Chapter 465: Where Did Wood Go?
"It's Wood again, Wood wiped Dwight's ass for the second time in a row, but it's not good that Wood rides Dwight in disguise."
"Wood jumped really high, completely surpassing everyone, this is the real strength of the dunk king, in fact, it is not completely riding Dwight, it can only be said that there is no way to let Dwight open for Wood's dunk this time.
Yao and Louis were knocked out of the way, weren't they? Bill Wharton said with a smile.
Howard was very depressed, not only did he not complete the goal but was also dunked by Linsen, he really wanted to throw Linsen off his back, especially at the moment Toyota Center ridiculed him.
"Be careful."
Howard turned around and hugged Lin Sen, who let go of the basket and was hugged by Howard, and it seemed that the two were in a good relationship.
As the game continued, Howard returned to the defensive end and finally blocked Yao Ming's third individual attack, and the ball smashed directly into the frame.
Milicic grabbed the defensive rebound, held the ball with both hands and passed to Linson.
"Yao finally missed, and Dwight must have breathed a sigh of relief, but went back to the offensive end and hoped that Dwight would stop asking for the ball to play alone." Hoffman said as he looked at Howard, who was running to the frontcourt.
Stan Van Gundy gestured at Linson to tell him to stop singleing Howard, and Linsen nodded.
In the face of Francis's defense, Linson held the ball around the 40-degree three-point line on the right side.
Lin Sen's left and right hands are balanced, and the number of breakthroughs on the left and right sides is about the same, and he is one of the few people in the NBA who is not biased on both sides.
However, even if the statistics do not show the gap, Linsen is still better at attacking on the right side.
Dribbling the ball with his left hand and making a gesture to Howard on the inside with his right hand, motioning for Howard to come out to cover and then cut in.
Seeing Lin Sen's gesture, Howard also thanked Lin Sen in his heart. Immediately pulled out.
Boom!
Francis crashes into Howard. Maddie on the other side immediately switched guards with Francis.
Sticking to Maddie. Lin Sen's ultra-low center of gravity cuts inward.
Suddenly there was an emergency stop, the right hand slapped the ball behind him, and the left hand caught the ball while the whole person grabbed Maddie's reaction was too late, and the forced cut from the right side became from the left side.
This change made the Rockets basket in an instant noise, and just as Yao Ming and Scola focused on Lin Sen, Lin Sen raised the ball with his left hand.
Scola jumped, but the ball leaped high over his fingers and flew towards the rebound.
"Wood, is this a shot? Oh no. It's not a shot, it's a pass! Hoffman said as he looked at the ball that flew to the rebound and bounced to the right.
Howard, who was covering for Linson, cut in from around forty-five degrees.
Looking at the ball that bounced off the rebound, he jumped high and grabbed the ball with both hands.
Yao Ming wanted to interfere with Howard, but Howard had already jumped up completely.
In the face of such a situation, Yao Ming naturally knew that if he interfered again, he would only make himself Howard's background board, and maybe he would be ridden.
Howard grabbed the rebounding ball with both hands and watched the sparks in his eyes as he watched the basket.
Pull the ball to the back of his head and smash it towards the basket with all his strength.
Syllable!
With a loud bang, the basket is bent by Howardra. Kick your legs forward sharply.
"Dwight, Shaq-style slam dunk. It was a dunk to vent his frustration. "Bill. Wharton exclaimed.
Like O'Neal's signature slam dunk, the basket was pulled down to a height again under the tremendous impact.
Release the hoop and jump down.
The basket shook violently, and unexpectedly, Howard's dunk power was too great this time.
The rebound shook even more after Howard's hands were released, and the buzzing sound told everyone how much force it had just taken from Howard.
With a violent shaking, the timer above the rebound went on strike.
Fell straight over the rebound and hung aside.
This turn of events startled everyone, and Howard's fist swing and roar echoed the scene.
The people who were originally standing under the basket also dodged all of a sudden, which made Howard's crazy dunk even more shocking.
The Toyota Center was also silent because of this, and no one expected Howard's strength to be so great.
Although it's just the timer dropping, it's not a broken rebound, but the impact is no less than a broken rebound.
You must know that the load-bearing capacity of today's rebounding tempered glass far exceeds that of the beginning, and it is impossible to smash the rebound after scientific practice.
"The power of the pervert, the rebound is still shaking violently! Dwight's dunk this time was just crazy, and it was a true reflection of his inhibition. Hoffman lamented.
Bavita blew to stop the game, and the staff immediately entered the stadium to make repairs.
"Dwight is actually far better than him when he plays like this, and now his role in Orlando is more about defense, and standing on the inside is a deterrent.
He can play better against teams that aren't as strong on the inside, but against teams like Houston or even Cleveland, I'm more concerned about his defense.
If he doesn't do well defensively, then he loses the meaning of playing.
