against the front

Chapter 172 I want to play ball
"Who can tell me how to defend this guy?"

The Magic challenged the Kings in an away game. When the game entered the second half of the second quarter, Stan Van Gundy on the sidelines looked at Yan Hua who was leaning against Ryan Anderson under the basket and made a forced shot. He wanted to hit his head hard. hit two punches.

Today's game was originally a battle for the number one center in the league between the Kings and the Magic, and it was also a battle for the number one center between Dwight Howard and Yan Hua. Hua's solo dance, Dwight Howard, who was supposed to be the protagonist of this game, can only sit on the sidelines and watch Yan Hua blow up several insiders of the Magic one by one.

As the core of the Magic's offense and defense, Dwight Howard played less than 3 minutes in the first quarter and had to go off the field because of two fouls. It exploded directly, or it can also be said that before Dwight Howard went off the court, the Magic's inside line actually exploded.

Whether it's Dwight Howard or Marcin Gortat, Yan Hua hits them with his footsteps, and if he shakes them a few times, they fly away. They can't stand behind them, even if Rashad Lewis Cooperating with them to double-team Yan Hua, it has no effect. Sometimes even Rashad Lewis, who rushed to double-team, is swayed by Yan Hua, but Ryan Anderson doesn't like it very much. Shaking, but his physical fitness is too poor, as long as Rashad Lewis' double-teaming is a little slower, Yan Hua will push him all the way to the basket.

In the defense just now, Rashad Lewis' double-teaming was half a beat slower, and Yan Hua hit Ryan Anderson directly with a hook. This guy's sense of finding offensive opportunities is really too keen, so Stan Van Gundy really didn't know how to defend Yan Hua anymore. Now Van Gundy even had the idea of ​​calling his teacher and asking him for advice on how to deal with this situation.

"It seems that we can only let Dwight play." Stan Van Gundy, who couldn't think about it, could only focus on Dwight Howard on the bench. After Howard's two fouls, Stan Van Gundy did not arrange him to play in the following games, but kept him on the bench. I hope Howard can calm down, think about his own gains and losses, and find a way to break the game.

But now, Stan Van Gundy has discovered that it is really impossible not to let Howard play, because only Dwight Howard can barely withstand Yan Hua among the insiders of the Magic, and if he wants to use double-teams to restrict Yan Hua, he must There needs to be a defensive player who can withstand Yan Hua behind the back, like Ryan Anderson, if the teammate's double-teaming is a little slower, he has nothing to do with the inside line, and there is no way to complete the double-teaming task at all.

"Dwight, the team needs your help!" With a very simple sentence, Dwight Howard stood up directly from his seat. Howard wanted to play a long time ago, because Howard didn't want to lose, didn't want to lose today I don't want to lose this duel with Yan Hua.

"Little bastard, I will never lose this game, absolutely not!" After being dragged by the head coach Stan Van Gundy for a while, Dwight Howard took advantage of Yan Hua's free throw and replaced Ryan. -Anderson, after stepping on the court again, looked at the back of Yan Hua making a free throw, Dwight Howard's fists were tightly clenched together, and the Magic players on the court, seeing Dwight Howard re-entered After appearing on the stage, as if he had found the backbone, all of his faces showed a relaxed look, especially Ryan Anderson, who was replaced by Dwight Howard, even gave Howard a high-five with a smile on his face.

Ryan Anderson is eager to play, hoping to get more playing time and opportunities, but Ryan Anderson doesn't want to play to be a sandbag, so even though he was replaced by the head coach, Ryan Anderson There was no trace of frustration, but a look of relief, because to Ryan Anderson, Yan Hua was simply a devil, a devil enough to swallow him alive.

"Dwight, you are welcome to play again. With you on the court, victory is more meaningful." Although he missed the first free throw, he watched Dwight, who had walked to the edge of the paint area, changed positions with his teammates and prepared to grab a rebound- Howard and Yan Hua still smiled.

