Chapter 627 McGee's Talent (Third!)
But in this way, McGee's new debut opportunity may be coming.
It is said that people who love to laugh will not have bad luck. McGee has a cheerful personality, and this luck really came to him.
Before the game that night, Williams also put McGee on the active list.
McGee looked a little excited. After the last game, he thought he would never have another chance.
He didn't expect that God would take care of him so much, and the opportunity would come again so soon.
The Rockets are now ranked fourth in the Western Conference, but the Clippers behind them are only one win away from them, and every game they play is critical.
And Harden really wants to win this game.
His current team record, MVP ranking, and external evaluation are all like Tang Tian. He needs such a victory to prove himself.
Strong duel, the New Orleans arena was full.
To say that this period of the Pelicans' schedule is still very good. The continuous home games saved them from the fatigue of traveling to and from the away game.
The big three of TNT also commented on the spot in this game. Before the game started, they had already started to make daily jokes.
It is worth noting that after Tang Tian mentioned it last time, there were no signs like "my.boy" on the scene.
Tang Tian's words are still very useful.
There have been some slight changes between the Rockets and the last time they played against each other.
The team's starting center Asik suffered a wave of injuries during the period, and the rookie Capela who replaced him as the starter performed well, averaging 9 points and 7 rebounds per game.
He and Bosh's combination of one offense and one defense is quite in tune, which also caused Asik to lose his starting position after his comeback.
Asik's contract expires at the end of this season, and all kinds of buttery players have regressed a lot in defense.
The Rockets' move is the same as the Warriors' training of Green. They are heroes regardless of their origins, and they are preparing for the future.
In other positions, the Rockets are still the same as last season, with Beverly and Harden on the outside and Parsons and Bosh on the front.
The Pelicans are also the regular starting five.
To the cheers of the fans, Whiteside beat Capela to kick off the game.
Whiteside continued to show an excellent competitive state. He cooperated with Tang Tian at the beginning of the game. After receiving the ball, he pushed Capela away and smashed the ball into the basket.
Capela proved himself in the opportunity, but after all, he was immature. Like Nurkic in the previous game, it was a bit difficult to fight against Whiteside.
However, Harden was in very good condition. He scored 16 points and 3 assists in the quarter with a penalty shot, helping the Rockets draw 26 with the Pelicans in the first quarter.
His proof is not only in his heart, but also in his actions.
In the opening stage of the second quarter, Williams turned around and called McGee up.
In the last two minutes of the first quarter, he used Davis to cover the fifth position, but the effect was not very good.
McGee saw Williams' gesture, as if seeing a sexy girl waving to him, and jumped up with a rub.
This time the opportunity is much better than last time, remember this is the regular rotation time!
The move startled Williams.
He thought of McGee's mysterious operation in the last game, and called McGee to give him some advice.
McGee nodded vigorously, his expression frantically expressing that he was fine.
Williams patted McGee's hand one last time, signaling him to come on.
Back in the second quarter, both sides have one main force with four substitutes.
The Pelicans are led by Ariza, plus Dinwiddie, Gordon, Aminu and McGee.
The Rockets are led by Bosh, plus Terry, Brewer, Josh Smith and Asik.
Back in the second quarter, the Rockets took the lead.
Williams was standing on the sidelines at this time, and his eyes had been on McGee.
Even after thousands of exhortations, he was still worried about McGee.
Bosh supported the ball in the high post, and Terry and Smith crossed and cut in on both sides.
Bosh passes the ball to Smith, and Smith takes the ball and drives to the basket.
McGee's defensive positioning on the ball was very problematic. He fell on the off-ball side as a center, completely stuck Asik, and opened the door for the Pelicans inside.
Smith rushed to the basket and dunked with both hands.
This ball shows the style of the former Eagle King.
The Rockets' bench was boiling.
"This is new material."
O'Neill said solemnly in the commentary booth.
His words caused Barkley to burst into laughter, and the new material naturally refers to the five embarrassments.
Smith also shook his head helplessly.
McGee really took care of O'Neill's "business".
Williams put his hand on his forehead on the sidelines.
McGee's defensive position, if it's not useless, he really doesn't want to play McGee.
Borrego yelled at McGee a few times, reminding him of his defensive positioning problem.
In the Pelicans' offense, Dinwiddie organized from the outside. He passed the ball to Gordon, who missed the basket with a three-pointer.
Asik reaches for the defensive rebound.
But at this moment, McGee jumped up his long arm and picked melons directly behind Asik, and scored an offensive rebound!
McGee is 2.10 meters tall, but has a wingspan of 2.29 meters. Although he is not as good as Biyombo and Whiteside, he is also absolutely top-notch.
And the key is that he has a run-up bounce of 82.6 cm, which is absolutely top-level data among big men.
He has a long wingspan and can jump. It is not for nothing that he is called the number one center with a low body.
"Stop him!"
Rockets assistant coach Bickerstaff yelled from the sidelines.
Asik fights to hold McKee back.
But McGee didn't mean to attack, he directly stuffed the ball to Dinwiddie who cut in, Dinwiddie caught the ball and flew to the basket to score directly!
A wonderful story!
The Pelicans tied the score!
Williams was stunned from the sidelines.
Poor defensive positioning, but can send such a wonderful pass.
He really didn't understand McGee.
Tang Tian didn't understand too much, but at least this ball showed that his previous judgment was correct, and McGee's golf quotient was indeed not low.
Back on the defensive end, this time McGee's position is in the penalty area, and Borrego's reminder is still useful.
The Rockets repeated their tricks. This time Brewer cut in, and he caught the ball and flew to the basket.
Asik tried his best to block McGee, but McGee's arms were really long, and through Asik's body, he caught the ball that Brewer shot!
A person blocks the cap!
The fans at the scene were dumbfounded.
This talent is no worse than Whiteside!
The blocked ball was picked up by Asik, and he made a quick shot, but his butter hand attribute was triggered, and the ball slid out of the basket.
McGee got the rebound after landing.
Williams nodded from the sidelines.
Compared with the previous goal, the block and rebound protection of this ball are still very good.
McGee gave the ball to Dinwiddie, Dinwiddie took the ball to the frontcourt, and broke through to the basket after a pick-and-roll with Aminu.
The Rockets shrunk inside, and Dinwiddie showed a tall point guard's vision and returned the ball to McGee in the middle.
McGee received the ball and accelerated, took two big steps, and flew towards the basket.
Asik on the inside came out to defend.
But it has been significantly slower.
McGee took off one step away from the penalty area and pressed the ball into the basket through Asik.
The two had a physical confrontation.
"Boom!"
McGee slams the ball into the rim through Asik.
