Chapter 894

Philadelphia began to attack, the basketball was still firmly controlled by the AI, and it was Billups who defended him, and the only thing in the Knicks team who could contain the AI was the Flounder, who had excellent experience and strength.

Although Billups's absolute speed is still not the opponent of AI, several consecutive attempts to break through were blocked by Billups who reacted in time, and seeing that there is little time left for the attack, AI can only choose to force a shot.

The AI, who wasn't good at ending the fight in such a way, naturally missed the ball, but just when people were a little disappointed, Josh Howard stepped up. The rookie jumped up behind Dampoter, grabbed the basketball with one hand and pressed down.

"Boom!"

Everyone at the scene was stunned!

Josh Howard actually picked up the rebound on Darmsporter's head and smashed the ball into the basket. Seeing this scene, Lamar was really taken aback by the sturdiness.

In his memory, although Josh Howard is still outstanding among the rookies in this class, it is not unusual for him to grab a lot in the NBA with his strength. Although because of his appearance, history has deviated a little, Josh Howard has stimulated his potential in the Philadelphia 76ers, and his strength has been improved, but it is not so exaggerated!

If this trend really continues, Josh Howard will not only become a second Marion, but Pippen will be alive.

"Samuel, what the hell are you doing? Are you just keeping your eyes on the ceiling, watching behind you, or are you just going to be blown up by that rookie?"

Van Gundy was quite dissatisfied with Dampoter's rebounding protection this time, and shouted angrily. Looking at his posture, it was as if Dampott was going to dismantle him if he didn't correct it.

Dampotter was also very depressed, he had obviously scouted the surrounding environment just now, and found no threat. Who knows where that ugly ghost came from? Looking at Lamar, Dampotter wanted an answer, and who knew that Lamar shrugged and gave him a helpless look.

"Josh Howard is not a simple rookie, he did a lot of easy things in the NCAA, you must know that this guy is still Tim Duncan's junior brother. Lamar could only say these words in his heart, looking at Josh Howard, who was high-fived and celebrating with his teammates, Lamar could clearly feel Josh Howard's momentum coming up

The Knicks' offense, Dampoter, who was eager for revenge, squeezed into the 76ers' three-second zone in a few steps, leaning on Mutembo to reach for the ball. Although Mutembo is old, he still occupies a very important position in the 76ers today, and under the premise that Coleman has almost become a waste, Uncle Mu has become the only interior player that the 76ers can rely on now, a defensive general!

Josh Howard's strong play just now also made Uncle Mu's long-dormant heart change a little, and he became a little ready to move. In any case, he is also the number two person in the team now, and he is still the pillar of the team's interior line, so he is naturally unwilling to let a rookie be the only beauty.

So this time to defend Hilario, Uncle Mu is bent on proving himself in front of head coach Cheeks and AI, and proving that he is still the team's biggest inner line.

It was only when Uncle Mu put on a defensive posture and was ready to face Dampoter's first strong fight that he realized how stupid he was. At this time, Uncle Mu is obviously no longer the African mountain of hard steel Shak O'Neill 3 years ago, and his physical fitness has declined rapidly in the past three years.

And Dampot is not the slightly young and stunned 2 years ago, these two years of crazy training have completely turned the Haitian into a devil muscleman, and his strength has increased exponentially, coupled with the flexibility given to him by his young body.

Therefore, it is obviously impossible for Mutembo to play with Dampoter like he did two years ago, and by the time Mutembo realizes that it is not good, it will be too late! At this time, Mutembo just wants to go around the front defense, and it has become wishful thinking.

At this point, Dampotter spread his arms and held Mutembo behind him, making it difficult for him to move.

Seeing this, Lamar immediately passed the ball to the inside, and after receiving the ball, Damper did not make much adjustments, and directly forced a turn, relying on brute force to knock Mutembo into a mess, and then jumped up to dunk with both hands.

But how can Uncle Mu be so easy to deal with? After working hard in the NBA for many years, Mutambo has so much experience, he has long put away his previous contempt when Dampoter received the ball, and when he saw Dampoter forcing his shot, he quickly stretched out his arms and jumped up to block.

Mudembo relied on his excellent sealing sense of smell, and half of his palms were already on the basketball, but unfortunately the two hands were against one hand, and the difference in strength was evident at this moment. Mutembo's block didn't stop Dampote's goal at all, and after a bang, the basketball was stuffed into the hoop by the Haitian.

