662: Dream Steps

Howard was humiliated as soon as he came out. Although he did not directly compete with Link, he would inevitably be compared by everyone.

Link easily scored a goal on Parsons' head, showing his super-giant style. Howard was forced to hook up under Gasol's defense and was in a mess.

Howard is definitely unwilling to give up. He can count on turning around with this game and must not mess it up.

But he also understood that he was impatient. The more anxious he was, the more likely he was to make mistakes. So this time, Howard did not ask for the ball at the low post. He obediently mentioned the high post, meeting Harden's need to call for pick-and-roll.

But I don’t know if Harden just went to a nightclub for a party yesterday. His mid-range emergency stop jump shot was ridiculously small.

The basketball hit the front of the basket and was too short. If this ball was shot from the three-point line, it would probably be a three-pointer.

Harden's condition is like this, sometimes good and sometimes bad. When it's good, he can pat his chest and say that he is now the number one point guard in the league. After all, Kobe is old now, and there is really no new generation point guard who is better than Harden.

But when it is bad, Harden's efficiency will be so low that you doubt whether he will play.

It is obvious that Harden's condition is very average today. As an NBA-level player, his shooting is so short, which is no longer a problem with his feel, but rather a problem with his entire physical condition.

Howard hit Harden's head with one punch, I'll give you a pick-and-roll, and you'll use this to respond to me?

I won't block it next time!

The combination of Harden and Howard is far from as close as people imagine.

Kobe and O'Neal also disagree with each other, but their open conflicts may sometimes be better than those buried in the hearts.

Kobe and O'Neal were having a fuss at that time, but they still had to play well. Howard and Harden's dissatisfaction that was hidden in their hearts would affect their cooperation on the court.

Both of the Rockets' leading stars took action, but none of them hit. People found that the actual progress of this game was completely different from what they imagined.

I thought Howard and Harden would fight to the death in the FedEx Arena, and the Rockets would unite and swear to defend the glory of the Rockets to the death.

But as of now, the Rockets do not have that kind of determination at all. Howard and Harden each have their own ulterior motives and are not on the same front at all.

If the offense fails, Howard wants to regain his face on the defensive end. If Link breaks through, he will never have any chance to block.

As a result, this time, the Grizzlies hit Gasol, allowing Gasol to single against Howard at the low post!

There is no doubt that this behavior made Howard very angry! Once upon a time, as the best defensive player, people couldn't even hide when they saw him. Now, they even came to him on their own initiative!

The Grizzlies did not mean to incite Howard, and Joggel was not that annoying.

The reason why he arranged for Gasol to play Howard alone was entirely due to tactical considerations.

Howard's defense is indeed excellent, and even now, he often plays a big show.

But if Howard faces Gasol's center with a large tonnage, tall and skilled center, it will be very difficult to defend.

First of all, Howard's height is not an advantage. Secondly, Howard's weak lower limb strength makes it difficult for him to withstand the impact of this heavy center. Yao Ming used these advantages to frequently blow up Howard in the low position.

Although Gasol is not as strong as Yao Ming now, as a center forward with a similar style to Yao Ming, he still has the advantage in playing against Howard.

In the 2009-10 season, Howard, who was still subversive, suffered many losses in the young Gasol. Basically, every time Gasol and Howard fight, the offense is smooth.

Joggel and Snyder have studied all the previous match records. From Gasol's entry into the league to now, as long as he faces Howard, his shooting percentage in that game will not be less than 60%!

In contrast, Howard, even during the Magic period, was defended by Gasol to only have a 38% shooting percentage.

Gasol lived up to expectations and after hitting the low post twice, he calmly hooked his hand and scored.

Now there is no need to take action, Gasol alone can compete Howard.

The Rockets' strongest point on the defensive end has become one of the Grizzlies' key offensive targets!

"Dwight is powerless against that goal, and his bounce advantage is simply not able to play in that situation. 5-0, the Rockets played very passively at the beginning. If they want to defend the league's first-game winning streak, they have to work harder."

Howard was completely blinded by anger now. The more fierce he yelled before the game, the more embarrassing he was now.

Why do trash talks from Bird, Jordan and even Link become classics? Not only because they use the words in a very good way, but also because they can always turn what they squirt into reality.

Bird said that you are all here to compete for second place, and he can win first place. Link said that you don’t want to go back alive today, and the Grizzlies will definitely win.

Howard threatened to protect his honor before the game, but now he has been exposed one after another, which makes him unpredictable.

Trash words that cannot be squirted with action are no different from shrews scolding.

Howard sat in the low position again, this time, he vowed to avenge his previous shame!

