter, mcgrady scored 10 points in 5 of 7 shots, which was the only player on the field with a shooting rate of more than 40%, plus the active player under the basket, like gudeng who had taken drugs, magic also led by 5 points. After the ball, the camera was given to LeBlanc who watched the ball on the court. In the second quarter, the rivers serviceman, who held the leading edge, was very bold. He took all the three main fire points, garriti, mcgrady and gooden, and instead let the two small defenders of armstrong and whitney take hunter (cainiao center) + Camp + Burke (29-year-old Cainiao center, the first person in Irish basketball) played three towers in three internal lines. Interestingly, this unexpected three-tower effect is actually very good. You may not believe it. During that time, the attack axis of magic was actually fat to almost disfigured camp-although the running and jumping ability of the old rain man was almost abandoned, however, his experience in dealing with the ball, solid blocking and dismantling, medium distance projection and greasy turning still made him show a lot of operations. Magic did not lose points at this stage when McGrady came off. Unfortunately, this ball was crossed the bridge. It must be directly deducted when I was young. However, the opposite piston team played a bit nervous. Looking at the 20% hit rate in the first quarter, Carlisle angrily sent the four starters to the bench to watch the play (leaving only Cliff Robinson), on the bench, gangster Williamson (the previous best sixth person) Joan Barry, and Turkish Cainiao Oku, I hope to use the projection of these people to relieve the first constipation attack that is piled in the low position but can’t get in. However, Carlisle, who lost the initiative, was short of chess at this time. When Rivers made McGrady back into battle, the squad of the piston could not match the intensity completely, so the famous scene was born…… To be fair, although he contributed this wonderful dunk, McGrady did not play well in the second quarter. However, due to the active performance of Guden and Kamp, the Magic team has been playing against the piston, gooden unexpectedly suppressed the Big Ben completely in the first half, and old camp even found a chance to buckle a basket. Gooden is too active Big brush Large hat Williamson No kidding, really · completely turned over the big book Camp dunk! Bounce a brick…… With the help of these people, mcgrady actually got an eight-and-a-half break in the first half, which was crucial to magic, because it meant that rivers no longer had to worry about McGrady’s physical problems in the second half as in the previous two years, and could use it three or four times to death. During the intermission, several guests were discussing the newly modified playoff system. After the first round was changed from 3 wins in 5 games to 4 wins in 7 games, everyone thought that the possibility of explosion was reduced, but at that time, the main concern of these commentators and guests was not magic and the piston, but the next-door forest wolf and the lakers-the fourth west forest wolf led by garnett at that time had a home court advantage, and experts expressed their regret one after another: if it was last year, maybe you still have a chance to burst into cold (forest wolf: hey, obviously I am leading the record!) In the second half, the piston changed its defensive strategy and began to attack mcgrady-in fact, carlisle let the first start sit on the bench in the second quarter, in order to accumulate strength and give mcgrady strength in the second half. The whole third quarter, he only let the replacement add up to less than 2 minutes-at the same time, carlisle also tried to use the joint defense that had just been lifted to limit mcgrady. Bag Clip McGrady Typical joint defense station But for magic and McGrady, this kind of situation has become common for them. Although they find the quasi-centered piston (mainly Cliff Robinson’s dislocation attack, others are still not allowed, for example, Billups-after typing his data in the third section, 1 of the poor 11) once reduced the score difference to 1 point, but it was soon poured down by McGrady’s dry three points. McGrady’s assists break joint defense Continuous dry drawing In the final decisive battle, the piston originally relied on atkins’s three consecutive points (including the three points in the last moment of the third quarter) to raise the momentum, but the defense was slightly loose, mcGrady immediately returned a wave of single players 10-0 to double digits. Qiongbarry can’t prevent McGrady At this time, the attack of the piston can only be barely supported by making fouls under the hard basket, but quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. A large number of fouls of magic eventually lead to unsustainable defensive quality, however, Billups, who had no feel in the game, seized the opportunity to break through the game and brush free throws. At the same time, the attack of magic finally lost power-the piston’s isolated tactics against mcgrady finally played an effect. Under the binding of staged bag clip and joint defense, mcgrady lost contact with his teammates, gudeng, who was extremely active in the first half, was finally completely trapped by Big Ben. In his life, he remembered that after the floating shot almost wiped the big fingertip, McGrady failed four consecutive shots, and the piston nipped the difference to 1 minute before the