NBA Tyrant

Chapter 83

At the Rockets' post-game press conference, the head coach comforted and persuaded Da Yao all the way before he came, asking Da Yao not to talk about the Rockets' internal affairs in front of the media.

For the sake of the head coach's face, although Da Yao agreed, in the face of the media reporters present, Da Yao had a cold expression on his black face throughout the whole process.

For the media to inquire about Da Yao.

"Why didn't you come to execute the offense in the end, but Maddie, who became completely inactive in the fourth quarter, deliberately avoided the responsibility for losing?"

"No, of course not, this is my arrangement, I let Maddie perform the last ball, I guess the head coach of the Eagles will focus on our big Yao

, plus I have confidence in Maddie, even if he didn't score a goal before, I still trust him, but in the end we were unlucky, Maddie's ball bounced out, so the responsibility for the loss is mine.

Little Van Gundy took the initiative to take the microphone and took the responsibility on himself.

"Oh, is that really the case? Da Yao seems to be angry?"

the reporter was obviously stirring up trouble.

"No, I'm just unhappy because of the loss, Maddie's ability, as we all know, there is nothing wrong with the head coach's arrangement,

it's just like the head coach said, we are really unlucky, and when we decide the loser, we always drop the chain!"

People who don't know the situation don't know, but as a head coach who is in the know, Little Van Gundy next to him understands very well that Da Yao is talking about who dropped the chain.

Maddie, who was sitting next to her, could naturally hear that Da Yao was talking about herself, but she didn't take it to heart at all, and pouted disdainfully in her heart.

On Nov. 17, the Magic prepare to host the Jazz.

The game against the Digital Guys really taught Johnny a hard lesson, letting Johnny know that when Howard is not on the court

, there is not enough tough defense, and when the team feels cold, it can really be miserable.

So Johnny is also reflecting on how to improve the team's defensive ability.

Thinking about it these days, it is obviously impossible to develop the players in the team in the short term, and it may not be easy to trade the interior with good defensive ability.

This kind of interior player is an absolute treasure in every team, and if there is not enough or more than the value of the player to exchange, it is impossible for other teams to let go.

While Johnny is struggling to strengthen his squad, as a head coach, it's important to plan for every upcoming game.

After learning about the Jazz's season of the game, Johnny had a new idea.

And the generals of the Magic team, who have rested for nearly three days, have already recuperated and are ready to do a big job.

However, head coach Johnny no longer played with his usual tactics this game.

Abandoning the one-star system and switching to a two-tower tactic is to reduce Howard's consumption on the one hand, and to give Casu more time to play on the court on the other hand.

The head coach intends to let Casu play well, after all, as a bargaining chip, Battier, who wants to trade for the Grizzlies, naturally has to show Casu's enough value.

In this game, Howard was temporarily transferred to the power forward position, and Cassu played as the starting center, and the others remained the same.

The Jazz's pick-and-roll tactics were once the best, and Utah duo Stockton and Malone reached the Finals twice with this tactic, but unfortunately, they were defeated by the invincible Jordan both times.

Becoming the tragic background of Jordan's ascension to the throne, these two are the real uncrowned kings of Jordan's era.

Now that the Utah Twins have long been disbanded, the Jazz should have entered a rebuilding period, but the Jazz traded Boozer from the Cavaliers and unexpectedly tapped Boozer's potential.

The Jazz have a proud record of 6 wins and 1 loss, leading the Western Conference teams.

So, in this game, Howard's main task is not to score, but to limit or even lock Boozer on the defensive end.

Howard has no opinion on the head coach's arrangement, and it is true that Boozer is a great threat on the offensive end and needs someone to defend.

And if the Magic team wants to say who has good defensive ability, it is naturally only Howard himself.

In the opening game, after Howard was in position, he held the ball with his back and prepared to single Boozer.

Seeing that Boozer chose to defend closely, he exerted his strength from time to time, and it was very uncomfortable to stand against his own lower plate.

Howard opted for brute force to get away with Boozer so he could free his feet and move to close range to score.

However, what Howard didn't expect was that Boozer, who was 206 tall, didn't look tall, but he was really strong and powerful, and he didn't hit Boozer at all with eighty percent of his strength.

Howard frowned slightly.

It seems that in the face of the Rockets in the future, the playoffs can press the Rockets to connect with Boozer, who can only play one round, and his ability is really not to be underestimated, and Boozer can be regarded as a rare high-quality second-round show star.

In this game, I didn't want to consume too much physical energy, so I still used technique and projection to attack

!"That's it? It seems that the godlike tyrant who has been rumored by the media is not very good! I can't even resist it! It's so soft! It's really Bai Chang's height and size!"

Resisting Howard's leaning and beating, Boozer felt that he probably knew Howard's strength level, and secretly judged that he should still be below himself.

It seems that this kid has a false reputation, and he has an advantage over himself in height.

Originally, before the game, I watched too many pictures of Howard brutally ravaging the inside line, and Boozer, who was a little cowardly, suddenly felt that he could do it again.

"Oh, soft, isn't it, heh, then I'll let you really see the tough!"

Howard's eyes turned cold, and he changed his mind, completely giving up the idea of choosing to project before.

Another thing that doesn't know whether to live or die, since you want to provoke me, then I will fulfill you, and by the way, I will teach you a good lesson for Da Yao.

Howard directly leaned on the three-stage strike, and hit Boozer's chest with his back in quick succession, and the force was stacked layer by layer.

Boozer, who had already developed a contemptuous mentality, changed his face when Howard came up for the second time, and he involuntarily took a small step back.

With the third lean, Howard exploded in full force, and Boozer went off the court like the provocative interior players in front of him, embarrassmented and powerless to take two steps back, covering his chest with his hands.

At this time, there was a throbbing pain in his chest, so Boozer could only watch unwillingly watch Howard slam the dunk with both hands, violently raging the basket.

"Shh~ This kid's power... I guess a few more times, I'll have to lie down and go to the hospital!

Boozer shook his head in his heart, indicating that he had been hasty!

Howard landed, raised his eyebrows contemptuously and glanced at Boozer, and ran back calmly and silently.

"Yes, Boozer, I'm just this strength! But what can you do with me?"

This wave of invisible pretense can be regarded as a high-level force, but the quieter Howard is, the more the fans at the scene worship and feel awesome because of the violent dunk.

Screaming and shouting in celebration of Howard's brutal score.

On the defensive end, Howard relied on his height, weight, strength and reach to completely block Boozer's offensive space, and after two consecutive defenses in the low post, the Jazz immediately changed their offensive options.

In the first 5 minutes of playing time, Howard's Boozer was 1 of 5, and the only shot was a long-distance shot by a pick-and-roll.

After that, as long as Howard faced Boozer, Boozer floated on the outside and no longer had the luxury of going inside to challenge Howard.

On the offensive end, Howard used his containment, passed inside, and fed the ball to Cassu many times, and Cassu was about to eat cake and vomit on the inside.

Coupled with the recovery of Francis and Hill's form tonight, Howard divided the ball between the two and basically got an assist.

By the end of the game, Howard played 20 minutes, 6-of-8, and had a quasi-triple-double of 16 points, 13 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 blocks.

And Casu, who was treated special by head coach Johnny in this game, played 37 minutes, 14-of-19, and set a personal high of 33 points and 10 rebounds.

Magic 107:92 Jazz

Before the game, the two teams were the leaders in the East and the big brothers in the West, both of which had only 1 loss, and the media reporters thought it would be a scorching game where Mars collided with the Earth.

As a result, after three quarters, it basically entered garbage time, which was a big disappointment.

The Magic are on a three-game winning streak again!
