On Jan. 7, the Bulls traveled to Orlando, Florida, to pick up the Magic on the road. The Magic team has been a powerhouse in the East in recent seasons, and its strength should not be underestimated. And he has the league's No. 1 center Dwight Howard on the inside.

The game was broadcast live in the United States, and the on-site commentator happened to be ESPN. Among them are Nick Fredale and his colleague Javier.

Before the start of the game, head coach Thibodeau arranged this tactic

"Noah, your task today is to limit Howard's offense under the basket, then scramble for rebounds, and as for offense, leave it to someone else. Korver, you started today, and you need your outside play today, play well... ”

As Hamilton is past his prime, his level and physical strength are declining, and now the team has arranged for him to play as a substitute, and now he is in the starting position. In his first few games, Korver averaged nearly 10 points per game and shot 43 percent from three-point range. It was unanimously approved by the coaching staff.

"Ding, release task:

Task 1: Help the team to win, reward for completing the task: 1000 points, 3 attribute points.

Task 2: Continue to write the myth of the outside line, and shoot 5 three-pointers from the outside. Reward: 3 attribute points. ”

The game starts with both starters:

Rose, Kyle Korver, Ruhr Deng, Boozer, Noah

Jason Richardson, Jamal Nelson, Heaton Turkegrew, Ryan Anderson, Dwight Howard

The game officially began, and there was no suspense about the jump ball, Howard broadcast the basketball with an absolute advantage, and the Magic team took the lead in attacking.

The Magic team still uses the most common routine, after Jamal Nelson gets the ball, waits for Howard to get stuck in the basket, and directly hangs the ball to the basket, and Howard holds the ball under the basket and plays alone.

"Bang bang" Howard leaned his back to Noah, and there was a muffled sound of muscles colliding under the basket, and Noah raised his arms and grinned back. Howard twisted his ass and forced a turnaround and scored a layup.

2:0；

"Hey, Noah, you've lost weight, haha" Howard smiled and went back to his defense.

"Damn, that's a lot of energy, hey, man, you're going to have to help me him" Noah rubbed his aching chest and glanced at Boozer.

"Ahem. That girl was so powerful last night, my legs are a little weak now, and I can't help much, but you can see how I'll kill him in a while" Boozer's face turned pale, and he quickly refused, and ran back when he turned around.

"Hey, Korver, why are you so afraid of confrontation when you say this Boozer is so strong" Noah grumbled when he saw Korver passing by.

"Guys, the offense is on" Rose saw Noah, who had been talking, and beckoned everyone to take position.

Rose took the ball, looked at the short guard Jamal Nelson, who was only 183 in front of him but weighed more than 90 kilograms, what else was there to say, he directly used his speed to pass it in one step, rushed into the 3-point line, and entered the penalty area with a small jump, and also took away the defenders on the outside, Howard in the penalty area had already opened his big hand, grinning and waiting for this cap to be in his hand.

Rose had already thought about it, and shot directly to the basket, the success rate was too low, and when he saw Korver running out of the empty space in the bottom corner, he decisively threw the ball to Korver, and made a 3-point shot, and his hand was up and down.

2:3；

"Rose, why don't you shoot under the basket, don't you dare" Howard is a big-mouthed optimist, teasing Rose who splits the ball.

Rose ignored it and turned back to defense.

The first two balls seemed to set the tone for the first quarter. The Bulls couldn't play the offense under the basket, relying on the mid-range shooting of Boozer and Rose, as well as the play of the 3-point swordsman Korver, to play evenly with the Magic.

The first quarter ended with the score 23:23.

"Boozer, pay attention to Howard under the basket, Noah is a little struggling alone, and you have to be active in grabbing rebounds, understand?" Thibodeau looked at the loose defensive mid-shot boy, and still clicked.

In the first quarter, Howard was overturned under the basket and scored 10 points + 5 rebounds.

Chen Shu was also a little puzzled, Boozer looked so fierce, why was the ball so soft.

"Chen, you know what? It's not that I don't want to help defend Howard, I'm trying to preserve my strength and make more contributions on the offensive end" Looking at Chen Shu's puzzled eyes, Boozer whispered close to Chen Shu's ear.

Chen Shu off the field and Chen Shu on the field are completely in two states, off the field can be said to be a cute existence, the team mascot, every player is willing to chat with him, I feel very comfortable. Except, of course, CJ Watson.

