NBA Tyrant

"Wow! I really didn't expect that in less than 3 minutes, under Howard's lead charge and tandem, the Magic team scored 9 points in a row and hit a 9:2 shock wave for the Lakers!".

Commentator A sat comfortably in his position, and when he saw that the Magic team began to fight back, he leaned on the stool, and his tone became much more relaxed.

"It's really unthinkable, at the beginning, I was worried that our Magic team would be burned by the Lakers' hot hand in the second quarter, but now it seems that my worries are obviously superfluous!

"Howard has a back dunk, a barely smashed dunk, a three-point assist, a cover backhand hand assist, tsk! In less than 3 minutes, 4 points and 2 assists will be in hand!"

Commentator A looked at the statistics and began to admire again.

"It has to be said that the Magic team made Howard the offensive and defensive core of the second quarter, which is really wise! Howard is a player with excellent team leadership ability, and he always takes the lead on both offensive and defensive ends, which greatly drives the enthusiasm of his teammates! He is really a natural leader!"

Commentator B also very much approves of his own top performance.

Kobe Bryant sat quietly on the bench with a calm face, listening to Tom Jajovic's tactical arrangement.

"Listen, Odom, you can go up later, guard the inside line with Cook, don't be easily forced by Howard, the others keep an eye on the defenders at all times, cut off Howard's connection with the outside line for me!" The defensive position is ...... like this"

Tom Jakovich paused for a moment and let the players digest the defensive arrangement.

"Offensively, we also play fast, smart, accurate......! I believe that your first quarter is still there, give me a quick play, wear Howard, as long as Howard has a physical problem, then the Magic team is not to worry! Guys, let's kill the game at half time!"

Tang Shuai finished speaking, and the players exchanged fists, hoping to mobilize the players' state.

Soon, the timeout came back, and the Lakers replaced Brian Grant and Terry Brown with Odom and Atkins.

Odom has the pace, the playmaking, the shooting, and the focus in the game, and he will be much better than Bryan Grant on both offensive and defensive ends.

However, this lineup does not have a meat shield blue-collar team, and there is not even a decent center.

Howard was stunned when he saw the Lakers' lineup.

Isn't this lineup of the Lakers meant to make himself random in the Lakers' interior line? Tsk! That's so polite! Lakers

Atkins attacked with the ball, organized the offense on the outside, and made a blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation with Odom, and faced Howard in a misplaced position.

I was thinking of using the speed to get past Howard and make a layup to break the scoring drought for the Lakers.

But apparently Atkins was thinking too much, and Howard followed him, waiting for Atkins to reach for a layup, and directly and mercilessly fanned off, touching the rebound and bouncing into Odom's hands.

It was Nelson who defended Odom, and his height really couldn't interfere with Odom, so Odom raised his hand to shoot.

Unfortunately, the ball smashed into the neck of the basket and Howard collected the rebound.

But this time, the Lakers' five-man defense was very fast and no longer gave the Magic a chance to counterattack.

This made the four members of the Magic team, who rushed through the half court one step earlier, fall into a four-on-five situation.

In particular, Nelson, who rushed to the three-point line with the ball, has been unable to find an open teammate, and is now caught in place by Atkins and Odom.

"Give it to me!"

Nelson jumped to avoid Odom's interception and passed the ball to Howard.

Because Nelson's pass was so high, Howard had to adjust his footwork and jump to catch it.

This gave Odom plenty of time to get back to defend Howard head-on.

But Howard ignored Odom at all, and after landing in one step inside the free throw line, he slapped the ball, stuck it on Odom, and turned 360 degrees and swept straight past Odom.

Kicking his feet up hard and leaning sideways, it was a two-handed dunk, and with a clang, the huge force pressed the basket down, and Howard seemed to remove the basket from the rebound.

37:44, 7 points difference.

Howard slapped the rebound, got off the basket, ran straight to the center circle, spread his arms, and then put one hand to his ear and the other to the fans in the arena in a gesture of listening.

"Wow, oh

~" "His Royal Highness

!" "Howard!" Tyrant

!" The fans at the scene naturally knew what Howard meant, and immediately sent their own shouts frantically, and the stadium was instantly deafening and resounded throughout the arena!

"My, I'm sorry, I didn't take precautions!" Odom took the responsibility for this loss of points to Kobe.

