Chapter 276: Outwitting Howard

The official timeout was fast in the air, and the three referees watched Howard's slow-motion replay repeatedly around the technical table, before the three gathered around to discuss it violently.

Seeing that the time was about to end, the three referees finally reached a unification, and the referee on duty walked to the technical table to explain the situation to the statistician.

And all this was naturally listened to by the two commentators sitting next to him, and Hayward immediately said to the fans, "The results of the discussion of the three referees came out, in addition to Li Kaiming's shooting was fouled before, Dwight Howard also made unnecessary physical contact with the offensive player after the game whistle, and also attacked the offensive player's face, considering that there were no serious consequences, give Howard a first-degree malicious foul!" ”

As soon as the voice fell, the fans at the scene still broke out into a strong protest, and in the eyes of the fans at the mcI center, they all felt that Howard's action was too subjective and malicious, and he should be expelled directly.

As a result, not surprisingly, the audience began to boo the referee in unison, and some fans shouted "Garbage referee!" ”

This is the horror of home advantage, in fact, the three referees are still very fair, but in the eyes of the home fans, impartiality is the biggest partiality.

This is especially true in the playoffs, where every time a ball or free throw is made, it will cause the home crowd to boo, because all the fans are eager to get their players to the free throw line, and the opposite player will not blow it to death.

This is still a fair judgment, if there is a misjudgment, the referee's situation will be even more difficult, Emelica is not lacking in extreme talent, no referee dares to guarantee that he will not be shot from behind when he walks out of the court.

Therefore, under this kind of accumulated game running-in, home advantage or home whistle has become an unspoken rule that everyone knows.

Therefore, in NbA, not only are the players under tremendous pressure, but even the referee is not an easy job.

Of course, for this decision, the head coach of the Magic team, Stan Van Gundy, also symbolically protested with the referee, but everyone on both sides knew that it was impossible to change the decision, just to make a show to give the other party a step down.

Only when the head coach on the opposite side protests against the penalty will the home audience feel that they have taken advantage, which is to relieve the referee from the side.

Therefore, this NbA is not just about fighting and killing, but also about human feelings.

At the end of the timeout, the players on both sides returned to the court, and Li Kaiming at this time had returned to normal, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, he made two free throws and two free throws after walking to the free throw line, and then showed a mouthful of white teeth at Howard, who looked confused!

Howard was still glad that the referee had let him stay on the court, but when he suddenly saw Li Kaiming's toothless smile, his mind turned slightly, and he immediately felt his blood pressure surge wildly!

This idiot can see that this guy is pretending!

Howard only felt the world spinning at that moment, he was a two-time best defensive player, and he was actually played by a rookie!

Howard's breathing became heavy, his eyes widened, and after the blood vessels on his eyeballs were congested, he saw that his entire eyes were covered with red lines, and at this time he was like a bull enraged by a matador, eager to break that grinning boy to pieces!

After the free throw, Li Kaiming not only did not have the slightest look of fear after seeing Howard's angry appearance, but even showed a bright smile at the latter, and at the same time poked his head twice with his right index finger.

Playing ball is not only about your body, but also about your brain!

Howard only felt a buzz in his head, his blood surged, and his whole person was going crazy!

He involuntarily clenched his fists, pinched the knuckles of his fingers, and even took a step towards Li Kaiming, it seemed that he was going to come over and do it!

Before Li Kaiming could react, Magic teammates Arenas and Vince Carter stood in front of Howard, and both of them blocked the latter at the same time and persuaded Howard to calm down.

After being stopped by his teammates, Howard felt that his mind was a little clearer, this is not to say that he is impulsive, after all, he has also played for many years, and there is still some restraint that should be there, mainly because he was played by Li Kaiming in a row just now, and he was ridiculed by the latter when he was finished, and he immediately carried away with anger.

After being persuaded by his teammates to come down at this time, Howard glanced at Li Kaiming with hostility, and then withdrew from the three-point line.

This is followed by a first-degree foul with two free throws and one throw, where everyone except the player who made the free throw has to step out of the three-point line to eliminate interference with the person who takes the free throw.

The most accurate free throws in the Wizards team is naturally Li Kaiming, and he is also a victim of malicious fouls, so he naturally has to handle this free throw himself!

After clearing the irrelevant personnel in the three-point line, the referee gave the ball to Li Kaiming, who received the ball and bent his knees slightly, then raised his hand and fell, and scored two more points on both free throws!

At this time, the score on the big screen had become 6-5, and Li Kaiming scored 4 points on free throws alone.

And in addition, the offensive round after the end of this free throw is still the Wizards, which is the meaning of malicious fouls.

The Wizards sent the ball in the frontcourt, and Nick Young stood outside the sideline and gave the ball to Hinrich, and then immediately ran to the court, where Hinrich dribbled the ball on the outside and directed the Wizards players to run.