The Rockets have really not many offensive routines. McHale is not a tactical master. Even if he is, with the Rockets' current strength, he cannot execute too complex tactics. After all, the more complex the tactics, the lower the execution success rate.

Externally, the Rockets claimed that they were playing multi-point dynamic three-dimensional offense. The dominant idea was to let the players decide their own offensive methods, without fixed offensive routines or running positions, because fixed routines can be prevented.

In fact, when it comes to the court, the Rockets' offense will most of the time become Howard and Harden take turns to play singles. In China, this "multi-point dynamic three-dimensional offense" has been incisively summarized by Chinese fans into the "x**d tactic".

Seeing Howard receive a pass from Jeremy Lin at the low post, the Rockets instantly entered a state where one person beats four people. There is no fixed offensive routine, so just use calmness to control it!

Howard tried his best to chisel in the inside, Gasol raised his arms and pressed him against the "Warcraft", with no expression on his face.

It seemed to be saying to Howard, "You use more force, and you'll go in."

In the end, the referee couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't get in after a long time. It was like something! He blew the whistle in his mouth, signaling Howard to violate the attack for three seconds, and the ball belonged to the Grizzlies!

Howard was busy for a long time, but he made a mistake. He was impatient and complained to the referee, his mouth was not clean.

The referee did not spoil Howard and directly added a technical foul.

Now he is at the referee, but he has no face to sell.

From the beginning of the game to now, Howard has been suppressed almost every round. He feels that he is not a big deal in the Federal Express Arena and has no majesty!

"Dwight, if you don't score, I won't wait for you." Just as Howard was angry, Link floated out and complained to Howard.

"What a big talk, do I need you to wait?" Howard clenched his fists, and he kept telling himself that the game had just begun, so you can't be anxious, you can't be anxious.

However, the Rockets have not scored for two minutes.

Link asked Conley to execute a technical foul free throw, and the Grizzlies were able to continue attacking, with a 6-0 advantage, and continued to move towards the 15-game winning streak at the start.

Link still didn't hold the ball this time. Since his teammates can play, Link will save his physical fitness.

Iguodala broke through the basket and prepared to attack the frame, but was stopped by the angry Howard.

Howard is indeed fighting fiercely now, and Iguodala's body that can compete with James was unable to withstand it.

Under Howard's rough interference, Iguodala failed to make a layup. This is the first time the Grizzlies missed the shooting in today's game!

Just when Howard thought everything was done, Link took the lead and rushed to the offensive rebound!

Parsons didn't pay attention to the position just now, and he made a huge mistake. Link has a very strong sense of rebounding. If he doesn't get stuck, just wait to lose the rebound.

After Link got the offensive rebound, Howard immediately turned the gun and forced Link toward him. Link was at the basket at this time, which was a rare opportunity for Howard to face Link!

Link originally wanted to pass the ball, but Parsons and Howard blocked all Link's sight. Link was not an inside player, so he was caught by an opponent with a height of 2.08 meters and a height of 2.11 meters and basically couldn't see anything.

There is no way, there is only a frame attack.

Link grabbed the rebound and slapped the basketball suddenly, then turned around, as if he was leaning back and jumping!

Howard was waiting for this moment! He took a step forward and jumped high. Even if Link leaned back and lay down to the ground, he would never avoid the blocking!

This time, you must avenge your previous shame and show your super giant wind!

After Link turned around and was about to shoot, he suddenly paused. He did not shoot, but stepped forward and passed by Howard who had already started!

Howard widened his eyes. What happened to these silky and smooth low-post steps? Link is an outside player!

In this way, Howard watched Link easily pick up the basket. He himself was like a big fool, and was irrelevant to being played with.

The fans have eaten it, Link just now is a...

"Dream Dance! Haha, Link shook Howard dizzy under the basket! The footsteps under the basket are so beautiful. As a number three player, Link taught Dwight Howard a serious center. Let's take a look. This is the real low-post offense! A beautiful second attack, it's hard for us to see this kind of shot now."

Hubby Brown applauded. A third position can challenge the fifth position at the low position, so how can this fifth position be so beautiful!

Olajuwon, Yao Ming... The glory of the two iconic centers of the Houston Rockets did not reappear in Howard, but was learned by Link.

Howard didn't know what expression to do, but that was so embarrassing that moment just now! He lowered his head and picked up the basketball and silently quit the bottom line.

I thought the embarrassment would pass like this, but I didn't know that when Howard looked up, he found that Link was still standing in front of him.

"You disappointed me, Dwight. That's what you said, is it that you swear to protect the Rockets' record to the death?"

Link undoubtedly made a cut in Howard's body and sprinkled a handful of salt into it.

Harden, who was beside him, could only shake his head helplessly.