final scene. Big Book almost covered this ball Comparison of free throws between the two sides McGrady was killed in the second half. At the critical moment, mcgrady broke into the inside line to kill. Although cliff robinson seemed to have completed the cap first from the playback, the referee blew it, mcgrady didn’t waste the opportunity like playing the wasp G1 last year, with two free throws hitting steadily-magic grabbed the home advantage as billups lost two points quickly. McGrady scored 43 points with an ultra-high efficiency of 15 out of 28, breaking the Magic’s young pioneer team history playoff personal scoring record, 28 of which came from the second half. Although his teammate Gooden turned off in the second half, the whole game still made contributions of 18 points and 16 rebounds. Most importantly, with his help, magic didn’t suffer too much on the rebound-this is probably the key to magic’s final defeat. The hit rate of the piston is 31.2%, and 7 of Hamilton 17 is already the most efficient. Others are 3 of Billups 16 and 7 of Robinson 18…… However, among the 47 penalties imposed by the piston, Billups Hamilton and Big Ben respectively punished 19, 12 and 8 penalty baskets. * * * * * * After the first match, the piston held a meeting. They thought that the team in the first match showed a lighter performance and played too simply in the attack, underestimated the Magic’s will to resist, especially the defense determination in the low position. In addition, the piston concluded that the team’s defense strategy for magic was appropriate. In the last match, even if the shooting rate of the opponent was 16 percent age points higher than that of himself (47 percent to 31 percent), the traditional weak rebound was almost even with himself, plus McGrady went away for more than 40 years, but he only won 5 points in the end…… So as long as the piston plays normally, the advantage still lies in me. The piston thinks so, and it is also executed in this way. When G2 comes up, Hamilton first unlocks the limit of 5 in a single section 7 and cuts 13 points, and Billy is also 3 in 6, completely out of the haze of 1 in the last half 11. At the same time, Big Ben found himself, with a single section of 5 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks, and repeatedly directly turned the last lively Gudeng to the ground with his body. Suncha fire Big Ben’s rage As for mcgrady’s defense, the piston continued to adopt the bag clip + joint defense strategy that was used in the second half of the last game, trying to isolate mcgrady as much as possible and let him lose contact with the whole team (in some rounds, they even used BOX-1). As a result, in the first quarter, mcgrady, although the efficiency of getting 8 points in his 6 shots and 3 was not low, the magic team lost its rhythm and was directly taught to be a human being by the piston wave 31-14. One person holding the ball opposite four people linkage (final snatching) This kind of continuous breakthrough can’t be thrown into the empty space after hitting the human wall…… Just everyday Typical box-1 station…… As a result, magic can’t be thrown in and still eat counterattack Yes, the piston is indeed a strong team. They did not misjudge the strength comparison between themselves and magic. In the second quarter, the piston pulled away the score very quickly and took a rest at mcgrady’s end until they played again, the score difference was quickly pulled to 22 points…… At this time, Rivers frowned and found that things were not simple. After the pause, he drew a few dry tactics 1-4 to pull McGrady out and patted McGrady on the shoulder: you come! Then McGrady nodded and rushed into the field, entering seven in a row. One on the left and one on the right Quick attack one Draw two more by borrowing Gudeng’s human wall Hold the ball to the front court to dry out three points, and then face the big book’s cover hard (interference ball) In essence, this section can be said to be McGrady alone vs the whole team of the piston. In a single section, McGrady made 7 shots of 8 shots. During this period, he was even too lazy to pass the ball, the way to play is to shake off the defender before the iron barrel of the piston is closed and formed, and cut 16 points in a single section with a gesture of “you can’t resist me at all. But the problem was that in these two games, the support given by his teammates was equivalent to none. Although the piston was beaten badly enough, they carried out carlisle’s tactical intention of isolating mcgrady well, mcGrady didn’t even have an assist after half-time. In the scene, the most active and satisfying performance of the Magic team may be old camp…… Dunk Protective Cover Foul making However, with McGrady’s efforts, the magic was not defeated by the piston in advance. The half-time score of magic was 40-54 and barely alive. Hamilton, who performed best on the piston, scored 21 points. On the piston side, Hamilton completely broke girisek During the intermission, the broadcaster made two suggestions to the piston in the second half: 1. Control McGrady’s ball-free Attack; 2. Control McGrady’s ball-holding attack. However, Rivers gave a simpler counteraction method for these two suggestions: From the beginning, McGrady was allowed to hold the ball and lead the ball directly to the front court. However, it is absurd that this beast logic is actually true for magic and McGrady. Play the ball directly from the back court to the front court