Center first

Chapter 338
Perhaps in terms of vertical jumping ability, neither Lin Yi nor Howard can be regarded as the highest jumper in this league. Those flying people, if you find any one out, they may use their spring legs to prove this point, but adding these two After the guy's height, the moment they rise vertically from the floor, you can see what is shocking, especially when the arms of the two people are rising at the same time, stretching at the same time for that high-rising basketball , at this time, you will discover what is called a confrontation between giants.

The most unlucky thing now may be that poor basketball. The two big hands of Lin Yi and Howard pressed down on this poor orange-red elf almost at the same time. The upward trajectory of the plane twisted and flew to one side. This is how the contest between Lin Yi and Howard unfolded. No one gained control, and no one won the confrontation.

"No one's jumping ability is bad. Maybe the control of rebounds will be a key in this game. These two guys who are already on the rebounding average list seem to show us what is called the basket. Maybe our Howard will use his strong body to tell that Eastern kid what it means to grab a rebound."

The Magic team’s on-site commentary used such a tone to mobilize the atmosphere in the stadium. The high-altitude confrontation just now made these fans in the Amway Arena feel excited. Since our strength is stronger than the opponent, then we can enjoy it. Let's appreciate it, what is a duel between centers, I don't know how many years I haven't seen a pure contest between centers.

Oh, don’t forget, the origins of these two guys, Patrick Ewing and Olajuwon, that was the basket match that fascinated countless people. Maybe these two little guys can’t reach that level today Height, but at least they left us with hope, maybe in the near future, we can relive the glorious era of the center again, in their hands, that kind of peak confrontation may continue.

At least these two little guys are now considered the rarest species in the entire NBA league. Maybe they both have immaturity, but no one dares to deny that these two guys will support the gap after the Sharks and Yao leave, At least the confrontation between them may continue the offensive and defensive way of center forwards, so that people will not be able to monotonously enjoy the air show staged by those trappers.

One has strength, the other is flexible. Perhaps this kind of confrontation is the most comprehensive performance among center forwards. Strength and skill are always the main theme among center forwards. These two little guys are the representatives of these two qualities. Who can occupy them? Taking the initiative may only depend on their performance on the field. Whoever wins and who loses may only be determined in an instant, but the confrontation of strength and skill will be a kind of continuation between them.

The game did not stop because of these people's memories of the glory brought by the center in the past. After the aerial confrontation between Lin Yi and Howard was tied, the people of the two teams began to entangle each other, and they both wanted to fight. Seeing the right to take the initiative to attack, Chalmers and Alston even got into the basketball landing point, and they rushed to the place where the basketball fell almost at the same time.

The basketball flying to one side was controlled by Chalmers first, and Alston, who was a step behind him, followed him up. Although Alstom suffered a little bit from physical confrontation, his hands looked abnormal. Nimble, almost completed the movement of stealing the ball almost when Chalmers caught the basketball. If Chalmers hadn't subconsciously moved his body half a step forward, maybe he would have looked at Al now. Stone launched a fast break directly.

This is a very difficult guy. Although the opponent's body is a bit thin, Alston's footsteps are very flexible. The magic hands that have been honed on the street are always looming around Chalmers' body. Looking for the opportunity to break the basketball at any time, this made Chalmers, who was a little nervous before the start, a little flustered. He didn't pass the ball at the first time, and it wasn't until Bunch Wells turned around to respond. Get rid of the entanglement of the opponent.

"Point guards have weaknesses." Big Van Gundy can see from Chalmers' tense face that this guy is nervous. Without Wade, without Raja Bell, now he only relies on a freshman to support him. Miami's point guards suffer the most from their own team's possession, both in terms of age and experience, but this can only be said in relative terms.

A guy like Alston who came out of the street has never been a particularly traditional point guard. Maybe this guy has corrected a lot of bad habits as he got older in the past few years, but that kind of guy has to show off from time to time. The problems with his ball-handling skills still exist, especially his thin body and confusion in understanding the formation, often leaving the Magic with a gap in defense.

But Alston is better than his opponents in terms of experience. This guy has been in this league for a long time. Whether it is the playoffs or the regular season, he has experienced a lot more than his opponents. This may be a big reason. The only place where Van Gundy can feel at ease is that his point guard is not strong, but the opponent's is weaker. Perhaps this kind of matchup is the best choice.

"It would be great if that guy Nelson wasn't injured. I don't know how long it will take for him to come back. If he is on the court now, maybe we will take advantage of the point guard." Big Van Gundy sighed a little regretfully. Tone, after all, Alstom is just a substitute, and Jamil Nelson is his best choice, but the guy's test results just came out a few days ago. Although those injured places have healed, they are far away No one is sure whether a guy who has been in the arena for more than three months can immediately enter the battle.

What Van Gundy is thinking about is also a hidden danger that Pat Riley is considering now. From the performance just now, it can be seen that Chalmers is too nervous, but he can't expect too much from him. After all, this little guy is just a For a rookie of the first year, since he is allowed to serve as the starting point guard in such an important game, then you need a little courage to take risks.

