legendary point guard

"Stan did not replace Dwight, but continued to keep him on the court. Obviously Stan believed that Dwight could control his emotions. Sir Charles, what do you think?"

"I'm not optimistic about Stan's decision. I won't tell you the specific reasons. I will tell reporters after the game. That is Charles's exclusive opinion." Barkley snorted.

Lin Sen received Howard's serve and did not rush to dribble forward. Instead, he slowly dribbled the ball forward. After all his teammates were in position, Lin Sen almost illegally dribbled the ball past half court within eight seconds.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that Ben Wallace directly hugged Dwight Howard who was stationed inside. Naturally, Javi would not turn a blind eye and immediately blew the whistle.

"Yes, it's just as I guessed. I knew that Scott's smile when he saw Dwight not being substituted just now was malicious. If so, they will implement the tactic of killing Huo in the next period of time. This

It will seriously disrupt Orlando's arrangement. If Dwight doesn't make more free throws, Chicago will probably catch up with the score by using Ho's slash during this period." Barkley said happily.

"Are you sure you thought Chicago would use this tactic?" Kenny Smith turned to look at Barkley, "To be honest, your head capacity makes me doubt what you just said."

Howard, who was hugged by Ben Wallace on the court, shook his hands in frustration, then walked to the baseline to prepare to serve.

However, Howard had just given the ball to Turkoglu, and Noccioni also hugged Howard.

Two consecutive naked fouls made Howard, who was already in a very unhappy mood, almost jump up, but Turkoglu caught Howard in time.

"Dwight, calm down, can't you see that they just want to get you off in this way? Don't be fooled by them." Lin Sen pulled Howard and said.

When Turkoglu passed the ball to Linsen, Noccioni pounced on Howard again and hugged Howard directly. Jarvi blew the whistle for the third time.

"Although this is a tactic that I used before, I still have to say that this tactic is really disgusting. Of course, if Dwight can improve his free throws, no one will use this tactic against him." Barkley

So said.

"It's the third consecutive foul. Looking at this situation, Chicago has made up its mind to let Dwight go to the free throw line. They are betting on Dwight's free throw. In fact, I feel that Stan should replace Dwight. Dwight is not in the mood right now.

Well, if Dwight loses his mind, it would be a nightmare for Orlando, and Chicago had very few fouls in the first half, which would undoubtedly make them take turns to kill Ho. What would Stan choose?" Kenny Smith looked at the station.

Stan Van Gundy on the sidelines.

Stan Van Gundy crossed his arms and looked at the court coldly. He was thinking about whether to replace Howard. However, the fourth foul occurred immediately after Howard passed the ball. This time the foul was committed on Howard.

Hinrich.

The entire Waterhouse Center was filled with boos, but the Chicago Bulls players turned a blind eye.

Lin Sen looked at the position of the Bulls players and thought about it in his mind.

Howard served the ball out again, and the ball went straight to Lin Sen. At the same time, Howard walked directly onto the court.

Ben Gordon, who had only committed one foul, jumped up and hugged Howard. Lin Senju had the right opportunity when Ben Gordon hugged Howard and threw the ball directly to the basket.

beep!

The whistle sounded again, and the ball thrown by Lin Sen also flew towards the basket.

"Wood is so smart, maybe..." Before Kenny Smith could finish his words, the ball hit the backboard and bounced into the basket.

"Haha, Chicago is in tragedy this time. They wanted to foul Dwight, but Wood stole it. Javy's gesture indicated that there would be an additional penalty in the three-point calculation. Of course, the additional penalty was left to Dwight.

We still have to look at the replay video for the specific situation," Barkley said with a smile.

"This ball doesn't count, it doesn't count!" Bulls head coach Scott Skiles shouted to Jarvis, the first referee on the court.

Javi and the two assistant referees walked to the technical table on the sidelines, preparing to check the video to determine whether the ball should be Lin Sen's three-pointer not including Howard's two free throws, or Lin Sen's three-pointer and Howard's extra penalty.

