After signing with the Nets, I stopped pretending and I had a showdown

Chapter 87 86. Victory over Magic!All-Star voting is open!Reporter: Someone questioned your public relations team behind the scenes!
Before the game, almost everyone thought that the Magic, which has been gaining momentum recently, would win, especially McGrady would teach Wei Xu, a rookie, how to behave, but the result was unexpected.

McGrady made 8 of 2 shots in the first quarter, scored only 5 points, and made 1 of 0 free throw. His efficiency and statistics were not as good as Wei Xu.

Many domestic fans watching the game are having heated discussions around Wei Xu and McGrady.

"14 points in a single quarter! Wei Xu is too strong, and the four major shooting guards have been blasted by him all over the place. This is the rhythm to go to heaven!"

"If Wei Xu can't be an All-Star starter this year, it must be a naked shady scene!"

"In the first match, he beat McGrady in a single quarter. Wei Shen really deserves to be Wei Shen, and the No.1 young generation player deserves it!"

In the second quarter, the two sides sent a substitute lineup to compete.

The Nets point guard Armstrong, shooting guard Richard Jefferson, small forward Monty Williams, Keith Van Horn and Mark Lodge inside.

On the Magic side, Darrell, Jalen Jackson, Buechler, Tang Reid, and "Cobra" Grant were on the side.

The backup small forward Monty Williams, who was traded from the Magic, has recently been reused. His ball intelligence and experience are very good, he can break through, shoot, and pass.As a role player, the Nets can attack from this point in positional warfare, and the function is somewhat similar to that of the later Timberwolves' Li Kyle.

In the positional battle, Armstrong played a pick-and-roll in the middle, Monty Williams scored the first goal, and made an emergency stop jumper from the left corner.

Then Richard Jefferson also scored a goal, got rid of the off-ball screen, and hit a long-range three-pointer at the top of the arc. The Magic missed twice because of the slow-moving "Cobra" Grant, who couldn't follow the pick-and-roll. Can only be beaten passively.

巅峰时的格兰特也算是联盟里小有名气的内线球星，跟随公牛和湖人都拿到过总冠军戒指。93-94赛季入选全明星更是交出过15分11篮板3助攻1封盖的数据，是迈克尔乔丹身边最值得信赖的帮手之一。

However, the growth of age has taken away his agile lateral speed. Now Grant can only play a role in defending the low post. When he throws out to defend the pick-and-roll, he is looking for abuse, and he is almost hit by the Nets.

Sadly, the Nets are the team with the least number of singles in the penalty area this season. The offense is launched from the outside. Grant, who is good at top defense, has no effect against the Nets. He can only use his experience to cover the offensive end and use his body as a teammate. Create opportunities.

After playing a few rounds, the sixth man, Keith Van Horn, also made his debut. He hit two consecutive three-pointers from beyond the three-point line, leading the team to a 10-2 climax, and decisively stopped the Magic.

Doc Rivers called a timeout with a livid face, and stood off the court with a tactical board and roared wildly. He was very dissatisfied with the team's defense, but he was helpless.

Seeing the scene where Rivers was furious, Derunier gloated and said: "Coach Doug has nothing to do tonight. Not only did he fail to restrain Wei Xu on the defensive end, but now he can't even guard other Nets players. The worst What's more, the Magic not only couldn't defend against the Nets' offense, but even their best three-pointers began to miss, and both offensive and defensive ends collapsed, which is really desperate."

Horvath nodded and said, "The Magic are the team that relies most on three-point offense in the league. This extreme style of play is most afraid of players collectively hitting the iron. If the Magic still can't shoot from the outside in the second half, this game may be over. The coffin is settled."

De Lunier smiled and said: "The Nets played very well in this game. Not only did Wei Xu, the team's leading scorer, play brilliantly, but the second team also delivered a wonderful personal performance after debuting. Van Horn has now adapted to the sixth team. The role of a man, with strong firepower when on the bench, is a well-deserved first offensive point."

The substitutes played hard. Kidd, Wei Xu, and Kenyon Martin all got a full rest and sat off the court to watch the game for half a quarter before being taken back to the court.

After the two teams came back from the starting lineup, the Magic strengthened their outside defense, and the Nets' offensive efficiency gradually declined, but they still firmly controlled the game with Wei Xu's active fast break.