Li Kaiming moved from a 45-degree position to help Hinrich block Arenas, Hinrich took the opportunity to break through to the inside, and at the same time Li Kaiming also went down after blocking and dismantling, he was much faster than Hinrich without the ball, and the pace was very big, and he stepped to the free throw line in one step.

Hinrich's breakthrough caught the Magic's attention, and Ryan Anderson barely managed to keep himself in front of Hinrich while spreading his arms to distract from the latter's view.

Arenas followed behind, and Anderson showed a tendency to encircle, Hinrich did not panic at all, and after waiting for a second, he directly hit the ball and passed it to Li Kaiming, who went down to the penalty area.

As soon as Li Kaiming got the ball, Howard, who was squatting in the penalty area, and Anderson, who was originally defending Hinrich, turned around and wrapped it up.

Howard's defensive picks are very particular about how to interfere with Lee's shooting and not leave room for Brach.

Faced with this situation, Li Kaiming knew that hesitation would lead to defeat, so he did not hesitate at all after receiving the ball, and directly faced Howard's defensive throw.

I have to say that Howard's ability to protect the frame is really strong, and if Li Kaiming encounters any other center, he has a great deal of confidence to get it in.

But Howard's interference actually made this ball iron, and what is even more powerful is that after he interfered with Li Kaiming's shot, he could quickly turn around and jump twice, and then win the rebounding competition with Brach!

He is worthy of being the most awesome blue-collar player in history, and he can get a top salary for this defense alone.

And Howard also seemed to want to release the anger that had accumulated in his heart for a long time, the moment he grabbed the rebound, the two muscular arms suddenly exerted force, one hand held the ball first, and then the other hand slapped the basketball very vigorously, making a loud "pop", as if it was not the basketball in his hand, but Li Kaiming's head......

Arenas dribbled to the front court as usual, but this time he didn't have the ball on his own, and although his teammates had told him before the game that he could shoot as many shots as he could, Arenas knew he couldn't do that if he wanted to stay on the team.

The reason why he can shoot unrestricted with the Wizards is that, in his opinion, the highest status and the most capable person on the Wizards team is him, and this is his team, so he can play as much as he wants.

But now in this Magic team, Howard and Carter are not inferior to him, and if he starts to snatch the right to play before his ass is hot, it is not a wise choice to look at it.

Therefore, although Arenas really wanted to shoot every time he attacked, he couldn't do it, and could only comfort himself in his heart that winning the game was more important than his personal stats......

So after coming to the front court with the ball, Arenas first called Howard out to cover, and then waited for the latter to go down to the ground, Li Kaiming helped Bradge to help prevent Anderson, and Arenas found the latter directly and passed the ball over.

Anders took a shot straight after receiving the ball from mid-range, Li Kaiming was a step slower to defend, and Anderson scored two points.

6 to 7!

The Wizards attacked, and the Magic team had begun to strictly prevent Li Kaiming from being a cover man, and in desperation, Li Kaiming had no choice but to cover other teammates and use his offensive threat to open up space for them.

Hinrich broke through to the three-point line with the ball, found that there was little chance, but did not dare to attack the basket, so he had to pass the ball to Nick Young on the outside, Nick Young received the ball and took advantage of Li Kaiming's cover to step into the three-point line, and then shot back in the middle of the distance.

8 to 7!

The Magic team serves the ball from the bottom line, and the anger in Howard's heart has obviously not subsided, and he only wants to vent his anger by digging through the Wizards' interior defense, so he directly forgot that Arenas was the protagonist tonight, and after arriving in the frontcourt, he directly asked for the ball in the waist position, and received the ball and singled Bradge.

I have to say that it seems that every center has a dream of being a point guard, and Howard is no exception, many people say that he is rough, and he wants to make all kinds of bells and whistles in the restricted area to prove that he is a technical center, just like a tank anchor in later generations trying to prove that he is a good-looking anchor.

But the problem is that facts are facts, and it is useless to try to overturn them, Howard went from his back to a frame after receiving the ball, and then dropped the ball like a trained gorilla and slapped the ball twice awkwardly, but Bradch, who was standing across from him, was unmoved.

Why don't you have a basket at all, what are you frying four dishes and one soup? If I were to jump today, my Blatch surname would be written backwards!

Finding that his change of direction did not mobilize Brache's defensive focus, Howard gritted his teeth and began to squeeze under the basket!

Li Kaiming was happy when he stood next to him and saw this scene!

Looking at the two strokes in front of you, I thought you were going to make a technical step-back jumper, but in the end, you still relied on your body to push in?

Howard had average strength in his lower limbs, and now he didn't even have a speed advantage when dribbling the ball, so the ball was easily defended by Blatch, picked up the rebound and handed the ball to Hinrich to dribble to the frontcourt.

As for Li Kaiming, he is bad, after he came to the front court, he directly took Ryan Anderson to the same position as Howard to ask for the ball with his back, ready to give the surname Huo a lesson on the spot, let him see what Shenma is called basketball!
