Chapter 229: Chopping Huo

Howard is not omnipotent, although he is called Superman, he does not really have three heads and six arms, and cannot guarantee that a game will not let people score under the basket, a few days ago against the Lakers, he did not defend his restricted area, was captured by the twin towers, ended in a miserable defeat, and was dunked by the boss.

Zhang Yu's difficulty in hitting the basket today is related to the Knicks' weak interior line.

If the Knicks, like the Lakers, have an interior player with excellent offensive power, Howard won't have as much energy to supplement the perimeter players.

This is Zhang Yu's 29th point, and with three minutes left in the game, 30+ should not be a problem.

Magic serves, Nate. Robinson rushed directly at Howard, slapped a pair of big hands at the monster, and Howard jumped up directly in pain.

The New York fans all laughed, only Big Van Gundy's face darkened and he had a bad premonition.

This is the third foul of Little Potato, he still has three rounds of ammunition, Crawford is also three fouls, the two of them together are enough to fill a revolver, I don't believe that this Howard can be killed.

Howard walked to the free throw line with a tragic momentum of rushing to the execution court and hit one of two free throws.

The score was 94:94, with 2 minutes and 58 seconds left, and the two teams were tied.

Zhang Yu personally dribbled the ball and quickly dribbled to the front court.

Petrus defended Zhang Yu almost the whole game today, but the effect was not good, but Big Van Gundy had no more suitable candidate except for him, and others would be abused more ruthlessly.

Zhang Yu advanced to the front court, and without waiting for his teammates to settle down, he broke through directly to the basket.

Howard concentrated this time, and Zhang Yu did not force a layup. The dribble came out from the other side and distributed the ball to Nate Robinson at the top of the arc.

Potato was in excellent shape today, so Mustache used an unconventional lineup. Put him on the pitch in the last moments.

Nate. Robinson received a pass from Zhang Yu, shook Alston with a shooting feint, and broke through to the free throw line for a pull-up jumper to score the crucial shot.

The score was 94-96, and the Knicks led by two points.

Big Van Gundy wanted to call a timeout to replace Howard, but Warcraft, as the core of the team, was originally enough to aggrieved people offensively. Now that he is replaced at a critical moment, it is conceivable that Howard's transfer request will be on the manager's table the next day. How can anyone be so bullied?

So this time the fouler was replaced by Crawford, and he slapped him hard, but this time it hit Howard on the ass.

Howard will be smart and hide his hand. Otherwise, they will be beaten in the hand. The free throws, which were already inaccurate, were even more unwatchable.

The monster rushed to the execution ground again, aiming and aiming at the free throw line.

New York fans kept distracting his vision with "cheerleading sticks", coupled with the expletives of the fans, so that Howard, who shot less than 60% of his free throw shots, was not even half of his shooting rate at the moment.

"Bang", "Bang"!

This time, Howard didn't even make two free throws, and the morale of the entire Magic team dropped.

The Knicks serve quickly and launch a fast break.

The "chop" tactic could only be used until the last two minutes ago, and now there is still half a minute. So hurry up.

The Knicks' interior on the court has been replaced by David Lee and Kenyon Martin, both of whom are five fouls. But neither of them cares, there are still four birdmen Anderson on the court who can step up, and they will be out of the game after graduation.

David Lee pulled down the flank mid-range and wanted to lure Howard out, but the Magic team had already had a way to deal with it, and they immediately traded Lewis to guard David Lee on the defensive end, and the Monsters just stayed in the restricted area and couldn't live or die.

Today, the Knicks only have David Lee who can shoot the mid-range inside, and if there is another one who knocks Howardra down outside the restricted area, Zhang Yu and a group of outside players will have a chance to break through.

It's a pity that Kenyon Martin and Anderson are unreliable in the middle distance, and they are not attractive at all.

Zhang Yu relied on David Lee's cover this time to reach the three-point line, and used a high-post jumper that was rarely used today, and hit a strong shot on Turkogru's defense.

With a score of 94:98, the Magic immediately called a timeout, and now the shape is very bad.

"Coach, I'll be on in two minutes." Howard looked aggrieved, and at this time he took the initiative to ask to get off the field.

Big Van Gundy was very relieved to hear this, and without saying a word, he immediately agreed.

Charles. Barkley kept laughing at Howard's free throws in the live broadcast room, and said directly after the timeout: "Kenny, have you ever seen anyone worse than Howard's free throws?" The old ass burst out laughing.

Kenny. Smith knew that this guy would never let go of any opportunity to laugh at O'Neal if he had a chance, and said very cooperatively: "There's a shark I want to fight Superman." ”

Both of them then laughed maliciously, these two guys are not good things, otherwise how could they explain together for so long.

With 2:38 left on the game and both teams back on the court, Knicks players and fans alike found their foul targets on the bench at the moment.

D'Antoni smiled, this kind of result was expected by him, Howard was not on the court, and the Knicks could easily rush inside.