In the second quarter, the Magic relied entirely on McGrady and Garrity's two three-pointers to continue their lives. With Garrity's two difficult fairy goals, the Magic struggled to bite the point difference.

In the last 2 minutes, 55 to 41, the Nets led by 14 points.

Doc Rivers took advantage of the dead ball to replace Troy Hudson, who was dominated by Kidd tonight, and put Jalen Jackson and McGrady in the backcourt. It seems that he intends to go all the way to the dark, even if he loses, he must lose On the three-pointer.

Wei Xu is still in charge of defending spot-up shooter Mike Miller. The team has a double-digit lead. He doesn't need to fight with McGrady. It's better to reserve his physical strength and attack with all his strength to defeat the Magic.

Mike Miller is basically standing still on the offensive end. With McGrady on the court, he can't get too much possession of the ball, so he can only do his job as a spot-up shooter.

Kidders was assigned to defend Jalen Jackson with three fouls, and the man who defended McGrady became the head star Kidd.Although he is at a disadvantage in height, Kidd is very strong, and he has no problem resisting McGrady. The candy-style close-fitting can also disrupt McGrady's dribbling rhythm, making it impossible for him to easily break through with the ball.

The Nets attacked, Collins covered in the middle, and Wei Xu ran to the bottom corner with the help of his teammates off the ball.Kidd saw the timing, took the ball and passed it to Wei Xu with a big stride.

Jalen Jackson defended, Wei Xu made a fake shot, and then immediately dribbled the ball to his left hand. The European step was fast and fast, and he suddenly stopped in the three-second zone and shot a jumper.

The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air. Jackson turned around and was slow to defend. When he turned his head, Wei Xu had already thrown the ball in the three-second zone.

In the next second, "Shua!", the basketball went into the net! 57 to 41.

The Magic attacked, McGrady played a pick-and-roll with Garrity at the top of the arc, broke through from the left, pulled the ball fiercely, forced Jason Kidd with speed, and rushed in from the center.

McGrady's first step started very fast, Kidd's strength was good, but his speed was short, almost the moment Garrity blocked him with his body, McGrady passed him clean.

Seeing this, Jason Collins rushed to make up the defense, but McGrady showed off his waist and abdomen strength with a three-step layup. 57 to 43.

McGrady's layup was full of elegance, and Collins missed the ball after jumping up, only seeing McGrady flying past him.

The Nets attacked, Wei Xu continued to run, Mike Miller chased hard, Wei Xu reversed and changed the running route.

Kidd broke through after the pick-and-roll with Martin in the middle, attracting the help defense and passing the ball to the weak side.This time, Wei Xu did not rely on the cover of his teammates and crushed Mike Miller with speed. When he received the ball, Miller was thrown away by at least half a meter.

Wei Xu's left horn catches the ball and immediately shoots a jumper, avoiding Garrity's help defense block, and the ball bounces out of the frame.

The Magic fans at the scene breathed a long sigh of relief. Wei Xu had already missed his chance for the ball, and it was the final end of the shot.

Wei Xu's performance tonight was too explosive. Every shot made people feel flustered, and he almost didn't scare the fans to death.

The offensive efficiency of both teams declined in the following time. Wei Xu received Kidd's ball from the outside and hit an open three-pointer. McGrady broke through with the ball at the top of the arc and beat Kidd. Basket scored two points.

At the end of halftime, 60 to 45, the Nets led the Magic by 15 points.

Back in the locker room, Byron Scott emphasized the words of the car again, and almost praised Wei Xu as Jordan. "Wei, you did a good job. Continue to play like this in the second half, let Tracy see your strength, conquer the Orlando fans, win some votes, and become this year's Eastern All-Star starter."

After Christmas, the league opened the All-Star voting for this season, and there is still one month before the All-Star Weekend.

Wei Xu's sprint speed in voting is astonishing, and he entered the top three in the league as soon as the channel was opened. If he can maintain this momentum, he will definitely be selected as a starter this year. A player who achieved this achievement.

In the first half, he scored 22 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, the highest score in the game, and his performance was more eye-catching than McGrady.

In the second half, the Nets adjusted their lineup.Big center Jason Collins rested, Kenyon Martin topped the 5th position, and Monty Williams played as a power forward, adding an additional passing core.

