Chapter 764
Between offense and defense.
Su Yan, under the prediction of the 【Eye of the Heavenly Emperor】, freezes McGrady, who is defending him, like a wooden stake in place.
Then he attacks the rim, and after maxing out his speed, hits the same high layup off the glass as Iverson just did.
It is not a complete copy.
But the scene of Su Yan's predictive style freezing someone in place is just as exciting.
McGrady is no pushover either.
During the transition.
At the left arc, facing Iguodala, who has just entered the league, he finds his rhythm with continuous behind-the-back dribbles.
Taking the ball in his left hand, he shifts a large step to the left, feinting a drive, but in reality... he gathers the ball and suddenly pulls up.
McGrady pull-up.
Elegant and mesmerizing.
Crucially... a full 203 cm height, paired with a lightning-fast first step and an unexpected pull-up.
Makes the still-green Iguodala unable to defend at all; he is in front of McGrady but can only watch him shoot, only able to pray inside that it doesn't go in.
But.
This is the strongest McGrady during his two-time "scoring champion" period.
How could he miss when given the opportunity?
"Swish!"
McGrady hits this elegant pull-up jumper, presenting handsomeness and ease to the fullest.
Then the next possession.
Besides the well-known pull-up, McGrady's drive to the rim is also a specialty.
He is seen tearing through Iguodala's defense again, rushing into the paint, and facing Yao, who has come to help, he is not flustered at all.
He grabs the ball and flies up.
Is he going to posterize Yao?!
No.
Yao, who hasn't lost his position at all, jumps to block; it's impossible for McGrady to posterize him.
But.
While dodging in mid-air, McGrady performs a reverse layup, going over Yao's block and putting the basketball into the rim.
Between offense and defense.
Yao also, in the right low post, matches up against McGrady's defense, uses his back to play him, and after making contact, leans on McGrady to spin into the paint.
Although McGrady is right at Yao's side.
At such a deep position, he can no longer limit Yao's offense.
Yao grabs the ball and jumps, finishing the offense very easily with a dunk.
McGrady, who can't stop him, doesn't force a foul to disrupt Yao's offense, not wanting to pick up a meaningless foul.
Yao gives a direct response.
The two clash, which Su Yan sees clearly.
"If it weren't for me, you two would already be teammates, but now you are at each other's throats.
The plot has been changed.
However... because of this, the careers of both Yao and McGrady might be extended.
This might also be a good thing."
Su Yan thinks to himself.
Philadelphia's golden backcourt duo, Bulls' Chinese twin stars.
Su Yan, Iverson, and McGrady go without saying.
The offensive characteristics of the three are different, and once they play their offense, it is all very beautiful, making people unable to help but applaud.
And Yao is not a center who relies on physical fitness.
Low-post hooks, mid-range shots, face-up hooks, and even the budding dream shake, and even... outside three-pointers.
Yao has them all.
His offensive skill is also full.
Besides that.
Iguodala's fast-break dunks also add a touch of violent aesthetics to the game.
In short.
Tonight's game has been a high-quality affair from the start, with back-and-forth offensive duels that let the fans feast their eyes.
