I am Really an Insider

Wayne was really sad watching the walkers being massacred.

I was sad for three full seconds.

I'm not sad for those three little ones, but I'm sad for my once good big brother, Xiao Ao.

On the basketball court, it was like Yao Ming finished torturing Baby Shark, and then Baby Shark finished torturing Yao Ming.

It's really a bit pitiful.

Xiao Ou has been plagued by injuries over the years and has lost his star halo.

Ranked third in the MVP rankings that year, he was considered the best power forward in the league after KG and Deng Dai, and was the core of the championship that year.

Nowadays, they can only be ravaged by Yao Ming and the young sharks.

Time is not forgiving, and injuries are like tigers.

Fortunately, Xiao Ao in this history has a ring and won a championship.

Moreover, he still won the championship as a core player.

This is much better than the original fate, and Barkley is envious of it.

So, just feel heartbroken for three seconds.

Three seconds after Xiao Ao felt heartbroken, Wayne was filled with energy again.

Next up is Orlando Magic, which will undoubtedly be a tough battle.

But seeing Kobe act like that in front of the camera, Wayne didn't want to admit defeat.

Look at your shame!

Still doing it, even comparing to 10 in front of the camera.

If I lose to the Lakers again, I will stand on my head

Forget it, it’s a basketball game, anything can happen, cough cough

The main reason is that the Magic are really not weak, with 10 wins and 2 losses, which is similar to the Trail Blazers' 10 wins and 1 loss.

If the Blazers lose the next game, wouldn't they also be 10 wins and 2 losses?

This magic now is completely different from before. The arrival of Lewis and Stan Van Gundy allowed this team to directly complete the ultimate evolution.

He went from a low-level soldier to a yellow-haired delinquent.

As soon as he woke up the next day, Wayne received a text message from Howard.

"I'm in Portland, see you tonight!"

Well, Howard texts Wayne almost every time he plays on the road.

And this text message was sent as if he was coming to Portland to hang out with Wayne.

Happy Beast is still as energetic as ever. He was so happy when he lost before, but now he will definitely be happier when he can win.

"I'll wait for you to kill me tonight, so work hard."

Wayne was originally going to reply to Happy Beast like this, but after thinking about it, he deleted the sentence of "work hard."

Please give some thought to your sister-in-law.

If Happy Beast really rolls up his sleeves and works hard, God knows what his sister-in-law will go through.

Five of the top ten goals?

After replying to the text message, Wayne rushed to the arena to participate in this morning's pre-game tactical meeting.

It can be seen that McMillan still attaches great importance to the opponent Magic.

The Eastern Conference this season is different from last season. Last season, there was really no one in the Eastern Conference that could compete, not even one.

But this season, although the overall strength of the Eastern Conference is still not as good as the Western Conference, at least the Celtics and Magic are really strong.

In the morning tactical meeting, McMillan also analyzed the semicircle tactics that have made the Magic team successful this season, including one big, four small, and one star and four shooting tactics.

Stan Van Gundy can be said to have completely liberated Howard. Master Huo can only change mousse. I really have to thank Van Gundy.

If it weren't for Van Gundy, Howard would never have reached such heights.

First of all, Howard is a player with very obvious advantages and disadvantages.

He has no low-post skills, no mid-range shooting, and no support. Although Ao Pang seems to rely on his body to crush his opponents, in fact his low post skills are very superb.

Therefore, if you ask Howard to play low-post singles or high-post pick-and-rolls, the effect will not be good.

This is the reason why Howard has not averaged 20 points per game in the past few seasons.

But Howard has two advantages on the offensive end - explosive off-ball cutting and secondary offense.

As a result, Van Gundy tailored this star-studded tactic based on Howard.

All four players are pulled outside the three-point line, and a tall playmaker is arranged.

Then, let Howard use his running and jumping ability to bully the opponent's center.

Of course, it was mentioned earlier that Howard was unable to respond well and his ability to play the ball was poor.

It stands to reason that if he is double-teamed, it will be difficult for Howard to continue to run the offense efficiently and smoothly.

But Van Gundy was just a rogue when he arranged four people who could shoot three-pointers to play!

