I am so Accurate

Chapter 618 T-mac Warriors debut

East: Rondo, Joe Johnson, Pierce, Gerald Wallace, Garnett, Chris Bosh, Howard;

West: Nash, Rose, Deron Williams, Roy, Pau Gasol, Nowitzki, Oden.

It is worth mentioning that this year's list has attracted a lot of controversy.

For example, in the Eastern Conference, the Pacers are ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference but no one is selected for the roster.

In terms of statistics alone, Granger, the core of the team, averaged a career-high 24 points per game, which is not inferior to Anthony in terms of statistics.

In terms of record, the Pacers are also better than the Pistons.

In fact, this situation often happens in the NBA. Although the record and data are better, no one from the team is selected.

To put it bluntly, this is "popularity".

This popularity is not only among the fans, but also among the head coaches of each team.

And in terms of hard power, Anthony is better than Granger.

The person Granger should be compared to this year should be Gerald Wallace.

Unfortunately, the Bobcats' record this year is so much better than the Pacers'.

Another example is that in the Western Conference, Bynum had the most brilliant performance of his career, but he still couldn't make the All-Star list.

This troubled "Baby Shark".

Then, like Carter, he complained publicly in front of the media, and he complained in a way that was even more idiotic than Carter.

"We are the clowns in the circus, performing for the Chinese, and they can let whoever they want to come on."

Generally speaking, given Carter's experience and Garnett's tragic experience, most players would not choose to say such things.

But it's a pity that Bynum's brain and his body have never been a good match.

Rejecting Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's guidance, Gasol was laughed at when he was dunked, missed training just because he had to get his hair done, and had an affair with the wife of the team's assistant coach...

He has done too many stupid things in history, so it is not surprising that he said this.

Stern also had a headache when he saw this comment.

In fact, Bynum is not wrong. Oden's selection is as controversial as Yi Jianlian's first selection as a starter.

But there are some things that you just know and there is no need to say them!

But before he could take action, the Clippers warned and fined Bynum.

Stern prejudged his prediction by calling him a good guy.

He did not impose any further punishment. There was a fundamental difference between what Bynum said and what Garnett said originally.

But it is foreseeable that Bynum's words not only offended Oden, but also offended Chinese fans.

If the two teams meet in the playoffs this year, the game will become even more exciting.

These are all minor episodes, and the fans' main attention is not on them, because the list of individual events immediately following the substitute list is more interesting.

Sun Hao did not participate in the dunk contest in the end.

But in the three-point contest, in addition to Sun Hao and Durant, who fans already know, the remaining four people are Pierce, Nowitzki, Daequan Cook, and...Stephen Curry!

Pierce's three-point shooting percentage this season is 41.4%, the highest in his career;

Cook is the defending champion;

Curry, why is Curry a rookie?

It's true that he is a rookie, but his three-point shooting percentage is 43.5%, which is higher than Sun Hao!

Do you think Sun Hao's previous statement that Curry's shooting talent is better than him was a consolation? That's true!

So many people say that the small ball era created Curry, but in fact, even without the small ball era, Curry is the best shooter in history.

As for Nowitzki's candidacy, it is more interesting.

Originally, he had already won the three-point shooting contest in 2006 and was not very interested in participating again.

But when I saw the three warriors on this list, I immediately became "uncomfortable".

"I'm here to stop them."

In front of the media, Nowitzki said with a smile.

There is nothing wrong with that. 3 out of the 6 names are alone. This scene is the same as when China determined the top 8 spots after playing in the World Table Tennis Championships.

In any case, this list can be regarded as full of expectations for the three-point contest.

This list attracted the attention of fans, including TNT.

In the latest episode of TNT's program, the three big commentators were talking to each other.

By the way, they also talked about the issue of "how many stars the Warriors have" that fans had previously discussed on social media.

"Of course it's a three-star because Greg Oden is an All-Star now."

Buckley said with a smile.

Originally, for controversial players like this, he would usually question them first without hesitation.

But there is no way, Sun Hao's team members are different.

"Charles, you might as well say four stars, and so does T-mac."

