Chapter 628 He Proves He's an NBA Player (Thanks to Zhong Kui for the Reward!)

Asik wanted to make McGee's offensive foul, but didn't jump, and slid back after the confrontation.

The referee whistled, but signaled Asik's defensive foul!

Asik stood within the reasonable collision zone when defending!

This is a 2+1!

When he saw the referee's gesture, McGee looked excited.

It's just that he didn't celebrate, but turned around and looked straight in the direction of the commentary booth.

He couldn't hear what O'Neal and the others were saying in the commentary booth, but he just wanted to call O'Neal!

There was also a burst of cheers at the scene, and many fans stood up excitedly from their seats, waving their fists and shouting.

This ball is absolutely refreshing!

McGee's talent.

Although there will be short-circuit moments on the court from time to time, his physical talent is enough to support him as a rotation-level player.

But the premise is that he can solve the defensive problem and needs a coach who can trust him.

McGee made an extra free throw, and the Pelicans once again overtook the score.

Bosh turned around and scored on a low back. The Rockets came for revenge tonight.

But Gordon broke through and scored a layup and immediately returned the favor.

The two teams each missed two offenses and defenses. After more than three minutes in the second quarter, the Pelicans led 31-28.

Williams turned around and called Whiteside and Morrow, ready to replace them.

Motie Yunas on the Rockets side is also ready to replace Bosh.

There is no dead ball on the court, and they are sitting on the technical table waiting.

The Rockets' offense, Bosh continued to single Aminu in the low post, this time he did not fall back, but turned around and went to the basket for a layup.

Aminu was completely squeezed by his lanky frame.

This is an excellent scoring opportunity.

But at this moment, McGee squeezed Asik's flying block.

The timing of this block is a bit late, Bosh's ball has been shot.

But fortunately, McGee's bullet speed was fast enough to slap Bosh's shot onto the backboard.

A pegboard hat!

The baseline referee's eyes are always on the ball, and McGee is a big interference ball.

But this block is a good block before the ball falls.

The ball bounced back and was taken by Aminu, and the Pelicans directly played a defensive counterattack.

Dinwiddie held the ball against Terry to the frontcourt.

Although Terry is not strong defensively, he has excellent experience and did not give Dinwiddie an easy layup.

At this moment, Dinwiddie saw a figure quickly follow in the middle.

He looked back and was startled.

It turned out to be McGee!

After this guy blocked the shot, he turned out to be the first to fast break to the frontcourt!

Dinwiddie had a new understanding of McGee's ability when he dunked Asik's ball in front of him. He directly hit Terry with the ball and threw the ball over the basket.

The ball leads people, McGee jumped up from the free throw line, grabbed the ball with his right hand and pressed it into the basket.

"Boom!"

With a powerful one-handed dunk, McGee smashed the ball into the basket.

The scene boiled instantly.

From the block in the backcourt to the completion of the lob in the frontcourt, these are the five best goals of the day!

After McGee scored a goal, he made a one-handed "strong" gesture in the direction of the commentary booth.

When Barkley saw McGee's move, he turned to look at O'Neill and laughed.

This is a blatant provocation.

O'Neill spread his hands, the material has been obtained, and whether McGee plays well is not so important to him.

After more than a minute of playing on the field, the game entered a dead ball.

McGee was replaced. He played more than four minutes in this quarter and contributed 5 points, 2 rebounds and 2 blocks. He played quite efficiently.

And he also helped the Pelicans build a five-point lead, which is more important than how many points he scores.

The main force of the Pelicans came back, Tang Tian and Davis performed well, helping the team take a double-digit lead 56-43 at the end of the half.

Harden scored 21 points and 5 assists in the half, his performance was eye-catching enough, but the help given by his teammates was not enough.

In the critical third quarter, Harden and Bosh scored from the basket at the beginning, helping the Rockets narrow the point difference to single digits.

But at the critical moment, Tang Tian once again showed his MVP performance, and his continuous strong scoring helped the team stabilize the situation.

Davis also had a brilliant performance of blocking shots and dunking 2+1.

When more than 9 minutes into this quarter, the Pelicans opened the point difference to 15 points 76 to 61.

With this point difference, Williams entered the rotation with peace of mind.

McGee also replaced Whiteside at this time.

He continued his excellent form in the second quarter, and gave Capela a head-on cap when he came up, which was quite encouraging.

At the last moment of this quarter, Dinwiddie was double-teamed, he couldn't make a shot, and threw the ball to McGee at the top of the arc.

A three-pointer by McGee at the buzzer.

This is a shot that is basically unsure.

But after hitting the board, the ball went in!

McGee scored a three-pointer at the buzzer!

The cheers from the fans continued, this time they didn't like "my.boy", but really liked McGee a little bit!

There was a roar of excitement from the Pelicans bench.

Tang Tian also got up and applauded for McGee.

McGee didn't seize the opportunity in the last game, but he seized it this time.

McGee's buzzer ball helped the Pelicans widen the point difference to 18 points, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The Rockets' performance in the last quarter was sluggish. The Pelicans finally defeated the Rockets 115 to 100 and won a wave of four consecutive victories.

Harden faced the Pelicans again and scored 38 points and 8 assists. Bosh's performance was average this time, with only 15 points and 7 rebounds. Capela had 6 points and 12 rebounds.

For the Pelicans, Tang Tian scored a team-high 27 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, Davis had 18 points and 10 rebounds, and Whiteside had 9 points and 11 rebounds.

Dinwiddie on the bench had 12 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists, Gordon had 10 points and 3 assists, and McGee had 10 points, 5 rebounds and 3 blocks.

After the game, Tang Tian and McGee attended the post-match press conference together.

"How do you rate McGee's performance?"

A reporter asked Tang Tian about this.

Tang Tian's attitude after the last game had already expressed his support for McGee. This time McGee played well, so they can ask questions with confidence.

"He took his chances and proved he's an NBA-caliber player."

Tang Tian gave a very pertinent answer.

It is rare that he didn't praise it too much because McGee was by his side, and he didn't want McGee to be overconfident just because he played well in a game.

Guarding against arrogance and impetuosity is very important in the NBA.

McGee nodded after hearing this, which was just the right encouragement for him.

"I heard that during the game, Shaq said that he found new material. It was McGee's defensive positioning in the second quarter. Do you think this is an area where McGee needs to improve?"

Another reporter asked.

Tang Tian frowned slightly when he heard this.

It is now well known that O'Neill is Tang Chui, but this approach made him obviously a little unhappy.

"Yes, McGee needs to improve his defensive positioning."

He first affirmed the reporter's question, and McGee was on the side. His words were also a reminder.

"But I don't think Shaq's approach is appropriate. Everyone makes mistakes in the game, and it's wrong to only focus on one person."

He then said with a serious expression.

ps: Congratulations to Zhong Kui Xiaohao for becoming the 14th leader of this book!
