Pirates: I am Six Eyes Sukuna, the strongest one

In his previous life, McGrady participated in the NBA draft in 1997 and joined the Toronto Raptors. His cousin Carter joined the Raptors in 1998. Carter's arrival caused McGrady, who originally got 17 starting opportunities in his rookie season, to only get 2 starting opportunities in his second season when his skills were obviously improved.

Also in his rookie year, Vince Katko did not start from the bench like McGrady, but firmly occupied the starting second position in the first game of his rookie season, and his playing time was directly increased.

McGrady, a sophomore, averaged only 22 minutes of playing time per game, while Carter, a freshman, averaged more than 35 minutes per game, which can only be achieved by the absolute core!

Do you think McGrady will be convinced?

In terms of efficiency, Carter and McGrady in the second year are at a 55-50 level, but in terms of the number of shots, Carter is twice as many as McGrady.

Do you think McGrady will be convinced?

Under such circumstances, when McGrady became stronger and finally became the starting player of the Raptors, his number of shots was still nearly half less than Carter's. McGrady understood that the gap between him and Carter was not a problem of ability, but a problem of team choice. The team was ready to let him be Pippen next to Carter!

But McGrady wanted to be Jordan. Leaving Orlando might be accidental, but leaving Toronto was inevitable.

But in this Celtics team, such a thing does not exist at all!

Han Yi originally joined the team before McGrady, and there was no problem of Carter and McGrady being the latecomers.

In terms of position and attack area, Han Yi and McGrady are also very different. One is inside and the other is outside.

Instead of being a swingman like Carter and McGrady, both of them like to play singles with the ball.

Of course, the most critical point: the difference in strength between Han Yi and Carter is huge!

From beginning to end, McGrady didn't look like he was with Vince Carter, who was called his cousin but had never met him before, but outside the NBA, how was he better than him?

If I had to say where he was better than me, it might be dunking.

But in the NBA, you can't say that you are better at dunking than me, so your status in the team is higher than mine, right?

Facing Han Yi, McGrady was willing to be Pippen, and the only thing he was worried about was whether he was qualified to be Pippen.

Because the gap in strength was really too big!

When a strong person faced a strong person with the same strength as himself but a higher status, his eyes were full of jealousy and surpassing, but when a strong person met an unattainable emperor, all that was left in his mind, or what might exist, was submission.

Just talking about scoring, Han Yi averaged 22 shots per game in the playoffs and scored 36.5 points.

And what about McGrady? He averaged 11 shots per game and only scored 14 points.

The efficiency gap is so big that you don't need to look at the specific hit rate to know how far the difference is!

If you count rebounds, assists, blocks, steals, etc., except for assists, steals are pretty much the same as Han Yi, rebounds and blocks have already blown McGrady to pieces!

McGrady's goal is just to become a superstar in the NBA, while Han Yi is obviously working hard to be the top of the NBA. The two goals are completely different. For McGrady, as long as he is Pippen next to Han Yi, it is enough to make him famous in history!

Therefore, McGrady also feels confused. He doesn't think there is anything wrong with his decision. Now that the San Antonio Spurs did not choose to double-team Han Yi, Han Yi should naturally play with full firepower!

This kind of scoring is definitely stronger. If the Celtics don't touch the ball in one round, it will be a loss. After all, except Han Yi, no one can guarantee a stable goal under the oppressive defense of the Spurs!

The Spurs were naturally prepared to defend Han Yi alone, but this was also a strategic choice they had to make. The Spurs could not double-team Han Yi from front to back, chase and intercept him, and at the same time crush the offense of other Celtic role players.

If it was the Celtics last season, then needless to say, everyone rushed forward and strangled Han Yi to death, and he would be the final winner of this series. But the Celtics this season are too dangerous to play like this!

Although the current Celtics are still an absolute single-core team, the average points per game of the other four Celtics starters are only three points higher than Han Yi, but if they still encircle Han Yi like last season, they will definitely die miserably.

Because the current Celtics have an organizational core like Joe Dumars, an all-around forward like McGrady who can both attack and organize, and a rookie like Stephen Jackson who can go it alone after getting the ball.If it is like this, there is no problem. The Celtics' role players can't make any splashes. But if they send heavy troops to restrict Han Yi, then others may survive.

And when others are alive, at the last critical moment, if Han Yi really wants to take the ball and dig hard, I'm afraid he can directly take the game away. Han Yi's unparalleled big move, the Spurs have experienced it in the regular season!

Heavy troops defending Han Yi, while restricting Han Yi, also reduces Han Yi's physical energy consumption on the offensive end. The reduction in physical energy consumption on the offensive end means that Han Yi, a physical monster, will give the Spurs more pressure on the defensive end.

How big is Han Yi's defensive area? The Spurs coaching staff who watched the last round of the Eastern Conference Finals frame by frame repeatedly have a fresh memory and are impressed.

In the last round, the Pacers chose to encircle Han Yi and then let other points play. The result was that the Celtics team blossomed and they were swept 4:0.

In this process, the Celtics' scoring efficiency was not high because most of the ball rights were handed over to other people besides Han Yi. However, the Pacers lost their accuracy in the whole round under the terrifying deterrence area of ​​Han Yi's help defense outside the three-point line.

The lesson from the past is here, and the Spurs are unwilling to repeat the mistakes of the Pacers.

But the Spurs don't want to be useless. With Han Yi's words, McGrady chose to do it even if he didn't understand why Han Yi wanted to do it, but since Han Yi ordered it, I will just follow it!

Joe Dumars passed the ball to McGrady across half court. McGrady waved his hand and rejected Ben Wallace's pick-and-roll, and fought Sean Elliott one-on-one outside the three-point line.

At this time, Sean Elliott saw that there was still 15 seconds left for this round of attack, so he not only did not step forward to press McGrady, but instead took a step back and looked at Han Yi in the interior.

Because Sean Elliott believed that McGrady would not play a singles game, and the ball would eventually return to Han Yi's hands. Although Han Yi might not play a singles game every time, the ball would still pass through Han Yi's hands before launching an attack!

But at this time, McGrady showed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth:

"I seem to understand why Han wants me to attack more!"
