The moment Duncan defended against Howard, Josh Howard entangled Li Ang and did not give Li Ang a chance to catch the ball.

Although Josh Howard's body is not as strong as Li Ang's, he is tall, long, and fast, so he is really suitable for defending Li Ang.

But Li Ang didn't run around like a headless chicken. The Clippers still set up a triangle offense and continued to rely on the power of the system to run out of opportunities without the ball.

After Duncan helped Li Ang set up an off-ball screen this time, Howard couldn't bear it anymore and switched directly to Li Ang.

There is one thing to say, with Howard's agility, even if he is misplaced to defend Li Ang alone, he will not suffer too much.

But Li Ang didn't fight Howard at all. The soul-saving Howard might be able to defend from position one to position five.

But the other Howard can't do it.

Seeing Warcraft coming up on defense, Li Ang directly lobbed the ball to Duncan.

The idiot slammed Josh Howard in the paint and easily scored 2 points with a hook.

The Clippers lead by 3 points!

Van Gundy is so anxious, if it's just a bad offense, he can still accept it.

But the defense can't be guarded, Van Gundy is absolutely unacceptable.

It seems that in the face of Li Ang's off-ball offense, the strategy of double Howard directly switching defenses will not work at all.

After that, the Magic have not found a very good way to curb Li Ang's offense without the ball.

Although Howard can occasionally rely on his abnormal athletic ability to abruptly run out of a huge defensive range and interfere with both Li Ang and Duncan at the same time.

But no matter how much Howard doesn't care about Liu Bi, it's impossible to defend like this every round.

What is even more desperate is that the Magic's three-pointer in the fourth quarter gradually became cold.

In the first half, the Clippers felt cold, and the Magic raised their hands and scored.But now, magic should be iron.

Shooting feel is such a thing, who will the sky spare?It is impossible for someone to be accurate all the time, and it is impossible for someone to be inaccurate all the time.

Although the Magic are not so hard that they can't score at all, their shooting percentage is indeed much lower than that in the first half.

No way, Howard can only take on more offensive tasks.

However, under Duncan's defense, Master Huo's offense was not going well.

At this time, the Magic had fallen behind by 6 points and urgently needed a goal to narrow the point difference.

After the pick-and-roll for Turkoglu, Howard went in as always, but the Turks didn't dare to pass.

Turkoglu's passing has been a bit daunting since he was intercepted once by Duncan in the fourth quarter.

Why is Turkoglu so good?Because this guy is 2 meters tall, he passes the ball after the pick-and-roll. First, he has a good vision, and second, most of them can't stop him.

But now that Duncan can accurately cut off the pass line every time, the advantage of Turkoglu's pass that cannot be intercepted has disappeared.

Howard is uncomfortable, he has not scored for several rounds.

Throughout the fourth quarter, he was either cut off by Duncan or taken off by Duncan.

Howard remembered that Duncan was not that strong before!

Indeed, before today, Howard was more dominant in the statistics of playing dumb.

But this is mainly because when Duan was in the Spurs before, he played the fourth position more often, and he didn't match up with Howard at all.

Playing directly against Howard today, Duncan figured out his offensive habits.

Seeing that Turkoglu had no target to pass the ball to, Howard simply went out and asked for the ball in the high post.

After receiving the basketball, Howard forced Duncan face-to-face, but as soon as he started, Li Ang came over and prepared to steal!

Fortunately, Howard reacted quickly. The moment Li Ang's hand was about to drop the racket, Howard raised the ball into the penalty area.

But before Howard, who had just evaded Li Ang, jumped up to attack the frame, the basketball he held up was blown away by a huge force.

Howard turned his head and saw it was Duncan again!

The big screen at the scene began to play back the scene that just happened. It turned out that Howard just lifted the basketball at that time, but was slapped by Duncan very casually standing there and slapped the ball away...

It is indeed the NBA's double number one in standing blocks and standing blocks.

Howard felt extremely humiliated when Duncan just stood on the ground and waved his hand expressionlessly before successfully blocking the shot.

I am the No. [-] center in the Eastern Conference, you risked me standing up, I don't want to lose face! ?

I'm going to lock you up later!

Stupid: Oh, you can't stand up, so you want to be covered by me on your knees.

However, just when Warcraft wanted to plot against Dumb, the referee blew his whistle, indicating that the Magic team was out of bounds and the Clippers had the ball!

Howard was stunned at once, the ball was clearly shot by Duncan, how could it be the Clippers' ball?

The referee knew clearly that the ball was indeed shot by Duncan, but just now Howard reached out and lightly touched the bottom of the backboard because he wanted to catch the ball reflexively.

So, the last guy to touch the ball is technically Howard.

This made Howard almost faint out of breath.

It's okay to be taken by a bad old man standing upright, but in the end the ball still belongs to him.

You are a female ticket, I want me to pay you back!

Howard turned around cursing and left. He was tortured by Duncan in the fourth quarter today, and Howard's mentality was really about to collapse.

At this time, the live camera naturally gave a close-up of Howard, who was frowning and cursing.

However, it was Howard who got the close-up, but the eyes of the fans were instantly attracted by Duncan.

Because just when Howard was cursing and looking angry, people found that Duncan was smiling triumphantly behind Howard!

Howard's helplessness and anger are in stark contrast to Duncan's playful smirk.