"Asshole, fine your balls, don't always hit the iron." Although Yan Hua had a smile on his face, Dwight Howard could not see any warmth and kindness on Yan Hua's face. Hua's smile was full of sarcasm and provocation.

After the second free throw was made, Yan Hua looked at Dwight Howard and quickly retreated to the backcourt. Although Ryan Anderson and Marcin Gortat were much easier to deal with than Dwight Howard, But Yan Hua still hopes that Howard can play and be defeated by himself.

After Dwight Howard sent the baseline ball, Jameer Nelson took the ball directly to the frontcourt, and while the Kings players hadn't all retreated in place, he passed the ball to the left three-point line Vince Carter, Vince Carter was there in the direct shot.

Dwight Howard, who just passed the middle circle, looked at his teammate who had already completed the attack, and his face, which was not very pale at first, became even darker in an instant. If Jameer Nelson's current actions are due to head coach Stan Van Gundy It means that the Magic is ready to abandon the original tactical system and prepare to recover the situation on the field by speeding up the pace of the game, but this kind of fast-paced game is not suitable for a big center like Dwight Howard. It is undoubtedly very cheating, because the faster the pace of the game on the court, the harder it is for them to adapt.

"What is Stan Van Gundy doing?" Don't say that Dwight Howard is very dissatisfied with his teammates on the field when they shot without being in position. Even Charles Barkley on the sidelines commentary, Some people can’t understand the Magic’s current tactics and style of play. For a team with Dwight Howard, the best choice is to slow down and play positional warfare. Even if they can’t score, Dwight Howard can still rush Offensive rebounds, and Howard is still near the middle circle now, you have already shot shots, isn't this nonsense?

"Go to the doctor in a hurry!" Kenny Smith, who was sitting next to Barkley, couldn't help but shook his head after hearing his partner's complaints. The current situation on the field, falling into positional warfare is undoubtedly against the king. Even more advantageous, because the King's inside line can suppress the Magic's inside line, so as long as the two sides enter a slow-paced positional battle, the Magic will have no chance at all, just like the current score of 48 to 37 between the two sides, so the Magic can only choose Speed ​​up, use the method of speeding up the pace of the game to try to regain the situation on the field, but speeding up the pace of the game will undoubtedly mean that Dwight Howard is useless on the offensive end. This change is definitely a double-edged Sword, maybe before the magic killed the king, it killed itself first.

"fuck!" Watching Vince Carter miss a shot under the interference of Tony Allen, and the rebound was caught by Serge Ibaka, Dwight Howard, who had not yet reached the top of the arc, slammed He scolded fiercely, not knowing whether he was scolding Vince Carter and Jameer Nelson, or the head coach Stan Van Gundy.

"Bastard, this time, I will never let you succeed!" In the transition of offense and defense, when Yan Hua appeared in front of Dwight Howard again and competed for position with Dwight Howard, Dwight, who was already a little unhappy -Howard, after seeing Yan Hua's cheap expression, his unhappiness immediately escalated into anger.

"Dwight, don't jump, don't jump, don't jump." Before Yan Hua could attack with the ball, Stan Van Gundy, who was standing on the sidelines, had already started praying. In the next defense, Dwight Howard Don't fly as fast as the front, he just needs to stand firmly behind Yan Hua and wait for Rashad Lewis' double-team. As long as Howard can get stuck, wait until Rashad-Lewis' double-team is in place , Yan Hua's offense cannot be completed, and once the Magic defends against Yan Hua's offense, whether it is Dwight Howard or the other Magic players on the court, they will re-establish their confidence in defending Yan Hua .

Just when Stan Van Gundy was praying and staring at Howard, who was already entangled with Yan Hua, and was about to watch their next matchup, Yan Hua did not pause after receiving a pass from his teammate. After leaning hard behind him, he turned around and hooked his hands directly. Dwight Howard stabilized himself after taking a half step back, but this time Howard was not caught by Yan Hua. The fake move of turning around and hooking his hands was tricked, but he tried very hard to control himself and let himself stand firmly in place.