This little guy has improved a lot in this year's game. You can't ask for more from him. The lack of a guard can only make Pat Riley take risks and use such an inexperienced rookie to fight hard against opponents. Fight hard, at least in terms of physical fitness, Chalmers will steadily eat Alston, I just hope he can restore a calm mind as soon as possible, and get back the rhythm he is familiar with. The point guard is the source of a team's offense. He must not collapse. It seems that not every first-year rookie has Lin Yi's tough nerves.

With the help of Bunch Wells, Chalmers finally got rid of Alstom's entanglement. After crossing the half-court, he could use his body to resist the harassment of the streetball king as much as possible, and stably to the opponent But he is a little troubled now because he doesn't know how to choose the target of the pass. Lin Yi, who has already started to grab positions in the interior, was originally his first choice, but the Magic team who are cruising around Players often blocked Chalmers' line of sight, which prevented him from having a good view to observe Lin Yi's position.

"The overall height has dropped significantly, and there will be a height gap when attacking and defending." Both Van Gundy and Pat Riley had expected such a result before the game. Miami without McDyess and Haslem The Heat, first of all, will suffer a dumb loss in matchup defense. Turkoglu and Lewis, two guys over [-] meters, are poking there. How do you defend?This is a big problem, Pat Riley can only use some extraordinary means to make up for this defect.

Tough!Chalmers made a bold decision when he failed to pass the ball into the interior several times in a row. He raised his head to observe the opponent's defensive loopholes, which made him successfully interfere with his pass several times before. Alston, who was looking at the ball, made a wrong decision. He took a step forward and got stuck in front of his opponent, waving his hands.

Opportunity, this is what Chalmers was waiting for. He twisted his body and passed Alston when his opponent took the first step. It was just a simple wrong step, but it was a defensive loophole in itself. It is basically impossible for Alstom to intercept the opponent when his body center of gravity has changed.

Like the wind, Chalmers almost used his fastest speed to pass by Alston's side, which caused the Magic's half-court defense to collapse in an instant. His bold action gave him It has brought a very good effect. Compared with him, the rest of the Miami Heat may be more threatening, so no one responds to the defensive defense in the first place, which is also because of Alstom's dislocation speed Too fast, so that others have not had time to fill the gap.

Piercing, Chalmers' breakthrough was like a thorn directly piercing the inside of the Magic team. The explosion at one point triggered a change in the overall formation. Courtney Lee and Lewis both recovered quickly, but their response The withdrawal speed is far inferior to that of Chalmers, who has been speeding up. The guy has stepped on the right three-second zone line and directly attacked the basket under their gaze.

But it doesn't mean that you have crossed the defense of the entire Magic team if you break through one person. Don't forget, there is still a big guy under their basket. Chalmers is going to end this time with a layup. When he was attacking, a big hand suddenly appeared from under the basket and slapped him fiercely. The big slap with all five fingers spread as hard as possible slapped him hard. Chalmers heard it clearly.

Howard!The big guy who was still entangled with Lin Yi just now appeared on Chalmers' attack line without warning. No one knew how he got rid of Lin Yi's entanglement, and neither did Chalmers. Time to think about those issues, the big slap is almost coming, all he can do is adjust his attack method as much as possible.

Shaking his wrist, Chalmers faced such a sudden big slap, the only reaction he could make in the air was to use his wrist strength to throw the basketball high, trying to get past the slap However, the speed of his forward impact was too fast, the distance had been shortened by him imperceptibly, and the high-throwed basketball did not completely cross the coverage of those few fingers.

At this moment, that big slap seemed to be an insurmountable mountain, and the owner of that big slap brought more oppression. The momentum and jumping force of the volley made Chalmers a little suffocated. It was as if what suddenly appeared in front of him was not a person, but a black mountain, and he was bumping into it without any suspense, and what awaited him was only the feeling of destruction.

Passed, when Chalmers and the big slap crossed each other, he could clearly hear the sound of the collision between the fingers and the basketball. It was very slight, but you can't deny that he had touched it. Sometimes such a collision can change the trajectory and fate of the basketball. The orange basketball did not fall directly into the net as Chalmers thought, but hit the basket heavily, high and low. of bounce.

A beautiful cover!When the Magic supporters in the Amway Arena were about to cheer for such a block, a shot that they least wanted to see appeared under the basket of the Magic. Howard, who had just completed a block, was in the When he turned around, he didn't see the basketball falling. All he could see was a guy in white blocking his view.

The bright red number 34 on the back is a bit dazzling at such a close distance, and the orange basketball is being completely covered by a pair of big hands, and it is being pushed down by the strength of those hands. What followed was a huge roar, and Howard could even hear the metal sound of the basket being pulled echoing in his ears.

That guy from the East, the guy who didn't stop Howard from throwing out just now, he didn't block Howard's block, but he completed the first offense of the Miamis in this way, an unforgettable offense, when the pair When the big hand was released from the basket, only the trembling basketball hoop and a big man pointing at the logo on his chest remained on the big screen.

