Chapter 177: Battle Magic (1)
(A thousand more words, wait a minute.) The first chapter) Howard's opening action is still shaking his head like a stroke, and this big man who likes to be funny even imitates James's magnesium powder action when playing against the Heat, which annoys the little emperor for a while.
The two Eastern Conference teams are currently third and fourth, and after the Knicks won the last game, they squeezed the Magic from the third place by virtue of one more win.
In this regard, Magic coach Stan? Van Gundy still minds, as the basketball elite of the Van Gundy family, Jeff? Van Gundy was the head coach of the New York Knicks in the 1996-2001 season, and Stan, known as the big Van Gundy? Van Gundy coached the Miami Heat and the Orlando Magic. During his tenure with the Heat, Stan Van Gundy also became the first All-Star coach in the Heat's history and led the Eastern Conference Stars to victory. The Heat have 59 wins throughout the regular season and are in first place in the Eastern Conference.
With two mustaches, he is less than 1.8 meters tall and did not excel when playing in college. But as a head coach, Big Van Gundy has had a good run.
After a thrilling victory over the Bucks the day before yesterday, the Knicks are currently full of morale and energy.
The Magic's pre-game preparation was also good, as they took a double-digit lead in the second quarter with a strong inside advantage and a three-point spurt in the last game, and they won 117-101 over the Toronto Raptors.
Although the score gap between the two teams was huge, the scene was quite hot.
Glenn Davis came out for treatment after being elbowed to Calderon in the second quarter, requiring five stitches to close the wound. He returned in the third quarter with a big band-aid on his head, and James Johnson missed the morning shooting practice due to flu-like symptoms. But he did start the game to honor the Canadian military's contributions, and the Raptors wore camouflage jerseys for the second time in the game, two more in their final month.
In this game, the sharpshooter Leon Anderson, who shot 8-of-13 from three-point range in the previous game, started the game. He set a career record for three points in his last game.
The other four Magic starters are: Monster, Nelson and Turkoglou and Jason Richardson.
"This is the starter everyone expected, and this year the Magic can achieve a good ranking in the East, and the combination of inside and outside is the key. However, for Howard, what he needs is not the regular season standings, but the championship, a chance to stand at the top. Yikes. Let's look at the Knicks' side again, is it that I am dazzled, the starting center on the Knicks' side turned out to be: Oden. Oh my God, head coach Wang Xiaomu is so able to surprise people, do they still want to rotate and rest against the top four teams in the East? Oh no, Chandler was on the bench, and he looked in a good mood and was jogging with Novak on the sidelines. If nothing else, you can make your main players play as substitutes willingly without injury. That's the dominance of the manager, absolutely, great, dressing room dominance! ~" The pro-Knicks media spat and spit.
The players of the two teams entered the stadium in the passionate introduction of the live DJ, and although it was Madison, the entry of Howard of Warcraft still won the applause of the fans. In this era of scarcity of big players, Howard, who likes to spoof, has attracted the attention of many fans.
Although Warcraft has a happy expression all the time, in fact, his current situation can be described by the most well-known lyrics in China: "Won the world, lost her." ”
Howard's wife Lois? Reed was a cheerleader for the Orlando Magic, and the NBA cheerleaders are almost world-famous for their stature and appearance, so there are countless news of cheerleaders and stars having scandals in the United States.
The most famous of all, Chamberlain, who claimed to be the most popular among women, is the most typical example, and his lawyer even said that "some people collect stamps, and Wilt collects women." The NBA superstar, who claims to have slept with 20,000 women, had the experience of being in the locker room with cheerleaders just after a game.
But in fact, it may be because of too many romantic debts of predecessors, and the relationship between Howard and Reed is actually not allowed by the NBA. Because the NBA has a rule that "players are not allowed to have relationships with cheerleaders". So, for love, Reed left the cheerleaders of the Orlando Magic and joined the cheerleaders of the Miami Heat.
Wonderful love and life are often two different things, no matter how rich you are. Although Reed gave birth to a son for Howard. But the relationship between the two is like the inevitable ending of a love soap opera, and it takes a sharp turn.
In the battle for custody of the child, the two had a series of conflicts - disappointed and frustrated, Reed published a series of remarks on the website in the name of Howard's child's mother, publicly reprimanding Howard as an irresponsible man, and calling Howard a "rice bucket father" and "a debtor's father". To that end, Howard filed a lawsuit in Florida court last year, accusing Reed of wantonly discrediting him. Later, the court issued a "gag order" prohibiting Reed from using Howard's name, nickname, likeness and photographs in public, directly, indirectly, or by insinuation.
It is inconceivable in China that a pair of former lovers, who are also the parents of a child, should get to the point where the "law" cannot even mention each other's names.
But a society governed by the rule of law is about creating incredible places. After that, the two faced Bo Gong court many times, making a fuss and jumping inextricably.
It's far away, back on the field, and the game has begun.
The Knicks' sending Oden to start clearly ignited the enthusiasm of the fans, and the fanatical fans in the stadium wanted to witness the Mars of the two interior centers hit the Earth as soon as possible.
The course of the game did not disappoint the fans either.
As soon as the game began, the Magic team held high the offensive banner and blew the horn of the game.
The Magic didn't start with Howard, but the two big men who could shoot the most threes, Turkoglou and Leon Anderson, fired from the outside and hit two big three-pointers in a row.
Howard and Oden are two guys on the inside, and you push and shove, which is completely a hard-hitting trick.
The first to take advantage was Howard, who had a stronger upper body, and although he missed a close-range shot under Oden's interference, he grabbed back-to-back offensive rebounds and made rebounds.
"Rebounding, sure enough, rebounding. Howard was born for rebounding, and when he first entered the league, he had a reputation as a rebounding beast. The media supporting the Magic shouted loudly.
