NBA Tyrant

Chapter 158

After throwing it, Howard, who was not very sure, couldn't stop his body from grabbing the rebound at the first time because of the inertia of leaning back when he landed, and could only watch the basketball go to the basket.

Sure

enough, the basketball bounced off the neck of the basket.

At this time, Howard had already lost his inertia, saw that he was shooting iron, and immediately stepped forward to grab the offensive rebound.

But once again, he was blocked by a body as hard as a wall, and no matter how hard Howard tried, he couldn't shake it in the slightest.

However, luckily, the basketball that bounced back happened to be more on the head of the two to Howard's side.

Howard was secretly happy, his

eyes were fixed on the basketball.

When the basketball began to slide, Howard immediately jumped, thinking that he had the advantage of his height and fast arm span and the basketball bias in his favor, and he could successfully win offensive rebounds.

But

at the moment when he was about to catch the basketball, Howard unexpectedly saw a palm directly slap the basketball away, causing the basketball to bounce into the air again.

[Damn!]

Looking at the basketball that was out of his palm, Howard's eyes flashed with anger.

For the first time, Howard didn't outdo the other in the scramble for rebounds under favorable circumstances.

Looking at the direction of the basketball, Howard raised his foot and rushed forward, but a black shadow squeezed the position of the basketball landing point faster, blocking Howard.

Howard gritted his teeth and wrestled directly with the other party, and his four extremely thick arms were immediately entangled.

When the basketball fell again, Howard and Big Ben secretly pushed each other hard with both hands at the same time, trying to push each other away and take advantage of the position alone.

But the result was that neither of them pushed the other person away, but only made the other's body lean back a little, but if you look closely, Howard's strength is slightly greater than that of Big Ben.

The angle of the body's backward tilt is greater than that of Howard.

And with the 0.0 seconds of leaning back first, Howard bent his knees and jumped first, grabbing the basketball with one hand.

"Hmm...!" a

muffled grunt sounded in his ears, and Howard saw that the basketball that was about to be caught by himself again was slapped away.

Howard was completely furious

, his eyes were fixed on the direction of the basketball, and after landing, Howard and Big Ben rubbed each other strongly on their bodies and arms and rushed towards the basketball.

When the two stood at the basketball landing point for the third time, it was still difficult to distinguish between them, and this time the two leaned sideways against each other.

Howard has height, and his arms are down to block Big Ben with all his might, and Big Ben is up with his arms and directly under Howard's armpits, trying to push Howard away.

"Ho-ahh

Turning his head and coldly looking down at Big Ben beside him,

the two of them had already chased the basketball all the way from the restricted area to the three-point line.

Seeing that Big Ben retreated to the three-point line with an indifferent look, Howard handed the basketball to Francis, who ran over, and made a block for Francis by the way.

After firmly blocking Billups, Howard did not go down, but took a step forward and then stopped, and when Francis attracted Big Ben's defense, Howard made a direct catch-and-catch action.

Sure enough, Francis immediately passed back after attracting two defenders.

Howard shot directly open in the middle range.

Goal

scoring!

"Whew... Scold... Call... Unexpectedly

, in the first round, he spent a lot of physical energy wrestling with Big Ben for an offensive rebound, and Howard turned around and ran to his own half with a grim expression.

[What's more, if this big Ben is 10 centimeters taller, his physical fitness is estimated to be a demon inside line that is even more terrifying than himself!

His bullet speed is faster than mine, and he must be careful and vigilant in backcourt rebounding, but fortunately, he is just a blue-collar worker, and it is very easy to defend. The

Pistons attacked, Billups called tactics from beyond the three-point line, and Hamilton on one side began to run without the ball.

First he pretended to cut inside and then pulled back, reaching out to catch the ball to attract Battier to the front and back, and then immediately cut inside and ran out with Rashid's cover.

After receiving a pass from Billups from long range, Hamilton didn't hesitate to take a shot.

"Whew!"

was blocked by Rashid and delayed for a while, and Battier, who only had time to jump, did not give Hamilton any interference at all.

"Mine!" Battier

reproachfully raised his hand, signaling that he hadn't defended well.