Rose made 0 of 1 shots from the outside, and 1 was covered from the inside. In the whole quarter, he made 2 of 6 shots, and relied on 2 mid-range shots to get 4 points and 2 assists, which was not efficient.

Thibodeau decided to use a backcourt combination of Chen Shu and Korver to increase the threat of outside projection.

"Man, Chen Shu is on the scene, I don't know if it's really like you said" Javier teased lightly.

"Let's wait and see, if Van Gundy doesn't make a fool, he will definitely limit Chen's 3 points," Fredale confidently said.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Chen Shu dribbled the ball through the half, and looked up to see Ryan Anderson running in front of him and opening his arms.

"it. What's the situation" Chen Shu was surprised. However, I quickly reacted that an article by an ESPN reporter before made many coaches discover Chen Shu's weakness, which was easy to cover on the outside. In this way, the three-point threat is greatly reduced. However, tall players are generally not fast, and Chen Shu can create opportunities for his teammates by breaking through.

But this is underestimating Chen Shu, Chen Shu's bounce has increased by 10 points during this time, reaching the C level.

"Haha, look, Javier, I think Van Gundy must have read my article, haha"

"I really guessed correctly, I don't know how Chen will deal with it now"

Ryan Anderson clings to Chen Shu, it seems that he is planning to let go of the rush, and it seems that Chen Shu's 3 points are very deterrent. Chen Shu's eyes were fixed, he thought of doing it, and decisively used his speed to dodge past Anderson, but soon someone changed the defense, Howard guarded the inside, and guard Jamal Nelson blocked Chen Shu outside the free throw line, Chen Shu didn't think much about it, and directly pulled it out, hitting the middle distance on Nelson's head at 183.

You must know that as long as it is not blocked, with the current strength of Chen Shu, there is a hit rate of more than 50% in the middle distance.

Seeing that the Magic team changed their defensive strategy specifically for Chen Shu. Chen Shu is still very happy, proving that he is not the rookie who was still worried about how to sign with the NBA before.

And soon, he will prove that these are all in vain, and that the reaction of his teammates will never be able to keep up with the speed of his own progress.

25:23. The Bulls lead by 2 points.

The Magic team still has bench depth, but the guard line is generally short, and it is unlikely that Chen Shu can effectively limit his mid-range.

The Magic team attacked, simple and bright, Nelson directly hung the basket, Howard flew up and jumped, caught the dunk in the air, and pressed the poor Noah under him.

The most laughable thing is that after seeing Howard jump, Boozer had already turned to the side, as if he was a spectator, watching Howard dunk Noah.

25:25。

"Nelson, that's it, I'm going to dunk 10 balls today. Haha," Howard laughed happily.

"Okay, no problem, I'll be comfortable putting the ball in your hands." Nelson responded.

"Nima" Noah grinned, as if he had seen the ravages that followed.

Chen Shu can't stand it anymore,

"Hey, buddy, we'll cooperate with one later, and let you deduct Howard one"

"Uh, Chen. . . You're sure of "Noah's version of the heart pretend."

"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about my passing. Believe me! Chen Shu arrived lightly.

Chen Shu on the court is very calm, and now the Magic team is sad about his defense, and it is easier to create opportunities for his teammates now.

After returning to the court, Chen Shu still faced Anderson with the ball, dribbled behind his back, and then directly accelerated past Anderson from the side and rushed directly to the penalty area.

Howard was also surprised that this kid dared to come to the penalty area to challenge him. Spread your arms and wait for Chen Shu to approach.

Chen Shu entered the penalty area, slipped to the bottom line, ran to the other side with the ball, and made a gesture to pull the rod for a layup, and Howard decisively jumped to block. It was overwhelming, sealing the route of Chen Shu's layup.

In the process of Chen Shu pulling the lever, he decisively hit the ground and passed the ball along the right baseline, and Noah steadily caught it and pulled out the dunk, at which time Howard immediately landed in the air.

Noah hit a dunk and grabbed the basket with both hands on the basket while his legs were on Howard's back.

Howard knew he had been fooled, felt the pressure on his back, and squeezed Noah away with his elbow. Noadri jumped down and yelled at Howard with his mouth wide open. The spittle stars are flying around, and the muscular boy is very embarrassed.

"Chen, it's beautiful, it's really relieving, hehe" slapped Chen Shu on the way back to defense.

"Haha, this Chen Shu, sure enough, the outside line didn't dare to make a move, I said that his bounce limited his ceiling" Fredale was very proud at this time.
