Chapter 1025 1024. The Happy Beast Who Can't Be Happy
The impact of weight gain is still quite a lot. Kwame-Brown's 122 kg weight is facing Howard who weighs 115 kg. His bounce and bounce speed are a little bit inferior to the opponent. Although it is small, they focus on the jump ball, especially when Howard has been bullied by the Eagles.
The Magic go first.
Nelson receives the ball and advances toward the frontcourt.
After arriving in the frontcourt, Nelson did not pass the ball to Hill, but handed the ball to Raheem. Raheem was forced to start attacking from the outside by relying on his advantage of playing the fourth position to control the ball quickly.
Hill's singles with the ball is okay, but his efficiency is not high. The key is that his organizational ability with the ball has declined. The decline in organizational ability is because his singles efficiency has declined, which has become a vicious circle. After playing a few games, he gave up the ball and focused on scoring.
Nelson and Hill have no conflict of interest. Nelson is only a sophomore, so his contract will not be affected. The only players whose contracts are affected by Hill are those who want to renew their contracts, because Hill's contract occupies one-third of the salary cap.
When Hill gave up the ball, Nelson was even happier. After Raheem finished playing, it was him.
Raheem received the ball at the top arc, and Rasheed Wallace felt very troublesome. This former teammate who entered the NBA at the same time as him and was at the peak of 28 and nine years old, Rasheed Wallace knew how strong he was. After all, he was also a member of the "female love group" back then.
Raheem can shoot suddenly, can drop low, and has a certain three-point ability. He dare not let go. Rasheed Wallace feels that it is difficult to defend against breakthroughs.
Raheem decisively chose to break through, and Rasheed Wallace quickly posted it, but still couldn't keep up, so he could only follow behind Raheem tightly. Kwame Brown under the basket also stood on the right side of the three-second zone, ready to help defend.
Raheem rushed inside, attracted Kwame Brown's defense, and passed the ball to the left of the three-second zone. After receiving the ball, Howard was ready to take a step to dunk...
and many more!
Isn't that technical foul king chasing Raheem?Howard saw Rasheed Wallace follow up and rushed towards him!As soon as Howard received the ball, he was blocked by Rasheed Wallace!
Rahim still has some limitations in organizing offense. Vision is not necessarily good if you are tall, nor is it bad if you are short.
Raheem's vision is very average. He organizes the offense basically by breaking through and scoring the ball. He didn't notice that Rasheed Wallace who was following behind him was not rushing towards him. He saw Kwame Brown coming up to defend and thought he was attracted to a double team!
Indeed, in theory, Raheem can also attract double-teams. Howard's scoring soared this season, and Raheem's ability to score at the basket has a lot to do with attracting double-teams.
When Howard saw Rasheed Wallace coming up, he held his breath, turned sideways to play in a low position, and slammed into Rasheed Wallace, ready to rely on his body to open the way!
Howard slammed into Rasheed Wallace hard, and Rasheed Wallace suddenly dodged to the side. Rasheed Wallace was too smart and knew how to avoid his own disadvantages to defend his opponent. Howard savagely charged Rasheed Wallace.
Due to the lack of strength in the lower limbs, Howard relied on the explosive power of the upper limbs to hit the back with all his strength, and his center of gravity was too high. Rasheed Wallace withdrew his chair and fell to the ground on his side!
In addition to the pain, the fall did not break Howard, but the ball fell!
Rasheed Wallace's excellent defensive awareness completed a perfect switch!
Kwame Brown turns and bends to get the ball before Raheem and immediately passes to Rasheed Wallace.
Howard, who fell on the floor, reacted quickly, his defensive awareness was speechless, he pulled Rasheed Wallace's foot, the referee whistled, and Howard fouled!
The Eagles' defensive effect when switching defenses and when the inside defense is not a super inside, except for O'Neal this season, the Eagles have done very well in the inside defense in the first six games. Gasol was defended yesterday with 14 of 4 shots.
Howard's tactical foul was done well, he got up and patted his shoulder, smiled again, and turned back to defend.
The Eagles' fast break was interrupted and they fell into a positional battle.
After receiving the serve from McGrady, Liu Mang raised his eyebrows at McGrady. McGrady ran to the frontcourt. Liu Mang understood that he came first and moved forward to the frontcourt.
It's not without reason that McGrady let Liu Mang come first. Deshaun Stevenson defended McGrady, a first-class defender, and Nelson, who was facing Liu Mang, was far behind.
When Liu Mang reached the frontcourt, he didn't stop. After crossing the center line, he began to accelerate towards the right. Nelson quickly moved to the left. Liu Mang was outside the three-point line and suddenly changed direction to the left.
