Standing pretty old

Chapter 62 Fighting Warcraft ([-])
After the start of the fourth quarter, the two teams still replaced the main players.After all, the preseason is a preseason, and it is not enough for the players of the two teams to try their best to win.

But playing a game of intensity has never been ugly.In particular, the Magic and the Eagles are eager to achieve greater success in the new season. Of course, neither party will give up the game easily.

Ruan Erniu scored 16 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block without playing in the second quarter.Counting his playing time alone, it has not reached 20 minutes, and his efficiency is shocking.

Howard's stats are dwarfed by comparison, with 7 points and 8 rebounds, no matter how you look at it, he is a blue-collar player, although his playing time does not exceed 20 minutes.

However, neither of them takes their personal data seriously now, because the game on the court is more anxious.The two teams began to lead the score alternately, and the defensive strength has exceeded the regular season in the general sense.

Neither Mike Woodson nor Stan Van Gundy would have imagined that such a preseason game would be so intense.Now the two head coaches are a little bit hard to get off. If they switch to the main force at this time, the loss will not be worth the loss in case of injury;

After all, both teams are in the East, and they can't look up.The three armies can take away their commanders, but the generals cannot take away their ambitions. The consequences of losing momentum may be more serious than injuries.

Stan Van Gundy was the first to make a change. He just arrived in the Magic and wanted to prove himself with a victory.He made up his mind and sent all the starting lineup to the field at once.

Mike Woodson, who didn't want to lose at first, saw the situation, wiped his shiny egg head, and waved his hand.The Hawks' starting lineup was also sent to the field.

Howard, who had just arrived on the court, scored 2 points for the Magic with a big hook with his arms. Facing such a shot, Ruan Erniu had no choice but to watch the ball go into the frame.

In the Eagles' offensive round, Jon Jonsen received the basketball at 45 degrees, missed the mid-range shot, Er Niu grabbed the rebound and passed it to Eclipse.

After receiving the ball, the lunar eclipse at the horn position immediately shot the ball, "Bang!" There was a sound of iron striking.However, this time the basketball was in the hands of Marvin Williams.

Marvin passed the ball to Er Niu, who had just come out of the gap from the low post, and made another mid-range shot, but still missed.

Howard jumped up and got the rebound, and Warcraft couldn't have lost three backcourt rebounds in a row.

The entire Hawks team had a bad premonition, the cold feeling came at an inopportune time.It's terrible to lose the touch at the critical moment.

The offensive end can't be played, but the defensive end is still relatively strong.At least in the fourth quarter, the Magic still frequently hit the iron outside the 3-point line, and the score was still bitten, but this time the leader has become the Orlando Magic at home.

With 5 minutes left before the end of the game, the score had come to 79:86, the Hawks trailed by 7 points, and Mike Woodson immediately called a timeout.The main players have already been sent out, so we must strive to win.

"Kraft! Don't let me see you shooting from the outside again. Fuck Howard to death! Tell me, who is the number one center in the Eastern Conference?" Woodson pointed at the second man sitting on the bench. said the cow.

"Me! Of course it's me! In the next round, in the very next round, I will let the wild animal (wildanimal, the nickname of Warcraft) lie on the floor!" Ruan Erniu clenched his fist and swung it vigorously.

囧囧sen stood aside with a cold face, didn't say a word, but he also made up his mind: the next ball must be hit!

When the timeout expired, the two starting teams returned to the court again.

In the Eagles' offensive round, Ruan Erniu was in the low position immediately. He will no longer worry about Howard's defensive power this time.Even if you lose, you cannot disarm and surrender.

Anthony Johnson made a through pass and sent the ball to Ruan Erniu.Ruan Erniu sat down violently, and the spark behind him immediately felt a huge force coming from his knees.

Although the two had been fighting for a while, Howard was still surprised by Ruan Erniu's resolute inside attack. He thought that the Celestial's post-up attack ability was only at the NCAA level, and it was not enough to shake his defense.But the fact is that Howard himself has been forced back again and again, and has completely lost his defensive position.

A one-handed dunk, a roar, and an arrogant celebration of raising his hands to show his biceps, Ruan Erniu used his own strength to prove that he has a dominant post-up attack ability even in the NBA.

The old audience present seemed to see a young shark biting their beast. Orlando once had such a shark, and they were infinitely close to the championship.Just today, the Sharks shrank, put on yellow skin, put on an Eagles jersey, and once again wreaked havoc on opponents in this arena.

Howard was also angered. He never expected that in a preseason game, he would be humiliated by a rookie who looked harmless to humans and animals.

However, he still has no better way to fight back offensively.After squeezing in twice in a row, but still failed to break through Erniu's defense, he sent the ball to the outside line.

If it was Barkley or O'Neal who commented on the ball, they would say: "This kid is so muddy that he can't support the wall, and the core inside holding the ball failed to compress the opponent's defense, so he threw the ball back to his teammates. An irresponsible act. Are you Dwight a role player?"

Sure enough, the Magic hit the iron outside, and the ball once again came to the Eagles.

Ruan Erniu wanted the basketball again on the low-post offensive end. Howard also held his breath this time and must defend the ball.

However, facing Ruan Erniu's sweeping buttocks, Huo Huo was squeezed back again and again.This ball once again exposed Howard's lack of strength in the lower body. If Dayao hit the ball, he would never lose his position so easily.

Ruan Erniu made an inward cut and immediately occupied the inside position.However, Howard also learned his lesson this time, sticking to Ruan Erniu at the second point, suppressing his take-off space.

Huo Hua's tactics were correct, Ruan Erniu forced his way up, but the basketball was blocked by a rebound.But Er Niu's reaction speed was astonishing, and he quickly got the rebound.Before Howard could react, he jumped again for a two-arm dunk and smashed the ball into the basket.

"Di! ANDONE!" The referee is also a wonderful person who knows how to add icing on the cake, and Ruan Erniu got the chance to add a penalty.He adjusted his breath slightly at the free throw line, and made the free throw steadily.

During the entire process of scoring points, Ruan Erniu didn't spit out a single trash talk. He used his own strength to prove that he was the better inside player than Howard.

This 2+1 also became a watershed in the game.Although the Magic still didn't give up the game, they used 3-pointers to close the score from time to time, but facing the crazy Ruan Erniu, they were powerless to stop the rampage of the Celestial Insider.

98:95, even if it is only a small win of 3 points, the Atlanta Hawks have gained a lot.Anyone who has followed this game will understand that this eagle really has the momentum to soar into the sky this season!

It is foreseeable that if there are no unexpected circumstances, Atlanta's football market will usher in a bright future this season.
