Thank you Q, Q88563200 for the two monthly passes, thank you for the great reward from the center, today is the first update of the legend and then the king of the codeword.

――

"The Orlando Magic with Dwight on the inside will not be a match for Houston, but without Orlando, they can let go of their hands, such as playing against Houston with a fast pace."

Charles. Barkley shook his head and said that he had recently stood with Hedwight. Howard's Forefront.

"He's just a big boy, don't think it's a good word, I just want to tell Sù Dwight that he should hide in his mother's arms and drink milk, not like a kid on the court." Here are the words that Barkley said on the show he hosted some time ago.

For this Dan. Fagan publicly attacked Barkley in the newspaper and ridiculed Barkley for not having a ring, and Barkley also unceremoniously hit back at Fagan, and the war of words between the two once attracted a lot of attention.

"Charles, you have a lot of potential as a coach, Orlando can play fast-paced, although there is no Dwight on the inside, but this fast-paced is a difficult choice for Houston with Yao.

If you want to follow the rhythm then Yao will definitely not be able to hold on to the end, and it will not be easy to try to slow down Orlando, Rick. Adelman should probably have a headache for this, but he will definitely not give up on Yao's powerful lethality. ”

"Kenny, let's guess who Stan will start tonight after Dwight is announced to be out due to injury? It was the Polish Massin, who had just been recruited from the Development Alliance. Gortat, or Deacon Bay, who came to Orlando in the Houston offseason last season, or simply put Darko at center?

How about someone who guesses correctly and gets a free meal? "Charles. Barkley looked at Kenny. Smith said with a smile.

"Absolutely. But I'm more interested in how Wood, who hasn't been in great form lately, will play. As a die-hard fan of his. Charles, don't you care? ”

"How can I not care, I never felt that Wood's form would be affected, without Dwightwood would have played more calmly, oh, who is that? Natalie and Lindsay, they must be Amy and Annie in their hands, "Charles. Barkley looked down the tunnel for players.

There are still about ten minutes before the start of the game, but at this moment Natalie. Portman and Lindsay. Lohan and Carolina walked out of there.

Natalie. Portman was holding not Amy but Annie, and Lindsay. Lohan was holding Amy. The live director quickly gave a close-up.

There were crazy cheers at the center of the water house, and the two little guys were only a little over two months old, but they didn't understand anything, and this was the first time they showed their faces in front of the public.

"Kenny, I don't think Houston is going to take the win tonight, and Wood certainly won't let his son and daughter down." Barkley looked at the court and said with a smile, "They might even steal Mom's grace." ”

In the home team's locker room, except for Dwight. Howard didn't arrive, everyone else did.

Stan. Van Gundy looked at everyone: "Everyone wants us to be more depraved, downcast. But I know we won't, and we've all been in difficult situations. It's the first time we've played Houston this season, and I don't need to say much about their quality, you know.

I just want to say that I will do my best to give a game to the fans who love you the most and support you the most, win or lose! ”

Stan. After Van Gundy finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the locker room, Lin Sen stood up and raised his fist: "Fight!" ”

"Fight!"

Uniform shouts came out of the home team's locker room, and the Houston Rockets in the visitors' locker room also knew the importance of the game.

Adelman hasn't let up on the recent Magic slump, although the Houston Rockets have had a good record this season and are expected to be high by fans.

At the same time, it was also put into the first group of teams competing for the championship by the media, and the Rockets did a good job.

Especially on the offensive end of the offensive end Rashad . The arrival of Lewis and the return of Francis have helped the Rockets a lot, especially Yao Ming and Maddie, but Sean. Battier's departure also cut the Rockets' perimeter defense at some point.

Defensive efficiency is down a bit from last season, but the increase in offensive efficiency has somewhat overshadowed the problem.

The Magic are an offensive powerhouse, averaging 117.7 points per game in the league this season, while the Rockets are fifth averaging 107.5 per game.

Offensively, it's an offensive battle, but on the other hand, language magic does a great job of not only offense but also defense.

Aside from these games, the Magic averaged just 92 points per game in the past few months, which is the second-highest defense in the league behind the Boston Celtics.

"Listen to the voices of the fans, they are not depressed by Dwight's absence, and even I heard louder cheers than in the previous games, I don't want to say anything about Dwight, he has to grow up on his own, otherwise what awaits him is the result of the media reports - leaving."

"Let's look at the starting lineups tonight, it's a conversation between two super teams, one is affected and the other is hot, Houston will definitely want to take away the win from Orlando to extend their winning streak, and Orlando will definitely want to beat a strong team like Houston and regain their confidence.

