NBA Tyrant

Chapter 40

After the timeout, since the basketball eventually touched the baseline from Bobcats power forward Eli, the ball went to the Magic, and Howard served to Nelson.

After Nelson dribbled the ball across the halfcourt, he saw that the boss had already stuck in his position, and did not hesitate to pass the ball to the boss immediately.

Howard received the ball, bent down and pushed Blazeck's close body with his buttocks, to observe whether Eli on the other side had any movement to come over and wrap up, seeing that Eli was looking at his side, but there was no sign of movement in his footsteps, Howard probably had a bottom in his heart.

Backed by Blazek again, feeling the defensive strength of Blazek, still soft, Howard pouted in his heart.

Just this strength, it's far worse than Okafor just now, what's the use of really having height, maybe you can shoot a few baskets, you have good projection ability, but when you encounter an interior line with strong strength and likes to find confrontation, you will definitely be taught a bad lesson at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

Just like now, I'm going to show you how sad it would be to have no power inside line in the NBA before 2010.

Howard didn't plan to use a three-stage leaning hit, he didn't need to hit Blazek at all, he just squeezed his back and relied on his weight and strength to squeeze Blazek into the restricted area step by step.

Then, through Blazek, he forcibly jumped up, and held the ball heavily on Brezek's head, Brezek was pressed by Howard and couldn't even interfere with the jump, but his body was like a green bamboo that was bent, and he would fall down at any time.

"Hmm, where are the people defending me?" Howard said, with a puzzled expression, tilting his head from side to side to make a deliberate appearance of looking for something.

"Damn!" Blazek glared at Howard.

"Howard crushed Blazek and came to the restricted area!Oh~ He ignored Blazek, who was taller than him, and forcibly jumped up and dunked with both hands

!" "Alas~ I guessed that it would be like this, although Blazek is 218 cm tall, nearly 4 cm taller than Howard, but his strength is too bad compared to Howard!" Kenny shook his head and sighed for Blazek.

"Hahaha, Howard is interesting, is he looking for a defender? He's right in front of you! It's just that you can't feel it, hahaha

!" "Hey, Kenny, that's normal, with Blazeck's soft appearance, I don't think it's useful if he can defend Howard harder!"

Barkley was full of disdain for Blazeck's soft defense.

Magic 33:20 Bobcats

to the Bobcats attack, this time Blazek did not go to the basket after the cover, but received a pass in the middle range, before Howard's defense was in place, a quick shot, and shot the basketball in his hand.

This shot is quite unexpected, after the average player receives the ball, there will be a very short process of adjusting the shooting posture, but just now, Blazek directly received the ball and shot, and did not even make adjustments.

Howard looked at the basketball arc, predicted the drop, and ran to the left side of the basket, Howard didn't believe that he could score the ball in such a short time, and this kind of ball is usually shot like this in the final 1-2 seconds of the quarter.

As a result, as Howard judged, the basketball touched the basket and bounced to the left, and Howard jumped up to easily collect the rebound.

Howard looked at the frontcourt and saw that the Bobcats were back and his teammates had defenders around him, so he gave up the long pass and gave the basketball to Nelson.

This time the Magic team attacked, the head coach of the Bobcats asked Blazek to go around the front defense, Howard also heard it, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, so he didn't go inside, outside the three-point line, and directly started the human wall.

Nelson took advantage of Howard's cover to get past Bobcats backup guard Eddie House and rush inside, followed by Blazek, and Eli in front of him.

Nelson didn't have a flustered look on his face at all, he still had an unabated momentum, facing Eli, jumping straight up, Eli stood in place and raised his hands high, intending to make an offensive foul, even if he didn't make a successful foul, the raised hands were enough to interfere with Nelson.

Blazek from behind him also pounced from behind, and his long arms completely blocked the space above Nelson's head.

Blazek is confident and even a little excited, as long as Nelson dares to make a layup, he can give Nelson a big hat.

However, Nelson did not make a layup, and under the unexpected gaze of Blazek and Eli, he threw the ball hard behind him, and the basketball flew directly from Blazek's head to the back.

Blazek, who landed on the ground, was suddenly shocked in his heart, and he thought that he had forgotten someone, a murderous inner king.

Blazek turned his head sideways in horror, and the darkness directly overwhelmed him, and there was a thunderous roar in his ears, a powerful impact, accompanied by the sound of a basket being slammed on his head, and he was ridden sideways.

Howard grabbed the basket with both hands, stabilized his body, looked down, and saw that the person who was originally under the crotch had now dodged, so he slowly straightened his arms and body, released the basket, and landed gently.