"Can't jump, can't jump!" While resisting Yan Hua, Dwight Howard kept chanting that he couldn't jump, so as to remind himself repeatedly not to eat Yan Hua's fake moves, but this time In the defense, Howard's way of reminding himself by nagging has obviously achieved results.

While Yan Hua was turning towards the bottom line, Dwight Howard also moved. Following the direction of Yan Hua's turn, Howard took a half step back towards the side to ensure that after Yan Hua completed the turn, he could still Stand in front of him.

However, while Dwight Howard was retreating, Yan Hua stopped his turning body, turned in the opposite direction, and halfway through the turn, raised the basketball in his hand again.

Seeing that he was about to complete his turn and shot, Dwight Howard, who had just stabilized his position, couldn't help it anymore, just like that, he took a step forward and stood up, but Dwight Howard, who had just jumped up, found to his annoyance that he was still following Yan Hua's way.

Dwight Howard, who had already jumped into the air, subconsciously stretched out his arm after realizing that he had been cheated, trying to stop Yan Hua who was about to pass through his armpit, but Dwight Howard's arm After blocking Yan Hua, Yan Hua, who was walking, stopped directly, jumped up against Howard's arm, and shot.

"Beep!" A clear whistle sounded, and Dwight Howard made a defensive foul!
Three fouls, Dwight Howard, who received two fouls and was forced off the field after only 3 minutes in the first quarter, got his third foul of the game after only 30 seconds in the second quarter foul.

Generally speaking, players who got three fouls in the first half of the game, except for those who were originally used to consume the opponent's meat shield and cannon fodder, will be replaced and sit on the bench to rest, but when After Dwight Howard received his third foul, Howard didn't leave the court, but went directly to the edge of the paint area, waiting for Yan Hua's free throw. Regarding this scene, Stan Van Gundy, the head coach of the Magic, was also very helpless of.

As a "child" who can't grow up, Dwight Howard likes to play petty temper very much. For this, no one can change him. If Dwight Howard is a role player, if he dares to play petty on the court Temperament, I am afraid that Stan Van Gundy has long been put on the injured list, or even kicked directly to another team, but Dwight Howard is the core of the Magic, even if he plays small temper on the court, no one will take it how is he.

However, Dwight Howard quickly paid the price for his small temper. Only 3 minutes after Howard reappeared, facing the double-team of Dwight Howard and Rashard Lewis, Yan Hua, who was attacking with the ball, was Once again, he performed some magical footwork. After hitting Howard twice in a row, Yan Hua relied on Dwight Howard to shoot, and Howard, who was furious, hit Yan Hua fiercely when Yan Hua shot. Yan Hua's arm.

The referee on duty who was close at hand blew his whistle almost the moment Dwight Howard hit Yan Hua's arm.

Four fouls, Dwight Howard received his fourth foul of the game in the first half!

After landing, Dwight Howard looked at Yan Hua who was lying on the ground, then at the referee on duty who made a defensive foul gesture, suddenly felt a sore nose, then turned his head and walked towards the sidelines go.

"I want to play!" This sentence is undoubtedly the portrayal of Dwight Howard's current psychology. He walked straight to the sidelines and took the towel handed over by his teammates. Dwight Howard directly covered the towel on his head. Sitting on the bench seat, no one could see that Howard's eyes covered under the towel were shining with crystal tears at the moment.

"The Magic is finished!" Trailing by more than ten points, Dwight Howard, who is the core of the team's offense and defense, received four fouls before the end of the first half. In today's game, the Magic has no opportunity.

"Kenny, you're right." After Kenny Smith said that the magic is over, Charles Barkley on the side echoed it. I don't know if he was echoing Kenny Smith's magic. Still echoing what Kenny Smith said at the beginning.

　Thanks to the broken kitchen for the reward, thank you.

　　Thanks for the reward of Stranger Strange Words#, thank you.