The starting center on Houston's side is still Yao, who can be called the first center this season, and the power forward position is Louis, who has just joined the NBA. Scola, the small forward position, was signed in the offseason and then traded to Houston for Mr. Seventy Shard. Lewis, who averaged 17 points and six rebounds per game for Houston this season, is the best scorer outside of Houston.

His arrival has become one of the important reasons why Houston has continued to excel this season, the shooting guard position is Tracy, and he is still one of the best people in this position after getting rid of injuries, and the playmaking guard is Steve, who returned to Houston after three years this season. Francis.

He turned down a higher price to return to Houston, which is his home to him, and this season Steve changed his style of play. Immerse yourself in Houston as much as possible. Although the score slipped further. But he did a good job of making up for the weakness of Houston's playmaker. "Kenny. Smith said as he looked at the Rockets' starting list in his hand.

"Let's look at Orlando, I think people must be more concerned about who's going to be Orlando's starting center, oh, Kenny, guess who's going to be the starting center?" Barkley laughed.

"Charles, your smile is so ......, Darko?"

"It's not."

"The newly promoted Pole?"

"No, you'd be surprised anyway, neither of us guessed right. And this lineup is beyond everyone's imagination. Barkley pouted, "The starting center is Eddie. Griffin, the position of power forward is Sean. Battier, small forward is Ron. Artest, Chauncey and Wood on the back line, this is Orlando's starting lineup tonight, not only is there no Dwight, but even Darko is put on the bench, I can't figure out such a lineup?

Could it be that Stan is going to play small-ball tactics and carry out the speed to the end? But neither Ron nor Sean are speed players? ”

It's not just Charles. Barkley was puzzled. Fans on both sides, from neutral fans to the Rockets, don't understand what the Magic's starting lineup is for.

"With such a starting lineup, the inside line will be completely blown up by Yao. But the only good thing is that Orlando will have a strong control on the outside, and I don't see any good other than that, and I don't think this lineup can protect the rebounds. "Kenny. Smith spoke his mind.

"Who knows, what Stan thinks, and honestly, aside from worrying, I'm curious about what kind of level this squad can play." Charles. Barkley said with a smile.

"I wouldn't be surprised if Phil or Greg had made a lineup like that, because their brains are always different from others, and maybe Stan is working on that path.

A good game is about to start, Yao and Eddie stand in the middle of the court, and it is said that Eddie was traded by Houston on draft day, for which they paid Richard. Jefferson and Nakba, if Dawson is given another chance, I don't know if he will continue to choose this way. ”

"Eddie was the next KG, who knew it would be like this, but this season Eddie played well in Orlando."

With a whistle, the referee threw the ball into the air, although Eddie. Griffin bounced a lot better than Yao Ming, but he couldn't get the ball out due to his height disadvantage.

"Yao helped Houston get the opening offense, and Tracy got the ball." Kenny. Smith said, looking at the field.

Maddie controls the ball, and Magic quickly retreats.

Battier retreated to the inside line and stood next to Scola, Artest stood next to Lewis, and next to Maddie was Billups.

Linson stood in front of Francis, and Eddie. Griffin didn't stand behind Yao Ming, but directly chose to go around.

Although he is twenty centimeters shorter than Yao Ming, Eddie, who is much more flexible than Yao Ming. It was undoubtedly much easier for Griffin to get around.

However, the weight gap between the two made Eddie. Griffin's defense around the front was more laborious, but Eddie. Griffin doesn't care about his body.

"Maybe I know Stan's plan, everyone knows that Yao is very afraid of going around, and if you want to solve the problem of being around, you need other people in Houston to keep breaking through inside, and Orlando is not afraid of a strong team on the outside, after all, Sean, Ron and Chauncey's defense is very good, if Yao can't catch the ball, then he can't play Houston's interior strength." Kenny. Smith said, looking at the field.

Maddie wants to hoist the ball to Yao Ming, but Eddie. Griffin's frenzied forward movement made him abandon that plan, and after passing the ball to Francis, Francis didn't attack and passed the ball back to Maddy again.

At the same time, the Rockets helped Maddy open up space with a run, and Billups and Maddy entered the NBA in the same year.

Billups was the No. 1 pick, while Maddie was the ninth pick.

After watching Billups Maddy in front of him dribble with a low center of gravity in a row, he cut in with a big stride and then jumped directly with a quick stop to throw the ball.

