best shooting guard

Chapter 441 The old boy

Popovich called a timeout.

In fact, even if Qin Yan didn't say anything, he still planned to use McGrady.

In the original history, Popovich didn't use McGrady in the end, because McGrady was really useless, and he went up to give away his head.

And McGrady in history has been injured all the time, and his body is out of shape, and his skills are not good. He is a bastard in the Spurs.

But McGrady is different now. McGrady, who changed his life trajectory because of the appearance of Qin Yan, not only recovered 10% of his ability, but also maintained his body and skills very well. After switching to point guard this season, McGrady In less than 8 minutes of playing time, McGrady can score 8+36 points and assists in 15 minutes.

If that's the case, McGrady is the top traditional defender's data.

That is to say, the Spurs have a lot of people and McGrady cannot be the main player, otherwise McGrady can definitely reach the second peak of his life.

In this critical game, Popovich originally planned to let McGrady play in the third quarter, but Qin Yan was suddenly injured at halftime, so Popovich had to adjust his tactics.

So he had to keep McGrady on the bench, after all, he needs someone who can play in the fourth quarter.

Now, it's time for McGrady to come out.

"Tracey, you have a heavy task ahead, can you do it?" Popovich asked McGrady.

McGrady smiled confidently, joking, it's only one game, with his current ability, there is no pressure at all!

To be honest, after joining the Spurs halfway this season, McGrady has always had a small lump in his heart, which is the evaluation of him from the outside world. There has always been a saying that he came to the Spurs to dawdle, especially many people said that he came to hug him. Thigh mixed champion.

Although it is said that with the help of Qin Yan, McGrady has now recovered his ability to be a qualified substitute and has become an indispensable member of the Spurs, but there are still people who say that McGrady is here to mess around.

So McGrady has always wanted to prove himself, playing on such a critical occasion happened to be the best opportunity to prove himself!
"Leave it to me." McGrady smiled confidently, and at the same time opened those eyes that were always sleepy.

In those eyes, there is only endless fighting spirit and desire for victory!
Popovich said that he once saw this kind of gaze in McGrady's eyes, and that time, it brought unforgettable memories to the Spurs team like a nightmare.

Now it seems that to bear this kind of nightmare object, you have to become the Heat!

Although it is a bit unrealistic for the current McGrady to play another 35 seconds and 13 minutes, the transformed McGrady is not so easy to deal with.

McGrady comes on!The fourth quarter, which is likely to determine the ownership of this season's championship, officially sounded the horn of battle!

At the beginning of the fourth quarter of the Spurs, Tracy McGrady reached the position of shooting guard, but he was the one who handled the ball. After all, compared with Mills, Tracy McGrady has more advantages in height, arm length and ball control.

The vision of a big point guard is very broad, even Ray Allen is half a head shorter in front of McGrady! (Ray Allen 196cm, McGrady 203cm)
So now although McGrady is not aggressively attacking, the threat to the Heat is still great. Ray Allen has to stick to McGrady to prevent him from passing the ball easily.

But after all, there is a gap in stature, and McGrady's long arms and excellent passing skills make Ray Allen also have to be convinced.

McGrady looked at Ray Allen, who was playing against him, and felt very emotional in his heart. He recalled the feeling he had with Ray Allen more than ten years ago. At that time, Ray Allen was still in the Bucks, and both of them were in high spirits. At that time, Ray Allen could rush into the inside line to perform dunks from time to time, instead of the gentleman sword who was famous all over the world for his three-pointers on the outside line.

At that time, McGrady had just been named one of the "Four Great Shooting Guards", and he was in his peak period. He won more and lost less (in terms of statistics) when he played against Ray Allen.

But now, both of them are old. Although Ray Allen is in good shape, it is true that his ability has indeed declined.

And McGrady is similar now, the two are basically on the same starting line, the only difference is that McGrady is a rookie in the finals, and Ray Allen is a veteran.

These two people are now fighting each other, and each other has feelings in their hearts. They have been fighting when they were young, but now they are old, and they have to continue fighting.

McGrady lamented the fate of this old opponent. Thinking back to when he ranked young shooting guards, Ray Allen never squeezed into the top four. Unexpectedly, at the end of his career, he won the championship in the Celtics, " Among the "Four Shooting Backs", only Kobe has more championships than him. This guy has no regrets in his career.

What Ray Allen thinks in his heart is that he seems to have been fighting with these "four shooting guards" in his life. He thinks that from the moment he entered the league, he has fought with Iverson, Carter, and Tracy McGrady. Then in the finals that year, he fought against the Lakers and Kobe, and stepped on Kobe to win the championship!
To be honest, at that time, Ray Allen felt that he had really reached the pinnacle of his life. Although he had been suppressed by these four people when he was young, didn't he step over one by one.

Now, coming to the finals again, Ray Allen really didn't expect that he would meet another "four shooting guards" again!
It seems that at this time, I am going to fight these four people for the rest of my life!

The confrontation between McGrady and Ray Allen, the former opponents, did not spark too much sparks, because both of them chose to play for teammates by coincidence.

McGrady looked at Ray Allen beside him, and he always had doubts in his heart, because he remembered what Qin Yan said to him at the beginning:

"Tracey, if you play in the finals, you must guard against Ray Allen, especially his three-pointers at the last moment. No matter when, you have to watch his three-pointers! Remember! Remember !"

McGrady didn't quite understand why Qin Yan valued Ray Allen so much. He knew that Ray Allen was very good at three-pointers, but in a team with James and Wade, it shouldn't be Ray Allen's turn. .

But now, McGrady suddenly admires Qin Yan a little bit. He can guess the current situation. Wade is injured, James is entangled by Leonard, and Ray Allen has to play. Might shoot a [-]-pointer at the last minute!
Does Qin Yan know fortune-telling?

But, according to what Qin Yan said, then in the last minute, he had to block Ray Allen's fatal shot!
Let me see if things will be as Qin Yan said!
