Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 177 Can He Do It?

The basketball flew to the basket under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes.

"Learn a bit, this is basketball, and you will learn how hard Harden is tonight!"

Yuan Qingshan looked up into the air, and Beverly's sarcasm sounded in his ears.

No, the ball went wide.

"Rebound!" Yuan Qingshan shouted.

Whiteside under the basket was already ready, and flew up the moment the basketball was about to touch the basket: the first rebound must belong to the Lakers!
Towns ambushed in a high position with his back to the basket at this time, turning around habitually to try to trap the opponent and help Whiteside reduce competition.

But as soon as the body came into contact with the heart, he was suddenly startled: Why is Howard so thin?
He turned his head abruptly, oops, there was no Howard behind him, it was clearly Capela!
Towns looked towards the penalty area, and the Warcraft Howard, wearing a fiery red jersey, was already flying in the air. With a stretch of his long arms, he easily took the first rebound of the game from Whiteside.

Well!Well!Well!
There was a booing at the Staples Center, a long booing.

The moment Howard touched the ball at Staples, tens of thousands of people recalled the heartbreaking and frustrating 2012-2013 season at the same time.

"Defense!"

"Defense!"

"Defense!"

This is just the beginning, the angry roar of the fans has filled the entire arena like a curse.

The camera was shown to Kobe, who stared at Harden with a serious face, and people could not see other emotions on his face.

Whiteside quickly resisted Howard, and a strong force came, which almost made him take a step back.

No matter what Howard has experienced in these years, Warcraft is a Warcraft after all, even if there is only seven points of strength left, it should not be underestimated.

"Prevent him!"

"I have to stand up even if I try my best!"

The Lakers bench stood up nervously and yelled at Whiteside.

Whiteside gritted his teeth and must not allow him to score easily, otherwise the Rockets' outside line will be more unscrupulous. If their three-pointers miss, the Lakers will only have a dead end.

Towns was hesitant to go to the basket to help Whiteside in the high post on the left.

The smart Capela immediately saw his intentions and hurriedly shouted to the inside line: "Hey, I'm going to be empty, give me a mid-range shot!"

When he yelled, Townston immediately gave up the idea of ​​assisting in the defense, and obediently squeezed Capela into a high position, preventing him from going inside to disrupt the situation.

Coach Scott shook his head silently, have you heard of Capela's CIC?Would Refrigerator McHale hand over the first attack to such a rough guy?

Towns is talented and hardworking, but he is still too young after all.

Sure enough, Howard didn't even look at Capela, bumped his shoulders back twice, opened up a distance of about one step for himself, and then roared to a two-handed slam dunk.

After the goal was scored, Capela smiled wisely at Towns.

Well!Well!Well!
Solid inside singles, beautiful jumping and slam dunks, in exchange for tens of thousands of boos, the disgusting season made the Los Angeles people hate Dwight Howard.

The camera still aimed at Kobe on purpose, he still had a determined face, but his eyes seemed a little colder.

"It's all on me, I failed to guard him." Whiteside retreated with his head down.

Downs ran over and punched him hard: "Put your head up, what, are you going to surrender now?"

Coach Scott touched his chin habitually. Is the Rockets so harmonious now?
Aren't there rumors of a feud between Harden and Howard two days ago?
If McHale can really balance these two stars, I am afraid that after Golden State, the West will once again emerge as a real strong player.

In the eyes of the head coach, the opening was just a test. In the final analysis, it was just an offensive rebound that was grabbed by the opponent's inside line and then made a layup.

Coaches look at the whole board, even the future.

Unlike the angry atmosphere in the audience, the atmosphere in the commentary was much more relaxed.

Tonight, TNT made an innovation. They dismantled the already successful 600-jin combination and the retired head coach combination, and put together Mark Jackson and Shaquille O'Neal, hoping to create more sparks.

Well, the above is just the official announcement before the game. The real reason is that Fliggy Barkley is unwilling to cooperate with the Sharks anymore, and is currently in a quarrel.

TNT can only find Mark Jackson, who is also a bit cheap, to deal with O'Neal.

"Shaq, how powerful do you think World of Warcraft is?" Mark Jackson raised the topic.

"I guessed [-]% before the game started, but judging from the first ball, it's probably [-]%."

Mark Jackson was surprised: "Dude, he got an offensive rebound and a beautiful dunk just now, why is it not as good as expected before the game?"

O'Neal curled his lips: "The reason is very simple. If Howard is really good, why don't the Rockets play positions at the beginning of the game? You must know that Whiteside of the Lakers has a good reputation recently, but after all, he is just a kid who has just opened his mind. If Howard was replaced by the Magic, do you think the Rockets will let Harden shoot three-pointers so irresponsibly at the beginning?"

Mark Jackson tentatively explained: "It is precisely because Howard sits in the paint that Harden can shoot with such confidence, right?"

O'Neill: "Come on, if it's not a temporary switch, it should be Capela standing under the basket, and Harden should trust Capela, right? I guess Harden didn't expect Howard to change to the penalty area."

Mark Jackson was speechless.

The relationship between the two stars of the Rockets is really a cliché, and maybe the outside world can't understand it at all except for the people of the Rockets.

But since he scored a goal here, someone will always be happy.

"Did you see it, did you see it, you are dead, you are dead tonight!" Beverly laughed and nagged at Yuan Qingshan non-stop.

Looking at his mini afro head and standard black facial features, Yuan Qingshan didn't know how to answer, because no matter how you answer, he has a lot of things waiting for you.

Towns sent the ball, Yuan Qingshan glanced at Kobe, Kobe shook his head slightly, and then ran to the frontcourt.

The Rockets sent Trevor Ariza to defend him tonight, and it seems that he will not have any comfortable opportunities.

Yuan Qingshan could only rush forward against Beverly's oppressive defense.

"Coach, the defense on the other side is too tight." Huertas stood up.

Scott nodded, the Rockets' perimeter defense is very difficult, Ariza is a textbook difficulty, and Beverly is an annoying kind of difficulty.

Inside, Howard started as a defensive player, so it's no problem dealing with Whiteside, who is just getting started.

Another insider, Capela, has also made great progress. He is very young, tall, and highly mobile, which is just right for an attacker like Downs.

Even if the above key points are cracked, the Rockets still have a trump card that the Lakers can't handle, and that is James Harden.

Scott thought of more than 100 methods, but there was still no way to restrain Harden.

Letting Kobe top can only be a temporary delay. If Kobe is overdrawn, even if it can be delayed until the critical moment, when Kobe loses his energy, it is tantamount to being caught without a fight.

This problem has already appeared when facing Wall, facing Westbrook, and facing Irving, but it is a pity that it cannot be solved.

To put it bluntly, the Lakers lack an outside gate that can lock the opponent's arrow.

In the long run, on the basis of having Towns inside, the Lakers still lack an outside superstar who can both attack and defend.

Coach Scott stared at No. 16 galloping on the court, thinking, this kid should be able to become a gatekeeper if he continues to practice like this, but he is a superstar with both offense and defense...

Can Yuan Qingshan do it?
