Chapter 84: I'll Give Him to You
Translator: 549690339
The opening jump ball saw both teams' centers as NBA nobodies.
Yu Fei was surprised that Ewing wasn't starting; it seemed the Magic had confirmed that the "big gorilla" had tossed aside the words "youth is an advantage," with only "old" left to describe him.
Magic's starting center Steven Hunter won the ball for them.
The ball went to McGrady from the start.
Yu Fei was matched against Hill, so guarding McGrady naturally fell to Jordan.
It was a rather unwise decision, not to mention Jordan was now 38. Even in his youth, containing an opponent like McGrady who relied on explosive power to breeze past defenders wasn't easy.
Still, the experienced Jordan didn't give McGrady a chance to launch into a violent attack. He firmly blocked McGrady's lower body, thoroughly using his body against McGrady to perform an almost foul-like suppression, causing the latter to shoot in an extremely awkward manner and miss.