Kenny Smith continued.

After Smith said this, Buckley paused, then smiled and shook his head.

Originally, according to his usual style, he should have said some ridiculing words, but when McGrady was traded, he stood up for McGrady.

So he didn't say anything at this time, but his reaction should be able to tell his point of view: McGrady can never go back.

In the afternoon of this game day, the Warriors did their final training before the game.

Sun Hao found that McGrady's mood seemed obviously more depressed than yesterday.

He didn't go up to ask, and he could more or less guess what McGrady's reason was.

TNT's program is now one of the most popular sports programs. He basically watches every episode, and McGrady should be the same.

Although Barkley didn't say anything, the meaning was actually obvious.

If even Barkley, who is the number one player, reacts like that, it means that no one really believes that McGrady can play again.

However, McGrady's personal condition looks good, which may be very good news.

That night, Oracle Arena was packed.

Now that the attendance rate of the Warriors is already very high, plus tonight is McGrady's first show after joining the Warriors, fans naturally have more reasons to come to watch the game.

When the two teams were warming up before the game, live cameras showed Tracy McGrady from time to time.

Maddie noticed that when the camera was pointed at him, he forced a smile.

Depression and healing happen in a split second.

At the end of the pre-match warm-up, the starting lineups for both teams were announced one after another.

For the Thunder, Westbrook, Thabo Sefolosha, Jeff Green, Nick Collison, Nenad Kostic.

It is worth mentioning that although Griffin was reimbursed for the season, he still appeared on the sidelines in suits and ties.

For the Warriors, Curry, Sun Hao, Durant, Ibaka, Oden.

McGrady will not start this period, and there has been news from the Warriors before.

This is also the official vaccination of the Warriors in advance, fearing that fans will not accept it.

But the fact is, even if they knew it in advance, fans were still a little disappointed when they saw McGrady not starting.

After the opening ceremony, the game started quickly.

Although Matthews was traded, when Durant missed a month due to injury, Curry played frequently in the starting lineup and partnered with Sun Hao. There was no lack of running-in between the two.

So looking back, it was a good thing that Durant was injured at that time.

The most intuitive manifestation is that the Warriors' offense is going very smoothly. After all, among the three major shooters, Curry is not very good at defense and lacks experience, but his shooting is online.

However, the Thunder were not defeated immediately.

The reason why he was not beaten is Westbrook!

Historically, Westbrook has been playing tricks on Durant in the early stages of his career, and it was not until Durant was injured that he officially took over.

Now there is no Durant, Griffin is out for the season, and the Thunder's main offensive points are him and Green, which is naturally different.

Last season as a rookie, he averaged 16 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists per game. If not for Rose, he would have been the Rookie of the Year.

This season he has reached a higher level, averaging 21 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists per game.

NBA trivia: Westbrook actually learned how to rebound with big men as early as the NCAA.

His rebounding is criticized because he is often blocked by teammates, which is true, but in terms of rebounding ability, he is indeed one of the best in history.

In this highly anticipated game, he showed his lightning-fast first step.

What is talent? Talent is the focus of your efforts and may only be the starting point for others.

This is true in life, and sometimes it is also true in sports.

Sun Hao has trained for so many years and has a gold-level first-step badge, but Westbrook's first step is now faster than him...

The change of direction at the start is really like a rocket ejecting.

Went in after a while.

After a while, he went in again.

And this guy also likes to dunk.

With Oden and Ibaka around, it's one thing to score a dunk or not, but whether or not you dare to dunk is another matter.

The Thunder are a young team, and what they need is the momentum of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and this is exactly what Westbrook can bring.

As a result, the Thunder played with great momentum and actually managed to hold on to the score.

About nine minutes into the first quarter, the score was 23-17.

Although the Warriors took the lead, the two sides were still in a stalemate.

At this time, there was a burst of cheers from the sidelines.

Because both sides are starting to prepare for substitutions.

There are people on both sides ready to play. On the Warriors side, Landry, Zhu Fangyu... McGrady!

McGrady’s Warriors debut is coming!