twice in a row McGrady plans to be replaced directly by rivers on serve, and continue to fight hard on receive the ball (then the nose is beaten and bleeding) In the third quarter, McGrady still didn’t have any assists, but he scored 14 points in a single quarter and beat Michael Curry, who was defending him, to four fouls, except for magic, he only got 7 points by picking up leaks from the second attack, while others all got 0 points. Although the tactics were successful, carlisle was still very unhappy because he was badly beaten by mcgrady. In desperation, he put the 22-year-old new show at the end of the team’s bench in front of mcgrady. As a result, the unexpected effect appeared. The rookie with long face and arms came up and immediately got the hat to mcgrady’s dry pull. Then he stuck to mcgrady’s breakthrough and helped big ben stop mcgrady’s conversion attack. After being fouled by McGrady, he recovered the venue with an offensive foul…… Dry pull the hat, breakthrough is not good Completely entangled Detroit fans who knew the ball immediately understood it. They cheered for the rookie. Carlisle touched his chin at this time…… Does this rookie seem interesting? Then I’ll leave the fourth quarter to you to play! So in the fourth quarter, Prince directly replaced Curry as the team’s first start, playing for 12 minutes. To be fair, in the fourth quarter, Prince did not completely defend McGrady. If one-on-one orders are really required for McGrady to fight, Prince will also give them for nothing. Armstrong often covered McGrady, which was an early cover for a small man in NBA. However, the existence of Prince is a psychological hint for Magic players: expect McGrady to flee to save your lives alone? No chance! His hands will also be cold! I got him! He is too late! Although he could shake off the distance, he could even reach out his hand. Can’t get rid of it (still Armstrong’s cover) Intermittent bag clip, can only pass Therefore, in the fourth quarter, although mcgrady still scored 8 points, the others in the magic were all given for nothing. Although rivers made some arrangements, for example, let mcgrady only make transit, armstrong and girisek launched an attack on the other side, but the result was that the two men totalled 6 out of 0, and the game returned to the rhythm two years ago. At the same time, Ben Wallace reaped all the rebounds, and Billups refilled the gun. It was almost impossible to narrow down. At the last minute, the piston led by 12 points, and the game was over. McGrady scored 46 points from a new playoff record in the 26th round of the match (the only one in the team scored double), but his contact with his teammates was completely cut off, with only one assist in the fourth quarter, there were 7 other mistakes. The team used Miller to exchange girisek and Gudeng for a total of 3 out of 20. However, hamilton on the piston side scored 30 points, and the big ben declared a return to the state with 13 points and 16 rebounds. The magic game had 17 fewer rebounds than the opponent. It was a matter of course to lose…… * * * * * * * Before the G3 game, McGrady encouraged his teammates to attack more actively in the dressing room: “You also play by yourself and put yourself into the game.” McGrady said: “I have my own way to score more points, you don’t need to look at me before every ball and every tactic starts.” Indeed, the result of the last match has clearly proved one point: not activating teammates, tired McGrady can’t beat the opposite side. But after the opening, the Magic still couldn’t enter the rhythm. McGrady didn’t take the initiative to attack the ball, while others quickly made four consecutive mistakes in 3 minutes, the piston easily pulled the difference to 15-6…… Furious Rivers called a pause. He shouted at the players: Please! Stop leaking Hamilton! Please! (please! don’t leave hamiton! please!) The King of the investment center came up and even the investment company was in the middle. Then it finally turned into a typical Rivers suspension without eggs. Hamilton scored continuously in a wave of operations at the end of the first quarter. As a result, after the first section, the piston led 29-19, hamilton cut 13 points in a single quarter, while McGrady has been suppressing the desire to attack, with only 4 points in the first quarter of 4 shots and 2 shots. In the second section, Carlisle brought Prince up to deal with McGrady, which seemed to make McGrady a little uncomfortable, as soon as McGrady came up, he scored 7 points on Prince’s head (one breakthrough, one three points and one foul), forcing Carlisle to adjust the lineup quickly. However, mcgrady was probably not angry yet. When he paused and came back, he immediately shot a three-point in the library with a dragon stick to his face, and the difference was reduced to one point. For magic, this kind of competition rhythm is the good news-in the first section, mcgrady suppressed the desire to attack and made his teammates adapt to the intensity. After everyone started to come out, he began to integrate into the rhythm. The second quarter was not finished. Mcgrady had assisted four times, while the last blind gudeng and armstrong had scored 9 out of 11, and 20 points had been scored in half. However, due to the initiative of magic and the strength of the audience on the spot, the referee was inevitably affected. McGrady gave Big Ben a large hat before the end of the half, but in fact this ball should be blown to