Chapter 424: The Battle with Howard
The duel between Chen Jiyuan and Howard is definitely a drama that all fans like, not only because of the duel between the teams of two people, but also because of the offensive battle between the two people, although we all know that Chen Jiyuan's offensive vitality is absolutely the only one in the league, but in the face of Howard, the best defensive player in the league, what Chen Jiyuan can do is what people expect and what people want to know.
After Howard was hit by Chen Jiyuan for consecutive singles, he was not to be outdone after receiving the ball to single Chen Jiyuan again, this time Howard did not score, because Chen Jiyuan stuck to Howard this time, Howard did not have a good chance to catch the ball, Howard who couldn't catch the ball, how to single Chen Jiyuan, after the Magic, this ball was shot by Lewis A three-point shot, but it can be seen that Kim Tae-nian Lewis's hand is not very good, this three-point shot is out again, counting the previous one, until now, Lewis was already 0-of-5 shooting. Three of them made three-pointers, all of which missed. This situation often puts a person into a situation where they dare not make a move, of course, although most players will feel frustrated by this, but there are also people who will not feel any wavering because of this situation, such as Kobe.
Kobe Bryant once said a more controversial remark, that is, in a certain game, Deron Williams shot 0 of 9, which was "highly praised" by Kobe, and Kobe Bryant commented on Delon It probably meant that Delon had lost his confidence in shooting, so he could not shoot. I'd rather shoot 0 out of 30 than 0 out of 9.
Kobe's words are actually better, but Kobe's meaning is very clear, that is, Deron Williams has lost his confidence in shooting, can he still be regarded as a superstar with such a cowardice? Delong is just such a small cowardice. That's it.
was ridiculed, and Deron Williams naturally wouldn't stay quiet and not speak. Deron Williams was quick to respond to Bryant's words.
In Delon's words, Kobe Bryant, as the team's scoring guard, naturally wants to shoot more and score more points to help the team win, but as the team's point guard, I don't have to rely on scoring to help the team, I can help others, revitalize the whole team, and winning is the pursuit of all of us, which is the same pursuit of Kobe Bryant as me, but the way we help the team is different.
Delon's words are saying, Kobe Bryant, you are a scoring guard, of course, you can shoot infinitely, no matter how many times you shoot, you can get a high score, but I'm different, I'm a point guard, what I want to do is to revitalize the whole team, pass the ball to teammates when you feel bad, and give more assists is what a qualified point guard should do.
After that, this is the end of the love. This is just a small episode, but even after this small episode, you can see how paranoid Kobe Bryant is.
And Lewis is obviously not that kind of person, even if Lewis wants to be that kind of person, he obviously can't do it in the Magic, if you do this, Howard will really leave, can you still play, I haven't done this as the boss of the team, but you not only have a much higher salary than me, but then you still shoot like this, are you trying to grab my position? In that case, either Lewis is gone or Howard is gone.
Lewis's three-point shot missed, Chen Jiyuan still successfully stuck Howard, and did not let Howard grab the rebound, because this three-point shot collapsed relatively far, so Lefu and Lewis wanted to strengthen this rebound together, but Lefu's rebounding ability is not bragging, Lefu arched the rebounding point for Lewis with a butt, and he easily occupied a good position, and then successfully grabbed this rebound.
After Lefu grabbed the rebound, he gave the ball to Starkey, and Starkey quickly moved forward with the ball, but Starkey originally wanted to attack quickly, but was delayed by Courtney Lee, and Starkey, who had no choice, could only slowly do positional battles, and after Starkey passed the half court with the ball this time, he did not give the ball to Chen Jiyuan, but chose to shoot by himself, Starkey himself a quick change of direction, but the effect was not so good, because Alston was the original street ball god, The attainments of speed and dribbling action are high, so this ball Starkey is not completely past, but it doesn't matter, Starkey is carrying Als to the inside rush, and when the middle is three seconds high, Howard is ready to come out to help defend. But Starkey didn't continue to rush inside, but near the three-second zone, he carried Alston and chose a very difficult shot, but Starkey's physical confrontation is still very good, so this shot still has a good hit rate, but the problem is that Starkey's shot choice is always a hidden problem.