Magic center "Cobra" Grant played badly in the first half, scoring 4 points and 1 rebounds on 2 of 3 shots.

He has almost no dominance at the basket. It is a waste to send Collins to match the height. It is better to change to a small lineup to increase mobility.The offensive end can not only counterattack, but also defend McGrady, so there is no need to worry about the risk of being bombed in the penalty area.

The Magic's offense, no matter how hard McGrady breaks through Kiddles, the crushing of athletic talent cannot be made up for by enthusiasm.

It is more difficult for McGrady to force Wei Xu, but it is still easy to force Kiddles.

However, the Nets lowered the height of the lineup in the second half to help prevent McGrady's breakthrough. When McGrady reached the free throw line, he was immediately pinched by two Nets players.In desperation, McGrady could only pass the ball to the outside line. Garrity caught the ball and made a three-pointer, but he still couldn't find the touch.

On the offensive end, the Nets' small lineup opened up a lot of space. Kidd and Martin picked and rolled the ball to Kidders who was ambushing in the right corner. The latter caught the ball to attract Garrity to defend and passed it to Monty.

Monty Williams was not soft at all against his old club. He shot a three-pointer with a 45-degree open jumper on the right.

In the middle of the third quarter, Mike Miller suddenly lay unconscious on the ground, panting heavily, and was not helped to leave the field until the team doctor came in.

On the defensive end, he has been running with Wei Xu, running fast after the positional battle, and almost never stopped after the opening.In the first half of the game, he gritted his teeth and persisted, but in the second half, Wei Xu's physical fitness not only did not decline, but he became more and more excited as he ran. Mike Miller finally couldn't stand it anymore, lying on the ground like a dead dog and was helped out by the team doctor.

Mike Miller swears that this is definitely the most painful game he has ever experienced, more painful than being cut off by Kobe for 50 points from his head.Miller felt that his lungs might blow up if he continued to fight. He would rather leave the field amidst laughter than continue to run with that lunatic Wei Xu.

After one was wasted, the person in charge of defending Wei Xu became Jalen Jackson.Seeing Mike Miller lying on the ground tired, McGrady resolutely rejected the request of head coach Doc Rivers to mark Wei Xu. He didn't want to throw himself up because of a regular season. This kind of thing can only make Jalen Jackson This role players assume.

Jalen Jackson is 1 meters tall and weighs 93 kilograms. He is a 86-year-old veteran.When Mike Miller was escorted off the field by the team doctor in front of him, this guy's face turned pale with fright. He didn't want to play his life with Wei Xu at a very old age.

Two minutes later, the Nets counterattacked. Kidd held the ball and passed the fast break to Wei Xu. The veteran is kicked out of the touchline.

What's even more depressing is that Jalen Jackson, who was kicked out of the sideline by Wei Xu's inertial action, also paid for a foul.Sitting on the ground, spread his hands, took out the classic pain mask and complained to the referee, but the three referees ignored him at all, leaving Jalen Jackson sitting alone on the ground in a mess.

Kidd also broke out suddenly at the last moment, scoring a three-pointer on the left and right sides, teaming up with Wei Xu to hit an 8-0 climax, leading the Nets to a 22-point lead into the final quarter.

In the fourth quarter, the main players of the Nets once again clocked out of get off work in three quarters.

Scott sent a substitute lineup led by Van Horn on the stage. If nothing else, the starting quarter will not come back again.

With Richard Jefferson and Van Horn hitting three-pointers one after another, the Magic completely lost hope of a comeback.

After 2 minutes, Armstrong played for a while. After the pick-and-roll, he broke through the middle and scored two beautiful layups, and assisted his teammate Jason Collins to complete an alley-oop.

In the final 112 to 89, the Nets beat the Magic away with 23 points.

Wei Xu clocked out of get off work in three quarters, played 30 minutes, made 17 of 12 shots, 4 of 2 three-pointers, 7 of 5 free throws, scored 31 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals, and his shooting percentage was as high as 70.5%. All made up.

Magic star McGrady also scored 24 points, but he took 26 shots and only hit 8 of them, shooting 30% from the field. He didn't score as many shots as he did. It was obvious that he was rushing to collect statistics in the second half.

