Chapter 231: 231
Howard pushed back twice, but Millsap was rock-solid, holding an inch on the defensive end, unfazed by it.
Millsap was also cruel this time and insisted on touching Howard.
Howard gritted his teeth. He still remembered the regular season against the Knicks. Although Millsap's defense was very good at that time, he was definitely not as difficult as he is now. He didn't expect this guy to improve so quickly.
However, Howard still didn't believe in evil. He suddenly leaned against Millsap, took Millsap's body as the axis, and quickly turned to the basket!
Millsap was not thrown away, but kept his chest close to Howard, preventing Howard from comfortably breaking through to the basket.
And raise your arms high to prevent him from making a sudden shot, and at the same time interfere with Howard's passing vision.
"F**K!" Howard was blinded by Millsap's wide palm. This guy's defense was much tighter than that of O'Neal who only knew how to use his body.
In just one round, Howard knew why Millsap was in the All-Defensive Team.
But it's too late to know this now.
Howard elbowed Millsap for a layup, but the ball bounced off the back of the rim due to a distracted view.
Millsap entered the best defensive team, absolutely no water, and defense has always been his housekeeping skill, and he is showing it all now.
David Lee stepped forward to take the lead and received the rebound.
Afterwards, he made a direct long pass to Lian Dao, and the Knicks counterattacked instantly!
This is the Knicks' offensive rhythm, fast defensive counterattack.
I saw that Lian Dao went straight into the hinterland of the Magic team like lightning, turned around and avoided Vince Carter who was chasing him without slowing down, and made an emergency stop to worship Buddha during a layup, directly pointing to Michael Pietrou Adams, against Michael Pietrus Lim rice scored the ball.
"Beep!"
"brush!"
"2+1!"
Lian Dao's first offense caused Michael Pietrus to get fouled, and this call did not say anything!
Moreover, it was clearly seen on the big screen that Michael Pietrus' arm had hit Lian Dao in the face.
Magic fans in Amway Arena booed overwhelmingly.
Lian Dao was unmoved, and made the free throw into the basket steadily.
3:0!
Millsap's return visit was timely, he gained a firm foothold under the basket, and started another battle for a position under the basket.
"The garbage I throw is not as smelly as your pitching hand, but you are still called a monster?" Millsap sprayed trash on his mouth, and at the same time leaked a sarcastic smile.
Howard's face was also gloomy at this time, without saying a word, and there was no happy expression on his face anymore.
"What's the matter, I got it right, do you also think that your title is exaggerated!" Millsap saw Howard's gloomy expression, and then spouted trash talk.
"Shut up! I'll blow you up on this ball!" Howard couldn't stand it anymore. Being ridiculed by an unknown person he suppressed in the regular season made him very angry. Now he just wants to crush him head-on. This nagging little black fat man!
So as soon as he got stuck in the main position, he asked point guard Jameer Nelson for the ball. Jameer Nelson looked at Lewis who was also asking for the ball from the outside, hesitated, and chose to pass the ball to Howard on the inside. He hesitated for a moment, but Millsap, who got rid of the jam, slapped the ball passed by Jameer Nelson and intercepted it.
Millsap tossed the ball to Lian Dao before Howard got entangled.
Speeding up the fast break again, Lian Dao avoided Michael Pietrus' interception in a disguised form. Seeing that Lian Dao was about to hit the three-point line again and scored a dunk, Michael Pietrus responded and stretched out his hand. Living in Lian Dao's jersey.
But Michael Pietrus was dragged back by Lian Dao's super strength.
Lian Dao also reacted immediately, throwing the ball to the basket before the whistle was heard.
"Beep!"
"Bang, swish!"
"3+1!"
The basketball hit the board and bounced into the basket. I have to say that Lian Dao's luck was very good!
In the two rounds, Michael Pietrus fouled twice. In just 1 minute of the opening, Michael Pietrus had already suffered two fouls due to his back injury.
The opening posed a problem for Stan Van Gundy, but Michael Pietrus had already fouled twice, and now he's holding him back.
As a last resort, when Lian Dao made a free throw, Stan Van Gundy patted Matt Barnes on the shoulder and let him play to replace Michael Pietrus.
Michael Pietrus walked off the court with his head down, depressed. This is probably his shortest starting time.
Michael Pietrus, who was replaced, was pushed on the bench by Stan Van Gundy. Michael Pietrus defended well for the two balls, and Michael Pietrus did not expect Lian Dao to come up for the first ball. He took the initiative to seek confrontation and made a foul. Michael Pietrus had to do this for the second goal. He thought it was to destroy Lian Dao's offense.
However, I didn't expect Lian Dao to be so lucky and score a goal with just a throw.
Stan Van Gundy also knew that Michael Pietrus had nothing wrong with his defense, but Van Gundy, who was upset by Lian Dao's start, didn't want to talk at this time.
Lian Dao still hit the free throw steadily.
7:0.
This opening was a bit unexpected for the audience at the scene.
But in turn, Millsap's mouth still did not stop, still pouring trash talk to Howard.
"O'Neal's grandma is better than you, she can't even catch the ball, so go home and wash the baby's diapers!"
You can also say that Howard really has a child who was born not long ago, and this "washing the diaper for the child" directly made himself into it, which means that he is a bitch.
This made Howard, who regarded himself as a tough guy of Warcraft, a little unbearable, and his heart was even more furious.
Again, he asked for the ball from the outside. This time Howard didn't give Millsap a chance to steal it. After receiving the ball, the angry Howard made a big move in his hand, and directly elbowed Millsap who was standing still. Millsap lay down, Howard was taken aback, but still dunked the ball to the basket.
The ball should have been Howard's offensive foul, but the referee's whistle did not sound.
When Millsap got up, he saw that the referee didn't blow his whistle or make excuses, and he directly launched an attack quickly.
But D'Antoni on the sidelines would not ignore it, and yelled at the referee directly: "Offensive foul, that's an offensive foul, Dwight fouled!"
The referee pretended not to hear and ignored D'Antoni's clamor.
Could he not know that Howard fouled just now!
But at this time, the Amway Center, the home court of the Magic, called the Magic two fouls at the beginning~www.mtlnovel.com~ Now if you blow it again, the fans at the scene will definitely be excited, no matter what he has to take care of the emotions of the home fans Isn't it.
D'Antoni knew it too, so after growling twice, he sat quietly on the bench.
If you yell at Xiao Xiao again, the referee will probably give himself a warning.
If it doesn't work out, another technical foul will happen, and it will be a big loss!
7:2.
Within one and a half minutes of the opening, the Magic finally scored their first goal.
The Knicks attacked, and Lian Dao held the ball with both hands on his waist from outside the three-point line in a three-threat pose.
The position of holding the ball at the waist can avoid being intercepted, and it is also convenient for quick dribbling. At the same time, the ball is held with a shooting gesture, which is also conducive to fast shooting.
Matt Barnes knows how fast Lian Dao can break through, and also knows that Lian Dao's three-pointers are very accurate, so when he defends Lian Dao, he leaves one step away. This step is the distance he defends Lian Dao Optimal reaction distance for rice breakthroughs and shots.
Lian Dao saw that Matt Barnes's defensive experience is indeed very sophisticated, but defending himself is not something that can be defended by being experienced.
Raising his hand on tiptoe to shoot, Matt Barnes hurried forward. At this time, Lian Dao quickly took the ball back, dribbled, and took a step with his right foot. The fastest first step was started, and Matt Barnes passed by lightning s.
When Lewis came up to help defend, he stopped suddenly, jumped up, faced Lewis' block, leaned back, and shot!
"brush!"
