The three-point line is really too close

Chapter 138 The mouth-broken "Warcraft"!A game that lost its suspense?
"That still needs you to explore by yourself, I don't have time to go to those places."

"Hey! You won't be practicing all the time, bro, life is bigger than basketball, promise me?"

"That's right," Zhang Bolong said with a smile, "but basketball is definitely bigger than nightclubs!"

"You are boring."

"I'd rather go to Disney for a day."

"Childish, boring~"

Howard pretended to yawn, but suddenly his speed increased.

This seemingly honest and innocent Hei Si actually did something wrong!
I saw him slipping directly into the inside line in three steps and two steps, and then exerted force on the soles of his feet, soaring straight into the air from the crowd.

A dry land plucked the onion, and Nelson's wonderful pass was passed empty-handed.

"It's too easy, Long, why don't you guard me instead?" He shook his head and ran back.

Zhang Bolong ignored him, he found that the mouth of this "happy beast" was really broken.

It's not trash talking, just can't stop talking.

And since he came to the Warriors, he has become less trash-talking than before.

As a leader, he pays more attention to the victory of the game, and the situation is naturally bigger, and the gains and losses in words are no longer important.

Sharp trash talking is just a counterattack against trash opponents. Zhang Bolong didn't intend to use it as a conventional weapon.

He dribbled to the three-point line, ready to fight back with practical action.

After a pick-and-roll, he was replaced by "mobile stake" Batty in front of him.

Under the crotch, change direction, shake out of the open space and shoot directly.

The ball hits hollow again!
"This is a duel between 'Warcraft' and 'Big Dipper'!"

Some reporters have already started writing in their notes.

Although Howard's scoring ability is stronger than most centers, it is mostly based on his strong body and super explosive power, which can suppress opponents in terms of athletic ability.

But his arsenal is indeed very scarce, lacking skilled scoring skills and methods.

Compared with O'Neal's low post, Stoudemire's face-to-basket, and Yao Ming's all-roundness at the same time, he is more like a blunt offensive player, and he is obviously inferior.

Therefore, in many cases, Howard is not the starting point and main attack point of the Magic's tactics, and he can only rank third in the team's shots this season.

However, even if he is strong on the inside, his ability is enough to be called a historical level...

Squatting inside, relying on the explosive power of a gas explosion, this guy has been able to accomplish the feat of one tie and nine times many times.

The magic team that reached the finals in the previous life was equipped with "one star and four shots" around his characteristics.

With Howard's strong deterrence on the inside as a check, other outside players will naturally get more and easier shots.

Ever since, Nelson, Lewis, Turkoglu, Alston, Pietrus, Redick...

This group of shooting masters fired all arrows, and they shot and collapsed the league's long-awaited "23VS24" battle from the outside.

Fortunately, Howard is not that scary now, and the Magic's system and personnel are not that mature.

In this round, "Warcraft" played singles on the inside and faced the basket. Biedrins struggled to hold it, and Harrington also stepped forward to defend, which gave Batty a chance to squat at a 45° angle.

Howard passed the ball, and Batty easily hit a half-block, helping the Magic to overtake the score again.

As the game progressed, the Warriors began to play faster and faster.

Regardless of whether the Magic score or not, the Warriors will quickly rush to the frontcourt, choose to shoot or break through after a simple pass.

With 6:34 left in the first quarter, Zhang Bolong passed Nelson, rushed inside like a hot wheel, and was about to complete an easy layup.

But before the ball fell from the highest point, Howard's giant palm that covered the sky was already oncoming.

"Oh!"

Zhang Bolong's layup was directly fanned out of bounds.

"Hey Dragon, I told you, I'll treat you to a hot pot feast! 'Superman' never lies!"

The next moment, Harrington sent the ball, and Zhang Bolong chose to break through again.

This time, he used Crawford's stunt, dribbling behind his back and jumping for a layup!
Dribble the ball quickly with both hands behind the back, and the whole person jumps in the direction of the ball jumping, so that the opponent can't figure out the direction of his breakthrough without seeing the ball path.

Howard was obviously half a beat too late. When he reacted, Zhang Bolong had already jumped to the other side of the basket, and with a careless throw, the basketball hit the net.

"We Chinese people often say that it's rude to come and not go. Since you're coming to your home court, it's inappropriate to be empty-handed, right?"

His smile was neither warm nor innocent, and even had a hint of irony, but under the influence of his appearance, it was not annoying or repulsive.

"I invite you to eat."

"Shit, there won't be a next time, Dragon." Howard shook his head, obediently went to the sideline to serve.

With 3:24 left in the first quarter, the Warriors took a seven-point lead with 23:16 to go, and the two sides replaced the bench at the same time.

Although Howard scored a quasi-double-double of 8 points and 7 rebounds in such a short period of time,

However, the current Magic team is not one that he can drive.

Nelson has a good shot, but he is not good enough in front of Zhang Bolong. The height gap allows Zhang Bolong to freely switch back and forth between pick-and-rolls and face shots.

Although Old Hill's condition has recovered, after all, he has just recovered from a serious injury, and most of the time he still stops and beats, not daring to use his full strength.

As for Ariza and Batty... one has defense but no offense, the other has offense but no defense, the advantages and disadvantages are very obvious.

Especially when Batty, as the last line of defense of the Magic, faced those excellent swingmen who had broken through the perimeter defense and went straight to Huanglong,
The big man has almost no shot-blocking ability. Usually, he can only raise his arms to make the opponent dribble, or use fouls to stop opponents.

This is why the Warriors made 11 free throws in the first quarter and made 8 of them.

After the substitute lineups of both sides came on the field, it was time for Ellis to have fun again.

Whether the Magic is Kenyon During or Carlos Arroyo, neither can effectively restrict him.

Ellis shuttled around every corner of the three-point line, taking all kinds of shots or layups at his fingertips, and he could get whatever he wanted, which was almost easier than Zhang Bolong's match against Nelson.

At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors took a 31-point lead with 21:[-].

If it weren't for the backup center Darko Milicic who got a few offensive rebounds and scored the ball in the second attack, I'm afraid the point difference would be even wider.

There are too many positions where the Magic can't keep up with the rhythm when facing the Warriors, and their only advantage is only Howard in the growing period.

There wasn't much suspense in the game from the very beginning, Zhang Bolong just wanted to win the game steadily and at the same time complete his task.
