Although it has been more than a year, when Howard appeared at the Staples Center, he was still booed by the fans. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In Los Angeles, not only fans, but also players are still haunted by Howard's defection from the Lakers to the Rockets.

Maybe Kobe Bryant is really difficult to get along with, but Howard's behavior is a child's heart after all, and he has no responsibility for men at all.

Could it be that Kobe Bryant doesn't let go? You must know that in the D'Antoni system at that time, Howard's offensive and defensive positioning was very high, and he seemed to be introduced as the core of the Lakers' future.

But Howard has always been resentful because he failed to replace Kobe? Maybe the Lakers management really promised him something at the time, but it turned out that he was really impatient. Giving the Lakers to such a person is obviously not reassuring.

Moreover, the important thing is that Kobe Bryant has been with the Lakers for more than ten years, and it is obviously an uproar to replace his position and replace his weight in the hearts of Lakers fans in a moment and a half.

You know, Kobe Bryant has used more than ten years of hard work to build a personal position, and Howard wants to replace Kobe Bryant if he doesn't show results? That's obviously impossible.

It can only be said that Howard is a very ridiculous player, although he is very powerful, but his heart is the most fundamental factor restricting him after all.

He felt that going to the rocket would get what he wanted.

But looking at it now, he can still only play as a green leaf next to Harden, playing conscientiously under the coaxing of McHale, and the position of the leader is definitely getting farther and farther away from him.

Obviously, it is not difficult to predict that sooner or later the contradictions between Howard and the rocket will erupt.

For this, Chu Xuan, who was a person who came over, was not worried at all.

In the first half of his career, Howard was shrouded in the aura of the first center, but in the second half of his career, he had to pay the price for his immaturity, that is, displacement.

Perhaps, he doesn't know where his path is now, and maybe he will miss his days in Orlando on countless bad nights.

……

The fans welcomed Howard with a frantic boo, and instead, the Lakers' young twin towers were greeted with crazy cheers from the fans.

This is the most ironic situation, you know, this kind of scenery can belong to Howard completely.

But everything went away because of his willfulness.

A comparison of Knoll and Howard's individual performances and Whiteside was seen on the big screen.

Howard: Averaged 34.3 minutes per game, 20.8 points, 9.8 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 1.5 blocks, shooting 54.7% from the field and 49.3% from the free throw line.

Knoll: Averaged 34.8 minutes per game, 22.3 points, 8.9 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 2.0 blocks, shooting 56.5% from the field and 74.9% from the free throw line.

Whiteside: Averaged 33.0 minutes per game, 15.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 2.3 blocks, shooting 60.3% from the field and 77.9% from the free throw line.

The stats are the most straightforward comparison, Howard seems to be slowly losing his dominance on the inside, his technique is too rough, and his height is at a disadvantage, and he is losing his athletic advantage as he ages. Suffice it to say, Howard today is completely inferior to the Twin Towers, not even to any of them.

It is naturally Knoll who is directly compared to Howard, judging from the current situation, the sophomore Knoll is more efficient than Howard on both offensive and defensive ends, and the important thing is that he has mid-range shooting skills that Howard does not have.

Moreover, Noll does not have the kind of ambition that Howard has, he has always played with gratitude to Chu Xuan and the Lakers, which makes him willing to play any role, and he has always respected Kobe Bryant very, very much.

It can be said that if the Rockets trade Howard for one of the twin towers now, Kupchak will definitely not agree.

Because, the advantage of the Twin Towers is their youth, which gives them a very bright future, and they are completely higher than Howard in terms of personal value.

……

For all those who follow this ball, the contest between Howard and the Twin Towers is one of the biggest highlights.

The home fans at the Staples Center, in particular, were all in the hope that the Twin Towers would make Howard look good.

With such anticipation, the competition was launched in a very hot atmosphere.

Bryant and Harden are not directly facing each other, Bryant is facing Isaiah Kanan, while Harden is facing Antetokounmpo.

Obviously, in such a matchup, the most concerned is still the battle between the Twin Towers and Howard.

In the jump ball session, Howard was defeated by Whiteside, triggering excited cheers from the fans.

The advantage of the Lakers is the inside, the lineup of the three insides is swinging on the court, Howard is completely useless, he is completely locked up.

For the Lakers, their strategy to defend Howard is simple, which is to limit him out of the paint area and not give him space to jump, and the Lakers' interior team has the advantage of height and arm length, and Howard's deterrent power has been almost weakened to the extreme.

However, James Harden and Parsons are two players who play well on the outside.

The Lakers have the advantage on the inside and play well. The Rockets, on the other hand, relied on the indiscriminate bombardment outside the three-point line, and played on a par with the Lakers, and the scene was relatively stale.

Antetokounmpo didn't defend Harden very well, and although Antetokounmpo had a big physical advantage, he couldn't avoid being touched by Harden, which made Harden still play efficiently and threatening.

However, the Rockets' interior line was blown up, and it was obviously impossible to just rely on the outside to win.

Noll played Howard with ease, and in that the first quarter of the game proved that. Howard was completely blown up by Knoll.

And Whiteside was in very big trouble with Howard in the paint area.

His defensive skills made Howard's offense very inefficient, and he was only able to rely on outside assists and dunks to score points.

In addition to the twin towers, even Gasol and EGen were able to occasionally gain the upper hand over Howard's head and hit good shots.

Lakers fans are very happy, because this game is completely a group of Lakers inside line taking turns to blow up Howard, which makes them angry fiercely.

Howard was hard to beat with two punches and four hands, and only scored 12 points and nine rebounds at the end of the game.

On the other hand, on the Lakers' side, Noll had 25 points, 7 boards, 2 blocks and 2 steals, Whiteside had 11 points, 13 boards and 3 blocks, Gasol had 8 points, 6 boards and 5 assists, Yi Jian United had 9 points and 5 boards, and even Wang Zhelin scored a season-high 7 points.

The advantage of the interior allowed the Lakers to hold the advantage, and in the end, Kobe Bryant hit a key three-pointer to seal the game, and finally the Lakers defeated the Rockets 105-101 to win the key game. (To be continued.) )