The moment he stepped onto the court, in addition to cheers and applause, many fans stood up.

Maddie's eye circles looked a little red.

Perhaps he didn't expect such treatment in his first game in Oakland.

Witness the false support at the peak, and the loyal believers at dusk.

Maddie must have been touched at this moment.

Three people go on, replacing Curry, Durant and Ibaka.

The cheers at the scene were even louder.

Before this season, fans, especially old fans, had seen the top five shooting guards playing together many times.

Among them, Kobe and Sun Hao are the ones who are criticized the most by fans. Unfortunately, that kind of criticism is the same as playing with fans James Curry, so there may not be much chance.

Then the most likely ones are Carter and Sun Hao, but it is a pity that Sun Hao did not choose to come back with the Lakers, and in the end he passed by.

And now, McGrady is standing on the court with Sun Hao.

This was unthinkable before.

Fans are looking forward to seeing the connection between McGrady and Sun Hao earlier.

But fans soon discovered that Sun Hao attacked more after Curry came off the court, and McGrady did not have many opportunities to hold the ball.

It wasn't until Sun Hao was replaced in the last minute of this quarter that McGrady started to control the ball for the first time.

Although the fans don't quite understand why Sun Hao doesn't play more with McGrady, as he has been playing ball for Curry and Durant before, the fans are still excited now.

Tracy McGrady triple threat, and then his iconic one-handed ball.

Landry pulled out to give him a pick-and-roll.

After taking it apart, he pulled it out without moving too far inside.

It still smells familiar, and even the height is so familiar.

It felt as if he had not been injured and was still the same person before the injury.

Picturesque.

"Uh-huh!"

The key thing that makes the fans most excited is that this shot was made!

McGrady scored the first goal of his Warriors career! !

The entire Oracle Arena was boiling instantly.

On the bench, Durant couldn't help but get up and yell, even more excited than he was when he scored.

Only Sun Hao looked thoughtful.

Durant looked back excitedly to see Sun Hao's expression, and then noticed Sun Hao's expression.

He didn't know what happened to Sun Hao today, but he had no time to care about it. He turned back and continued to applaud McGrady.

McGrady also reached out and pointed at Durant while retreating, with a sleepy smile in his eyes. The picture was very classic.

Returning to the defensive end, when McGrady switched to guard Green, he jumped up and chased him, almost covering Green!

During this offense and defense, it was obvious that McGrady was holding back his energy.

Although he didn't say it, you could feel that he wanted to prove himself.

And that feeling was reflected again in the next turn.

After McGrady and Landry played a pick-and-roll again, they made a fake pass during the breakthrough, then went to the basket and scored against Kostic's defensive pull, and also caused the latter's defensive foul!

Although the ball was very difficult and caused him to be hit and fell to the ground, the moment the ball was scored, the Oracle Arena was completely blown away.

A pull-up and a 2+1. The beginning of McGrady's Warriors career is so dreamy!

Durant was too excited to sit down.

Besides Sun Hao, McGrady is the second person who can make him become so fanatical.

However, Sun Hao's expression remained the same, and he couldn't help but shake his head.

Because what he saw was not only McGrady's score, but also McGrady lying on the ground for a while, gritting his teeth before being pulled up from the ground by Landry and Oden, and he also stood there for a while after getting up.

With the excitement of the TNT program and the enthusiasm of the fans at the scene, he was really worried that McGrady would hit him too hard and hurt himself.

This is also the reason why he attacked more when he was on the court with Tracy McGrady.

Because the current situation was almost something he could foresee.

But he couldn't go or stop McGrady from doing anything. All he could do in the front was all.

McGrady adjusted his body and took extra penalties.

After the Thunder's final attack, the score on the court was fixed at 28-17.

McGrady's 5 points helped the Warriors successfully open the score to double digits.

He was cheered enthusiastically by his teammates when he came off the field.

Sun Hao also stood up to congratulate McGrady at this time.

Worried as he was, he was still happy with McGrady's performance.

After all, strictly speaking... this was also his youth in his previous life!
