Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

From Howard's perspective, he felt like his feelings were hurt!

Before the game, the outside world was advocating for a confrontation between Howard and Zuo Li. Howard himself thought so too. He thought Zuo Li would fight him head-on, which made him excited in the first three days.

For Howard, what could be more exciting than educating a fledgling rookie center.

Not to mention that Zuo Li has a high reputation now, and the outside world seems to regard him as a super rookie like Duncan and O'Neal who were at the peak of their debut.

The benefits to Howard of defeating such a rookie head-on are obvious. Even Howard can figure out the stakes on his own. You can imagine how great the benefits are.

Fame, attention, praise from the media, favor from fans~!

Howard was happier just thinking about it than going to nightclubs three times.

But who could have imagined that the story would unfold like this!

The person facing him against the famous Warcraft Howard was actually not Zuo Li, but Randolph, that damn fat guy!

This is simply deception!

Howard felt that he was being played, so he decided to use brutal playing methods to educate those on the opposite side who dared to play with him, and let them understand that it is terrible to anger a super center!

However, the facts in the first half tell us that angering a super center...is all?

Not that good either.

Howard not only showed his shortcomings against meat-shield insiders on the offensive end, but was also repeatedly beaten by Zuo Li with his speed and skills on the defensive end.

The huge gap between 6 points and 16 points at halftime finally let Howard's childish side burst out. Facing the reporters interviewing him at halftime, Howard said that Zuo Li was a coward and did not dare to confront him head-on. He also threatened to fight Zuo Li in the second half.

Fight with real swords and guns!

Howard really can't understand that Zuo Li is so cool when he plays like this. The outside world describes Zuo Li as a very passionate, brutal and iron-blooded player!

The reporter who was interviewing during the halftime interview was very happy. He liked to interview "simple" idiot players like Howard. He didn't need to lay any traps. If there was no trap, he would create a trap for himself and jump into it!

It is not difficult to imagine that no matter how the second half goes, Howard's remarks will become important news and talking points after the game.

In fact, there is no need for post-game, the midfield interviews are all broadcast live. After Howard finished speaking, the fans started complaining mode:

"After listening to Howard's words, I thought I was watching a 1v1 on the street... How can there be a forced one-on-one game?"

"Howard is worthy of being a high school student. Anyone who has been to college can say such a thing. He looks very uneducated."

"Back then, Iverson and Kobe were both the top four shooting guards. During the Finals, Iverson seemed to be guarded by a guy named Tyronn Lue."

"Stop it, man. I think Zuo Li played too smart. Although he didn't directly resist Howard in the first half, his use of help defense was the second reason for Howard's low offensive efficiency. Of course, the biggest reason is Howard's skills.

It’s too rough. It is said that he has been studying with Ewing for the past two months, and Zuo Li has also been studying with Ewing for a few months. Now the problem has been found, it is that he himself is too stupid!"

…

Barkley also complained mercilessly in the live broadcast room: "Howard should think about his own problems. My grandma can invest in all his opportunities!"

"That's an exaggeration." Smith wiped his sweat. Your words were harsher than O'Neal's: "But Howard really needs to strengthen his lower body strength."

Of course, in addition to Magic fans, Magic fans are now also complaining about Zuo Li along with Howard, saying that he is a softie and they don't dare to confront Howard physically.

But even tough-talking Magic fans can only admit that if they continue to play like this in the second half, the Magic is very likely to lose.

But just at the beginning of the third quarter, Zuo Li suddenly changed his style of play...

In the third quarter, the Knicks played on the left wing, with David Lee, Novak, Dragic and Ke Liu. This set was a purely offensive lineup, and the threat from the three-point line was equally huge. It was D'Antoni's latest attempt.

.

And this lineup is just right for the Magic's lineup, which also has a big inside guy with four shooters.

However, the difference was highlighted in the first attack.

The Magic team attacked. This time Zuo Li defended Howard alone for the first time. Howard was extremely excited and reached out to ask. Turkoglu picked and rolled and then passed the ball. Howard stuck out his big butt and wanted to hit him from behind.

To be honest, Zuo Li's current strength and confrontation are already at the top of the league, but he is only 50-50 with Howard, even 4-6. However, after Randolph's consumption in the first half, Zuo Li is now 6!

This is the biggest reason why the Knicks played like this in the first half. Randolph used it to consume Howard's physical energy. In the second half, it was time for Zuo Lixiu to operate!

Howard obviously underestimated Zuo Li's strength. He bumped into Zuo Li but didn't even knock him away!?

Howard visibly froze. If he hadn't been holding the ball in his hand, he would have wanted to scratch his bald head. What followed was an irritation. This was similar to the feeling of a strong man on the street being kicked away by Bruce Lee.

All in all, I’m very angry!

So he used all his strength to make Zuo Li pay the price. However, this angry blow did not have the touch he imagined. Howard only felt that all his strength was hitting the air.

As the world was spinning, Howard lost his body balance. He wanted to control it again, but I'm sorry, the force was too strong and he couldn't control it!

"Ah wu!!! Remove the stool~!" Barkley let out a weird cry.

Howard was sitting staggeringly on the floor with a confused look on his face. Over there, Zuo Li, who had just removed his stool, had already taken the opportunity to get the basketball, strode forward and started assisting.

This is the power of this lineup. There are five players on the fast break, and they all run to the four points of the three-point line. The Magic players do not dare not to guard, so they can only sit and watch the left and right dragons as if there is no one around.

He drove into the paint and completed the dunk!

This shot was very exciting. Zuo Li's dunk was powerful and heavy, and from a visual point of view, it was one against four. He shot in from among the four people, a brutal comparison!

But the focus of the fans was on Howard, who had just gotten up. Some fans couldn't stand it any longer and laughed online, saying, "Zuo Li is guarding you. This situation is as you wish."

Even Van Gundy on the sidelines rubbed his head hard. Howard's body is really good, but his brain is really average.

In real name, I feel sorry for Van Gundy’s few hairs.

After this ball, Howard lost all face. In the next offense, Howard got entangled with Zuo Li without the ball. The two exchanged trash talk. However, Zuo Li, who came out of the street, started trash talking.

Howard could withstand it, so Howard grabbed the position and waved his hand, Zuoli fell down with the trend.

The referee blew the whistle and Howard committed an offensive foul!

Howard angrily asked the referee for trouble, and the referee readily rewarded him with a technical foul...

Four offenses in the blink of an eye.

This time Howard completely needed to go down and calm down.

With the sky full of boos, he made six free throws. Then he took the ball from the sideline and ran back to the left. He caught the ball in the air and attracted the defense to score again. Novak raised his knife in the bottom corner!

4 points per round!

The point difference widened to 14 points in an instant, and the Magic was in danger.

"It's so smart, Zuo Li's playing is so smart!" Smith was really convinced now: "Kids, this is the way you should learn to play, brutal but smart."