The Magic team attacked first, and without Howard, they broke an arm, and the offense in the three-second zone was paralyzed, and the Polish Hammers had no offensive ability at the moment and could not make up for the gap in Howard's absence.

Zhang Yu continued to defend Tekoglu, it was the last moment of the game, it didn't hurt to make a big defensive move, the referee generally wouldn't blow it, not to mention that this was their home field.

After Tekoglu received the ball, the pressure increased dramatically, and it was even difficult to control the ball, he did not dare to hold the ball more, and quickly handed the ball over.

Alston catches the ball and it is Nate who defends him. Robinson.

Little Potato did not choose to break the ball, although Alston is only an inconspicuous player in the NBA, but there is one skill that he is at the top in the NBA, and that is ball control.

Want to break the ball off Alstom? It's about the same as Howard's odds of hitting all 10 free throws.

Alstomb the ball to find space for passing, but looking at it, the Magic players are being targeted by their respective defenders at the moment, and he can use his height of nearly 20cm taller than Little Potato to find scoring opportunities.

Yes, he is indeed 15cm taller than a small potato. Although Alstom also falsely reported his height, the official height is 188cm, but his real height is actually around 185cm. But the latter is even more frustrated. Nate Robinson is officially 175cm tall, but Zhang Yu knows that this guy is only 168cm at all, not even 170cm.

Alston used his jumping crotch dribble to get a shot space and immediately started shooting the basketball.

The little potato was not completely shaken away, but the height disadvantage made him feel sorry for this ball. Even if he can jump more than a meter high, it takes time to jump, wait for him to jump. The basketball has long since flown away.

Alston still has the ability, and this shot hit steadily and scored two points for the Magic.

The score was 96:98, and the game was about to enter the last two minutes. Howard was already on the sidelines. Get ready to get back on the field.

Little Potato dribbled, according to the mustache's request, the Knicks began to press the rhythm, and when they arrived in the frontcourt, Nate Robinson immediately handed the basketball to Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu defended against Petrus, who was no threat to him at all, and the Magic used a misplaced defense.

For this ball, Zhang Yu signaled that he wanted to play singles. Petrus hurriedly stepped back a little to prevent being easily passed.

The Magic team still hasn't figured out Zhang Yu's shameless Cheng dΓΉ. Sometimes his single gesture is completely for the opponent to see, and his teammates completely ignore this gesture, and David Lee directly brings it up to cover.

Petrus felt like he had hit a wall, and he thought to himself, "Didn't you say it's good to play singles?" ”

Zhang Yu accelerated to start, and with the cover of David Lee, he easily passed the shaken Petrus, and then faced Lewis's single defense, he immediately distributed the ball to Kenyon. Martin hand.

Petrus shouted in his heart: "Didn't you say that it was good to play singles? ”

Kenyon. Martin didn't dunk much today, now the monster is not there, the young Polish Hammers are still immature regardless of their position, and their defensive awareness is still immature, Martin rushed to the basket with two big strides with the basket, and slammed the Magic team's basket with a heavy dunk with both hands.

The Magic immediately called a 20-second timeout after this offense, and the time had come to the final 1:58, the foul tactics had failed, and Howard was available to play again.

Twenty seconds passed quickly, and the game resumed.

Howard was on the inside to get in place, and Alston immediately passed the ball over.

"Smack!"

Howard had just gotten the basketball, and David Lee slapped his hand directly, and suddenly the hand of the monster was numb again.

The New York fans laughed again, and Howard thought that he would not be deliberately fouled again in the last two minutes, but things turned out to be his surprise, and David Lee received his sixth foul directly and was sent off without even blinking an eye.

Birdman Anderson was on top, and Howard continued to stand to the free throw line, and he felt terrible.

Rubbing his numb right hand, no matter how good Howard's temper is, he also wants to swear, how can he be so bullying?

The first goal "clanged", and as expected, in the interference of the New York fans, the poor monster once again missed the penalty.

Zhang Yu clapped his hands, didn't know who he was talking about, and said: "19 free throws and 8 hits, what is the hit rate?" ”

Kenyon Martin replied, "Definitely less than 50 percent." ”

Howard's face darkened, and the second free throw basket hit the iron again, and a black face could even be seen red.

The score was still 96-100, and the Magic missed out on a crucial offense.

The next time the Knicks attacked, Zhang Yu played his killer nature, and directly made a three-point step back from the outside, expanding the score gap to 7 points, and the Magic team was gone.

However, the Knicks seem to be addicted to "chopping Huo", obviously they already have a 7-point lead, the next time the Magic team attacks, the Knicks actually sent Howard to the free throw line again, the Monster hit one of two free throws, got one point, and Kenyon Martin also graduated with honor.

New York then began to stall for time and did not give the Magic a chance to chase points, and the final score was 99-103, and the Knicks defeated the Magic by four points to win four consecutive away games.

Zhang Yu won the "Player of the Match" award, playing 36 minutes and scoring 35 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals. (To be continued......)
