When the AI heard these outrageous words, he wanted to press Coleman to the ground and beat him up. This season, Howard has far surpassed Coleman in all statistics and can be called the second attacker of the 76ers.

And Coleman's role now is more reflected in the ability to contain the inside, as well as rebounding, although the strength is not as good as before, but the huge weight is there, and it can still play the role of a meat shield on the inside.

Although Howard was annoyed that this guy always called himself an ugly ghost, he didn't say anything, after all, he was still a rookie. Even if Coleman's status in the team is getting worse now, it can't hide the achievements of this guy.

Thinking of this, Howard took the basketball and turned towards Coleman's arms, and also played with his back to play singles. Although he didn't have the advantage in terms of strength, Howard's agility made the head coach next to him Cheeks' eyes light up, and he felt a little more confidence in tonight's game.

Looking at Howard, who was standing in front of him and was slightly thin, Lamar really had mixed feelings. In his previous life, Lamar and this guy also had a lot of chances to fight, but unfortunately when he was traded to Dallas, this guy had already been traded to the Wizards.

In the previous life, the status of the two in the NBA should have been about the same, but now Lamar has become the No. 1 star in the NBA, and Josh Howard is just a rookie who is just getting involved in the rivers and lakes

When the two teams greeted each other before the game, Lamar also paid special attention to the slightly immature Howard: "You played well!"

Josh Howard was stunned, he didn't expect Lamar, a famous guy, to pay attention to himself, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited: "Thank you! ”

But Lamar doesn't care about this, in fact, Lamar was also very shocked, he didn't expect that he would say so casually to AI before the draft, which changed Josh Howard's career. What struck Lamar the most was the strength of Howard.

averaged 15.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1.2 steals and 1 block per game, such a record is selected for the All-Star Game rookie game, I believe no one dares to say anything, and even with his current data, he is not far behind LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Devon Wade, and Chris Bosh who have been praised by the media as the four essences of 03 this year!

Lamar was about to say something to Howard when an old friend, AI, walked over. As soon as Alan came up, he put a hand on Howard's shoulder, looked at Lamar and looked up and said with a smile, "Hey, Lamar, there are enough people around you, this guy is mine." ”

It can be seen that AI is very satisfied with Josh Howard, a rookie, who can achieve an average of 15.2 points and 6.5 rebounds per game at the small forward position, and only those players in the league who have proven themselves at an All-Star level are better than Josh Howard. But don't forget, this year's Josh Howard is still a first-year rookie, and if this trend continues, no one can say what heights Josh Howard will reach.

Looking at the AI's look like an old hen guarding her cubs, looking like no one is close, Lamar shook his head and said with a smile: "I know! This guy is still recommended to you by me, don't you know how to be grateful? The speed of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge is too fast, right?"

The referee watched the game and called for players from both sides to come on the field.

The referee of this game felt that he was simply lucky, and although the Philadelphia crowd did not treat Lamar very well, seeing him as an accomplice and villain, the relationship between the players on both sides, especially the core of the two teams, was very good. In this way, the probability of an accident in the game is much smaller, and compared to the referees who are terrified as soon as they enforce Lamar's game, the referee on duty in this game feels that his ancestral grave is going to be smoking.

Standing in the middle line and battling Dampot is Mutembo, a veteran who joined Philadelphia for the second time. Since entering the league, Haitians have been known as Mutembo II, a miniature version of Mutembo, but in this regard, Dampot is not reconciled, and always holds his breath to prove himself.

Since Coleman's abolition, Philadelphia has fallen into a staff shortage in this position, and it is clear that although Mudembo is old, his well-maintained African mountain jumping ability is much better than that of Coleman, who has become a pig's head.

The basketball was thrown into the air, and the game officially began.

Mutembo and Damper jumped up at the same time, both hands touching the basketball at the same time. Mutembo's height advantage was evident at this moment, but in terms of strength, the young and strong Dampoter had the advantage.

However, although Damper fought for the ball, the ball was not dialed to the designated position by the Haitian due to Mutembo's interference. The basketball flew straight to the sideline after making an arc in the air.

"Oops!" Lamar said to himself, and quickly rushed in the direction of the basketball. At the same time, another black figure also rushed towards the basketball, it was AI!

When it comes to speed, this pair of good friends and good brothers are equal, Lamar wins in stride, and AI wins in frequency. One of their feet stopped the car on the sideline almost simultaneously, and then both hands hooked the basketball at the same time.

