Chapter 142: Eating, Sleeping, and Fighting Warcraft

Rashad Lewis was efficient, but he didn't have much chance under the overall stellar performance of the Magic.

Sean got a terrifying 20+10 stats, and there was no suspense about winning.

Although the league has different evaluations of players, it ...... Sean really doesn't think Lucridno is better than Alexno, Lucridno, who averages 14+7 per game this season, has a very good evaluation, but he was suppressed by Sean on the court.

Alex Norn is close to retirement, and his career is not highly rated, but he has performed very well against Sean.

Stefanson has not been good at performing badly before, but when he was teammates with Sean, he was very suitable, and he reached a new peak on both offensive and defensive ends this season.

After playing the spirited SuperSonics, the Magic team ushered in a big battle again at home.

This big war...... It's a national live stream.

Team Magic vs. Team Rocket.

The Rockets have been very strong this season, or they have been very strong in these seasons, and the performance of the Rockets team that makes up the MM combination is simply against the sky, and there are a lot of sensational news in the media every day. Team Rocket Fears ...... Or...... Win.

However...... Sean could only feel it.

The Rockets look strong, but in fact they are a real pseudo-strong team.

Maybe the addition of Yao Ming and Maddy has made this team very strong and interesting, but fundamentally speaking, the Rockets are not as real as the Magic, and this game has attracted many people's attention before it has even started.

On the one hand, Yao Ming vs. Sean, and Chinese stars vs. China Mobile Great Wall, such a game should not be too violent in China's ratings. On the other hand, Yao Ming's matchup with Howard's center, as well as the battle between Maddy and Grant Hill's new and old superstars, are all gimmicks that many fans are willing to watch.

Before the game, the media began to play up the game.

"The Rockets vs. the Magic, maybe it's a prelude to the playoff battle. The two teams are upstarts in recent years, and the two teams may meet in the playoffs, and this game will be a battle of centers, a battle of superstars, and a playoff preview......"

"Yao Ming vs. Howard, the league's top center showdown, after the sharks get old, there is no suspense in such a matchup."

"Maddie against Grant Hill, the old and the new at the small forward position, who is competing ......"

"Moving the Great Wall against a Chinese point guard superstar, who can have the last laugh."

…………

The media's discipline was shattered, and although Sean didn't know the league that well, he sensed that Howard was a little uninterested when he was training within the team. Facing Yao Ming, Howard felt elated.

"Hey, man, this game is going to win, you've got to score some more goals."

Howard rarely didn't ask for the ball when he was training, but encouraged Sean to make a move, this time Sean was confused, Sean looked at Howard with a confused face, Howard smiled and didn't explain.

When it came to the game, Sean understood.

Yao Ming beats Howard...... It's like brine dotting tofu, one thing drops another.

When Chinese fans tout Yao Ming, they all have such a sentence, Yao Ming doesn't say anything else, his favorite thing to do is to eat and sleep and fight Warcraft. Although Warcraft Howard has been slowly touted as the league's No. 1 center in the past two years, this No. 1 center is not worthy of the name.

Each of the four centers in ancient times had a strong dominance, both offensively and defensively.

But now...... It's embarrassing after the shark gets old.

Yao Ming is very dominant, but the physical problem is not strong, not strong enough, he can be regarded as the top center in the league at will, there is still a distance from the four centers, Howard's dominance is no problem, the defensive end is equal to the four centers, and even more suitable for the tactical characteristics of the new era, but Howard's offense is ...... I can't go into too much detail.

The first ball, Yao Ming prepared Howard, and then easily hit a hook shot.

Howard was helpless.

Yao Ming's height and weight, no one can stop him in the low post, coupled with accurate mid-range shooting, the nickname of China Mobile Great Wall is not exaggerated at all, and Yao Ming is very happy after meeting Howard.

In the first quarter, Yao Ming was 3 of 3, and Howard was helpless.

But...... The Magic team couldn't help but not fall behind, but lead.

Yao Ming's movement speed is slow, and the interior defense ability is not strong enough, while the Rockets' defense is ...... Alston is embarrassed, Sean is casual when he plays Alston, and Juwan Howard's defense is not very good.

In this case, the Rockets' defense is more average.

The head coach of the Magic team is Stan Van Gundy and the brother-in-law of the head coach of the Rockets Van Gundy are brothers, and the two not only have a good relationship, but also have a similar coaching style, and they have been very successful in building a defensive system.

But...... No matter how good a system is, it needs good players.

In the face of the Rockets' defense, Sean played the fast break directly, not giving the Rockets a chance to resist at all. The Rockets played well in the first quarter, but in the second quarter, Yao Ming was out of breath, Maddie was lazy, and when he was constantly pestered by Stephenson, he didn't feel good in the second quarter.

At the start of the second quarter, the Magic took the lead.

In the third quarter, Yao Ming continued to play, making 3 of 4 baskets, tenaciously leading the team to persevere.

But Sean continued to pick up the tempo and play to the Magic's advantage.

Throughout the game, the two sides and the media did not mention Yang at all.

The battle of Yao Ming or Howard was completely Yao Ming's cruelty to Howard, Yao Ming scored 29 points and 11 rebounds on 7 of 12 and 1 of 19 free throws in the whole game, compared to Howard's only 7 points and 9 rebounds, which was completely destroyed by this data and court performance.

But Sean had 34 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds, and he performed very well. Several times while Yao Ming was not beaten, he succeeded in stealing the ball and played very well.

Maddie vs. Grant Hill...... This is a complete lie.

In fact, although Grant Hill was the starter, it was Stephenson against Maddy, although Maddy got 19 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, but the efficiency value of 6 of 16 was very low, and he did not take the lead at all, especially in the fourth quarter, the shooting rate of 3 of 0 was very disappointing.

Darko had 22 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, and Stephenson had 9 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.

The best performer was Grant Hill, who was 8-of-14 from the field with 22 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, and was a big contributor to the Magic's victory. Although Grant Hill did not dare to fight on the court and made very small movements, his judgment of the court situation and the selection of the ball were excellent, and his shooting was also very standard.

Stephenson is no match for Grant Hill in this regard.

Stephenson is more aggressive and more defensive, and Grant Hill is better on the court and shooting skills, and the two are not only not contradictory together, but also more suitable together.
