Nene ran over and gave Zhao Ke a high-five to celebrate, and proudly said: "Their inside is too soft, with me and Kurt around, rebounding is no problem! Boss, don't worry about shooting, and shoot until you score!"
Zhao Ke gave him a punch: "Damn it, it sounds like my brother's hit rate is very low!"
Nene laughed, the Magic's lineup is very suitable for rebounding.Reggie Evans scored 24 rebounds in the last game, which made Nene envious. Today he will try to score one too!
At this time, the Magic launched a fast break, but as soon as the offense advanced to the midfield, Jacqui Vaughn, who was in charge of the ball, was intercepted by Larry Hughes!
The 1-meter Larry Hughes almost fell to the ground because of the low center of gravity for this steal. The teammates are very hard on the defensive end today!
Zhao Ke quickly ran to the front field, just after passing the center line, Zhao Ke copied his hand back with a tacit understanding, and received a second pass from Larry Hughes.
The Orlando Magic were still not actively retreating, Zhao Ke took another advantage and hit an open three-pointer.
The Magic called a timeout and was beaten 12:0 in the opening game, with problems on both offense and defense.
Jeff Van Gundy couldn't keep his eyes open from laughing. He stood up and gave high-fives to the players who walked off the court one by one. It hadn't been such a beautiful opening for a long time.
Playing again, McGrady obviously drank a little too much chicken soup, and he was a little overwhelmed, his face was dark and red.
McGrady reached out for the ball, and then singled Matt Halprin with the ball, but Matt Halprin, who had no offensive needs, refused to give up an inch and got entangled with McGrady.
It took a lot of effort to use the league's fastest first step to pass Matt Harprin, but Nene's defense was very timely, and he appeared in front of McGrady with his teeth and claws.
McGrady lost the chance to reach the basket and ended the attack with a mid-range shot.
But McGrady's luck was very bad. The basketball bounced on the rim several times, but it still fell out and was pocketed by Kurt Thomas, who was always ready.
Kurt Thomas held the ball and waited for the Orlando people around him to leave reluctantly. Then he threw the ball to Larry Hughes and ran to the frontcourt by himself.
Larry Hughes, who has practiced Loach Kung Fu, showed off another false pass. In fact, he has already rushed to the basket, and Nene also habitually helped to squeeze out the space for his shot.
But at the moment of the layup, probably remembering what he said in the locker room, Larry Hughes threw the ball again, and Zhao Ke, who was standing at the top of the arc, received the pass.
Zhao Ke thought, "It's too deliberate, you guys!"
But in order to live up to Larry Hughes' good intentions, and facing the thin and soft Gordon Giesek, Zhao Ke forced a three-pointer!
The effect of the two weeks of devil training has shown, and the ball is a solid hit!
During the timeout just now, Doc Rivers asked McGrady to return the heavy responsibility of defending Zhao Ke to Gordon Girisek, not to waste energy on Zhao Ke, and use his energy on the offensive end.
In the eyes of Doc Rivers, whoever defends Zhao Ke has the same effect.
In fact, Zhao Ke didn't use skill packs and defended with different people, so the effect was much worse.
But apart from Zhao Ke, who knew he had a skill pack?
Jeff Van Gundy, who was sitting on the sidelines, frowned. What's the matter with Larry Hughes? Isn't this style of painting right?
This time, McGrady finally hit a mid-range shot in the face of Matt Harprin's close dance, breaking the Orlando Magic's scoring drought, and the score became 15:2.
Seeing that his teammates were so resolute and refused to vote if they had the chance, Zhao Ke completely let go.
Zhao Ke began to run without the ball. Kurt Thomas and Nene took turns to cover him on the outside. Gordon Giesek couldn't outrun Zhao Ke, but now he was blocked by these two big guys and lost him.
In the rest of the first quarter, Zhao Ke used all the shots of the Knicks intensively, and made 13 three-pointers, and hit 8 of them.
Zhao Ke scored 39 points in a single quarter, and the Knicks led by 39 points at 20:19.
Although the teammates didn't score, they were very powerful on the defensive end. McGrady made 9 of 3 shots, Drew Gooden made 5 of 2 shots, and Jacqui Vaughn made 4 of 1 shots.
Jeff Van Gundy saw what these guys were thinking, but he didn't stop him. Zhao Ke needed to take more shots to get into the game as soon as possible. The other players needed Zhao Ke's high score to rebuild their confidence, and the team needed a hearty victory to get rid of all kinds of adverse effects!
Doc Rivers of the chicken thief also saw that the Knicks were single-playing Zhao Ke, and began to double-team him unscrupulously in the second quarter, even three-teaming.
Zhao Ke's shooting rate began to decline, but he still didn't use the skill pack. Only with such a defensive intensity can he develop an abnormal shooting rate!
Zhao Ke made 22 of 8 three-pointers and scored 24 points.
And McGrady, who was used to the intensity of defense, finally woke up. The future scoring champion broke through Matt Harprin's blocking cable and soared into the sky:
第二节15投9中，三分球5投4中，罚球4投4中，砍下26分6个助攻。
McGrady revitalized the Magic team, and the Knicks were beaten by the Magic in a 24:45 reversal in the second quarter.
At the end of halftime, the Knicks trailed by two points 63:65.
In the locker room, Jeff Van Gundy struggled.
Because now Zhao Ke has 63 points in the half, and has the opportunity to touch the magical 100 points of "Zhang [-]".
As long as Zhao Ke scores another 38 points in the second half, the most impressive record in NBA history will belong to him.
But now the Knicks need a victory even more. If they lose this game, James Dolan will definitely throw Jeff Van Gundy out as a scapegoat in order to calm the anger of the fans, and Zhao Ke will not be spared.
Before Van Gundy could speak, Zhao Ke broke the awkward silence first.
"Coach, I'll play another quarter. If I can't lead the Magic by a big score in the third quarter, I won't score points. I will try to win the fourth quarter. Now a victory is more important than anything else."
Van Gundy hesitated, then nodded.But he still secretly made up his mind, if Zhao Ke's shooting rate is still as low as in the second quarter, he must be interrupted!
Nix was hesitating whether or not Zhao Ke should continue to brush. The Magic had already issued a death order, and Zhao Ke was determined not to let Zhao Ke continue to brush!
This is the TD Waterhouse Center, home of the Orlando Magic!
Once Zhao Ke's score breaks the record, the Orlando Magic will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever as a background board!
Therefore, the defensive intensity that Zhao Ke encountered in the third quarter was unprecedented.
At the very beginning of the game, except for McGrady who was cruising around waiting for an opportunity to counterattack, the other four stood firmly around Zhao Ke. The Magic was already shameless, and they directly double-teamed. Zhao Ke had no room to connect the ball!
Van Gundy immediately called a timeout, and Zhao Ke advanced with the ball instead.
With the score behind, Zhao Ke started throwing skill packs!
On the first ball, Zhao Ke received a baseline serve from Larry Hughes, and the four Magic players rushed over to encircle.
But the encirclement is still relatively loose, and there is still some distance from Zhao Ke.
No one expected that Zhao Ke would shoot directly from the bottom line!