"Ahh

"It's so explosive! Our tyrant, Howard!" Stevenson ran over and shoved Howard.

"Awesome!" Tekoglu hammered Howard in the chest.

"My king!" said Garriti, making an appearance to his majesty.

"Wow! I don't even know what to say, the Magic and Howard have given us so many wonderful performances tonight! This open catch is definitely going to be one of the top 10 balls tonight! Howard and Nelson have a great deal of cooperation!"

Kenny could only shake his head in his seat.

"Hahaha, yes, yes, Howard's performance is fantastic, well, that Nelson pass is also good!haha!" Barkley smiled happily when he saw Howard score again.

Magic 35:20 Bobcats Bobcats

head coach in order not to let the Magic team completely get up, hurriedly called a timeout, and by the way, let his players, especially Blazek, adjust the mentality of being destroyed by Howard, this is just the beginning of the second quarter, but it can't be broken.

The Bobcats, who came back from the adjustment, did not continue to focus on the interior, although they still relied on blocking and dispensing, but more to create opportunities for the outside, and scoring guard Steve Smith took the lead to break the scoring drought.

The Magic's offensive play has also changed, and Howard has begun to cover more and tandem teammates behind him, only when there is not much time to attack, Howard acts as an endpoint and makes an urgent shot.

Later, Okafor came on the court, Howard played back to the power forward position, and continued to play against Okafor, Okafor couldn't even get a chance to shoot under Howard's defense, and basically had no effect on the offensive end except for covering his teammates.

After 10 minutes of the second quarter, Howard was substituted off the court, at which point the score of the two teams was reached.

The Magic led by a full 22 points at 62:40

, and Howard was 5-of-7 from the field and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, contributing 12 points, eight rebounds, four assists and four blocks.

In halftime statistics, Howard played 18 minutes, 8 of 11, 2 of 2 free throws, 18 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 7 blocks.

With 2 minutes left, led by Francis, the Magic team was careless and was hit by the Bobcats with a small counterattack wave of 9:5.

At halftime, the Magic 67:49 Bobcats, leading the Bobcats by 18 points.

At 38:29 in the second quarter, the statistics of the two teams:

the Magic team was 12 of 25, shooting 48%, 3 of 9 three-pointers, 11 of 14 free throws, and scored 38 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks.

Howard was very strong, and with Nelson and Turkoglou off the bench, he scored 8 points and 5 points and 1 rebound, respectively, and the three were the main contributors to the gap in the second quarter.

The Bobcats shot 12-of-27, shooting 44.4%, 3-of-3 from three-point range, 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, and scored 29 points, 15 rebounds, 10 assists, 1 steal and 4 blocks.

As a result, he went 0 of 2 and didn't score a point, and Howard kept him a clean sheet.

In the half, Okafor made 1 of 7 shots and finished with 3 points, 7 rebounds and 1 block.

It was 7 points away from the 10 points that Barkley and Kenny bet on, and obviously, Kenny lost again!

The Bobcats also took advantage of Howard's 2 minutes of the break, seized the opportunity, scored consecutive points, and recovered 4 points, but still trailed by 18 points.

"At halftime, the two teams were tied at 67-49, and the Magic had an absolute 18-point lead! Barkley, do you think the Bobcats still have a chance to win, or what should be done to salvage some of the slump?"

Kenny, although he lost his half-time bet on Okafor's score, still dutifully and calmly explained.

In the first quarter, when Howard came off the break, the Bobcats recovered a little bit, and in the second quarter, Howard came off the court, and the Bobcats recovered four points again.

"So, when Howard isn't on the floor and the lineup led by Francis is playing, the interior is actually weak, and Brazzek of the Bobcats can easily score on the Magic's interior head.

"My suggestion is that the Bobcats take advantage of the Magic's absence of Howard and play to the strengths of Blazek and Okafor to close the score. Barkley

is once known as the "Fliggy" interior power forward, and he can see the comparison between the two sides very clearly.

"Well, it's true, without Howard's interior dominance, the Bobcats do have an advantage over the Magic's interior.

Kenny took the stats and agreed with Barkley's words.

"Oh, Kenny, your question made me just pay attention, the first two games when the Magic team was without Howard, what do you guess I found?"

Barkley exclaimed.

"Oh, what did you find?" replied Kenny Smith.

"Hmm, wait, we almost forgot something!" Barkley squinted at Kenny Smith.

"What?" Kenny looked confused.

"Okafor only scored 3 points at halftime~" Barkley curled the corners of his mouth.

"Oh~Shet!I see, I'll wear earrings!" Kenny sighed frustratedly.

"Tell me, what did you find!" Kenny glared at Barkley through gritted teeth.
