With his amazing talent, Howard of Warcraft played extremely dominant in the center position.

Especially on the defensive end, he single-handedly turned the basket into a no-fly zone, which became a nightmare for all team breakers!

At that time, there was a saying: Howard is the only player in the league who can replace James alone!

Since Zhou Yang led the Warriors to defeat the Lakers and Cavaliers, the media has been waiting for this game.

In the eyes of many media people, there are not many teams that can "submit" this rookie champion, and the Magic team is definitely the one with the greatest hope.

They believe that Howard's defensive ability is too strong, and Zhou Yang's breakthrough will definitely be deflated.

So a week ago, the media started hyping up the game.

The Warriors' coaching staff also took it seriously, taking out the video of the Magic team in advance for the players to watch repeatedly.

At the same time, in the training, a variety of targeted coping tactics were made.

Although Zhou Yang showed that he was very calm, he had long longed for this game in his heart, and his heart was itching.

The Warriors flew to Orlando and were interviewed by the media that afternoon.

"Mr. Zhou Yang, the Magic team's defense is very strong, how do you think the Warriors' offense will unfold?"

"Yes, the Magic defensively do well, especially Howard, who has a lot of area, but our Warriors have a strong offense. In our ancient Chinese saying, it is the sharpest spear that meets the strongest shield! Wait and see! ”

Seeing that Zhou Yang spoke properly, the reporters nodded their heads and praised them.

"Stephen, your three-point shot hasn't been consistent lately, can you explain why?"

In fact, the reason is very simple, it is Curry's strength practice that affects his hand, but this is temporary.

"My three points are really shaky, why...... I don't know, but I'll do my best. ”

Curry said, turning his head and winking at Zhou Yang.

Both know it.

"Mr. Zhou Yang, your breakthrough efficiency in the previous game was very high, but against the Magic team, will your breakthrough decrease?"

"Reduce? Why is it decreasing, is it because Howard's defense is strong, I don't break through? It's impossible! ”

Zhou Yang assured the reporter that he would continue to break through!

If it were another player, the reporter would think he was bragging.

But Zhou Yang is famous for doing what he says, and reporters have written down his words.

……

On the Magic's side, Howard also spoke to the media.

Howard is now riding a spring breeze, with a second-place record in the East, third in the league, and just won six in a row.

And that six-game winning streak also includes a game for the Cavaliers.

So Howard was a little crazy.

"Howard, the Warriors' splash brothers, especially Zhou Yang, have been in the limelight lately, even against James, and in the game against the Bucks, he scored 71 points like crazy, do you think the Magic's defense can limit Zhou Yang?"

Howard grinned for a long time, then suddenly put away his smile and shook his fist violently!

"I will use my exclusive big hat to cover Zhou Yang from the north!"

Reporters were in an uproar.

Although it is normal to speak harshly before the game, Howard has obviously been paying attention to Zhou Yang for a long time, and the hostility is obvious.

Stars are often like this, if they are not a threat to themselves, they will boast and appear to be generous.

But when you encounter an opponent who is about the same status as yourself and may compete with yourself for honor, you must speak wildly before the game, and you must pull up the momentum!

This is one of the charms of competitive sports.

"For this match, the fans say that it is the sharpest spear that meets the strongest shield, do you agree with that?"

Howard pursed his lips disdainfully and said, "Who is the sharpest spear?" Zhou Yang? Haha, he's not worthy yet! Kobe Bryant, James can be called the sharpest spear, but even they can't take advantage of my defense! ”

"Besides, my offense is poor? I'm going to show you tonight how I turned the tide on the inside of the Warriors! ”

At this time, Howard was still known as the "Warcraft", except for Yao Ming, others really couldn't stabilize him.

……

The video of Howard's interview immediately went viral, and fans were hooked.

Especially Zhou Yang's black fans, they are active again.

They felt that Howard was in too good shape this season, leading the Magic to defeat the Lakers and Cavaliers in succession.

If it weren't for the Cavaliers' home record, the Magic might have been the best in the league.

So they handed over the "heavy responsibility" of defeating Zhou Yang to Howard.

Under the watchful eye, this Mars collision with the earth has begun!

7 p.m., Amway Arena, Orlando.

The Magic host the Golden State Warriors.

The Warriors' starting lineup is still Zhou Yang, Curry, Margetty, Jackson and Andries.

The Magic's starters are Howard, Vince Carter, Lewis, Nelson, Barnes.

Just when Zhou Yang came on the court, Howard pretended not to do it intentionally, walked past Zhou Yang, and bumped him with his shoulder.

Although the action was very slight and the referee would not care, Zhou Yang still felt the provocation of the monster.

If it was a home game, Zhou Yang would ignore him.

But this is an away game, and Zhou Yang needs to boost the morale of himself and his teammates.

So Zhou Yang shouted at Howard in a very loud voice: "Do you know that I have the habit of blocking big centers? ”

When Howard heard this, he turned his head and thought to himself, "This rookie is quite bold!"

"Then did you know that I have a habit of big hats?"

Both were loud and heard by players on both sides.

The photographer on the sidelines was very professionally sensitive, and immediately pointed several cameras at two people.

The referee felt that something was wrong and hurriedly came over to persuade the two to leave.

Good guys, before the game even started, the smell of gunpowder filled the field.

The Magic's home fans, of course, had to help their own stars, and they began to boo Zhou Yang and the Warriors.

Zhou Yang's anger was really stimulated.

The provocations of the past were only verbal.

But today, Howard actually bumped into himself as soon as he came up, isn't this just pure fault-finding?

Curry walked over, slapped his hands with Zhou Yang, and said with a firm expression: "We must win today!" We fight! ”

Zhou Yang didn't say anything, just smiled.