Alstom's physical confrontation is not good, this is an irreparable defect, but Alstom's hand movement is still very fast, and it is not very clean, this ball Alston secretly cut into Starkey's hand, but Starkey's ball flew very outrageously, so the referee immediately made a decision and immediately gave a foul.
The foul given by the referee was actually correct, but Alston still looked very innocent and quickly stepped forward and came to the referee's side to explain. The reason why Alstoms do this is very simple, if you do this, there will be such an afterimage in the referee's heart, it seems that it is really wrong, and then the next time Alstom is doing this, it is very likely that he will not be able to get the whistle, which is a good thing for Alstom.
Starkey hit two free throws safely, and although Starkey's three-point shot was not good, the free throw was not so bad. After all, it was just a two-point shot without defense, so Starkey's two free throws didn't hit all of them unexpectedly. 14:11。
The Magic attacked again, and Howard blocked Alston this time, in fact, Howard's blocking and dismantling goal rate is very high, and that's because Howard's physical element is definitely one of the most explosive people in the explosion. Once Howard gets up fast, the way to get down is to foul, otherwise, Howard will be able to dunk the ball into the basket, you know, Howard will dunk the ball into the basket more often, at this point, the current Chen Jiyuan can match Howard, but, the problem is that the reason why the impact of the two people is not deep enough is that the person who passes the ball is not so strong, in other words, the point guard is not qualified enough, whether it is the Knicks' Sessions' or the Magic's Nelson, It's not the kind of point guard who is particularly qualified to pass the ball, and if Paul cooperates with Chen Jiyuan or Howard, then the power will skyrocket. But that's all idealistic.
For this ball, Starkey and Chen Jiyuan joined forces to cut off Alstom's passing route. So Howard, who went down, didn't receive the ball, and Alston took two steps to shoot a big two-point shot himself. Although it was not a range that Alstom was certain of, the goal was scored. 14:13。
This offense of the Knicks, Chen Jiyuan received the ball near the three-point line, even if Chen Jiyuan was so far away from the basket, but Howard still did not let down his vigilance, which is also very normal, because Chen Jiyuan's range is very yuan, although Chen Jiyuan does not have the ability to shoot three-point shots, but in the place near the three-point line, Chen Jiyuan's shooting percentage still wants to be high, if you don't defend Chen Jiyuan in this place, obviously it will have to pay a certain price.
Howard put his hand in front of Chen Jiyuan, not allowing Chen Jiyuan to have a good vision, but Chen Jiyuan suddenly started the speed, and cut directly from Howard's right side to the inside, Howard's ball was a little close to Chen Jiyuan because of his defense of Chen Jiyuan's shot, and Chen Jiyuan caught the opportunity. Not enough Howard is not such a simple person to be defeated, Howard quickly came to Chen Jiyuan's side, according to this words, if Chen Jiyuan shoots, it is easy to be interfered with by Howard, even if it is a dunk, there is a risk, after all, you must know that the defender next to him is Dwight Howard, is it so simple to be dealt with? Chen Jiyuan didn't force the blue, not to mention that there were people in front of him who were preparing to cause Chen Jiyuan's offensive foul near the three-second zone on the inside.
After Chen Jiyuan rushed up, he jumped, and it seemed that he didn't want to cause a foul, so he shot a jump shot directly, and Howard quickly followed Chen Jiyuan's rhythm and was ready to block Chen Jiyuan's jump shot, but it was obvious that Chen Jiyuan had long known that Howard was by his side, so naturally he would not shoot so casually.
After jumping, Chen Jiyuan made a pass to the ground and gave the ball to Stephen Jackson who slipped to the bottom line, and after Stephen Jackson played a street ball, he directly made a backhand layup. Successfully scored two points again. Tecoglou was so focused on himself that he didn't interfere with Stephen Jackson's offense in time. 16:13
The Knicks played a wonderful match.
With the last two minutes of the first quarter remaining, the Knicks replaced Chen Jiyuan and the Magic replaced Lewis, but Howard remained on the court and Milicic was sent. Milicic is an important substitute for the Magic right now.
