against the front

Chapter 358 Christmas Battle 1
"Boy, no one can stop me!" After the short warm-up, Yan Hua and Dwight Howard, representing the jump ball of the two teams, walked to the center circle one after another, making final preparations for the upcoming jump ball , Looking at Yan Hua who had been staring at him, Dwight Howard said viciously.

"Dude, please start your performance!" Seeing Dwight Howard with a somewhat ferocious face, Yan Hua responded calmly, and at the same time stretched out his hand as a gesture of please.

"Just wait and see." Just when Dwight Howard wanted to say something more, the referee standing aside had already started gesturing to him, signaling him to get closer to the middle circle and start jumping the ball .

The players on both sides were all in place, and with the whistle of the referee on duty, Yan Hua and Dwight Howard rose into the air like two springs that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly loosened.

Such a fast bounce, such a strong bounce, almost at the moment the two of them took off, the audience on the scene let out a burst of exclamation, Dwight Howard has amazing physical fitness, and has always won more than one jump ball in the past. The burden is small, and Yan Hua is also a well-known jumper, so when two strong jumpers stand together to jump the ball, the visual impact brought to the audience can be imagined.

"This guy is really in a different state today." Yan Hua and Dwight Howard, who jumped almost at the same time, also encountered the basketball in the air almost at the same time, but relying on the advantage of wingspan, Yan Hua still went first with Dwight Howard. Howard shifted the basketball to his own half court in one step.

Although he won the opening jump ball, only from the performance of Dwight Howard when he jumped the ball just now, Yan Hua can feel that this guy's state is a bit unusual today, and before the start of this game, Yan Hua also received The system prompts that Dwight Howard's game state is excellent today.

Dwight Howard, who failed to win the jump ball, retreated towards the Magic's half court without looking back, preparing to stand in a defensive position in advance to meet Yan Hua's challenge. The first attack after the opening will basically be made by each team This is the privilege of every team leader.

After Zhu Holiday got the ball in the backcourt, while slowly advancing towards the frontcourt with the basketball, he was also observing the defensive positions of the Magic players on the field. After experiencing the high-intensity baptism of the playoffs this season and winning the championship with the team, Zhu Holiday's mentality is far from that of ordinary rookies. No matter which team he is facing or what level of point guard he is facing, Jrue Holiday looked confident.

Dribbled the ball all the way to the frontcourt, and after getting rid of Jamil Nelson who was defending him very easily, Zhu Holiday hoisted the basketball to the lower left side of the free throw line, and was competing with Dwight Howard. Yan Hua.

For today's game, Dwight Howard was obviously well prepared. After the opening jump ball failed, Dwight Howard quickly retreated and occupied an excellent defensive position in advance, so that Yan Hua could not go deep. The position of the basket.

Yan Hua, who was far away from the basket, did not choose to confront Dwight Howard head-on after receiving a pass from Zhu Holiday. Instead, he lowered his center of gravity and placed the ball to the right side of his body while taking a tentative step with his right foot , made a move that is both true and false. If Howard moves accordingly, Yan Hua will take it back and take the ball to the left to break through the baseline. If Howard does not move, then Yan Hua will directly break to the right. , Get rid of Dwight Howard's defense and go straight to the basket.

Obviously, Dwight Howard had no choice. Almost the moment Yan Hua made a move, Howard followed suit, moving a step to the right, defending Yan Hua's right hand breakthrough.

Yan Hua, on the other hand, changed hands and dribbled the ball to the left in an instant, crossed his right foot and took a big step to break through, preparing to completely get rid of Dwight Howard's defense.

Dwight Howard, who was about to lose his position, rushed over to make up the defense at a very fast speed, but somewhat unexpectedly, Dwight Howard didn't even take off to block the shot, and he didn't even raise his center of gravity.

You must know that if it was the usual Dwight Howard, after Yan Hua's set of movements, he would have already flown into the sky. It seems that Dwight Howard has really worked hard during this period of time.

But this is not difficult for Yan Hua. The reason why Mengmeng's footsteps are unsolvable is because almost all of his footsteps are true and false, false and true. False movements can become real movements anytime, anywhere, and Real moves can also be adjusted to fake moves at any time.

After Dwight Howard didn't take off to block the shot, Yan Hua directly turned the fake into the real one, leaned sideways on Dwight Howard, raised his left hand holding the basketball, and hooked it almost 4 meters away from the basket shot.

"There is no solution, it is too incomprehensible. Dream footsteps plus skyhook, who can defend in this league now!" Amway Center Arena, which was still shouting defense in unison just now, after Yan Hua hit the hook, instantly It became quiet, and Kenny Smith, who was on the sidelines commentary, was also full of admiration for the set of moves that Yan Hua showed on the offensive end just now.

"In fact, Dwight's defense just now was quite good. He didn't lose any position, nor was he shaken by Yan's fake moves, but this is the terrible thing about the fantasy footsteps." After Kenny Smith, Charles Barker Li also echoed aloud.

From the perspective of outsiders, David Robinson in the Western Conference Finals in 95 was ashamed and shameful, but from the perspective of insiders, David Robinson actually performed quite well that year, because he was an ordinary player. Olajuwon just took a tentative step, or a swaying shoulder step in place is enough to kill them instantly, but when facing David Robinson, Olajuwon had to go through a series of complicated feints to get rid of them. David Robinson's defense completes the offense, and it is also conceivable what level David Robinson's defense is.

And this is the case with Dwight Howard now. Dwight Howard last season, when he was on a tight defense, basically lost his position with one or two fake moves, and flew up with just a shake, or it can be said that the current one In the league, most centers are basically like this when they are defending Yanhua.But now, in the defense just now, Dwight Howard was able to insist on not taking any fake moves by Yan Hua at all.
