Chapter 423: Duel Magic (2)
The game was remembered with the referee's whistle, and the game officially began.
Chen Jiyuan and Howard jumped the ball, and the result was that Howard mastered the timing of the jump, and the result was that Howard successfully helped the Magic team get the opportunity to attack first.
Alston moved forward with the ball, not in a hurry to attack, Alstom, as an original street ball player, is still more fancy with the ball, and at the same time, Alstom's dribbling skills are still very sure, and generally will not be stealed.
However, Alston has a fatal problem, that is, the passing problem, in terms of passing, Alston is a bit hairy, and the result is that it is difficult to give Howard a good pass, and when Howard is in the low post, it is difficult to receive a good ball from Alstom. There are even often mistakes by the Magic because of Alstom's passing problems, which is why Alston can't really replace Nelson's starter.
This ball Alston himself dribbled the ball to break inside, spit out two steps, and then passed the ball to Kutney Lee, who was waiting for an opportunity outside the three-point line, Kutney Lee as a rookie, the first season can be called the starting point guard among the top three Magic teams in the East, not all rely on luck, but also have their own efforts and strength, Kurtney Lee is still very motivated after entering the league, very hard-working.
Kurtney Lee took a three-point shot directly after receiving the ball, and Kurtney Lee's three-point shot was somewhat certain, but Crawford went directly to Kurtney Lee to defend, which still caused a certain amount of interference to Kurtney Lee, and successfully made Kuteney Lee's ball missed, and Howard and Chen Jiyuan on the inside competed for the position and wanted to grab the rebound, but the problem was that Lewis was on the outside, and Lefu was also pulled out of the interior by Lewis, which is the role of Lewis.
But in the case of Chen Jiyuan and Howard, Chen Jiyuan still successfully used the back card to master Howard, and did not give Howard a chance, Chen Jiyuan successfully protected the backcourt rebound, after taking off this rebound, Chen Jiyuan instantly glanced at the form on the court, and saw Starkey in front of him running at full speed, Chen Jiyuan made a pass with just the right strength, and threw the ball directly in front of Starkey, originally there were still people on the side of Starkey, but Chen Jiyuan passed the ball very well, It happened to pass in front of Starki, and at the same time avoided the interference of Tekoglu next to him, so that Starki received the ball and went to the basket directly, Tekoglu originally wanted to interfere, but he didn't do it, because Starki was already half a body ahead of Turkoglou, and if Turkoglu forcibly interfered, he would only foul Starki, so Turkoglu could only watch Starky successfully get these two points. 2:0。
A ball is nothing, the Magic still quickly re-served, Howard served to Alstom, Alston slowly moved forward with the ball, in fact, if it were according to Alstom's character, he would have turned on all the speed and rushed up, as a street ball player, the speed of the wind and the things that Alston pursued with the handsome and cool scum, but the problem is that Alstom's league is called NBA, and only this league can give Alston millions of dollars in wages every year, So Alstom is now also under the roof, and he has to bow his head.
After Alston slowly dribbled the ball through the half, this time Howard was entangled with Chen Jiyuan on the inside, but he didn't grab a good position, seeing that there was no chance, Alston passed the ball directly to Turkoglou, the biggest weakness of the current Magic team is that the Magic team's ball-holding offensive ability is a little weak, and in the previous life, the Magic found Carter in the next season, just to strengthen the Magic's ball-holding offensive ability, Carter is still the omnipotent super UFO, but unfortunately, the Magic's wishful thinking did not succeed, First of all, because Carter's state declined very rapidly, so that the Magic's original purpose of finding Carter was not achieved, and the Magic's forward offensive ability with the ball was still not enhanced, and even because of Tekoglu's departure, the Magic's ability to let go of the front line has declined, and Carter's physical quality has declined, which has become the main reason for Carter's decline in numbers, because the demigods are still very dependent on the body.
Although Carter's three-point shot is still relatively accurate, at least on the qualified line, the problem is that a man who can rely on his body all the year round is super godly, and suddenly his body is not as good as before, and it will still be very embarrassing, but, to be honest, even in the two years of Magic, Carter's play is not so completely stumbling, After all, he averaged 16.6 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game, although there are reasons why his body is not as good as before, but there is also a complete inadaptability to the Magic's tactical system.
But in any case, the front line is not the strong point of the Magic, and if the Magic can trade James to the Magic, it will be good, then it will basically be a championship certainty. Unfortunately, that's obviously impossible.
Now Turkoglou, as the Magic's chief ball-handling player, is slowly preparing to break through Stephen Jackson with the ball, Turkoglou's ball-handling attack is not super strong, Turkoglou's breakthrough choice is a pull-up jump shot, but with his soft touch, Turkoglu can still maintain a good shooting rate. And Sido Turkoglou's three-point shot is also very good, and the Magic's five starters except for Howard are all very good three-point shooters.
