Soon, the time came to November 9th, the game between the Magic and the Knicks was about to begin, and the showdown between Chen Jiyuan and Howard was about to begin

Before the game started, Howard found Chen Jiyuan and said to him with a smile: "Chen, how is it, have you watched my game these days?" I'm better offensively than I was last season, and I'm going to blow you up this time."

Chen Jiyuan and Howard bumped fists, and said with a smile: "Then let me wait and see, I'm looking forward to it."

In the pre-game warm-up, Chen Jiyuan tried to shoot two three-pointers, but the effect was not very good Chen Jiyuan's large two-point is very good, and it can even be said that Chen Jiyuan's large two-point is not too top, however, it is such a step away, after the three-point line, Chen Jiyuan's shooting rate is a straight line down, in the process of the official game, Chen Jiyuan has never shot three points, of course, once Chen Jiyuan shot a half-court three-point shot, that doesn't count, that's because the time is about to end, Chen Jiyuan just threw it away, but it was precisely because of this three-point shot that Chen Jiyuan's three-point shooting rate last season was 100%

Chen Jiyuan has been trying to find a way to develop his three-point ability, although according to common sense, the center should be on the inside, but if Chen Jiyuan can pull the opponent's inside players out of the three-point line, then it is simply cool for the breakthrough players on their own side However, Chen Jiyuan's ability in three-point has not made any progress, and it is also because Chen Jiyuan has less time to practice three-point, after all, now Chen Jiyuan must insist on the practice of middle distance and hook hand every day Once put down, Chen Jiyuan was worried that there would be a problem, and in this case, it would be difficult for Chen Jiyuan to have a lot of time to practice three points

As for Howard, let alone three-point ability, he can practice his mid-range first

The game is about to start and players from both sides are on the pitch

Magic's Formula: Dwight Howard, Jamil Nelson, Siddo Turkoglou, Rashad Lewis and Keith Bogans

The Knicks are still Chen, Chandler, Starkey, Richardson and David Lee

For today's game, ESPN sent Kenny Smith and Barkley to commentate

With the referee's whistle, the ball flew into the air, and when he jumped the ball, Howard jumped a little better than Chen Jiyuan, so Howard dialed the ball to Nelson

Nelson slowly pushed forward with the ball Howard quickly carried out Luo Wei in the low post, once Howard left the three-meter even, then the threat is basically negligible, now Howard even on the inside, once he encounters a strong or tall opponent, he will often be very uncomfortable by the opponent's defense, however, Howard can also defend any interior player uncomfortable, Howard's defensive range covers the entire three-point line

Chen Jiyuan Xun stood by Howard's side, withstood Howard, and did not let him continue to go deep inside, but this first ball did not let Howard play, but Nelson and Lewis's blocking, and then Lewis quickly exited the three-point line, Nelson attracted attention, passed the ball to Lewis, Lewis received the ball after the quick three-point shot, David Lee's supplementary defense was too late, and could only watch Lewis shoot three points, and this three-point shot also entered the net Magic started 0:3

Lewis's height is 2.08 meters As a big forward, Lewis rarely enters the interior, this is because Lewis's weight is too thin relative to his height, which limits the possibility of Lewis's development on the interior However, Lewis is a very good team player, very quiet on and off the court, very elegant, and a very good team player, but the contract signed this year is indeed too large, which pushed him to the cusp, but it is not Lewis's fault, on the one hand, Lewis's agent NB, on the other hand, the management of the Magic SB, these two Bs got together, and there was the tenth brother in NBA history to have a 100 million yuan contract

Lewis didn't have any bells and whistles to celebrate after hitting the three-pointer, just quietly ran back and prepared to defend

When the Knicks attacked, Starkey took the ball, and in the process of advancing, Nelson kept looking for opportunities to break the ball, but although Starkey was just a show, it was not a very green show, although it was only three games, but the trust of teammates and the head coach had allowed Starkey to completely let go and play

Finally, after a gambling steal from Nelson, Starkey passed by Nelson's side and rushed in towards the inside, and Howard saw Starkey, and quickly turned around, ready to give Starkey an impressive big hat at any time, so that Starkey knew why the flowers were so red