"HEAT, we are Miami, and we are here to let you feel the temperature of the Heat." Lin Yi looked into Howard's eyes and said word by word, maybe he wouldn't show himself like this in normal times Attitude, but not today, he must stand up, he needs to give all his teammates a guarantee, a guarantee of victory, as long as he is there, the Miami people will not lose any games easily, it is the same in Cleveland, and it is the same in Orlando , no one will win him casually.

After Lin Yi said this, he turned and left without looking back. He patted Chalmers who was still a little scared. He wanted to tell his teammates in this way that there was nothing to be nervous about. Everything was up to me. Now, I will try my best to get every shot you miss. The space under the basket is up to me. No one wants to take control of it from me.

Just now, Howard's pounce was so powerful that it exceeded Lin Yi's expectation. He could even feel a trembling feeling when half of his body was in contact with that guy. He had already tried his best to block that guy. position, but still failed to stop him at the first time, that guy's strength seems to be stronger than before, and the force from the muscles of his body is also more violent. Matching offense and defense will not be too easy, or it will be very tragic.

He can only try his best to grasp those possible opportunities to score points for the team, just like just now, although he didn't completely block Howard's position, but his body also hindered that guy's footsteps, for himself Waiting for the tip-up to get a good opportunity, he will not be stingy to use this opportunity to perform, every successful offense may win a little courage for his team, he must play the role of leader, Use your own hands to support this team, even if it is difficult, it doesn't matter.

"That guy Lin Yi is more like a captain than me now. It seems that you can consider letting this guy take up this position next season, but it's fine in the locker room. Sometimes this guy is too boring." Wei Wei De exchanged opinions with Spoelstra who was sitting beside him. The actions of Lin Yi just now made Flash see another side of this little guy. Although this kid rarely said anything, he always used his own Just like just now, he can use this kind of attack to relieve the nervousness of his teammates, and he can also use a provocative action to warn the opponent not to try to knock him down. Such a guy may Will be a good captain successor.

"That guy is always used to speaking with his own hands. He is willing to be a mute, but he will not be stingy with his expression on the court. The action just now is very handsome. I really don't know how he came up with it." Spoelstra Erstra has now realized that he can't live without that big guy, alas, I hope I don't fall in love with this guy, he doesn't want to be gay yet.

Lin Yi's offense stopped the cheers in the Amway Arena. A blocked shot that filled the arena with explosive cheers was ended by a two-handed slam dunk. That's how the Heat's No. 34 guy It kicked off the prelude to the fight between the two teams, using a very violent way, just look at the basketball hoop that has not stopped shaking, and now no one dares to guarantee that they will definitely win this game Yes, just because of the existence of one person, they have changed this view.

The Miami people will never collapse like the Cleveland people. They have their own absolute core. If that guy does not disappear from this arena, there will be no such thing as their collapse. Those big hands have changed the thinking of many people. It's simple, it's direct, it's crazy. . .

Howard stared at the big man running towards his half court, he clenched his fist fiercely, the block just now could have been done more completely, if that guy hadn't used his body to carry himself hard , Maybe he can completely cover the basketball with his palm, if he can seal the opponent like that, maybe everything just now will not happen.

That quick-responsive guy, he will always find some gaps in his body, even if it is a very short moment, he will catch the opportunity to attack, and there may not be many people who will do the second in the moment he pounces. Reaction, but he can do such a thing. The tip-up just now can be said to be that after he landed, that guy had already risen in the air. When he turned around, those big hands had already completed all the attacking movements. All he could see was the figure frantically pulling at the basket.

"No one can perform to their heart's content on my turf, this is my home turf!" Howard slammed his palm hard with his fist, and he took the basketball that was left at his feet with a big hand Grabbed violently.

"Attack! Don't let those Miami guys look down on us! This is Orlando, not Miami, and it's not up to these guys to act wild!" Howard roared loudly, and his expression might even appeal to the fans in the Amway Arena. Few have seen it, and they rarely see any anger from this big man who loves to laugh. Even when he is violated by his opponent, he can only shake his head helplessly and complain to the referee. Actively express any intention of himself, he will always be the fourth or even the fifth person in the team, and even Nelson has more say than him.

But this guy's performance in the opening stage today is so fierce. Although the pounce just now was unsuccessful, the desperate blocking energy that even gave up self-protection can be said to make the entire Amway Arena almost It boiled up, and now for the first time his roar spread to every corner of the arena.

"That kid is finally acting like the soul of the team. It seems that competition is not without benefits. At least the existence of Lin Yi is a stimulus and a good catalyst for him. It seems that the kid today Maybe it will give me a little surprise." Patrick Ewing sat on the coach's bench, watching the guy he taught himself instigating his teammates there, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The battle between the two has only lasted the first round, and the outcome is still unknown. Since you have lit the flames, then you are waiting for me under the basket, waiting for my counterattack. Howard's big hands are already clenched. Tight, he waited for the moment of the explosion, he would use the same method to shock the opponent's nerves, just like Lin Yi did just now.

The confrontation between the peaks officially begins from this moment. . .
