The Fifth Point Guard

After the first quarter, the Nets at home led the Magic by 3 points 33-30.

The shooting percentages of the two teams are very high, and the defensive strength is not insignificant, but the players of both sides did not know what medicine they took before the game today, and they were all accurate.

Shen Tong scored 13 points alone, and McGrady scored 15 points alone.

The two accounted for almost half of the first quarter of the game.

In the second quarter, the two hadn't restrained themselves in the slightest, and they went crazy.

McGrady hit a three-pointer at the top of the arc.

Shentong immediately responded with a breakthrough dunk.

McGrady picked up an offensive rebound from the crowd, made a tip-up and caused a foul by Mutombo's thugs, sitting on the ground and shaking his fingers like Uncle Mu.

Shentong quickly passed Girisek and succeeded in dunking Kemp, also scoring 2+1.

Later, the two seemed to find it unsatisfactory, and they also began to compete on the defensive end.

Shen Tong defended McGrady, lowered his center of gravity, and played a broken single, relaxed his shoulders, looked directly at the opponent's gaze, and kept his left hand in the low position to detect the ball at any time, while his right hand opened the palm to seal McGrady's sight.

McGrady held the ball with a low body, and after making a tentative attempt, he immediately pulled out his hand.

Shentong's single-breaking pose made a natural reaction of the body, jumping up to block the block.

In terms of jumping ability, Shentong is not the first in the league, but in terms of bounce speed, it is definitely leveraged.

The nicknames of Chinese small gyro, electric pile driver, and deep water stirring rod are not for nothing.

Shen Tong took off and grabbed McGrady's ball with five fingers.

It can be seen with the naked eye that McGrady obviously stagnated for a while during the shooting process after the dry pull, and the movement was not particularly smooth.

Perhaps it was because Shentong's interference played a role, or it was to deliberately avoid Shentong's blocking.

"when!"

At this moment, Comey synchronized.

Shentong successfully interfered with McGrady's shooting and prevented the attack.

When Shen Tong was hitting back, Mai Di separated his feet and made a Zama-like movement, while keeping his upper body straight, pushing his hands flat against Shen Tong's back.

Shen Tong tried to dig in, but although McGrady was thin, his strength was not bad.

Therefore, Shentong also resorted to his most stable scoring method, the fadeaway jumper.

False shot in the left shoulder, but this time turned to the right.

McGrady has already judged Shentong's next move, jumped up high, and wanted to give Shentong a big hat.

but unfortunately

Shen Tong's fake action is quite realistic.

After flying McGrady, Shen Tong kept his right foot still, took a step forward with his left foot, stepped out of McGrady's defensive range, and scored an easy layup.

McGrady: "Careless."

Shen Tong: "No, it's hasty."

In the first three quarters, under the strong firepower of McGrady, the Magic kept biting the score.

But in the fourth quarter, the Nets made a sudden effort in the middle and opened the score with a 15-2 climax. Since then, with the huge physical consumption of McGrady, the Magic did not bring any threat to the Nets. .

McGrady scored 40 points in the first three quarters, but his physical strength declined in the fourth quarter and he was unable to support himself independently. Finally, he scored 44 points in the whole game.

Although Shentong lost to McGrady in scoring in the first three quarters, it was not too difficult to fight the whole game. After all, Kidd delivered the shells in a timely manner, while McGrady had to take care of everything.

Shentong scored 30 points in the first three quarters, and continued to contribute 10 points steadily in the fourth quarter, and performed very well when McGrady was exhausted, which formed a sharp contrast with the exhausted McGrady at the end.

At the end of the game, the score of the two sides was fixed at 110-102.

In the fourth quarter, the Nets firmly held the lead.

The top two on the scoring list faced each other, and McGrady won the score again, 44-40.

But Shentong was more efficient, and the Nets won the game.

For the Nets, Kidd contributed a triple-double with 14 points, 11 rebounds and 16 assists.

Martin had 18 points and 10 rebounds, Jefferson contributed 14 points.

In addition to McGrady, the Magic team contributed 20 points, and his three-pointer is quite threatening.

Another newly transferred Gooden had 22 points and 11 rebounds.

Other than those three, no one on the Magic has scored in double digits.

The once brilliant "Rain Man" Sean Kemp only scored 6 points and 6 rebounds, just like a blue-collar player who has just qualified, and has long since lost his former glory.

After the game, Patrick Ewing took the initiative to hug McGrady.

Although they have become rivals, the relationship between the two is still very good.

When parting, Ewing also gave McGrady a pair of sunshade goggles for sleeping, and McGrady gave Ewing a bunch of bananas in return.

The five fierce battles on the first day of the playoffs kicked off the prelude to the fighting in the playoffs.

In the West, the Spurs, who ranked first in the regular season in the Western Conference, immediately proved themselves after being unexpectedly defeated by the Suns in the first game.

84-76 and 99-86 played two games in a row, which brought the topic of Hei Ba to an abrupt end.

However, the development of things is always twists and turns.

I don't know if it was shameful and courageous after losing two games in a row, or the Spurs were careless again.

In the fourth stop, the Suns in the away game again unexpectedly defeated the Spurs 86-84, tying the big score to 2-2!

The black eight news that had just stopped was immediately overwhelming again.

This made Popovich very angry.

The Spurs immediately won the Suns 94-82 in the fifth game. The Spurs made the game lose suspense in the first half and played a wave of 54-30 halftime scores.

Although the Suns did not give up in the second half and fought hard to catch up, the hole dug at the beginning was too deep to be filled.

Duncan once again played the role of the pinnacle, with 23 points, 17 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 blocks, highlighting the demeanor of the regular season MVP, but also eclipsed Stoudemire's 14 points and 14 rebounds.

In the sixth round, the Spurs in the away game had learned from the past and did not dare to be careless. Once they are dragged into the tiebreaker by the Suns, no one can predict what will happen. The best way is to end the battle as soon as possible!

The Suns at home set off a crazy offense, 25-21 in the first quarter, giving the Spurs a blow.

Marion, Marbury, and Stoudemire teamed up to score points, making the Spurs overwhelmed.

After adjustments, the Spurs gradually adapted to the Suns' offense and stood firm.

The suspense of winning or losing lasted until the last moment.

87-85, the Spurs narrowly beat the Suns in the sixth game, thus advancing to the Western Conference semifinals with a score of 4-2.

In this campaign, Duncan encountered a tight double-team defense from the Suns.

The double-teaming of Marion and Stoudemire made it difficult for Duncan to do his best on the offensive end, and Marbury was still ready to steal at any time.

But don't look at Duncan looking blank, but his mind is very active.

In addition to being blocked on offense, which involved a lot of energy for the Suns, Duncan also made a fuss about the defensive end and assisting teammates.

With 15 points, 20 rebounds, 10 assists and 4 blocks, Duncan shattered the Suns' wish to drag the game into a tie-break with a triple-double.

Daidai is worthy of being Daidai.

The No. 1 pick may have parallel imports, but the regular season MVP definitely doesn't.
