NBA Tyrant

Chapter 57

Francis made an OK gesture, crossed the halfway to the three-point line, and hoisted the ball to Howard, who was stuck in position.

Howard picked up the ball and turned his head to look at Meme, a 213-centimeter 120-kilogram white center.

Offensively, he has some low-post scoring ability and mid-range shooting, while his defense is very average.

A mediocre interior center with average strength, average footwork, and average speed.

"I'm sorry! I'm going to eat you and dunk you so I can vent my anger! If you want to blame the boss of your team, I've provoked me!" Howard

turned to the basket, and after a simple tentative step and a shooting feint, he broke through Mime's left hand and led the slow-moving Meme to follow.

When he went to the restricted area in front of the basket, he immediately pulled back the basketball, turned around 360 degrees with his body against Meme, came to the basket, completely ignored the defense of Mime on the side, jumped directly, squeezed Mime, and raised the basketball with both hands.

"Oh!"

Howard yelled, slamming the basketball against the basket.

"Defensive

foul, goal valid, free throw!"

Mime frustratedly raised his right hand and signaled that he had committed a foul.

Howard's breakthrough and turning and jumping dunk, Mime didn't have time to react at all, but instinctively wanted to follow Howard's body and try his best to defend.

In the end, seeing Howard jump, Meme only symbolically jumped to defend, which could interfere a little bit, but as a result, by coincidence, the outstretched hand slapped Howard's right hand.

"and one!"

Howard, who landed on the ground, gritted his teeth excitedly and looked at

Kobe! Kobe! See, this is the end of me

! The Lakers are really easy to play on the inside! They don't need to consume much, they can easily dunk and win, and it seems that they can hit more baskets in the first quarter.

Bryant ignored Howard's renewed provocation and walked to the three-point line, silently waiting for the free throw to end.

Howard scored a free throw, and the score of the two teams was 5-3.

The Lakers attacked, Bryant held the ball outside the three-point line, and in the face of Mobley's defense, he did not choose an individual single, but observed the movement of his teammates at the top of the arc.

Kalombbutler slipped to the baseline, borrowed Mime's cover, threw Hill off, ran to the bottom corner of the three-point line on the other side, no one defended, and there was a big vacancy.

Bryant immediately threw the ball over.

Caron Butler received the ball and adjusted

, and shot!Boom!Three-point shot!5:6

"The game is five people, and it can't be won by individual scoring!Little Tyrant!"

When Howard ran to the Lakers' half-court three-point

line and mismatched Kobe, Kobe suddenly opened his mouth to tease Howard.

"Cut, of course I know, my average assists per game is estimated to be higher than yours! I don't need you to remind me!" Howard

didn't accept Kobe's education, and immediately retorted.

With the one-star four-shot system, he has a lot of assists in the first four games, and he is not a very unique person who plays ball, with the advantage of height, he has an excellent passing vision on the court.

As long as there is a vacant space for his teammates, he can basically pass the ball in place at the first time.

The Magic team's offense, Howard came out to cover Francis, and Francis directly broke through the clumsy Mime, left Mime behind, and scored an easy layup.

At 7:6

, after the core of the two teams scored in the opening game, the two sides began to enter the stage of alternating scoring rises.

However, what Howard didn't expect was that when the score came to 12:11, the Lakers' Kobe Bryant and Atkins began to score three three-pointers in a row, instantly rewriting the score to 12:20.

Then, with Turkoglou's mistake, Odom completed a steal and assisted Atkins to score a layup, while Francis hit two mid-range jumpers after covering to give the Lakers a chance to counterattack, and Kobe Bryant hit the Magic basket twice in a row, causing Turkoglu and Mobley to foul.

The difference broke through double digits at

14:26 The Lakers

in order to stabilize the situation and keep the point gap from being widened, Howard could only shoot himself again, scoring easily on Mime's head twice, but did not close the score.

The Lakers' starters tonight seemed to be like a god, and their shooting percentage was surprisingly high, and by the 8th minute, they only missed 4 shots and made 3 of 6 three-pointers, which left the Magic without even a chance to fight back.

Magic 18:30 The Lakers

arrived at Howard's normal end time, and Howard had no choice but to return to the bench.

Later, Francis led the team, and after opening up and chatting with Howard in front of many teammates in the locker room, Francis seemed to really let go of his baggage, and led the team to start tandem with his teammates, but unfortunately, his teammates just didn't go in.

The helpless Francis could only shoot inside and outside, sometimes carrying a dynamite bag to impact the Lakers' defense-like interior, and sometimes shooting with a cover, but fortunately, Francis felt warm and chased the score with difficulty.

Hill also showed the style of Jordan's successor in the back, scoring 4 points in a row from mid-range, but everyone suddenly lost power in the last 1 minute of the first quarter and did not score a point.

The Lakers are still brave, how to shoot in the first quarter tonight.

Magic 26:42 Lakers

Finally, the first quarter ended, and the Magic trailed the Lakers by 16 points.