Looking at the comparison, the referee couldn't help but want to give Duncan a technical foul.

Really cheap!

However, it does show very well how different Howard and Duncan are now.

Duncan is now more and more comfortable on the defensive end, playing very easily.

Howard, on the other hand, is a completely clueless headless fly.

The Magic's offense failed again, and they are still 6 points behind.

The game time has become less and less, and the pressure on the Magic is increasing.

Van Gundy clapped his hands on the sidelines, indicating that the defense was tighter.

But contrary to expectations, Li Ang easily got rid of Josh Howard with a back run without even catching the off-ball screen this round, and then hit another mid-range jumper!

The point difference came to 8 points!

Van Gundy was about to swear, how could Josh Howard be distracted at this moment?

But Van Gundy looked up and saw Josh Howard was out of breath.

Just now, Josh Howard was not distracted, in fact he was very focused on defense.

He was just too tired to keep up with Li Ang's footsteps.

The original plan was to let Li Ang attack pain and numbness once, and let him die exhausted in his own attack wave.How did you know that Li Ang's attacks became smoother and more powerful!

But Josh Howard, who was being attacked, couldn't stand it anymore.

You know, Josh Howard didn't put much effort on the offensive end today.Unlike Li Ang, who is attacking and defending at both ends.

Just like that, he was actually tired faster than Li Ang.

Li Ang also doesn't know if Josh Howard has smoked Ye Zi and is useless. With this durability, is it enough to do something?

The Magic's offense and defense are slowly collapsing. At this time, they should change to defend Li Ang.But Van Gundy has never been very good at commanding the field. He didn't make any adjustments, and still used Josh to defend Li Ang.

So next, Li Ang scored more efficiently than in the first half!

After switching to off-ball offense, it was not easy for Howard to help defend Li Ang.

As a result, Josh Howard still couldn't keep up with Li Ang and couldn't block his shots.

The Magic's impenetrable defense began to slowly collapse!

Li Ang's score was also rising crazily. When the game reached the end with only one and a half minutes left, Li Ang had already scored 58 points!

At this time, the Magic also fell behind by 13 points.

It can be said that it is only one step away from a complete collapse.

Watching this game, both Wade and Paul were very upset.

Wade managed to score 42 points tonight, but Li Ang scored 58 points with his backhand.

I'm only in my 20s, I just want to be a scoring champion, what's my fault!

Paul is also trembling and cold. Although this game has nothing to do with him directly, but... 58 points, are you serious?

It is said that Duncan is good at controlling points, but Paul thinks that Li Ang's point control is amazing.

All the control to the breast cannon point!

The Magic led by 7 points at the start of the fourth quarter, and now they lost by 13 points, which reminds people of the glorious tradition of the Rivers era.

Although the old man is gone, he left his reversed spirit in Orlando!

The performance of the Magic in the fourth quarter is simply a disaster. In fact, whether it is the Magic in the original history or the current Magic, there is actually a tradition of collapse in the fourth quarter.

There are probably two reasons for this.

First, the Magic do not have players with particularly strong offensive capabilities.Don't look at Turkoglu as if he is also a key man, but his ability to attack tough problems is actually very limited.

At critical moments, when there are not so many open opportunities, the Magic's offense often stalls.

The second reason is what I said before, Van Gundy's on-the-spot command is too bad.The problems encountered today, Van Gundy may solve tomorrow, but it is absolutely impossible to solve on the spot.

Once the opponent changes tactics, Van Gundy is often difficult to deal with.

In today's game, the Magic made both mistakes.

In the fourth quarter, after Duncan's strong defense, the Magic's offense was at a loss.

And when Josh Howard was about to be run out, Van Gundy still didn't change to defend Li Ang.

The game continued, trailing by 13 points in one and a half minutes, to be honest, the hope of the Magic is already quite slim.

But in terms of touching the chest, it is not without chance.

The key depends on whether the Magic can play this offense and defense well.

With this offense and one defense done well, the Magic will be able to narrow the point difference to single digits.

However, the Magic's offense was still stumbling this time.Turkoglu didn't dare to pass the ball to Howard because Duncan's positioning was too good.

One step sideways can steal, and one step back can protect the frame.

A truly top defender can change the opponent's progress with only a small position.A real top defender is one who can find the opponent's base point just right.

Turkoglu had no choice but to pass the ball to another Howard on the perimeter.

Josh Howard was ready to single out Li Ang after holding the ball, he had no choice.

As the No. [-] Howard of this team, it's time for me to take responsibility!

I, Josh, can't lose to Li Ang all my life!

After receiving the ball, Josh Howard immediately turned around and tried to pass Li Ang.

But I don't know if it's because I'm too tired, or if I haven't attacked for too long.

The moment Josh Howard turned around, the ball was actually out of his hands!

Seeing the basketball fly out, Josh Howard immediately jumped into it.The ball missed, but I fell a hard board with a "bang".

Van Gundy covered his head, you can miss the shot, you can even be blocked.

But why the fuck do you have to be funny!

This inexplicable mistake really frustrated the morale of the Magic.

The referee also went to confirm the replay of the video. They suspected that the ball was taken by Li Ang when he made a steal.After all, such things as turning and dribbling mistakes are too outrageous in the NBA.

But after watching the replay, the referees found that...it's really so outrageous!
