In the evening, at the Staples Center, home of the Lakers, fans came to the arena early, looking forward to the peak matchup in the Western Conference. There were players from both sides warming up on the court.Soon the warm-up was over, and the players from both sides returned to their respective benches.

"Hey! Tracy, how about using you as the core of the offense in the first quarter today?" Lin Fengzhe, who still started the game today, moved closer to Tracy McGrady and said.

"Huh?" Tracy McGrady was stunned for a moment, "But this is different from the coach's arrangement!" Tracy McGrady had conflicts with the team's head coach last season, resulting in Almost half of the time was spent on the bench. Now Tracy McGrady doesn't want to do such a thing anymore.

"It's okay. When I'm on the court, I, the point guard, have the final say on who to pass the ball to?" Lin Fengzhe bewitched Tracy McGrady, "Besides, you don't want to be with the guy called 'McGrady II' Let's compete with the guys?"

"This..." Tracy McGrady turned his gaze to the Thunder's bench, but quickly retracted his gaze.To be honest, Tracy McGrady was a little moved. When Kevin Durant really made his mark in the league, Tracy McGrady was being entangled by injuries, and then began to fade out of the league's first-line players in the ranks.Today, Tracy McGrady's injury has almost healed under Lin Fengzhe's treatment. Although I dare not say that he has returned to his peak strength, he still has [-]% of his strength at that time, and he has been in the league for many years. The experience more than makes up for it.

Seeing that Tracy McGrady was tempted, Lin Fengzhe struck while the iron was hot, "Okay, it's a deal! Don't worry, wrap it on me, and I will take care of you if something happens." He patted his chest , to show that everything is up to you.

Thunder here.Kevin Durant came up to Russell Westbrook, put his arm around his shoulder, "Russell, can you pass me more today. You know, I always wanted to be with Tracy McGrady has a real fight, people say I'm the 'Maddie II', I want to prove that I'm just me, not a II or III or something. I hope you can put more of it today Give me the chance!" Finally, Kevin Durant looked at Russell Westbrook solemnly.

Russell Westbrook looked at Kevin Durant's serious look and nodded, agreeing to Kevin Durant.Russell Westbrook himself knows it well. Although he, Kevin Durant and James Harden are called the Thunder's three young men, the real boss of the Thunder is Kevin Durant.It's just that Kevin Durant has a good temper and doesn't care that Russell Westbrook seizes his shot, as long as the team can win.That's why you can often see Russell Westbrook taking a lot more shots than Kevin Durant.Now, for the first time, Kevin Durant approached him and asked him to hand over most of the ball to him, and Russell Westbrook naturally knew what he should do.

In this way, Lin Fengzhe and Kevin Durant accidentally thought of being together...

The referee blew his whistle and threw the ball into the air, and this battle of focus was just beginning.The Lakers' starting lineup remains unchanged except for the positions of center and point guard.The Thunder started with center Kendrick Perkins, power forward Serge Ibaka, small forward Kevin Durant, shooting guard Thabo Sefolosha, point guard Russell Westbrook.

After the Lakers had the ball, Lin Fengzhe immediately ran forward with the ball.The Thunder's speed is very fast, and they quickly settled down and began to organize the defense.Lin Fengzhe saw that his teammates were already in place, so he directly handed over the basketball to Tracy McGrady, and let Tracy McGrady single-play Kevin Durant.

Tracy McGrady dribbles in the high post against Kevin Durant's defense.Kevin Durant looked at Tracy McGrady, who was dribbling carefully in front of him, "Tracey, I'm so glad you can recover from your injury. I always thought there would be no real competition with you." High or low."

"Really?" Tracy McGrady raised her sleepy eyes, "I have always wanted to have a good duel with you, the real 'McGrady II', and now my strength has recovered to more than [-]%. I think we can have a fair fight."

"I'm not a 'second world', I'm just myself." Kevin Durant said, frowning.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be as paranoid as Kobe Bryant." Tracy McGrady didn't wait for Kevin Durant to react, and walked past Kevin with a cross step. Durant, driving in from his right hand.

After all, Tracy McGrady's age is placed there, and the speed is still slower than when he was young.After reacting, Kevin Durant immediately turned over to keep up with Tracy McGrady while extending his arms to try to suppress Tracy McGrady's breakthrough space.

Tracy McGrady relied on her body to be stronger than Kevin Durant, squeezed away the opponent, stopped suddenly and then pulled out.It was too late for Kevin Durant to come up to block the shot again, so he could only watch helplessly as the basketball crossed an arc and obediently got into the hoop.