No matter how bad you are at passing the ball, Howard, as long as you can pass the ball to one of them, it's an opportunity.

Four people, don’t say you can’t spread the word again.

As a result, Howard has averaged 22.3 points per game so far this season.

Take a player with almost no independent offensive ability and no offensive skills. It's already amazing that he can get this score just by rushing and dunking.

Of course, there is no perfect basketball strategy in this world. Although Van Gundy's tactics are very suitable for the Magic and although they bring out the maximum value of Happy Beast, they are not the most perfect.

At this point, McMillan couldn't help but glance at Wayne.

"Van Gundy's system has two biggest shortcomings. The first is that it cannot guard against super insiders, such as Yao Ming. Well, there is only Yao Ming in the league.

But we can take advantage of the second disadvantage. Wei, you have to perform well in tonight's game. "

Wayne nodded. Needless to say, he knew what this second shortcoming was.

On the evening of November 21st, Rose Garden Arena.

Although this game was not broadcast live across the United States, it still attracted a lot of attention.

You know, Howard is a very popular player now.

Who wouldn't like a sunny boy who has outstanding performance in leading the team, has a pleasing playing style, and also likes to laugh and be funny?

The peak of Howard's popularity has been in the past few years.

Although his skills are rough and he does not have a strong desire to win, this does not affect him from becoming a good idol.

Of course, Lord Barker has never been interested in Howard.

Before the start of today's game, he also talked about this topic again: "I have never seen any great center with a playful smile."

Barkley began to eliminate this popular idol as soon as he came up.

"People love him so much because of one reason - he is harmless. He will not hurt your favorite team or your favorite star. He will only smile and perform dunks for you again and again.

He is suitable for dunk contests, but not suitable for real battles.

They may still perform well in the regular season, but in the playoffs, everyone will know what I mean.

Wayne is different, him."

Kenny Smith on the side was speechless. Why did he lick it again?

Aren't you talking about Happy Beast?

If you don't lick Wayne for a day, you will feel uncomfortable all over!

Although Buckley spoke a bit bluntly, he really hit the nail on the head.

He could see that Howard was not the kind of player who was willing to give everything he had for the championship, not the kind of player who said, "I will kill you today, and I will drag you down even if I die."

This kind of temperament that cannot be specifically quantified is precisely indispensable on the way to the championship.

In last season's Western Conference Finals, if Wayne, who was forced into a desperate situation in Game 6, did not have the determination to fight to the death, then the Lakers would be the absolute favorite to advance to the Finals.

That's what's missing from Howard.

The Magic's sudden emergence this season has fans talking about it.

But Barkley knew there was no way this team could become truly dominant.

At the scene, Happy Beast smiled and hugged Wayne.

Well, there was no time when the two sides played against each other that Howard didn't smile.

Later, he also greeted Paul and Sun Yue respectively. He was really a friendly heartthrob.

But on the bench, Stan Van Gundy's expression was very serious!

The coach, who had finally escaped from the control freak Pat Riley, was eager to prove himself in Orlando.

In the Heat, although Van Gundy's coaching record is excellent, he feels like he is just Riley's puppet.

Which coach would want his work to be interfered with?

What's even more embarrassing is that after Riley completely took over the head coaching position, the Heat won the championship.

Van Gundy was really embarrassed at the time.

So, he came to Orlando, to a place where he could build a lineup according to his own ideas.

He is eager to make a career here and tells Riley that I can do well without you!

Van Gundy is very eager to win, not just in the regular season, he is eager for a championship!

Therefore, he has been committed to shaping Howard into a true superstar.

It's a pity that Howard doesn't have Wade's fierceness.

Wade said he would give you 9 points, but Howard would always give you 10 points with a smile.

But it doesn't matter, Van Gundy can wait until Howard truly matures.

Anyway, the team's core lineup of Howard, Turkoglu and Lewis still have the opportunity to work together for several years.

Turkoglu's contract will not expire until 2009 at the earliest.

Van Gundy is patient.

But against a truly top team in the league like the Trail Blazers, Van Gundy still hopes that Howard can go all out.

He really wants to know how big the gap is between his team and the real top team!

