Small forward, if Grant Hill hadn't been injured, he would have been the first man in this position, but unfortunately he was injured. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Hill didn't come to the arena today and was doing rehabilitation.

Power forward Kevin Cato, a brilliant blue-collar player, is a standard 90s player with a tough style of play and is willing to do the dirty work, but he is more than positive and has little effect.

If this lineup is combined with Okafor, who is good both offensively and defensively, it will directly build an excellent playoff lineup.

But it's a pity that Hill continues to be injured this year, and it is said that he will be able to return next month, and the Magic did not choose the strong Okafor, but chose a blue-collar Howard who is the same as Cato, plus some arrangements from the management that made the players feel awkward, resulting in them becoming the second-to-last in the East.

However, they had Maddy, the leading scorer last year, and it seems that their record is also at the bottom of the league.

Today's Magic starters are Francis, Mobley, free agent Hido Turkoglou, Cato, Howard, who signed free agents from the Spurs.

The Bobcats are still the same old on their side, with Blevin Knight, Ye Han, Capono, Gerard Wallace, and Okafor.

Jump Ball!

Howard easily won the jump ball with amazing bounces.

What a great physical fitness! Ye Han's eyes lit up, no wonder this guy was able to win the champion as a high school student, and his physical fitness was comparable to that of the big man of the wizard.

But what's the use of just having good physical fitness? Just look at the ability of the guy in the Wizards, he has no physical fitness and no skills, and he won't use his body for nothing.

The next scene confirmed Ye Han's point of view.

Magic attacked, Magic was willing to let go of Maddie, just to train Howard, in exchange for Francis also had to obediently pass the ball to Howard, and the first offense was really in Howard's hands.

Howard's offensive methods were really clumsy, hitting Okafor twice without hitting it, turning over was a throw, without any technical level, smashing into the basket and bounced out.

Miss!

"See, see, that high school student's shot shot is like throwing a shot put." Barkley exclaimed.

"Hey, Charles, why are you talking so much for that Michael guy this time?" Mark Jackson was puzzled by Barkley's notoriously loving and Jordan raising the bar.

"Mark, don't you know? Howard said his idol was O'Neal. Kenny Smith said 'quietly'.

"No wonder hahaha......"

Okafor interferes very well, and although his explosive bounce is far inferior to that of his opponent, his static strength and broad body are far superior to Howard's small center.

Okafor's big body blocked Howard, who was a little thin with bounce and explosiveness, and Ye Han easily grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Blevin Knight without stopping.

Counterattack!

Okafor's down!

Orkafor would never do that, he would stick to the basket and only move forward when the fast break was interrupted.

That's not to say that Okafor is physically inferior, he's top-notch in terms of speed, power, and bounce among most interior players, just a gap to a beast like Howard, who can be elected the top pick purely by his body.

Blevin Knight and Ye Han deliberately reduced the speed of the counterattack, and the Magic group except for Howard and the old cat Mobley, the others were really slow to defend.

Bobcats 5 to 2 in the frontcourt!

Blevin Knight burst into the inside line and pretended to pass to Ye Han, Howard and Mobley on the opposite side hurriedly went to cover Ye Han, Ye Han's dunk has become popular all over the world in just over a month.

But Brevin Knight took the ball back and passed it to him!

Okafor catches the ball with a two-handed dunk to give the Bobcats the lead.

Okafor let out a roar after the dunk, and the fans at the scene were instantly ignited.

Many fans held up signs that read "We only have the No. 1 show here" and cheered loudly.

A hint of loss flashed through Howard's heart, and now everywhere he goes, people say that he doesn't deserve the title of champion, even at home.

But then Howard remembered what his assistant coach, Patrick Ewing, had told him, that everything can be worked out, except for physical talent. He's an optimist, he's a big believer, he's training hard every day, and he's sure the future will pay off.

Thinking of this, Howard was happy again, and he liked to play happily.

The guy laughed again. Ye Han frowned when he saw Howard's bright smiling face, this is the opponent that Okafor is bent on defeating?

Magic offense, now Magic's head coach Johnny Davis, his only task is to develop Howard, and there are no hard requirements for teams with a record or anything. He did the same thing, trying his best to train Howard, but the way he cultivated seemed to be a bit hilarious.

An eighteen-year-old kid who obviously has no offense, defense and rebounding is okay, insists that he practice singles on the court.

In the end, Howard was killed by the opponent with a meat shield every game.

Nurturing a rookie is about building on his strengths and strengthening his weaknesses. You let him go straight to the court with what he is not good at, if it weren't for Howard's optimism, he would have been beaten into Kwame Brown a long time ago, where is he still like now, he can't shoot desperately to grab rebounds, and he doesn't shoot desperately to defend.

No, Howard forced Okafor and didn't score, you must know that Okafor is a recognized precocious rookie, enough to compare with most legendary interior players when they were young, Howard is not Okafor's opponent on both offensive and defensive ends now.

It's like having a quasi-first-class professional player one-on-one with the best high school student, even if this high school student is a genius, he will not be a professional player now.

However, Howard's physical fitness is really good! The second bounce of all the interior lines in the entire league probably can't find a stronger one than him, he landed first, and jumped up to grab the offensive rebound when Okafor hadn't fully landed!

"Charles, do you see, such a great secondary offensive ability, Howard's nose for rebounding is so good, I just appreciate that." Kenny Smith listened to Barkley count Howard for a long time, and was finally able to refute it, even if he didn't like Howard that much, but the live broadcast needs an atmosphere, and it is better to have two commentators opposing each other than bragging about it together.

"Offensive rebounding? With his body-based blind robbery, he couldn't get a single rebound if he was me. Barkley quipped.

"yes, no one can squeeze your big ass out of the ......"

Barkley's rebounding Kenny Smith still has no doubts, after all, he is the one who has grabbed the rebounding king on the heads of Olajuwon, Karl Malone, Moses Malone, and a short rebounding monster who averaged 11.7 rebounds per game in his career, Howard has not had a game with more than 15 rebounds now.

The game continues, and the Bobcats attack.

Okafor has a good relationship with everyone on the team, knowing that he wants to prove that he is better than the high school student opposite, and is willing to play for him, Gerald Wallace did not shoot after getting an open shot, but attracted Howard's attention and hung to Okafor, who scored an empty dunk.

The Magic's defense was too bad, Francis's first line of defense was useless, and Blevine Knight easily got inside and easily drew Cato away to break down that fragile defense.
