Chapter 138: Means
In the 76-man formation, there are many people who are good at robbing.
In addition to Allen Iverson's perennial top steals list and even the league's steal king, this small forward Andre Iguodala is also a figure who is good at this.
This season, Andre Iguodala averaged 15.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.9 steals per game, including 1.9 steals that ranked ninth in the league.
Nelson made a mistake, and Iguodala made a steal and went straight to the top.
Coming to the frontcourt, the fans at the Valgiovia Center stood up and held their breath as they waited for Iguodala's performance.
Iguodala looked back and made sure the Magic had given up on the defense, so he slowed down.
In the middle of his thoughts, he had already stepped on the outside of the forbidden area and rose into the air.
In the air, the body hovers.
Grab the basketball with both hands and turn 360 degrees.
"Bang!"
Buckle!
A 360-degree turn dunk that was enough to participate in the slam dunk contest amazed the entire arena, and everyone erupted in heart-rending cheers at that moment.
The picture is so beautiful!
Even Wang Tomorrow couldn't help but stand up and applaud.
Iguodala's dunk was quite Vince Carter's style.
On the one hand, seeing such a wonderful dunk must be praised, but it is the opponent who dunks, and he can't shout if he wants to.
"I'm coming!"
Howard's heart is on fire, a 360-degree dunk is amazing?
The Magic team attacked, Howard took the initiative to ask for the ball, and this time, Durham Porter was deeply stuck, his body pressed Howard, and his long arms interfered, not wanting Howard to receive the ball so easily.
Howard was pushed by Bowler and suddenly his eyes flickered.
After making eye contact with Tekoglu on the outside, he suddenly exerted his strength, turned around like a top, got rid of it, and walked the bottom line!
At that moment, Tekoglu's hands shook, and the basketball obediently flew in the air.
Turkoglu passed the ball straight to the right side of the basket.
"Warcraft" bounced on the spot, raising its terrifying long arms in the air, and in the absence of much space and time, it burst out with amazing bounces and stagnation in the air.
It was as if I had been waiting in the air for 1 second before the basketball flew in.
Hands snapped together.
"Bang dang!"
The palm of the hand smashed the frame, and it clanged.
It was a response from the Magic, a wonderful aerial relay, and Tekoglu's pass was also wonderful, spanning the entire 76ers' half-court defense.
That's how talented NBA players play, waiting for basketball in the air.
After Howard finished dunking the basket, he was angry, standing under the basket and roaring, he really looked like a monster.
Wang Mingming's brows furrowed, and he quickly had a battle plan to suppress the Warcraft in his mind, but when he thought about it, it seemed that there was no need to suppress the Warcraft, no matter how many points Howard scored, it was useless for Howard to score more, his strongest was defense, as long as he couldn't play the role of the defensive end, the magic weapon of magic would be abolished.
Wang will turn over the tactical board tomorrow, determined to ignore Howard's play.
At 7:38 of the first quarter, Durham Porter received a second foul, and Durham Potter was replaced by King Tomorrow, and the replacement player was Paul Millsap, at this time, Paul Gasol moved to the center position.
Gasol defends Howard, and Howard immediately complains.
This Gasol looks at the soft style of the ball, but the confrontation is really not weak, and the next game is also amazingly stable, Howard is not good at this time, hook hands and half-hanging, if he is in the low position, he is most afraid of encountering a player with a stable chassis.
What's more, Gasol also has a pair of arms that are longer than him, which is impenetrable when waved in the air.
Howard suddenly lost his previous glory, and his performance on the court tended to be calm, and the 76ers took the opportunity to pull away and end the first quarter with a 25-22 lead.
Stan Van Gundy also said that Howard, who had 10 points and five rebounds in the first quarter, was tired and let Howard rest in the second quarter.
The Magic also has a few good players on the bench, including Mahain Gortat, Keith Bogans, JJ Redick, etc., among them, JJ Redick Wang will hear a little more about tomorrow, after all, it is rare for a player to go to prison for drunk driving in the offseason of his rookie season.
The Magic's accumulation is a little better than the Hawks, but it's still a lot worse than the 76ers.
Louis Williams, Willie Green, these players are all good scorers on the 76ers bench, one is good at shooting, one is good at bursting, and Paul Millsap can be organized, the 76ers bench is no worse than the starters of the weak team, and the Magic bench PK without Howard gradually has the upper hand.
Van Gundy immediately replaced Howard, who had only rested for a while.
Howard has a lot of energy.
After coming on the court, he made a cover for Redick.
Redick's single-block cover shot was directly missed, but the rebounding ball bounced very high and very off, and the 76ers retracted players failed to pay attention, and the rebound was directly taken by Howard.
"Bang!"
Howard crashed into Millsap, got a strong rebound under the basket, and dunked.
This season, Howard is the league's most dunk-dunk, shooting 60 percent from the field, second only to Dampier, Biedrins, Tyson Chandler and other famous cake eaters in the league.
Howard was so lethal that halfway through the second quarter, he had already made many people foul.
At this time, Wang Tomorrow suddenly made a gesture on the sidelines, and all the 76ers players on the court saw it.
Lowe misses a jumper.
The Magic attacked, at this time Howard served the baseline ball, and Bogans had just rushed through the half court when he suddenly heard the referee's whistle.
"Called a pause?"
Turning his head, Howard was dumbfounded.
The fans laughed and then made a loud noise.
Howard walked to the free throw line, and the footage showed that Louis Williams, who had just come off the bench, directly fouled Howard without the ball.
Slash shark tactics!
Howard frowned deeply and stood at the free-throw line, finding that he was surrounded by people staring at him, and there were all kinds of distracting fans in front of him, as if everyone was waiting for his joke.
As his power grew, his free throw shooting got worse and worse, and in his first season in the league, he also averaged 67 percent of his free throw shooting per game, but now, he is shooting less than 6 percent from the free-throw line.
O'Neill, who is a little more than 5 percent, is just a little better.
But the real test of cutting sharks is the mental level of the players, and as soon as Howard was particularly targeted, his heart beat a drum.
Especially at this time, the Magic are still behind, and every time he misses a free throw, the Magic are in danger of scoring a point.
"Bell~"
"Bell~"
Both free throws were lost, and Howard's face was ugly.
Also with an ugly face is Stan Van Gundy, he never thought that Wang would not play according to the routine tomorrow, obviously the 76ers were leading at this time, and he also cut the shark, under normal circumstances, the shark would be cut when the team was behind, because the psychological warfare effect at this time was better.
But it is undeniable that Howard, who lost both free throws, is already in chaos in his heart, and Wang Tomorrow's tactics have worked.
No matter how many points Howard scores, it will be inefficient, and the point difference will only get bigger.
Because at this time, the 76ers are attacking like a tide, and the momentum is extremely ferocious!
