Indeed, the Cavaliers continued to play a game that made the Magic a little ugly in the half.

Howard also took advantage of the vacancy to eat cake balls and play a dozen, but he really regretted it with Tang Long in the low position, and he couldn't stand it.

In the early days, Howard had rough low-post footwork skills, and although he was among the league's first-class centers, he mostly relied on his body to play.

Unlike Yao Ming, he is handy with all kinds of basket skills.

To a certain extent, Tang Long is also relying on his body to play.

However, the fusion of Atsushi Shihara is stronger than Howard in terms of basic skills.

was capped by Tang Long's big hot pot twice, and Howard already has a psychological shadow.

"Hey! De Bad, you have to cheer up, you can't be crushed by that big big man in the dragon country, he's just a rookie, you're different, you're the league's top interior player! ”

Magic coach Van Gundy whispered in Howard's ear.

Howard's expression was a little solemn, and he lost his original image of a happy big boy.

"Damn Coach Van Gundy, I don't think that kid is just a rookie, didn't you notice that he has a big defensive area on the inside?"

"We've all been capped by his big hot pot, and this kind of defensive coverage can't be done by a rookie."

As Howard's voice fell, Turkoglu and Lewis agreed.

"Coach Van Gundy, De Bad is not wrong, that kid is indeed a little weird, his sideways steps are too fast, even if you feel that the breakthrough is quite far away from him."

"And he can come to you in the next moment and give you a big hot pot cap, such a guy, it is estimated that the peak Shaq will not be able to do it."

Van Gundy frowned, in order to encourage the players, he deliberately belittled Tang Long, but he didn't expect that Tang Long was absolutely defensive several times, leaving a big shadow on the magic team.

"Don't panic, I'll take the offensive rhythm next."

At this time, Jamal Nimison said.

"OK, that's the only way, you sort out the team's offense, and all the problems are left to you."

Van Gundy could only use dead horses as a live horse doctor.

The two sides came to the third quarter showdown, and the Magic began to shoot wildly from the outside, and generally did not break through the interior to score.

Because of Tang Long's absolute defense, they were very jealous.

Point guard Jamal Nimison, tandem to organize offense, and shoot when he has the opportunity.

Or see a team-mate in an open space and immediately pass the ball to Turkoglou, or Evans in the second position.

This kind of outside shooter group play was once decent.

Originally, I was behind the Cavaliers, and I was fighting, and I found that I was going to overtake.

"That's right, that's our rhythm, keep it up."

"As long as you vote accurately, the dragon boy will have no way to take you."

"No matter how good he is, he can't do one defense and five defenses!"

Van Gundy yelled excitedly.

At this point, Evans and Turkoglu hit two three-pointers in a row.

Jamal Nimison made a mid-range jumper and the ball didn't go in.

Tang Long, who turned on [Absolute Rebounding], immediately saw where the rebounding ball landed.

Howard also pretended to be in the card position, and Tang Long ran over to be a classic stepping on the headboard.

"De Bad, is the card slot useful? It might be useful for other centre-forwards, but not at all for me. ”

Tang Long picked up the backcourt rebound and immediately passed to Larry Hughes.

This kind of classic headboard shocked everyone again.

Commentators Jack and Fries exclaimed, "Wow... It's incredible, Don has this kind of rebounding again, I remember against the Celtics, Don took this kind of rebound on the head of KG and Perkins. ”

"I feel that the inside player is against a guy like Tang, and he still doesn't want to be stuck in the position, because the card position is useless for him!"

As the two were talking, Larry Hughes advanced with the ball and began to attack.

The strong side broke through to the short corner, and James immediately came up to pick it up, and he hit the ground and passed the ball to James.

James took the ball and dummered two shots, tricked Turkoglou and Evans, and then scored two points in a solid way.

"LeBron dummy basket, this move is very practical and beautiful, the Magic team was just about to equalize, or even overtake, and the Cavaliers suppressed this momentum."

"At the moment, the score between the two teams is 55:52, and the Magic are only three points behind."

On the big screen of Amway Arena, the scores of the two teams are also recorded at all times.

"Come on! Kill the Cavaliers who have won six in a row, they are not invincible, our goal this year is to hit the championship, how can we lose to the Cavaliers? ”

Magic fans shouted at the top of their necks.

In a sea of blue, the Cavaliers were a little submerged.

The boos were mixed with mocking voices, and they drilled into the ears of Tang Long, James and the others.

"It's just a small scene, Don don't be nervous!"

James smiled slightly and said to Tang Long.

This kind of boo is usually given to the away team players by the home team's fans.

In order to disturb the minds of the visiting players, the home fans like to play the rhythm in the stadium.

James has been in the NBA for a few years, and he is not surprised by this kind of scene, and it has no impact at all, he is afraid that Tang Long will not be used to it.

And Tang Long often played 2k games before he crossed over, and he also knew what these boos meant.

He shrugged, indicating that he was calm.

The Magic then attacked, scoring an effective two-pointer.

The ball was converted, the Cavaliers attacked, Tang Long received the ball and made a layup, which was dragged down by Howard.

He saw that he couldn't prevent Tang Long from being out of position, so he sent Tang Long to the free throw line and let Tang Long go to the free throw.

For free throws, Howard is very good, and the shooting percentage is the same as that of O'Neal.

Once Kobe Bryant also said that when it comes to free throws, Howard is not as good as O'Neal.

O'Neal usually doesn't score free throws, but when it comes to critical moments, O'Neal can often withstand the pressure and throw that damn free throw.

Howard can't, whether it's a normal game or when it comes to critical moments, he always misses free throws.

In his opinion, Tang Long, who is in the same position as the center, must also be terrible at free throws.

As for the first few games, no one used the 'dragon cutting tactic', and Tang Long was generally allowed to play alone in the low post.

Playing magic tonight, let this dragon boy taste the 'dragon cutting tactics'!

There was a 'shark cutting tactic' before, and now there is a 'dragon cutting tactic', Howard grinned widely, waiting for Tang Long to throw the ball away.

"Hey! De Bad, seeing you smile so happily, didn't you have any kind eyes? Expecting me to shoot free throws? ”

Tang Long looked at Howard and said for no reason.

"Don... I'll bet you, you're going to miss this ball. ”

"Oh? What if I don't lose it? What do you say? A $50,000 bet won't work? Anyway, I also renewed my contract, and I didn't miss that money. ”

Tang Long directly choked Howard to death with a word.

A $50,000 bet?

This amount of money is nothing to Howard, and he immediately said: "Okay, Don, I'll bet 50,000 dollars with you, and I'll see if you get in!" ”