Turkoglou's ball accelerated, but Stephen Jackson did not lose his defensive position at all, Turkoglu suddenly stopped running and shot this two-point shot directly, Turkoglu is 2.08 meters tall, and the pull-up jump shot is difficult to block, although Stephen Jackson has been very timely to make up for the defense, but it is still unsuccessful, for Tekoglou's shooting, I can only pray that the ball will not go in. But apparently Stephen Jackson had recently killed, so the Buddha was not happy, and Stephen Jackson's prayer had no effect at all, and Turkoglu still managed to hit the ball. 2:2。
Soon, after testing each other with the previous balls, it finally entered the highlight that everyone was looking forward to, that is, the duel between the two centers.
Chen Jiyuan, as the starting center of the Knicks, is also the Knicks' leading scorer, in Tom Thibodeau's tactical arrangement. Chen Jiyuan's offensive ability is definitely the top priority, if there is no Chen Jiyuan's attack, then what defense Hebodeau arranges will not be able to convert into a win.
After Chen Jiyuan received the ball this time, he turned around and faced Howard, no matter who it was, facing Howard's defense, especially Howard's single-handed defense, he would not feel relaxed, even Chen Jiyuan was no exception, now Chen Jiyuan was in front of Howard, and he could also feel the defensive pressure on the opposite side, Chen Jiyuan first pretended to shoot, but Howard was not fooled at all, Chen Jiyuan raised his hand once, this time Howard thought that Chen Jiyuan was really going to shoot, and the center of gravity rose slightly, Although there was no complete jump at all, Chen Jiyuan also quickly rushed from Howard's side into the three-second zone, and rushed to Chen Jiyuan on the inside, although Howard quickly wanted to turn around and catch up with Chen Jiyuan after adjusting his center of gravity, but unfortunately, Chen Jiyuan's footsteps were not at the level of an uncle, Howard was already full of half a beat, how could he catch up, so Chen Jiyuan decisively rounded his arm on the inside line and came to a one-handed wings flying split. 10:9。
Turning around, the Magic attacked, Howard also held the ball and singled Chen Jiyuan this time, and Chen Jiyuan's defense is no longer the little white he was back then.
Chen Jiyuan observed Howard's movements attentively, Howard did not break through the basket, but chose to single Chen Jiyuan with his back, as soon as Howard leaned in, Chen Jiyuan immediately felt Howard's strength, but in the contest of strength, Chen Jiyuan was not afraid.
Howard leaned in, and then started to walk directly to the middle, Chen Jiyuan resisted Howard, not letting Howard get closer to the basket, and it was difficult for Howard to squeeze Chen Jiyuan in strength to get a chance to shoot, but Howard's current offensive ability is indeed better than in his previous life, this ball, when Howard walked to the front basket, he grabbed the ball with both hands and sent it in the direction he was going, Chen Jiyuan instinctively reacted and jumped forward, and then Howard's feet didn't move at all, and directly put his hand back, An easy, stress-free little hook sent the ball to the basket. 10:11。
After being beaten one, Chen Jiyuan is about to come back, Chen Jiyuan leaned on Howard and reached out to Starkey for the ball, Starkey is now a promising superstar, and he is a little arrogant, but even if he is a high-minded and arrogant big hand, he is not arrogant in front of Chen Jiyuan, after all, Chen Jiyuan is the boss of the Knicks. And Chen Jiyuan's strength is indeed very strong.
Starkey gave the ball to Chen Jiyuan, after Chen Jiyuan received the ball, this time he singled Howard with his back, Chen Jiyuan grabbed the ball with one hand, I said it before, Chen Jiyuan's hand is very powerful, and the power of the fingers makes it easy for Chen Jiyuan to catch the ball, this ball, after Chen Jiyuan grabbed the ball with one hand, Howard was behind Chen Jiyuan, Starkey cut from the middle to the inside, Chen Jiyuan sent the ball to Starkey in the middle with one hand, Howard naturally saw this, So the attention was a little distracted in the middle direction, but Chen Jiyuan's ball was not injured by Starkey, and Alston next to Starkey was still in hot pursuit, so even if the ball was given to Starkey's hand, the probability of the hand was not particularly large, Chen Jiyuan pretended to send the ball to the middle on this side, and quickly pulled the ball back on the other side, and then directly used the power of his back to squeeze Howard away, so that Howard could not interfere with his turn, and successfully turned around, came to the inside line, and then the ball was originally going to be dunked by Chen Jiyuan, but it was not successful, because Howard reacted quickly and chased after Chen Jiyuan, because of Howard's interference, as a result, Chen Jiyuan gently put the ball in the basket and did not complete the dunk. 12:11。
This is the drama that all fans are looking forward to.
