Chapter 49 Deducted
Howard made free throws and made one of two free throws.
The two teams scored 2:1.
The Mavericks offense.
Although coach Carlisle is not very confident about whether to win this game, he also analyzed the obvious advantages and disadvantages of the two teams.
The Magic’s offense is indeed not good defensively, but the Magic also have a defensive disadvantage. Carlisle’s offensive tactics for the team are based on Nowitzki’s advantage over Lewis in the mid-range position.
Rashard Lewis is a famous three-point shooter in the league, but his defense has been criticized. Carlisle is ready to use the Magic’s weakness in this position to amplify his own strengths.
The Mavericks offensive effect on the game is also as head coach Carlisle envisioned, Nowitzki singles Lewis is relatively easy, the efficiency is very good.
And Howard, who guarded the inside line, felt that Wang Dachun still had a certain degree of danger inside, and he did not dare to come out to help defend Nowitzki.
But after two or three rounds, Howard was a little anxious, and when he defended again, he took the initiative to exchange defensive positions with Lewis, and he went to defend Nowitzki.
Kidd saw Howard leave the penalty area to defend Nowitzki in the mid-range, so he made a tactical gesture to Wang Dachun.
First transfer the ball to Nowitzki, Nowitzki holds the ball to Howardella to a position outside the free throw line, and then passes the ball to Green.
After receiving the ball, Green ignored the defending player and threw the ball. The basketball flew to the penalty area. Wang Dachun in the penalty area jumped high and pushed the basketball into the basket against Lewis’s defense. The air-receiving tactic was successful.
Howard saw that Lewis couldn’t defend Wang Dachun’s goals at all, and he didn’t dare to change defenses casually. After all, the field goal percentage is much higher than that of mid-range goals.
With the battle between the two teams, the Magic’s outside shooter shooting rate is currently not high, mainly because the shooting space is tightly compressed by the Mavericks players.
Although Howard, who competed with Wang Dachun for rebounds in the interior, did beat Wang Dachun on the rebounds. But it can’t stand the waste of his teammates. Howard’s rebounds are more based on his own strength and experience. And Wang Dachun relied on his own jumping and wingspan.
The two men’s continuous hand-to-hand combat inside Howard obviously felt that the physical exertion was too fast. In addition to the continuous failure of his teammates, Howard prepared for his own singles, let all the players pull away, and continue to run on the outside.
Howard relied on his own strength to beat Wang Dachun in the interior. Wang Dachun’s defensive efforts were still taken by Howard with strength and footsteps. He also sent a foul, but the Magic’s efficiency did not improve much.
After Wang Dachun fouled, the Magic coach asked for a timeout to re-arrange the tactics for the players. Carlisle also took the opportunity to tell Wang Dachun off the court to make Wang Dachun and Howard more fierce in rebounding and defensively.
The two teams have played against each other for more than half a quarter, but the scores have not been separated. Coach Carlisle now prefers to make Wang Dachun pay for the foul and increase the number of rounds of the team.
After the timeout was over, the players from both sides returned to the court.
Wang Dachun’s defense against Howard has also begun to increase. Although he is not very clear about the intensity of what coach Carlisle said, he still does his best to put pressure on Howard.
Howard did feel the defensive pressure, and he was not shooting casually. Just now the head coach of the Magic has developed a new tactical plan, asking Howard to take the initiative to create space for teammates in the pick-and-roll.
Wang Dachun was a little overwhelmed by Howard’s sudden move like this. He thought he would continue to fight Howard!
But I dare not relax and continue to defend Howard and help prevent misplaced Magic players.
After Howard participated in the pick-and-roll tactics, the Magic’s offensive efficiency has indeed become more efficient, and the score has gradually been led by the Magic.
The game came to the last minute of the first quarter.
Howard continued to pick and roll on the outside. After the implementation of the new tactics, Howard basically did not make any more shots, but was still fighting with Wang Dachun in the basket when he was fighting for rebounds.
In hand-to-hand combat, Wang Dachun still followed the head coach’s words to defend more vigorously. In fact, Wang Dachun’s defense like this made Howard’s heart a long time ago.
He has not met a rookie like Wang Dachun for a long time, who is entangled in the interior and cannot build his own advantage. In order to improve the efficiency of the team, he provides pick-and-rolls for his teammates on the outside, feeling that he is already a blue-collar coolie.
It’s also a bit like the last game, just got the data that no one can achieve in the past 20 years, the top insider in the league.
This game will definitely be due to interference from this rookie, and the data for the entire game may drop significantly.
At this time, Wang Dachun was helping to defend the Magic small forward Turkoglu, who was missed by Josh Howard. Turkoglu has gone inside with the ball.
Josh Howard has not returned to the defense yet, Turkoglu has already raised the ball to prepare for the basket, Wang Dachun can only immediately pounced to the basket, trying to interfere with the opponent’s shooting.
Unexpectedly, Turkoglu made a fake shot and passed the ball to Howard who followed Wang Dachun. When Wang Dachun turned back, Howard had already received the basketball and jumped up.
Wang Dachun tried to reach out to block the shot, but it was too late. Howard jumped high and dunked the basketball vigorously into the hoop through Wang Dachun.
Howard hung on the basket, the force of his thigh thrust against Wang Dachun’s chest, Wang Dachun pushed back two steps, after landing Howard also roared at Wang Dachun, seeming to vent his anger in his heart.
The referee blew the whistle at the same time, the Mavericks blocked the foul on No. 66, and Howard made a free throw.
Wang Dachun came to the basket and waited for Howard’s free throw. Howard made a rare free throw and happily showed his big white teeth.
With Howard’s free throw, the first quarter just ended, Wang Dachun returned to the bench with his starting teammates, took the towel handed over by Barea and covered his head. No one else could see his expression.
After sitting down, Wang Dachun felt tired and his breathing became heavier. The moment he was blocked by Howard seemed to flash in front of him.
It seemed that I was deducted just now?
It’s normal to be deducted. Who in the NBA hasn’t been deducted before?
I have deducted others too! Not to mention the feeling of buckling other people!
Don’t know why? There seems to be something stuck in my chest! I made myself a little bit difficult to breathe.
Why is it that the more I think about my being separated, the more humiliated I feel like never before.
At this moment, I really want to return this feeling, and immediately want to return it! Don’t want to wait for a moment.
Wang Dachun himself didn’t know why he was a rookie in the league and was deducted once by the league’s top center. How could he have so many thoughts in his heart.
But one thing he can be sure of is that he himself doesn’t like the feeling of being buckled very much, and he really wants to buckle Howard immediately.
