Chapter 201 Bloat is a disease, it must be cured!
"SHIT!"
After Howard took off and landed, he shot out of the American National Academy with a depressed face. He wanted to defend the ball so much that he used too much force. Larry Hughes sent him flying with a simple false throw.
So much so that the connection between Larry Hughes and Zuo Li was completed.
The whole process can be described in four words: ruined reputation!
The commentator, who was still crazily praising Howard's defensive skills just now, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed after seeing this scene, and could only explain in pale words: "Well, this ball, Larry Hughes made a good pass, and Zuo Li was just a simple counterattack. If you run, you will eat cakes."
He could only use Zuo Li's effect on the ball to surround Zuo Li and save Huo. After all, he spent a long time saying that Howard defended Zuo Li much better just before the start, and this ball was a slap in the face.
But don't worry, because Howard strode to the Knicks' half court after the defensive failure. Two seconds after the goal was scored, the baseline ball was sent out.
Turkoglu dribbled the ball across half court and gave it to Nelson, then slipped to the bottom line to drive away the defense, received a pass from Nelson, and then gave it to Howard, who had just stood with his back.
Seeing this combo, Zuo Li really wanted to give Turkoglu a thumbs up.
If Howard was the defensive core during this period, Turkoglu must be the offensive core, and he is definitely the most suitable forward swingman Howard has encountered in his career.
Can handle the ball, have a high ball quotient, be good at the perimeter, have a big heart, and can top a power forward when necessary. Turkoglu at his peak really has many advantages.
In the current lineup of the Magic, except for Howard, they are basically shooters. Point guard Nelson is also good at shooting. Turkoglu has got a lot of opportunities to handle the ball. in his body.
Of course, he has also fully realized his talent. As we all know, Howard cannot attack with the ball by himself. At the same time, his offensive methods are very scarce, his post-up skills are poor, his shooting is not good, and he is not accurate in free throws. He is far worse than O'Neal back then. Far.
It can also be seen from the failure of the two super centers Ewing and Olajuwon to teach him after 6-7 years.
This also led to sometimes defenders passing the ball to him, and he couldn't score.
Then he gets angry and feels that he has received too little support...
Looking at the data, it is true that Howard's scoring average reached a record high this year, and it was only in the early 20s. Next season, it will return to below 20 points. His career scoring average has only exceeded 4 points in 20 seasons. The playoffs are 3 times.
Defensive ability aside, this data belongs to a good star, far from being a super giant. Just look at how Ao Pang was rampant on the offensive end during his peak period.
After leaving the Magic and changing to three or four teams, the same is still the case. In each team, he complained that he received too little support. In the end, when he was around 30 years old, his body degenerated and his true colors were revealed.
Howard's only superpower at his peak was his physical fitness. As long as he was allowed to receive the ball in a specific area, Howard's confidence in finishing was quite high.
And throughout his career, Turkoglu, an alternative point forward, can feed him the most comfortable ball.
Just like this ball, Turkoglu first opened up the defense to prevent Howard from being pinched, and then came out and passed a comfortable ball. How comfortable the ball is, Howard can dunk it against it.
It's simply a nanny pass.
Howard is also very happy. This position has been his favorite position since he was a child. The only complaint is that it is not Zuo Li who is defending him!
But Randolph, the big black bear!
The Zen Master once joked: Randolph should be at least 2.10 meters tall if it wasn't because of his short neck.
But even if Randolph is only 2.06 meters, he has never relied on his height for food. His wingspan is 224 cm. Before meeting Zuo Li, his wingspan was his greatest pride, which made his rebounding ability and defensive ability better than Imagine better.
Of course, his biggest advantage has to be his weight!
Now he weighs a full 120 kilograms, almost as heavy as Howard, plus he is shorter than Howard, there is no problem with monoclonal Howard.
And Howard is afraid of this kind of big meat shield, because he lacks the strength of his lower body, so it is really difficult to push up, once or twice is okay, Howard is estimated to be hospitalized for the whole game.
But this was just the beginning, and Howard tried his best to push in, playing the board under Randolph's interference.
Did not score!
Zuo Lixiao accepted the rebound, dribbled the ball and launched a fast break. Instead of playing fast, he waited for Howard to come over angrily, and gave Randolph an assist. Randolph's big ass dug Turkoglu, easily Scored under the basket!
"Nice! You are such a nimble fat man!" Zuo Li smiled and gave Randolph a high-five, and rubbed Randolph's huge buttocks. Not to mention, the feeling was overwhelming.
Randolph smiled happily. Before the game, he discussed the tactic with Zuo Li. He was responsible for defending Howard, putting pressure on Howard first, and giving him strength. Now it seems that this tactic is very successful.
The Magic continued to attack. Tonight, the teammates deliberately helped Howard score points. Nelson also honestly did not choose to play alone, but dropped the ball to Howard.
But Randolph was so fleshy that Howard couldn't handle it, so he could barely hit the ball near the basket with a kindergarten-level hook.
Then Zuo Li received another board!
Howard's turning movement is really easy to judge, no wonder Dayao can bully him, as long as he can withstand Howard, he is not difficult to defend.
The commentator on the scene was already too embarrassed, what happened to Howard tonight, why did he like to slap himself in the face so much.
Director Zhang will tell you!
"The only advantage in playing Randolph Howard is that he is tall enough and faster, but he can only use his size at the beginning of the game. If he can shoot or hook, he can hit one accurately!"
"That's right, didn't this hit and didn't score..." Yu Jia is so sweaty, if Howard could hook, he would have become a god sooner, so how could he be beaten by Dayao for so many years.
On the other hand, Howard was defending left standing, and this time Zuo Li didn't pass the ball, but attacked personally with the ball at the top of the arc. Suddenly, his shoulders shook. The defense is indeed fast, but Zuo Li is not slow, he does not stop the ball in three steps, and takes off directly to complete the dunk!
6-0!
Howard was so angry that he wanted the ball even more frantically. However, under the help of Randolph's top man and Zuo Li, Howard made an embarrassing 6 of 1 shots in the first quarter and paid 2 fouls.
Fortunately, Turkoglu stopped it in time and turned to the outside line. Nelson scored 6 points efficiently, and with Turkoglu's own 7 points, he barely ended the first quarter with a 23-30, 7-point disadvantage.
In the second quarter, the Magic strengthened their protection for Howard, and started to pick and roll on the offensive end. He finally completed a dunk, but overall, he still played very miserably, scoring only 6 points in the half.
And Zuo Li has scored 16 points, and his performance is perfect.
This made Howard very upset, and the midfielder said directly to the reporter: "Zuo Li is a coward. He doesn't dare to confront me at all. He only dares to hide behind Randolph. If we have the ability, we will fight a real fight. !"
It can be seen that Howard was really pissed off by Zuo Li, and he said such naive words. Of course, this is actually the epitome of Howard's career.
Childish, immature, emotional.
But obviously, his words hit Zuo Li's heart, because Zuo Li was already planning to exert his strength in the second half.
"Swelling, it's a disease, and it needs to be cured!" Zuo Li said before playing, looking at the chattering Howard.
