Legendary star

Chapter 222 adds a new chapter to the fourth rudder of this book (the boy in the black and white shirt)
Listening to the Magic fans on the sidelines pointing at themselves and shouting loudly "Brush, brush...", at this moment, I don't know why Meng Xu thought of Anfernee Hardaway, who left his peak Here, only "Penny" Hardaway, who was injured all over, was taken away.The Magic is a short-sighted team, which has been recognized by the entire league, from the management of the Magic to the fans of the Magic. Maybe it is because the Magic is a new team, or maybe they lack support. Because of the basic love of basketball, basketball is a game in their eyes, so from O’Neal to Hardaway, when you are at the peak, when you are omnipotent, you are the darling in their eyes, when you are from When the peak falls, or because you don’t meet their wishes, you are the garbage in their eyes. Even today, when O’Neal and Hardaway return to the center of the water house, there will still be many fans booing and cursing Come and meet them.

It is difficult for people to understand this kind of behavior of Magic fans. Maybe this kind of fans are only a minority, but in other teams, this kind of situation rarely happens. A meritorious player who has played for the team for many years, as long as it is not because of After tearing up with the team and leaving, when he revisited his hometown, most of the fans were still willing to give him applause. This was the case in the game between the Spurs and the Nuggets some time ago. When Avery Johnson returned to Allah After Moore Stadium, at the beginning of the game, Johnson received warmer applause than Duncan, and this kind of applause is undoubtedly a kind of recognition of Johnson by the Spurs fans, and this will also be a kind of team culture. After Johnson retires, he will also call himself a Spurs legend.However, this kind of culture does not exist in the Magic. What is the history of a team that has just entered the league for 10 years?What culture?
According to the past, Meng Xu should give the ball to Duncan for the first offense after the Spurs' opening, whether it is a pass with Duncan after a pick-and-roll, or directly throwing the ball to Duncan inside, but this time, Meng Xu But he decided to do it himself, and use Anfernee Hardaway's method to complete this first attack. Meng Xu has practiced many times in the system space with Hardaway's iconic sudden throw combined with the in-situ swaying movement. It is intended to be used in a big scene, such as the All-Star game or the Christmas game. Although this kind of action is more enjoyable to watch, it will consume more energy. Therefore, based on the principle of saving energy, in general games Meng Xu would not use it either, but today Meng Xu decided to give it to the Magic for the first time.

When Meng Xu dribbled the basketball with his left hand and took a step forward to make a breakthrough, he shook McGrady for a while, then changed hands and changed direction to the right to break through, while protecting the ball half sideways, crossing the left breast, followed by a Turning over with his right shoulder, before Meng Xu imitated Hardaway's series of moves, McGrady was already shaken away by Meng Xu. After seeing McGrady being shaken away, Meng Xu did not continue the fake moves and changes. Instead, he gathered his footsteps directly, jumped back from the spot, and shot a 3-pointer.

And McGrady, who was defending Meng Xu, was stunned by Meng Xu after seeing the series of actions of Meng Xu. You must know that Hardaway is McGrady's idol, and the reason why McGrady wears the No. 1 jersey is also the No. 1 worn by Hardaway .Therefore, McGrady is also very familiar with Hardaway's signature swaying movements.Although McGrady's talent is high enough, but because the physical coordination is much worse than that of Hardaway, and also lacks a trace of Hardaway's aura, McGrady has never been able to learn this series of movements of Hardaway.At the same time, after Hardaway was injured, his physical fitness was greatly reduced, and at the same time he lost his own aura, so Hardaway can't complete this kind of action now.That's why McGrady once thought that this kind of Hardaway-style swaying in place had been lost, but he didn't expect this kind of movement to reappear on Meng Xu's body today.

When he saw his 3-pointer hit, Meng Xu made a classic Hardaway celebration, turning his body slightly and tilting his head to one side.At the same time, after celebrating the goal, Meng Xu stretched out a finger and pointed to the stand where he called himself a brush just now, then retracted his finger and put it to his mouth, making a motion to signal them to shut up, and then pointed towards the back The field began to retreat.

Meng Xu's celebratory action quickly aroused the dissatisfaction of the Magic's home fans, which led to a larger scale of boos and abuse, but some of these people still chose to remain silent, because Meng Xu Xu's series of actions just now reminded them of this city, the former darling of this stadium, Anfernee Hardaway.