Howard was 4-of-4 from the field and 1-of-1 from the free-throw line for nine points, six rebounds and one assist.

When Howard grabbed 2 offensive rebounds and was caught under the basket, he didn't force a shot, but passed it out to a few open balls on the outside, but he didn't want to not only feed the feel of a few people on the outside, but also let the Lakers pull the score away.

The teammates were stunned that they didn't score a goal, and Howard really knew what it meant to be a cheating teammate.

Bryant was 3-of-6, 5-of-5 from the free-throw line and 1-of-1 from three-point range to finish with 12 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.

Howard looked at Kobe's stats in turn, how to shoot and how to have the Lakers, so that Kobe Bryant easily brushed 4 assists from his teammates.

"Alas, I never imagined that the Magic would trail by 16 points in the first quarter! This is the first time I've seen the Magic trail by more than 15 points in the first quarter." Narrator A shook his head and sighed.

"This can't be helped, we have all seen it, the Magic team has not had a lot of vacant opportunities, especially when Howard got the offensive rebound and was trapped, he passed out good balls, but a few people on the outside felt cold, and they just couldn't shoot

!" "Moreover, the Lakers' hand in the first quarter was too hot, and they only lost 6 goals in the first quarter, and the score difference naturally opened up when they were in and out on both sides!"

"I hope Howard will lead the team in the second quarter, and a few substitutes can play well and feel better, otherwise, if it is played at halftime, it will be too embarrassing at home! "Come

on!" "I think the Magic team will bounce back under the leadership of Howard, Magic, come on! Howard, come on!" The

two commentators cheered together for their home team.

"In the second quarter, Nelson, Stevenson, Turkogru, Garrity, the four of you, after relying

on Howard to cover on the offensive end, resolutely shot," "Howard, you go to the top of the arc, help cover and go down quickly, grab the offensive rebound, if the outside feels bad, feeding the ball can't feed the hand, Howard, you will kill on the inside."

"You four remember, even if you shoot resolutely, Howard will grab the rebound!" And when Howard is caught on the inside, after the pass comes out......"

At the beginning of the second quarter of the game

, the Lakers attacked first, Kobe Bryant changed direction by rhythm, passed the average defensive Stevenson, accelerated into the interior, and Howard hurriedly stepped forward to make up for the defense.

"Kobe Bryant, don't want to score inside!" Howard

left his defender, Lakers power forward Brian Grant, a 206-year-old short and stout forward who temporarily acted as a center.

Howard opened his hands, on the one hand, not giving Kobe Bryant room to pass, and on the other hand, bent his knees ready to raise his hands and jump to block Kobe's shot.

In the face of Howard, Kobe Bryant did not choose to be strong in front of the hard steel, but jumped into the air lightly, and once again used the air lever to avoid Howard's block, and went up to the blue.

But Howard's bounce and stay in the air aren't bad either, and he also has big long arms.

"Don't think!"

Seeing that Kobe Bryant was about to play the play of the air lever again, Howard forcibly turned around in the air and reached out to block it again.

"No way! How can a center do it!" Kobe

Bryant looked at the palm that reached his face, very surprised, obviously Howard had already passed in the air.

Because Kobe's vision was seriously blocked, although it would not be blocked, it still affected Kobe's shots.

The basketball bounced off the hoop, and Howard immediately took off twice to collect the rebound, threw it to Nelson, and sprinted quickly.

The familiar Magic team counterattack is coming

! Except for Howard, the other four have already rushed to the halfcourt.

The Magic were still moving at full speed, with Nelson sprinting and watching, Turkoglu being followed by Kaloon Butler, and Garrity being followed by Cook.

On the other side, because Kobe Bryant was under the basket when he attacked, Stevenson, who was now tied fast, had no one to defend when he rushed to the three-point line, and Nelson immediately passed the ball to Stevenson.

Stevenson received the ball to the restricted area, attracting Lakers backup point guard Terry Brown to let go of Nelson, chasing after him and running over to defend, Stevenson did not come hard, led Terry Brown to jump, and then passed back to Nelson, who was empty in front of Nelson.

But instead of making a move, Nelson slammed the ball hard into the floor next to him, dodged it far away, and then turned his back to the basket and spread his hands towards the home fans, looking up with a divine expression.

At this time, a tall figure jumped into the air, intercepted the basketball that rebounded into the air, turned 180 degrees, held the ball in his abdomen with both hands, and buckled heavily at the last moment of staying in the air.

"I knew! I knew! As long as the second quarter is led by Howard, the Magic will definitely play a wonderful goal!" Commentator A stood up excitedly.

"Oh! Nelson and Howard's cooperation is so tacit, look, Nelson is celebrating with his back to the basket and opening his hands, as if he has long been sure that Howard can tacitly dunk the ball!" Commentator B was a little surprised by Nelson's movements.

Howard, who was hanging the basket with his back, grabbed the basket with one hand, waited for Kobe to come to him, landed lightly, and looked down at Kobe.

"Kobe, the game isn't over yet!".