"The ball was indeed thrown before Ben Gordon fouled. The time difference between the two is too small, but high technology can still let us understand. Scott must be very depressed. I don't know if he will do this again."

Play." Barkley said with a smile.

"Wood did a great job, **, they know how good we are this time." Howard and Linsen high-fived and walked to the free throw line excitedly.

However, Howard missed the extra free throw, but Lin Sen's three-pointer put Howard in a good mood. Even though he missed the free throw, he still ran to the backcourt with high spirits.

"Dwight didn't seem sad at all about missing the extra free throw, while Scott looked excited, even though a few seconds ago his face was stretched because of Wood's three-pointer." Kenny.

Smith looked at Scott Scales on the sidelines and said.

At 63:82, the Orlando Magic once again narrowed the point difference to 19 points because of Lin Sen's three-pointer.

The Chicago Bulls, who returned to the offensive end, finally missed the first goal of the second half. However, Howard just passed the ball to Lin Sen and was directly hugged by Hinrich when he came out. Lin Sen, who was still in the backcourt, threw the ball.

, but this time the distance is too far and the shot is a little slow even if it goes in, it won't count.

"Scott is really planning to carry out the Ho-Haw tactic to the end. Let's see Dwight's free throws, shall we?" Kenny Smith looked at a depressed Howard walking to the free throw line.

"clang!"

With a crisp sound, Howard's free throw hit the basket directly. Lin Sen also saw other people's free throws. No one was as stiff as Howard. In fact, Howard's free throw shooting rate was basically maintained at 100% during the team's flat-field training.

Sixty-five and above.

"Dwight missed the first free throw, let's look at the second one."

As soon as Barkley finished speaking, Howard threw the ball, but what he heard was still the sound of the frame hitting.

Ben Wallace blocked the people who were trying to seize the ground, watched the ball pop out of the frame, jumped up and steadily took the ball into his hands.

"Both missed free throws. Look at Scott's smile. It's obvious that he has planned this for a long time. I believe he will not give up his method of success in these two times."

The Chicago Bulls, who returned to the offensive end, played very patiently. In the end, the Bulls succeeded with Hinrich's pull-up jump shot off the screen.

65:82, the Chicago Bulls are still 17 points behind.

The Magic, who had just served, once again encountered a hacking tactic. Dwight Howard once again walked to the free throw line and rolled the first free throw into the basket with difficulty.

"Dwight finally scored a free throw. Scott replaced Andres and replaced PJ. Obviously he came up for a foul. The most unfavorable news for Orlando is undoubtedly that everyone in Chicago now has enough

Foul opportunity." Kenny Smith said looking at the statistics.

Howard, who had just scored a free throw, failed to make the second free throw. The Bulls got the defensive rebound and quickly counterattacked with all their strength. However, this counterattack was blocked by Howard. The moment Lin Sen grabbed the defensive rebound, P.J. Brown hugged him again.

Howard.

"If I were Stan, I would replace Dwight decisively instead of leaving Dwight on the court." Barkley said.

"But Scott wants to give Stan a chance to replace Dwight. At least these few minutes are enough." Kenny Smith added.

Howard went to the free throw line again and missed the first free throw, but his second one went into the basket.

65:84, the Magic lead the Bulls by 19 points.

However, the Bulls did not give up the tactic of cutting Huo because Howard made one of two free throws in these two free throws. Instead, they made up their mind to carry out the tactic of cutting Huo to the end.

The game was completely shattered by the Bulls' shameless slashing tactics. Howard, who had just made two free throws, only hit two goals in the next five free throws, while the Chicago Bulls seized the opportunity and scored three times.

.

"At 73:86, Chicago chased down the 24-point deficit to only 13 points. At this moment, there are still 6 minutes to go before the end of the third quarter. It will be really dangerous if Stan does not replace Dwight."