"There's no way about this ball, I can't blame you, it's our turn to attack, let's go and get in place!" Although Kobe Bryant was angry and was close to the score by the Magic team, he was not carried away by anger and blamed his teammates at will.

In this attack of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant used Odom's cover, after getting rid of Stevenson, stuck to Howard, and directly when Howard didn't react, suddenly, he pulled up and shot in the middle distance.

The ball went in

at 37:46 and returned to a 9-point deficit.

Bryant looked at Howard as he stepped back, his right index finger on his waist and smugly dotted on his waist.

Howard didn't bother to pay attention and returned to the baseline to serve to Nelson.

The Magic attacked, Howard landed inside, received a pass from Nelson, grabbed the ball with one hand, and faced Odom sideways, observing the position of everyone on the Lakers.

"Hey, Mr. Champion! If you have a kind of shot, I'll let you shoot! But I think you're going to shoot without scoring a single goal!" Believe it or not?"

Odom was going to use verbal interference to stimulate Howard, hoping that Howard would really give up the inside and shoot outside.

In this way, Odom feels that he can not let himself consume too much in order to withstand Howard, a power power center, and affect the offensive play.

"You want to be a fool, I won't stop you, but don't take me!" Howard was dismissive of Odom's trash talk.

How stupid am I to be that after listening to your words, I stupidly floated outside to shoot?"

"You just want to be a fool, stupid big guy!" Although Howard is physically 2 laps stronger than himself, Odom is not intimidating Howard at all.

"Hehe! Very good!" After

observing for a while, Howard already had a rough idea of the Lakers' defensive arrangement, and he was just thinking about a simple back-to-back turn hook to save physical strength, but now, Howard has changed his mind.

The three-stage back hit Odom, and his back hit Odom's chest hard, but in the second stage, Odom had been knocked back several steps by Howard, touching his chest uncomfortably, and the two were completely one and the same in terms of strength and weight.

Howard easily jumped on the spot under the basket and made a simple dunk.

"Hmph, that's it, you deserve to call me, huh!"

Howard gave Odom a disdainful look and turned away.

"Odom, are you alright?" Cook held Odom's back, grabbed Odom's retreating body, and looked at Odom with concern.

"What's the use of asking this now, why didn't you just wrap it up!" Odom glared at Cook in disgust and annoyance.

"It's... I wanted to come over, but Howard flew you up at once, and I didn't have time to wrap the clip!" Cook was also aggrieved, and just wanted to run over to wrap the clip as the coach said, but he saw Odom retreat.

At 39:46, there was still a 7-point difference.

"Alas~ I can't bear to look at it directly! Odom is really embarrassed for Howard!" Narrator A sighed for Odom.

"Haha, yes, a power forward to defend a strong center that is difficult for even a standard center to defend, it's... Howard is really bullying! hey!" Narrator B also said in a mocking tone, pretending to blame Howard.

Atkins dribbled the ball, and seeing that Kobe Bryant didn't mean to ask for the ball, he signaled his teammates to run according to the tactics, and Caron Butler ran out of the open space outside the three-point line, and Garrity was blocked by Cook and didn't follow up in time.

Atkins immediately fed the ball, but unfortunately, Caron Butler did not continue the first quarter, hitting a three-point iron, and Howard collected the rebound.

The Magic team knows that there is no way to counterattack and get a vacant opportunity, because the Lakers lineup is not afraid of fast-paced play at all, so the purpose of the Magic team's fast attack this time is just to disrupt the Lakers' defensive position.

When Howard stepped inside to face Odom, Cook dropped Turkoglou and ran straight over to wrap it up, and Kalombbutler immediately moved between Turkoglou and Garriti to block Howard's pass.

There was no trace of panic on Howard's face, and for Howard, Odom and Cook couldn't put much pressure on themselves defensively.

Noticing that Garrity borrowed Stevenson and Nelson from the 45-degree three-point line on the other side, running around the three-point line to outside the 45-degree three-point line on his side.

Howard held the basketball, ignoring the two who were holding him, and easily sent the ball to Garrity, who was in the open space.

Garriti received the ball and raised his hand to shoot a three-point shot.

42:46, only 4 points apart.

"You can't defend like this!Odom, you go around the front, don't give Howard a chance to catch the ball inside!Everyone else guards the opposing player!FK!"

