NBA Tyrant
Chapter 50
In more than 4 minutes, Howard led the bench to play a 12:4 offensive climax and overtook the score in one fell swoop.
The home fans at the Amway Center were overjoyed and cheered for Howard in a frenzy of excitement.
On the sidelines, Mavericks head coach Don Nelson touched his forehead irritably.
"I just called a timeout, and if I call it again, it will definitely affect morale, forget it, I have to believe that Nowitzki will respond and get the score advantage back again, just wait and see. "
The Mavericks attacked, Nowitzki covered the off-ball Mike Finley from the outside, and Howard had to follow because Nowitzki had good three-point ability.
Mike Finley used the cover to rush inside, and Howard didn't dare to misplace to follow, otherwise Nowitzki would play Stevenson in a misplaced position, and if he wanted to score, it would be easy.
Stevenson was blocked, a step slower, and Terry immediately put the basketball in his hand and passed it straight to the cutting Mike Finley, who rushed to the basket, unguarded, and scored a layup.
In order to get Dampier out of the box, Turkoglu didn't have the energy to come over and make up for it.
31:32
Magic calls a timeout.
"Mobley, I need your perimeter defense and on-court adaptability, give me a limit to this Mike Finley, Francis, I still believe you can step up and lead your teammates and score, don't give Terry easy passes, both of you are experienced players......"
Head coach Johnny used his spiritual blessing Dafa to instill energy in the two.
Nelson and Stevenson were replaced, and the two were too immature in defense and on-court experience, and a simple cover in the face of the Mavericks could give opposing players a chance to score, and head coach Johnny couldn't bear it.
Coupled with Nowitzki's outside projection, Howard can't defend on the inside, acting as the team's last line of defense and helping the outside line to make up for it.
So, Johnny intends to put the experienced Mobley and Francis duo up and break the Mavericks' cover offense.
Francis dribbled the ball, crossed the half, and gestured to Howard to cooperate with the blocking and dismantling tactics.
Howard didn't want to consume too much on the inside and Dampier, so he stepped forward to cover for Francis, easily blocking the skinny Terry, Francis rushed in, and seeing that Dampier was still two steps away from him, Francis turned cold.
"Hmph, do you really think I didn't shoot!" Francis
shot another mid-range jumper, and this time Francis was very determined.
Because of Francis's poor hand in the first quarter, Howard was also worried that he would hit the iron, so he hurried to the basket and wrestled with Dampier to compete for the rebound.
But this goal, Francis did not disappoint the Magic team and the fans on the spot, the basketball accurately went into the net, and the Magic team overtook again.
Then, the Mavericks still still have Nowitzki as a cover, but now it is the veteran Mobley who defends Mike Finley, Mike Finley receives the ball, and Mobley has also followed, blocking in front of Mike Finley, Mike Finley forced a shot, was seriously interfered with by Mobley, and hit the iron accurately.
"Yo, Finley, do you look down on my defense so much! dare to shoot directly at my head!" Mobley looked smug when he saw that he had successfully interfered.
"Cut, just you, I want to score, it's a matter of the minute!" Mike Finley snapped back.
Howard again covered Francis for a pick-and-roll, Dampier didn't step forward to delay the defense, and Francis hit another shot.
The offense and defense of the two teams are staggered, the Magic team hit 4 consecutive balls in Francis's hot hand, and the score rose extremely fast, while the Mavericks, Mike Finley was defended by Mobley, 3 in 0, the big words just said were slapped in the face, and the scores of the two teams were instantly opened.
39:32
The Mavericks led by seven points at the beginning of the second quarter and now fell behind by seven points, and head coach Don Nelson couldn't bear it and quickly called a timeout.
Francis's fiery hand made Don Nelson have to change his defensive strategy, and when he arranged for Dampier to defend behind him, he actively stepped forward to make up for the delay, but also asked Terry to go around the cover in advance, so as not to be stupidly blocked by Howard and not move.
Coming back from the timeout, the Magic brought on Hill for Garriti.
Howard looked at the Mavericks, and he didn't have to guess to know that he must have focused on the tactics of defending Francis.
"Hey, hey, but we're not dead-headed!" The
Mavericks' Josh Howard hit an offensive shot, but the rebound was snatched away from Tekoglou by Dampier again, and Dampier scored on a second offense.
to the Magic offense, sure enough, Dampier stepped forward directly to delay Francis and no longer stayed on the inside to break through, but Terry still didn't bypass Howard in time, Howard rushed down the inside, and Francis directly picked up Howard.
"Boss F., good pass!" Howard comfortably got off the basket and turned to raise his hand to signal to Francis.
