NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 423 The Winged Beast

But just as Howard jumped up, Li Ba suddenly turned around, took a step forward, and then jumped up with all his strength when Howard caught the ball.

Howard smashed the basket with both arms, and the corner of his eye was lost at this time.

"Snapped!"

Very accurately, he smacked the ball on a big hand, just before it went to the basket.

"Oh, another perfect block! The Hammer show continues..."

In the roar of the Suns commentator, countless palms were shaking, and countless Suns fans were shouting a number: "21! 21..."

After the first quarter, at 18:26, the Suns led by 8 points at home.

A total of 21 rebounds, 13 for the Suns and 8 for the Magic.

In the matchup with Li Ba, Howard grabbed 2 rebounds, and his performance was slightly worse than the previous game.

李坝没怎么进攻，主控篮板，单节3投3中，2罚1中，拿下了7分7板1助攻1抢断2盖帽的数据。

"Mr. Zhang, in terms of rebound control, the hammer still has the absolute upper hand." Yu Jia said during the break.

"The main reason is that the hammer moves half a beat faster, or even one beat. If you move the card first, and move fast, you can have an absolute advantage. Look at Howard's two rebounds, all of which are under the basket. Leaving the basket, he One didn't grab. On the rebounds outside the basket, facing Li Ba's control over the rebounds, his performance is actually no different from other players. Superman's quality can't help him. It can be said that in active service, including Including Big Ben, the Hammer's rebounding ability is already the only one." Zhang Lili said.

"Indeed, the Hammer's sense of rebounding is getting better and better. Many rebounds start to move before hitting the basket. The average time per game is similar to last season, but the average rebounds per game has increased by about three." Yu Jia laughed.

"This shows that his observation of the ball's landing point is getting better and better, and his predictive movement ability has been improved. It can be said that his current rebounding ability is mainly based on technology, while Howard still depends entirely on his quality. On the grade." Zhang Lili said with a smile.

In the second quarter, the Suns came off the bench in rotation, and the Magic played in half-main and half-substitute rotations.

Howard played 8 minutes in the second quarter and had the upper hand when fighting for rebounds with Chandler. He grabbed 3 rebounds in most of the quarter and 5 in the half, which is not bad.

Then there were two second offenses at the basket, 1 of 0 free throw, and scored 4 points.

At 42:46, halftime ended, the Magic trailed by 4 points in the away game, and regained 4 points in the second quarter.

In the TNT live broadcast seat, Barkley said: "In the matchup with the Hammer, the rookie Howard is obviously at a disadvantage. Apart from other things, in terms of rebound control, he is not yet qualified to challenge the Hammer."

"Well, I have to admit that you are right." Kenny Smith laughed.

Back at halftime, the game started, the two sides returned to the starting lineup in the first quarter, and the Suns attacked.

At the top of the arc, Marbury broke through with Joe Johnson's pick-and-roll.

At this time, the right wing was low, and Marion suddenly withdrew, leaving Tony Batty a step behind.

Marbury saw it and immediately scored the ball.

Marion caught the ball and made a jumper and scored two points.

"boom!"

It's a pity that the ball missed and bounced high.

"Great, my side!"

Howard looked up at the ball, and the ball bounced to his left. Overjoyed, he quickly moved to the left, but unexpectedly, as soon as he moved, he hit a person like a headless fly.

"Hammer?"

When he saw it, it was Li Ba who was on his right. He couldn't help being stunned, moving so fast?

"Look, that's how the Hammer grabs rebounds. You don't need to watch the ball, I just move in place first, and grab the spot first."

Zhang Lili laughed loudly.

Li Ba grabbed the rebound and directly arched back.

"Oh!"

Amid the heavy impact, Howard was pushed back. Li Ba took the opportunity to take half a step back with his left foot, pinning it out of Howard's left leg, preventing him from turning around smoothly. At the same time, he turned around and pressed his left arm down Passed Howard, held the ball with one arm, jumped up and dunked.

At this time, Howard couldn't turn around normally, he stood up and pressed down, feeling very aggrieved and helpless, with nowhere to use his strength.

"boom!"

One-arm dunks, the basket trembled.

"Di!"

Howard didn't take off, blocked the foul, and added a free throw.

"Rookie, why don't you dance?" After landing, Li Ba's trash talk came.

"You fouled." Howard shot back.

"Oh! Get out of the way, don't get in the way."

I foul?It was obviously your foul, Li Ba cracked his mouth and laughed silently, raised his hand to push Howard away, and walked to the free throw line.

"You can't beat me, I bet."

Facing Li Ba's back, Howard sprayed again unwillingly.

Li Ba froze, feeling like he had been hit by a rookie.

At the free throw line, Li Ba took aim and aim again, then felt uncomfortable again, wiped off his sweat, dribbled the ball a few times, and then prepared to take aim and then shot...

"Di!"

Ten seconds passed, the referee signaled a violation and the ball was exchanged.

"..."

Li Ba froze for a moment.

"Ha ha!"

Howard laughed smugly.

Not only did he laugh, many Suns fans covered their faces and laughed, and more than half of them were wearing the No. 38 home jersey.

"My free throw percentage has actually reached 6%, not worse than O'Neal's. Next season will definitely be 8%, at least 7%."

While returning to defense, Li Ba said to Marbury.

"Hammer, I heard that the rookie in the Magic only made 5% of his free throws," Marbury reminded.

"..." Li Ba's eyes widened in an instant, and he yelled strangely, "5%? It's lower than me, so why does he have the face to mock me?"

"Haha!" Marbury burst out laughing.

"Dwight, if the hammer attacks with the ball again, cut him directly." Coach Johnny Davis shouted from the sidelines.

"OK!"

Howard nodded excitedly.

"Special."

Li Ba also heard it, and laughed angrily, he felt so fucking bullying.

The Magic attacked, and Mobley made a mid-range shot after breaking through.

Sun attack.

"ball."

Li Ba yelled as he rushed to the basket.

Howard immediately leaned forward and tried to squeeze it first, but it didn't work, he couldn't squeeze it.

"Rookie, go around and defend!"

Tony Barty from behind reminded.

Howard quickly slowed down and landed behind Li Ba. While rushing to the basket, he kept turning his head to see if the ball was coming.

Marbury really made the pass, and he still doesn't believe it, this rookie can really touch the top of the backboard?

Howard saw the ball coming and jumped with all his might.

Li Ba turned around and took a look, lying down and rubbing, it really has wings!

"Snapped!"

Howard really intercepted the falling ball with one hand.

"Wow!"

There was a lot of exclamation in the arena.

Francis signaled Howard to pass the ball. The latter grabbed the ball with his right hand and was about to pass the ball. Li Ba suddenly appeared from behind his right side. With a slap, he slapped the ball down. Accurate capture.

"damn it!"

Howard was in a hurry and started to grab directly.

Li Ba turned sideways to face the basket, and hit Howard with his right shoulder. The latter's center of gravity was knocked loose, and the former leaped forward.

Howard wanted to foul, but it was too late. With Li Ba's speed of getting up, he couldn't hold it down anymore.

"boom!"

Heavy dunk with one arm, trembling at the basket.

"what!!!"

The fans cheered instantly.