"Ervin, who did you think of with Meng Xu's shot just now?" Michaels on the commentary seat, after seeing the series of actions of Meng Xu, a familiar face quickly appeared in his mind. Seeing that his partner's expression was a little unnatural, it is estimated that the magician is the same as himself now, thinking of the talented, handsome and elegant No. 1 of the Magic team.

"Yes, I think of Anferney in the past. This kind of action belongs to him alone. Today at the home court of the Magic, Meng Xu scored the first goal of the game in this way, which is really amazing. People have a lot of emotion." Although Hardaway was dubbed Jordan's successor by the league since his debut, in the perception of many media, Hardaway will always be the successor of the magician, and Hardaway is also the magician's successor. The only successor that the division has admitted in interviews with the media, Magic Johnson sighs when he thinks of Hardaway, who has a good pace and omnipotence, and thinks about Hardaway's current experience and situation.Back then, Hardaway was considered a player with more potential and talent than O'Neal, but in the end O'Neal was still O'Neal, but Hardaway was not that Hardaway anymore.

"Sigh." Looking at Meng Xu, who was acting like Hardaway, Popovich was not only not excited at all, but had a sad look on his face. There are too many talented players like Hardaway who have fallen in the middle of the game. So Popovich also hoped that Meng Xu would not be next.

When the Magic started to attack, McGrady called Darrell Armstrong to pass the ball to himself as soon as halftime passed. After holding the ball, McGrady shook Mario Eli twice in a row from outside the 3-point line, and jumped directly on the spot Got up and hit a 3-pointer.McGrady is tall and has long arms, and he is very good at jumping and staying in the air, so when McGrady jumps up, the defender often has no way to deal with it.At the same time, due to McGrady's slender figure and elegant and elegant posture in the air, many fans will say that watching McGrady's shot is simply a kind of enjoyment. Regardless of whether he can hit or not, just looking at his shooting posture is enough for the ticket price up.

"Tracey's shooting posture is really beautiful." I have to say that the league will choose to create momentum for McGrady. A player who plays beautifully is naturally very attractive to fans. Listening to the magic fans in the audience, McGrady made a shot. Afterwards, McGrady's name was shouted in unison, and even when someone shouted MVP, Michaels also said with a smile on the sidelines.

"If I don't look at the jersey, I really think that Hardaway and Shaq are back." When Meng Xu used a Hardaway-style pass to assist Duncan with two-handed dunks, Hardaway, who has played countless times on this court, The connection with O'Neal came to the minds of the audience again. At the same time, I don't know if it was intentional. After Doug Rivers called a timeout, the big screen in the center of the water house center played the It turned out to be a highlight of the Magic in the 9495 season, and that season was also the most glorious year in the history of the Magic. With O'Neal and Hardaway, the Magic ranked first in the Eastern Conference with a record of 57 wins and 25 losses in the regular season. In the game, they even eliminated the Bulls 4-2, and even entered the finals of the season. Although they did not win the championship in the end, that season was also the most brilliant and dazzling season in the history of the Magic. Thinking, just two years later, that promising Magic collapsed.

When the first quarter ended, 28 to 20, the Spurs led the Magic by 8 points in the away game. Although McGrady scored 13 points in the first quarter, he was helpless.At the same time, on the field, as Meng Xu used Hardaway's swaying movements many times, coupled with that aggressive pass that looked very much like Hardaway, boos and curses were heard in the center of the water house. It is also less and less, perhaps these fans recalled the glory that Anfernee Hardaway once brought them, and the happiness that brought them.

After the timeout ended, the two teams each sent their own substitute lineups, but because the Magic's substitute lineup was so poor compared with the Spurs, McGrady still chose to stay on the court in order not to be further stretched.This season is also a very critical year for McGrady. McGrady, who has been playing as a substitute for his cousin Carter in the Raptors, has talent but has no room to play. McGrady averaged 15 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.9 blocks per game.It is precisely because of this that the Magic's management dared to fire McGrady's maximum salary, and McGrady's performance this season has also proved that he is worthy of this salary.

At the same time, watching his cousin Carter's outstanding performance, and his increasing reputation and popularity, McGrady also has a little bit of competition in his heart, so in this season, McGrady is desperately proving himself, proving that he is no better than his cousin. Brother is weak, and even more so after Hill's injury.
