Chapter 158
Kaman, who still played at the level of an All-Star center in the Knicks, became a sick cat in an instant after meeting Su Hao tonight. His rim protection
, which was not very strong to begin with, disappeared directly. On the offensive end, his tough collision did not work at all in front of Su Hao.
Talent is overwhelming.
Insufficient strength.
Just a comparison of one quarter of the game.
Everyone suddenly had a doubt in their hearts, is Kaman really an All-Star player?!
Ordinary.
Compared with Su Hao, he is really too mediocre.
As for Byron Davis, he still played like an All-Star player.
In the matchup with Curry, he has always had an advantage, and he is also an organizer.
The overall performance is not bad.
But... he can only tear open Curry's defense line and occasionally use mid-range shots to solve some offenses.
Once he rushed into the penalty area and broke into Su Hao's penalty area, facing Su Hao's long-arm block, his efficiency dropped sharply.
There is no way.
Su Hao's defensive ability, which ranks first in the DPOY list, is impenetrable in the penalty area.
Although Curry cannot limit Byron Davis on defense, he can beat Byron Davis one-on-one on offense.
His three-point shooting is even better than Byron Davis, especially when Su Hao is there to protect him and give him more second-chance opportunities. In terms of three-point shooting and scoring,
Curry is better than Byron Davis.
And Curry is also the absolute point guard core of the Clippers. He is the core organizer of the team.
He is also a point guard with the ability to connect the team.
In terms of assists, he is no worse than Byron Davis.
In short,
Su Hao is better than Kaman.
Curry is slightly better than Byron Davis.
"The"Davidson College Twins" completely defeated the Clippers' former All-Stars Kaman and Baron Davis.
In the duel with their old club,
Kaman and Baron Davis not only failed to redeem themselves, but also let the entire league know that the Clippers' management's offseason choices and trades were not wrong.
After the first quarter, the Clippers led by 5 points.
At the end of the half, the Clippers easily gained an 11-point lead.
After three quarters, the Twins had widened the gap to 17 points, heading for 20 points.
The game was basically over.
But there was still one quarter left, so they could still struggle a little.
The last quarter.
First, the substitutes faced off.
Al Harrington, the team's substitute but the second-highest scorer, made two consecutive three-pointers, helping the team narrow the 17-point gap to 11 points.
The game instantly became suspenseful.
The twin towers of Jordan and Camby connected with each other and passed an aerial relay to each other to stabilize the morale of the team.
It seemed that the Knicks still couldn't hold on.
But at this moment, McGrady, who averaged only 8.
3 points per game this season and could only become a money-making tool to increase popularity,
"Swish!"
""Swish!"
McGrady made two consecutive pull-up shots.
They were all against the defense, with a lot of difficulty, a bit like a dream back to the peak.
While the fans were wondering what was going on,
"Boom!"
McGrady rushed into the basket like a god, dunked over Jordan, and scored 6 points in a row.
It was sudden.
It was unexpected.
It was shocking.
But it only lasted for a moment, and then the cheers like a tsunami resounded throughout Madison Square Garden.
"pretty!"
"McGrady seemed to want to tell the league that he has not fallen, he has not been destroyed by injuries, and he still has the ability to rekindle himself!"
"Are you back? T-mac!"
"Is McGrady going to dream of returning to his peak?!"
"" Love it, love it!"
The fans were excited.
A large number of fans came just for McGrady, even though he was already bruised and injured and couldn't play well.
But the fans just loved to watch it.
This is the popularity that McGrady, who was once one of the"four major shooting guards", has accumulated.
This is also the reason why the Knicks would take over McGrady with a high salary.
That is to say, McGrady can still explode and play at the same level as his peak.
The Knicks management will be secretly happy.
Four minutes of rotation.
Harrington and McGrady's continuous explosion helped the Knicks narrow the 17-point gap to 10 points.
The game was suspenseful again.
However.
After the timeout, after the starters of both sides came back, the Clippers' twin stars, one inside and one outside, quickly widened the gap.
In the starting confrontation, the Knicks were no match for the Clippers.
Byron Davis and Kaman were pressed to the ground by the rising stars Curry and Su Hao.
It really didn't work.
Coach D'Antoni, who was scratching his head anxiously, tried to replace Harrington and McGrady, who were in good condition. Come up.
Can you do it?!
Sorry, no.
They can only play well on the bench. McGrady's explosion has always been relative to the Clippers' average bench defense strength.
Really meet Gordon, Russell, or... Su Hao, who is at the top of the DPOY list.
McGrady, who was ruined by injuries, is really not playable.
The intensity of the defensive shooting on the outside forced McGrady to attack the basket, and met Su Hao, who was only one person defending.
It looks like a profit.
In fact... it's worse.
In less than three minutes, McGrady was blocked twice by Su Hao in a row, and it seemed like he was robbing Harden. He snatched the rebound that he had protected from McGrady in an extremely domineering way.
It was a bit unbearable to watch.
There is no way.
Su Hao's strength is too terrifying.
When you give him a hand, press on the basketball, and give him the opportunity to compete with you for the basketball, you have already lost.
Even if Harrington and McGrady, who seemed to have returned to his peak, came on the court, it was useless.
The lowest score difference was only 10 points in the last quarter, and it reached 17 points with three minutes left.
"Why……"
D'Antoni sighed, called a timeout with some helplessness, replaced the starters, and gave up the game. McGrady played for 9 minutes in the last quarter tonight , nearly 7 minutes. His performance was okay. Although he lost, he was resting on the bench.
���He was in a relatively relaxed mood.
Such a good performance was a bit rare for him at this stage.
McGrady was in a good mood. While drinking water and wiping his sweat, he looked at the data panel to see his good data tonight.
At this glance,
McGrady's attention was immediately attracted by a line of extremely dazzling data.
Clippers No. 7 Su Hao, 24 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists and 9 blocks in the game, another game that was infinitely close to a large triple-double.
"？？？"
McGrady's scalp was numb."Su Hao didn't brush any stats tonight. Can he really get such exaggerated stats in every game?!
Is this a stat a rookie can produce?!
Even Shaquille O'Neal can't do it, right?!"
McGrady was shocked. No matter how much he heard about the Clippers and Su Hao, he could only feel how powerful he was after playing against Su Hao on the spot.
After reading Su Hao's stats, McGrady took another look at Su Hao, his huge and strong body like the"Hulk".
"Hiss…"
McGrady twitched his lips, and then his eyes flashed with a fiery light,"Hulk, I want to win the championship!!!"
