(There's another chapter later, 4,000 words today.) The night sky in New York is still silent, but the arena has reached a boiling point.

Warcraft Howard's expression was grim, he specially adjusted his competitive state before the game today, this game is very important for the Magic, the third and fourth are often the difference between a thin line, but the result is heaven and hell. Especially after seeing the Knicks' crazy home fans, he vowed never to fight against the Knicks in such a hot atmosphere again.

At the pre-war mobilization meeting, Big Van Gundy had high hopes for the game, raising the height of the battle to the point of life and death for the team. In fact, the sensitive Van Gundy has realized that if the team can't go far in the playoffs this time, Howard will most likely be leaving next season.

Howard also used this game as a big test, and he even played the whole court in the first quarter. But Auden behind him is like a dog skin plaster, inseparable from himself. I have to say that there are very few people in the alliance who can make Howard so uncomfortable, he can't squeeze it out, he can't stand it, and the opponent's skills are not inferior at all.

Warcraft originally thought that Oden had been trapped by an injury for a long time, and even if he came back, he would not be in good shape, and even if he was in good shape, he would not be able to hold on for a long time.

Therefore, Howard held on for a whole section, and in this quarter he even only had 4 shots, which was completely a confrontation of hard steel muscles, and he wanted to rely on his physical strength to drag down Oden.

I didn't expect this guy who looked stupid and wrinkled with a face to look like a dog skin plaster. Obviously, it can't look good, and it's obviously about to fall off the chain, but it's just that the dead skin is clinging to himself.

In the second quarter, Howard significantly stepped up his offense. He straightens his arms high and asks his point guard for the ball. Nelson naturally sent the ball to the monster as soon as possible. After wrestling with Oden, Howard used his round rumbling muscles to get the ball in his hands.

Auden's first wave of power interference didn't work, and he hurriedly took a step back. Keep your center of gravity low and get back into the defensive position. As a member of the team who was excavated from the dumpster by the head coach, Auden was very aware of the indispensability of Bole while being grateful to Wang Xiaomu, but the road of Maxima was walked out step by step! ……

It turns out. Oden's admiration for Wang Xiaomu was not blind, and after he roared at the attack of the monster, the Madison Square Garden court chanted Oden's name in unison, as if he had just received the honor he received when he joined the league as the champion.

Auden's tears kept rolling in his eyes, and he tried to keep them from coming out, but it was apparently in vain. Excited + excited, Uncle Auden, who was full of wrinkles, burst into tears.

Although the Monster couldn't score, the Knicks didn't please either, in the scramble for rebounding. Redick, the little man of the Magic, sprang out and took the ball down. At the same time, Tekoglu, who assisted on the outside, scored three points.

The Magic re-cut the score to within seven points. The scores on both sides are still tight.

Returning to the Knicks' offense, Oden hammered his chest and reached out to Jeremy Lin for the ball. Jeremy Lin was also happy to conserve his strength in the second quarter. Just after halftime, he hurriedly handed over the ball.

As a core player in the N-World All-Star and Finals, Howard naturally disdains to lower his status. Stalking Oden, he generously waited for Oden to get the ball before moving his body to a defensive stance.

Oden apparently thought this was a contempt for himself, and when he got the ball, he turned around and ate Howard. Oden has a good hand, and the ball hits the board into the basket.

Excited, Auden kissed his finger and raised his right hand high.

Of course, the battle-hardened Warcraft couldn't swallow this breath, and used his offensive opportunity to beat Oden in turn.

Overall, under the defense of Oden at all costs, the two still have their own strengths.

For nearly ten minutes in the second quarter, the rest of the players on both sides were completely reduced to spectators, happily watching the two prehistoric monsters fight on the court.

The panting players of the two teams walked into the locker room with a five-point difference, and the suspense between the two sides continued.

"It was so exciting, the two sides presented the fans with a classic inside offensive battle in the first half. Looking at Oden's various steps, all kinds of shaking, virtual and real, fake and real, can reasonably use his body to find the angle and position to put the ball into the basket, in addition to making a very good shot from time to time. Look at Howard, lean back, drill in, true and false, with real and false, with real and false, able to directly transform his body into a weapon, and shoot the ball at any time. Enjoyable, enjoyable! The commentators who support the Knicks also have to admit that the confrontation between the two inside players is the hottest scene in recent years.

As soon as the fifteen-minute break passed, the two teams entered one after another and started a more tragic battle! The Knicks fans in the audience recuperated at halftime and regained their vigor in the first half, one by one with open arms and patting their chests and shouting for the team......

"The second half started...... Hey, the Knicks took the lead in replacing their own benches, oh my God, Chandler, Scola, Jeffries, Stoudemire, and Garin Jerehao's guard configuration, what kind of trouble is this? Could it be that Coach Wang Xiaomu wants to show off his nuclear weapons to Big Van Gundy? The commentator at the scene was as surprised as Columbus found in the New World, he hadn't seen the lineup of the Knicks, and obviously didn't quite understand Wang Xiaomu's thoughts.

According to Wang Xiaomu's understanding of the big man lineup, he formulated a 16-character policy for his big man: "Playing inside the line, playing inside the outside line, using high to control skill, and high to fast." ”

In fact, this kind of pure tall lineup is not easy to play, but the Knicks win by having a flexible Scola!

The big diamond that catches the ball dangles under the basket and in various realistic feints in the middle distance, coupled with a pretty good mid-range shot and a certain speed, it looks quite bluffing for a while.

Of course, Chandler and Jeffries, two big blue-collar workers, are also important, and for a while, they only grabbed the rebound, and the Magic's bench lineup obviously couldn't deal with it.

But Big Van Gundy's experience is much stronger than Wang's, and it only took him 2 rounds to try out the weaknesses of this lineup. The Magic sent a real outside tall killer to rewind the ball on the perimeter until they had a good chance to shoot again.

The lineup sent by Wang Xiaomu succeeded last time because the opponent did not give full play to the advantages of the outside line, and this time when it met the outside team, it immediately collapsed.

Fortunately, Wang Xiaomu hurriedly called a timeout, and let his little men quickly warm up and prepare a reasonable new lineup.