All members of the Nets played well tonight, with a total of 6 players scoring in double figures.

基德9投5中，三分球4中2，拿下12分8篮板14助攻3抢断。准三双的数据早已成为了基德标配，要不是末节比赛提前进入垃圾时间，斩获三双是板上钉钉的事情。

Kenyon Martin had 14 points, 9 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 blocks, and his shooting percentage also exceeded 60%.Kiedels had 12 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. The sixth man, Keith Van Horn, had 16 points and 4 rebounds. Even Monty Williams had 10 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists against his old team. Two three-pointers slapped his old club's mouth hard.

The old Nets player Aaron Williams, who was traded to the Magic, suffered a stress fracture in his left foot not long ago, and he will not have a chance to come back until the end of the season at the earliest.

The luck of the Magic is also true. After the start of the regular season, 3 players have been reimbursed for the season. After a trade, an insider has played a few games and then followed in the footsteps of his predecessors and had to sit on the bench. I communicated with the team's second leader, Grant Hill, about his condition, and the battalion was full of properly wounded soldiers.

Fortunately, McGrady's body has been quite durable in the past two years. If it was replaced by McGrady in the Rockets period, the Magic management would have fainted in the toilet.

Back in the locker room, Wei Xu simply took a shower, and his teammates were still waiting for him to attend the press conference.

As soon as he entered the venue, Wei Xu became the focus of the audience.

The reporters wanted to put the interview equipment in his mouth, scrambling to raise their hands to signal.

When Byron Scott commented on the game, he focused on Wei Xu. "Wei played very well this time. He scored a game-high 31 points, which is the key to the team's away win. I am very happy that he can regain his touch. He played a dominant offensive performance and completed the match against the last game. self-salvation."

The reporter interviewed Kidd, and he also gave Wei Xu a very high evaluation: "Wei is the best team player I have ever seen. His running route is very wonderful, and he can always accurately appear on my passing route. It's a pleasure to work with him, I think even assists have become easier."

Martin also praised Wei Xu's ability to adjust. "When a lot of people were still silent, when Wei played the Pistons and scored only 15 points, he scored 31 points just one day later. I was surprised at the speed of his adjustment, but when I think about this guy, he is a monster. And I feel like it’s all natural.”

When Wei Xu was interviewed, the reporter first asked him to talk about his feelings about the matchup with McGrady.

Wei Xu smiled and said: "McGrady is a very good player. He has many fans in China. We had a great time playing tonight. We also kept in touch with each other after the game. I think he He's a nice guy."

Another reporter asked: "After the opening of the All-Star voting, your number of votes is soaring upwards at an alarming rate, which is absolutely unbelievable for a rookie entering the league. Some people questioned your public relations team. , the purpose is to help you become an All-Star starter, do you have anything to say about this doubt?"

"Swiping tickets?" Wei Xu shrugged and smiled. "I don't have anything to say. I just think that the person who can raise such a question probably has a bad brain. If he has understood how many Chinese fans there are, I don't think he will say such stupid things."

As the No. 1 populous country in the world, although China does not have the densest number of fans, its population base definitely crushes other countries.

Even Yao Ming, who only scored 13 points and 8 rebounds in his rookie season, can easily win millions of votes. Wei Xu feels that he can be promoted to the starting position of the All-Star even if he is lying down. The region also attracts countless fans, and Wei Xu would not be surprised even if he was lucky enough to become the All-Star ticket king in the end.

The reporter was choked, and asked again: "Last year the All-Star vote was won by Raptors star Vince Carter. He won a total of 140 million votes. Do you think you can get 100 million votes this year? Is there any?" Chance to become a new generation of vote king?"

"I don't know how many All-Star votes I can get, but if even Carter can become the All-Star vote leader, I think it shouldn't be too much even if I really become the vote leader in the end?" Wei Xu said innocently .

His dunks are stronger than Vince Carter's. Wei Xu also led his team to double-kill the Raptors in the two matches this season.Everyone is a dunker, and his popularity should not be lower than Carter's. With the support of fans from both countries behind him, it makes no sense to lose to Carter in the All-Star voting.

Wei Xu does not want to break the record of All-Star voting, but if the number of votes is lower than that of Vince Carter, he will be depressed for at least three days without eating
　There is still in the afternoon, eat a meal and then code.
