NBA: No. 1 Forward

Popular recommendation:

Miami.

After losing G5 at home, there is no smile on Happy Beast's face, and he is very sad in his heart.

But Master Huo made it to the finals last season after all. This season, Master Huo has also matured a lot. He didn't show any other emotions. He is the core of this team, and his attitude will often affect the ball. The mood of the other members of the team, in this regard, I have to say that Master Huo has improved a lot compared to last year.

"Dwight, you have to pay attention to distributing the ball, don't blindly play around the basket, and pay attention to the opportunities of outside shooters." Van Gundy said bitterly to Howard at this time.

No way, although Howard is much more mature than before, the childishness deep in his heart will still show up from time to time.

Van Gundy is more like a nanny, earnestly but not too harshly persuading.

This is Howard. If it were someone else on the team, Van Gundy would have let him sit on the bench.

No way, this is the treatment of superstars. If it is replaced by Jerry Sloan, then the two will have to go one by one.

Moreover, it is very likely that the head coach will leave.

"I see." Howard nodded. He also wants to win now, and if he wants to win, he must restrain his happy emotions.

Howard knew that the failure of G5 was largely due to himself, and he never thought of shirking responsibility.

Especially in the last two days, he has been watching the video replays of the G5 game.

On April 30, G6 kicked off.

It rained three-pointers at the Miami Heat's home court this time, and the Heat paid a heavy price for double-teaming Howard.

Jameer Nelson, Vince Carter, Matt Barnes, Rashad Lewis, fired from the perimeter one after another.

All stars!

The Magic finally returned to their own rhythm, and also defeated the Miami Heat on the road.

4:2!

The Magic advanced to the second round.

After all the Knicks players watched the game, they determined their opponents in the next round.

Tonight, the Magic's three-point rain and Howard's ups and downs in the interior made all the Knicks players extremely vigilant.

After all, the Knicks still faced up to the opponent they least wanted to meet.

To be honest, D'Antoni didn't have much confidence against the Magic, and Howard's dominance in the regular season is still vivid.

Although the game was over, Lian Dao was still staring at the Happy Beast Howard celebrating on the live screen.

Now Howard is the top inside player in the league.

The defensive end has an amazing ability to defend against the basket (although the range is a bit narrow), and also has the league's top rebounding ability.

On the offensive end, he can attract defense at the basket, open up shooting space for outside players, and can also cut inside to eat cakes.

Although Howard, who later left the Magic, gradually lost, it was not because of his strength, but because of his game attitude.

This also has a lot to do with his child's personality. He hopes that everyone on the team can revolve around him, and he can have more possession of the ball in singles at the basket.

However, in this way, the team's overall ball passing will have problems, and the rhythm of the outside line will also be interrupted, and his passing skills are very hip. Many times, he has the ball alone, and the whole team stares. watch.

In the Magic team, there were still people who spoiled him, but when he went to the Lakers, no players spoiled him, especially Kobe’s paranoid character, he always reprimanded Howard, which made the happy beast in the bustling city of Los Angeles, Couldn't be happier anymore.

In particular, Howard's child character, whether he wins or loses, he always looks happy.

This is nothing when winning, but the team still looks like this when losing, which will hurt the morale of the team.

In later generations, this is why Kobe said he was a coward and had no ambition to win.

But no matter what the future holds, at least the current Howard is a difficult problem for the Knicks to solve.

After the opponent is determined, D'Antoni has nothing to say, and he has no other better way now.

Send the tactics sorted out before to each player, so let the players go back to rest.

After returning home, when Lian Dao was surfing the Internet, he also came across Howard's post-match interview.

Reporter: "First of all, congratulations on advancing to the second round. What would you like to say to your second-round opponent, the Knicks?"

Howard: "Sickle, we are here, are you ready to be eliminated by us?"

Lian Dao watched Howard's interview and smiled. The Happy Beast was still the same Happy Beast. Lian Dao thought he was mature, but the childishness deep in his heart would not change.

…

"Howard led the Magic, eliminated the Miami Heat led by Wade, and advanced to the second round!"

"The Miami Heat regretted losing at home, and Wade left the game in frustration again!"

"Magic and Knicks meet in the playoffs, super outside player VS super inside!"