At 41:34
, Mike Finley's shot was directly blocked by Mobley, Howard accepted the basketball, and the Magic counterattacked, but this time it didn't work, and Tekoglou, who was hand-to-hand with Dampier, was running behind Dampier slowly, and the other four of the Mavericks were very quick to defend in place.
By the time Howard got the ball, the defender in front of him turned back to Dampier, and Howard held the ball to the basket.
"Whoa, whoa, second center, I'm still going to rush in from here to score!" Howard gasped, his face confident.
Playing fast-paced is still not a small physical drain on a big center like Howard, and Howard's physical reserves are also tested.
"Hmph, then you come!" Dampier was very inward-looking, if Howard used his speed advantage to break through, he was not sure that he could prevent it with his slow steps.
Howard lowered his body and made a gesture to break through.
Dampier subconsciously moved a small step to his right hand.
The corners of Howard's mouth curled.
Kicking the ball hard, dribbling with his left hand and breaking through to Dampier's right, as if he really wanted to repeat the old trick.
Dampier didn't hesitate, and his body immediately shifted to the right, trying to block Howard's baseline breakthrough.
Howard changed direction directly in front of the body, dribbled to his right hand, and the big change of direction became a break from Dampier to the left.
Dampier was stunned, and immediately wanted to turn around to defend Howard, who broke through on the left, but the center of gravity was on the right, and the upper body reacted and turned around to defend, but the lower body and feet were still moving to the right.
The sad Dampier twisted his upper and lower body backwards, and his body slowly fell, and he could only look back and watch Howard finish clasping his hands heavily across Nowitzki.
Yes, Dampier, disgraced!Shaken down!!Shaken
down!!"Howard faced Dampier and had a beautiful change of direction in front of him!Oh my God! He shook Dampier down!Oh! Poor Dampier,
I think this will be an eternal shame in his career!haha!"
"Oh, yes, and Howard dunked Nowitzki with both hands, the referee blew the whistle, Nowitzki fouled, and Howard got a free throw!
Howard landed, looked majestically at the entire arena, and silently slammed his wide chest on the spot.
"Wow, Howard, you're going to crossover!Oh! Unbelievable!What else wouldn't you have!" Francis ran over excitedly and hammered Howard as well.
"Wow ~ Howard, what a job, humiliate this so-called second center for me!" Mobley ran and happily hit his chest.
"Tut-tut, are you really a center, not a defender? oh! That's amazing!" Hill and Howard gave three high-fives.
Nelson, a dog-legged man, was bouncing back and forth directly on the bench on the sidelines, the towel in his hand flying up and down wildly.
Terry and Josh Howard walked over and reached out for Dampier, who was humiliated in front of nearly 20,000 people for the first time in his eight-year career to be shaken down by a center.
His face was ugly, and he gave the floor a fist to vent, and then stood up with the strength of the two of them.
Watching the Magic team celebrate, Dampier gritted his teeth on his face.
Don Nelson took advantage of the free throws to bring on the ineffective Terry and Mike Finley for Harris and Daniels.
Howard scored on a free throw!
44:34!The
two teams scored each other until the 10th minute, when Nowitzki came off the court and Howard was replaced, and the two teams were still 10 points apart, and it remained until the end of the second quarter.
Magic 54:44 Mavericks
Howard in the second quarter, 5-of-5 in the first quarter, 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, and scored 12 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block.
In order to suppress Nowitzki, Howard basically follows Nowitzki in the middle and long distances, and does not guard on the inside, so the defensive data is much less than before.
Played 18 minutes in the half, 8-of-10, 18 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block.
Francis was superb, shooting 6-of-7 in the second quarter, scoring 12 points and finishing with one rebound and four assists.
The Mavericks scored just 18 points in a single quarter, Nowitzki was 0-of-2 in the second quarter, and Howard was locked up on the offensive end.
Mike Finley was 1 of 6, except for the time against Stevenson, who scored a layup through a screen, and was directly defended by Mobley into 0 of 5.
In the third quarter, except for Francis, the Magic's starters still performed steadily, once widening the score difference to 21 points, and Howard went down to rest after half a quarter.
But Francis's sudden power outage, 0-of-5, consecutive shots that didn't go in, and Hill's cold touch of 1-of-4 gave the Mavericks a chance to fight back.
Nowitzki took advantage of Howard's absence and began to play against Tekoglu, who was only 208 tall.
Turkoglu is not very good when defending players with the ball.
Nowitzki hit four goals in a row on the head of Turkoglou, and with the addition of Dampier and Daniels, the score was instantly reduced to less than 10 points.
Howard had to play again in the 10th minute, defending Nowitzki and cooling Nowitzki's hot hand.
and assisted Cato and Garriti, scored three goals in a row, stabilized the score advantage, and launched an attack with the Mavericks.
By the end of the third
quarter, the Magic 83:76