Kenny Smith said.

In these few minutes, Lin Sen did not make any serious shots except catching the ball and throwing it directly to the basket when the Bulls fouled, and none of these random throws succeeded.

"4 of 17 free throws, and there are still 6 full minutes left for Chicago to foul. Of course, the premise is that Dwight does not come off the field, otherwise Dwight is likely to set the record for the number of free throws in a single quarter in NBA playoff history, and the free throw record

The holder is Shaq, who also has difficulty shooting free throws. It was created by Shaq on behalf of the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals against the Portland Trail Blazers on May 20, 2000. Scottie, who is now in the Orlando lineup, is a witness to the record at that time.

Man." Kenny Smith said as he looked at Scottie Pippen on the bench.

The sky-wide boos hit the eardrums of the Chicago Bulls players, not to mention the fans in front of the TV, but the Bulls players continued to carry out the tactic of cutting Huo to the end without any scruples.

When the game reached the 4th minute of the third quarter, Howard stood on the free throw line for the 13th time in the third quarter. In the previous 13 times, he stood on the free throw line and made a total of 25 free throws. He only made 7 goals. The number of 25 free throws had already been

It tied Shaquille O'Neal's record for free throws in a single quarter of the playoffs, and this time he stood on the free throw line and officially announced that O'Neal's record has become history.

"I think this game has caused crazy discussions after the game. The Chicagoans used a tactic that was despised by countless people to close the huge 24-point difference to 8 points. Now Dwight once again steps to the free throw line and is destined to win the game.

Gram's record has become history, but Dwight also created the history of free throws in a single quarter. Wow, Dwight scored the first free throw. He improved his free throws in this quarter to 8 of 26. Let's take a look.

His second free throw." Kenny Smith said looking at Howard on the free throw line.

clang!

The moment Howard took the shot, Lin Sen felt the stiffness of Howard's arm and wrist, and almost pushed the ball out. Lin Sen knew that the ball would not go in. Lin Sen, who wanted to rush in and hit the backboard, was blocked.

Hinrich blocked it, and Lin Sen could only watch as Ben Wallace grabbed the defensive rebound.

But Lin Sen also thought about whether to let Russ Edison try. Since Russ Edison can find his bad habits in mid-range shooting and change his shooting, why can't he change Howard's?

Anyway, that company has its own investment. Once Howard's free throw shooting percentage increases from the current poor 50% to 70%, it will be a huge benefit for him and the Magic. Thinking of this, Lin Sen

He decided to call David Falk immediately after the game.

Ben Wallace handed the defensive rebound to Kirk Hinrich, and Hinrich immediately drove the ball forward.

At this time, many Bulls players were carrying 3 to 4 fouls. You can imagine that the Chicago Bulls' tactics of cutting Huo were frantic.

"Andres screened, Kirk broke through... He chose to distribute the ball, Deng, Deng received the ball and directly chose to break through!" Kenny Smith shouted loudly, only to see Lohr who received Hinrich's breakthrough ball.

Deng swatted the ball and headed straight for the basket.

"Is Deng going to hit Dwight again?" Barkley looked at Luol Deng. Bulls fans immediately thought that the first offense at the beginning of the second half was Luol Deng playing directly under Howard's defense.

The Yankou.

Dwight Howard was already very angry by the Bulls' foul tactics. When he saw Luol Deng rushing in and heading directly towards him, he immediately thought of Luol Deng's dunk at the beginning of the second half.

.

With the anger in his heart and the initial humiliation, Howard's eyes were full of anger. He turned around and raised his right hand high, wanting to show Luo Er Dengzi.

Luol Deng, who rushed toward the Magic paint with the ball, showed no sign of weakness. He seemed to act as if Howard, who was not far away, did not exist. He clapped the ball again with both hands, hugged the ball tightly, and took a step forward.