Lamar, who had a longer arm, dominated the battle, grabbing the basketball in his hands first, and the Knicks had their first chance to attack.

The AI tried a steal, but Lamar was too alert to make it happen. Seeing that the blow missed, the AI hurriedly stepped on a small step to return to the defense, but a pair of eyes stared at Lamar, as long as Lamar made the slightest move, he would immediately rush up to the bag and strangle Lamar with the defender.

At the same time, Lamar saw that the AI was watching from the sidelines, and he didn't dare to accelerate through Howard in front of him easily. After a little steady, Lamar passed the ball to Billups and ran towards the bottom corner of the three-point line.

Although Howard admired Lamar and was grateful for Lamar's recommendation, he still followed Lamar closely and did not dare to be careless.

After all, after the edification and experience of these dozens of games, Howard also has a very intuitive understanding of Lamar, who has a great reputation. Through the study of the video footage of the game, as well as the AI's words and deeds, Josh Howard is all too familiar with Lamar's technical characteristics. He knew that Lamar was the kind of lord who would shine when he gave a little sunshine, so he kept a physical distance from Lamar at all times, neither daring to push too hard nor to be too far away.

"Old bird, won't you let me see your strength? Lamar, I want to see if your strength is as strong as the AI says!" Josh Howard's words are obvious, he has now adjusted himself to the best condition, although he is not as good as Lamar in all aspects, but this does not mean that he will admit it.

"Don't worry, isn't there more than 40 minutes in the game? We have enough time to show you what I'm capable of! Let you know what an NBA superstar is!"

Lamar said as he suddenly stepped forward and caught Howard off guard. At the moment when the two people made physical contact, Lamar suddenly turned around, turned his back to Howard and then turned around one after another, making it clear that he wanted to bully Howard for his poor physical fitness and inferior strength to him.

In the face of Lamar's almost rogue tricks, Josh Howard had no choice but to be knocked by Lamar. By the time he was on his feet, Lamar had already run to the basket and jumped to the basket just in time for a pass from Billups.

Just when the fans thought that the ball was going to be scored, a hand suddenly appeared on the trajectory of the basketball.

"Smack!" and Lamar was actually blocked.

It turned out that the moment Lamar received the ball, Mutembo had already sensed the danger and rushed over to make up for it. But Lamar has already jumped, and in a hurry, the African mountains jumped with their legs, although they were still far away from Lamar when they jumped, but with the advantage of height and arm span and a keen sense of blocking, Uncle Mu's fingers still slid to the basketball.

The basketball was touched by Mudembo and then changed its trajectory and bounced off the hoop. Lamar was also shocked to see that he was actually blocked by Mutembo, but his reaction was faster, and when he saw the basketball flying towards him again, he quickly jumped up and grabbed the basketball with both hands. Without waiting for himself to land, Lamar leaned forward and smashed the ball directly into the basket.

After landing, Lamar didn't have time to experience the joy of scoring at all, but secretly said: "It's dangerous!"

Seeing that he was finally scored by Lamar, the fans at the scene were also depressed. However, Uncle Mu still showed his strength in defending this time just now, and the old guy still seems to be still young. This surprised Philadelphia fans, and it seemed that this year's big contract was not unjustly spent, and there was a round of applause at the scene.

Uncle Mu also shook his hand in annoyance, if he could have been faster in defense just now, this ball would have been a very beautiful hot pot, but unfortunately it fell short in the end.

Because of the flapping of the wings of Lamar, the little butterfly, Uncle Mu's future has completely changed. Originally, he was supposed to retire with the New York Knicks, then play with the Houston Rockets, and finally end up in the Western Conference finals.

But now the African Mountains have once again become Philadelphia's inner barrier, the biggest helper by the AI's side. If this development continues, he may even hope to retire in Philadelphia in the future and become one of the symbols of Philadelphia.

Fans are also more and more fond of this African uncle who never knows his age, and feel that Mutembo is a gift from God. Just when Philadelphia was in trouble and gradually declining, Uncle Mu came back again. Coupled with the advent of Josh Howard, AI has also been rejuvenated.

Of course, Philadelphia fans can't know that the reason why Philadelphia was able to choose Josh Howard was also thanks to Lamar's recommendation. Of course, even if they knew, they wouldn't be grateful to Lamar.