interfere with the ball. The half-time magic was only 2 points behind. In the third quarter, the average score was 14 points after the transfer, but in the first two playoff games, girisek, who had only 6 points in total, finally found the feeling and scored 10 points in a single section. However, after he, Gudeng and Armstrong opened the hand feeling respectively, the isolated defense of the piston became no longer valid, and McGrady could even remove it by blocking his teammates, let teammates attract bag clip to create opportunities for themselves to play-which was unimaginable in the previous two matches. At this time, the attitude of the piston who attacked with the guard was broken. Hamilton, who killed the four sides in the first half, was completely inaccurate in the third quarter, only 5 shots and 1 shot, in the confusion, the team even ran out of the honey tactics of ben wallace’s mid-distance jump shot air ball, and the defensive end was easily repaired by mcgrady with the help of his teammates. At the end of the third quarter, Magic led by 10 points. McGrady was very happy with a smile. When receiving the interview at the end of the festival, he couldn’t help opening his mouth: “When I am in good condition, how can I shoot, the opponent can only pray for my kindness. When one-on-one, I will not miss any opportunity to attack.” I don’t know if I heard this interview. In the fourth quarter, McGrady was directly won by the other side by a fastening ring-this is the playoffs, this is the fourth quarter, this is the time when superstars accept the game, the opponent cares so much about you, hee hee ha. After Carlisle’s purging, the fourth quarter of the piston regained its discipline, and the strength of the defensive end increased linearly. The Magic team lost power again at this time. No one in the team could hit the shot except McGrady (the only two goals in the whole fourth quarter of magic came from McGrady). More often, they could only gain points by free throws. However, the attack of magic was poor, and the attack of the piston was not much better. The two teams returned to the iron strike mode of the first quarter of the first game. HAMILTON 1 in the third quarter 5, 1 in the fourth quarter 6, billups is invisible directly on the market. In contrast, it is not as active as the desperate Armstrong and Gooden. Finally, the time was on the Magic side, and the Orlando people still held the leading edge. After the game, McGrady, who scored 29 points, hugged the old buddy Armstrong. You know, this is the first time in three years that their partners have achieved a big score in the playoffs. “As a single-core team, it was really crazy to hear McGrady say those words before the match,” Armstrong, who scored 20 points silently (7 out of 8 in the fourth quarter) after the game, he said, “he is our boss. He led us here, and we will help him continue to rush forward.” * * * * * * * * At the beginning of G4, mcgrady stood at jump ball again. A year ago, he came to the playoffs against the hornets because the team was short of a major general, but now he stands at the beginning of jump ball, representing his determination: with 2-1 leading, he will lead the team to victory. However, mcgrady acted too hastily this time. In the first quarter, he hurt his left hand finger in an attack. Affected by this, he only made one of four shots in the first quarter, on the contrary, billups of the opposite piston suddenly broke up and cut 16 points in a single section, leading the piston by 10 points. But in the second quarter, the attack power failure of the piston came as scheduled-although the team was well integrated and the depth of the bench was excellent (the bench scored the first in the league regular season), on the defensive end, they have a mature mechanism to deal with McGrady (although the effect is not necessarily very good), but they really lack talent on the offensive end. The team often depends on Williamson on the bench, joan barry and oku scored points in the conversion of offensive tempo, but in the face of rivers who killed mcgrady, the three men played, which meant they were scored. Mcgrady, whose fingers were swollen in the first section, adjusted his state in this section. He scored 11 points in a single section and blew williamson, an important bench attacker of the piston, onto the bench, carlisle did not dare to let Prince play in the face of weak attack. He could only consume McGrady with infinite wheel racing (the commentary on the spot joked: the piston almost took ranbill to deal with him) — But this gave other magic players the chance to fire. Magic played 35-21 in a single section, surpassing the score at one stroke. At the beginning of the third quarter, the score was still anxious, but the problem of piston power failure was still not solved. In the first quarter, billups, who had cut 16 points, made a total of 10 shots in the second and third quarters, and 65-61 won the lead, the piston was hit by magic for a wave of 18-0 counterattack, but fell 14 points behind to enter the last quarter. Assist Gudeng take off The help board is not a joke. The movement of Big Ben after McGrady held the ball obviously gave Gudeng room for rebounding. Take a look at curry’s hand. The trick of eye-covering defense was very popular in the league before. Another round of eye-covering defense shot In the fourth quarter, the mentality of the piston has gone wrong, and the defense has begun to loosen. Even if McGrady