"Beep beep!" the referee's whistle also sounded at this time, and the finger pointed at Mutembo, the defensive foul. At this time, Uncle Mu was innocent!

The AI was naturally quite dissatisfied with this penalty, and walked up to the referee to reason with him. Of course, he can only put pressure on the referee, and he can't influence the referee's decision at all.

Although David Stern has started various reforms to the league since the start of this season, and the zero-tolerance policy has been put on the agenda, it has not yet been implemented. And big-name stars like AI naturally have some privileges, and it is impossible for the referee not to give face at all. So the referee explained simply.

Although Mutembo's block was unsuccessful, his positive defensive attitude still won a round of applause from the audience, and the AI also patted Uncle Mu on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

Watching Mutembo gradually take his place in the team and become more and more solid, Derrick Coleman, who was sitting on the bench, felt uncomfortable. It was at this time that Mutembo walked towards the bench, and it seemed that the block just now had some minor problems with his fingers that needed to be dealt with.

So Coleman, who was already jealous, consciously came up, and immediately put on a stinky fart and said: "African, this is your defense? The team must be blind, and even if it can give you such a big contract!"

Mutembo's temper has always been very good, and he was only slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he was stunned for a while. Although he usually has a very average relationship with Coleman in the team, and Coleman always has a nose or a face to himself because he grabbed the position of his team's starting center, but after all, they are all teammates of the same team, and Mutembo, who has long been accustomed to seeing storms, does not care too much.

Coleman ran away after saying that, and although his voice was not loud and he couldn't help frowning, he still didn't say anything. At this time, the team is in good shape, and he doesn't want to affect the stability of the team because of some small things, which will outweigh the losses.

AI takes the ball, Philadelphia 76ers offense.

After so many years of tempering, AI has become more and more mature, and its ability to control the rhythm has also been greatly strengthened. Although he is not as good as those NBA first-class handmen in terms of assists, at least in terms of offensive power, point guards all over the world are no match for him!

After the ball passed half court, the AI found a chance to pass the ball to Ragabel outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left side, and as soon as the basketball reached Bale's hand, Coleman, who had just replaced Mutembo, seemed to have played hormones, waving his arms and shouting for the ball: "Here! Raja, here!"

To be honest, Derrick Coleman was really unpopular with the 76ers at this time, and Ragabel also secretly scolded "idiot" in his heart. Coleman's position was already obvious, and when he was shouting like this, the Knicks' defenders were all fools! When Coleman asked loudly, he began to move in the direction of Coleman, and if he wanted to pass the ball again at this time, then Coleman was not an idiot, he was an idiot.

"It's a headache to have teammates like that, isn't it?" Billups looked at the AI with a breathless expression, and his heart was also amused.

AI snorted coldly: "Changxi, it's better to be optimistic about the people around you! My brother, I'm responsible for myself." ”

Looking at the appearance of the AI, Billups knows that the AI is very dissatisfied with Coleman now. What Coleman said to Mutembo before coming on the field just now, Billups also heard it clearly.

has been in the league for more than ten years, and now Coleman is no longer as tough as he used to be, except for game experience, fat and some small actions under the basket, there is nothing to take at all. The strength is declining year by year, but the temper is getting more and more irritable, and there is no self-knowledge at all, no wonder there has been a recent media news that the 76ers want to trade the All-Star power forward.

"Aaron, let's train Josh Howard well. Chaunsibilups also had contact with AI because of Lamar's relationship: "As for this dead fat man, it's a complete tumor! Trade as soon as possible, if it doesn't work, let's cut it!"

When the AI heard this, his eyes suddenly turned cold: "Changxi, do you think such a strategy is very clever?"

Changxi was stunned, and after a while he understood what the AI meant, it turned out that this guy thought he was sowing discord. Billups smiled and didn't speak, and was highly focused on preparing for the AI's attack.

Coleman is still yelling at requests on the inside, but Van Horn, his interior partner, has pulled away, creating space for the AI to play alone. Although the physical talent is not outstanding, Van Horn has a very high basketball IQ, otherwise he would not have made a good name in the league. As soon as he saw AI's posture, he knew that AI was preparing to fight alone, and as a younger brother, he naturally had the obligation to cooperate.