The height advantage doesn't interfere much with Maddie's shots, especially after he's given plenty of space.

The ball went into the basket and opened the scoring for the Rockets.

"Tracy hit a pullup jumper, did a good job, how will Orlando attack...... Especially the inside line is missing Dwight plus Darko. This means that they can only rely on the outside line for attack. Fools also know how to defend their offense and block the high post. "Kenny. Smith said as he looked at Linson, who was dribbling the ball to the frontcourt.

The Rockets quickly retreated, as Kenny did. As Smith said, while they feel weird about the Magic's lineup, they know how to deal with it, and that is to block as high as possible.

"Wood passed the ball to Chauncey, ran without the ball?" Kenny. Smith said, looking at the field.

In the past, Linson did this, which was the beginning of running without the ball, and in these games, various opponents have blocked the Magic's offensive method very well. Now that there are two less big men on the inside, Adelman looks at the corner of his mouth with a smile on his lips.

In charge of defending Linson is Francis, who played against Francis last season and he knows what Linsen is capable of.

Fortunately, the Rockets have emphasized how to defend Linson before, and I have to say that those teams in the first few games provided a template for the following teams to defend Linson.

"Wood couldn't find a chance on the outside." Barkley was worried.

The live director moved the camera from Linson to the sidelines, holding Amy and Annie Lindsay. Lohan and Natalie. Portman appears in the camera.

The two little guys, who have just been more than two months old, puff out their mouths in such a noisy environment, their eyes are closed, and their little hands are still waving from time to time.

"Amy and Anne tell us again that parents' genes have a big influence on children. Look, even though they're just over two months old, I can already imagine how charming they'll be when they grow up. ”

In Buckley's voice. Lin Sen threw the ball out directly after receiving the ball, and the ball hit the ground to Artest.

However, Artest's shot failed to hit under Lewis's interference, and the ball smashed directly into the basket.

"It's a pity that we didn't score, even though it was just the beginning, but I didn't see much of a sense of this line-up arrangement, and I don't know what Stan was doing this for.

If it's a run, then it's just playing, but I didn't see it in the first attack. "Kenny. Smith said.

The Houston Rockets, who switched offense and defense and returned to the offensive end, got a good chance, although Yao Ming couldn't get the ball, but under the tactics, Lewis got a great opportunity on the outside.

"Rebound!" Lewis yelled at Louis on the inside. Scola and Yao Ming immediately grabbed the best positions.

At this time, the negative side of the Magic's inside board grabbing was exposed again, but Eddie. Griffin and Battier didn't want to grab the rebounds at all.

Lin Sen, who rushed in from the three-point line, jumped high more than a meter away from the reasonable collision area, and the whole person rushed directly to the ball that popped out of the frame.

Yao Ming and Scola were very fond of jumping, but Battier and Eddie. Griffin made them jump very inadequately, and Lin Sen took the rebound directly from the top of Yao Ming's head.

"Wood jumped so high, he could almost ride on Yao's neck, this rebound grabbed was amazing!" Kenny. Smith exclaimed.

Lin Sen, who got the rebound, did not land, but forcibly turned around in the air and threw the ball out directly.

On the other side, Billups had already started early, and the ball thrown by Linson went straight for him.

Lin Sen, who landed on the ground, didn't make any adjustments, and jumped out like a cheetah.

"Orlando's counterattack, quick counterattack, Houston's defense was tested, only Tracy and Steve stepped back!" Kenny. Smith shouted.

Although Linson started slowly, his speed allowed him to quickly go toe-to-toe with Francis.

Billups went down quickly from the left and Linson was in the middle.

The fans all watched on the court, and when Billups took the ball to the three-point line, Linson had already entered the three-point line.

Francis, on the other hand, was already one position behind Linson, and Billups didn't think about throwing the ball out.

Maddie's jump interfered with Billups' pass, and the ball went straight to the basket.

Rushing into the free throw line, Linson kicked the ground, and Francis behind him also jumped, but the possibility of interfering with Linson was too small to be more than a position behind.

Under the watchful eyes of the fans, Lin Sen's right hand met the ball flying towards him, and his right hand received the ball steadily.

Syllable!

Behind him, Francis's arm swayed into the air.

Lin Sen grabbed the basket with one hand, and the whole audience rang out with a uniform WOOD!

"Well done, it was a perfect air relay that belonged to Chauncey and Wood. I think that's probably Stan's biggest expectation. Run and bomb belonging to Chauncey and Wood. Wood, in particular, took his speed to the extreme. Barkley said with a smile.