Well, a head coach is more enthusiastic than the star players who play on the court. That’s right.

The game is about to begin, and the starting lineups of both teams are in place.

The Magic's starting lineup is still a little different from the lineup that reached the Finals in the original history, but the difference is not big.

The starting five are point guard Nelson, shooting guard Keith Bogans, small forward Turkoglu, power forward Lewis and Happy Beast.

The characteristic of this team is obvious, that is, everyone except Howard can shoot three-pointers.

Nelson's three-point shooting percentage this season is as high as 41.6%, and Bogans' three-point shooting percentage so far this season is also 37.2%.

Turkoglu averaged 5.1 three-pointers per game and shot 40% from the field.

Not to mention Lewis, except for his rookie season, he has never had a three-pointer in any season in his career.

Turkoglu and Lewis are two heavy cannons who can often use their height advantage to complete shots against their opponents.

Howard is really lucky. Other teams have already spent a lot of money to train rookies.

The Magic built their lineup directly around Howard.

Maybe it's because this team is still sad to let Shaq go.

So they cherish the top pick in their hands very much.

After the game started, Howard naturally relied on his superhuman leap to get the ball first.

My sister-in-law's matchbox bounce had no choice but to be defeated.

As soon as he came up, Turkoglu slowly took the ball and advanced, a bit like Wayne playing point guard last season.

As a typical European forward, Turkoglu has solid basic skills and accurate shooting. The most surprising thing is his great passing vision and organizational ability.

European players themselves are good at team fighting, not to mention that Turkoglu further received the influence of team basketball in his early years with the Kings and Spurs.

This has kept his ability to fight as a team to this day.

Of course, this also means that Turkoglu is a system player.

Outside of Van Gundy's framework, he is not that good.

After Turkoglu went up with the ball, Happy Beast immediately stepped forward to cover.

Warcraft-Turkoglou pick-and-roll, this is the most commonly used starting method when the Magic attack.

In an instant, the other three members of the Magic team pulled outside the three-point line, and the entire penalty area was vacated.

Turkoglu broke through the screen, and Uduka couldn't get around Howard's strong body.

So, my sister-in-law had to make up for the delay in Turkoglu.

There is a price to pay for allowing the Turk to shoot. He is averaging just under 20 points per game this season.

However, in this delayed moment, Howard, who has extraordinary running and jumping abilities, slipped in.

Turkoglu made a light pass and sent the ball to Howard who cut in.

When my sister-in-law turned around to chase back, the monster had already jumped up and smashed the ball into the frame.

You can say that Howard has many shortcomings, but his physical fitness is really the best among the best!

"boom!"

The basket made a loud noise, and a classic magic attack was completed!

This season, Howard doesn't have to work hard to get a position or fight with his opponents, and he can easily get the opportunity to attack the frame.

When Warcraft let go and fell from the basket, the basket made a "creak" sound.

The destructive power of a dunk is truly terrifying.

"Beautiful coordination. Dwight was full of energy as soon as he came on. Gasso was in big trouble today. This season, he can't easily handle Howard."

Bill Walton, who was commentating on the game, shook his head. Gasol was probably going to be in the top ten again today.

Oh, he was ranked among the top ten.

Wayne shrugged at Gasso. There was nothing he could do about it. This was what the Magic did.

But it doesn't matter, because next, Wayne will also start his own performance.

The second major shortcoming of Van Gundy's system is that it blurs the boundaries of the fourth position because it requires a big man who can shoot.

Although Lewis is tall, he played most of his career as a small forward, or small forward style.

Well, although Wayne also plays as a small forward, he can also operate in the low post, which is very different from Lewis.

The biggest problem with Lewis playing the fourth position is that he is prone to secretions on the defensive end.

Therefore, the task McMillan gave Wayne this morning was to kill Mr. Billion Dollar.

Wayne said he was very willing to do this job. If he wanted to fight, he would fight the one with the highest value.

The Trail Blazers attacked, and Lewis looked at Wayne's malicious smile and felt a chill down his spine.

Brother Wei, promise me, gently.

Today I have to take the elderly at home back to the countryside, so Lao Ge may only be able to watch two shifts today. Take a day off and get back to normal tomorrow.