overdrafts 4 shots in the fourth quarter, but under the patch of Guden, Armstrong and girizek, the piston has been unable to wipe the bisection. One minute before the end of the game, McGrady helped girisek to succeed tossing, and the game completely lost its suspense. The defense of the piston has collapsed. Amsterdam God patch knife, 6th of all 6th McGrady assists girisek tossing and ends the game. In the whole game, McGrady got 27 points, 9 assists and 5 steals. Although the attack efficiency was not high due to injury (7 of the 19th Middle School), McGrady led his teammates in this game. After the game, McGrady said: “We are all very confident in playing. We need this confidence in this series…… Of course, we can’t relax too much now, and there is still a game to play!” On the piston side, Hamilton 11 Middle School 2 and Billups 20 Middle School 3, but it is worth mentioning that Big Ben’s physical condition completely returned to normal, and he got 13 points, 24 rebounds and 7 steals in a single game, the piston has suppressed more than 5 magic tricks on the backboard for three consecutive games…… If at this time last year, the Magic had been completed in black eight, but unfortunately this year, they still have to win one. * * * * * * * “It feels good to enter the second round”-after leading 3-1, McGrady told the media. And this sentence ignited the anger of the piston team. (PS: We have repeatedly searched the source of this sentence, but because of the long history, we actually did not find the text link or video reported by this sentence in 2003. Most of the similar content has been published many years later, and there is also the risk of corruption. However, in an article in the Houston Chronicle on April 20, 2005, we found the sentence “It feels good to get in the second round, it’s just that the speaker was not McGrady, but Joan Barry. At that time, the Rockets were about to play the first round in the Mavericks, joan barry, who had already made teammates in rocket and yao mai, repeated mcgrady’s words in an interview. He said at that time that he would tell mcgrady not to make the same mistake again. In the report of this article, McGrady said to the reporter, “I was too young and excited at that time…… 3-1 lead, I thought the series was almost over…… Looking back now, yes, I am very embarrassed.” To sum up, we decided to adopt the expression “McGrady said he felt good in the second round” in the article, instead of the two widely circulated but contradictory statements, “I am already considering my opponent in the second round” or “we have entered the second round at this time last year”) Before returning to detroit, carlisle held a meeting with the players in orlando directly. He said that the team had made mcgrady too relaxed on the defensive end in the past few games and had to attack him actively, make him more tired. In addition, Carlisle’s teaching assistant team reminded Carlisle through data analysis (Carlisle was the first coach to add data analysis to the coach team in NBA) that Prince’s defense of McGrady may be better than others, maybe we can let him play one more dozen. Before the start of G5, carlisle simply read a local orlando newspaper in the dressing room: “obviously, magic is a better team than the piston…… The piston should be the worst in the East in recent ten years” Can’t bear it! They must be cleaned up! Under the opening music of eminem’s “8 miles” and the cheering of the audience, the faces of the piston players were full of murderous flames, and they, who had stood on the edge of the cliff, showed unprecedented defensive strength. Magic players are very uncomfortable with this, and mcgrady will encounter bag clip as long as he holds the ball. After mcgrady holds the ball, it is difficult to form an opportunity to directly fengshui ball the attack, except for passing the ball. On the piston side, Carlisle considered that the defense problem of the second squad was often caught and beaten by rivers, so he directly abandoned Williamson, just let prince come up to top his time (it happened that curry was directly beaten by mcgrady for 3 fouls in the first quarter and couldn’t play). So under the iron barrel of the piston, the hit rate of the first section of magic was less than 30%, and the difference of two digits was directly sent out. Mcgrady only scored 6 points in 2 of 4. However, he absolutely did not expect that this was the most efficient section of his attack in Detroit today. In the second quarter, the piston’s defense against other Magic teammates was loose, but he still adopted a close-encirclement attitude towards McGrady, and occasionally McGrady got the chance to isolate singles outside, prince’s long arm blockade made his dry jump shot completely inaccurate. Most breakthrough attempts have been resolved by bag clip. The one-on-one jumper was stuck by prince In the whole second quarter, McGrady only scored 6 points in 9 shots and 3 shots, without even a free throw. McGrady turned off, and other players of Magic should not count on it. The score difference was once pulled to 24 points. You can only get rid of Prince’s entanglement by rushing in to grab rebounds. In the third quarter, Prince came up and took a rest. Facing Curry, McGrady came up easily with two tossing + assists and immediately reduced the score difference to single digits. But that’s the end of McGrady’s performance in this game. After Prince appeared again, the players on the magic field suddenly