"But it's a test of Wood's fitness." Kenny. Smith points out one of the biggest problems.

As the game continued, Adelman, who was on the sidelines, frowned more and more as he watched Yao Ming, who was running back again, as he slowly noticed that something was wrong.

Because the game has been played for nearly five minutes now, although the Rockets have a four-point lead, Yao Ming has not been involved much.

Not only on the offensive end by Eddie. Griffin kept going around the front and was, and he had to run back and forth again and again.

And the Magic looked at the interior and no one could grab a rebound, but Battier, Eddie. Griffin and even Artest kept fighting for positions, and then Billups and Linson on the outside kept rushing for rebounds under the cover of their teammates.

So far, Lin Sen has got 4 rebounds. It wasn't half-time, it was only five minutes before the game started.

In this way of grabbing rebounds, the Magic rebounds did not lose much, and more importantly, the Magic bench was still sitting in Darko. Milicic and Mutombo and even the Pole who had just been transferred.

Although this season Tony. Barty's joining has solved a lot of problems on the inside of the Rockets, but Barty has no way to make up for Yao Ming's shortcomings.

Once Yao Ming was off the court and Milicic was on the court, thinking of such a situation, Adelman felt that the Magic's starting lineup was deliberately like this.

Rick called a timeout! Did he find something? Yao almost didn't waste any of these five minutes, only hitting one of the two shots, but the physical consumption was not a lot at all.

Of course, Eddie wasn't much better, and just look at his sweat to see how much he's been giving in those five minutes. ”

"I don't think there's any doubt about Wood getting a triple-double tonight. Look, he's got 4 rebounds, did Stan deliberately help Wood brush up on Jù tonight to send out such a starting lineup? "Kenny. Smith said as he looked at the number jù statistic.

12:16。 The Orlando Magic, playing at home, trailed by four points as players from both sides walked to the sidelines.

After a short timeout, Yao Ming did not appear on the court and was substituted, and did not appear in the starting lineup Darko. Milicic replaces Eddie. Griffin, meanwhile the Polish Marsin, who had just been transferred from the NBDL. Gortat was also on the field.

"Oh, Orlando replaced Chauncy and Eddie with two big men, and Houston replaced Yao with Tony, and suddenly there was a contrast in the strength of the inside line, and I think the show is about to come out." Barkley said with a smile as he looked at the players on the field.

Adelman looked at the Magic players on the court, almost exactly as he had guessed, and he was thinking about letting Yao Ming and Tony get Yao Ming and Tony after a few minutes of rest. Barty came on together.

Without Yao Ming, the rockets, like the magic just now, can only rely on outside offense.

At this moment, Battier and Artest took the turn of small forward and shooting guard, just right against Lewis and Maddie.

In the face of Artest's defense, Maddy, who came back from a timeout, failed to shoot the ball.

"It was the Pole's NBA debut, and he got the first count of his career, a rebound, and the defensive rebound just now was very good." Barkley praised.

Gortat was a little nervous, feeling like he was already sweating profusely as soon as he came on the court.

The ball was immediately thrown to Lin Sen like a hot potato, and Lin Sen almost missed the ball.

"Haha, Massin still showed his rookie nature, look at his nervous appearance, he almost made a mistake just praising him." Kenny. Smith said with a smile.

Lin Sen stabilized the ball and walked to Gortat, who ran over: "Massin, don't be nervous, we will help you, you grabbed the rebound just now, it would be better if the pass was a little better." ”

Gortat is much older than Linsen, but he knows his place in the team and is still very useful for Linsen's encouragement.

"Score one!" Lin Sen raised his index finger and shouted.

“WOOD！ WOOD！ WOOD！ ”

A uniform sound rang out in the center of the water house, and the Rockets defended him no different than they had in the first five minutes, still blocking his high post as much as possible.

Without inside containment, Linson has indeed been tested in this regard, scoring only 2 points in the first five minutes, but delivering 3 assists.

Linson passed the ball to Battier, who was pulled to the top of the arc, and Milicic pulled it out from the inside.

Adelman looked at Linson on the field, and he was not worried at all about such an offensive method.

At this time, Linson rushed into the interior with the help of Milicic's cover, and according to the normal magic tactics, Linson will find opportunities to receive the ball on the outside or in the middle and long range, especially in the two corners.

However, this time Linson surprised the Rockets, and Lewis, who switched to Linsen, had to stop.

Because Linson stopped low on the right side, and Battier passed the ball in the first place. (To be continued......)