However, Starkey did not give Howard this opportunity, because after attracting Bogans's help defense, Starkey quickly divided the ball out of the three-point line and passed it to Richardson, Richardson seemed to copy Lewis's movements, catching, jumping, and three-point shots, the only difference was that Lewis's three-point shot scored, while Richardson's three-point shot did not score

Howard didn't give Chen Jiyuan a chance to grab a rebound in the front court, but Chen Jiyuan still pulled the ball to the other side of the basket, and David Lee had been waiting on the other side for 800 years

Howard didn't play much singles in the first quarter of the game, and it was Lewis's shots that were more important, because David Lee was not used to following outside the three-point line, which gave Lewis a lot of opportunities, and Lewis's breakthrough was also very practical, without any fancy moves, and Lewis was still more flexible than David Lee in terms of foot movement

On the Knicks' side, Chen Jiyuan singled Howard many times, although it seems to be a very, very stupid choice to single Howard, but when Chen Jiyuan came to feel it, I don't care if you are the seventh aunt or the eighth aunt

At the end of the first quarter, Chen Jiyuan himself was 7 of 10 and scored 16 points, and the Knicks scored 22 points when the score on the court was 22 at the end of the first quarter, and the most Magic scored Lewis, Lewis hit 3 three-pointers in the first quarter and scored 12 points. And Turkoglu and Nelson also have a good table, only Howard only got a pitiful 1 point, which is still a free throw, and it seems that Howard lost in this match with Chen Jiyuan, but Howard knows that this is all a tactical need, although Howard is also very angry, Howard is also very concerned about winning and losing, he doesn't want to hear those fans shouting something, you have been beaten by "Apple King", go back to Orlando or something

In fact, the Magic started to play a lot of times, but today because he was facing Chen Jiyuan, he changed his tactics, and Milicic gave Howard a proposal for Howard, and let Howard and Stan Van Gundy say that they would play outside first in the first quarter

When the second quarter of the game began, both sides changed to the bench, and Howard sat on the bench with no smile on his face, and three big words "unhappy" were clearly written on his face

Howard said to Milicic: "Why do you want to play on the outside first, I can play Chen, I'm very confident in myself now, and now I'm embarrassed."

Milicic is very clever and will not mention those meaningless constructions, which is why Howard is obviously reluctant to do this, but still listens to Milicic's construction

Milicic observed Chen Jiyuan's shooting before, and in just a few days, he found things that Chen Jiyuan didn't find, of course, there are also reasons why the authorities are confused and the bystanders are clear

After Milicic and Howard left the place where Chen Jiyuan trained, they found a very quiet place to train, and Milicic told Howard why Chen Jiyuan practiced the middle distance so effectively

According to Milicic, when Chen Jiyuan practiced the middle distance, he would have a small movement before each shot, turning his wrist in a circle, which looked very inconspicuous, but Milicic was thinking about what Howard said before, why is Chen Jiyuan so strong, but he can have such a soft touch? Milicic was actually thinking about this problem at first, but then after Milicic saw Chen Jiyuan's movements, he boldly thought, when Chen Jiyuan made a move, he didn't use his arm strength to completely rely on his wrist and fingers to exert his strength, Milicic was just guessing before, after all, it sounds very difficult to do such a thing, not to mention that I heard that Chen Jiyuan suddenly started playing basketball when he was still in college. will do such a thing that is unlikely in terms of basketball player mobilization Chen Jiyuan may really only use his wrists and fingers to exert force, Milicic asked Howard to try to practice according to his own conjecture, and it had no effect in the early stage, but the further he went, the more Howard felt that Milicic's conjecture was very possible, because Howard was really effective

In fact, Chen Jiyuan himself didn't know, maybe this was just Chen Jiyuan's instinctive reaction after changing his body, Chen Jiyuan did only use the strength of his wrist and fingers when shooting, and practiced hook hands and middle distance every day, and gradually Chen Jiyuan didn't find it, but he just felt that this feeling was very good, so he shot like this-