"Ding... the strongest first step is triggered, the host's speed will be +5 within two seconds of breaking through this time..."
With a lightning-like change of direction, Nelson moved ahead of time, revealing too much space, and Liu Mang broke into the inside line without any hindrance.
Howard's inside defense potential has begun to shine this season. He stepped up and stood in front of Liu Mang. At the same time, he also blocked Liu Mang's angle of observing the inside pass.
But because Nelson didn't give Liu Mang any hindrance, Liu Mang had already chosen the passing route when he broke through, and took the initiative to stick to Howard's body sideways, and shot the ball towards Howard's crotch...
Pass the ball through the crotch!
Kwame Brown receives the ball under the basket and puts the ball into the basket with both hands!
The passing gap between Liu Mang and Raheem is obvious, and the chances created are very different.
Offensive and defensive transition, the Magic attack.
The Magic's slow start is still the same. Raheem rushed to the inside and stopped passing the ball. He missed a jumper with a one-step stop on the right side of the three-second zone!
Howard currently ranks second in rebounds per game this season, second only to Garnett's 13.7 rebounds per game. He pushed hard with Kwame Brown, trying to grab offensive rebounds. Rebounds are their team's only advantage.
But... Kwame Brown didn't go for rebounds at all, he just wanted to prevent Howard from grabbing rebounds, and used his body stronger than Howard's to hold Howard firmly.
Howard rubbed forward, madly, and...
Feet slip on the floor!
Can't squeeze in at all!
Rasheed Wallace rushed into the inside immediately after Rasheed Wallace was shot to grab the ball. Thanks to Rasheed Wallace's quick reaction, he went directly to the block when he rushed in, instead of blocking the block, he narrowly took the rebound.
The Magic retreated quickly, their lineup retreated quickly, and they always dragged the game into positional battles. Although Hill's offense with the ball declined, his defense became better. The Magic did not see Hill's decline so much before the start of the season.
Liu Mang received a pass from Rasheed Wallace and slowly pushed forward, waiting for his teammates to take their positions.
After advancing to the frontcourt, Liu Mang crossed the center line and continued to speed up his breakthrough!
After the first attack, the Magic's defense changed. When Liu Mang reached the middle distance, Hill blocked him, and Liu Mang quickly scored the corner!
The Magic's defense is very selective. Put Prince, the eagle's worst scorer, and let Prince open to shoot.
After Prince received the ball, Howard was ready to squeeze Kwame Brown to grab a rebound, but to Howard's surprise, Kwame Brown retreated to the free throw line, which made Howard wonder, so confident in his teammates?Or do you not compete for offensive rebounds and prepare to defend against counterattacks?The Magic's counterattack is quite fast, but their counterattack efficiency is not good!
Instead of catching and shooting as the Magic players expected, Prince dribbled the ball and rushed towards the basket after receiving the ball!
Howard had nothing to say about his enthusiasm. He immediately turned around and took his position. As long as Prince made a shot, he was confident that he would block it!This kind of breakthrough that went straight and gave the opportunity to block the inside line, Howard could defend seven or eight times out of ten!
After Prince rushed to the edge of the three-second zone and jumped up, Howard jumped high and blocked all of Prince's shots. At this time, Prince threw the ball towards the free throw line. Howard turned his head in the air and saw Kwame Brown's face in front of him!
Howard, who was in the air, was knocked out, and Kwame Brown's dunk!
The Magic didn't expect that the Eagles' initial offense was all for Kwame Brown!
Moreover, even Prince's half-baked dribble and pass chose to pass the ball to Kwame Brown!
It is not uncommon for Prince to be able to send assists. He also averaged 1.5 assists per game after he received the ball and was defended.
Kwame Brown scored 4 points in a row!
Next, Howard started the most difficult game in the second year of his career. He found that the malice he felt at the beginning of the game was not an illusion, it was real!
The Eagles are targeting him!
Kwame Brown and Rasheed Wallace mainly blocked his scoring. When grabbing rebounds, they would rather be grabbed by Raheem than block his rebounds.
The offensive end can pass the ball to Kwame Brown, no matter how difficult it is, he will try his best to pass it to Kwame Brown to score.
The Eagles' plan is strictly implemented. Even though Raheem's rebounding ability is strong and he has rushed to grab offensive rebounds many times, he still does not let go of him.
Howard was playing, and couldn't be happier!
At the end of the first quarter, Raheem scored 9 points and 4 rebounds, the Magic scored 20 points in a single quarter, and the Hawks did not score many points. The pace was very slow, scoring 26 points, but Kwame Brown scored 11 points alone! 8 of 5 shots!
If it weren't for only 4 of 1 free throws, Kwame Brown would score more!
