Chapter 103 Nail Board Big Hat
It is said that Howard's skills are rough. At his peak, Howard relied on his outstanding physical fitness to achieve a strong inner performance in the era when the big center was withering. As a "happy beast", he could easily lead the Magic to the finals.
At that time, even though Howard was often scored by others due to his free throw shooting percentage, Howard, who could easily score points with his dominance at the basket, did not care about the free throw points and could still score impressive scoring data.
But now, with the increase of age, the decline in physical fitness, and the impact of injuries, when Howard can't rely on his talents and physical fitness in the inside line to fly and escape.
Howard has also gradually begun to strengthen his basket footwork training and develop his free throw percentage at the free throw.
In this critical game today, many of Howard's basket footwork skills when playing singles with the ball were much better than when he first debuted and even at the peak of the Magic. This is also the reason why Howard can remain in the first echelon of the league center for many years.
Standing at the free throw line, Howard took a deep breath and completed this extra free throw.
"Punishment!"
"Howard successfully scored three-pointers and successfully tied the score for Team R!"
"This game is getting more and more interesting, there will be no overtime."
"For such a wonderful game, I feel that it's not enough to play overtime."
With Howard's three-pointer and free throw, the two teams will be completely on the same starting line in the last minute of the fourth quarter.
For both sides, physical fitness is a huge consumption after nearly a whole game.
In this case, who can win the final victory is not only a reflection of strength, but also a reflection of the players' willpower.
Even though his breathing was rapid, Zhang Feng still insisted on the court. At this decisive moment, Zhang Feng did not want to give up, nor did he want to give up the opportunity to Robin Lopez. It was not only for his position, but also for the team to consider it. Let a player who is not at the pace of the game replace him due to physical fitness problems, which may cause the team's offense and defense to lose his current inertia.
Not only Zhang Feng felt tired at the last moment, but Lillard, who was on the offensive end, started the pick-and-roll and made personal attacks, also had some physical condition.
After Lillard dribbled over, he directly signaled that Zhang Feng would not have to go forward to pick-and-roll. This is also a blessing for Zhang Feng.
Lillard dribbled over and handed it to Batum at the high position on the left, and he just moved to the right and waited for the opportunity to shoot from the outside.
The three Trail Blazers gathered in the right half area and handed over the entire left half area to Batum and Aldridge for offensive cooperation.
After the Trail Blazers played Lillard and Zhang Feng's pick-and-roll cooperation, this time, the ball was handed over to Aldridge and Batum, who were more physically fit, to play pick-and-roll cooperation.
Batum and Ade cooperated in the pick-and-roll in the high left position.
Asik and Parsons directly grabbed double teams on the double team, and directly surrounded Batum near the sideline.
Fortunately, Batum is tall enough. Although Batum, who was holding the ball under the double-team of the two, could no longer see the outside world, he still barely passed the ball from above.
Throw high to Aldridge who was in a downturn.
However, because it was a throwing pass, the ball was not fast. When Ade received the ball, Asik had already returned to the defensive position.
Ade, who immediately jumped and wanted to complete the mid-range shot, did not expect Asik's return to defense so quickly.
After jumping up, he was afraid of being blocked. Ade was in the air and could only move to Matthews, who was facing the front.
Without the opportunity to get a free spot, Matthews jumped to catch the ball, and after landing, he directly chose to accelerate and break through to the inside.
Harden's defensive position was pretty good at this time, but Matthews stopped directly while Harden was retreating to defend, and a mid-range backward jump shot completed the end of the offensive end.
However, this time, Matthews did not make a shot in front of Harden with a sudden stop and a backward jump shot.
This time, under Howard's position, Zhang Feng was unable to run into the basket to grab the rebound. Howard firmly grasped the rebound this time and passed it directly to Jeremy Lin in front, looking for an opportunity to push and counterattack.
Jeremy Lin counterattacked and moved forward. During the game, Jeremy Lin played the role of passing the ball on the court and occasionally shooting from the outside.
But you should know that during the "Lin Crazy Period" in the New York Knicks, Jeremy Lin was a well-known scorer. As a Chinese player, he became an online player on Times with his continuous scoring explosive performance.
When the Trail Blazers' empty space was revealed, in the final stage of the game, Jeremy Lin's desire to score in the inside line suddenly magnified.
Even with Lillard's quick retreat, Jeremy Lin was determined to seize the opportunity and attack this time.
As soon as he stepped on the accelerator under his feet, Jeremy Lin directly resisted Lillard's defense and quickly advanced forward, directly hitting the basket, wanting to make a counterattack this time.
Although his physical fitness is not outstanding as an Asian, Jeremy Lin's acquired exercise is still obviously stronger than the current "little defender" Lillard.
While dribbling forward quickly, Jeremy Lin took the initiative to lean against Lillard in the front right, so that Lillard could not get the opportunity to exert full force and show explosive power and jumping ability. Jeremy Lin took three steps and stood Lillard on the right and prepared to complete a light low-hand layup with his left hand.
A small person's layup is destined to be the tragedy of a "little person" in the NBA arena.
Jeremy Lin's counterattack focused on the Blazers' defense against Lillard, but he did not notice that there was a "big figure" behind him, who was also using all his strength to return to defense.
Jeremy Lin relied on Lillard to successfully complete the attack, but Zhang Feng behind him was waiting for this opportunity for Jeremy Lin to take action.
"Big hat on nail board!"
"Zhang Feng!"
"Quickly return to defense, and directly tell Jeremy Lin's defense to jump with all his strength during the return chase, and put Jeremy Lin on the rebound this time, and just made a move, he directly pressed on the rebound!"
In the subsequent rebound, Lillard quickly jumped and put it in his arms, not caring about Jeremy Lin who had already fallen to the ground, and Zhang Feng who was a little exhausted after the jump and blocked the block after the full force, he fell to the ground and collapsed on the ground.
