Chapter 69: Here's Your Chance
The Mavericks have been a regular in the playoffs all these years because the Mavericks have another good owner. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info Cuban has always left no stone unturned in building the Mavericks, and the Mavericks have almost never lost a home game, this is a very competitive sports owner.
The Mavericks' roster isn't luxurious this year, and Cuban seems to be pursuing a new trade target lately, as if he's already targeting a star point guard. There has been a lot of speculation that Cuban has targeted Jason Kidd, but not yet.
As soon as the game was played, Josh Howard surprised Battier, hitting Battier twice in a row in the low post, leaving Battier at a loss. Battier is not a theoretical player, he is better at defending from the outside, he has a hand for breaking and shooting, but he is worse at back-to-back play.
Adelman thought for a moment and replaced Battier with Hayes. Although Hayes is only 1.98 meters tall, his technical path is inside. He has enough strength to compete with O'Neal "The Big Shark". Wu Di was afraid of encountering him when he was competing in the team, and his strength was even better than Wu Di.
When Hayes came on the court, he was able to restrain Josh Howard's backplay. However, he was a little shorter than Josh Howard, and Howard couldn't squeeze him, so he turned around and hooked his hand, and Hayes, who was a floor streamer, caught blind.
After a few more minutes, Adelman had to call another timeout. The Mavericks were already difficult to defend with a Nowitzki, and now Josh Howard is a little bit crazy, and if he doesn't think about it, this game is a bit hanging.
This time Da Yao and Maddie's hand is not very good, and he can't fight against each other if he wants to.
After thinking about it for a while, Adelman had to recruit Wu Di to his side. He doesn't want to reuse Wu Di, and once the Rockets start relying on Wu Di, Wu Di is likely to become the new core of the Rockets. Wu Di does have such potential, after all, he is as physically strong as James, and he is also smart when he plays.
But today he had to use Wu Di, "Wu, you go defend Josh Howard. When you're on the outside, watch out for his strong hits, and when you're on the outside, watch out for his breakouts. ”
Wu Di had some excitement in his heart, this was his first appearance in the first quarter. In the NBA, there is a not-so-written rule that the main rotation players who can play in the first quarter are the main rotation players. He's always wanted to start, and maybe that opportunity will come.
Wu Di nodded vigorously and followed the main forces to the stage.
Josh Howard is a little smug that he's already shot two defenders, and the Rockets can't do anything about him. Looking at the rookie who came in, Josh Howard did not take the opponent lightly, he already knew about the rookie, this rookie scored nearly 30 points in the last game, and the Trail Blazers could not find the north.
Maddie was also angry with the Mavericks, and it was Josh Howard who defended him. Josh Howard is a well-rounded player, not just the offensive core of the Mavericks' perimeter, but also the core of the defense. Maddie never saw him as a star on his level, just as a defensive player, but today this defensive player scored more points than he did, which is unforgivable.
Maddie gave Josh Howard a defiant glance before stepping back into the backcourt.
Josh Howard is a little annoyed, after he joined the NBA, he didn't contribute statistics, but he still didn't reach the first line of fame. It used to be because his way of playing didn't attract the audience, but he admitted it. But today Maddie is so provocative, he can't bear it. Maddie is now averaging about the same number of points per game as him, so why is he more famous than himself? Why can he be called Jordan's successor? He's not Maddie a few years ago? Why do fans still support him so much, and every year All-Star is selected, why don't they choose themselves?
Josh Howard was about to pass the ball in the backcourt and rushed straight to Maddie, and he had to beat him. Josh Howard is not stupid, he is obviously in a good hand today, and he will not take advantage of this time to challenge Maddie, when to challenge.
But before he could rush in front of Maddie, a man stopped him. Josh Howard glanced at the number of the person in front of him, number 6!? Is it that second-round show of the Rockets?
Do you want to challenge me too? Then I'll show you how strong a player with an All-Star caliber really is!
Josh Howard wanted to get rid of Wu Di, and after a few breakthroughs, he found that Wu Di was actually faster than him, and his strength was not weak. Josh Howard couldn't get rid of it, he just passed the ball.
Wu Di saw Josh Howard pass the ball, and immediately stepped back, formed a joint defense with the others, and waited for the Mavericks to attack.
Josh Howard has a bad look on his face, and he wants to teach the No. 6 rookie a lesson, but he doesn't want to be disgraced by the rookie.
After an offensive setback, the Mavericks passed the ball to Nowitzki, who hit a shot.
The ball is out of place, and the Rockets' ball is basically in Maddie's hands. After Maddie couldn't get in, it was in the hands of Da Yao. If Da Yao doesn't have a chance, it's in Alstom's hands. Wu Di basically can't get the ball in the current lineup.
However, Wu Di was also mentally prepared, and he came up to restrain Josh Howard.
Josh Howard didn't dribble this time, but went down to the bottom of the basket, stuck Wu Di with his body, and began to ask for the ball. Wu Di and Josh Howard are about the same height, and their arm spans are almost the same. Wu Di withstood Josh Howard's back punch and didn't let him move a step inside.
Josh Howard sat down and hit twice, but he didn't even hit a single step, which made him a little annoyed, so many demons from the rockets, all of them were terrifying.
Josh Howard had no choice but to use the same trick that had been used against Hayes. With a shake, Josh Howard immediately twisted, then jumped up and threw the ball to the basket.
Wu Di has been waiting for this trick for a long time! Hayes is a floor stream and doesn't bounce much, which Najosh Howard doesn't. But Wu Di was not, he jumped up and grabbed the basketball with his big hand.
Grab the hat!
Everyone was shocked, no one thought that Wu Di would be able to jump so high!
Wu Di grabbed the ball, and most people were still in shock. Wu Di immediately dribbled and wanted to run to the front, and rushed across the middle line first, and the other players were one step away from Wu Di as fastest.
Here's your chance! Wu Di's eyes lit up, his speed increased to the fastest, rushed directly to the free throw line, stomped on the ground with his right foot, rushed up, bowed back, and smashed the basketball into the basket fiercely!