"Oh, Deng seems to be planning to give Dwight another face-to-face-dunk (Note: 1)." Kenny Smith looked at Luol Deng who was rushing towards Howard without blinking his eyes.

Bang!

Luol Deng stepped heavily on the floor, pulled the ball behind his head with his right hand, and faced Howard's defense with his chest raised.

Bulls fans were very excited. They were looking forward to Luol Deng dunking on Howard for the second time.

Bang!

There was a violent collision between the two bodies. Howard was already prepared. Luol Deng felt like he was about to be knocked away. He pressed his left hand directly on Howard's chest to stabilize his body. At the same time, he gritted his teeth with his right hand.

Smashed the ball towards the basket.

"Oh...no..." Magic fans at the scene couldn't bear to watch Howard being dunked again.

Howard, who was supported by Luol Deng, also knew that he was likely to be dunked again. The resentment in his stomach for being fouled so many times and the depression of being dunked suddenly burst out.

Snapped!

Howard's right hand did not hit the ball in Luol Deng's hands but directly hit Luol Deng's shoulder.

Under Howard's full slap, Luol Deng lost his center of gravity and fell out.

Toot! Toot! Toot! Toot!

Javier blew the whistle continuously and immediately stood between the Magic and Bulls players.

Bang!

Luol Deng fell heavily to the floor. Lin Sen could feel the vibration of the floor. Lin Sen immediately felt that something bad had happened. If Howard's foul was serious, it would definitely be a bad thing for the Magic.

Couldn't be worse news.

The moment Luol Deng fell to the ground, the whole scene immediately became chaotic.

"If you have the courage to stand up, you coward, I will tell you what it feels like to fist." Ben Wallace waved his fist at Howard. If he hadn't been held by Noccioni, he would probably have been in the center of the water house.

Perform a full martial arts exercise.

"God, things have gotten so bad. Deng doesn't know if there is anything wrong, but the nature of Dwight's foul just now is really bad. Although I understand his frustration, I still want to say that his foul this time is unsportsmanlike.

Morally, he is likely to pay a big price for this. This is terrible news for Orlando, but first we still have to check on Deng and hope he is okay." Kenny Smith looked at the man on the floor.

Deng.

Lin Sen pulled Howard behind him and walked towards Luol Deng, but was pushed away by Ben Gordon: "Get away."

Seeing Lin Sen being pushed away, Howard, who was a little dazed just now, became angry again. He helped Lin Sen and Howard rushed forward: "What the hell do you want to do?"

However, the intervention of stadium security prevented Howard from escalating the situation. Stan Van Gundy shouted loudly off the court: "Pull it down, pull it down." He regretted not replacing Howard, but now it was too late to regret it.

, he hopes that the league's punishment for Howard can be lighter.

With the help of three referees and four or five security guards, the situation was brought under control, and Luol Deng was helped to the sidelines. However, it seemed that the problem was not a serious problem, just a bruise. This also made Lin Sen relieved. As an athlete

He naturally knew that it would be dangerous enough to lose his center of gravity and fall if he didn't complete all the movements, let alone being knocked down.

After Javie communicated with Stan Van Gundy, he insisted that Howard's foul just be classified as a second-level flagrant foul and be ejected directly. Stan Van Gundy closed his eyes in pain. The second-level flagrant foul meant that Howard would be suspended for at least one game.

Ben Wallace and Ben Gordon were each whistled for a technical foul, and Lin Sen was also whistled for a technical foul. Although Lin Sen originally wanted to see Luol Deng's situation, Javi still gave him a technical foul.

Heavy penalties.

In addition, Rodman, who left his seat and walked to the sidelines, was also called for a technical foul.

However, for Chicago fans, this penalty, especially Howard's expulsion, is undoubtedly a huge benefit, especially the penalty for the second-level flagrant foul. They believe that Chicago's reversal journey is coming, and even advancement is not a luxury. (

To be continued.)
