Chapter 162: Overlord Under the Basket

> Howard turns on scoring mode, and then comes the moment when the Warriors' "chopping tactics" arrive!

Howard's disastrous free-throw shooting rate gave other teams the opportunity to implement the "Chop Hock Tactic"! Howard's free throw percentage didn't exceed 60 percent, and in some games, he made nearly 20 free throws in a game, and this guy only hit four or five free throws, and for the Lakers, isn't such a free throw percentage a disaster?

The Warriors' Lin Fei is off the court, and the offensive end is naturally commanded by Curry, Curry can't break through, and with the help of the opportunity of the interior player's high-level blocking, he will shoot directly! Missed! Curry's style of play is obviously the same as Lin Fei, but he doesn't have Lin Fei's super personal ability, so this goal didn't go in!

The Lakers attacked, and the ball was given to Kobe. 彩@hong文¥学%NetNash is not on the court, Kobe Bryant will drag the ball in his own hands, Blake is purely a "pseudo-point guard" on the court, his role is to push the ball to the front court, and then hand it to Kobe, maybe he can wait for Kobe's pass on the outside, and then shoot three points!

Kobe Bryant faces Curry on the outside, he definitely has the ability to pull out, but in terms of shooting percentage, it is obviously not as high as his attack on the inside! So Kobe Bryant hit inside, at this time Howard turned around, opened the basket and occupied a favorable position under the basket again, Kobe Bryant was quick and threw the ball directly to the basket, no one knew whether Kobe was passing the ball or a throw, but from his casual extent, it was a pass!

Howard naturally understands Kobe's ball, sees the right time to jump, and when the basketball is almost on the hoop, Howard also happens to reach the highest point. At this time, the Warriors players jumped up, almost a head shorter than Howard, and Howard had an absolute advantage. Getting the ball is a no-brainer, and what Howard needs is to score! He barely pauses in the air, and after catching the ball, he directly exerts force with both hands at the same time. Smash the ball straight into the basket!

The audience is boiling! Monster's dunk!

The basket is still crumbling! Howard didn't fall right away after the dunk, he grabbed the basket and turned around. Look at all the Warriors players with a look of contempt! It's like saying, I'm going to wreak havoc on the basket, and none of you can stop me!

Howard definitely has the strength! Thinking about his time with the Magic might be enough to see his dominance on the court! At that time, the Magic team used a style of play that even had Howard on the inside. Then equipped with four outside shooters, this style of play is obviously to fancy Howard's interior dominance!

There was a statistic in the league that analyzed the dominance of the court. Dominance: This is definitely a complex concept! Dominance is definitely more than just scoring, rebounding, assists. The combination of these simple data of the cap, what he needs to express is the deterrent power of a player on the court, and the effect on the team! The final conclusion in the league is that there are only three people in the league who can be called dominant, the first is Lin Fei, the second is James, and the third is Howard! Howard is even ahead of many recognized superstars, such as Durant. Ross!

But. Howard doesn't seem to show the concept of dominance on the Lakers, at best, a quasi-dominant-level player! Maybe it's because of Kobe Bryant and Nash, which weakens his dominance!

Howard's aerial relay, the Warriors obviously don't have any way to defend. The Warriors' original idea was to keep Howard out of that area. Obviously, no one on the Warriors can get into the area under the basket without Howard! Super strength, not to mention Clauderson. Even putting Clauderson and Cook together may not be able to stop it! In case Howard catches the ball. The Warriors immediately fouled Howard and sent Howard to the free throw line! However, there is no way to do it for the Howard Air Relay! And Howard's amazing explosiveness can almost make the Lakers' outside passers not have to care about anything, just throw the ball above the basket! …,

Howard was still proud of the basket, and the Warriors immediately launched another offense. The play was unexpected, Smith and Curry crossed and cooperated, three times five divided by two directly to the frontcourt, Kobe and Blake have quickly retreated to the backcourt, but at this time Curry and Smith are very fast, directly passing by, the two went straight to the basket at the same time, the ball was in Curry's hands, at this time Howard came down from the basket, and was still on the way back, the Lakers inside line was naturally empty, and the level was Howard under the basket, The Warriors' speed can also be completely offensive when Howard is not on his feet!

Kobe Bryant is aiming for timing, and all he needs now is hot pot. However, he couldn't decide for a moment whose hands he would end up with! Curry is indomitable, running directly to the basket, a basket, Kobe Bryant is directly behind him, planning to chase the big hat, looking at Kobe's speed, you can conclude that this guy is indeed out of the way, his running speed, jumping, easy to get injured, however, Curry is also a quasi-first-class guard, he can feel the wind behind Kobe, instantly change the direction of his layup, knock the ball back, and directly give it to Smith who followed up! Smith directly laughed at this beautiful pass, facing Kobe's back, holding the ball with both hands, which was directly a violent dunk!

Speed! Lin Fei is not on the court, the Warriors can still run wildly for a long time, the two speed point guards cooperate, it is difficult for a team to defend, just Smith and Curry cooperate well, and the attack power is even no less than Lin Fei!

