Build a Dream Dynasty
Chapter 199 First Half
Facts have proved that Van Gundy really dared not let Howard rest. Two minutes into the second quarter, Warcraft returned to the battle. At this time, the point 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 and Bass beside Howard to help him share the pressure of protecting the frame. Even though it was already a Magic team that had gone down from its peak period, it still made it difficult for the Nets to parry, and in that game, the Nets defended by Howard would doubt their lives.
However, in less than two years, the magic team's junk contracts have been traded continuously, and the deals are 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 take it. Glenn Davis is just a player who can't compete with the Celtics. That's how the contract was sold. Although this year's labor agreement gives each team the right to amnesty one player a season, this quota is obviously not enough for the Magic. If the right of amnesty could be traded, Jiang Mingliang would like to trade this right to the Magic.
Although the farce of the transaction spread throughout the season, after Howard promised to implement the player option for next season, the Magic finally did not trade Howard to a place he did not want to go. However, if he still insists on not renewing his contract, he is unwilling to fight The Magic will definitely still have to trade him, it’s nothing more than a matter of the offseason or before the trade deadline next season, so this year’s playoffs is likely to be Howard’s last playoff trip with the Magic, and he is also Desperately fired the last bullet for the team that has struggled for 8 years.
"Bang!", Howard and Baynes' first physical confrontation resulted in a tie, and then there was a point in his heart. He controlled the ball with his right hand. Every time the ball hit the floor, his body squeezed back, three times in a row Kung Fu, Howard has already taken two steps into the restricted area, this space is enough for Howard.
Gathering up all the strength in his body, it was an evenly matched confrontation just now, but Howard exerted his strength instantly and knocked Baynes out of the basket. Howard then jumped high and dunked the ball heavily into the basket with both hands.
In the past few years, the superstars who have made transfer rumors all regard 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 candidates. The infamy of "joining if you can't beat it" is not something everyone can bear.
As predicted by many experts, without using small ball tactics, Howard has become a serious problem for the Nets. It is indeed a problem that no one can withstand him. Including Rasheed Wallace, who was selected into the team by Stevens at the last moment, roaring that Tianzun is not ten years ago, there are talented people from generation to generation, he is really old!
Of course, Wallace's inability to play a role does not mean that the one that was not selected is the correct option. Judging from Camby's performance against All-Star insiders in the past, he is not good at all. 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 conflict between the two sides became public, and the two sides retained their respect for each other, and said goodbye until the end of the season.
Although Howard is powerful, he is not made of steel and iron, and he is still an insider, so the consumption of power amplifier is very large. In the last three minutes of the second quarter, the point difference has been narrowed to 4 points at a critical juncture. Jeremy Lin made a breakthrough layup and caused Howard's third foul. The situation on the court suddenly became delicate.
Stevens secretly clenched his fists in celebration on the long side, and this scene was also captured by photographers, which is also the turning point of this section of the game. 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 is bound to be bound! But if he is replaced, who can make up for this loss a little bit?
After weighing again and again, Van Gundy decided to take a gamble and not replace Howard for the time being.
Van Gundy understands the principle of going all out, then declining, and exhausting three times. If he doesn't take advantage of the victory to pursue at this time, and the point difference is opened again, the team's spirit will go down.
However, Howard, who is in a foul crisis, is obviously not at the same level of defensive deterrence as Howard in regular time. One thing that greatly limits Howard's performance is that the Magic's perimeter defense is so 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 a super center should be for outside players to do their own defensive work, and if there are any omissions, Howard will block them inside. The Magic's defense completely relies on Howard's system, and it can only be said that drinking poison to quench thirst is self-destruction.
At the end of the half, the Nets led by 10 points at 59:49. The point difference was not very big, but Stevens and Jiang Mingliang were more concerned about the Magic's use of Howard. In the two quarters, he has played nearly 21 minutes!
"Continue to strengthen the consumption of Howard, as long as Howard falls, we will surely win!" Stevens commanded his players in the locker room.
However, as soon as the third quarter started, before the players of the Nets consumed the Nets, an unexpected situation happened.
Nierny used Howard's pick-and-roll and missed a mid-range shot. Howard first pressed West and Baynes to grab the offensive rebound abruptly, and then dunked on the spot, and Baynes was almost hanging on him. Ernes couldn't pull it off either.
"Beep!"
When the whistle sounded, Howard not only scored a dunk, but also caused Baynes to foul, which has already led to Baynes' fourth foul in this game.
Baynes is the only reliable insider of the Nets. In order to ensure that the team still needs Baynes to play at a critical moment, Stevens had to replace him and let Braden Wright top superior.
After Wright came on the court, he was responsible for defending Howard. In an instant, the pressure on the Nets' offense and defense increased greatly!
Fortunately, Howard's extra penalty did not hit. After Wright received the rebound, he immediately handed the basketball to Jeremy Lin in front of him. Jeremy Lin cleverly divided the ball at this stage and assisted George to complete a dunk. For Howard, it was a response, a response between the team bosses.
Seeing that other people's backup point guards know when to attack the basket and when to pass, and seeing that his own main point guard only has the basket in his eyes, Van Gundy was furious.
Damn it, why is the draft pick so good?
Of course, with the Thunder re-electing Durant, Westbrook, and Harden at the top, the Nets can only compete for second place with this type of praise. Of course, it is already very good, at least enough to make the Magic Team envy.
