Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 196: first half

Facts have proved that Van Gundy really dared not to let Howard rest. After two minutes of the second quarter, World of Warcraft re-entered the battle. At this time, the difference was 12 points, and the gap between the two sides was inadvertently widening.

Jiang Mingliang vaguely remembered that he faced the Magic for the first time after accepting the Nets. At that time, the Magic had Gortat beside Howard, and good players like Bass helped him share the pressure of rim protection. In time, it was a Magic team that went down from its peak period, still making it difficult for the Nets to resist, and in that game, Howard's defense of the Nets would doubt life.

However, in less than two years, the Magic's junk contracts were constantly being traded, and the deals came with even more junk contracts. Turkoglu's contract with an average salary of up to 12 million will not expire until 2014, and the Magic will dare to accept it. Glen Davis is just a player who can't compete with the old O'Neal in the Celtics. 28 million in 4 years That's how the contract was shot. Although this year's collective bargaining agreement gives each team the right to amnesty one player for one season, this quota is obviously not enough for the Magic. If this amnesty right can be traded, Jiang Mingliang can't wait to trade this right to the Magic.

Although the farce of the trade has been passed on for an entire season, after Howard promised to implement the player option for next season, the Magic finally did not trade Howard to a place he didn't want to go, but if he still insisted on not renewing his contract, then he would not be willing to play the game. The Magic will definitely still want to trade him, it's nothing more than the offseason or before the trade deadline next season. Therefore, this year's playoffs are likely to be Howard's last playoff trip with the Magic. He is also Desperately shot the last bullet for the team that has been fighting for 8 years.

"Bang!" The first physical confrontation between Howard and Baynes was evenly divided, and then he had a point in his heart. He controlled the ball with his right hand. Every time the ball hit the floor, he squeezed his body back, three consecutive hits. Kung Fu, Howard has taken two steps into the restricted area, this space is enough for Howard.

With enough strength, it was still a close confrontation just now, but Howard's instant force knocked Baynes out of the basket. Howard immediately jumped high and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands.

In recent years, the superstars who have made transfer rumors have regarded the Nets as their ideal next home, and Howard is no exception. However, if the Magic lose to the Nets in this round of the series, then he will remove the Nets from his candidacy, and the infamy of "joining if you can't beat it" is not something everyone can afford.

As many experts predicted, without using small ball tactics, Howard has become the Nets' confidant, and it is indeed a problem that no one can withstand him. Including Rasheed Wallace, who was selected by Stevens at the last moment, Roaring Tianzun is not ten years ago, there are talented people in the country, he is really old!

Of course, just because Wallace didn't work doesn't mean that the one he didn't pick is the right option. Judging from Camby's past performance against the All-Star insider, he's not at all good either. More importantly, Lopez, who was injured, and Pavlovic, who was also not selected for the playoffs, chose to be present to cheer for the team, but Camby did not appear on the sidelines to support the team. The contradictions between the two sides are made public, and the two sides retain their respect for spraying, and say goodbye until the end of the season.

Although Howard is powerful, he is not a steel frame after all, and he is still an insider, and the consumption of a power amplifier is very large. In the last three minutes of the second quarter, the score difference has been reduced to a critical juncture of 4 points. Jeremy Lin made a driving layup and caused Howard's third foul. The situation on the court suddenly became subtle.

Stevens secretly excitedly clenched his fists in celebration on the long side. This scene was also captured by the photographer, which was also the turning point of the competition in this section. As the backbone of the team's defense, Howard made three fouls, which also put Van Gundy in a dilemma. Continue to put Howard on the court, not to mention that the main direction of the Nets is him, even Howard himself will inevitably be tied! But if he is replaced, who can make up for this loss a little?

After weighing it again and again, Van Gundy decided to take a gamble and not replace Howard for the time being.

Van Gundy understands the principle of one rush, another failure, and three failures. If the team does not pursue the victory at this time, the score difference will be widened again, and the team's anger will go down.

However, Howard in the foul crisis is obviously not the same level of defensive deterrence as Howard in regular time. One thing that limits Howard's performance is that the Magic's perimeter defense is too bad. Jeremy Lin, George and even Leonard's breakthroughs are so easy that Howard can't block them.

The correct way for a team to use the super center should be that the perimeter players do their own defensive work, and if there are any omissions, Howard will block them in the interior. The Magic team's defense completely relies on Howard's system, and it can only be said that drinking poison to quench thirst and commit suicide.

At the end of the half, the Nets led by 10 points 59:49. The difference was not very big, but Stevens and Jiang Mingliang were more concerned about the Magic's use of Howard. In two quarters, he has played nearly 21 minutes!

"Continue to strengthen the consumption of Howard. As long as Howard falls, we will win!" In the locker room, Stevens directed his players.

However, as soon as the third quarter started, before the Nets players could consume the Nets, something unexpected happened.

Neil Monk used Howard's pick-and-roll to miss a mid-range shot. Howard first pressed West and Baines to grab the offensive rebound, followed by pulling up the dunk on the spot, almost hanging on him. Ence couldn't pull it off either.

"Di-!"

The whistle sounded~www.NovelMTL.com~ Howard not only scored a dunk, but also caused a foul by Baines, which has already received Baines's fourth foul of the game.

Baynes is the only reliable inside line for the Nets. In order to ensure that if the next critical moment comes, the team still needs Baynes to play. Stevens had to replace him and let Braden Wright top. superior.

After Wright came on the court, he was in charge of defending Howard. In an instant, the pressure on the Nets' inside attack and defense increased greatly!

Fortunately, Howard's penalty did not hit. After Wright received the rebound, he immediately handed the basketball to Jeremy Lin in front. Jeremy Lin cleverly scored the ball at this stage and assisted George to complete a dunk. For Howard, it was a response, a response between the team leaders.

Seeing that someone else's backup point guard knows when to attack the frame and when to pass the ball, and then see that his own master only has the basket in his eyes, Van Gundy is not angry.

Damn it, how come you have such a good eye for the draft?

Of course, with the Thunder re-selecting Durant, Westbrook, and Harden, the Nets can only compete for the second place. Team envy.