The wonderful dunk made the Warriors extremely excited all of a sudden, but at this time, Kobe Bryant seemed to have changed a little!

Kobe Bryant took the ball directly in the backcourt and quickly dribbled to the frontcourt, and at this time it was Curry's defense! At this time, Kobe Bryant was obviously different from just now, and he directly pulled out the jump shot!

"Whew" three-point hit!

Kobe Bryant said that he is the kind of player who belongs to the racing type! Look at Kobe's way of playing, this is called Biao Score! Of course, Kobe Bryant is obviously a smarter type of player, he knows what his shooting percentage is, and he also knows that Nash is not on the court at this time, and he has the right to fire infinitely, and at the same time take a step back and say, even if he can't shoot, the Lakers still have Howard under the basket at this time, didn't Howard say that Kobe Bryant just let go of the shot? Under the basket is his world!

After Kobe Bryant's shot went in, Howard was smart this time, and before the Warriors kicked off, he quickly returned to defense!

The Warriors picked up the ball and launched a speedy offense again, but by this time the Lakers were clearly ready. Intercept successfully directly in the backfield, and the fast attack can't be successful, so you can only organize the half-court into the public well!

Curry's arc top. When the Warriors are involved in the offense, they are basically fully involved, the players are running around the court, and Howard is not moving much under the basket!

Cook came up to block the demolition. Curry took advantage of the situation, Kobe Bryant quickly came over to make up for the defense, and the two had a physical contact, Curry obviously suffered a loss and collided for a while. Obviously, he felt that his momentum was unlikely to reach the basket, and Curry could only pass the ball to Smith!

Smith received the ball, Kobe Bryant was not in front of him at all, this time is his great opportunity! A stride, straight to the basket, Smith was originally defended by Kobe, and he was a little out of position in order to make up for Curry. But it's not very far. In addition, Smith had to go to the basket, and Kobe Bryant was in the right position, so he naturally blocked it halfway, but Smith was extremely fast, and he changed direction and flashed Kobe Bryant in the defense. Keep running to the basket! At this time, the Lakers' basket is relatively empty, and Smith is basically confident. Straight and easy to pick the basket, such an action. Smith couldn't be more familiar! This is clearly a cricket! …,

Looking at the momentum of the ball, it's basically going to go in! But just as the ball was about to touch the rebound, a large figure suddenly flew by next to the basket, and it seemed like an eagle swooping down. A big hand, slapping the basketball!

The "pop" sound is extremely loud!

The ball flew straight to the audience!

There is little doubt that such a cap is almost Howard's signature cap! With a huge body and amazing explosive power, it just occupies the right position!

Such a block detonated the court again! Smith smiled awkwardly! It's like breaking a five-flavor bottle!

D'Antoni seems to have forgotten one point, that is, Smith is different from Lin Fei and Curry, he is a breakthrough guard, and his offensive means are mainly close to the basket attack, and this happens to be the focus of the Lakers' defense, especially Howard, who is completely the Lakers' interior defensive barrier, who wants to go to the basket, the last hurdle, must be Howard's five fingers!

Now Smith is basically the sixth man of the Warriors! It can be said that he is one of the more important role players of the Warriors! He can't lose his attack!

Although Howard's block is very domineering and morale-boosting, it does not change the ownership of the ball, because Howard's block directly fanned the ball to the audience, so the ball is still in the hands of the Warriors!

Warriors frontcourt ball! Smith tees off.

The Warriors are still running wildly, leaving the Lakers scratching their heads! It just so happened that Cook got an open shot opportunity at this time, Smith quickly passed the ball to, and Cook, who received the ball, was three steps away from the basket, and basically jumped directly, but he found that Howard was facing back to him, how could he miss such an opportunity? Cook dribbled the ball, got up directly, took the ball with both hands, and planned to dunk it violently!

The audience held their breath! Cook's dunk? Cook is also amazingly explosive, although there is still a considerable distance from Howard, but his dunks are never lacking in ornamentation!

However, when Cook was still 30 centimeters away from the basket, Howard actually jumped, but this time, he was sideways, not in a good position, and he jumped! I want to block the ball in Cook's hand with one hand!

Cook was already in the air at this point! The momentum simply can't be stopped! Although he saw that Howard had also jumped, Curry still had a fluke mentality, and directly wanted to forcibly dunk through Howard's hand!

A dunk across Howard? It's not impossible! There have been many people in the league who have dunked through Howard, Kobe Bryant, Ginobili have done it!

Now Cook is going to put on a good show again through the Warcraft?

In order to stabilize the ball in his hand, Cook increased the strength of his wrist to hold the ball! Just in case Howard touches the ball.

Cook wasn't a fool either, he was in the air, even with a slight change of direction, after all, it was better to be able to dodge Howard!

However, just as Cook was getting closer and closer to the basket, Howard jumped up and pushed the ball straight up!

This Cook was clearly not expected! What he wanted was that Howard's block was facing himself, and he forced it through with the power of both hands, but at this time, Howard went up and directly let his ball get out of his hand!