"It's okay, keep it up!" Serving

to Francis, Howard slapped Battier's ass unhappily.

The second offense was still a simple blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation, and Howard, who hit again, easily met with Francis to celebrate.

Howard didn't expect to be able to score easily this time, Big Ben seems to have some kind of obsession with defending the inside, and when he saw Francis burst inside, he completely left himself alone and concentrated on defending Francis, who broke into the inside.

Larry Brown, who was on the sidelines, blackened his face and shouted directly into the court, signaling Big Ben not to shrink inside and bring it up.

It was the Pistons' turn to attack, and this time Coach Jeff on the sidelines signaled to play infinite defense changes in the face of Hamilton's running position, increase physical confrontation, and don't let Hamilton easily run and catch the ball.

Changing the defensive method, the effect is still obvious, no matter how Hamilton runs and how he uses cover, there are always people by his side, so that Hamilton can't get a good shot.

There was no way to play the first tactic, and Billups reacted quickly, directly calling for cover, and hit the mid-range shot before Tekoglu came up.

Seeing that the Magic team was on the confrontation, the Pistons also showed their muscles when they were defending, especially when Howard was holding the ball, Big Ben and Rashid were very resolute in packing.

And it is a bag full of muscular hand-to-hand combat, and his hands are greeting Howard in front of him and the basketball in his hand, so that Howard can't be distracted from his teammates who are empty.

Prince, on the other side, quickly stood between the two of the Magic team, so that even if Howard found a gap and wanted to pass the ball, Prince could use his long hand to intercept the pass at the first time.

The two sides were blocked, and it was difficult to fight hard with the two, Howard gritted his teeth to push away the slightly weaker Rasheed Wallace, and forced a step out of the bag slightly.

Just as he was looking for an open teammate, he saw Prince in the passing lane, and Howard instantly extinguished the idea of passing.

However, seeing Battier cut inside outside the 45-degree three-point line, Turkoglu ran around the three-point line to Battier's 45-degree position, and Howard was reassured.

This is a tactic that the Magic have practiced countless times, and once Howard is caught in the bag and someone on the opposing side intercepts the passing route, then the person in the 45-degree position must cut inside and attract the defense of the opponent who wants to intercept the pass.

And the man in the bottom corner, mentioned above the 45-degree angle three-point line, waiting to receive the ball.

Without time to think about it, Big Ben and Roaring Celestial formed a trap again, and Howard struggled to pass the ball to Battier, who cut inside, and Prince hurriedly followed.

Successfully attracting Prince's defense, Battier didn't look at anyone at all and flicked the ball straight to a 45-degree angle.

Turkoglou, who received the ball, was unguarded and threw the ball before Billups could rush over.

When ~

three points hit the iron!The

basket instantly launched a fierce hand-to-hand battle in the card position!

Howard fought two Pistons villains by himself, pressing Ben's shoulder with one hand, and holding his arm by Roaring Tianzun with the other, and at the moment of jumping, he was dragged by Roaring Tianzun and couldn't jump up at all.

I could only watch Big Ben collect the rebound.

After that, both teams used high-intensity confrontation on both offensive and defensive ends, and in the first quarter, both teams did not have a high shooting percentage and low scores, except for Howard, who scored 11 points and scored a double-double, no one from the two teams broke 10.

Magic 21: 19 pistons.

Howard sat on the bench and gasped, and in the first quarter, because Francis was ravaged by Billups, the team fell behind in the blink of an eye and was pulled away, and Johnny was forced to temporarily change the lineup.

Replaced Francis early off the bench to lead the second lineup in the second quarter, while Howard only took a two-minute break in the middle before switching to the third lineup to finish the first quarter.

The hand-to-hand combat with Big Ben and Rasheed Wallace throughout the whole process made Howard very physically exhausted, which also caused the Magic team to score a rare first quarter with just over 20 points.

Howard, with his head down, adjusted his breathing and wiped his sweat with a towel.

[I'm consumed by constant hand-to-hand combat, and if it goes on like this, I won't be able to save enough energy, and someone must stand up to stabilize the score when I'm not there.

Otherwise, if I am alone, I have been supporting the scoring on the court, and I will inevitably fall into the physical trap set by the

Pistons