seemed not to play, and they were blown out by the piston for a 14-0 climax, mcgrady had only one shot and one mistake during this period, and basically couldn’t touch the ball. What made the magic more uncomfortable was that after that, prince, who was originally only a top defensive soldier without any offensive task, also began to score continuously. In the fourth quarter, he scored 8 points in the sudden outcast, directly refresh the score record of career playoffs. The score difference is always kept at 20 +, and Rivers has no other way, so he can only accept negative results. Mcgrady only scored 19 points and 8 rebounds in 8 of the 20 games, while armstrong, who was in the last 6 shots, returned only one of the 7 characters; Big ben on the piston side scored 20 + rebounds for the second time in a row, cutting 14 points, 21 rebounds, 4 steals the perfect data of 3 caps, and what is more horrible is that under his defense, the whole game of magic only scored in the penalty area for 5 times, and two of them came from mcgrady’s replenishment. * * * * * * * After the piston won the fifth game, the situation of the series became subtle-the defeat of the opponent in this game made magic lack the confidence to rob 7, so the G6 back to home became an early life-and-death battle. At this time, the piston was actually a little weak. In the past five years, they lost 12 consecutive games away from home in the playoffs. Magic was the famous home dragon of the league at that time. The kings and mavericks who ranked in the top three in the regular season lost here, even the healthy OK group was defeated by mcgrady’s team here. The start magic really got the upper hand. McGrady was in a good state and shot tossing in a row. Carlisle paused quickly when he saw a bad situation. At this time, a person suddenly turned out, completely disrupting the Magic battle plan…… In the matches before the series, Billups, as the main control of the piston, scored 16.2 points and the regular season, but the hit rate was only. In 5 games, Billups only scored 4 three points, which was also one of the main reasons for the piston’s attack constipation. However, after the pause came back, Billups suddenly changed into a position, facing the defense of Jacques warn and Armstrong, scoring 4 points and 18 points in a single section, the momentum of the game was reversed directly (before the suspension, he also scored a three point, 6 in a single section 8, 5 in a three point 5), and the first section of the piston 30-21 led. As soon as he came up, Rivers directly gave up the regular rotation and simply asked McGrady to fight to the end. The soldiers came to cover the water. Carlisle saw that the recruitment and removal had arranged Prince’s personal defense-but this time the effect was not very good, mcGrady came up and played Prince two in a row, which also caused Prince’s continuous foul. Carlisle had to replace him. In the second section, magic was regarded as a common goal. 1.1 points reduced the score. In fact, although other players were not good at their abilities, rivers and McGrady did their best to create opportunities for teammates and run tactics around them, because everyone knows that McGrady can’t win alone. After winning three games, McGrady’s teammates scored 63 points and lost two games with 39.5 points. The bigger difference is the hit rate. However, whether it is Gooden vs Big Ben, Armstrong vs Billups, or girisek vs Hamilton-magic can’t find a counterpoint advantage, But there is no way to do this level…… Besides, the piston was the first in the bench scoring league in the regular season. After the second lineup was replaced, the magic was even more irresistible. For example, the second magic was originally hard to reduce the score difference to 3 points by McGrady’s sudden penalty, however, the replacement center Hunter came up and sent a 3+1 first and then made a mistake. The difference immediately came to 9 points. I can play pliable temperament this time Next time, I will directly put it down with a ball. After this ball, McGrady’s left leg pain will be treated. Hunter gave his head away continuously, and the angry old Armstrong stamped his feet. McGrady: gradually lose patience, hit the ball and eat T Before the second half, Rivers broke the players’ mouths again and poured chicken soup into them: “They can’t stop us! Protect the backboard! Impact rim! Show your determination! Nothing can stop us from winning this game! No one can stop us from winning this game! No! No! No!” After the chicken soup, Rivers came up with a way to let McGrady defend against the Billups who had gone wild before to cool him down (Billups shot the Magic guard in the first half and got 26 points, then, in the third section 3, 0 single section is only 3 points-when fighting stag and Wasp in the first two years, Rivers used McGrady to defend Kassel and Barron Davis respectively, which was considered to have reappeared yesterday). But McGrady had just left the front line, and Williamson, who was DNP by Carlisle, began to make waves under the piston basket again. Lock Billups and others will miss it Then teammates receive the ball mistakes…… You can obviously feel that McGrady is already a little frustrated when the score difference reaches 14 points, but before the end of the third quarter, he still finished stealing the dunk in one breath and played a big book of 2+1, reducing the score difference to 9 points. The dunk was not deducted by foul, a