Howard is undoubtedly very risky to do this, because it is easy to foul!

The ball flies straight into the sky! Cook moved forward with great momentum, grabbing the basket with both hands. But now the ball is no longer in his hand!

Since the ball flew into the air, the center of gravity of the two teams was naturally this rebound!

Although Cook was capped, he was clearly still unwilling. Although he grabbed the basket with both hands, he didn't stop at all, and he jumped up again when he landed, intending to grab the rebound! …,

Cook's bullet speed is still quite fast! But. Just when Cook was about to catch the ball again, a huge figure appeared in front of him!

Or Howard? Not bad!

Cook's fingertips had just touched the ball, and Howard's hands had arrived! Naturally, Howard took the ball into his arms directly!

All of a sudden, Cook is really disgraced! It just doesn't seem to be going well today, how can there be Howard everywhere! Is Howard on the bar with himself today?

Howard grabbed the rebound. With an innocent smile on his face, he was quite bright, obviously he was quite satisfied with his block and this rebound!

Howard hugged the ball in his arms slightly! Obviously, he wants to enjoy this wonderful feeling! After that, he passed the ball directly to Kobe!

Kobe Bryant launched directly and went straight to the frontcourt! Stopped at the three-point line though! Although the Warriors have quickly returned to defense, the defensive position is obviously still not!

But why didn't Kobe just pull out the jump shot? After all, the opportunity at this time is still relatively good. At least Curry is just in the exact position he booked. It is simply impossible to interfere with Kobe Bryant in the slightest!

Why did Kobe Bryant do this? Maybe it's just because of one point, that is to say that Howard is not in place! The Lakers are obviously Kobe Bryant's team, but no one can ignore Howard's existence! Howard is here, and the Lakers' rebounds have a layer of security!

Howard slowly swallowed to the basket, turned his back to the basket, and prepared to catch the ball!

Although that Howard was prepared to catch the ball. But that doesn't mean the Lakers will pass him the ball! After all, as soon as he received the ball. The Warriors would have fouled, and Howard's free throws were so bad!

Howard had just taken his place. Kobe Bryant launched and broke through Curry, he didn't even need someone to block him, he just carried Curry to the basket! Curry can't stop it at all, Kobe's use of his body is quite good! When he was about to reach the collision zone, Bryant made a sharp stop, turned around, and then shot with his left hand!

Another hit! Kobe Bryant is still so aggressive, the Warriors can't stop it at all!

Things are getting worse for the Warriors! Kobe Bryant is getting more and more aggressive, and that's it, after all, Kobe is not the kind of player with a surprisingly high shooting percentage, but they are quite guaranteed under rebounding! When the Lakers couldn't shoot, Howard was able to grab the rebound easily! Give the Lakers a second chance to attack! Whether it is offensive rebounding or defensive rebounding, the Warriors are almost at an absolute disadvantage! Although the Warriors' shooting percentage is not inferior to the Lakers, the number of offenses was directly pulled down a street by the Lakers!

Behind the crazy game, there are crazy statistics! Howard scored 8 points, 10 rebounds and 4 blocks in the entire first quarter of the game, completely dominating the basket, which can be called a crazy overlord under the basket. Of course, this may also have something to do with the fast speed of the Warriors' offense! But getting 10 rebounds in a single quarter, no matter how you look at it, it's not easy!

After the first quarter of the game, the Warriors fell behind by 10 points! In the first quarter of the game alone, the Warriors grabbed 9 fewer rebounds and had 9 fewer offensive opportunities than the Lakers, and it was these 9 offenses that directly made them 10 points behind!

Now the Warriors' hope of victory may only be pinned on their high shooting percentage, and the Warriors have also hit 60% of the shooting rate, which is originally quite good, but their opponent is the Lakers with such a strong interior line!

Lin Fei didn't play after playing half a quarter of the game, and the score he got was still 12 points, while Kobe Bryant played the whole quarter and scored 16 points, overpowering Lin Fei! And Nash, another giant of the Lakers, has limited playing time, but he still contributed 8 points and 6 assists, which is also quite good! But the discerning person knows at a glance that it is clear that this is not the last case! 16 points in a single quarter for Kobe, 8 points and 6 assists in a single quarter for Nash, may already be quite good, but 12 points in a single quarter, for Lin Fei, is obviously stuffed between his teeth, and it is still far from his appetite!

Is the Warriors going to be so passive all the time?

D'Antoni clearly doesn't want that to happen!

He began to review a few details of the game! Suddenly, it occurred to me that the Warriors' first offense was Lin Fei's shot, but it didn't hit, it seemed that Curry grabbed the rebound, and it was still an offensive rebound!

"Offensive rebounds!" D'Antoni muttered slightly!

The Lakers' slow-paced offense is obviously quite good for them to grab rebounds, so should they still speed up the Warriors' offense? After all, the faster you go, the better it is for grabbing rebounds! However, now the question arises again, the Warriors are already quite fast, how can they speed up? (To be continued......)
