Dwight Howard's astonishing hook just now shocked people, and now this hook is shocking again, it is also shocking, but there is a huge difference, the shocking jump just now is surprise, now This startle was an accident.

In ancient times, there were no donkeys in Guizhou. A playful man brought a donkey over by boat but found it was useless, so he let him go to fend for himself. The donkey was at the foot of the mountain, living freely. Eating grass, but it is easy to meet a tiger.

The tiger was very wary of this strange guy with a huge stature and a high-pitched voice, and he didn't dare to approach it easily, but after observing for a while, he found that this guy didn't seem to have much ability, so he came over to offend the donkey, and the donkey was furious. Raise the hoof as big as the vinegar bowl to kick the tiger, the tiger is not surprised but happy, so you have this ability, so you jumped up and bit the donkey's throat, enjoying the deliciousness of the donkey meat.

Dwight Howard is like this. The first attack made people stunned, surprised and didn't know what to do. His hook, even if it wasn't a sky hook, was almost the same. If he can master this offensive skill proficiently, Even if the hit rate is a little bit worse, it is acceptable.

A great center must be both offensive and defensive. Even if one of them is poor, at least you must be better than the league's first-class players at the same position. Yao's name is poor in defense, but his awareness is not bad, and he is motivated. There is no problem, but the difference is in talent, while Dwight Howard is lacking in offense, and his lack is not only in the physical aspect, but also from the awareness of all aspects of technology, which cannot be made up in a short time up. [

The first time, I didn’t know how to hook the ball into the basket by mistake. The second time, you should be more reliable. Even if you can’t make it, it’s one thing if you hit the basket. You just hooked it behind the backboard. No matter what happened, the problem of Dwight Howard was exposed all of a sudden, but even so, Yao Ming did not relax his vigilance against Dwight Howard, and still followed Dwight Howard every step of the way, preventing him from getting attacked Chance.

However, his teammates don't believe in him like Stephen believes in Yao Ming. Almost no one is willing to pass the ball to him. Except for Ralph Alston, who can't see it and occasionally passes the ball to him, the others almost get the ball. The ball is attacking, and unless Dwight Howard grabs an offensive rebound, he can't even touch the ball.

But even if he grabs an offensive rebound, if the opportunity is not too good, he will not attack by force, because Yao Ming puts too much pressure on his defense. No matter how he can jump, if he can't stand up, he will naturally not be able to jump up. And if he can't jump up, Dwight Howard naturally doesn't have much confidence to make a move against Yao Ming, who is much taller than him.

As for the Supersonics, they focused on the inside from the very beginning, and Stephen almost gave up his shots. He kept sending the ball to Yao Ming, fully fulfilling the duties of a logistics team leader. Although Yao Ming did not blindly attack, If the opportunity is not very good or if the teammates are free, they will pass the ball, but most of the time they are more offensive. After all, facing Dwight Howard's defense, Yao Ming feels very relaxed.

Seeing that Stephen trusts Yao Ming so much, and the two cooperate so much, at least the Chinese fans are very happy to see it. Chinese fans can't wait to turn the Seattle SuperSonics into a Chinese team. It's a pity that the strength of the two of them is a bit too weak to get this team, and more importantly, they don't meet the needs of the team.

Dwight Howard is not convinced, but what can he do if he is not convinced? He is still very concerned about the pre-match media hype between the two of them. There are many offensive plans, such as the hook, because the hook can allow him to avoid Yao Ming's block, as long as he is farther away from the basket, but what he did not expect is that at least three shots in training can Getting a hook would be so unreliable.

Yao Ming can block the insiders. If it is another team, there are power forwards who can help defend. However, the power forward of the Orlando Magic is Rashad Lewis. Playing small forwards is not enough confrontation. Not to mention coming to the inside to fight against a monster like Yao Ming, so Dwight Howard can only carry it alone, but Dwight Howard really can't handle it, so he can only let Yao Ming be rampant at the basket.

But fortunately, the Orlando Magic's outside play is good, so that the Sonics will not lead too much. Although Yao Ming's performance is outstanding, it is not so easy for him to beat a championship-level team alone. Yes, the Orlando Magic can break out of the East, not just shoot three-pointers.

Although Stan Van Gundy is the elder brother of Jeff Van Gundy, he is a new recruit in the position of head coach, and he also learned from the "magic fortune teller" Pat Riley. Jeff Van Gundy is different. He was a player and then taught in several universities. When his younger brother became the head coach of the New York Knicks, he had just come to Pat Riley and studied with Pat Riley.

What Jeff Van Gundy learned from Pat Riley was iron-blooded defense, but what Stan Van Gundy learned from Pat Riley was the balance of offense and defense, especially in the later period. When he was an assistant to the head coach, he was mainly responsible for the team's offense .

"In the future of basketball, there will be five players with a height of about two meters, and the division of positions on the court will be completely blurred." This is Pat Riley's future basketball concept, and Stan Van Gundy is also influenced by this theory. His Teams are not so strictly divided in terms of positions.

Using Rashad Lewis as a power forward is a pioneering work. Although he has a disadvantage in confrontation, he has a great advantage in offense, especially when facing a slow-footed veteran like Kurt Thomas. At the same time, Rashard Lewis did not give up on defense. He could not fight against Yao Ming, so he tried every means to block Yao Ming's ball path. He knew that the contract he got was attacked by many people, even Orlando fans did not understand. , Often complain: "What will happen if you give xx 2000 million?" Even within the team, there are many people who are hostile to themselves, thinking that they have robbed them of the salary they deserve.

He felt wronged in his heart, but he didn't know who to tell. This contract was won for him by his agent, and the management of the Orlando Magic was willing to offer it. million contract.

But even so, Rashad Lewis still wants to contribute more. At least it seems that he is not getting this high salary for nothing. Compared with many people, Rashad Lewis is also very professional He didn't like physical contact, but he forced himself to fight. He took on a lot of work that didn't belong to him and he wasn't good at. Even if his data was affected, he didn't care.

So among so many players in the Orlando Magic, Rashad Lewis is the one who played the hardest. No matter when the Supersonics replace Kurt Thomas with Serge Ibaka, his good days are over. After a season of growth, Serge Ibaka's defensive awareness and defensive skills have made great progress. Although he can't completely limit him, he is already much better than Kurt Thomas.

In this way, the offense of the Orlando Magic will be greatly reduced. Hedo Turkoglu has no advantage against Kevin Durant. As for Courtney Lee and Ralph Alston, it is even more unreliable. Seeing that the score gap was getting wider and wider, Stan Van Gundy couldn't sit still beside him, walked to the side of the technical statistics table, and kept roaring towards the field.

Stan Van Gundy yelled for a while, but it had no effect. He was about to go back to drink water, but saw that the Supersonics proposed a substitution, and the one who was replaced was Yao Ming, the biggest hero of the Supersonics. Stan Van Gundy knew that this was Yao Ming's physical strength point, and if he continued to play, he would become very tired, but this should be a good thing for the Magic, because Coupard's offensive ability was improved. There was too much difference with Yao Ming, so he, who was planning to change, stopped instead, and let this lineup play for a while to see.