little discouraged Snatch Big Book 2+1 At this time, the game seemed to go back to the past. Last year, Rivers couldn’t let McGrady watch Barron Davis in the fourth quarter because of physical factors, this time he couldn’t let McGrady defend Billups in the fourth quarter (besides, McGrady had no rest in the first three quarters). Time stood on the side of the piston, and the cap of Big Ben directly set the remaining game time. Three minutes before the final game, Rivers began to cut the Big Ben, but this could only be the last struggle of magic, as McGrady’s jump shot was blocked by Big Ben again, the game was completely over. This ball explained at quilt that McGrady’s left leg injury made his jump shot seriously insufficient. McGrady scored 37 points (14 out of 17 free throws) and 11 rebounds in the 11th of the 28th round of the game. Except for him, the most scored were girizek with 12 points and Gudeng with 11 points and 12 rebounds. On the piston side, Big Ben scored 20 points, 17 rebounds, 4 steals 5 caps, Billups scored 40 points (11 points on the final free throw in the fourth quarter), Hamilton scored 22 points. When talking about the next seven-point robbery, Lao Baali made a knife to the media: “You know, he didn’t win the 46-point game before (G2) Hey Hey Hey Hey” However, Rivers made the problem a personal grudge. He was very angry after the game (because he thought the referee’s punishment was very problematic) and said to the media: “Detroit had better play hard on Sunday, otherwise, they will go home (Detroit better play theory (behinds) off on Sunday or they’re going home). I firmly believe this.” * * * * * * * Although Rivers had a hard mouth, in fact he was already flustered. Before G7, he decided to change the array and put all the fire on the first line, play with the small-sized lineup (Gooden-garriti-McGrady-girisek-Armstrong) and the opposite. But the problem is that Garretti, the top four gunner, was in a bad state in the playoffs due to injuries (the previous six games were only 3 points-he had 10.7 points in the regular season), in order to live up to the coach’s expectations in the G7, garriti received a series of emergency treatments before the game. The reporter before the game said, he saw that the doctor took out an 8-inch long needle and gave cortisone to the injured pelvic position of Garretti to relieve pain (in fact, it was closed), which was really admirable. Obviously, Rivers was worried about the failure of G5 in Detroit, and his tactical arrangement also appeared at both ends of the Rat in G7. in the opening 3 minutes, Armstrong was scored by Billups in a row. Rivers waved his hand and changed McGrady to Billups. Do you still remember Carlisle’s requirements for the players before G5? “You can’t let McGrady be too easy on the defensive end.” rivers obviously did this as a way to surrender himself. Carlisle gave Billups a look when seeing it. Billups’s understanding of the attack began to take McGrady around the cover continuously, if you turn enough, you can only pass the ball to find a teammate-yes, medias can prevent Billups, but this strategy makes the front line defense of magic useless. In addition, there is no big center in magic, and the piston can attack easily continuously, the difference is immediately opened. The inside line can be torn apart by two simple covers. Garriti’s internal line can’t deal with the transfer of the piston at all. Looking at Gooden, I was dizzy when I explained the defense to my teammates. The defense collapsed, and the magic was not in a good state in the attack. Mcgrady seemed to have been disturbed by the rhythm. His attack was a mess, and his hand feeling was extremely poor. If it weren’t for the excellent state of guden, he would have entered the second attack in a row, magic may not even be able to hold on to the first section. The status is extremely poor. You can only rely on Gudeng to save your life. Eat large hat of the Big Book (then rely on Gudeng to retrieve the venue) In the first section, you can’t get into the highlights (basically, you can kill the top people…… No way) In the second section, Rivers switched to play, allowing McGrady to score by walking empty-handed, and the piston quickly adjusted to deal with it in the form of joint defense. Rivers also changed at the defensive end at this time. He deliberately gave Prince some space, but he was shot directly by Prince. Magic Changes to joint defense in one second, McGrady has been made impetuous Watching Prince turn around with the defender, he didn’t believe in evil, but he continued to be shot through. At this time, the magic behind double digits has already retreated. The only good game on the offensive end is gudeng who has already taken 14 points and 11 rebounds at half time (while mcgrady only got 4 out of 14 and got 10 points and 3 assists). The piston side blossomed everywhere. Although Billups was only 6 shots and 2 shots after McGrady relieve a garrison, it relied on free throw gain (7 in 7, five of them were playing Gooden and Whitney in conversion attack and dislocation.) they scored 19 points at half time, 14 points for Prince and 12 points for Hamilton. In the third quarter, Big Ben quickly gave two large hat to the lively Gudeng to set the tone for the game, and the last active fire point of magic was blocked. After being hit 2+1 by Billups, McGrady showed a very depressed attitude. At this time, the score was 23 points, explaining and commenting: he seemed to