Russell Westbrook passed the ball to Kevin Durant after hitting the frontcourt.Kevin Durant took a step dribble beyond the left three-point line, and Tracy McGrady immediately came up to defend.Tracy McGrady knows the strengths and weaknesses of Kevin Durant, understands his three-pointers, and his shooting percentage is not very high, so he mainly defends Kevin Durant's breakthrough.

After Kevin Durant dribbled the ball under his crotch, the basketball was handed over to his left hand, his right leg exerted strength, and his left leg took a big stride. He also chose to break through from the right side of the defender.Tracy McGrady immediately moved to the rear right, blocking Kevin Durant's driving path.

I saw Kevin Durant pull the ball back with his left hand to catch a crotch dribble, the basketball returned to his right hand again, and at the same time accelerated sharply, faster than before, and turned from Tracy McGrady The left side breaks through the past.Although Tracy McGrady has tried his best to defend, there is nothing he can do about Kevin Durant, who has already risen in speed.

After Kevin Durant made a successful breakthrough, he faced Paul Gasol, who came out of supplementary defense, and made a jump shot and hit two points.

After Lin Fengzhe took the ball to the front court, he handed the basketball to Tracy McGrady again.At the same time, the players of the two teams also had a tacit understanding to open up space, watching the contest between Tracy McGrady and Kevin Durant again.

"I really didn't expect to be fooled by you." Tracy McGrady looked at Kevin Durant opposite him with a sleepy look, "It's really a new generation replacing the old one!"

Before the words fell to the ground, Tracy McGrady stepped forward and forced a breakthrough without even making any fake moves!Kevin Durant's conditionally fired left foot takes a half-step back.As soon as Kevin Durant moved his left foot and center of gravity back, Tracy McGrady took the basketball back again, and also took back the steps he took, and the whole person reached three outside the line.

Tracy McGrady took the ball and retreated, then jumped up, and made a three-pointer directly facing the basket in the middle.After all, Kevin Durant failed to block the ball. The basketball flew over a centimeter above his fingertips, and the basketball was hollow into the net, a wonderful shot.

Seeing his shot, Tracy McGrady smiled and said to Kevin Durant, "Looks like I'm not as old as the big deal." Then he took a few steps back, turned over and thought about his half-court run Go back and prepare for the next defense.

Kevin Durant hit Tracy McGrady in the high post on the right.Kevin Durant pushed back hard twice, and after the third collision, he took advantage of a left turn and jumped high, a mid-range jumper, and the basketball was hollow into the net.

Lin Fengzhe dribbled the ball to halftime and still handed the ball to Tracy McGrady.Seeing this scene, the guest commentator on the sidelines said loudly, "It seems that the two teams have a tacit understanding, and the initial offense is handed over to the outside players. It makes sense for the Thunder to do this, because their advantage is the outside attack. The strength is strong enough. But the Lakers actually gave up the advantage of the team inside and also focused on the outside. The first three offenses were handed over to Tracy McGrady."

"Okay, Tracy McGrady made two fake moves in a row to induce Kevin Durant to jump up!" The guest commentator said loudly, "Oh! As expected of a veteran and experienced, Tracy McGrady After taking off, Dee rubbed against Kevin Durant's body. It seemed that the ball was about to hit two plus one... It's a pity that the ball didn't go in! But the referee still called Kevin Durant's defensive foul .Tracey McGrady to the free throw line... 3st free throw, well, two free throws. It didn't make a two-and-one, but the two free throws still made it less than [-] minutes into the game. A foul on the Thunder's main scoring point. The experience of the veteran is still very useful."

The head coach of the Lakers bench, Mike Brown, didn't look very good. Although the team's first three offenses were successful, the team did not implement the tactics he had arranged before the game, which made him very uncomfortable. Happy, he is very dissatisfied with the player's behavior.But because the team's current situation is very good, Mike Brown did not take the initiative to call a timeout, but just watched the game on the field coldly.

In the first half of the first quarter, the duel between the two teams on the field was a one-on-one match between Tracy McGrady and Kevin Durant. Given the fiery touch of the two, they maintained a high shooting percentage. The head coaches of both sides did not explicitly object to the team's approach. Even Mike Brown only emphasized to Lin Fengzhe that the team's offense should be sorted out according to the tactical requirements.Lin Fengzhe agreed very well, but when he was on the court, then...

When the first quarter ended, the score was 25-24, with the Lakers leading by one point at home.Tracy McGrady scored 13 points in the first quarter, and Kevin Durant scored [-] points. The two were evenly matched in the first quarter.
