against the front

Chapter 168 Good Dance, Mr. Superman

It has to be said that the brains of the Magic management are always unpredictable. Generally speaking, the teams that reach the finals or win the championship will basically maintain their original main lineup. Strengthening, in order to hit the championship again, or achieve consecutive championships.

However, after the Magic reached the Finals last season, they let go of the outside core Hedo Turkoglu who was at his peak this summer, even though Hedo Turkoglu asked the Magic management for a high salary. The move angered them, but they have to admit that Hedo Turkoglu is worthy of an annual salary of tens of millions. Rashad Lewis can get 1900 million, so why can't he give Turkoglu 1000 million? Woolen cloth?

After Hedo Turkoglu left the team, in order to make up for the vacancy left by Turkoglu, the Magic sent Ralph Alston, second-year rookie Courtney Lee, and substitute insider Tony Batty. The Basketball Kings traded the 32-year-old Vince Carter.

The departure of Hedo Turkoglu and the joining of Vince Carter have also brought about a lot of changes in the Magic's main lineup this season. In today's game, the Magic's five starting players are center Dwight Howard, power forward Rashad Lewis, small forward Matt Barnes, shooting guard Vince Carter, and point guard Jameer Nelson, who started the game today.

As for the Kings, Kevin Martin, who sprained his ankle in the last game, was given a rest by Reggie Troyes today. Kevin Martin belongs to that typical glass physique. There is no one who can play a full game in a season. Major injuries and minor injuries have continued. He was reimbursed at a critical moment last season. Therefore, after Kevin Martin recovered from his injury, Reggie Toyes began to reduce Kevin Martin's appearances. It's time, and at the same time, I started to imitate a certain boss and rest the team's main lineup.

In the absence of Kevin Martin, Reggie Troyce did not arrange the sixth man Andres Nosinho as the starter, but put Tony Allen at the 2 position, ready to let him and the Magic As for the Vince Carter matchup, as for the vacancy left at the No. 1 position after Tony Allen switched to shooting guard, Reggie Troyce chose Jrue Holiday again. After Serge Ibaka has been firmly seated in the starting lineup, Reggie Toyce also hopes that Jrue Holiday can grow up as soon as possible, and like Serge Ibaka, he will be able to play for him in his rookie season. The team provides enough help.

In addition to the backcourt composed of Jrue Holiday and Tony Allen, the other three starters for the Kings are still small forward John Salmons, power forward Serge Ibaka, and center Yan Hua. .

"Boy, get ready to accept Superman's wrath and sanctions!"

When the warm-up was over and Yan Hua walked into the middle circle to prepare for the next jump ball, Dwight Howard, who walked into the middle circle almost at the same time as Yan Hua, challenged Yan Hua with wide-eyed eyes, and then squatted slightly Get down and do all the preparations before the jump ball.

"Superman, aren't you a Warcraft?" Hearing Howard called himself Superman, Yan Hua was amused. Howard liked Superman very much and often called himself Superman, but Howard's most famous nickname was "Warcraft", but today he met Yan Hua. When he was in power, Howard no longer called himself a monster, but called himself Superman, because Yan Hua's nickname was "Beast Tamer". If Howard called himself a monster in front of Yan Hua, he would be short.

"Warcraft, I'm a monster, you bastard!" Once upon a time, Dwight Howard was quite proud of being awarded the title of "Warcraft", but since Yan Hua entered the NBA, and with Mike Beasley After winning the nickname "Beast Tamer" in the duel, Dwight Howard not only disliked Yan Hua very much, but also had some resistance to his title of "Warcraft".

Just when Yan Hua was about to provoke Dwight Howard again, the referee on duty with a basketball signaled Yan Hua and Dwight Howard to prepare for a jump ball. Yan Hua had already made all the preparations , and focused all his attention on the basketball in the hands of the referee, but Dwight Howard, who was opposite Yan Hua, was always staring at Yan Hua, watching Yan Hua's every move intently, preparing to jump in Yan Hua Before the ball, he jumped up first, and then snatched the basketball in the air.

Dwight Howard's move is also feasible, because when the bounce and bounce speed of the two people are similar, the opponent can take off 0.1 seconds first, which can determine the result of the jump ball, so Dwight Howard has been staring at Yan Hua's With every move, he pricked up his ears, ready to jump directly when the referee's whistle sounded or Yan Hua's body reacted.

When preparing to jump the ball, no matter who it is, it is highly concentrated, especially Dwight Howard, who not only has to stare at Yan Hua, but also pays attention to the referee's whistle, which is even more tense. Like a string.

When the referee standing in front of Yan Hua and Howard held the basketball in one hand and put the whistle in his mouth at the same time, and was about to blow the whistle for the start of the game, Yan Hua subconsciously twisted his body, and at the same time went down again. Squatting down a bit, the feet on the floor also moved very slightly, ready to complete the jump in the shortest time after the referee blows the whistle, but after Yan Hua made all the preparations , but saw a blue figure in front of him and jumped up.

"What's the situation?"

Looking at Dwight Howard who suddenly jumped up without knowing why, Yan Hua was immediately stunned, what the hell is this, the referee hasn't blown the whistle yet, why are you jumping up!
Not only Yan Hua, but even the on-duty referee who was standing next to him ready to blow his whistle is now stupefied, and the on-duty referee looked at Dwight Howard and then at Yan Hua. He turned his head and walked directly to the technical platform, ready to confirm with the statisticians on the technical platform whether he had blown the whistle by mistake just now. Although he was very sure that he did not blow the whistle, he looked at Dwight Howard who suddenly jumped up , The referee on duty was also a little vague. If Dwight Howard took off early because he blew the whistle by mistake, he might become a laughing stock and even face punishment from the league.

"Bastard." After the referee on duty left, Dwight Howard suddenly woke up. The referee didn't blow the whistle just now. It was the bastard who misled himself. Dwight Howard, who had been in a tense state, After seeing Yan Hua's body movements, he subconsciously thought that Yan Hua was about to jump, so Dwight Howard immediately jumped up before Yan Hua, but the tragedy was that the referee on duty hadn't blown his whistle yet.

"Mr. Superman, the jump is not bad." Yan Hua was also confused at the beginning, but after the referee on duty walked towards the technical platform, Yan Hua came back to his senses. It is said that Olajuwon once jumped the ball At the time, he shook the opponent's jumper, and Howard was afraid that he was also deceived by his body movements just now.