be exhausted. In the fourth quarter, rivers was still motivating the players. The magic of being a doctor in the dead refused to give up the last section, but when mcgrady hit rim in a row, the commentary noticed the difference: “if this is in G1 and G2, he must be able to deduct it…… The state of him and magic is completely different from that time” Finally, Prince nailed the coffin plate to magic. When McGrady reduced the score difference to 13 points, Prince first hit girizek on his back, and then sealed McGrady’s desperate dry pull, the game is almost over at this moment. At the last 3 minutes 18 seconds, McGrady entered the last three points, and Rivers replaced them. Magic and McGrady announced their surrender, and the game was completely over…… McGrady and Kemp played and forced a smile, but one minute later, McGrady still showed a sad look in the laughter of the piston team and the happy singing of the audience. Pretend not to care G7, under the heavy pressure, McGrady was completely pulled out. Only 7 out of the 24 shots, teammate Gudeng 20 points 17 rebounds gilisek 16 points has given him a good help, but this time McGrady himself collapsed, his physical fitness, his spirit, his left leg injured in G6, and his heroic words all became a sad footnote at this moment. “Before the series starts, we think we must perform perfectly before we can have a chance,” McGrady said after the game. “But we are 3-1 ahead, and it is already there……” Rivers comforted McGrady: “It is wrong to put all this on him.” Gooden also said, “We can’t expect McGrady to play Superman every night.” McGrady was already incoherent at this time: “The better team won…… I am just a human being. I can’t perform perfectly every night. Fatigue is also a factor……” The series ended eventually. In 7 games, McGrady averaged 31.7 points 6.7 rebounds 4.7 assists 2.0 steals, with a hit rate of%, the best performance of teammates was Gudeng, who averaged 14.0 points and 12.7 rebounds in a game. No one of the other teammates scored double points in a game. On the piston side, Billups scored 22.6 points, Hamilton scored 21.9 points, Big Ben scored 11.1 points, 17.9 rebounds 3.1 snatched 3.3 caps. Billups said: “We are very proud that we can win this round of competition. Many people gave up us when we were 1-3 behind, but we didn’t.” “We don’t have much time to celebrate,” Billups said finally. * * * * * * * * For McGrady, this series is the most painful event in his career. If NBA did not modify the competition system in this year, if McGrady himself did not say those stupid words after G4, if Grant Hill could play even one series, if Billups did not suddenly burst out inexplicably, if the team did not deal with Stoudemire’s No. 9 pick in the contract of getting rid of Otello last year, if Garretti was in good health, if G6 did not hurt his left leg…… If only one of these happens, McGrady will probably lead the Magic team to complete the feat of black eight, leaving a more wonderful mark in history, the tragic evaluation of the Virgin in the first round will have nothing to do with him from now on, and the second round against Iverson will also be a very wonderful duel…… But if it can only be if, if it doesn’t happen, if it blows its wings, it will completely change the future of NBA. So in our timeline, the piston defeated magic and then defeated 76 people (Prince became the first of the piston after this round), then a piece of equipment called “Larry Brown” was knocked out. In summer, the piston was upgraded again. Rashid Wallace was added in the season, and then the Lakers F4 were defeated, completed the restoration of the Legion of bad children. All qualitative changes come from the first round of plot twist. But for McGrady, this is all that can be changed. No matter how time and space changed at last, the Magic team had no room to operate in the summer of 2003. I’m afraid the 35-year-old veteran Armstrong will still return to Charlotte and McGrady to go their separate ways because of homesickness, in The Free Man market in 2003, magic without chips was hard to do. The middle-class signing Zhu Wan-Howard and low-paid supplement Tyron-Lu were still their few choices (Arenas, Odom, andre Miller can’t sign these big-name magic tricks. The most expensive ones that are similar to Howard are the flow of olavocandy). See, all this is no different. In reality, Gudeng in the second season thoroughly exposed his weakness that he could only rob the board and could not defend, and Zhu Wan-Howard, who was strong and weak, could not play the role of guest low protector at all, after a wave of exaggerated 19 consecutive defeats, McGrady completely lost confidence in the team, and then began to brush points regardless of everything. In March, 2004, Maddie, who was desperate and broke the jar, took advantage of the hot hand to score 62 points in his career. At the end of the season, Magic won the first prize and chose Dwight Howard, but McGrady had decided to flee Orlando regardless of everything. His next stop is Houston, where a big man from the east is waiting for him. Their coach is Jeff van Gandi, who appreciated and loved him very much during the commentary two years ago. “McGrady should have a bigger career goal,” Van Gandi said, McGrady. “A great player like him cannot fail the first round.” Welcome to our wechat public number “Houchang Village sports team” to see, there are more NBA, CBA related archaeology, comments and character content>> (Text/nihil)