On the offensive end, Dwight is actually far less capable of covering and then tearing it down than Darko, but his physical qualities make him and Wood, including Chauncey's pick-and-roll, very lethal.
It would be easy to score and share the pressure on his teammates on the defensive end, far better than his own forced single-handedness with poor offensive skills.
If I were Stan, I would ban Dwight from having too many singles. "Bill. Wharton looked at Howard walking off the bench and said, "Unless Dwight develops more solid offensive techniques." β
Stan. How could Van Gundy not know this, but Howard is the core of the interior after all.
Although the status of the team is not as good as Linson, he also has to take care of Howard's affection.
Howard's flirtatious or absenteeism will hurt the team even more, so sometimes he won't interfere too much with Howard's offense.
Five minutes later, the staff fixed the timer and the game resumed.
These five minutes also effectively allowed the Rockets to slow down the impact of being re-dunked by Howard, and Howard became extraordinarily positive after the game restarted.
The offensive end is really like Beal. As Wharton said, use his body element as a cover and then go down. You can come on your own or attract the defense.
Seven minutes after the third quarter. Howard went from being two to zero at the start of the second half to hitting five in a row.
All five of those goals came from direct assists from teammates. Chen Tian contributed three of them.
The Rockets also played well on the offensive end, with both sides putting a lot of energy on the defensive end in the third quarter, but it was far less effective than in the first half.
Orlando scored 34 points in the quarter, while the Rockets also scored 32 points, and the two sides tied the game at 79 at the end of the third quarter.
After the start of the fourth quarter, the defensive intensity of both sides became more intense.
Shooting percentages are also starting to drop, and the Rockets have found a way to contain Howard.
That is, Howardra does not go out empty, but sticks it to defense.
The race was in a tense atmosphere, and when the clock came to the last thirty seconds of the race.
Maddy hit a difficult pull-up three-pointer against Artest's defense. Tie the difference.
That's when Stan. Van Gundy used up the team's last long timeout to just one short timeout, and the Rockets also had one short timeout.
"It's incredible, Tracy saved Houston, this three-point is so crucial, Ron has stuck to him, and the defense is in place.
If it weren't for Ron's vigilance, he might even be given a four-point by Tracy this time, and if it did, then the pressure would be on Orlando's side now. Hoffman said as he watched the replay.
In this game, Maddy's table was not bad in the first half, but the third and fourth quarters were not good.
But the three points just now were really crucial. Without this three-pointer, the Magic would have come close to winning the game.
Just as the players of both sides walked to their respective benches, Lin Sen suddenly wanted to emulate what Garnett did in the last game.
Didn't go to the Magic bench to accept the tactical setup. Instead, he went straight to the Rockets bench.
Not tall, he squeezed directly next to Yao Ming, and on the other side of him was Lewis.
Lin Sen held Yao Ming's back like a Rockets player, and neither Yao Ming nor Lewis realized that they were next to Lin Sen.
The Rockets, including the fans, were momentarily unaware of Linson's behavior. Van Gundy was about to lay out the plan.
He undoubtedly had to hand over the key ball to Lin Sen, but found that Lin Sen was not there.
"What about the Woods?" Stan. Van Gundy asked.
Everyone looked around and looked around, but they didn't find Lin Sen.
"Wood is missing?" Milicic looked incredulous.
"Wood just went to Houston." Pippen, who was on the bench, looked at the dazed teammates and smiled exaggeratedly.
"Wood went to the Rockets? Hahaha! Is he emulating KG? Houston didn't spot him. Artest laughed as well.
Stan. Van Gundy had a black line, something he didn't expect.
Next came the Magic offense, which was crucial, but the main person went to the Rockets to eavesdrop on the defensive tactics.
"Regardless of Wood, wait for the first or give Wood, Chauncey, Sue SΓΉ Wood to play the No. 11 tactic, if Wood can't play, Dakko you ...... immediately"
Rick on the other side of the tech desk. Adelman's saliva flew straight away: "They must give Wood that guy to attack, Orlando's most common key ball is to attack at these two points, Darko and Dwight cover ......"
Adelman spoke very attentively, and the Rockets players listened attentively.
On the other hand, the magic side was full of laughter, and there was no pressure at all.
"It's so relaxed over there in Orlando, they seem to be laughing, they don't have any pressure at all." Hoffman said, looking at the Magic sidelines.
"I didn't expect the last game to be played to the end, and this game is the same, but it's time to show Wood's ability to play the key ball.
Orlando is so relaxed, obviously confident enough in Wood's key balls, and if I were the coach and I had Wood, I wouldn't dare to worry.
If Wood completes the key shot again today, there is not even a single doubt that he is the biggest heart of NBA history. "Bill. Wharton continued.
Adelman finished explaining the defense and laid out the last offensive tactic.
Bavita stepped onto the field and blew the whistle. (To be continued......)