Kobe Bryant watched the score get closer and closer, angry and anxious in his heart, and opened his mouth to directly change Tang Shuai's defensive arrangement.

"Also, Odom, come out to cover, fish out Howard, and give me a break from the inside line if the others form a misalignment, without Howard, the Magic's interior defense is useless! "Got it!"

"Got it!" X4

changed the offensive and defensive style of play of the Lakers, and the effect was immediate, in the offense, Odom covered the misplaced and hit Nelson, squeezed into the interior line hard, and attracted Turkoglu to help defend.

Passing the ball to Cook, Cook received the ball and wanted to score on the board, but was fouled early by Turkoglu and sent to the free throw line.

After that, the scores of the two teams improved each other, and it was the end of the first half.

Magic 50:53 Lakers

Magic called a timeout, replaced Francis, Hill, Mobley, replaced Nelson, Turkoglou, Stevenson.

The Lakers replaced Kobe Bryant and Cook and brought on Luke Walton and Meme.

The Lakers' lineup made Howard's eyes light up again, and he even sent the slow-paced Mime to the court.

When the Lakers couldn't attack, Howard, who was caught at a distance, immediately picked up speed and overtook Meme, who was running back, in the middle circle.

The Magic team is also moving at full speed!

Francis carried Atkins with the ball and looked at Howard, who was rushing fast.

When Howard ran inside the three-point line, Francis swung the ball hard with his big swing arm, and the basketball flew over the head of the embarrassed Meme, and Howard jumped up to catch it.

Facing the basket without people, Howard easily came to score with an unpretentious one-handed slam dunk.

"Boss F., that's a great pass!haha, it's so easy!" Howard returned, high-fived Francis, in celebration.

"You ran fast enough, seized the opportunity to counterattack!Haha, you are such a big center, you can run as fast as a defender, tsk!

Then in the 10th minute of the second quarter, the scores of the two teams were very anxious.

Magic 57:58 Lakers

Magic offensive round.

"Boss Fur, give me this ball directly! I want to overtake the score!" Howard grabbed the rebound, gave Francis the ball, and jogged forward together.

"No problem! you go to the card position to catch the ball!" Francis

, without hesitation, agreed.

The absolute core at this time is to step up and take the lead for the team.

As soon as Howard entered the three-point line, he fought hand-to-hand with Mime, pushing Mime back face-to-face.

Although the weight difference between the two is not much, their strength level is not the same level.

When he landed in the low post, Howard turned and jammed Mime and reached for the ball.

Francis saw the moment and hit the ground and passed to Howard.

To make sure nothing went wrong, Howard went straight to the three-stage hit, knocked Mime back, and turned left to dribble to the basket.

Jump with both feet, step hard, lift the basketball, jump high into the air, and press down on the basket.

Odom saw that Mime was struggling to stand up to Howard on the inside, and knew that he would definitely not be able to prevent it, so he chose to let go of Garrity and ran over to flank Howard.

Seeing that Howard didn't notice himself, Odom was overjoyed.

"Don't think about dunking, watch me block you!" When

Howard jumped, Odom immediately jumped up and reached out to block Howard.

"I'm going to defend it!" After

Mime was knocked back, he gritted his teeth to stop the retreat, saw that Howard was about to dunk, and regardless of whether his weak bounce did not work for blocking Howard, the belief in defense in his heart made him insist on jumping defense.

In the air, the collision and confrontation of the three inner lines made the bodies of the three people stop in the air, and the original upward trend also stopped.

Odom and Mime crossed their hands and stood in front of Howard.

The two were secretly proud in their hearts, blocking so tightly, confident that Howard would not be able to complete the dunk again.

But Howard's core strength is strong, and his waist and abdomen are strong, and he is stuck in the air for a few more moments.

"Hah!"

When the two began to fall, Howard yelled and dunked down with both hands!

"Bang dang!"

dunk successfully, Howard grabbed the power of the basket and squeezed the two out of the air domineeringly.

59:58

The Magic team completed a big comeback, leading by 1 point.

"Kobe! you're lost!" Howard

turned away from the basket and came to the Lakers bench, pointing at Kobe Bryant on the bench.

In the face of Howard's provocation in front of the fans, the corners of Kobe's eyes jumped, and his eyes were extremely cold and sharp!
